The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system

On the way back home, He Yang excitedly told Yun Zhizhi, "Boss, we made a net profit of 142 taels of silver from selling spicy hot pot this time. Although we didn't make as much as lipstick and lotus root, it's still better than many other stall owners out there."

Yun Zhizhi readily handed him the portion of silver he was entitled to and said, "You have a point. After all, we only have four days to set up the Malatang stall."

"By the way, I'm planning to open a vermicelli workshop. I've also partnered with Chen Fugui today. Do you want to open one with me? I'll give you the same 30% of the profits as before. Are you willing to..."

Before Yun Zhizhi finished speaking, He Yang agreed first and said excitedly, "I do!"

Only a fool would refuse.

This is a long-term way to make money. He would be willing to do it even if he was only given 10% profit.

Then, he said to Yun Zhizhi with a smile, "Boss, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Right now we need to hurry up and find a place to buy as the site for our workshop. If we just build a workshop directly, I'm afraid we won't have enough time." Yun Zhizhi said solemnly.

He Yang patted his chest and promised, "Boss, leave it to me! I'll find a place suitable for making vermicelli."

Seeing his confident look, Yun Zhizhi agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

So the two of them discussed some requirements and precautions regarding site selection for a while.

After returning to the Yun Mansion, Yun Zhizhi was not as eager as before to call Xiao Donggua to ask about the score he got from setting up the stall.

There is no other reason.

She didn't want to be punished so soon, and the longer she could delay, the better.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. Yun Zhizhi turned over, ready to continue enjoying this rare leisure time.

However, her sweet dream was soon interrupted.

"Miss, wake up! A maid claiming to be the queen's attendant has come to our Yun Mansion to deliver an imperial decree."

Xiaotao shook Yun Zhizhi's shoulders anxiously, with a hint of nervousness and excitement in her voice.

Yun Zhizhi suddenly opened her eyes, and her originally confused brain instantly became clear.

She quickly jumped out of bed and asked Xiaotao to help her find clothes while she was thinking secretly in her heart.

Why did the nanny beside the queen suddenly come to the Yun Mansion?

Yun Zhizhi hurriedly put on her clothes, tidied her hair, and then hurriedly walked towards the main hall with Xiaotao.

She has been busy setting up her stall recently and hasn't caused any trouble. Why would the Queen send someone to find her?

When Yun Zhizhi saw Nanny Li, her heart felt a little relieved.

Nanny Li looks gentle and kind, and does not give people a sense of majesty.

She smiled and saluted Yun Zhizhi, and conveyed the Queen's order, "According to the Queen's instructions, I have come to the Yun Mansion to invite Miss Yun to the palace for a banquet before the beginning of the afternoon."

After hearing this, Yun Zhizhi was stunned.

She widened her eyes and looked at Madam Li with confusion: "Madam, have you come to the wrong place?"

After all, she is no longer the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but just a small merchant girl.

Nanny Li had no choice but to explain, "This palace banquet is to celebrate the Sixth Prince's restoration of his appearance. Miss Yun is a great hero. In addition to participating in the palace banquet, you will also receive rewards from the Queen and the Empress Dowager."

Yun Zhizhi suddenly realized!

reward?

A large pile of gold, silver and jewelry immediately appeared in Yun Zhizhi's mind.

Originally, she was not very interested in attending the palace banquet, but when she thought of the rewards, she immediately became excited and her interest increased greatly.

After Nanny Li left, Xiao Tao excitedly whispered to Yun Zhizhi, "Miss, let's go back to the room. I will dress you up so beautifully that you'll outshine all the other ladies from noble families."

"No need for that! We have to be as low-key as possible. Being too high-profile will easily attract those big green tea and small green tea girls." Yun Zhizhi quickly shook her head and refused.

There will definitely be many dignitaries, sons and daughters of officials attending this palace banquet. Where there are handsome men, there will definitely be a lot of gossip.

She doesn't want to get into trouble.

Xiao Tao asked curiously, "What is green tea?"

Yun Zhizhi smiled faintly and patiently explained, "This is used to describe people who appear innocent and kind-hearted on the surface, speaking sweetly, but are actually full of calculations and conspiracies."

"They pretend to be innocent and pitiful in front of others, using sweet words to deceive others, but behind the scenes they show a completely different side, becoming insidious and cunning, pursuing their own interests by any means necessary."

Xiaotao nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood the meaning of the word.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in her mind, and she said to Yun Zhizhi in a serious tone, "Miss, the Grand Tutor's daughter, Lin Qianyu, will definitely attend this palace banquet. You must be careful of her."

Seeing Yun Zhizhi's puzzled expression, Xiao Tao quickly explained: "This Miss Lin is simply a big green tea!"

"I've attended two palace banquets with the young lady before. Every time, I saw her acting so weak and helpless in front of the young masters or princes, which made me want to protect her."

"But once, I happened to see her scolding the servants around her. She looked so ferocious and terrifying. Doesn't she feel tired of being one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?"

Yun Zhizhi smiled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "You don't understand this. Some people are willing to pretend for their entire lives in order to achieve their goals."

"People like this often live very tiring lives, but they never tire of it."

At this time, in the Taifu Mansion.

Five or six maids were surrounding the big green tea girl Lin Qianyu, carefully helping her dress and dress up.

Suddenly, Lin Qianyu yelled at one of the maids, "You're courting death! You've even smeared the lipstick crookedly. Do you know how precious this man-killing lipstick is? Get out of here and get punished!"

The maid turned pale with fear and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy: "This servant did not mean to do this. Please forgive this servant this time, my lady."

"Get out of here now! If you keep on complaining here, you won't just get punished with ten slaps on the board." Lin Qianyu glared at her fiercely.

Every time Lin Qianyu went out to meet those young men, she would dress up carefully and put on lipstick in a man-attracting color to attract their attention.

Due to frequent use, this lipstick was almost used up. And this ignorant maid had applied the lipstick crookedly, wasting a little bit.

How could she not be angry?

After all, one application less.

If Yun Zhizhi, the fake legitimate daughter, came out to set up a stall to sell lipstick again, she wouldn't be so angry.
