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

Princess Chengyi, who had been crying so hard her rouge was smeared, chuckled at his antics, gritted her teeth, and gently poked his forehead.

"You! I don't know what I owed you in my past life, but you've come here to collect a debt from your mother!"

Perhaps it's because His Majesty the Emperor planned to choose me for a marriage exchange, and he deliberately wanted his son to kill the princess who was the leader of the Tartars!

To subdue the enemy without fighting is brilliant!

Gu Jinyan muttered something to himself, but didn't dare say it aloud.

After appeasing his mother, he felt frustrated and made an excuse to go to the Duke's mansion to find Fang Zhengyun to relax.

As soon as he came out, he vented his anger on the snow, riding his horse through the streets to relieve his frustration.

Everyone in the capital knew he was a spoiled young master, so such outrageous behavior was nothing new to them.

Passing by the silk shop favored by Princess Chengyi, the shop assistant stopped his horse and said that the shop had just received two bolts of the finest Yun brocade.

Gu Jinyan dragged Fang Zhengyun to pick out fabrics to buy back and make his mother happy.

"Brother Yan, I heard that the young lady you were arranged to marry is the daughter of the Marquis of Yin's family who was lost for many years and was only recently found."

Fang Zhengyun said gossipily, "I just don't know what his character and appearance are like..."

A hint of sadness flashed across Gu Jinyan's handsome face as he casually tossed the cloth to the waiter.

"Whatever she does, she can't get through it anyway... Oh well, let her fend for herself."

Fang Zhengyun sighed, "Brother Yan, you're getting married soon. You should rein in your old arrogant and unruly ways."

"I won't accept it! I'll do whatever I want, so what?"

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow arrogantly.

Fang Zhengyun was considered to have restrained himself from being unruly.

He was naturally flamboyant, and rumors circulated that he was a good-for-nothing who indulged in drinking, gambling, whoring, and all sorts of evil deeds—a typical dissolute playboy!

They thought that this would deter any family from marrying their daughters into the princess's household, but they never expected that there would be seven who were not afraid of death.

……

Over here, Madam Zhen led Yin Liuli in.

"Liuli, this is the best silk shop in the capital. See if they have any fabrics you like."

"They're all so beautiful!"

Yin Liuli glanced at the fabrics displayed on the counter, and her eyes suddenly caught sight of a piece of brocade in the shop assistant's hand. She quickly said, "Mother, do you think that one is pretty?"

"This is Nanjing brocade from Jiangnan, how could it not be beautiful?"

Madam Zhen nodded with a smile, and beckoned the waiter over to say...

"Please show us this... Liuli, look, this fabric is brilliantly colored, like clouds and rosy hues. The materials used are also very exquisite, and the brocade pattern is woven so delicately that it's a rare find."

The color suits you too; it would look amazing to make a dress out of it! Excellent, excellent, Mom loves this fabric from the bottom of her heart!

Yin Liuli found it smooth and soft, and its color was also very fresh and elegant, so she quite liked it.

"Let's take this one, I think it looks pretty good! Waiter, we'll have this one."

"Of course it looks good, Miss!"

Granny Jin smiled and said, "This is Yun brocade. As the saying goes, an inch of gold is worth an inch of brocade. It would take three weavers two or three months of working day and night to make just this one bolt of fabric..."

"Shopkeeper, I want both of these bolts of fabric."

Before the words were finished, a clear voice, tinged with a hint of languor, rang out.

Gu Jinyan stepped out from behind the screen and casually tossed a bag of silver over, saying, "Send this to the Princess's residence."

My mother loved the brocade woven in Jiangnan the most; it was luxurious and exquisite, and she usually wore clothes made of this material.

He doesn't even need to pick and choose; buying her something will definitely make her happy.

"Yes, young master!"

The waiter nodded and bowed in agreement, then hurriedly reached for the fabric.

"Snap"

Yin Liuli slammed down on the fabric, her large, almond-shaped eyes widening suddenly. "What are you doing? I said I'd buy this fabric!"

"Ah? I'm sorry, miss, I didn't quite catch which one of you spoke first..."

The waiter was sweating nervously.

"You think you can just buy it like that?"

Gu Jinyan glanced at her disdainfully and said contemptuously, "No one has ever dared to take what I want from me!"

It's him?

I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and now you're trying to steal my things!

Yin Liuli recognized him at a glance as the man who had been riding wildly and committing murder. A cold smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Waiter, I'll take this piece of fabric. Wrap it up for me!"

"Oh ho, you actually dare to try and steal it from me?"

Gu Jinyan arrogantly raised his chin. "Little girl, do you even know who I am?"

"Who? Just a pathetic, short-lived wretch!"

Yin Liuli casually scoffed.

This person's face does indeed have an extremely noble appearance, but upon closer inspection, one can see several wisps of fierce, menacing aura emanating from him.

If one is not in the prime of life with abundant Yang energy, and is protected by noble qualities that prevent evil influences from penetrating the body, one will not live past the age of thirty.

"What did you say?!"

Gu Jinyan's eyes, which had been filled with disdain, flashed with a cold glint. He stepped forward, his handsome face almost touching Yin Liuli's, and his voice suddenly turned icy, "You brat, you dare to curse me?"

"Do I even need to curse him?"

Yin Liuli snorted disdainfully and sneered, "You've had lives on your hands, you must know that yourself, why do I have to tell you?"

The sound was soft; only the two of them could hear it.

But Gu Jinyan felt a jolt in his heart, like an earthquake.

Who exactly is this girl?

Does she know something about this?

will not!

He was secretly ordered by the emperor to investigate treason and held the power of life and death in his hands, but he always acted cautiously and meticulously, confident that he had never made a mistake!

She could even tell that this person wanted to investigate!

"Liuli is just a piece of cloth, we don't want it."

Hearing this from the side, Madam Zhen was horrified, fearing that her daughter had offended this wicked person, so she quickly pulled her away, saying, "Come with me to see something else."

Before Yin Liuli could speak, Gu Jinyan steadied himself, his face regaining its usual flippant expression, and raised an eyebrow, saying...

"It's just a piece of brocade. If you want it, just say so. Why do you have to curse me?"

"If you piss me off, you'll regret it! You're not bad looking, how about I give you a kiss, and I'll let you have this brocade..."

"Snap"

Before he could finish speaking, he received a resounding slap across the face.

"You brat, you dare hit me?"

Gu Jinyan unexpectedly raised his hand to touch his face, and a flash of anger immediately crossed his handsome face.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Which eye of yours saw me lay a hand on you?"

Yin Liuli raised her hands, looking completely innocent.

"Waaaah... Master, was that slap loud enough?"

Waaaa, brandishing her long sword, shoved it into someone's ear and boasted triumphantly, "If that's not enough, there's more!"

Yin Liuli was speechless, thinking to herself,

"Not bad. Next time, don't act without my orders!"

"Oh dear... Master, he's flirting with you!"

"Wow!" she said defiantly.

"How can I hit you if you hit me already?"

Yin Liuli clicked her tongue inwardly, "A slap is only satisfying when you do it yourself!"

"Who is it!"

Gu Jinyan looked at her in disbelief, a hint of doubt flashing in his gloomy eyes.
