Xia's mother pointed at Li Youran and snorted coldly.
“I may come from a humble family, but I still have some manners. Unlike Madam Xia, who barged into someone’s home without announcing herself. Not only that, she ignored the host and sat in the main seat as soon as she entered.”
Li Youran crossed her arms in front of her chest, looked at Xia's mother with the same disgusted expression, and continued.
"I wonder what kind of family Madam Xia comes from. Her upbringing is truly different from other places!"
"Smooth-talking!"
Unable to continue after Li Youran's sarcastic remarks, Xia's mother turned and left.
"Madam, it's dark and the road is slippery. Be careful not to slip and fall flat on your face."
Li Youran deliberately spoke loudly towards the door.
Madam Xia was already feeling very angry, and after hearing Li Youran's words, she became even angrier, her heart aching. With the help of her servants, she hurriedly got into the carriage.
"I never expected Li Youran to have such an identity."
With the help of her maid, Zhao Lanshan removed her jewelry piece by piece, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and muttered to herself.
"Could she end up with Liu Zhiyuan...?"
Zhao Lanshan originally thought that even if Liu Zhiyuan canceled the engagement, the Liu family would not agree to Li Youran marrying into the Liu family, after all, Li Youran's status was lowly.
But things are different now. Li Youran has transformed into the younger sister of the Second Prince's wife. If the Liu family can marry Li Youran, they will be doing well.
"Miss, why think so much? The wedding is just around the corner, you should get some rest."
After hearing the maid's words, Zhao Lanshan shook her head, gave a bitter smile, and remained silent.
Her marriage was arranged a few days after she arrived in the capital; her fiancé was Hu Shiyang, the illegitimate son of the Prime Minister's family.
Given her status and position, it was a great honor for her to marry Hu Shihai, the third son of the prime minister's family, who was born out of wedlock.
Hu Shihai treated Zhao Lanshan well. Although the two were not yet married, he privately gave her a lot of jewelry, which made Zhao Lanshan somewhat tempted.
But thinking of Liu Zhiyuan still makes me feel a little sad, after all, he was someone I almost got engaged to.
Because of the family reunion banquet, Li Youran's experiment was delayed for two days, so she got up early this morning to start the experiment.
Li Youran had already noticed that most of the wine here was yellow wine with a very low alcohol content, which explained why the ancients drank from large bowls.
She had long harbored the idea of purifying alcohol in her mind.
Producing high-proof spirits is not only for drinking, but also for medical disinfection and many other purposes, which is a good thing for the country and its people.
Since he was already there, Li Youran decided to make the best of it and do some good deeds while making money.
However, not long after the experiment began, Li Youran discovered that many things, though seemingly simple, were actually difficult to do.
For example, the distillation process presents many challenges, requiring not only ensuring a sealed environment but also controlling the heat.
Li Youran had been busy all day and reeked of alcohol, but all she got was a bowl of wine with an alcohol content of about 30 degrees.
Although it wasn't quite what she had expected, she had still gained something. Li Youran, holding the bowl of wine, hurriedly got into the carriage to find Yun Yingying.
"Miss Li, you've arrived. I'll go inform our young lady right away."
Li Youran held the food box and nodded with a smile.
She had visited the Yun family many times before, even though she had a very good relationship with Yun Yingying, and Yun Yingying had greeted the doorkeeper before.
But the doorman didn't take her seriously, regarding her as just a errand boy, and his attitude was lukewarm.
However, ever since it was made public that she was the younger sister of the Second Prince's wife, she has been warmly received wherever she goes.
Li Youran couldn't help but sigh that in this society with its strict hierarchical system, it was indeed much easier to get things done if one had a high social status.
"I was unaware of Miss Li's arrival today. I have failed to greet you properly and have offended you greatly."
As Old Master Ren was about to bow, Li Youran, unable to bear Old Master Yun's gesture, hurriedly helped him up.
"Master Yun, you are too kind."
This was simply too polite. You Ran never expected that Old Master Yun would lead the entire Yun family to the front door and even offer to give Li You Ran her luggage. This terrified Li You Ran.
She hurriedly looked into the crowd and saw Yun Yingying standing in the second row behind the old man. She then hurriedly released the signal for the ball.
Yun Yingying suppressed a laugh and told the truth that she also felt that her grandfather's work group was a bit too exaggerated.
"Miss Li, please come in and have a seat."
As Yun Yingying spoke, she subtly helped Li Youran up and then gave him a wink.
"Mr. Yun, I have come here today to see Miss Yun. There are some things we need to discuss."
Li Youran gripped Yun Yingying's hand tightly, as if she had found a savior.
If she were really asked to accompany Grandpa Yun to talk about those things related to children and the universe, she wouldn't be able to sit still.
Grandpa Yun didn't insist, after all, she was a young girl, and he, an old man, didn't know how to entertain her.
So he smiled and saw Li Youran and Yun Yingying off, and then instructed the servants to treat them well, sending them many rare fruits and snacks.
"Yingying, have you been drinking alcohol?"
He's known as "the one who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
As Yun Yingying spoke, she revealed a bright smile.
Have you ever been bothered by constantly needing to use the restroom because you drank too much?
"You Ran, have you concocted a miraculous elixir that can make people never need to go to the toilet?"
Yun Yingying was very excited, but Li Youran rolled her eyes.
