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

To say that Ye Yuwu didn't read the letters because she didn't care wouldn't be true. In fact, she cared a lot. No one can be indifferent to the books they write; after all, the books are like their own children.

She couldn't tolerate the people who scolded her child, so she stayed up all night to scold them one by one.

The next day, large dark circles appeared on her face. Because her skin was fair and her face had few blemishes, the dark circles became even more noticeable. In the bookstore, everyone who passed by her would ask her what was wrong.

Ye Yuwu was stubborn and refused to admit that she had spent the entire night writing back to all those who had insulted her.

In the end, fearing discovery, he secretly asked someone to mail the letter, lest his residence be discovered.

What if I actually send her razor blades, the kind that's delivered to you cash on delivery? It'll be a bloody mess!

Ye Yuwu sighed, sat in a corner of the bookstore, and pondered life.

Before she could figure it out, a shadow fell over her head, and her long eyelashes fluttered incessantly.

"What's wrong? Getting discouraged already?" Someone's annoying voice rang out from above her head.

Just when she thought Qi Jingyue was going to comfort her, since that's how it's written in novels, although she didn't know if she was considered a protagonist.

Before she could prepare herself to listen attentively and be moved to tears, a dagger appeared before her eyes.

Startled, she jumped up from the stool in a flash, and the thoughts of "sending razor blades" and "white knife in, red knife out" immediately popped into her mind.

"What do you want to do?"

Seriously? Could this guy have been turned by outsiders and finally decided to kill her because he can't stand her anymore?!

Qi Jingyue didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, and even the hand holding the dagger became a little unnatural.

Qi Jingyue then understood, and looked speechlessly at the woman standing three meters away from him.

"What are you thinking! This dagger is for self-defense."

Ye Yuwu looked and saw that the blade of the dagger he was holding was facing his palm, while the hilt was pointing towards her.

"Sorry, brother, I misunderstood you. Why did you have to pull out the dagger when I was thinking about this? Isn't that a conditioned reflex?" Ye Yuwu thought to himself.

"Ahem, why are you giving me a dagger? I probably won't need it."

Qi Jingyue chuckled, "Who said it's useless? You should take a look at how many people have come to the bookstore recently."

If he hadn't sent people to guard outside the bookstore, those people outside would have already come in and smashed things. Even with the increased manpower, it was still no match for the people outside cursing at the bookstore.

This is also the reason why Ye Yuwu is so dejected today. Everyone in the bookstore saw it and knew that she wanted to be alone, so they didn't disturb her. It was Qi Jingyue who couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to come over and talk to her.

On the other side, a few people huddled together deep in the second-floor corridor, secretly watching them through the wooden railing.

"What's going on? I feel like something's not right." These words came from Zhang Rouyan, who was squatting at the bottom of the railing.

"What's wrong? It's just a normal conversation between sisters." Xue Ting said this.

"Is this normal?" She seemed to be giving him a slightly indulgent look.

Qingming is usually very cold to them, never acknowledging a single word from them. Even when Anxing frantically tried to please Qingming, she never even glanced at him.

Could it be what she's thinking?! Zhang Rouyan's mind raced, filled with wild imaginings, and she was practically steaming with frustration.

No wonder! No wonder! Recalling how Manager Ye suddenly disappeared, Qingming immediately ran out to look for him. But as far as she knew, they hadn't known each other for very long then. Could it have been love at first sight, and then falling for each other again?!

She realized! It turned out that Qingming had a crush on Manager Ye, but because they were both women, she dared not confess and could only protect them silently. Therefore, she kept her distance from them in daily life, for fear that Manager Ye would misunderstand and become jealous.

Since she likes Manager Ye, she would never let any other man get close to her. Poor An Xing is still completely unaware, thinking that he will eventually win Qingming's heart! What a love triangle!

Zhang Rouyan suddenly stood up, looking as if she had just had a profound realization, which made the two girls look at her frequently.

What's going on? What happened? Why did Rouyan suddenly have an epiphany?

"Hurry up, don't disturb them!" Zhang Rouyan urged them back to the book repair department.

Two girls: ?

No! How could I disturb you from this distance?

Don't ask, it's just a form of remote mental disturbance!

Ye Yuwu accepted the dagger. She felt that Qingming's concerns were justified. She wondered why these people had become so hostile lately, to the point of coming to the bookstore to curse.

She cursed with every vile word imaginable, fearing that someone might lead a group to come in and smash things, so Ye Yuwu also paid someone to do so.

Meanwhile, in the Tianxia Teahouse on the other side, Manager Ma was leisurely sipping his tea.

The waiter went inside and closed the door.

"Shopkeeper, it's done. Those people, under our guidance, really harbor a lot of resentment towards Zhiyu Bookstore. The opera performances have stopped, and I heard that the tea shop has been smeared with dirty water every day. Today, it couldn't hold on any longer and has to close down temporarily."

"And who are the people who came to our teahouse today?"

"Just as the shopkeeper predicted, there are more people coming than before!" The waiter squinted his eyes happily.

"Fine! Send some more people to cause trouble at Zhiyu Bookstore. As long as we can create chaos, I don't believe the bookstore won't close down! Let's see if that little girl is still so arrogant then!"

"The shopkeeper is brilliant!"

As evening fell, Manager Gao of Chayunhe arrived, accompanied by Wu Hualing, who also looked troubled.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you all down." Ye Yuwu's expression was apologetic.

"Manager Ye, please don't say such things. If it weren't for your cooperation with Chayun, we probably would have closed down long ago. We wouldn't be living such a good life now," Manager Gao said, surprised by her words.

Manager Gao noticed Ye Yuwu's fatigue.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yuwu finally voiced her decision, "This is the result of our joint efforts, not just my achievement. Now that 'Starfall Rain' is being criticized and disliked, you can find other bookstores to cooperate with and promote other books to get through this period." She couldn't guarantee anything else.

"Manager Ye, are you no longer cooperating with our teahouse?" Manager Gao asked, somewhat surprised.

Manager Gao, Ye Yuwu, sighed, "You should know that it's not that I don't want to, but if we cooperate again, your teahouse will have to go out of business."

"Manager Ye, I am not a heartless person. I made a lot of money from storytelling before, enough to last for a while. Now that your bookstore is being slandered, I cannot sit idly by."

"Manager Gao, what do you mean?" Ye Yuwu didn't expect Manager Gao to say such a thing.

"Of course I support you. I've already thought it through. We'll continue the book review for the next few days, focusing on 'Starfall Rain'! I also plan to hold a special book appreciation banquet. Anyone who can write a review after reading the book and receive praise from everyone will receive twenty taels of silver!"

"Huh?" I didn't understand why the topic suddenly shifted to this.

When Manager Gao saw her raise her eyebrows, he assumed Ye Yuwu was worried.

"Is Manager Ye afraid that the books presented at the book-tasting banquet will be nothing but insults?" Manager Gao smiled. "How little confidence do you have in your own writings? You have no idea how many people support you. Manager Ye, you will know then that what I'm saying is not unfounded."
