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

Yin Liuli glanced at it indifferently.

"Why can't I go?"

Yin Jingtang, who had been walking too fast, gasped for breath and said...

"I said no, and that means no!"

Seeing a cup of tea on the table, he didn't care about anything else and picked it up to drink.

Seeing Yin Jingtang's disheveled appearance, a hint of disdain flashed in Zhen's eyes.

Jin Mama understood Zhen Shi's expression, quickly stepped forward to take the teacup, and said in a neutral tone,

"My lord, you've just returned from outside. Be careful not to irritate your throat with the cold tea."

Yin Jingtang then realized that he had been drinking the half-bowl of tea that Zhen Shi had left over.

He had been traveling for most of the day, and his throat was as parched as a desert that hadn't seen rain in ten years.

The prime minister has contacted 70% of the court officials, listed ten charges against him, and is preparing to jointly submit a memorial to impeach him.

Yin Jingtang had no choice but to bite the bullet and visit the residences of these court officials in hopes of smoothing things over, only to be turned away countless times.

Just as he was getting anxious, he heard that the whole capital was talking about how Yin Liuli had been promoted by the Emperor to the position of Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!

The imperial edicts have all been delivered to the mansion.

Yin Jingtang's vision went black, and he almost fell off his horse.

The position of Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices is neither particularly high nor low. If it were bestowed upon any male member of the Marquis of Yin's household, it would be an extremely joyous occasion!

But giving it to Yin Liuli was clearly a way to ensure his death without a proper burial.

Because he abandoned her when she was little and neglected her mother, this girl treated her own father like an enemy as soon as she came back.

Fortunately, she will be getting married in a few days. He can tolerate her causing trouble in the mansion, but if she becomes the assistant envoy, will he still have a peaceful life in the future?

Yin Jingtang took a breath and said with a stern face,

"Why do you say that! It's one thing for a young lady from a respectable family to show her face in public to deal with some evil Taoist alchemist, but she even has to show her face in a place like the Dali Temple."

"Officially, you are a mere woman, utterly incapable of great responsibility; privately, you are to be married into the princess's household in just a few days. How will Princess Chengyi view you!"

"Snap"

A porcelain bowl shattered with a crisp sound, followed by the faint voice of Granny Jin scolding the servants, "You blind fools! You dare to break the mistress's teacup instead of holding it properly?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was indescribably jarring.

Anyone who isn't deaf can tell who this is insulting.

Yin Jingtang's face immediately darkened. He was about to explode, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back his anger.

A slight smile appeared on Yin Liuli's lips.

"Lord Yin has said so much, but is he actually blaming His Majesty for being incompetent and for making a mistake in promoting me out of turn?"

Yin Jingtang's heart skipped a beat, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

"Don't talk nonsense! His Majesty's decision is wise and decisive, how could it be wrong?"

I'm talking about you! What makes you think you're qualified to be a junior official in the Court of Imperial Sacrifices? You know nothing, how can you possibly shoulder such an important responsibility as a junior official?

A hint of mockery flashed in Yin Liuli's eyes as she said lightly,

"So, His Majesty is poor at judging people and appoints troops haphazardly, while only you, Yin Jingtang, possess the discerning eye to see through others' abilities?"

"When did I say that? You...you're misinterpreting me!"

Her words were barbed, every sentence leading him astray!

If he gets caught red-handed, he'll be dead ten or eight times over, even before the prime minister impeaches him!

A fine layer of cold sweat beaded on Yin Jingtang's forehead as he forced himself to speak.

"I am your father. What I do is all for your own good. You are just a young girl who knows some Taoist magic and divination. How could you possibly know about the treacherous and unpredictable nature of the imperial court?"

I'm not worried that you'll offend someone in the future and end up getting yourself killed!

A mocking glint flashed in Yin Liuli's eyes as she sneered.

"Lord Marquis, are you saying this to yourself? You're already in such a precarious position in the court that you're facing impeachment by a coalition of people, yet you have the audacity to lecture others. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

This statement was like stepping on the very tip of Yin Jingtang's tail!

He flew into a rage and raised his hand towards Yin Liuli.

"You brat, how dare you mock me!"

Yin Liuli flipped her fingers, and a ray of light suddenly appeared between them.

"Yin Jingtang!"

Before she could make a move, Madam Zhen pushed Yin Jingtang, causing him to stumble. She pointed a finger at his nose, her voice cold and sharp.

"If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Yin Jingtang steadied himself by holding onto the table, and glared fiercely at Zhen Shi, his anger burning.

"You dare to push me? Well, you and your daughter are getting more and more impressive."

Zhen, don't think that just because you have powerful backers I won't dare to do anything to you!

If you anger me, I'll still write you a letter of divorce and kick you out of the house. You'll be a discarded woman, and you'll never be able to hold your head high in front of anyone again!

A woman who is divorced by her husband's family for violating the seven grounds for divorce is considered to have violated traditional feminine virtues and will be ostracized and despised by the world.

Upon hearing Yin Jingtang mention divorcing his wife, a hint of mockery and disdain flashed in Zhen's beautiful eyes, and she suddenly laughed.

The voice wasn't loud, but it stirred a strange shiver in Yin Jingtang's heart.

"No need for the Marquis to divorce me, I'll divorce my husband first! Yin Jingtang, tomorrow I will petition the Emperor to divorce you!"

"Divorce me? Hah...you have quite the nerve!"

Yin Jingtang laughed disdainfully, "Zhen, who do you think you are, daring to petition the Emperor? Does the Emperor even know who you are?!"

"I can't take a break! I absolutely can't take a break!"

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady rushed in, supported by two maids, waving her hands and saying repeatedly,

"The couple is doing just fine, why are they talking about getting a divorce? It'll make them a laughing stock if outsiders hear it!"

Jingtang, quickly apologize to your wife. Tell her you misspoke in a moment of confusion and beg her not to take it to heart!

Yin Jingtang looked at her with a surprised expression.

"Mother, what did you say?"

"What did you say? I told you to apologize to your wife, so hurry up and do it!"

The old lady slapped him, exasperated, and kept giving him meaningful glances. "If I tell you to admit your mistake, then admit it. Don't make your wife angry, or even I can't save you!"

Yin Jingtang was completely dumbfounded.

Ever since they got married, his mother looked down on Zhen's low social status, only giving in because of her generous dowry.

After they got married, he never gave Zhen a kind look and would scold her every now and then.

What's going on today?

"Brother, please don't say such things!"

The second wife followed the old lady in and quickly gave Yin Jingtang a meaningful look, saying, "Your sister-in-law's current status isn't something you can just divorce her off like that!"

The third wife glanced at Yin Jingtang and said sarcastically.

"Don't even mention Xiu, brother, if you dare to lay a finger on sister-in-law, you'll be in deep trouble!"

I don't know where my brother got the confidence to talk to my sister-in-law like that.

I advise you to face reality and quickly find your sister-in-law a suitable match.

The wives of the Marquis's family have often neglected Madam Zhen in the past, so why are they all speaking up for her today?

Each person was followed by maids and servants, all carrying various brocade boxes, as if they were there to deliver congratulatory gifts.

"What's wrong with you all?"

Yin Jingtang looked at them with a strange expression, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
