After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Guan Yan was somewhat annoyed after leaving. He had finally managed to find an opportunity to get close to the grandson of the Grand Tutor in order to attend the book appreciation banquet hosted by the sons of nobles.

Who knew that he originally only wanted to fish in troubled waters behind Chen Baosheng, but he saw him slandering the book "Between Square Inches", and he naturally could not tolerate it.

For him, it was only because of this book, this bookstore, and even because of Mr. Ye's help that he was able to afford medicine for his mother.

Moreover, he could tell that these women really liked the book, which was why they held this book appreciation banquet. He was glad that someone liked it, so naturally he couldn't just sit idly by.

On the way back, Guan Yan had a bitter smile on his face. He had offended Chen Baosheng, and he was afraid that his days at the academy would not be easy from now on.

Meanwhile, the Zhiyu Bookstore on the other side was very quiet. Ye Yuwu had made a lot of money after three issues of books and magazines.

She first paid the wages for the three people still in the palace: Uncle Li, Huaping, and the newly hired waiter Anxin for this month, and even gave them a raise.

Hua Ping had never received this much pay before when she worked in the manor. She hesitated to accept the money, saying, "Miss, I... I didn't do anything wrong. It's not worth paying so much."

“Who said you didn’t do anything? I’ve seen it all: you helped me promote the books, you went with me to place orders outside the bookstore, and when more people came to buy books, you helped me share the burden. In my opinion, you’ve done a lot. I couldn’t have kept going without you.”

Ye Yuwu looked at Huaping, who was feeling uncomfortable after being praised by her, and felt a little sorry for her. She had been keeping her company for the past two months, staying up late and working hard, even busier than when she was in the manor. She felt a little guilty.

“Girl, these are things I should do, and I feel very happy. I’m full of energy every day, which is something I never had before. It’s as if I’m living for myself.”

Sometimes when she had free time, she would read books in the bookstore; she read a lot of books.

Only then could she see a different world from the books, and only then could she know what kind of world the outside world was like.

Her horizons gradually broadened, and she came to understand that there are always people more capable than herself and that there is always something beyond her reach. She found her life very fulfilling.

Ye Yuwu looked at the starlight in Huaping's eyes, and just looking at her, she felt gratified, because she could really feel Huaping's transformation.

"The bookstore is going to be renovated in a few days, and I haven't given you any days off yet! How about I give you a few days off?"

"Really? Thank you so much, Manager Ye!" An Xing was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

Li Bo remained silent, which was uncharacteristic of him, and was therefore tacitly agreed.

Ye Yuwu turned to Huaping and asked, "Huaping, it seems you haven't been home for a long time! I heard that your father and brother are from Bianjing. Why don't you go back and visit them in the next few days?"

Hua Ping hesitated for a moment, "I'm going back. What about you, young lady? Can you manage to oversee the bookstore renovations all by yourself?"

Huaping was somewhat worried about her young lady. The young lady looked petite and frail, and the work was being done by men. She was afraid that this delicate young lady would be bullied, and she was not by her side.

Ye Yuwu smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, my little Huaping, just trust your girl. I'll be fine on my own. Besides, you must miss your family a lot. It would be good to go back and see them."

Hua Ping lowered her head and remained silent. The longing in her eyes was almost bursting out when Ye Yuwu poked it open.

"Then be careful, girl, I'll be back soon."

"Okay, no rush," she said with a smile.

Once Hua Ping left, the bookstore was empty, and the people Ye Yuwu had hired began to renovate it according to her requirements.

The previous bookstore had dilapidated walls and a small interior, so she negotiated with a neighboring shop and managed to take over the shop, combining it with her bookstore to create a much larger space.

She also introduced a batch of new books, all by famous scholars. Some of these books were delivered to bookstores, and after reading some of them and finding them good, she agreed to publish them.

Her goal is to expand her bookstore, but this is still somewhat difficult at the moment, since she doesn't have many connections. However, if she takes it one step at a time, she will eventually succeed.

After the bookstore expanded, she had to hire more people; otherwise, with so much to do, she wouldn't have time to write books.

As more and more people submitted their books, she had to read more and more stories, which was undoubtedly a huge undertaking.

She couldn't help but spend time reviewing those books, after all, she had very high standards for their quality.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she had a general idea in mind.

In that case, why not set up an editorial department specifically for reviewing books?

But she still needs to think carefully about this candidate.

While Ye Yuwu was still pondering, Huaping had already returned home.

When Huaping's younger brother saw the figure standing at the door, he was initially incredulous. He wiped his eyes before he dared to believe it, and then he hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs to the person inside the house.

"Father, elder sister, elder sister is back."

The younger brother's shouts brought the people inside the room out.

A white-haired man dressed in coarse linen clothes rushed out of the door. When he saw the familiar figure outside, he couldn't hold back his tears. He was about to step towards her when Huaping grabbed him first and hugged him.

"Father..."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

They then went inside. Although the main room was somewhat dilapidated, it was neat and clean.

Huaping's father kept staring at his daughter. "She's gotten a bit chubby, and her face is rounder. It seems her family is quite good."

It had been three years since they last met. When Huaping heard her father's words, she felt like crying again, but she managed to hold back.

Then Huaping's father asked her how she was doing, and Huaping only told him the good things.

Hua Ping's father and younger brother are both honest and hardworking people. Currently, they run a breakfast stall outside.

Now that life is better, they want Huaping to go home and find a good man to marry in a few years, which would fulfill her deceased mother's wish.

If it were the old Huaping, she would have thought the same way. Originally, she planned to wait until her daughter got married and she had saved enough money to redeem herself, and then go home to get married. But now Huaping has her own ideas.

“Father, Li Shen, I want to follow my daughter. I want to have the skills to make a living like her before I think about getting married.”

A clear pool of water rippled in Huaping's eyes, her large eyes shone with light, and her shimmering pupils reflected the unique beauty blooming deep within her heart.

"Is this the young lady from the Tai family you mentioned? I've heard about her. My dear, you're going to be with her now..."

She didn't need to worry about her father's concerns. "Father, you don't need to worry. I'm doing very well now, aren't I..."

Huaping took the purse out of her sleeve and showed it to her father.

"This is my monthly allowance. I'm giving it all to you, Dad, so you can buy some meat for the family."

When Huaping's father saw this, his eyes widened instantly. "My daughter, this is more than the salary you get at the Tai Mansion!"

"Yes, my daughter said that those who are capable should do more work, and I will earn more money if I do a good job in the future!"

"This, this young lady is too amazing. You keep the money for yourself, your father's family is not short of money."

"Then I'll take half, and Dad, you can buy more food with the other half. Don't be stingy with yourself; you're usually too frugal..."

"Alright, alright...daughter, tell your father about your young lady. From your brief description, she seems quite capable. You should work diligently by her side."

"Yes, Father..."
