Boss Ling glanced at Wen Nan, clearly hesitant.

Boss Ling's family is just a family that makes a living by telling stories; they have no power or influence. Naturally, they don't want to offend anyone for anyone's sake.

"Boss Ling, as we agreed, I'll pay you the deposit first." Wen Nan seemed afraid that Boss Ling would change his mind.

This place is in a bustling area of ​​the city. We've looked around Wennan, and this is the only place available for rent right outside the door.

She took out ten taels of silver from her pocket, one tael as deposit and one tael as payment, and placed it in front of Boss Ling.

"I'll rent this place." Wen Nuan smiled faintly, waving her hand in what she considered an elegant gesture. Her personal maidservant then took out twenty taels of silver from her pocket.

Warmth offered double the price.

The maidservant who was serving him closely behind him had an arrogant expression, practically looking down her nose at Wen Nan.

“My young lady said she has rented this shop.” Chunhe’s expression was exactly the same as her young lady’s; she looked at Wen Nan with an arrogant gaze.

"Mr. Ling, my young lady is from the Wen family. Do you dare not rent to her?" Chunhe spoke arrogantly, looking at Mr. Ling with haughty eyes.

The Wen family is now the most prominent merchant family in Jiangnan, with abundant resources at their disposal. Ordinary merchants dare not easily offend the Wen family.

Boss Ling was already hesitant. He just wanted to make a living and run his family business, and he didn't want to get involved in this...trouble.

Boss Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He looked at Wen Nan with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, but... she's a member of the Wen family." Boss Ling apologized profusely. But nowadays in Jiangnan, every business has to rely on the Wen family's influence.

Unless he doesn't want to work anymore.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare offend even a mere concubine's daughter from the Wen family.

He was just an ordinary person.

Wen Nuan raised her head. "Now that my sister has left the Wen family, she's actually showing her face everywhere. Running a shop... Tsk tsk tsk, the once arrogant young lady of the Wen family has really become a village girl who doesn't know where her next meal will come from."

Wen Nuan covered her lips with a handkerchief, her bright eyes scrutinizing Wen Nan, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

The group of sisters around them burst into laughter.

"Look at this shabby attire. Sister, I heard she married a scholar, oh, not a scholar who married into the family."

Although he was a scholar.

But he's lame... so he probably... can't earn money to support his sister.

Wen Nan frowned.

When Wen Nuan saw Wen Nan's furrowed brows, her joy was palpable.

What she hated most was Wen Nan, whose status as the legitimate son oppressed her.

But now things are different; Wen Nan can no longer be considered a daughter of the Wen family.

She was just a pitiful village girl. Warmly, she raised her head and covered her lips with a fine silk handkerchief.

"Poor sister, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, she's really starving now..."

Mr. Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead. He never expected that simply renting out the stall in front of the door would lead to such strange things.

Boss Ling only regretted that he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today.

"Alright, I've rented this shop, sister. Please go back now..." Wen Nuan humiliated Wen Nan in front of everyone, and she was in a very good mood.

A group of people stood in the middle of the road, and many passersby couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.

Some people even stood on the roadside watching the spectacle.

Wen Nan's cold gaze fell on Wen Nuan. "Doesn't your hand hurt anymore?"

So she wanted to find a different place to hurt?

A cold sweat broke out on Wen Nuan's back; she would have almost forgotten if Wen Nan hadn't mentioned it.

The last time Wen Nan took Wenzhou City, he broke her wrist.

Fortunately, I went to the clinic in time.

Wen Nuan gritted her teeth and said, "Wen Nan, who are you threatening?"

Wen Nuan's friends were somewhat bewildered by her sudden change of expression.

But sisters tearing each other apart is a real spectacle, and they definitely won't miss it.

Wen Nuan was very proud and naturally wouldn't publicize the fact that Wen Nan had broken her hand a while ago.

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, will you still think you're the young lady of the Wen family?" Wen Nuan said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

She ordered the maids beside her to teach Wen Nan a lesson.

But Wen Nan stood there, and not a single maid dared to step forward.

For no other reason than... Wen Nan has already laid a hand on Wen Nuan more than once.

Wasn't that time when warmth took a heavy toll on his health?

If Wen Nan is so powerful, wouldn't all the maids who go up there be just sending themselves to their deaths?

Chunhe was also a little scared.

The mockery was just that—mockery. But if it really came down to a fight… I'm afraid those few weak women wouldn't stand a chance against Wen Nan.

"Get up there, all of you!" Wen Nuan shouted anxiously, stamping her foot. The hair ornament on her hair swayed back and forth with Wen Nuan's exaggerated movements.

A cold smile appeared on Wen Nan's lips. She didn't have time to waste with Wen Nuan anymore.

The fist tightened.

Wennan hasn't done anything yet.

"Clap clap clap." A woman wearing a silver-white brocade robe, her long black hair half-up and half-down, with a jade hairpin inserted in her hair.

"What a show!" The woman clapped her hands as she walked out of the crowd. Her voice was bright, like the warm sunshine in winter.

Many of the people in the surrounding area stopped and asked why.

Many people started watching the spectacle.

"So this is the illegitimate daughter of the Wen family? What a big face she has." The woman clapped her hands, her phoenix eyes glaring at Wen Nuan.

Warmth suddenly felt a chill.

The woman looked warm, yet inexplicably harbored a hint of hostility.

"Everyone, be the judge. It was this Miss Wen Nan who rented the shop first, and the shop owner agreed to it..."

The woman raised an eyebrow at Wen Nan, looking as if they were old acquaintances meeting.

Wen Nan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Who is this woman?

"People say that blood relatives are the closest of kin, but this second young lady... how come she is so different from others?"

"They stole my sister's shop and humiliated her. I never imagined that something like this could happen in broad daylight."

"It's simply... immoral." The woman in the fine clothes spoke words that were full of defense for Wen Nan.

Wen Nan was completely baffled, and so was Wen Nuan.

Does this woman know who she is?

Wen Nuan had never met this person before; she was probably just a daughter from a humble family.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!

So what if she's an illegitimate daughter? She's still several levels above the legitimate daughters of other families from humble backgrounds!

What Wen Nuan hates most is when others mention her status as an illegitimate daughter.

"Do you know who I am? I am a member of the Wen family!" Wen Nuan looked at the elegantly dressed woman in front of her with an arrogant expression.

Li Chuyi chuckled.

"So what if it's the Wen family? Even if the head of the Wen family were here, I would still say something."

“You bullying dog who relies on his power…” Li Chuyi blurted out.

The maid behind her tugged at Li Chuyi's wide sleeve.

Li Chuyi forced the dog thing that was already on the tip of her tongue to be swallowed.

It has been changed.

"...Um, who do you think you are?"
