After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

"But, I have one more thing I'd like to ask you for." Luo Shuiyao's eyes flickered between Ye Yunzhou and Fang Yueniang, her expression full of hesitation. She pursed her lips slightly, as if she had something on the tip of her tongue but didn't know how to start.

Fang Yueniang looked at Luo Shuiyao like this, raised her slender eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "It's okay, just say whatever you want, there's no need to be so hesitant."

Ye Yunzhou showed a gentle look and nodded slightly to Luo Shuiyao, indicating that she should speak out boldly.

Luo Shuiyao took a deep breath, as if she had finally mustered up the courage. A hint of nervousness and anticipation flickered in her eyes as she slowly spoke, "Sister Fang, Master, I have something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "I...I want to ask, does your Treasure Clothing Shop have a shop in Kyoto? I have a business matter that I'd like to discuss with you. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I've never known how to proceed. Seeing Sister Fang today, I couldn't help but bring it up. I hope Sister Fang and Master won't blame me."

Her voice trembled slightly and she looked very nervous.

After hearing what Luo Shuiyao said, Fang Yueniang's eyes flashed with curiosity. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Oh? Business? Tell me about it. If there is anything feasible, we can discuss it."

Ye Yunzhou also nodded slightly, signaling Luo Shuiyao to continue.

At this point, Luo Shuiyao no longer hesitated, and she slowly spoke out what she had already planned in her mind: "I am an orphan. I am going to Kyoto this time. Although I have relatives to help me, it is still not decent to eat and use other people's money. I have been thinking about making money for a while, but I have never been able to find a way. It was not until today that I came up with some plans. I want to ask my sister, I want to discuss it with you privately, is it possible?"

As she spoke, she bowed to Ye Yunzhou with an apologetic look on her face.

Ye Yunzhou was puzzled when he heard her say this, and frowned slightly, but he also gave her some face, stood up and said, "Then you guys talk, I'll go out first."

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions. He turned and walked out the door.

Luo Shuiyao watched Ye Yunzhou's departing back, feeling a little relieved. She knew her request was a bit abrupt, but it was indeed not appropriate for a man to be present. She turned to look at Fang Yueniang, her eyes full of expectation, waiting for her response.

Fang Yue Niang pondered for a moment, wondering what Luo Shui Yao wanted to discuss with her. She looked at Luo Shui Yao's determined eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, feel free to tell me what you want to say."

Luo Shuiyao felt slightly happy. She took a deep breath to calm her slightly excited mood and began to express her thoughts.

"Sister Fang, this is what I think..." Luo Shuiyao talked and gestured, and discussed with Fang Yueniang for a long time.

She glanced out the window and saw the sun was already high in the sky. She figured it was almost time, so she said, "That's about it. Thanks for troubling you, Sister Fang. But how can I contact you if I go to Kyoto?"

Fang Yueniang held the blueprints in her hands, her eyes filled with enthusiasm. She waved her hand casually and said, "It's okay. The manager here has to go out for a few days, so I'll keep watch here for him. I'll be back in Kyoto in a few days, and you can come find me at the Baoyifang in Kyoto then."

Luo Shuiyao felt a little relieved after hearing this, and silently memorized the name of "Baoyifang" in Kyoto. She looked at Fang Yueniang's enthusiastic and eager expression, and she also looked forward to the future plans.

At this moment, the sunlight shone through the window onto the two of them. The soft and warm light seemed to be silently witnessing this special negotiation.

Luo Shuiyao looked at Fang Yueniang, who was concentrating on the blueprints, with a hint of helplessness and understanding in her eyes. She knew that Fang Yueniang was completely immersed in thinking about the blueprints at the moment and had no time to care about other things.

So she sat quietly aside, waiting for Fang Yue Niang's response.

After a while, Luo Shuiyao finally couldn't help but whispered: "Sister Fang, I want to ask you for a favor..."

Fang Yue Niang did not respond immediately. She waved her hand casually, signaling Luo Shuiyao to continue, while she was still concentrating on studying the drawings in her hand.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao stood up and bowed slightly, saying sincerely, "I just hope Sister Fang can keep this secret for me. I don't want others to know that it's me who's working with you."

Fang Yueniang finally came back to her senses from the drawings after hearing Luo Shuiyao's words. She raised her head and looked at Luo Shuiyao thoughtfully, then smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood her concerns.

Then, she slowly said, "Don't worry about this. When I return to the capital and discuss this with Madam, I will say that I came across this method by chance. This will protect your identity while also allowing us to smoothly advance our plan."

Luo Shuiyao's worries eased slightly after hearing Fang Yueniang's promise. She bowed again and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Fang, for your understanding. I'll be counting on you for everything when we get to the capital."

Fang Yueniang smiled and replied, "When you arrive in the capital, find a place to stay first. Once you're settled, you can come find me. I'll discuss everything with my wife, and all the profits will be given to you. My wife is kind and generous, and she will definitely treat you well."

Luo Shuiyao felt reassured after hearing Fang Yueniang's arrangement. This partnership with Fang Yueniang was crucial to her future livelihood, and her promise filled her with even greater anticipation. She looked at Fang Yueniang gratefully and bowed deeply once more, expressing her gratitude.

Outside, beneath the hibiscus tree, Ye Yunzhou stood with his hands behind his back. A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling his dark hair, making him appear less aloof and more ethereal.

Luo Shuiyao turned the corner of the house and saw the scene in front of her. The black clothes and black hair matched with the falling red flowers formed an extremely beautiful picture. She looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her in a trance.

"Why don't you come over?"

Ye Yunzhou heard her footsteps as soon as she opened the door. He didn't know why she hadn't come over yet. Turning around, he saw her looking at him, frowning slightly and asking.

When she heard Ye Yunzhou's voice, Luo Shuiyao quickly responded, "I was just mesmerized by the beauty of this hibiscus flower!"

After saying that, she said no more and walked quickly to Ye Yunzhou.

Ye Yunzhou didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded lightly, then asked, "Is the negotiation done?"

"Yes," Luo Shuiyao replied with a slight nod.

"Since everything is fine, let's go." After saying that, he walked out the door without waiting for Luo Shuiyao's reply.

Luo Shuiyao stared at his back with her eyes wide open. Seeing that his foot was about to step out of the threshold, she hurriedly trotted to catch up with him.

"Why don't you ask me what Sister Fang and I talked about?"

Ye Yunzhou glanced at the woman who was jogging beside him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
