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

"Splash splash splash..."

A loud splash caused the water droplets suspended in mid-air to turn into a torrential rain, falling back into the pond.

The fish that had been leaping about in the mud instantly regained their vitality and swam in the water as if nothing had happened.

Sure enough, a fish's memory only lasts seven seconds.

They had completely forgotten about being controlled by the fish demon and circling and forming formations in the water.

Ling Hua was still angrily trying to excuse herself.

"Don't talk nonsense! How could I harm Grandmother! I gave her a koi fish as a gift, but who knew it would be this one..."

"How come I remember it being this one?"

Miss Wan's mother, the eldest daughter of Prince Shan's mansion, sneered and chimed in for her daughter, "Linghua, when your mother celebrated her birthday, the fish you presented with a 'Fu' character on its head really made a splash!"

On her mother's birthday, she and her daughter went to great lengths to find a pure white jade ruyi to present to her, but Ling Hua stole the show with a fish.

Afterwards, the girl brazenly flaunted the jade bracelets in front of the mother and son.

Well, now she's really messed up by trying to flatter him. Let's see how she gets out of this mess!

Ling Hua looked embarrassed. "Auntie must have seen wrong..."

Prince Shan's face darkened. "Linghua, did you really send this fish?"

"Grandfather, no..."

Seeing her grandfather's anger, Linghua panicked and knelt down with a thud, saying in a trembling voice,

"Grandfather listened to his granddaughter's explanation that the fish was... a gift from Linghua to his grandmother, but little did she know it was actually a fish demon..."

"I know it was unintentional, but you almost killed your grandmother!"

Prince Shan's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "She's in her forties, how can she withstand this kind of torment? And you! What am I supposed to say to you!"

"Grandfather, I swear to God I didn't do it on purpose! I know you like raising fish, and I only wanted to make you smile!"

Ling Hua covered her face and wept bitterly, but secretly gritted her teeth, waves of hatred swirling in her heart.

She went to great lengths to get a "lucky" koi fish, but her attempt to flatter backfired spectacularly!

That's it, we're completely finished!

Her grandparents had more than a dozen grandchildren, but she was just an ordinary girl. Over the years, she had to go to great lengths, being both attentive and ingratiating, to win her grandmother's favor!

Since her grandmother fell ill, she has been taking care of her at her bedside without taking off her clothes, earning her a reputation for filial piety among her grandchildren.

If Yin Liuli hadn't exposed the truth, even if her grandmother had been killed by this fish demon, no one would have suspected her!

That wretched Yin Liuli, what brings you here? Who told you to meddle in other people's business!

Why don't you just die?

"Oh my gosh... Master!"

A wisp of green smoke flew out of Yin Liuli's ear, and a loud cry rang out as it landed on Yin Liuli's shoulder, pointing angrily at the agonizing Ling Hua.

"In her heart, she's cursing you for being a busybody, and telling you to just die!"

"..."

Yin Liuli thought to herself, "Just look at her attitude. Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing out here?"

"Wow!"

Waaah snorted unhappily, "I also want to cultivate properly, but her insults are just too awful!"

She did something foolish herself, what right does she have to scold her master! Waaah… Master, let me teach her a lesson!

"Clatter"

Yin Liuli lightly flicked his forehead with her slender fingers. "Alright, your soul is still unstable, why are you getting angry? Listen to less gossip in the future and focus on your cultivation."

"Wow...yes!"

It exhaled a puff of white air from its nose and reluctantly crawled back inside.

"Alright, stop crying! I know you've always been filial, you just meant well but did something wrong."

Prince Shan waved his hand helplessly, softening his voice, "Grandfather didn't mean to blame you, just don't be so rash in the future."

You don't need to serve your grandmother anymore for a while, get up.

"Granddaughter understands. Granddaughter will be more careful in the future."

Ling Hua rose, sobbing, her tear-filled eyes flashing with malice as she glared fiercely at Yin Liuli.

"Grandfather, there's something else I want to say, but I'm not sure if I should!"

Yin Liuli made her the sinner who harmed her grandmother, and she was scolded by her grandfather, became a laughing stock, and lost all face. Not to mention, she would probably never get her grandparents' favor again.

How could she possibly swallow this insult?

Prince Shan frowned. "Is there anything else?"

"She...this Princess Anle!"

Ling Hua's brows furrowed, and she pointed at Yin Liuli, saying, "My granddaughter doesn't understand. She just grabs a fish from the pond and calls it a demon."

"Playing tricks! Before she arrived, Grandmother was clearly still able to speak, but now she's rendered barely alive!"

Gu Jinyan frowned, his voice icy.

"Linghua, you made a mistake and showed no remorse, yet you try to blame it on me, the Crown Princess?"

"Isn't that right?"

Ling Hua's voice was sharp and stern. "Who here understands those superstitious things? Yet she does?"

Linghua wonders what grudge she has against this Princess Anle. Why is she targeting me?

Yin Liuli glanced at Ling Hua and said impatiently,

"Don't mess with me."

"You say that fish is a demon, then let someone see what a demon actually looks like!"

Ling Hua's resentment had overwhelmed her reason, and she relentlessly pressed towards Yin Liuli.

"Perhaps you couldn't see anything amiss and just used some kind of sorcery to pin the crime on a fish!"

Gu Jinyan's tall figure blocked Yin Liuli's path, his face icy cold.

"Stop! Put your hands down."

"Brother Yan, am I wrong?"

Ling Hua said with a look of disgust, "She just said one thing and I got scolded by my grandfather."

Without evidence, how can you expect me to be convinced?

"I told you to put your hand down."

Gu Jinyan's brows furrowed sharply. "My Crown Princess isn't someone anyone can just designate?"

"Brother Yan..."

Linghua felt a sharp pain in her heart and began to sob, "We've been friends since we were little, how come even you don't believe me?"

"Yes, as soon as this Princess Anle arrived, she claimed it was some kind of monster causing trouble, but who knew how the blame would fall on my Hua'er?"

Linghua's mother also chimed in, saying sarcastically, "Did Hua'er say something wrong? Nobody has ever seen any monsters, so how do you know what she said is true?"

Whether there are monsters in this world is still uncertain. For example, the koi fish that Hua'er gave me is a monster!

Even if she's a demon, why was she chosen by my Hua'er? Who knows what kind of trickery is hidden here...

"Alright!"

Before he could finish speaking, Prince Shan shouted, "Women are all talk and no action! Stop spouting nonsense and making a fool of yourselves! Get back to the inner quarters right now!"

Seeing Ling Hua's defiant expression, his heart skipped a beat.

He knew his granddaughter had been exposed in public, and he was embarrassed and angry after being scolded.

Why did she have to provoke Yin Liuli of all people?

Yin Liuli doesn't even give the Emperor face, how could she tolerate this humiliation!

Prince Shan's rebuke of the mother and daughter was for their own good, to prevent them from bringing trouble upon themselves.
