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

"Your Majesty's grace is boundless, Envoy Yin! Why don't you quickly kowtow and express your gratitude?"

The old man beside the emperor smiled and flattered, "This old servant has lived for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen a female envoy!"

In other words, our Emperor's wise and decisive actions, his unconventional and meritocratic approach to selecting the best, will surely lead to an even more prosperous and powerful nation!

"This humble woman thanks you for your kindness."

Yin Liuli kowtowed, a smile appearing on her porcelain-white face.

It wasn't because I was happy to be an official.

Before she went down the mountain, her master repeatedly told her to do more good deeds and accumulate blessings, because the more blessings she had, the more hope she had of surviving the heavenly tribulation.

Going to Dali Temple to investigate cases can save lives and accumulate good karma for oneself, which is not bad.

If she had enough good fortune, she might not have needed to marry Gu Jinyan and use his Seven Killings Fate to overcome her tribulation!

Seeing her innocent smile, a complex emotion flashed in Gu Jinyan's eyes.

He knew, of course, that with Yin Liuli around, he would be even more powerful.

But the battle with Wuyazi that day still lingers in his mind, those cases are unpredictable and bizarre, what if he encounters even more powerful sorcerers or magicians...

Gu Jinyan dared not think too much about it.

Personally speaking, he would rather Yin Liuli do nothing and just marry her and be his princess consort in peace!

……

Upon exiting the side hall, Yin Liuli noticed a hint of melancholy lingering between Gu Jinyan's brows and couldn't help but ask,

"We'll be colleagues from now on, why aren't you happy?"

Yin Liuli was unaware of the perilous situation, but the Emperor's mind was made up. All he could do was to be extremely careful and protect Yin Liuli from now on!

"No... why would I be unhappy?"

Gu Jinyan instantly reverted to his usual flippant manner, glancing at her with a raised eyebrow. "So concerned about me? What? Want me to marry you quickly?"

Yin Liuli raised a finger and scoffed at him.

"Is your skin itchy again?"

Gu Jinyan pretended to block it, then sighed with a "resentful" expression.

"I was just thinking, you're already so fierce, and now that the Emperor is promoting you, will I have any good days after I marry you?"

"Who are you calling fierce!"

Yin Liuli's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she lightly spat out a "Pah!" and said, "Who wants to marry you?"

……

The imperial decree arrived later than expected. Upon returning to her residence, Yin Liuli couldn't wait to tell her mother the good news.

"Mother! Mother!"

She ran excitedly into the Phoenix Perch Wutong Tree, her clear, melodious voice calling out from afar, "Where is everyone?"

Yin Ju quickly came forward, a hint of worry on her usually stern face.

"Miss, Madam has been summoned by Old Madam Yin. We tried to stop her, but she refused."

However, A-Zhu and Granny Jin followed and waited outside the courtyard.

Yin Liuli frowned.

"The old lady despises my mother the most, why would she ask her to do anything!"

She didn't have time to take off her gorgeous clothes and jewelry; she quickly lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed to the old lady's courtyard to ask for someone.

The old lady's courtyard gate was tightly closed, and two servants were guarding outside.

When Granny Jin and Azhu saw her, they quickly came to greet her, their faces tense and uneasy.

"Young lady, the madam has been summoned in by the old madam for quite some time now, and we don't know what they were saying!"

"They're blocking us from going in! Without Miss's orders, Ah Zhu doesn't dare to barge in!"

"Whatever they say, it's definitely not something good!"

Yin Liuli said coldly, "Granny Jin, Azhu, come in with me and demand our release!"

"This humble servant greets Miss."

The gatekeeper stopped them at the door, smiling warily as he spoke.

"I wonder what brings you here, Miss? The old lady has instructed that no one be seen today."

Yin Liuli said coldly, "Get out of the way."

The servant stood in the doorway, his eyes darting around, and said...

"I...I was just following the old lady's orders, Miss, please don't make things difficult for me..."

"Our lady said move aside, are you deaf!"

Before she finished speaking, Yin Mei and Yin Lan stepped forward, grabbed the two servants by the collars, and threw them aside with two thuds.

Yin Mei stepped forward and pushed the door open, only to find it bolted from the inside. She turned her head and said,

"Miss……"

Yin Liuli's eyes narrowed, and she ordered without any politeness, "Kick it away."

Yin Mei raised her foot and kicked the door hard, sending the vermilion door flying with a loud bang.

Yin Liuli stepped through the red gate and strode inside!

The maids and servants in the courtyard were all shocked.

Coming to her senses, the crowd rushed forward in a panic to stop her.

"This is the old lady's courtyard! Miss, why did you kick down the door?"

"Young Miss, the Old Madam instructed you not to go in!"

"What are your orders? This servant will inform the old lady for you..."

……

Yin Liuli shoved the maidservant aside, her voice cold and sharp, "Get out of my way!"

Without waiting for instructions, Yin Mei and the others rushed in front of her, pushing aside the surging crowd to make way for Yin Liuli.

As they approached, they could hear voices coming from the old lady's room.

"Mrs. Zhen, I've tried everything to be nice to you, but you're taking advantage of my kindness?"

"Sister-in-law, when has our matriarch ever begged anyone like this? How can you be so ungrateful!"

"Yes, sister-in-law, in the end, it's all for my brother's good! Instead of helping your husband, you're trying to harm him. What kind of person are you?"

……

Amidst the harsh and sarcastic remarks, Zhen Shi's suppressed sobs could be heard.

"Madam, I can't... I'll listen to whatever decision Liuli makes, but I'll only listen to my daughter!"

Yin Liuli understood. These people had made such a big fuss because they wanted her mother to persuade her to help Yin Jingtang get off the hook!

"Bang!"

Yin Liuli kicked open the door and saw the old lady with her eyebrows furrowed and her face ashen, berating her.

"Are you trying to be rude? Do you want to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"

You think I won't dare touch you just because that brat is backing you up?

"Zhen, don't forget you're a daughter-in-law of the Yin family. Do you think you can escape the laws and regulations of the Yin family?"

Overcome with hatred, she grabbed a teacup and smashed it hard against Zhen's face.

"Say something! Have I gotten too big for your britches?!"

"stop!"

Yin Liuli shouted angrily, and with a flick of her finger, she accurately struck the teacup with a beam of spiritual light.

"Splash!"

The teacup shattered and broke into pieces all over the floor.

Zhen knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly.

The moment I saw her, tears welled up again on her tear-filled face.

Everyone stood up in surprise, looking at each other with a hint of nervousness on their faces.

"Young lady...you, what brings you here?"

The third wife, concealing the panic on her face, stepped forward with a fake smile, blocking her view.

"Didn't you go to the palace? I heard the Emperor bestowed honors upon you, but he didn't... didn't he give you dinner?"

"Yes, yes, I thought His Majesty was going to host a banquet for you, so the old lady called everyone from each household to keep her company..."

"Speak? Or torture?"

Yin Liuli gave her a cold look. "Get out of my way!"

The third wife panicked for a moment and stammered, "Um... Miss, please don't misunderstand. My sister-in-law had a few words with the old lady just now, which angered her, and that's why..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Mei had already pushed her away from Yin Liuli, her face cold and stern.

"Our lady said, move aside!"
