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

Yin Liuli said casually,

"Don't be afraid. I temporarily opened your third eye so you could see who is harming you. I've closed it now."

Although ghostly energy is sinister, seeing it once in a while won't have any effect on a mortal.

"I'm afraid? Me, a dignified person... would I be afraid?"

Gu Jinyan was both angry and amused. He pointed to his nose with an exaggerated expression.

I wasn't afraid before, but seeing something so eerie for the first time still made me a little uneasy.

Yin Liuli said irritably,

"Whatever you want. But let me give you one more piece of advice: even though you have noble qualities protecting you, you can't withstand these powerful evil spirits. Stay away from those messy things in the future."

Gu Jinyan's beautifully curved lips pursed slightly.

"Thank you... May I ask why you helped me, young lady?"

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow disdainfully.

"For no reason, I just can't stand that thing taking advantage of your weakened state when you've exhausted your inner strength. Even as a ghost, it's so shameless."

Moreover, I'm only helping you out because you acted bravely, saved someone, and were in a difficult situation.

I wouldn't bother with anyone else.

Alright, enough said, you're keeping me from eating roast duck!

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Feed..."

Gu Jinyan puffed out his chest and shouted at her retreating figure.

"Miss, are you sure you're not only helping me because I'm handsome, dashing, and charming...?"

Yin Liuli's body swayed twice.

"roll!"

A smug look immediately appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face. He raised his hand and made a strange gesture, summoning the hidden guards who were lurking around him.

"master."

The bodyguards, dressed in ordinary merchant attire, soon appeared.

Gu Jinyan's eyes followed Yin Liuli's figure until she disappeared, then he gave a meaningful instruction.

"Go check."

……

"Liuli, are you... are you alright?"

When her daughter returned, Madam Zhen couldn't wait to grab her and examine her from head to toe.

She was standing right behind that mad bull; what if she got kicked in the backside?

"Mom, look, I'm perfectly fine!"

Yin Liuli playfully stuck out her tongue, grabbed a piece of roast duck wrap and stuffed it into her mouth, saying indistinctly, "A mad bull can't hurt me, Mother, you can rest assured!"

Madam Zhen nodded with a worried expression. "Although... you should still be careful, so as not to worry your mother."

"Young lady, you have no idea, Madam almost tore her handkerchief to shreds when she saw you standing behind the cow's rear end!"

Wiping away her cold sweat, Granny Jin's eyes darted around, and she suddenly asked with a gossipy look,

"Just now, this old servant spotted from afar that lecherous fellow we met at the silk shop, and he was practically begging to speak to the young lady for a few words..."

Whose son is he anyway? He's good-looking and has a good demeanor, but he seems rather presumptuous.

"Cough cough..."

Yin Liuli rolled her eyes, choking back a sob, and said with a look of disgust, "Who cares who he is? It's none of my business!"

Madam Zhen patted her head, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"Many of the sons of officials in the capital are indeed from wealthy and powerful families, and there are some reckless and ill-behaved ones among them. It's best to ignore them, Liuli."

Yin Liuli nodded obediently, "I know, Mother."

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, they took their belongings and returned home.

As soon as they entered the courtyard of Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree, Yin Jingtang waved to the mother and daughter from afar.

"Madam, Liuli, come here quickly..."

Zhen's smiling face turned cold, and she ignored her, pulling Yin Liuli straight back to her room.

Yin Jingtang awkwardly twitched his lips, and had no choice but to shamelessly follow him into the house.

"Didn't Madam say she wanted to set up a small kitchen so she could make hot soup and rice whenever she wanted?"

I've been keeping this in mind, so as soon as court was over, I ordered someone to renovate the old ones.

Two more skilled cooks have been hired for Madam's use... Madam, would you like to come and take a look?

Without a word, Zhen picked up the unfinished needlework from the table and began embroidering with her head down.

That face, nearing forty, now lightly rouged, with exquisitely beautiful features, a pair of red lips slightly pursed, and long eyelashes trembling slightly, exuded a charm that only grew more captivating with age, making Yin Jingtang's heart itch with an indescribable longing.

In contrast, Wang, whom he had doted on for over a decade, now lay on the bed, disheveled and half-dead, her face deathly pale.

Her former charm and allure have vanished completely; she looks like a ghost.

Seeing Zhen's indifferent attitude, he felt no anger at all.

Instead, he felt an even stronger urge to get closer to her and tease her into saying a few words to him.

Just like when they were newlyweds, if he did something that displeased Zhen, she would ignore him in the same way.

He deliberately went up to her and pestered her relentlessly until she blushed and softened, which was quite a unique experience.

"My lady, I just finished court and haven't even had a sip of tea yet..."

Yin Jingtang couldn't help but move closer.

Madam Zhen subtly avoided him and said calmly.

"Liuli, you just said you wanted some chrysanthemum tea, so I'll go make some for you right away."

Yin Jingtang's demeanor disgusted her.

He embodied every conceivable flaw of male nature!

"Yes, yes, we have some high-quality Hangzhou white chrysanthemum at home, and we drink some often."

Yin Jingtang looked at Yin Liuli awkwardly and said with a forced smile,

"Liuli, your father doesn't know what kind of food you like to eat, so how about..."

"May I ask, when you returned from court, did you hear about Wang's actions in harming my mother?"

Yin Liuli slowly raised her eyes, looking at him with a half-smile, "What are your plans, Lord Marquis?"

"Uh... your grandfather told me."

Yin Jingtang's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to say, "Liuli, I really didn't know she was that kind of treacherous and vicious woman before. I was completely deceived by her for so many years!"

If I had known, I would have divorced her long ago to avenge your mother!

Yin Liuli sneered.

"If Your Excellency isn't making any plans, don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands?"

Yin Jingtang pursed his lips and hesitated before speaking.

"Don't worry, your father will definitely divorce her and avenge your mother!"

I just want to discuss something with you all; there's a difficult matter right now...

Your younger sister, Yuzhu, is engaged to the Duke's family and will be marrying them in a year.

If she divorces her mother at this point, her marriage will be over once people find out!

"Father begs you to be lenient and give that wicked woman another year. Once Yuzhu gets married, Father will definitely kick her out!"

"hehe……"

Yin Liuli parted her red lips slightly and let out a cold laugh.

Yin Jingtang's scalp tingled, and he quickly said in a seemingly polite but actually annoyed tone,

"In that case, Father will divorce her now, but for the sake of Yuzhu's reputation, we will not divorce her for the time being."

Send her to an estate outside the capital to be raised, and we'll deal with her later when Yuzhu grows up.

Yin Liuli scoffed lightly.

I expected this to happen.

Just as she was about to retort, she heard Granny Jin come in and say,

"Young lady, someone has sent an invitation, saying that you are invited to a banquet."

"Who invited me?"

Yin Liuli was a little surprised, and beckoned with her finger, "Let me see it."

"Granny, whose household sent this?"

Yin Jingtang was also surprised.

His daughter has only been back in Beijing for a few days, and she knows only a few people, yet someone has already invited her to a banquet.
