"Wouldn't it be even better to open another branch in a busy area later, complementing the two?"

Manager Chen agreed repeatedly.

On the way back, Lin Yun was in a good mood, gently waving her folding fan and walking with ease.

The street vendors kept shouting their wares.

On a whim, she stopped at a sugar figurine stall and bought a butterfly sugar figurine for Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao took the sugar figurine, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Thank you, young master!"

As we were walking, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.

Lin Yun looked up and saw several young men in brocade robes surrounding a carriage, seemingly arguing with the people inside. She didn't want to get involved, but then she heard one of them shout, "A mere merchant's daughter dares to block this young master's path!"

Lin Yun frowned and quickened her pace.

Upon closer inspection, the insignia on the carriage was actually from the Xie family. Had the Xie family also come to the capital?

A boy reached out to lift the carriage curtain when a woman's panicked voice came from inside: "What are you doing!"

Without thinking twice, Lin Yun strode forward and slapped the boy's wrist with her folding fan.

The boy winced in pain, withdrew his hand, and glared angrily: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!"

Lin Yun said coldly, "Bullying a weak woman in broad daylight, is this the behavior of a young master from the capital?"

The young man was intimidated by her imposing presence and was momentarily speechless.

Another man next to her glanced at her a few times and sneered, "Just a pretty boy, what's he trying to prove? Does he even know who we are?"

Lin Yun remained unfazed: "No matter who you are, under the emperor's nose, there is a law."

Seeing that she was not afraid, the boys exchanged glances and then surrounded her.

Lin Yun gripped her folding fan tightly, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart. Just then, a sharp shout came from behind: "Stop!"

Everyone turned around and saw a group of guards escorting a man in fine clothes as he strode towards them.
