Li Yanran is the eldest daughter of the Li family in Changsha and the sole heir to the Li family's business.
In today's open-minded Tang Dynasty, it is rare for a woman to inherit the family business, but it is not unprecedented.
In addition, although Li Yanran is nominally the eldest daughter of the Li family, in fact, the Li family's huge business has little to do with her own family.
After her father Li Fugui became a monk, Li Yanran's mother single-handedly supported the entire family business.
In a sense, apart from being called the "Li family", Li Yanran's huge family business actually has little to do with the family surnamed Li.
After both Li Yanran's parents passed away, she also showed considerable courage and skill when she was alone.
Whether they are distant relatives who want to take advantage of others, or those uneasy and well-meaning in-laws...
Li Yanran unceremoniously drove them out of the gate of Li's mansion, and ordered her shops and forces to retaliate viciously against these ill-intentioned guys.
As time went by, those who could not take advantage began to spread some vicious rumors.
For example, Li Yanran is the reincarnation of the evil star who will kill all the relatives and friends around her.
For another example, the reason why Li Yanran hates someone proposing marriage to her is because like her father, she likes the same sex and has no interest in the opposite sex.
Li Yanran ignored all of this.
Anyway, no matter how the rumors from the outside world spread, for Li Yanran, who is now alone, they are no more powerful than the breeze blowing in her ears.
However, there are exceptions to everything, even Li Yanran, who has always shown a strong attitude to the outside world.
So one morning, those who had been coveting Li Yanran's beauty and wealth were surprised to find that the woman who was as fierce as a tiger actually went out after dressing up carefully.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Little lady, who are we going to see?"
Following closely behind his wife, Li Yanran's personal maid looked at the noisy crowd nearby with a surprised expression.
Since the "Mulian Temple Incident", most of the maids who grew up with Li Yanran have died.
In the eyes of this maid who had only been with Li Yanran for a few years, although her little lady was not as cold and fierce as the outside world rumored, she was definitely not an easy-to-reach character.
On the contrary, the very discerning Li Yanran didn't even pay much attention to the local county guard, and repeatedly refused various banquets held for her by the other party.
Over time, the maid even felt that maybe only the true disciples of the emperor could fall in her eyes, right?
"A benefactor."
Glancing at the maid lightly, Li Yanran stood at the city gate like an ordinary woman, showing no signs of abnormality at all because of the noisy crowd nearby.
That kind of accustomed look, as if Li Yanran often goes in and out of it.
And this is indeed the case. Before Li Yanran's mother passed away, she had been dedicated to finding the whereabouts of her father, and she had long been accustomed to dealing with various religions and people.
"benefactor?"
The maid frowned slightly and looked around. She was obviously not used to Li Yanran's behavior and wanted to continue questioning.
However, after seeing Li Yanran's indifferent eyes, the maid immediately remembered the two "seniors" who had been dismissed before, and quickly lowered her head and shut up.
As the rumors say, Li Yanran doesn't like people questioning her practices and choices.
The two "seniors" before the maid were directly sent to the kitchen as cooks by Li Yanran just because they were tongue-tied on certain things.
The maid is very satisfied with her current identity and status, and has no desire to follow in the footsteps of those two "seniors".
"coming!"
Just when the maid lowered her head and thought about what kind of "benefactor" could make this young lady run to the city gate to greet her regardless of her grace, a soft cry of hidden joy passed into her ears.
"That is?"
Looking in the direction where Li Yanran was calling, a luxurious carriage suddenly appeared on the originally empty avenue.
Around the carriage, more than a dozen guards armed with swords and riding horses tightly surrounded it, wary of any strangers who intended to approach the carriage.
With just one glance, the maid could confirm that the person riding this carriage must be either rich or noble.
[Is the lady’s benefactor...in that carriage? 】
Such thoughts flashed through her mind, and the maid saw that Li Yanran was already walking quickly towards the carriage, so she could only trot to keep up.
Compared with the frail maid, Li Yanran's behavior at this moment is very much like those women from the world who come and go like the wind.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After a while, when the guards near the carriage realized that someone was approaching, Li Yanran and the maid were no more than ten steps away from the carriage.
"He who comes is stopped!"
A strong man in the lead immediately stopped his horse and shouted loudly at Li Yanran.
And with the strong man's scolding, the curtain door of the carriage was slowly opened, revealing the three nobles sitting inside.
"Who are you?"
The first person to speak was the man who looked tall and thick, but always smiled.
Behind the man, an eccentric girl was looking at Li Yanran, master and servant, with a look of surprise and curiosity.
But behind the man and the woman, the man who looked very noble at first sight was always closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Long time no see, little master!"
Just when the maid thought that the noble man was the benefactor that her little lady was going to welcome.
However, Li Yanran passed directly over the three people on the carriage, smiling and looking at the last young man riding a horse in the motorcade.
There is a complicated long bow on his back, and a short blade with a strange arc on his waist...
At first glance, the young man looked quite like a hunter descending from the mountains.
What is more peculiar is that around this young man's neck, there is a string of Buddhist rosary beads that only monks wear.
This half-monk and half-secular outfit immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Li Yanran?"
Everyone present looked at him in shock, and the young man riding the horse looked at Li Yanran in surprise.
"How will you be here?"
The young man, or rather Pei Wende, stared at Li Yanran whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether the other person's appearance here was a coincidence.
