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

A punishment talisman was cast.

"Yes, I'll go and bang my head against the wall."

The other one was completely dumbfounded. Before he could react, everything went black. He ran to the wall and started banging his head against it repeatedly, muttering to himself.

"I'll bang my head against the wall, I'll bang my head against the wall... I'm also being instructed by Madam Wang to make things difficult for my master, and I suffer every day because of her. I deserve to be punished!"

Mrs. Zhen was completely stunned. "When...when will this collision end?"

She knew her daughter was studying Taoist arts at Xuanqing Temple, but she hadn't paid much attention to it.

But aren't those mysterious and profound spells only known to old Taoist priests with an air of otherworldly wisdom?

Her daughter is only fifteen years old!

Fortunately, my daughter learned some skills and came back. Otherwise, if she had stepped into the Yin Marquis's mansion, a place full of wolves and tigers, she would have been skinned alive and torn to pieces long ago!

"The talisman will be deactivated in no more than an hour."

The courtyard was desolate enough, but upon entering the room, Yin Liuli's heart clenched even more, and a pang of heartache welled up in her eyes. "Mother, have you only stayed here with the master all these years?"

The paint on the corner wall was peeling off, the furniture was simple and old, and there was a wooden bed with a curtain hanging on it, with thin bedding.

The table was set with crude teacups, and the teapot was empty of even a drop of hot water, a testament to their dire circumstances.

Yin Liuli took a deep breath.

This is hardly the place where the wife of a nobleman should live. Even a maid with a modicum of respect wouldn't live in such a squalor!

Mother could actually make a better living for herself, but over the years she has entrusted someone to send all the money she has saved to Xuanqing Temple.

Before descending the mountain, her master gave her a silver note of one thousand taels and a lot of loose silver. Only then did Yin Liuli realize that her mother had been worried about her not eating or living well all these years and had given her all the silver.

Fortunately, she was loved by her master. Although Xuanqing Temple was a small, dilapidated old Taoist temple in a remote mountain village, her master never used the money her mother gave her!

"Mother, you've suffered so much all these years."

With reddened eyes, Zhen Shi, the proprietress of the house, said in a slightly choked voice, "Liuli will never let Mother suffer again, never!"

"I'm not suffering. When I think of you, I don't feel bitter at all."

Madam Zhen gently stroked her head, scolding her with heartache, "Liuli, you shouldn't have agreed. That Prince Gu has a terrible reputation, and he... he... it's all my fault, I've dragged you down."

"Mother did not burden Liuli..."

Yin Liuli wiped away her tears and was about to say something when a faint, almost imperceptible, murderous aura flashed in the corner of her eye. It trailed a ribbon-like tail and coiled around Zhen Shi.

No wonder I felt something was off as soon as I entered the room.

The moment she saw her mother, she noticed a hint of black malevolent energy between her brows, but she didn't have time to remove it at the time.

Yin Liuli's eyes sharpened.

"Liuli..."

Seeing the frightening look in her daughter's eyes, Madam Zhen nervously called out to her.

"Mother, don't move."

Yin Liuli gave a word of advice, placed one hand on Zhen's shoulder, and raised her hand to draw a spirit-repelling talisman in the air above her forehead.

The malevolent energy coiled around Zhen Shi like a snake, spiraling upwards. Just as it was about to touch her brow, it trembled as if electrocuted and tried to pull back.

"Trying to leave?"

Yin Liuli raised a talisman in her hand and pinched it with three fingers as if she were grabbing a snake.

The thing seemed to come alive, writhing and twisting desperately in her hand, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what she did.

Following the direction from which the evil energy came, Yin Liuli walked to the bedside and reached under the bed to search. Soon, she dug out a black cloth bag from under the Kun position of the bed.

She released her grip, and the murderous aura instantly retreated into the cloth bag.

Mrs. Zhen stared in surprise at the object she had dug out from under her bed. "What is this?"

"Mother, your illness is not only caused by worry, but mostly by this thing."

Yin Liuli slowly opened the bag, and a yellowish-white bone the size of a copper coin came into view. A dense aura of illness swirled around the bone.

"Buried in the Kun position, which belongs to Earth and represents the mother or matriarch, the evil energy invading the Kun palace harms the intestines and spleen. Does the mother have a disordered spleen and stomach, and often have difficulty swallowing?"

Madam Zhen nodded. "Yes, that's how it is."

