"Thank you for the receipt, sir. I hope you will come to our store at noon the next day." The shopkeeper cheerfully took the receipt that Yun Wan handed her.

"Hello, who is Lan Niang in the room...?" Yun Wan was very curious, wondering why the woman in the back room was so arrogant.

"She is the chief shopkeeper of our store." The shopkeeper was not very familiar with Lan Niang. On weekdays, except for giving orders, Lan Niang ignored him at all.

"Then you are...?" Yun Wan asked politely.

"I am the second shopkeeper. I usually run errands for the big shopkeeper. People who come to Lanxiufang nominally think that I am the shopkeeper, but in fact it is not the case. To put it bluntly, I am just a clerk." The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He, a big man, was actually being taken care of.

A female shopkeeper pointed her fingers around.

"Is Lan Niang here?" A familiar yet unfamiliar figure hurried into the store.

"Sir, what's the matter?" The shopkeeper immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"You are busy greeting the guests, don't worry about me, I want to talk to Lan Niang about something." Shen Yiyu glanced at the disheveled Yun Wan, but did not recognize her identity.

"Sir, wait a moment, I will go into the room and inform you." The shopkeeper cannot just take the guests to see Lan Niang. If he does not inform him in advance, he will definitely be punished by the boss.

"Don't stop me." Shen Yiyu pushed the second shopkeeper and stumbled straight into the back room.

Yun Wan was kind-hearted, but she had quick eyesight and quick hands to help the second shopkeeper, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

The shopkeeper complained with an unhappy look on his face: "Who is this? So rude, thank you so much, sir."

"Is he a regular visitor here? Why do you feel so familiar with Lan Niang?" Yun Wan didn't know why Shen Yiyu came to Rouge Shop in a hurry.

"I also think he looks familiar, but this person has been to the store two or three times before, and he doesn't have such a irritable temperament." The shopkeeper hadn't seen Shen Yiyu for a long time.

"Maybe I have something special to do with Lan Niang today." Yun Guan was glad that Shen Yiyu didn't recognize her.

"Is that person an old acquaintance of the young master?" the second shopkeeper asked, and he finally remembered that person's extremely noble status.

"She looks very familiar." Yun Wan neither admitted that she knew the prince nor denied it.

"Young master is really a rich man. He even knows the prince?" The second shopkeeper became more enthusiastic about Yun Wan, "That person must be the prince. I remembered that Lan Niang had specially told me before."

"The prince often comes here to buy rouge?" Yun Wan was not curious. She had heard about Shen Yiyu's love history. As long as she was the girl he liked, she was willing to spend money for her. A few boxes of rouge were nothing.

"It seems that every time he comes to see Lan Niang, it's because of the oiran from Qibinlou." The second shopkeeper said thoughtfully. In his impression, the prince had never bought the rouge from their Lan Xiufang.

"The prince is not only a frequent visitor to Lanxiufang, but also a guest at Qibinlou." Yun Wan smiled knowingly. She looked like a gentleman, but in fact he often spent a lot of time in drinking and looking for flowers and willows.

"Since you are curious, young master, I will tell you a secret. I have also heard about it, but I don't know whether it is true or not." The second shopkeeper approached Yun Wan mysteriously and whispered, "I originally thought that the oiran of Qibin Tower was one of us.

A regular customer of the store, I just found out not long ago that she signed a contract of sale with Lan Niang, so the prince may have come here just for this matter."

"What's the relationship between Lan Niang and Qibin Tower?" Yun Wan was puzzled.

"It seems that Lan Niang spent a lot of money to make the busker from Qibinlou into an oiran, and she became the living sign of Lanxiufang." The second shopkeeper obviously wanted to prove his intelligence by sharing this secret with Yun Wan.

"How can a courtesan become a living celebrity?" This matter is beyond Yun Wan's knowledge.

"A place frequented by distinguished guests is naturally willing to spend a lot of money on girls. If the oiran specifies the rouge from our shop, other girls will compete with each other. In addition, after the distinguished guests have customized the rouge, they can take it home to entertain their families.

Everyone knows that after using our store’s rouge and gouache, your skin will be rosy and beautiful, and you will have a fairy-like appearance. This reputation is so great, are you afraid that no customers will come to you?”

The second shopkeeper admired Lan Niang's management skills. Who would have thought that training an oiran would help Rouge Shop's business.

"Then the prince came to Lan Niang to redeem himself for the oiran?" Yun Wan guessed.

"Young Master is wise, what I want to tell you the most is that this prince has come to Lan Niang two or three times for the oiran of Qibin Tower. I guess he must be here to talk about it this time." The second shopkeeper has never seen the oiran.

With her appearance, the woman who could charm the prince must have a peerless beauty. How could his errand boy have the qualifications to admire the beauty?

"It's really interesting that the prince is still thinking about redeeming himself for a prostitute just before his wedding." Yun Wan didn't know whether she should tell Dugu Xiaomeng about this, even if it was just a reminder, it would be a sign of responsibility for him.

"Isn't that right? Lan Niang told me before that I must drive away this extremely distinguished guest. Lan Niang doesn't want to let the oiran girl go easily." The second shopkeeper revealed the secret in Lan Niang's heart.

"How much silver is needed to redeem the oiran's body?" Yun Wan believes in the power of the powerful. No matter how many twists and turns there are in the process, as long as the prince sincerely wants to do something, he will succeed in the end. But redeeming the body of an entertainer is not a glorious thing, and you can't get it.

On the surface, it is difficult to use power to suppress.

"It seems that it's not just a matter of silver. The oiran is also pitiful. Not only did he sign a deed of betrayal with Lan Niang, but he also signed another contract after being sent to Qibin Tower. And His Highness the Crown Prince has successfully negotiated an agreement with Qibin Tower.

, all it takes is Lan Niang to agree, and then the girl will be free."

The second shopkeeper shook his head helplessly. How many people in the world are living involuntarily, without freedom or dignity, and some of the worse ones don't even have food and water.

"I hope that girl can be truly free after being ransomed." Yun Wan was full of emotions. As most women, it is difficult to obey their hearts.

"Young Master is so kind, haven't you even been to Qibin Building?" The second shopkeeper began to be curious about Yun Wan.

"I never go to Fireworks Willow Alley." Yun Wan blushed slightly and said.

"What a rare gentleman. Dare I ask if the young master is marryable? My little girl has just grown hair. How about she be brought into the young master's house as a concubine?" Upon hearing that he had never been to Qibin Tower, the second shopkeeper asked Yun Wan.

Look at it differently.

"The shopkeeper praises me too much. It's a pity that my concubines are strictly controlled and I'm not allowed to look for flowers, let alone take concubines." Yun Wan pretended to be very sorry. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself. After all, she would still be here in two days.

I have to go to the shop to apply rouge.

"Oh, that's right, that's a pity." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

If he knew clearly that there was a tigress in the husband's house, and he married his daughter to her, he was just asking for trouble. The concubine was not well-liked in the first place, and if she was yelled at by his wife all day long, her life would be very miserable.
