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

Gu Fanghan smiled and said,

"His Majesty and the Cabinet discussed matters all day long, issued an edict, and handed it over to the Hanlin Academy for transcription. After finishing their work, the Prime Minister and I returned together."

I never expected that as soon as I left the palace, I would hear that his young lady had gone to your villa, so I had no choice but to accompany her.

He was gentle and refined, and his tone was unhurried and mild, making him very pleasant to listen to.

Yin Liuli blinked.

He is Gu Jinyan's father, so he must be Princess Chengyi's husband?

Compared to the arrogant and domineering Cheng Yi, Gu Jinyan's father is much more likable!

Gu Jinyan also acted out of character in his presence, his tone unusually polite and respectful.

"Father, you've had a long journey. How about you have your meal here with me today?"

"No need, your mother dislikes being alone and doesn't like eating alone."

Gu Fanghan gave Yin Liuli a meaningful look, then smiled warmly, "Yan'er, we have guests at your residence. Why don't you introduce them to your father?"

"It was my oversight."

A smile appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face as he reached out and pulled Yin Liuli closer.

"Father, she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis Yin family, Yin Liuli, and that is her fellow disciple, Chu Lingyun."

The other day, Miss Shen was kidnapped and her whereabouts were unknown. It was Liuli and Brother Chu who rescued her.

"Uncle, you're Gu Jinyan's father! Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Yin Liuli stepped forward to greet him and said generously, "I was so busy arguing with the Prime Minister that I didn't even see you."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Mei quietly poked her in the lower back from behind.

Yin Liuli turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Mei's face darkened. She tried both winking and whispering reminders in a high-pitched voice.

"Master, let's not talk about arguing!"

"What's wrong? I was just arguing with the Prime Minister, and I even won!"

Yin Liuli looked puzzled.

Startled, Yin Mei quickly lowered her head and subtly waved her hand at her.

Gu Fanghan came from a scholarly family that valued poetry and etiquette. Three generations of his family had achieved the title of top scholar in the imperial examinations and were selected by the emperor to enter the Hanlin Academy.

He himself became the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and married a princess.

One's status must not be anything less than noble!

My lady, is it appropriate for you to bring up the argument in front of your future father-in-law on your first meeting with him?

"It's alright, it's alright. I actually like her straightforward personality!"

Gu Fanghan laughed loudly, patted Gu Jinyan on the shoulder and said, "Yan'er has been spoiled by his mother all these years. It's time for someone to properly restrain his temperament."

"Miss Liuli, if Yan'er ever makes you angry in the future, just say the word, and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

Yin Liuli said with a grin,

"Gu Jinyan wouldn't dare mess with me!"

Gu Jinyan playfully wrinkled his nose at her.

Believe it or not, he really didn't dare, and he couldn't bear to part with it.

This was the first time Gu Fanghan had seen her son so attentive to a young woman, and she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Alright, it's not late yet. Your mother must be getting impatient waiting at home. I'll head back now."

"Yan'er, you must take good care of Miss Liuli and this Young Master Chu in your father's stead."

"Even the prince consort knows it's already dark. Why aren't you back at your residence? What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, Princess Chengyi's displeased voice came from outside.

Everyone turned to look in that direction.

Princess Chengyi arrived in front of the crowd in a sedan chair, her face showing a hint of anger.

"Ah Yi, what brings you here?"

Gu Fanghan stepped forward gracefully.

Princess Chengyi looked down at him and sneered.

"I was just asking you that! These past few days you've been coming home after dark, I wonder what you've been doing outside!"

Why didn't you go out of town today? Did you have some important business to attend to?"

A glint suddenly flashed in Gu Fanghan's eyes, and she calmly shook her head.

"Why would I go out of town?"

"Why did you say you wanted to leave town?"

Princess Chengyi's expression hardened, and she said sarcastically,

"Do you think I don't know? It's either today or tomorrow, the day is almost here, aren't you going?"

Gu Fanghan frowned and said in a calm tone,

"Ah Yi, I promised you I wouldn't go again..."

Cheng Yi snorted coldly.

"You won't go back? What a joke! Who burned all this stuff for her!"

As she spoke, she threw a bundle at Gu Fanghan's feet, her face full of anger.

"Gu Fanghan, you said you would never lie to me again in this lifetime, how do you explain this!"

The bundle was thrown on the ground, scattering many snacks and fruits, mixed with ashes and some unburnt paper money.

Everyone was completely confused and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yin Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing an unusual aura emanating from the package.

Gu Jinyan looked puzzled and hurriedly stepped forward to say,

"Mother, what does this mean?"

Cheng Yi's face was ashen, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger.

"You'd be better off asking your father what he means than asking me!"

"Ah Yi, you've gone..."

Gu Fanghan's expression darkened.

"Of course I went!"

Cheng Yi raised her chin, giving a haughty sneer.

"If I don't go, how can I see the longing the prince consort has felt for her all these years?"

Not only will I go, I'll dig up her grave and see for myself what she's capable of that has kept you captivated all these years!

"Ah Yi!"

A flicker of tension crossed Gu Fanghan's eyes, and her voice suddenly turned icy, "Don't tell me you really disturbed her grave!"

"Father, what happened? Whose grave is it?"

Gu Jinyan had never seen his parents argue so fiercely, and his heart tightened involuntarily.

Gu Fanghan's chest heaved slightly as she raised her hand and pushed him away.

"Yan'er, this is a private matter between your mother and me. You should not interfere."

Cheng Yi's face was ashen, and she gritted her teeth fiercely.

"I might move her, I might dig her up and whip her corpse, what can you do about it!"

Gu Fanghan's gentle eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as she said coldly,

"Ah Yi, you've gone too far!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and strode out.

Gu Jinyan quickly chased after him.

"Father! Where is Father?"

Gu Fanghan's face was gloomy. She said a few words to him and then left.

Gu Jinyan had no choice but to rush back to persuade his mother, but before he could speak, Princess Chengyi, her eyes red with anger, followed Gu Fanghan's retreating figure and shouted indignantly.

"Prince Consort! Where are you going? Come back here and explain yourself! Guards, go after him!"

The sedan chair bearers hurriedly carried her to chase after Gu Fanghan, leaving behind a mess.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Liuli, I'll go with you and take a look."

Gu Jinyan's expression darkened slightly, and he frowned as he spoke.

"My father is kind and gentle, and he has always been very loving towards my mother. This is not the first time my mother has been so temperamental, but it is the first time I have ever seen him so angry."

Yin Liuli grabbed him and said calmly,

"Their matter is related to this package of offerings. Gu Jinyan, you'd better find out the reason, otherwise I'm afraid your father will get into big trouble."

Gu Jinyan's heart tightened.