Yin Liuli pressed on with a stern face, "After moving in, Yin Jingtang completely ignored you, disregarding even the last shred of affection between husband and wife?"

Zhen's eyes suddenly reddened, and she bit her lower lip, saying...

"He... just like you, has long considered me dead."

Yin Liuli coldly said, "The Kun Palace is afflicted by evil, and the marriage is doomed."

Zhen gasped, exclaiming, "Liuli, what kind of evil thing is this?"

"Dead bones!"

Yin Liuli frowned deeply. "This thing is a bone that was pried off from the corpse of a person who died of illness. The soul-binding technique was used to absorb the evil spirits of the deceased into it. It is extremely sinister."

Fortunately, the person who performed the spell did not have enough magical power; otherwise, the living person would have been corrupted by the evil energy and died suddenly within three months!

"Mother, you've been tricked."

"Who, who wants to harm me? All these years I've lived in this cold palace-like place, never fighting with anyone for anything, isn't that enough!"

All I wanted was to see my daughter again someday, but why did they insist on my death!

Zhen's face turned pale instantly, and she felt a chill creeping up her back like ants.

She raised her hand to cover her throbbing chest, barely able to stand.

"Mother, you think you've endured enough, but in that person's eyes, your very existence is wrong!"

A cold glint flashed in Yin Liuli's bright eyes as she sneered, "Whoever it is, let her pray for her own good fortune!"

After saying that, she raised her hand and drew a "Spirit Enhancement Talisman" in the air in her palm. As she circulated her thoughts, the talisman transformed into a beam of light that flashed across her palm.

Suddenly, several gusts of cold wind rose from the ground, swirling and penetrating into the bones of the dead.

The small human bone visibly turned black, and the swirling Yin energy surged tenfold.

"Imperial decree..."

Yin Liuli drew a "backlash talisman" in mid-air on the remains, and shouted, "Go!"

"Splash..."

The window sash rose on its own without any wind, flapping a few times, and the tables and chairs hummed.

"Ruri, what... what's going on?"

Although Zhen couldn't see the malevolent energy, she was still so frightened by the scene before her that her legs went weak.

"Mother, don't be afraid. I've placed a backlash talisman. Mo Gu will go after the person who handled it and punish them tenfold."

Yin Liuli helped her sit down and sneered, "This is called giving him a taste of his own medicine. Let's see if he's tough enough..."

"By the way, where are your servants? Weren't there a nanny and a maid? Where are they?"

Madam Zhen clutched her chest, her face full of surprise, then shook her head with a wry smile.

"Granny Jin is still being punished in the servants' quarters; it's all my fault that she's been implicated..."

Two days ago, I was sick and wanted some hot soup, so she went to the kitchen and managed to get me a bowl. But that very night, she was arrested by Wang's men.

They say... they said they stole valuables from the kitchen and almost sold them.

As for Chunliu, she's obsessed with climbing the social ladder and becoming a concubine; let her be.

Chunliu was a maidservant who had been taken in by her side after she entered the mansion. In the past two years, she had grown older and her mind had become more active. On the surface, she was still serving in this courtyard, but in reality, she had long since secretly pledged her allegiance to Wang Shi.

She even boasted to others that the lady was going to betroth her to the fourth young master of Uncle Yin's family as a concubine.

Having become a concubine in a wealthy family, she was practically a mistress, and she was very proud of herself, devoting herself wholeheartedly to serving Wang Shi.

Yin Liuli frowned unconsciously.

"Chunliu is someone who serves Mother. Mother didn't say she was to be released. It's up to Wang Shi to assign her."

"Call both of them back, Granny Jin! Those who deserve rewards, reward them; those who deserve to be sold, sell them!"

Madam Zhen shook her head slightly, her face full of worry, and said...

"Liuli, you've just returned, please don't cause yourself any trouble..."

Yin Liuli smiled and said, "Mother, they are the ones who should be in trouble."

Before he finished speaking, the area outside the courtyard suddenly became lively.

The courtyard was near the servants' quarters, and the maids and servants could be heard chattering about it.

"Oh no! Oh no! Granny Sun, who serves Madam Wang, has suddenly died, bleeding from all seven orifices. It's terrifying!"

"Granny Sun? No way, she's very strong, and she just gave that courtyard servant a good scolding."

"What happened? How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly die?"

"I don't know. I heard that Granny Sun was serving Madam Wang when she suddenly collapsed to the ground. Madam Wang was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted. The front yard is busy calling for a doctor!"
