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

"Alright, get up."

The old lady gave her a disappointed look, her tone slightly reproachful.

"I know you didn't mean it, you just meant well but did something wrong."

"You seem so dignified and composed, how come you act so carelessly? How will you manage the affairs of a prefecture in the future!"

Yin Yuzhu was startled, and her heart clenched uncontrollably.

The old lady's words were tantamount to denying her ability to be the future mistress of the Duke's mansion, which was far too harsh!

Actually, the old lady wasn't very satisfied with her daughter-in-law to begin with, and she chose Yin Yuzhu to be the wife of her beloved grandson.

The daughter-in-law took the birth dates of all the noble ladies and invited a master from Yuquan Mountain to examine them. The master pointed to Yin Yuzhu's birth date and said...

"This woman's birth chart shows a strong Day Master, with wealth, officialdom, and authority all present. She is born with a phoenix-like destiny and is of inestimable nobility."

Furthermore, she possesses the auspicious sign of having many descendants, ensuring prosperity for her husband, children, and family—a truly rare find!

Only then did the old lady listen to her daughter-in-law's words and nod in agreement to the marriage proposal from the Marquis of Yin's family.

Little did she know that this sage had owed her maternal grandfather a great favor when he was down on his luck, and he only agreed to Wang's request in order to repay the Wang family.

"I am late, and I have kept my mother and all the distinguished guests waiting."

Laughter rang out, and Lady Xue, the Duchess, dressed in her finest attire and surrounded by a group of maids and servants, stepped forward to give the old lady a polite greeting, and said with a smile,

"The daughter-in-law has just greeted her mother and instructed the servants at the back door to prepare all the dishes before coming over."

Yin Liuli glanced at the Duchess, whose attire was resplendent with colorful embroidery and exuded elegance and nobility, and then rose to greet the noble ladies.

She has a noble appearance and a clever personality, and should be a person who can get along well with everyone, but she has little luck with having children.

only……

Yin Liuli caught a glimpse of a sinister aura lingering between her brows.

In those shrewd and capable eyes, two faint white lines stretched across the whites of the eyes, suggesting that they had attracted some evil spirit.

Everyone has their own karma, and she didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so she just frowned.

After bowing, Yin Liuli took the opportunity to move to sit next to Zhen Shi and watch the show with a cold eye.

The capital city is bustling and lively, but the custom of bowing to everyone you meet is a bit annoying.

Yin Liuli couldn't help but miss the time she spent at Xuanqing Temple, playing wildly with her fellow disciples all over the mountains and fields.

Madam Xue turned around and looked at Yin Yuzhu with feigned surprise.

"Oh dear, Yuzhu is crying so hard, her face is streaked with tears. What happened?"

She had already heard the servants explain what had happened, so she rushed over to smooth things over.

Yin Yuzhu was, after all, the daughter-in-law she had personally chosen.

The old lady wasn't really willing to accept it in the first place, and she and the old lady were only superficially friendly. If something went wrong, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to her?

"Madam, Yuzhu, Yuzhu knows she was wrong."

Seeing her arrive, Yin Yuzhu finally felt a little more at ease, and tears streamed down her face as if they were free.

"Yuzhu originally intended to give the old lady a longevity stone as a congratulatory gift for the new garden, to add to the festive atmosphere, but who knew she would be tricked into buying one..."

In the past, she and her mother had flattered Xue Shi relentlessly, making her smile like a beckoning flower. Now was the perfect time to use their skills!

"You're still young and inexperienced, so it's inevitable that you'll make mistakes."

Madam Xue feigned a light scolding, then said, "Poor thing, get up. The old lady, with her Buddha-like compassion, would never hold a grudge against a child like you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Madam. Thank you, Madam."

Yin Yuzhu stood up, sobbing, and gave Yin Liuli a sharp, piercing look as she turned around.

Yin Liuli ignored her and continued eating her snacks while whispering to Zhen Shi.

