Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"Splash..."

After an unknown amount of time, a faint sound came from outside the window, and Gu Jinyan suddenly opened his eyes.

A small crane flew in and gently landed on the table.

A smile suddenly appeared on Gu Jinyan's tired face as he eagerly grabbed the paper crane.

Inside, upon disassembly, were several elegant small regular script characters.

"See you at the villa."

Even though it was only three words, Gu Jinyan couldn't help but smile.

……

"Senior Brother!"

As soon as she stepped off the carriage, Yin Liuli flew out like a butterfly, shouting joyfully, "Senior Brother, I'm back!"

Yin Mei followed behind, smiling calmly.

"Master, please slow down."

Yin Zhu and the others, carrying large and small bags, said with smiles,

"Our mistress hasn't even had half an hour of rest before she rushes off to see her senior brother!"

"Yes, I wonder who this senior brother is, but look how pleased our master is with him..."

"The fact that Master bought so many things shows how highly regarded this senior brother is in Master's heart!"

……

Yin Liuli rushed excitedly towards Chu Lingyun's courtyard.

To everyone's surprise, a slender figure sat in the hall, dressed in a light-colored silk robe, with a few pearls and jade ornaments in her hair.

A softly sculpted profile, radiating a gentle glow, gazed at Chu Lingyun with sparkling eyes.

Does the eldest brother already have someone?

Bah! Senior Brother, do you have guests?

Yin Liuli immediately slowed her pace, beckoned to a maid in the courtyard, and asked softly,

"Hey, come here...who is she?"

The maid stepped forward and said with a smile,

"Replying to the Princess Consort, it is Miss Shen from the Prime Minister's residence who has come to visit Young Master Chu."

"oh!"

Yin Liuli slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing what was going on.

She only saw Miss Shen's profile and didn't react for a moment.

The maid hurriedly said,

"Miss Shen also brought quite a few gifts as a token of her gratitude! This servant will inform the young master on your behalf..."

Yin Liuli quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, let them speak first."

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingtang found her way here and came to thank her in person.

Her bright eyes darted around, and a charming, playful smile appeared on her face.

She found the pillar closest to the hall and hid behind it.

They pricked up their ears and eavesdropped secretly.

"When Qingtang recalled that time, she realized that Young Master Chu had saved her life, and Qingtang was extremely grateful."

Shen Qingtang's face flushed with shyness, and she lowered her head and whispered.

"Grandfather also misunderstood Young Master Chu, and almost..."

Qingtang was raised by her grandfather from a young age. When he saw me like that, he was so worried that he didn't ask any questions.

Qingtang apologizes on behalf of her grandfather, and hopes that Young Master Chu will not take offense.

As she spoke, she rose and gracefully bowed.

"Well……"

Chu Lingyun responded hoarsely and quickly raised his hand to offer a helping hand.

He pointed to his throat, then turned and wrote "You're welcome" on a piece of paper.

A look of surprise flashed across Shen Qingtang's face, and she quickly asked,

"Your voice... Young Master Chu, what's wrong? Is it because you saved me?"

of course!

Yin Liuli pouted with heartache. If Senior Brother wasn't doing this for you, who else could he be doing it for?

The evil talisman you are afflicted with is extremely powerful; even with the senior brother's cultivation level, he cannot dispel it in a short time.

He risked half his life to save you!

Seeing Shen Qingtang's eyes redden, Chu Lingyun waved his hand dismissively and wrote on the paper.

"It's understandable, don't worry about it."

"cut……"

Yin Liuli scoffed inwardly.

The eldest brother has been good in every way since childhood, except that he is too easygoing and always puts others first in everything he does.

She was almost driven mad by the prime minister!

With her fiery temper, even if the prime minister asked the emperor himself to beg her, she wouldn't budge!

Looking at that handsome and sincere face, Shen Qingtang felt a sudden flutter in her heart.

She quietly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a slightly trembling voice,

"Young Master Chu and Qing Tang met by chance, and you were so badly injured while saving Qing Tang. Besides gratitude, Qing Tang truly doesn't know what to say... Please accept Qing Tang's bow, Young Master Chu!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and knelt down again.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Chu Lingyun's face.

Unable to speak, he could only bow again and raise his hand in a gesture of support.

Shen Qingtang had just recovered and was still feeling weak. When she knelt down, she suddenly saw a bunch of stars and almost fainted.

This time, Chu Lingyun's feigned support turned into a real support, and he quickly took her into his arms.

He opened his mouth, but could only ask with his eyes, "Are you alright?"

Shen Qingtang fell into his strong arm, and her delicate face instantly turned bright red.

She didn't dare look Chu Lingyun in the eye, and hurriedly stood up, stammering,

"Thank you very much, Young Master Chu. I was feeling a little unwell just now, please forgive me."

Chu Lingyun gently shook his head, and only after watching her sit down did he slowly write:

Your soul is not yet fully at peace; you should rest at home.

A blush crossed Shen Qingtang's face as she pursed her lips and whispered,

"Qingtang is deeply grateful to the young master for saving her life, and she would feel uneasy if she did not come to express her gratitude in person."

Chu Lingyun shook her head again, a hint of a smile appearing in her cool eyes, and raised her hand to write.

"No need to be polite, go back and rest early."

Shen Qingtang glanced at the young man's vigorous calligraphy, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. She pursed her lips deeply and asked softly,

"Does Young Master Chu find Qing Tang too talkative?"

She went back to rest and recuperate, but for some reason, all she could think about was Chu Lingyun's handsome face.

Especially those clear, cold, and resolute eyes; they linger in my mind the moment I close my eyes.

She had met many sons of noble families and, because she often attended banquets at the palace, she also became acquainted with many princes.

I have never seen such a cool, pure, and clean face on a man's face.

She couldn't help but think of Chu Lingyun.

"Clatter!"

Yin Liuli slammed her hand on the table.

She hid behind a pillar, watching with growing anxiety.

Senior Brother is so stupid!

Even a fool could see that Miss Shen came over specifically to thank you, eager to chat with you a little longer.

You either nod or shake your head!

I know you can't speak yet, so why don't you write more for people to see? Why are you chasing people away?

Just as I was getting worried about this clueless senior brother, someone suddenly appeared behind me.

Yin Liuli turned around, and Gu Jinyan's well-defined face was right in front of her.

"Bang"

Her forehead bumped into Gu Jinyan's chin, causing her to wince in pain.

"What are you peeking at here for?"

Gu Jinyan raised his hand to rub her forehead, then slyly peered into the hall.

"Shh!"

Yin Liuli quickly raised her hand to cover her lips, signaling him to stop talking, and blinked hard at him with her clear, bright eyes.

Her quirky and mischievous appearance made Gu Jinyan's heart skip a beat.

He craned his neck for a glance, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and whispered in Yin Liuli's ear,

"It's truly rare for Miss Shen to personally come to our door!"

Yin Liuli blinked, raised her hand to push his face towards her, and asked in his ear,

"What's so strange about her coming to thank my senior brother for saving her life?"
