Chapter 408 Don't want to stay? Next!
Shi An was terrified. Thinking of his own life, he said, "Young Master, I'll take my leave now! But Miss said she wants to go out for a stroll tomorrow. I wonder if Young Master would agree?"

Pei Yuanjun's expression softened slightly upon hearing the name Bao'er.

He suddenly smiled strangely: "Let her go out. After all, we still need to let her see it!"

Shi An immediately lowered his head in astonishment, for the lady had originally intended to see the young lady.

The young master stopped them from doing so, and now he's deliberately letting them take the young lady out so the madam can see her. I wonder what the young master is thinking?
With these questions in mind, I immediately went downstairs.

Pei Yuanjun looked at the woman he had just painted in the painting, and saw that it was the same woman Qi Yunran had looked like in front of the restaurant.

She stood amidst a cluster of antique buildings, her beauty captivating at first glance.

The beauty of the entire city of Kyoto pales in comparison to even a fraction of her splendor.

Looking at Qi Yunran's stunningly beautiful face, Pei Yuanjun gently stroked it with his hand.

A wicked glint in his lips—this time, let's see where you can run!
Qi Yunran, seething with anger, arrived at the inn closest to the Prime Minister's residence and said to the innkeeper who was collecting money, "A superior room, please!"

The innkeeper looked up and saw Qi Yunran. After sizing her up, he suddenly smiled knowingly and said, "A superior room costs two hundred taels!"

"What? So expensive?" Qi Yunran looked at him in disbelief!
The innkeeper's face darkened: "Don't want to stay? Then the next person will be in the room!"

"I'll stay here...I'll stay here!" The people behind her immediately tried to push her aside!

Qi Yunran was stunned. When did a long line form behind her? And it was full of beautifully dressed women from official families?

A maidservant of the steward said, "If you're not staying here, please make way! Our young lady wants to stay!"

Qi Yunran gritted her teeth. That damned Pei Yuanjun actually kicked her out and wouldn't let her in! She was forced into a shady inn and angrily pulled out two hundred taels of silver!

The shopkeeper's face was dark, but his brows relaxed a little when he saw Qi Yunran take the silver!
However, when he saw the mark of the Prince Zhao's Mansion on the silver note, his attitude towards Qi Yunran immediately became much warmer!

Who doesn't know that the Prince Zhao's mansion is now a favorite of the Crown Prince?
They are the top powerful and influential people in the capital!

He's also the owner of their inn!
The innkeeper respectfully accepted the silver note: "Miss, the inn has clearly marked prices, and we treat everyone fairly! If you like it, I'll reserve that private room for you indefinitely. You can even rent it long-term! We also offer food and drinks!"

Qi Yunran looked at the innkeeper, who was trying to curry favor with her, and handed her a book listing the room prices at the inn!
Sure enough, it was clear at a glance: first-class rooms cost 200 taels of silver per night, and second-class rooms cost 100 taels per night!
Third-class rooms cost fifty taels a night, servants' rooms cost ten taels a night!
Qi Yunran felt that things were surreal. Why did she feel that this room was so expensive?

It's ten times more expensive than when they first came to the capital?
The green-clad maid who had spoken earlier protested, "Manager, didn't I say that the room with the best location and the most expansive view was reserved for my young lady? Why did you give it to that woman?"

The innkeeper, with a perfectly impartial expression, pointed earnestly at the inn's signboard: "Honest business practices, fair to all! That young lady arrived first, so we must respect the order of arrival! Besides, she paid for her room, so there's no reason not to let her stay. Miss Han is so understanding; she certainly won't hold it against that girl! I've reserved a fairly nice room for your young lady, with a good view. If you agree, I'll give you a discount, charging you 190 taels! What do you say?"

The girl's face stiffened, but considering that this was Prince Zhao's property, she didn't say anything.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Qi Yunran, who was glaring at him with resentment!
Qi Yunran felt a sense of inexplicable confusion!
