"Sister, it's all my brother-in-law's fault. We've met before, but I didn't think of it that way, and we just missed our chance..."
After several rounds of drinks, the Second Prince, though not drunk, became more talkative. He shook his head and sighed as he spoke to Li Youran.
"Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Don't even mention that you and I wouldn't recognize each other when we meet, even if my sister and I were face to face, we wouldn't recognize each other."
Li Youran didn't eat much of her food, but she ate handfuls of dog food.
The Second Prince kept serving food to Shangguan Wenwan and taking care of her. He also extended his hospitality to this little sister he had never met before, showing her great enthusiasm.
Seeing Shangguan Wenwan living such a happy life, Li Youran felt relieved.
She originally thought that marrying the powerful Second Prince would bring Shangguan Wenwan a lot of troubles.
But seeing how loving the couple was, Li Youran was filled with emotion. Who says there is no love in the royal family?
"Sister, what are your thoughts on the family reunion banquet?"
Shangguan Wenwan tentatively spoke to Li Youran.
"After all, people of different status will behave differently when dealing with matters in the capital. If they knew you were my own sister, they would naturally treat you with more respect, saving us a lot of trouble."
If someone else had said that, Li Youran would have felt that the other person was implying that she had benefited from her.
However, Li Youran did not agree with Shangguan Wenwan's statement. She believed that only her own sister would confide in her and say such things.
Take the first point of contention between the two sisters, the family reunion banquet, for example.
Even though Shangguan Wenwan knew that the family reunion banquet would bring many benefits to Li Youran, she would not make the decision on her own without Li Youran's consent.
This touched Li Youran deeply, because Shangguan Wenwan genuinely considered things from her perspective.
"Let's do as my sister says."
Li Youran nodded and smiled.
After the Second Prince left, Xiang Wenwan held Li Youran's hand and whispered something to her.
"Although you have been married before, you are still a woman. In addition, given your noble status, remarrying will not be difficult. Your sister will carefully and diligently choose a good husband for you, and will not let you make a mistake."
After learning about Li Youran's past, Shangguan Wenwan shed tears. She vowed to find a good home for her sister and prevent her from suffering the same hardships again.
"Sister, let's put these things aside for now! Right now, I don't want to think about these things; I just want to focus on doing a good job with the business."
Li Youran didn't think that Guan Wenwan's words were just empty talk. If she were really arranged to go on several blind dates, she would probably be so embarrassed that she would die on the spot. So Li Youran hurriedly refused.
"Don't rush into business matters. With your brother-in-law around, even if you want to become a royal merchant, it won't be a problem. The most important thing right now is your marriage."
Li Youran felt ashamed. Just a moment ago, she was praising her sister for respecting her wishes, but in the blink of an eye, the topic of marriage had turned into a point of no return.
“My sister and I have just recognized each other, and I don’t want to get married so soon. I want to stay by my sister’s side for a few more years.”
Upon hearing Li Youran's words, Shangguan Wenwan felt a pang of sadness and almost burst into tears. She hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Alright, there's no rush for the marriage. I'll keep an eye out for you for now, and we'll talk about it later."
Seeing that Shangguan Wenwan finally relented, Li Youran breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the Second Prince's residence, Li Youran began to have a headache again. After thinking it over, she finally decided to have the army drive the carriage directly to the pancake shop.
It was late at night, and although the pancake shop was closed, the lights were still on inside.
Li Youran knew that her father must be preparing the dough for tomorrow.
"Little sister~"
Li Youran stood in front of the shop in a daze when she happened to run into Zhao Lanzhi, who was coming out of the shop.
"Why are you here at this time? Have you been very busy lately?"
Zhao Lanzhi mistakenly thought that Li Youran was too busy with business during the day to come to the pancake shop, so he rushed over in the evening.
He quickly pulled Li Youran to sit down in the pancake shop and poured her a cup of hot water.
"father……"
Li Youran called out to Li Dazhu in a soft, sweet accent.
"What's wrong, honey? You seem a bit strange today."
Li Dazhu turned around after hearing Li Youran's voice.
Seeing Li Youran's hesitant expression, so different from her usual energetic self, he simply dusted off the flour on his hands and sat down next to her.
"Just say what you want to say. What can't you tell your father?"
Li Dazhu looked at Li Youran and said with a smile.
Looking into the loving eyes of Li Dazhu, Li Youran felt increasingly unable to speak, unsure how to tell her father about it...
"Father, I have found my sister."
Li Youran said in a low voice, barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.
"What did you say? You found your family?"
Zhao Lanzhi, who was standing nearby, said excitedly after hearing Li Youran's words.
"Daughter, what exactly happened? Tell your father quickly."
Li Dazhu frowned slightly. It wasn't that he wasn't happy for Li Youran, but rather that he was afraid she would be deceived. After all, this girl was a woman of deep affection, and he feared that her eagerness to find her family might lead her to be tricked.
After Li Youran recounted the whole story in detail, Li Haoran and Zhao Lanzhi's mouths were agape, almost wide enough to fit an egg, and Li Dazhu also wore an expression of disbelief.
"That's the Second Prince's consort!"
Zhao Lanzhi never imagined that she could be associated with royalty, who were truly extraordinary figures!
