The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao's smile widened. "Oh? Then I should definitely ask for your advice. After all, I'll be managing this huge mansion in the future, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't know anything."

Mu Lingwan still had a smile on her face, but in her heart she had already begun to secretly hate Situ Yaorao. If it weren't for this woman, her housekeeper rights wouldn't have been taken away.

If it weren't for this woman, the prince would have made her his consort in a few years. Even if he didn't love her, at least she would be different from others.

Everything is about the woman in front of me.

Mu Lingwan vented her anger for a moment, then looked at Situ Yaorao with a more sincere smile on her face. "Sister, the Crown Prince is away now, and it's almost the day when the Queen Mother will be worshipping Buddha. What do you think?"

The current Empress Dowager is a Buddhist and every year she would set a date to stay in a temple for a period of time. The women from the various royal palaces would also go with her and copy Buddhist scriptures for a month.

There weren't many opportunities to be close to the Empress Dowager, so only two people from each residence could go.

Situ Yaorao knew she was talking about this, so she said, "Sister, come with me. I think if the prince were here, he would probably make the same choice."

Situ Yaorao's words were exactly what Mu Lingwan wanted. After getting a satisfactory answer, Mu Lingwan bowed and said, "Thank you, sister."

"That's fine, but I have to go out for something and can't take care of my sister." Situ Yaorao ordered them to leave. Mu Lingwan didn't show her dissatisfaction, but simply bowed respectfully and left.

After Mu Lingwan left, Situ Yaorao returned to her room, changed into men's clothing, and quietly left the Prince's Mansion, not even taking Lian'er with her.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Situ Yaorao went straight to her Lan Qinglou.

Today, Lan Qing Lou is a well-known restaurant in the capital. Its fruit wine is the most famous, but the daily supply is limited, making it difficult to drink to your heart's content.

As a result, Lan Qinglou is always packed every day.

When Situ Yaorao was about to enter, she was stopped by the servant at the door: "Sir, the fruit wine is sold out today, and the building is full of guests."

"I'm here to look for someone." Situ Yaorao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She was stopped by her own servant in front of her restaurant. Should she say that these people were dedicated, or should she feel sad that she, a hands-off boss, was too clean?

"I wonder who this young man is looking for?" The clothes that Situ Yaorao was wearing were made of brocade that was worth thousands of gold per foot. Only wealthy families in the capital could afford it. In addition, Situ Yaorao looked so noble that the two servants did not dare to neglect her.

"I'm looking for your boss, Master Yusheng." Situ Yaorao said.

The two servants were even more surprised. However, they hesitated: "This... the boss doesn't meet people easily."

"It's okay, just report it. If there is any punishment, I will naturally help you get rid of it. Oh, by the way, tell him that there is a big deal. He will regret it if he doesn't come." Situ Yaorao was really afraid that Yu Sheng would not know it was him and would refuse to let him in, so she added this sentence.

Hearing that it was a big deal, the doorman really didn't dare to stop them. So one of the two men went into the house and told the housekeeper, who hurried upstairs to invite Yu Sheng.

On the second floor of the Lan Qinglou, a man was fiddling with an abacus, his brows furrowed, as if he was in trouble.

The steward went upstairs and saw Yu Sheng like this, and was a little scared. But when he thought about the people downstairs saying it was a big deal, he could only say, "Master Yu Sheng."

"What's up?" Yu Sheng glanced at the man. He was a bit plump, but fair-skinned. He was the steward he had recruited from outside. He had assigned everyone who was originally in the restaurant to other locations. As for Wu and Xiaobai, they were elusive and completely unreliable. He had asked Ziyu and Zisu to manage the affairs in Xunyang City. This had made things even busier in the capital. When he wasn't recruiting stewards, he was busy. When he was, he was even busier.

Yu Sheng was a little crazy.

"Master Yusheng, there is a young man outside who wants to see you. He said there is a big deal. If you don't go, you will definitely regret it." The manager said respectfully.

