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

A sense of foreboding flashed through Gu Jinyan's mind, and he quickly stopped her.

"Mother, we can talk about this later. Let me help you back..."

"Yan'er!"

Cheng Yi shoved him away, her voice icy cold.

"Are you going to protect her like this, without even letting your mother speak to her?"

"Of course I can say it, but not now."

Gu Jinyan gave a light hum, then picked her up in his arms without a word, saying, "Your subject will escort Mother back to the Princess's residence to rest!"

Cheng Yi's face, which had just regained some color, instantly turned pale with anger, and she said sharply,

"Yan'er! This female envoy is only engaged to you; she's not your future wife yet!"

Her own son, whom she cherished like the apple of her eye, actually defied her for a woman whose origins were unclear!

The feeling of heartache and resentment is like watching a good cabbage you raised with your own hands being eaten by a pig!

How could Cheng Yi, who was always proud and arrogant, stand it?

(Yin Liuli: You mean, I'm the one who caused this?)

(Gu Jinyan: Is it possible that I'm the pig?)

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The Empress knew her daughter's temper and wanted to say a few words of advice, but seeing her daughter's angry face, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

The old lady glanced at Cheng Yi, then at Yin Liuli, and pretended to drink her tea.

Let the children handle their own affairs; the sooner they figure things out, the sooner they'll be at peace.

"I must get to the bottom of this with her today! Yan'er, you wouldn't dare disobey your mother for her sake, would you?"

Princess Chengyi said fiercely, "I'm asking you, if I and she both fell into the lake at the same time, who would you save!"

With the age-old problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law falling into the water laid out before them, everyone's attention was focused on Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan raised an eyelid and said calmly,

"I want them all!"

Princess Chengyi was both angry and amused. "Good! I've truly raised a filial and good son!"

"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for her. What do you have to say?"

Yin Liuli glanced at Gu Jinyan with her clear eyes, and smiled faintly, "Gu Jinyan, thank you for your kindness."

"I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

Cheng Yi, exasperated, gave her good-for-nothing son a light punch and said coldly,

"When I went to pick lotus flowers on behalf of the Empress Dowager, did the female attendant know beforehand that there would be danger in the water?"

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath.

His mother has always been the type who refuses to suffer any loss.

In her eyes, apart from the Emperor and the Empress, she was above all others, and everyone should unconditionally respect her.

Yin Liuli knew there was danger in the lake, but this touched a nerve with her.

Yin Liuli nodded and said frankly,

"I know, but I don't know exactly what kind of danger it is."

Cheng Yi's face hardened.

"How dare you! You still want me to go!"

Yin Liuli calmly replied, "Your Highness is mistaken. It was your own choice to go; what does it have to do with me?"

Princess Chengyi pointed at her, gritting her teeth, and said...

"I asked you if you were in danger, and what did you say?!"

Yin Liuli said casually, "I said if you want to go, then go. What's wrong?"

Princess Chengyi's face darkened, and she was furious.

"You knew I was in danger but did not stop me, causing me to suffer pain that ordinary people cannot endure, and I almost lost my life!"

"All I did was doubt your lineage and say you weren't good enough for my Yan'er, and you're already trying to take revenge and kill me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone felt uneasy for Yin Liuli.

Murdering the princess is a serious crime.

Madam Zhen was shocked and quickly stepped in front of Yin Liuli, nervously trying to explain.

"No, that's not it, Your Highness must have misunderstood..."

"Get away!"

Cheng Yi, his face ashen, roared, "Zhen Shi, is this the good daughter you raised!"

"Why are you yelling at me? Mother, ignore her!"

Yin Liuli pulled Zhen Shi to her side, coldly looking at Cheng Yi, "Your Highness's face changes so quickly. I just removed the evil poison from you, and you, like a vicious dog, turn around and bite me?"

Cheng Yi's face turned ashen. "How dare you! You call me a dog?"

"Besides being presumptuous, does Your Highness say anything else?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Yin Liuli's lips as she approached step by step.

"Was His Highness asking me a question, or was he arrogantly mocking me, a person of unknown identity? Why should I stop him?"

If I try to stop you, you'll just scoff and dismiss my words. Would you really listen to me?

Cheng Yi pursed her lips tightly after being rebuked, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute her.

Yin Liuli's slender figure stood before her, her aura icy and imposing.

"Do you know that if it weren't for my maternal grandmother and the Empress, even if you knelt at my feet and begged and cried, I wouldn't have saved you?"

The reason you are in excruciating pain from being bitten by a snake is not because of me, but because of your own arrogance!

Now you're taking your anger out on me? By what right?!

The air seemed to freeze.

Princess Chengyi felt a shiver run through her as she was stared at by those sharp eyes, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Good! What a quick-witted girl!"

The Empress could no longer bear to watch and spoke up.

"Yi'er, this is your fault. It has nothing to do with the female envoy. Haven't you caused enough trouble? Go back to your residence and rest!"

"Yes, Mother."

Princess Chengyi swallowed her anger and glared fiercely at Yin Liuli.

"Yin Liuli, I can't argue with you, but you can forget about marrying Yan'er and becoming the Crown Prince's wife!"

"I would rather send Yan'er to marry into the Tartar tribe than let someone like you set foot in my princess's residence!"

She is the eldest princess born to the current emperor and empress!

She has been pampered since childhood, and no one has ever dared to treat her like this before!

She was used to controlling everything, influencing the joys and sorrows of those around her, and even their lives were in her hands.

Yin Liuli is not someone who can be controlled at all!

On the contrary, she can control others with ease!

Cheng Yi would never let such a person marry her son, otherwise, how could she live in the future?

The entire princess's residence will belong to Yin Liuli!

Gu Jinyan's handsome face darkened.

"Mother, what did you say?!"

"Come back to the mansion with me!"

Cheng Yi didn't give him a chance to speak, grabbing his wrist and scolding him.

"Yan'er, if you still consider me your mother, then don't disobey me anymore! Come back to the manor with your mother!"

"Mother! Mother! I won't go to the Tartar tribe for a political marriage; I want to marry Liuli!"

Gu Jinyan shrank back with a resentful look, crying out in a spoiled manner, "Grandmother, Grand Aunt, please help your son!"

Princess Chengyi was spoiled from a young age, but he was not spoiled by his princess mother.

When Gu Jinyan couldn't win an argument with his mother, he would resort to acting spoiled and unreasonable, leaving her with no choice.

"Alright, stop fooling around! This is the palace, not your princess's residence where you can be so unruly!"

"Yan'er, listen to your mother, go back with her first!"

The Empress and the Duchess were both angry and amused by the mother and son.

Knowing what kind of people the mother and son were, they could only exchange a speechless glance; there was nothing they could do.

"etc!"

Amidst the lively scene, Yin Liuli suddenly called out softly.
