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

In the chaos, a nanny said anxiously,

"Madam, your legs are still paralyzed, how can you go out to receive the imperial decree?"

The air fell silent, and everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

Are we supposed to carry the old lady out to receive the imperial decree?

With her disheveled appearance, wouldn't she become the laughing stock of the entire capital?

The old lady's face turned pale, and she pointed at the door and shouted.

"What are you all standing there for? Quick, go and call that brat back and tell her to untie me!"

"Madam, the eunuch delivering the imperial decree is waiting; it's too late!"

"

The second wife hesitated before stepping forward to persuade him, "I think it would be better to have someone carry you to her place than to make such a round trip... It's not good to keep the messenger father-in-law waiting."

The old lady gritted her teeth.

"Then let's go!"

……

Yin Liuli and Madam Zhen changed their clothes and were about to go out when they saw the old lady sitting slumped in the sedan chair with a dark face, rushing over surrounded by people.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Young lady! Sister-in-law!"

The second wife quickly stepped forward and whispered...

"Are you going out to receive the imperial decree? The old lady is still paralyzed. It's a small matter if you make a fool of yourself by going out like this, but if the eunuch delivering the decree thinks that our Marquis Yin's mansion is disrespectful, the Emperor will probably blame you."

Yin Liuli glanced at the old lady indifferently and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, Second Aunt, His Majesty won't blame us."

The second wife had no choice but to plead in a gentle and kind voice.

"The old lady came in person, so she's already given in, hasn't she? She's probably just too ashamed to say it herself, so she sent me to plead with the young lady on her behalf..."

"For your second aunt's sake, please don't be angry, young lady."

"Yes, young lady, the old lady knows she was wrong. Please be lenient with her."

The fourth wife, urged by the old lady to step forward and speak up, forced a smile and said...

"The palace people are waiting outside. It wouldn't be good if they saw our household in such a mess, wouldn't you say, young lady?"

Yin Liuli snorted.

"She knows she's wrong? I don't see it."

The second wife sensed a hint of reassurance in her words and quickly said,

"The old lady truly knows she was wrong! If the eldest daughter doesn't believe it, what can you do to appease her? Your second aunt will speak for you."

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly. "If she really knows she was wrong, she should come and apologize to my mother."

"What?"

The fourth wife was taken aback, speechless with astonishment, and said, "You want the old lady to apologize to your mother? What kind of behavior is this! She is right no matter what..."

Before she could finish speaking, the second wife quickly stopped her with a look and said with a forced smile,

"The old lady came to apologize to my sister-in-law! Eldest daughter, wait here, your second aunt will go and tell the old lady right away."

After saying that, she grabbed the fourth wife and left in a flash.

"She wants me to apologize to that bitch? That's wishful thinking!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady turned ashen with anger. "Who am I? Who is she? She deserves an apology!"

She was born into a prestigious family and had a privileged status since childhood.

My father was a high-ranking official of the third rank in the imperial court, and he also had an older brother who worked in the Ministry of Personnel.

The Zhen family was just an insignificant minor official family. If it weren't for the fact that she had a generous dowry, how could the old lady have allowed her son to marry her!

"At a time when things are extremely urgent, why is the old lady still bringing this up?"

The second wife hurriedly advised, "Her fourth aunt and I had to coax her into agreeing after much persuasion. If you keep making a scene like this, we really won't be able to do anything about it!"

"No matter how noble your status is, you were still crippled by someone."

"If you're not going to apologize to Sister-in-law Zhen, then crawl out to receive the imperial decree!"

The fourth wife said with a stern face, "No matter what I say to my second sister-in-law, we can't do anything about it!"

The old lady's face turned ashen.

The maidservant hurriedly ran over to urge them on.

"Madam, the eunuch outside sent me in to ask when we can go out to receive the imperial decree."

My father-in-law said he had other important matters to attend to and couldn't afford to be delayed.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and her face immediately darkened.

Yin Liuli crossed her arms and watched as the sedan chair carried the old lady to her.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have pressured you like that."

I was only thinking of Jingtang, and I acted rashly in a moment of panic..."

The old lady gritted her teeth, her face ashen, and said, "I apologize to you. Please don't take it to heart, considering my old age."

Madam Zhen lowered her eyes. "Mother, you're too kind."

The old lady struggled to speak,

"You...you should have Liuli untie my legs! If I don't leave now, it will be a grave offense!"

Zhen looked at Yin Liuli.

"If this happens again, I'd rather lose these two legs."

Yin Liuli gave a light hum, and with a flick of her fingers, a beam of light shot from between her fingers onto the old lady's leg.

She took Zhen's arm and walked indifferently past the old lady's sedan chair.

The old lady felt her legs loosen up, as if they had been freed from their restraints, and she was able to move immediately.

Her resentful gaze swept over Zhen's retreating figure, her eyes blazing with hatred!

Bitch,

You think you're worthy of an apology from an old lady like me?

You only dare to act so smug in front of me because you're relying on that brat!

Let's see how long you can be so smug!

……

Many passersby had already gathered at the gate of the Marquis Yin's mansion, curiously peering inside.

"That must be a eunuch from the palace, right? I heard he's here to deliver an imperial edict!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen an imperial edict!"

"What good news has the Marquis Yin's residence made that they need to announce it to everyone in front of the imperial decree?"

……

The old lady walked ahead, hurriedly leading the ladies and young misses from each household out the gate, her powdered face beaming with smiles.

"How has Your Majesty been? May I ask what decree His Majesty has issued...?"

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree glanced at her indifferently, without even a smile on his face, and kept looking into the crowd.

"Where is Miss Yin? I haven't seen her."

The old lady's smile froze instantly.

"An imperial edict for her? Didn't His Majesty just summon that girl...?"

The eunuch delivering the decree waved his hand, his shrill voice carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"The old lady decides who to summon; it's all the Emperor's decree anyway."

Yin Liuli pulled Zhen Shi out of the crowd, stepped forward, and bowed,

"Liuli greets you, Eunuch."

"Miss Yin, you're too kind."

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree put on a smiling face and looked at Madam Zhen, "This is Madam Zhen. This old servant congratulates you on your success!"

Zhen, who had been keeping her head down, showed a flash of surprise when she heard the question directed at her.

"Me? What do I have to be happy about..."

"Father-in-law, are you mistaken? She's just a...woman, what decree could the Emperor possibly grant her?"

The old lady stepped forward with a look of surprise and asked.

The wives' expressions varied, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"Does His Majesty know about Sister-in-law Zhen?"

"She never even leaves her house, what kind of imperial decree could she possibly receive?"

"Who knows..."

……

"Alright, now that everyone is here, kneel down and receive the imperial decree."

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree cleared his throat, took the decree from the tray held by the young eunuch, and slowly unfurled it.

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."

Lady Zhen, wife of Yin Jingtang of the Yin Marquis's Mansion, is of pure and kind nature, diligent and frugal, and has raised her children well, which greatly pleases me.

The Emperor decreed that Lady Zhen be granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, and be granted the official robes and hat of a First-Rank Imperial Lady, as a sign of imperial favor. So be it!

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the Yin Marquis's mansion felt as if a thunderbolt had struck them, and their faces were filled with shock.
