The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"It seems that the prince is not in a good mood today." Situ Yaorao said.

"why do you say so?"

"The prince himself said that he didn't dare to use it many times. In that case, it is even more impossible for him to carry it with him at all times. So the only reason for the ring is that the prince was in a very bad mood and needed the fruity fragrance to improve his mood. He happened to meet me who was also in a bad mood. So he handed the fruity fragrance to me." Situ Yaorao analyzed calmly.

This result made Tan Tai Yun Yi want to applaud. And the fact was indeed so.

"It's just some things about the court." Tantai Yunyi said it in a flash, then asked, "Why are you asking?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao was silent for a moment before she said, "I always feel like I don't have even a little freedom. Everything is decided by others. My family background, my relatives, they are all like shackles, locking me down and preventing me from moving."

"Miss Situ thinks too much."

"Perhaps so. However... when I was brought to the Gu family and now asked to return to the Situ family, I just couldn't convince myself no matter how hard I tried. Maybe I really am the useless Miss Situ in their eyes. At the right time, they will take me away to marry. And then establish a beautiful marriage relationship."

Situ Yaorao frowned and said.

"Ms. Situ, people are like this. They don't have what's called freedom. But, precisely because of this, people always want to be free. Just like you, and just like me."

"Is that so?" Situ Yaorao asked uncertainly.

"nature."

"Maybe that's the case. But no matter what the relationship is, I won't resist. After all... being in that position, you have to bear a certain amount of pressure." Situ Yaorao chuckled.

Tantai Yunyi looked at her and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion.

"Nothing... I was just thinking, how great it would be if you weren't the eldest daughter of the Situ family. How great it would be if my seventh brother could be as strong as you."

"In this world, everyone is an independent individual and it is impossible to become anyone else's." Situ Yaorao said.

"Yes, that's why I feel a little emotional. Well, let me take you back. I will pick you up at the restaurant tomorrow and then go to meet my seventh brother." Tan Tai Yun Yi said lightly.

Situ Yaorao nodded when she heard this. The two of them had no more topics to talk about along the way.

A shop would be in chaos if the owner was not there. Situ Yaorao didn't believe it at first. However, when she returned to the restaurant and saw everything inside, she felt unwell.

Inside the restaurant, Lian'er, drunk for some reason, sat in Situ Weixing's arms, her eyes hazy, mumbling something. And Situ Weixing, sitting there coldly, letting Lian'er do whatever she wanted to him.

Off to the side, the usually aloof Wu was sharpening a wooden sword at the wine table. Meanwhile, Xiaobai, dressed in purple, rested his chin on his hand, watching Lian'er and Situ Weixing with interest.

As for Yu Sheng, he was quite far away, having a drink alone. After seeing this scene, Situ Yaorao felt the vein on his forehead throbbing.

Glancing at the crowd, no one noticed her. Situ Yaorao then entered the restaurant first. Unexpectedly, she tripped. Meanwhile, the person covered in a gray blanket slowly sat up.

Her dark hair was a little messy. Her devilish eyes glanced at Situ Yaorao and said, "Huh? Isn't this Miss Situ? Shouldn't you be at Gu's house?"

"Hehe... Yunluo, shouldn't you be on the roof of the Gu family waiting for the flower thief now?"

Situ Yaorao asked back with a forced smile.

"Miss? Huh? Where is Miss?" Lian'er, who was drunk and in Situ Weixing's arms, struggled to run over when she heard Situ Yaorao's name. Seeing Situ Yaorao, she burst into tears. Then, she fell on top of Situ Yaorao. Situ Yaorao was so scared that she really didn't know what to say.

"What's going on?"

"Lian'er missed you, so she is not in a good mood. The little follower you brought back from the Prince's Mansion started drinking with her. Xiaobai came over to watch the show because he thought it was interesting. As for Mu Tou over there, I don't know what he is doing. As for Master Yunluo... he said he was sleepy all day and wanted to catch up on some sleep. He fell asleep right there. None of us wanted to move him, so we covered him with a blanket." Yu Sheng, who was still drinking on the side, explained lightly.

But Situ Yaorao felt that it would be better not to explain.

Looking at the house that was almost cleaned up, Situ Yaorao really wanted to beat them to death.

"What have you done to my restaurant?"

"Calm down, isn't it? We haven't opened yet. It won't be like this after we open." Yu Sheng saw Situ Yaorao was angry and hurriedly stood up and walked over. She explained a little tiredly.

Upon hearing this, the veins on Situ Yaorao's forehead throbbed even more violently. "Not open yet?" Situ Yaorao's tone rose eight degrees. "If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to open my shop for the rest of my life! Let me ask you, those jars upstairs, have no one touched them?"

"That's not the case. Lian'er gave instructions when she came back. But what exactly are those things?" Yu Sheng asked in confusion. Situ Yaorao glanced at Yu Sheng and said, "You'll know soon. But not now." Then she rushed upstairs. Right now, nothing was as important to her as the fruit wine.

These things were the beginning of her business and also the beginning of her life in Lanlin.

Rather than being a young lady who can do nothing, it is better to be a boss who can dominate everything. Situ Yaorao thought very clearly, so the importance of these things to her was self-evident.

After checking the jars, Situ Yaorao felt much better and went downstairs. At this point, except for the drunken Lian'er, everyone else had perked up and was watching Situ Yaorao slowly walk down from upstairs.

Situ Yaorao looked at everyone and said calmly, "From today on, I will come back and live here. The restaurant will open as soon as possible. It's time to discuss the details with you."

"Boss, just say it straight." Xiaobai's attitude was indifferent. He glanced at Situ Yaorao, wondering what he was thinking. Wu, on the other hand, was still sharpening his wooden sword.

Yu Sheng wasn't particularly interested in Situ Yaorao's affairs. All he wanted to do was help Situ Yaorao manage things in the future. This, he thought, was his way of thanking her.

Nothing could have satisfied him more than Lan Qinglou. Yu Sheng wasn't exactly a good person, but he knew that a favor must be repaid. Because of Situ Yaorao, he'd learned about Qinghe's situation, and because of Situ Yaorao, he'd been able to overcome his grief. And even more so, because of Situ Yaorao, he was able to stay here instead of becoming homeless.

He knew all too well the feeling of being homeless. It was like being abandoned by the whole world. He never wanted to experience it again.

"I asked you all to come here to pour the wine. To serve as wine waiters. It sounds simple, but it's not easy. When pouring the wine, your movements must be graceful and your attitude must be respectful. And, most importantly, you must use your looks to intoxicate the female guests before they even drink. As for the male guests, I'll have some female wine waiters serve the wine."

"Is this really a restaurant?" Xiaobai asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Situ Yaorao said decisively.

"So, where's the wine?" Xiaobai continued to ask. He felt a little resistant to what Situ Yaorao had just said. How was this any different from asking him to sell his body?

"The wine is being brewed, but I promise that it will be the wine, not you, that will attract customers." Situ Yaorao looked at these people and said solemnly.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and finally agreed.

"Weixing, go and carry Lian'er back to her room." Situ Yaorao glanced at the unconscious Lian'er and said lightly. Upon hearing this, Situ Weixing carried Lian'er upstairs.

"Xiaobai, Wu. You two should do whatever you need to do."

"Yes, Boss." Xiaobai said, and stood up and went back to the room. Wu handed the wooden sword to Situ Yaorao: "Here you go." After saying that, he left. Situ Yaorao held the wooden sword in his hand, a little dazed, not knowing what to do.

"What does this... mean?"
