The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"As long as I break off my relationship with the Mo family, I can interact with her?" Mo Zhu looked at Mo Shu and asked lightly.

Mo Shu was stunned when he heard this. Then his face turned grim: "Have you forgotten where my Mo family is?"

"I know. That's why I ask. It's the Mo family that owes me, not me who owes the Mo family. If it weren't for the Mo family, how could I be where I am today?" Mo Zhu's tone was cold, with a hint of anger.

"You, you are really unreasonable! Never mind, I won't argue with you. After all, this is not the Mo family. You can talk about it when we get there." Mo Shu was furious. After saying this, he looked at Situ Yaorao beside him and said in a much calmer tone: "Miss Situ, thank you for taking him in these days, but from today on, he will follow me back to the Mo family."

"Huh?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

"To be honest, Mo Zhu is the heir apparent to the Mo family, so we take his affairs very seriously. It's rare for him to escape from those mountains, so he should naturally return home. Miss Situ should have no objection, right?"

"This is your family affair, why ask her? Go, go, go." The Ninth Prince didn't want to stay here for a moment. He said hurriedly. Situ Yaorao smiled when he heard it: "Indeed, this is your family affair, there is no point asking me. But... Mo Zhu promised me that as long as I help him accomplish something, he will be a cook here. In other words, he is my future employee. Regarding his safety and freedom, I think I still need to ask." After that, Situ Yaorao looked at Mo Zhu and said: "Mo Zhu, are you willing to go back with him? If not, just say it directly. As long as you say it, no one can take you away from me."

Situ Yaorao's words touched Mo Zhu's heart. He knew the Mo Clan too well. Even such a formidable organization, Situ Yaorao actually wanted to rebel. But perhaps it was because she didn't understand?

Mo Zhu has few friends. He is indifferent by nature and his only friend is Yu Sheng. Now when he looks at Situ Yaorao again, he already regards her as a friend in his heart.

However, precisely because of this, he absolutely could not implicate her. Thinking this, Mo Zhu said respectfully, "I promised you that as long as you can do it, I will do it. But now, I think I should go back to the Mo family with him. No matter what, my last name is Mo. Thank you, Situ, for your kindness. Mo Zhu will keep it in mind." After that, he looked at Mo Shu and said coldly, "Let's go."

"Yes." After hearing Mo Zhu agree to go back, Mo Shu's tone improved a little. The Ninth Prince said, "The person you were looking for has been found. I will not get involved in this. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, the Ninth Prince left. Obviously, he didn't want to have too much to do with the Mohist School.

After Mo Zhu and Mo Shu left, Yu Sheng sighed softly. She looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "It took me nearly ten years to become friends with Mo Zhu. And you, Situ, have only been around for a few days, and he's already treating you with genuine affection. It's truly strange."

"That's because you use your brain to make friends, and I use my heart."

"Haha, maybe." Yu Sheng laughed. But she didn't deny it. What these aristocratic families lack most is trust between people. Even if they become friends, there's always a line of defense. If he were Situ Yaorao, he definitely wouldn't agree to what Princess Wuyan did, and naturally, Mo Zhu wouldn't open up to him like that. And there wouldn't be Situ Yaorao's support right now.

So, everything is just because of human behavior.

"Situ, although you and Mo Zhu get along well, there is something I must remind you of."

"What's going on?" Situ Yaorao looked at Yu Sheng in confusion, only to see Yu Sheng's serious face as she replied, "No matter what, you can't get involved in the Mo family's affairs. Not to mention you, everyone in the capital is afraid of getting involved. Even the Ninth Prince is afraid. So, Situ, for your own sake, for the sake of this restaurant, or for Mo Zhu itself, don't get involved."

"What about the matter of Princess Wuyan?" Situ Yaorao said.

Yu Sheng was completely speechless after hearing this. He had just said that she should not get involved, and now he was talking about Princess Wuyan?

"The matter of Princess Wuyan... is probably the last thing you do for Mozhu. As for what happens next, that is not something we can control. If Princess Wuyan doesn't want to be with him, then that is Mozhu's fate." Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao, her tone was very light, but there was a strong sense of helplessness in it.

Yes, it is helpless.

He was the future heir of the Yu family in the capital. Although he had now left the Yu family, he was still well aware of the affairs in the capital. There were some things he could control, but there were others he could never control, even if he died.

The latter is the Mohist school.

"I never know what can be controlled and what cannot be controlled. But since you said so, I naturally won't say much. I will do as you say." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said firmly.

Seeing her agree, Yu Sheng smiled with relief: "That's good."

"Nothing went wrong at the restaurant today, did you?"

"It's no problem that the restaurant hasn't opened yet, but it's almost finished. Situ, do you think it's time to prepare for the opening?"

"Almost finished?" Situ Yaorao looked around in surprise, then ran upstairs to take a closer look. Sure enough, everything was already done as she'd ordered. Now all that was missing were some furnishings. If they wanted, they could open the shop anytime.

Looking at this, Situ Yaorao felt quite complicated.

Going downstairs, Yu Sheng was waiting for her answer. Situ Yaorao walked over and motioned him to sit down. Yu Sheng was puzzled, but still sat down opposite Situ Yaorao.

"Yu Sheng, my restaurant originally wanted to welcome people from all over the capital to come in, so that the restaurant can become famous in the capital." Situ Yaorao said seriously.

"Situ, you have a lot of ideas." Yu Sheng smiled lightly, but said nothing.

"I think my idea is a good one, too. However, today I went to a place called Zhuyue Tower, also known as the Jade Tower. After going there, I finally understood what it meant to have a truly creative idea. If I open the restaurant to everyone, then we wouldn't be able to handle it. And I... want to open restaurants all over the four countries. If I get so caught up in this just because of one restaurant, I won't be able to do anything else. So, I thought about it and made a new decision."

"Oh?" Yu Sheng looked at her with interest.

"Every place needs a system, and the same goes for restaurants. We're just a place for tasting wine, not for filling your stomach. So, after this place becomes famous, I've decided to limit the number of people entering the restaurant each day and limit the amount of wine sold."

"Limited edition?" Yu Sheng became even more interested. If Situ Yaorao proposed a plan similar to Yulou's, a standard one, he would find it boring and might even quit the restaurant.

However, Situ Yaorao's new statement really interested him.

"That's right. We only sell one hundred bottles of fruit wine every day, and no one will be served after the deadline. In this way, people who want to drink will naturally line up, and those who can't get in will miss it all the time. Over time, the restaurant will naturally become popular." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Yu Sheng smiled lightly, with a hint of appreciation in her lazy eyes: "Your idea is not bad. If you do this, it is indeed a good idea. However, at that time, there may be a lot of negative rumors about the restaurant. Can you withstand it?"

"People's words are scary, but if you don't listen to them and don't care about them, then naturally nothing will happen." Situ Yaorao said calmly.

Yu Sheng finally felt relieved: "In that case, I'll listen to you. However, on the first day of the restaurant's opening, we still have to pay what we owe. Otherwise, only a very few people will know how good the wine in this restaurant is, which is useless."

"Hold a wine tasting on opening day. Free tastings. Start implementing that plan the next day. Everyone is welcome, but only a hundred bottles will be sold."

Situ Yaorao made the decision.

"Okay. I'll hire someone to maintain order here. Of course, all this is based on the premise that your wine can be sold."
