"These gifts are far too valuable. The old lady values ​​them highly, but how could I possibly accept them?"

Madam Zhen quickly declined, saying, "Absolutely not."

The old nanny said with a flattering look, "Our old lady has recognized Miss Liuli as her granddaughter, so you are half her daughter. How can a mother not accept things from her own daughter?"

"Isn't that right, Miss Ruri?"

"If Madam refuses again, this old servant will have no way to explain to the old lady when I go back."

Yin Liuli wasn't particularly interested in these luxurious pieces of jewelry, and simply smiled and said...

"Grandmother is kind to Liuli, and Liuli remembers it in her heart."

After the two maids took turns urging her, Madam Zhen could no longer refuse and could only smile and say...

"Please convey my and Liuli's thanks to the two matrons..."

Before he could finish speaking, a maid came in to report that Lady Xue from the Duke's mansion had sent someone to deliver gifts.

Various sizes of brocade boxes, chests, and fabrics were delivered.

After finally seeing off the gift-givers, the room was so full that there wasn't even room to step.

"In this capital, everyone is eager to send gifts to the old lady of the Duke's mansion, yet they're sending their gifts to our family!"

Granny Jin's face lit up with a smile as she looked at these things.

"After this incident, everyone will know that our young lady has gained the old lady's powerful backing."

"Madam, your future is truly blessed!"

Madam Zhen also had a joyful expression, but her voice suddenly trembled slightly.

"It's not about things; I know I'm weak-willed and can't provide my daughter with support. Instead, I have to rely on her."

Now that the old lady is backing Liuli up, I feel at ease...

"Mother, what are you saying?"

Yin Liuli held her hand and said with a smile, "Mother will always be Liuli's greatest support!"

Two streams of tears flowed down Zhen's face. "Silly child..."

"Liuli, you've gone too far!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Jingtang stormed in, his face contorted with rage, and launched into a tirade of insults.

"Was it you who smashed the jade bead like that? Are you even human?!"

Upon entering, she saw the room piled high with brocade boxes and bolts of cloth sent by the Duke's mansion, and Zhen's face beamed with joy.

In contrast, the Zhulan Courtyard was deathly still. Yin Yuzhu lay half-dead on the bed groaning, while Wang Shi cried and made a scene. No one in the room dared to utter a sound.

He became even angrier.

How wonderful it would be if these gifts were sent to Zhulan Academy!

He won't get a single thing from what's sent to Feng Qiwu!

"What right do you have to insult my daughter!"

Madam Zhen stood up and blocked Yin Liuli's path, angrily rebuking, "When Yin Yuzhu harmed my daughter, did you speak up for her?!"

Yin Jingtang pointed at Yin Liuli.

"Yu Zhu harmed her? It's Yin Liuli who knows all the Taoist arts; she can make others suffer with just a wave of her hand. What ability does Yu Zhu have to harm her!"

When he came back, his head was spinning.

Yin Yuzhu had more than a dozen or twenty shocking whip marks on her body. Even if the wounds healed, her body would still be disfigured!

Wang dragged him along, crying and making a scene, and filed a complaint, insisting that he go and demand an explanation.

Although Yin Jingtang was furious, he did not want to offend Yin Liuli easily, so he could only comfort Wang Shi first.

To his surprise, the Duke's mansion sent a letter announcing the annulment of the engagement right afterward, which made him so angry he almost jumped up!

Isn't this ruining his future?

The Yin family had finally managed to secure a marriage with the Duke's mansion, and he was hoping that with the Duke as a powerful backer, he could make a name for himself in the imperial court!

"What kind of good thing do you think your daughter is!"

Despite Yin Jingtang's furious expression, Zhen Shi showed no fear and shouted, "She colluded with evil sects to poison Liuli, almost killing my daughter!"

Even if Liuli killed her, she deserved it. Let me tell you, I only regret that I couldn't kill her with my own hands!

Yin Jingtang never expected that the usually meek Zhen would dare to lose her temper with him, and immediately flew into a rage.

"How dare you speak to me like that!"

Before he could finish speaking, a cold, sharp glare swept across his face.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

In his anger, he forgot that the Zhen family had Yin Liuli backing them up and were no longer the pushovers they used to be!

"How my mother speaks to you is up to her."

Yin Liuli walked up to Yin Jingtang, staring at him coldly, "Lord Yin, if you have any grievances, tell me."

"No, no, Father was just confused from anger."

Yin Jingtang's imposing aura immediately softened by half, and he forced himself to speak.

"But Liuli, you've gone too far! No matter what Yuzhu is like, she's still your sister!"

"You're all from the same lineage. I wouldn't even question if you scolded her a few times, but how could you lay a hand on her?"

Yin Liuli found him really funny.

"You mean it's okay for her to kill me, but I can't even hit her?"

Lord Yin's words are truly eye-opening!

"It's not that you can't hit her, but if you beat her so badly that she's covered in bruises and disfigured, how will she ever get married?"

Yin Jingtang said with a livid face, "Do you know that the Duke's mansion has sent a letter of annulment? Yuzhu's marriage is ruined, Liuli, you're trying to kill her!"

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You've misunderstood. I didn't mean to hurt her. I just wanted to kill her."

Unfortunately, the Duchess pleaded for her.

"Did the old lady plead for her?"

Yin Jingtang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "I heard from the servants that the old lady of the Duke's household has recognized you as her goddaughter. Is that true?"

Zhen's voice was icy. "Whether it's true or not, what's it to you?"

Yin Jingtang, with his hands clasped behind his back, said with a displeased expression,

"How can it not be related? Don't forget that Liuli is also my daughter!"

You all say I'm biased towards Yuzhu, but look at her, has she ever called me "father" since she came back?

Yin Liuli sneered, "I'm afraid you can't handle it."

Zhen said bitterly, "You're not worthy!"

Yin Jingtang's face darkened as he spoke.

"Forget it, I know you're upset, I won't hold it against you."

But Yu Zhu's marriage was ultimately ruined by Liu Li. She had already hit and scolded her, so she should have calmed down by now.

How could such a good marriage for Yuzhu be ruined like this?

Yin Liuli sensed the hidden meaning in his words, crossed her arms, and sneered, "Lord Yin, please speak plainly."

Yin Jingtang hurriedly said,

"The fact that the old lady of the Duke's family can adopt a goddaughter must mean that she really likes Liuli. This is a great blessing!"

"Tomorrow, Liuli should go and plead with the old lady... just say that Yuzhu's matter is a misunderstanding, nothing more than a quarrel between you sisters, and at least get the old lady to take back the annulment letter."

Yin Liuli almost burst out laughing.

"Me? Go to the old lady to speak well of Yin Yuzhu? Lord Yin, are you sure you haven't lost your mind?"

Yin Jingtang glared at her, "How dare you speak to your father like that! Liuli, you ruined her marriage, you ruined her life!"

Furthermore, Yuzhu's marriage to the Duke's mansion is related to the future of our Yin family. If the engagement is broken off, who will respect our Yin family in the future?

Yin Liuli scoffed lightly, "Dream on."

Zhen sneered.

"Yin Jingtang, don't put on such nice words. What about the future situation of the Yin family? Aren't you just thinking about your own future?"

"Also, go ask Yin Yuzhu what shameful things she's done. She ruined herself. What does that have to do with my daughter?"

With that, she flicked her sleeve forcefully. "I'm tired. There's nothing else. Please leave!"
