Having just arrived in the capital and being unfamiliar with the place, Li Youran decided to go to the Yunlai Inn to find Manager Yun after filling her stomach.
However, before going to find Manager Yun, Li Youran planned to change her clothes first, because her figure and appearance clearly indicated that she came from out of town, which was too eye-catching.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and Li Youran instantly transformed into a noble lady of the capital by wearing a purple cloud gauze dress.
She already had fair skin, a tall figure, and a head of beautiful black hair. Now, dressed in gorgeous clothes, she looked even more noble and dignified.
Seeing that many women on the street were wearing veils, Li Youran also bought one and wore it, after all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
"Hey buddy, is your manager, Manager Yun, here?"
Yunlai Inn was easy to find; Li Youran found it after asking around.
"Please wait a moment, young lady. Our manager is in the backyard."
Seeing that Li Youran was dressed elegantly and had a dignified and graceful demeanor, the waiter mistook her for a young lady from a wealthy family and dared not neglect her. So he hurriedly went to the backyard to find Manager Yun.
"You shameless Pan Jinlian, I've finally caught you today!"
Li Youran was sitting in the lobby waiting for Manager Yun when suddenly a burly woman rushed out, hands on her hips, pointing at Li Youran and cursing loudly.
"You have plenty of young men to choose from, yet you insist on seducing married men. Today, I'm going to tear your vixen face to shreds."
"Ma'am, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Upon arriving in the capital, Li Youran somehow got into this mess. She hurriedly took a step back and reached out to stop him.
"Who are you calling 'elder sister'? Stop trying to claim kinship with me. I don't have a sister as shameless as you."
As the woman spoke, she looked Li Youran up and down with her eyes and continued.
“I’ve been waiting here for you for three days, how could I mistake you for someone else?”
This burly woman was Yun Yingying, the wife of Manager Yun. Her name suggested a delicate, refined woman, but she was a complete shrew.
Manager Yun's original surname was not Yun; he married into the Yun family. Normally, Yun Yingying was extremely strict with Manager Yun, and if she found him cheating on her, she would punish him according to family rules.
Yun Yingying heard that Manager Yun was keeping a mistress outside the shop and had been frequently visiting him in the past few days, so she waited there for several days to see her.
Today, by chance, I encountered Li Youran looking for Manager Yun, and I mistakenly thought that Li Youran was Manager Yun's mistress.
"Stop arguing with me! I've never even seen you before!"
Li Youran guessed that this was the person the woman had mistaken for, so he simply removed his veil.
"Look carefully, I'm not the Pan Jinlian you're looking for!"
Seeing Li Xiuran speak so confidently and with such an angry expression, Yun Yingying began to doubt whether she had mistaken him for someone else. Just then, Manager Yun rushed over in a panic.
"My dear woman, what are you up to now?" Manager Yun said humbly, "Madam, there are still guests here. Don't let this affect our business."
"Tell me, who is this woman?"
Manager Yun had actually noticed Li Youran long ago; after all, a beautiful woman is always eye-catching, no matter where she is. However, fearing that his wife would be angry, he pretended not to have noticed Li Youran.
"Young lady, are you looking for me?"
Manager Yun was certain that he had never seen Li Youran before, after all, such a beauty would be unforgettable once seen.
"Manager Yun, do you recognize what this is?"
As Li Youran spoke, he took out the token given to him by the Second Prince from his bosom.
"May I ask if your surname is Li, young lady?"
Upon seeing the token again, Manager Yun asked cautiously.
He received news early in the morning that the Second Prince planned to open two information-gathering shops, and a girl surnamed Li would be coming to make contact.
"My name is Li Youran. I will need to trouble Manager Yun in the future."
Li Youran bowed gracefully.
"No, no, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future, Miss Li."
Li Youran was personally selected by the Second Prince Tianxia, so Manager Yun dared not neglect him.
Yun Yingying, who was standing to the side, initially thought that Manager Yun was fooling her, but when she saw that the token was genuine, she realized that she had really mistaken him for someone else.
Not only did they mistake the wrong person, they also offended a powerful figure.
"The flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; even family members don't recognize each other. Miss Li, I'm so sorry, it was all my fault just now."
Yun Yingying and the other three, who were thick-skinned, immediately swallowed their pride and apologized to Li Youran.
"Miss Li, I apologize on behalf of my husband next time. It was all a misunderstanding."
"Who are you calling a slut? You're the slut!"
Seeing Yun Yingying get angry, Manager Yun instinctively shuddered.
"I'm despicable, it's all my fault, please calm down, madam."
Manager Yun hurriedly apologized to Yun Yingying, then turned to Li Youran and said...
“Miss Li, this is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the backyard.”
Although it was their first meeting, Li Youran could imagine the way the couple got along; Manager Yun was probably henpecked.
Yunlai Inn is a large-scale establishment with three floors, countless guest rooms, and a very spacious backyard. After passing through a series of doors, Li Youran followed Manager Yun and his wife to an extremely elegant private room.
"Miss Li, please rest assured, as long as you have your eye on a shop, our Yun family will definitely be able to secure it."
Yun Yingying was not only fierce in her words and deeds, but also quite masculine in her actions. She patted her chest and said to Li Youran.
"Although our Yun family is not the largest merchant family in the capital, it is still one of the top. Not to mention anything else, the inn industry is almost monopolized by our Yun family, and we also get involved in the affairs of the docks."
The Yun family possessed abundant wealth, but unfortunately, their population was small. In order to ensure the continuation of the family line, most of the women in the Yun family chose to marry into good families.
