The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Of course it's difficult. Although you asked father to let him leave with you, many times, people say one thing in front of you and another behind your back. Father is the same. The prisoner in Wutan Forest was released. How could father allow such a situation to happen? In order to allow you to find me, I did not hesitate to offend father and brought this man out. And you treat me like this?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked with some sadness.

Situ Yaorao sighed softly upon hearing this. Then she walked over to him, stood on tiptoe, and placed a kiss on his lips: "I know you like me, and I love you just as much. But Tantai Wuyue, now is really not the best time for us to meet. Can you wait for me?"

The woman's voice was gentle, with a hint of temptation. Tantai Wuyue stared blankly at Situ Yaorao. After a long pause, she nodded and said, "Okay. I'll wait for you."

As soon as he said this, he regretted agreeing to it. However, he could only shake his head helplessly. Perhaps, this was for the best.

After Situ Yaorao took Weixing out of the Prince's Mansion, she went straight back to Lan Yi Pavilion.

Along the way, Situ Weixing was very curious about everything outside. After following Situ Yaorao back to Lanyi Pavilion, he was even more curious: "This place is so strange. Why is the sun so bright? Why are there so many people? Why aren't they fighting?"

Situ Weixing was like a man with a hundred thousand questions. He kept asking questions, but each question lacked common sense, giving Situ Yaorao a headache.

After returning to Lan Yi Pavilion, Yu Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing the man's question: "Hahahaha, is this person here to make people laugh? It's really hard for you to find such a funny person."

Situ Yaorao's face darkened when she heard this: "He's not here to make fun of you."

"Huh? No? Are you kidding me?"

"He really isn't. I brought him back so that he can help us keep an eye on the place. He's from Wutianlin, and I named him Situ Weixing."

Hearing this, the man fell silent. As a citizen of Lanlin, he knew exactly what Wutian Forest was. Anyone who survived Wutian Forest intact was naturally extremely dangerous.

"As you can see, he has no common sense at all." Situ Yaorao was in tears.

"Miss, do we really want to keep him?" Lian'er asked cautiously. Situ Yaorao glanced at Lian'er and nodded, "Ah, keep him. He is very useful to me. Lian'er, please don't say anything nonsense to my mother."

"Yes, Miss." Lian'er was now accustomed to Situ Yaorao's warnings. However, she still felt a little worried. Is it really okay for such a terrifying person to stay here?

"What...what should I do?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao and asked cautiously. Situ Yaorao was also a little helpless at his appearance: "You don't need to do anything now. Just help me watch over this place every day. If anyone makes trouble, throw them out. Remember not to hurt others."

"Oh." The man thought.

"Your room is over here." Situ Yaorao brought the man to a small room in the corner of the first floor. The man looked at it with his eyes shining: "This place is really beautiful."

"You are so easily satisfied. From now on, this place is yours. As long as you don't do anything you shouldn't do, I will never abandon you." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said softly.

Hearing this, the man nodded vigorously: "I definitely won't."

"That's good." Situ Yaorao chuckled.

After settling Situ Weixing down, Situ Yaorao finally felt relieved. At this moment, the fruits she had ordered also arrived.

"You guys, hurry up and carry all this fruit upstairs to the largest room I cleared." Situ Yaorao directed Lian'er, Yusheng, and Weixing, telling them to carry everything upstairs. Lian'er wasn't very strong, so she tired after a while.

"No, miss, what are you going to do? What's the point of bringing so much fruit upstairs?"

"This question is a secret." Situ Yaorao smiled mysteriously. Then she helped to move it herself. Seeing this, Lian'er hurriedly said, "Miss, I'll do it. Don't get tired." After saying that, she snatched the things from Situ Yaorao's hands.

Situ Yaorao was somewhat helpless about this, but she was also very happy in her heart.

So she sat at the door and looked at the fruits, while Yu Sheng and the others were responsible for carrying them upstairs.

The division of labor and cooperation made things lively. However, at this moment, in Lingyue Building across the street, the atmosphere was not as cheerful as here.

On the second floor of Lingyue Building, a masked man in purple stood in front of the window, looking at Situ Yaorao across from him, exuding a displeased aura.

"Master, the woman named Qinghe is dead." A woman in black said respectfully behind him.

"Humph! What a waste."

"Master, that shop is now under the name of Situ Yaorao. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take over any other shop now."

"Isn't Situ Yaorao the eldest daughter of the Situ family? Why is she here?" the man was puzzled.

"This... Miss Situ seems to have run away from the Situ family. If she's here, she probably wants to do business. I don't know where these young ladies got the interest from. They ran out and blocked our way."

"This Miss Situ is quite interesting. However, I want to see what she's up to. Tell the people down there not to act rashly. I'm going to put my sights on Lan Yi Pavilion across the way for now. It's also a way of giving the Situ family some face," the man said calmly. But his eyes were fixed on Situ Yaorao at the door.

Thoughtful.

It took more than an hour to finally move all the fruits upstairs. After everything was moved upstairs, Situ Yaorao also went into the room and never came out again.

In modern times, she rarely had any exciting drinks in the mountains. But this fruit wine was the secret weapon of those old immortals.

They were using this fruit wine to entice her to constantly learn new techniques. Over time, even she had mastered the art of brewing it. She had thought it would only satisfy her cravings, but now it had a real purpose. Situ Yaorao thought to herself as she began to fetch the large jars she had prepared. Then, little by little, she began to add the fruit and seasonings.

This thing is used to make fruit wine quickly.

Now, there was clearly not enough time to brew the kind of fruit wine she had in mind. Therefore, the first batch would be a quick fix. Once the first batch was used up, the second batch of real fruit wine would be brewed.

That would be the time when her tavern would truly succeed. However, she didn't have to worry about others knowing her brewing methods. Everyone's brewing method was different. And fruit wine was delicate; even the slightest error could make a world of difference. She'd learned her techniques from those drunken old men. She'd even bettered them.

"I don't know what the young lady is doing. She has been upstairs for more than an hour and hasn't come down yet. The carpenter has been working for half a day. She doesn't come down to give instructions like before." Lian'er said with some depression in her heart.

Hearing this, Yu Sheng glanced at Lian'er and chuckled, "You're really worried. Don't worry, it shouldn't be anything serious."

"I know it won't be a big deal, but the fact that the young lady hasn't said anything and is so secretive the whole time is really worrying."

"If you're really worried, you can go upstairs and take a look." The man looked at Lian'er and said softly. Lian'er hesitated and said, "Forget it. If I disturb the young lady, she will definitely be angry." After saying that, Lian'er's eyes fell on Situ Weixing, who had been sitting there like a piece of wood.

"Hey, Mu Tou, let me ask you something. Did my young lady ever say anything to you?"

"She said she wouldn't abandon me," the man replied obediently. Lian'er was no exception to this statement, as it was indeed Situ Yaorao's style. So, she continued, "Mu Tou, what can you do?"

"kill."

"..." Lian'er's mouth twitched, and she changed the question: "Mu Tou, do you have any hobbies?"

"No."

"You are so boring. You should talk more and smile more in the future. If you continue like this, you will scare away the guests sooner or later." Lian'er said.