Suddenly, two unfriendly gazes swept across his face.

Madam Xue chuckled softly and deliberately stepped forward, saying,

"Mother, whose young lady is this? She's so beautiful!"

With a hint of hostility in her tone, Yin Liuli frowned slightly without showing any emotion.

"Isn't this Yuzhu's eldest sister, the eldest daughter of the Yin Marquis's family, Liuli?"

The old lady looked at Yin Liuli, and couldn't help but smile with her kind face.

"It was she who saw through the fact that the Shoushan stone was an evil object and saved my life!"

I did ask her a few questions, and it turns out this girl knows some Taoist arts and numerology; she's quite capable.

Yin Liuli stood up to greet him, and said in a rather indifferent tone,

"Greetings, Madam."

A cold smile flashed across Madam Xue's elegant and dignified face as she spoke, her words a veiled sarcasm.

"What kind of magic is so powerful that it scared your sister Yuzhu so much that her face turned white?"

"It's strange, isn't it? Young ladies in ordinary mansions rarely leave their homes. Where did Miss Liuli learn such remarkable skills?"

"Madam, you flatter me. I know a little bit."

Yin Liuli said in a lukewarm tone.

Don't mess with me!

Yin Yuzhu curled her lips into a cold smile and stepped forward to instigate,

"Madam, you may not know this, but my eldest sister was sent to a Taoist temple outside the city for education from a young age, and she did indeed learn a lot of skills before returning."

"Since it's rare to see Madam, why not have my eldest sister perform for everyone, so that Madam can see what's so special about her?"

She just made a fool of herself, is this some kind of revenge, to make fun of her like a monkey?

Yin Liuli shot her a sharp glare: Don't mess with me either!

As if she had discussed it with her beforehand, Madam Xue clapped her hands and laughed.

"That's wonderful! I've never seen a young lady who knows all those strange and wonderful things!"

The old lady frowned and spoke up to stop her.

"What's so interesting about this? You didn't see how scary it was just now!"

But Yin Yuzhu's instigation had an effect, and everyone echoed her sentiments.

"What kind of magic does Miss Liuli know? I've heard that Taoists are good at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, it's terrifying!"

"Those wandering fortune tellers on the street, their signs all say they can read faces and tell fortunes, predict good and bad horoscopes... Miss Liuli knows these things too?"

"Those charlatans are all second-rate; surely Miss Liuli wouldn't know anything about them?"

……

"What a coincidence, my eldest sister knows all of these things. I wonder where she learned them?"

A smug, cold smile flashed across Yin Yuzhu's face, where the tears had not yet dried.

She wanted to mislead everyone into thinking that he was some kind of shady, low-class sorcerer!

Among the various social classes, itinerant sorcerers were considered the lowest and most despised, and everyone looked down on them.

Yin Liuli, you made me lose face so badly just now, and you won't get away with it now!

"Really?"

Madam Xue and Yin Yuzhu echoed each other, raising their eyebrows arrogantly, "The Marquis's mansion is, after all, a prestigious family in the capital. How can a young lady from a secluded family learn such unorthodox methods from those people of all walks of life? Wouldn't she also become a low-class person?"

"That's not how it is! Madam Xue, how can you equate my daughter with those charlatans?"

Mrs. Zhen stood up agitatedly to defend her daughter, "My daughter isn't that kind of person!"

"Why are you in such a hurry, Madam Zhen? I'm just offering a friendly reminder. It wouldn't be good if a young lady's reputation were damaged."

Madam Xue gave her a lukewarm look, then suddenly feigned surprise, "Oh, right, I just remembered... it's been over ten years since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

Zhen's face turned pale instantly.

"I've heard that Madam Zhen dislikes being in the public eye and prefers to live a quiet life?"

Madam Xue smiled maliciously and said sarcastically, "I remember that it's always Madam Wang who's in charge of visiting your household. What brings you here today to grace us with your presence and join in the fun?"
