The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

The man shook his head when he heard this. "No, I just thought it was funny. The servants around me only know how to flatter me. They're afraid I'll get angry. There are very few people who treat servants like you do."

"That's wrong. He is not a servant, and I have not signed a contract to sell myself. He is making a living with his own ability, and I should respect him. Mr. Luo, your Luo family has everything, and the management of servants is very strict, but in my opinion, they are not as good as me." Situ Yaorao said.

"Who knows. The Luo family has been like this for too long. No one will change. And there is no need to change." said the man.

"That's true, but would you like to come with me to take a look at the village?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and invited him.

After hearing this, Luo Qiushen thought about it and nodded: "Okay. I also want to see the negotiation style of Lan Qinglou." Luo Qiushen is always interested in things he has never come into contact with, because he always thinks that maybe that thing can really make him feel interesting.

However, he was always disappointed. This time, he placed his hopes on Situ Yaorao. Looking at Situ Yaorao, he felt anticipation.

The shopkeeper, influenced by Yu Sheng's earlier experience, had already assumed Situ Yaorao's willingness to work was more reliable than the sky falling. So, he quickly prepared the carriage for Situ Yaorao's departure, fearing she might change her mind. This lightning-fast pace left Situ Yaorao feeling both amused and helpless.

But he felt warm in his heart, knowing that the shopkeeper was really thinking about Lan Qinglou.

After getting on the carriage, Situ Yaorao closed her eyes and began to rest, thinking about how to make Luo Qiushen beside her let down his guard in the next few days, and laughed.

"Actually, the people in the villages surrounding the capital are very simple and unsophisticated. They're afraid of being bullied, so they stick to their ways. But, precisely because of this, they haven't picked up the bad habits of the people in the capital. Going there, you don't have to worry about the stressful things in the city. I've been so busy lately, I just want to take this time to relax."

Situ Yaorao pretended to speak casually.

Luo Qiushen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. At the same time, he remembered the news circulating today: Situ Yaorao suing Qian Shui'er. This matter was being discussed in the Luo family, but most people were just watching the fun.

In the eyes of the Luo family, embarrassing things in the court are what they want to see.

"You?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao and was about to ask why she did that when he saw her looking out with a smile. She looked very quiet and cute.

He couldn't bear to break the peace, so he withdrew the question he wanted to ask.

Taohua Village was only half a day's drive from the capital. Situ Yaorao only needed time to sleep in the carriage before she arrived at the entrance of Taohua Village. When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Taohua Village, the villagers became alert. They stared at Situ Yaorao from the village gate, as if they were looking at an enemy. This attitude left Situ Yaorao stunned.

This, she was said to be kind and simple, she was said to be just conservative! Why does she hate her so much?

"Excuse me, is this Taohua Village?" Situ Yaorao asked from outside, looking at the people in the village. Inside the village, a man walked up to the wooden door at the entrance and glared at Situ Yaorao: "It's you Beijing people again! What are you doing here? You are not welcome here. The old village chief has been injured by you, and his life is in danger. What else do you want to do!"

"Eh? This is my first time here, how could I have done it?" Situ Yaorao felt very aggrieved.

"Hmph! Even if you didn't do it, you're not a good person. Our village doesn't welcome outsiders like you! Go away!" the big man said. Situ Yaorao was helpless after hearing this.

The entrance to the village was sealed by a wooden gate. In front of it was a large road, and on the other side of the road was the real Taoyuan Village. Taoyuan Village was surrounded by peach trees. At this time, many people in the village had already arrived at the gate.

Situ Yaorao looked at these people and felt a little embarrassed. She had come here to bring Luo Qiushen to experience the simple customs of the people. How could she be rejected at the door? Thinking about it, Situ Yaorao said, "Everyone, we are from the Lanqinglou in the capital. We want to buy the peaches here to make fruit wine. The price is ten times the market price, but the prerequisite is that the people in the village allow us to pick them on the spot. We can guarantee that no one will disturb the tranquility here. May I go in and talk?"

Situ Yaorao asked.

"Bah! Who are you kidding?! With something this good, you'd come to us?" The big man was clearly unconvinced. Situ Yaorao pondered for a moment, then produced a silver note worth one thousand taels. "How about this? Consider it a deposit? Could you let me into the village to discuss it? I'm not bringing anyone here. Just me and this young master." Situ Yaorao had already done her best to convey her innocence.

Where had these villagers ever seen so much silver? Looking at Situ Yaorao again, there were really only two people. After discussing for a while, they slowly opened the door.

"Let's go?" Situ Yaorao looked at Luo Qiushen beside her and said lightly. Luo Qiushen nodded after hearing this, but he still didn't quite understand what Situ Yaorao meant.

Why do you have to bring him along?

"Who do you think he is? What do he want to do? Let me tell you first, our village has been guarding this place for generations and we will never sell it." The villager looked at Situ Yaorao coldly and said.

Situ Yaorao smiled when she heard this: "Don't worry, I really am here to seek cooperation. My restaurant needs fruits, but I'm worried that others will cheat me, so I thought of looking for some fruit trees in the village. The people in Taoyuan Village have done my maid a favor, so I agreed to come here. So, this is what happened now." Situ Yaorao's words made these people half-believing and half-doubting.

Among them, the leading burly man frowned and said, "My father did save a woman, but you have to tell me her name."

"Her name is Lian'er."

"Lian'er? Isn't this the little girl the village chief rescued before?" said a woman.

“It seems to be her!”

"Yes, I remember that, too," the villagers echoed. Situ Yaorao breathed a sigh of relief. The leading man smiled upon hearing this: "So we're family. Come on, let's go to my house for a drink. My father would be very happy if he knew you brought us such a big business!"

"Okay." Situ Yaorao said, but hesitated for a moment: "You said before that the village chief was injured, and then said that someone wanted to buy this place? I wonder what happened?"

When Situ Yaorao mentioned this, everyone fell silent.
