As a woman of action, Nan Wusi got up early the next day, ready to go out and check out her family's shops. She hadn't really gone shopping properly since she arrived.

However, preparing for going out had exhausted her. She discovered that the original owner of this body hardly owned any dresses, and the styles were limited, consisting of only a few variations. It seemed that due to being ridiculed for so long, the original owner had lost confidence in dresses.

After trying on many dresses, Nan Wusi finally settled on a light blue embroidered gold-flecked silk satin robe that looked decent, which she bought from the system shop, and paired it with a light green pleated skirt with daffodil flowers.

Ye Zi then styled her hair into a chic gourd bun, adorned it with a small silver hairpin inlaid with pearls, paired it with a pair of silver gourd earrings, and finished the look with embroidered boots with a dark blue sole.

After finishing her makeup, most of the morning had already passed. Nan Wusi sighed that, whether in ancient or modern times, it was indeed extremely difficult for girls to go out.

Ye Zi brought a paper umbrella to shield herself from the sun, even though Nan Wusi had never used one before.

Nan Wusi originally wanted to invite the little fat boy along, but after sending someone to inquire, the reply came that Nan Wusi had made an appointment with a friend today and had already left. Therefore, Nan Wusi could only take Ye Zi and slowly walk out onto the street.

The busiest street in the capital city was lined with all sorts of stalls and vendors selling all kinds of things, and Nan Wusi took the opportunity to appreciate the ancient "commercial street".

Nan Wusi and Ye Zi strolled around, buying everything they could find, from delicious food to fun toys. They chatted and laughed, thoroughly enjoying themselves. However, it would have been even better if they could have ignored the strange looks from passersby.

"Miss in front, please wait a moment." A male voice sounded behind Nan Wusi.

Although unsure if he was calling her, Nan Wusi turned around anyway. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw the man who had called her change his expression instantly. His smile turned into terror in an instant, and then he turned and ran away, as if she were some kind of man-eating demon.

"Miss, how could this person be like this?" Ye Zi said indignantly from the side.

"Heh." Nan Wusi never expected that he would play the role of a "back view killer" for once.

"Hahahaha." A woman's arrogant laughter came from not far away. As she spoke, she laughed, "Jiang Li, did you see that? It's hilarious. Haha."

Nan Wusi turned towards the direction of the female voice and found Ouyang Jiangli standing there with a woman she didn't recognize.

Today, Ouyang Jiangli was dressed in a pomegranate red silk brocade robe with wine-red patterns on the wide skirt. Her simple hair was adorned with a gold and jade hairpin. Her skin was as white as snow, and her smiling face made her shine brightly in the crowd.

The woman standing next to her, laughing arrogantly, was also of superior appearance, but she was inferior in terms of clothing, demeanor, and overall presence.

Nan Wusi coldly stared at the girl and slowly walked towards them. Her fierce appearance greatly increased the sense of oppression.

The girl's laughter abruptly stopped, as if she had been grabbed by the neck like a duck.

"Miss Ouyang," Nan Wusi greeted coldly, ignoring the other person. No one could greet someone so warmly in this situation after being mocked.

“Miss Nan, we were rude.” Ouyang Jiangli nodded slightly, appearing very well-mannered.

"Hey, Nan Wusi, what do you mean by only greeting Jiang Li?" the girl asked arrogantly.

"Who are you? Do I know you?" Nan Wusi replied coldly. She hadn't seen this girl at the palace banquet last time, so she guessed she wasn't a legitimate daughter.

"You." The girl glared at her.

“This is Miss Li Lanru, the second daughter of Grand Tutor Li,” Ouyang Jiangli added from the side.

"How dare a mere concubine's daughter call me by my name and act like a madwoman in the street? I've seen firsthand the upbringing of the Grand Tutor's family." Nan Wusi retorted directly.

"You ugly hag, how dare you talk to me like that!" Although Li Lanru was an illegitimate daughter, she had been pampered since childhood, which fostered her willful and capricious personality. She became furious when she heard someone mocking her.

"So what if I say something to you? What can you do about it?" Nan Wusi rolled his eyes.

"Lanru, it was indeed our fault before. It's understandable that Miss Nan was rude. Please don't be angry." Ouyang Jiangli stopped Li Lanru with a wronged expression.

Nan Wusi really wanted to applaud after hearing this, but Ouyang Jiangli openly stopped her, though her words implied that Nan Wusi was petty and narrow-minded. Coupled with a pitiful expression, she made it seem as if she were the victim.

The two standing together were a stark contrast, one fair-skinned and the other dark-skinned, one beautiful and the other ugly; the difference was considerable. Nan Wusi's appearance was already fierce, and his reputation was not good, otherwise he wouldn't have earned the nickname "Yaksha." Compared to Ouyang Jiangli's aggrieved expression, anyone who saw him would think that Nan Wusi was the one bullying him.

As expected, the uninformed onlookers on the roadside began to discuss the matter animatedly. Some commented on the two men's appearances, some said that the Yaksha was bullying someone again, and some even wanted to stand up for him. Although Nan Wusi was famous and the people of the capital dared not speak out against him, if people's gazes could kill, Nan Wusi would probably have been executed by slow slicing long ago.

"As expected of the female lead's halo, I'll endure it!" Nan Wusi silently comforted herself in her heart.

"Stay away from the male and female leads, and you'll be happy all year round." To remain a carefree person, Nan Wusi still felt that forbearance was the best policy and she shouldn't have a direct conflict with the female lead. So she turned around and left briskly.

Her reaction surprised Ouyang Jiangli. She didn't expect that Nan Wusi, who usually explodes at the slightest provocation, could actually endure being ridiculed in the street today. It was really strange.

Meanwhile, in a private room on the third floor of Chunfeng Tower, not far away.