"Regret? I regret it now!" Yu Sheng was gloomy. This manager was good in every way except for one thing: he didn't know how to share his worries. The restaurant was so busy now that all the big clients were asking for the rights to be the fruit wine distributor.

But the problem is that the restaurant doesn’t have enough fruit wine, so where can we get it for them?

But despite this thought, Yu Sheng still wouldn't neglect any of the customers who came. After all, these people were prominent figures in the capital. Who knew they would be of use at any time? Even if they weren't, she couldn't afford to offend them. Otherwise, the restaurant wouldn't be able to survive in the long run.

Thinking about this, Yu Sheng glanced at the steward and said resignedly, "Lead the way."

The steward was respectful. Then he went downstairs, invited Situ Yaorao up, found a room for her and said, "Sir, please wait here for a moment. My boss will be here soon." After that, the steward went to Yu Sheng's room and invited Yu Sheng out.

"Master Yusheng, this is the room."

"Yes." Yu Sheng nodded, wondering who this visitor might be. He'd already entertained every wealthy family in the capital during this time. Who else would want to take over the restaurant? Filled with doubts, Yu Sheng pushed open the door.

However, upon seeing the figure in the room, Yu Sheng, who had been puzzled, turned pale, as if he had seen the murderer of his father. He rushed in, slammed the door, and ordered, "Go away! No one is allowed to come in without my permission." With that, he closed the door. The steward had never seen Yu Sheng look so ferocious. After all, Yu Sheng was usually a gentle gentleman who rarely lost his temper.

What happened today scared the person in charge.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Yusheng, you've become even more irritable." Situ Yaorao looked at Yusheng with a teasing smile. Hearing this, Yusheng wished she could strangle the woman in front of her to death.

"Violent? Then do you know why I am so violent?" Yu Sheng said fiercely.

"How should I know?" Situ Yaorao said calmly. Seeing this, Yu Sheng just wanted to strangle him to death.

"You damn hands-off boss! The restaurant is getting busier and busier, but where are you?" Yu Sheng was about to rush over and strangle someone. Situ Yaorao was embarrassed: "Hey! Didn't I get married? Look, the Crown Prince left right before I came to see you. Anyone who didn't know would think that I, the Crown Princess, had a man outside. And you still say I'm a hands-off boss? Is there anyone more responsible than me?"

"Responsibility doesn't suit you." Yu Sheng's face was expressionless. He finally understood the saying, "Evil will always be dealt with." Back when he was in the Yu family, he didn't care about anything. He was a hands-off boss, leaving all household responsibilities to his two sisters. He lived a carefree life on his own, letting the Yu family mess around without him caring. That was until he met Lan Yi and left the Yu family.

But even after opening Lan Yige, he still didn't care about anything because Qinghe was by his side and she did everything for him that he didn't want to do.

He really never dreamed that this day would come!

Situ Yaorao was a vampire. No matter how hard you tried to escape, she'd find a way to get you to stay! Furthermore, even if she said nothing, she still wanted to run the restaurant well. This was what Yu Sheng couldn't accept the most.

When did he become so positive?

Yu Sheng began to doubt her life.

When dealing with those around you, you need to use both kindness and authority. Situ Yaorao had shown favors to Yu Sheng. Similarly, she had also caused Yu Sheng much suffering. If it weren't for Yu Sheng's belief that she had business acumen, she would have left the restaurant long ago.

Everyone has their own bottom line. Situ Yaorao is very clear about this. Looking at Yu Sheng's frantic expression, Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that Yu Sheng really couldn't stand it anymore.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao stood up and bowed to Yusheng. "I'm sorry, I've been so busy these days because of trivial matters. The Crown Prince has been away in the south recently, and I have no interest in the Crown Prince's Mansion, so I will manage this restaurant. Yusheng, you can rest for a while."

"Really?" Yu Sheng was skeptical. You know, every time Situ Yaorao said she wouldn't leave, she would disappear within two days.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do you think I'm here today? To laugh at you?" Situ Yaorao asked back, pretending to be angry.
