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

Gu Fanghan felt a mix of emotions.

He didn't want Sun Rong to bring this matter to the Emperor's attention. What should A Yi do?

But what she did to Xiao Rong was truly hateful.

Gu Fanghan clenched her fists tightly, and the feeling of standing on the edge of an abyss surged into her heart again.

The women he held in his hands, one above the other, were either about to be swallowed by the abyss's gaping maw...

If it's inevitably a life-or-death situation, Gu Fanghan wants both of them to live.

"I'll go with you to file a complaint with the emperor!"

The intense murderous aura surrounding Sun Rong gradually subsided, and she returned to her former appearance.

She floated in mid-air, gazing intently at Gu Fanghan, and said in a calm voice,

"Brother Fang Han, I don't want to put you in a difficult position, but if I don't appeal to the emperor, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die."

Gu Fanghan shook her head with a wry smile and said softly,

"Xiao Rong, I understand. No matter what, Brother Fang Han understands..."

"Uncle Gu, can I borrow something from you?"

Yin Liuli casually pulled a jade pendant from his waist and said to Sun Rong indifferently,

"Come in yourself. Tomorrow, I will take you to see the Emperor."

Sun Rong nodded, and in a flash, she transformed into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the jade pendant.

Yin Liuli accepted the jade pendant.

"Uncle Gu, if I may be so bold as to ask, what are your thoughts on Sun Rong's lawsuit against Princess Chengyi tomorrow to seek justice for herself?"

Gu Fanghan gave a bitter smile, her face carrying an indescribable emotion.

"If I had the choice, I would rather Xiao Rong kill me."

Yin Liuli frowned. "You want to die in Princess Chengyi's place?"

Gu Fanghan shook her head again.

"I just want to atone for my wife's sins."

His eyes were glazed over as he slowly raised his hands, looking at them, and murmured...

"They both died because of me. If one of them has to fall into the abyss, it can only be me..."

"Uncle Gu, what did you say...?"

Yin Liuli didn't understand what he meant and was about to ask again when Chu Lingyun suddenly stopped her.

Chu Lingyun gently shook her head, telling her not to ask any more questions.

Gu Fanghan gave a bitter smile and sighed softly.

"No matter how evil Cheng Yi did, her feelings for me never diminished."

Xiao Rong was someone I loved when I was young and innocent. Although I've let go of her all these years, I still owe her a life...

"Never mind, child, you're too young to understand many things."

Yin Liuli puffed out her cheeks in protest.

"Just tell me, and I'll understand."

Gu Fanghan suddenly gave Chu Lingyun a meaningful look.

"If you haven't experienced something, you won't understand it even if I tell you about it."

"But this young master Chu, he's really in a difficult position."

Chu Lingyun pursed her lips deeply and thanked him with her eyes.

Between men, some things are obvious at a glance.

Although Gu Fanghan had experienced a chaotic situation, he knew that Chu Lingyun always kept one hand behind his back, ready to lend Yin Liuli a helping hand at any time.

If Yin Liuli is unable to deal with Sun Rong, Chu Lingyun will definitely step forward and take the fatal blow for her.

The way he looked at Yin Liuli was something any man could understand—it contained a deep emotion.

"My senior brother?"

Yin Liuli was already confused, and when Gu Fanghan mentioned Chu Lingyun, she looked even more puzzled. "What's so difficult about him?"

Gu Fanghan shook her head, got up and left.

"Senior Brother, what did Uncle Gu say you were having trouble with?"

Yin Liuli pressed Chu Lingyun for an answer, "You're not coming to the palace with me tomorrow, so just focus on recovering. What's there to make things difficult for you?"

Chu Lingyun looked somewhat embarrassed.

Yin Liuli was completely bewildered, but persisted.

"Senior Brother, tell me, did Liuli do something wrong that made you unhappy?"

"Say it! Say it! What Senior Brother said, Liuli will definitely change!"

Chu Lingyun, "..."

From childhood to adulthood, you've always said this after you've been naughty and mischievous, but I've never seen you change!

"Whoosh..."

The crane envoy flapped its wings and flew over, gently landing on Yin Liuli's shoulder.

"You're back! Gu Jinyan sent you back, what does he want to say?"

Yin Liuli was immediately filled with questions, leaving Chu Lingyun aside, and eagerly opened the paper crane.

A hint of melancholy flashed in Chu Lingyun's eyes as she quietly walked out.

Soon after, Yin Liuli's clear and melodious laughter came from behind.

"They've settled in the Empress Dowager's palace, don't worry... don't worry? You sent the crane messenger over with just those few words, I thought you were going to say something!"

Hmm... how should I reply? I've taken care of things here, Gu Jinyan. If I told you that I'm taking Sun Rong to file a complaint with the emperor tomorrow, would you be surprised?

Okay, I'll write it down for you now!

With just one sentence, Gu Jinyan completely won over his junior sister's heart.

Chu Lingyun stood blankly in the corridor, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.

……

Yin Liuli returned to her room, spread out the paper crane, and wrote densely packed words on it in tiny characters.

She wrote down everything that had just happened for him.

For some reason, Yin Liuli found herself enjoying chatting with Gu Jinyan more and more.

No matter what the matter is, the first thing she thinks of is talking to Gu Jinyan.

She refolded the crane, raised her hand, and lifted the little thing into the air. Then, she rested her chin on her hand under the lamp, lost in thought.

I wonder how Gu Jinyan will react when he hears that Sun Rong has filed a complaint with the emperor.

Before long, the crane messenger, carrying a bellyful of information, flew back into Yin Liuli's hands.

Yin Liuli eagerly opened the letter and saw the authoritative handwriting on it.

Gu Jinyan replied that if this matter were to be brought before the Emperor, it would inevitably damage the royal family's reputation.

Moreover, his mother was stubborn and arrogant, and even if she was reprimanded by the emperor, she might not repent.

However, he told Yin Liuli to go ahead and do her thing. With him and the Empress around, nothing serious would happen to Princess Chengyi.

He will go see the Empress Dowager now to discuss how to preserve the dignity of the royal family while also getting rid of Sun Rong's resentment, and ideally, find a solution that satisfies both sides.

Yin Liuli quickly replied to him,

"We split into two groups and kept in touch with each other."

……

Under the candlelight, Yin Liuli had fallen asleep at her desk at some point.

As dawn approached, Chu Lingyun passed by the door.

Seeing that slender figure sleeping at her desk in the window, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

There were about ten cranes perched beside her; she had been chatting with Gu Jinyan for who knows how long last night.

Chu Lingyun watched quietly, then suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

"This servant greets Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu, you're up so early?"

Yin Mei and the other three were used to getting up early to practice martial arts. When they saw him standing in front of Yin Liuli's window, they quickly went up to greet him.

Chu Lingyun withdrew her gaze, suddenly pointed to her shoulder, and then left through the window.

"What does Young Master Chu mean by this?"

Yin Mei looked on with curiosity and went over to take a look, only to find out that Chu Lingyun was telling them to cover the young lady's body.

……

As dawn broke, Yin Liuli suddenly opened her eyes, her first instinct being to reach for the crane envoy beside her.

A new crane perched quietly on the table, and she quickly opened it.

I talked to Gu Jinyan for a long time last night and finally got the matter of filing a complaint with the emperor settled. I don't know when I fell asleep.

Unfolding the paper crane, a line of text immediately made Yin Liuli frown.
