“Our Xiangyu is a virtuous woman, unlike some men who commit adultery and keep lovers, flirting with other women every day. I heard that even the top scholar in the provincial examination was seduced by her!”
Hearing Wang Niangzi's words, everyone finally understood that Wang Niangzi had come for this very reason.
To be honest, everyone found it quite strange. Tian Alang was overjoyed to have become the top scholar in the imperial examination. Even if he didn't want to find a lady from a prominent family, he should at least find a girl from a modest family.
But to everyone's surprise, Aunt Tian refused all the invitations and came to the Li family alone with gifts.
If you said that Tian Alang and Li Youran hadn't done anything before, no one would really believe it.
"She's a married woman, after all, so she's more open about these things. Tian Alang is just a young lad, he's never experienced anything like this before, maybe he really was seduced by Li Youran."
"Is the virginity mark on Li Youran's arm real or fake?"
Suddenly, a barrage of negative comments rained down on Li Youran, while Zhao Lanzhi, who was selling steamed buns nearby, rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"You keep saying that your Wang Xiangyu is a virtuous wife, but how did your Wang Xiangyu get this child? Everyone knows."
Zhao Lanzi spat as she spoke and continued.
“Our You Ran is a thousand times, a hundred times, cleaner than your Wang Xiangyu. There is no comparison between the two. The reason why Aunt Tian came to our house is because our You Ran once saved Tian Alang’s life. She came here to thank You Ran for saving her life.”
If it weren't for the sake of the pancake shop's business, Zhao Lanzhi would have loved to scold those who joined in the commotion as well.
Having failed to gain any advantage, Madam Wang once again fled in disgrace. This time, instead of going straight home, she went to the Wang family's residence.
"Daughter, the Li family is going too far. If we don't teach them a lesson, I won't be able to live a normal life once you and your husband go to the capital!"
Wang Niangzi cried and lamented to Wang Xiangyu, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Mother, don't worry, before I leave, I will definitely give Li Youran a big gift."
Wang Xiangyu stroked her belly and said with a gloomy expression.
Even if Madam Wang didn't come today, Wang Xiangyu had already made plans. Before leaving, she would give the Li family a good thrashing.
The variables are too great; who knows what will happen in the future? Since she stole Li Youran's future in this life, then Li Youran must be completely eliminated, otherwise, who knows what might happen in the future.
To prevent future troubles, it's best to take action as soon as possible.
"No, I've never been to an event like this before. What if I mess it up?"
Before Yun Yingying could finish speaking, Li Youran hurriedly refused.
“You’re usually very outgoing and easygoing, and you’re friendly with everyone. It’s more appropriate for you to go to this kind of event.”
Unlike Yun Yingying, who is socially adept, Li Youran is someone who suffers from social awkwardness. It's already quite an achievement that she has managed to get to where she is today. If she were to attend the legendary poetry gathering, she would probably be socially dead on the spot.
"Hehe, am I going to recite poetry and make merry, or to showcase the jewelry and cosmetics in our shop?"
Although Yun Yingying is a formidable figure in the business world, she also has her weaknesses; she is completely ignorant of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
The main purpose of attending the poetry gathering was to advertise the cosmetics and jewelry from their own shop. If Yun Yingying were to actually go, the shop might not be able to stay open in the future.
"You don't need to feel too guilty. It's just a poetry gathering organized by a group of young men and women who love poetry. Our main purpose is to showcase our family's things. Writing poetry is secondary, as long as it's not too embarrassing."
Yuan Yingying knew she definitely couldn't attend, so she comforted Li Youran.
There's always a first time; you'll get used to it afterward.
Li Youran's lips twitched. The grand poetry gathering, which would be attended by all the famous talented men and beautiful women in the capital, was described so casually by Yun Yingying.
"Fine, I'll just have to bite the bullet and go. After all, I don't have any other choice." Li Youran steeled her resolve, nodded, and agreed.
"Good sister, you're so kind! Come on, let me take you to Yunyan Pavilion and get you some nice new outfits!"
Li Youran did not refuse, because she really didn't have many clothes. Normally it wouldn't matter, but the key was that this time it was to showcase her family's cosmetics and jewelry. If the clothes weren't good, all of these things would be greatly diminished.
Li Youran is usually very low-key and rarely chooses brightly colored clothes. Today, however, she is dressed in a purple gown, which instantly transforms her appearance. The cinched waist accentuates her slender figure, making her even more graceful.
"This is the first time I've ever envied other women."
When Li Youran came out wearing this outfit, Yun Yingying praised her without reservation.
"This outfit seems tailor-made for the young lady. People say that clothes match the person, but today it's the clothes that match the person."
The proprietress of Yunyan Pavilion was also very generous. Seeing that Li Youran looked good in this outfit, she offered to give Li Youran a discount.
After all, someone as beautiful as Li Youran would be a walking advertisement wherever she goes if she wore this outfit.
Although the dress looked good on her, Li Youran always felt that the colors were too bright and would overshadow the jewelry.
So she chose a white gauze corset dress with wide sleeves and a long train, which was sexy yet elegant.
"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."
Yun Yingying originally thought that Li Youran, who was so thin she was practically skin and bones, had no breasts, but she never expected that Li Youran not only had ample breasts, but they were quite large...
"Isn't the last piece a bit too revealing?"
