The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

However, she was betting on the emperor's love. Although it shouldn't be said this way, it can only be said that Situ Yaorao was seeking death. How could the emperor have feelings? Even if he did, how could it be as she imagined?

The emperor's love wasn't limited to the relationship between men and women. Emperors had too much to consider. For the sake of the people and the court, they often did things that didn't suit their own wishes. Situ Yaorao's gamble was too elusive.

"Situ, you've gone crazy." Yu Sheng sighed.

Situ Yaorao knew what he meant, but she didn't get angry. She just said, "Perhaps. But, without madness, there's no life. For me, there's nothing wrong with being crazy."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you made the wrong bet? Have you ever thought about what would happen if the Situ family caused the Crown Prince to fail to ascend the throne? Although you believe in the Crown Prince, it does not mean that he will definitely become the emperor. Do you, Situ, just want to watch the Crown Prince go to a dead end?"

Yu Sheng questioned.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao pondered for a long moment before saying, "If that's really the case, then I'll probably die with him. That way, when we meet again in the next life, I'll repay him everything."

"Can I know why?" Yu Sheng frowned.

"Loyalty, filial piety, and friendship have always been inseparable. My mother has feelings for the Situ family. If she leaves the Situ family, it would probably be more painful than death. But the Situ family... will not side with the Crown Prince because of my mother or me. All I can do is to ensure the safety of the Situ family on this basis. This is my responsibility."

"Responsibility? It's ridiculous to hear such words coming out of your mouth. Do you really know what responsibility is? If you knew, you wouldn't have put everything in the restaurant on me. Situ, even if you say it, you have to find a good excuse." Yu Sheng was helpless.

Situ Yaorao, however, had a serious expression on her face: "I'm not lying. To me, the Situ family is my responsibility. I'm alive because of the Situ family. Even though the people of the Situ family treat me badly, but... I have to do what I have to do. This is a promise I made to others. If I break this promise, I will no longer be myself."

Situ Yaorao sighed softly.

Yu Sheng fell silent upon hearing this. Situ Yaorao wasn't someone so frivolous as to joke about something like this. It was just that she was really taking an unconventional approach.

"Situ, even so, if you can, you should help the prince."

"Oh! Not to mention doing what I can, I can even do it by resorting to every possible means. It's just that it's not suitable for King Xiaoyao." Situ Yaorao looked at Yu Sheng with a clear look in his eyes.

Yu Sheng was slightly surprised when she heard this.

"Why do you look so surprised? Do you really think I don't know why you're telling me so much? You told me all this simply because you want me to fight for King Xiaoyao. But Yusheng, King Xiaoyao is like poison, ready to kill everyone around him at any time. His identity, his situation, and... those secrets that I can't see through are all too dangerous. If you knew he was coming back, and the Sixth Prince knew too, then why didn't the Crown Prince know too? He knew, but he did nothing. Even Tan Tai Yun Yi didn't help the Crown Prince. This says it all. King Xiaoyao can't stay."

Situ Yaorao's words made Yu Sheng even more helpless.

"Maybe he really shouldn't have come back. Isn't it better to live alone outside? I don't know what's wrong with him that he has to run back to a place like this." Yu Sheng said with some resentment.

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with King Xiaoyao's self-destructive behavior. However, Situ Yaorao smiled and said, "Maybe he had to come back for a reason."

"Have to come back?"

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know either. However, I have a rough guess. This matter... started in Xunyang City. Until now, it has not ended. And the person behind this matter is also enjoying the fun of the game. As for why? It is unknown." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Yu Sheng was even more confused.

"Yusheng, don't get involved, and don't be curious." Situ Yaorao repeated the same request that Tantai Wuyue had made to her. Yusheng nodded. "Since you've said this, if I still don't listen, wouldn't that be too unkind?"

"It's always good to trust me." Situ Yaorao smiled and followed Yu Sheng upstairs. After going upstairs, Yu Sheng handed her the account book and said, "You have to check the account yourself in the future."

"Well...what do you think about processing the house?"

"We're already choosing a location. Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you." Yu Sheng gestured to Situ Yaorao to relax. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao fell silent.

Naturally, she was worried, not because of Yu Sheng, but because she was worried that someone would do something bad to this matter.

She values ​​this restaurant very much because of the money issue.

If Tan Tai Wu Yue really wanted to ascend to the throne in the future, then without a substantial amount of assets, it would be impossible. Perhaps this idea was a bit presumptuous. But she hoped to become a force for Tan Tai Wu Yue.

She doesn't have much time left, and this is all she can do.

Thinking of the moonlight poison on her body, Situ Yaorao felt a little resentful. If she didn't have a loved one, she might just think nothing mattered. After all, living or dying wasn't very important to her. She didn't want anything, and she didn't expect anything.

But now it’s different, she wants to stay with that person forever.

However, all of this was ruined by the poison.

"Yusheng, is there a way to cure the Yuehua poison?" Situ Yaorao couldn't help but ask, even though Feng Ziqi had already told her.

"You want to detoxify? If it's Doctor Bupo, there should be some way." Yu Sheng said.

"Bupo...?" Situ Yaorao thought of the genius doctor Bupo. Ever since this man came to the capital, he has been elusive, which is really worrying.

"Situ, don't think too much. You are a good person and you will survive." Yu Sheng thought Situ Yaorao was afraid of death, so she comforted him.

This made Situ Yaorao laugh and cry. Is she a good person?

Maybe so.

She would never do evil, and she even died while saving someone. If that were the case, she was indeed a good person.

"Yu Sheng, go and do your own thing. I'll take care of this." Situ Yaorao opened the account book and began to record carefully, just like Yu Sheng before, very meticulous.

Seeing her like this, Yu Sheng felt relieved and went out to deal with the work of processing the house.

Everything is now on track in Lan Qinglou. If there is anything wrong, it is nothing more than the customers who come every day to buy fruit wine.

However, I think Situ Yaorao has a way to deal with it.

In fact, just as Yu Sheng had imagined, the steward arrived and opened the door immediately. He then went upstairs to report to Situ Yaorao and began to instruct the servants. Guests also began to come in one after another.

After Situ Yaorao sorted out the accounts, she had a partial understanding of the restaurant.

Since the restaurant opened, it has earned over 200,000 taels of silver, and that's after deducting all expenses. This figure made Situ Yaorao quite satisfied. After all, this was earned despite the restaurant's restrictions on alcohol sales.

Once the restaurant's processing house is completed, the restaurant's sales will surely increase. Then, she can truly rest easy. Furthermore, as the restaurant continues to grow and the chain stores continue to increase, the money will only increase, not decrease.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao's mood improved a lot.

"Master Si, a guest came to visit and said he wanted to buy some wine."

When the steward's voice sounded, Situ Yaorao felt a toothache and asked, "Where is the person?"

"In the ground-floor room on the second floor."

"I understand." Situ Yaorao said, walked out, and said to the manager, "Take me there."

"Yes."

"Does anyone come to buy wine every day?" Situ Yaorao couldn't help asking.

"To answer Master Si, our restaurant is not short of customers like this. Everyone is looking to get a piece of the action, and it's these people that Master Yusheng spends a large portion of his time every day dealing with."

"What a trouble." Situ Yaorao said with disdain.
