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

Zhou Qinggong put his hands behind his back and said loudly,

"I would go to great lengths to help you with this, or I would stand idly by."

"Miss Liuli, whether I help you or not is entirely up to you."

The air seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe.

Yin Jingtang struggled to suppress the trembling in his heart, looking at Yin Liuli with a pleading expression.

"Liuli, I was wrong before, I was a bastard! I will definitely treat you and your mother well from now on."

Don't argue with your father now. Please, I'm begging you... help your father this time!

"Just this once. If you don't help, my Yin Marquis's mansion is finished!"

"What does the Marquis Yin's mansion have to do with me?"

Yin Liuli sneered and said without any politeness, "You are not worthy of the title 'father'."

Yin Jingtang felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and stood frozen in place, his vision blurring.

Fate seemed to have split the road into two paths before my eyes: one a broad highway, the other a deep ravine.

He stood at that fork in the road, about to step onto the broad road ahead, when suddenly a large hand pushed him into the abyss.

Zhou Qinggong gave a cold snort.

"Since Miss Liuli has spoken, Lord Yin, I'm afraid I cannot help you."

"No, no! Lord Zhou, please listen to me..."

Yin Jingtang jumped up as if he had risen from the dead, blocking Zhou Qinggong's way. "Lord Zhou, you are the only one in the entire court who can help me. If you don't take action, I'm doomed!"

I'm begging you, I'll agree to any conditions, no matter how much money you want! As long as you're willing to help...

"shut up!"

A flash of anger crossed Zhou Qinggong's face as he shouted, "I've lived an honest and upright life for half my life, what do you take me for? This is utterly outrageous!"

Yin Jingtang was sweating profusely and waved his hands repeatedly, saying...

"Lord Zhou, please don't be angry, I... I didn't mean that..."

Zhou Qinggong angrily flicked his sleeve.

"You better not mean that! Otherwise, I will definitely write a memorial to the Emperor accusing you of bribing a court official!"

Let me give you a piece of advice: you say you offended the Prime Minister because of your differing political views, but only you know what you did in private.

Rather than making a fool of yourself here, why not carry a bundle of thorns and go before the Emperor to beg for forgiveness? Perhaps then you might be spared!

Yin Jingtang staggered, his face filled with dejection.

If he were to go and apologize with thorns on his back, the consequences would be far more than just having his property confiscated!

It's over, it's all over now!

He had hoped to marry Yin Liuli into the princess's mansion to save the Yin family's livelihood, but even if this girl were to marry into the mansion, it probably wouldn't be what he wanted!

Originally, Yin Yuzhu was engaged and could have used this relationship to ask the Duke for help, but this girl ruined the marriage!

His last hope was Zhou Qinggong, but that too was destroyed by Yin Liuli...

Yin Liuli is trying to kill him without a proper burial!

"Yin Liuli!"

Yin Jingtang suddenly flew into a rage, looking as if he wanted to devour someone.

"You're going to ruin me, aren't you? All I did was throw you into a ravine for twelve years and never raised you!"

"So what if I neglected your mother and married another woman? Is this how you're going to hurt me?"

A sharp glint flashed in Yin Liuli's eyes.

"Don't be so arrogant, you're not worthy of my attention."

"Let me tell you, you are my child! No matter how I treat you, you still have my blood flowing in your veins!"

You are disrespectful and unfilial to your father; may you be struck by lightning!

Enraged, Yin Jingtang pointed his finger at her nose and roared, "If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you when you were born! Would you have even survived to come back alive?"

"Yin Jingtang, how could you say such a thing? Are you even human?!"

Suddenly, Zhen raised her bloodshot eyes, filled with grief and indignation.

Enraged, Yin Jingtang shoved her to the ground.

"You bitch! They're all thanks to your wonderful daughter!"

"mother!"

Yin Liuli quickly helped Zhen Shi up, a chilling glint flashing in her cold eyes. "Yin Jingtang! How dare you touch my mother!"

"What, you dare hit me?"

Yin Jingtang said viciously, "Let me tell you, you brat, a daughter who hits her father deserves to be struck by lightning!"

"May lightning strike you down!"

Yin Liuli handed Zhen Shi over to Granny Jin and raised her hand to hit her.

"Snap"

With a sharp crack, Yin Jingtang was struck hard on the face, staggered a few steps, and fell head over heels.

The air fell silent instantly.

A pebble fell to the ground.

Yin Jingtang's face was red and swollen, and he looked completely astonished.

Everyone was also full of surprise, as Yin Liuli's raised hand hadn't even come down yet.

Why doesn't she dare?

Gu Jinyan's voice suddenly came from behind.

With a wicked smirk on his handsome face, he walked straight to Yin Liuli's side.

Yin Liuli frowned. "Why are you here?"

Gu Jinyan snorted coldly, "If I hadn't come, you would have been bullied without even knowing it."

Having said that, he grabbed Yin Liuli's hand in front of everyone, a hint of doting flashing in his deep eyes.

"It's just hitting someone, you could have just told me, why did you have to do it yourself? Be careful your hands get hurt."

Yin Liuli withdrew her hand and said calmly,

"You're overthinking it. I'm not someone who would be bullied."

Yin Jingtang looked at him in a panic, "Young Master Gu, what right do you have to hit me?"

"What, can't I, this young master, hit you?"

Gu Jinyan looked down at him, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Yin Jingtang felt uneasy under the gaze of those sinister eyes and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, Young Master Gu, you've misunderstood. I was disciplining my daughter..."

Gu Jinyan snorted coldly.

"Liuli is my fiancée and future Crown Princess. Even if I were to teach her a lesson, it wouldn't be your turn."

"Lord Yin, aren't you showing a bit too little disrespect to my Princess's residence?"

Yin Jingtang was so angered that he choked on his words, and his face turned pale.

……

After Zhou Qinggong and his wife took their leave, Yin Liuli took Gu Jinyan to Fengqiwu.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the maids and servants all secretly watched the two of them.

"Is this the young master? He's so handsome, a perfect match for our young lady!"

"They're not even married yet, and the young master is already eager to see the eldest daughter..."

"Didn't you all see? Just now, the young master stood up for our young lady and even beat up the master!"

……

Yin Liuli's face darkened. After asking Gu Jinyan to sit down, she asked...

"What do you want from me in broad daylight?"

Gu Jinyan looked at her with a flippant expression.

"What, you want me to come see you tonight?"

Yin Liuli, "..."

Is that what she meant?

Why is this person always so unserious!

"Young Master Gu, please have some tea."

Madam Zhen personally brought over a bowl of tea, looking at him with a smile.

The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

Just because he stood up for Liuli earlier, Madam Zhen has wholeheartedly decided that he is her son-in-law.

Gu Jinyan quickly stood up to take it, and said seriously,

"I dare not accept the tea served by Madam herself; please have the servants do it."

"Mother, please ignore him."

Yin Liuli pulled Zhen Shi over to sit down and looked at Gu Jinyan, saying, "Speak, what exactly is it?"

A flicker of something crossed Gu Jinyan's deep eyes, and he said calmly,

"There's some money here, do you want to make a profit?"
