Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

Just then, a man seized the opportunity and ran towards Zhaodi and Afu.

He thought Afu and Zhaodi looked like maids and servants, and since they seemed weak and helpless, running to them would be the right thing to do.

But to his surprise, his plan backfired.

Ah Fu doesn't know kung fu, but Zhao Di does.

Seeing the man running towards her, Zhao Di began to rub her hands together in anticipation.

Ever since she encountered thieves during her escape from famine and beat them up, she hasn't laid a hand on them again, but she's been itching to fight back.

Seeing the man brandishing his knife and about to run towards her, Zhao Di squatted down, stretched out her leg slightly, and performed a 360-degree spinning kick, which immediately tripped the man.

The knife in the man's hand clattered to the ground. Zhao Di quickly picked it up, held it to the man's neck, and said in a clear voice, "Don't move~ or don't blame me for being impolite."

I didn't expect these people to be so incompetent; they caught him before they even used a single move.

The man trembled with fear: "Girl, don't be impulsive! This knife has no eyes!"

Zhao Di playfully brandished the knife in her hand: "I don't want your life either, but this knife seems to have a mind of its own~"

The man said with a mournful face, "No, girl, don't scare me."

Zhao Lian gave Zhao Di a thumbs up: "Good job, Second Sister, you haven't lost your kung fu!"

Faced with Zhao Lian's praise, Zhao Di scratched her head and said, "Hehe~"

Zhao Feng, who was looking over from two alleys away, was also stunned when she saw this scene.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lian's kung fu is now so powerful, she looks no less than Song Wenjie. Zhao Di is not bad either, she took down the thief in just a few moves.

Zhao Feng began to regret why she hadn't practiced her kung fu properly back then.

Just then, Zhao Feng suddenly saw the men kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, still talking. Because they were quite far away, Zhao Feng couldn't hear them very clearly.

But there was one sentence she heard clearly: Zhao Feng seemed to hear the person calling for the Emperor.

What? Could this person really be the emperor?

Zhao Feng felt every cell in her body leap with joy. If this person really was the Emperor, then she had to seize the opportunity even more and not let Zhao Lian climb over her head.

"Miss Zhaolian, you are truly skilled! We owe you both a great deal for today. What reward do you two desire? Just tell me!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lian was quite blunt at this moment: "Your Majesty, then I won't stand on ceremony. I want to buy a large shop in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital. As for what kind of business to do, I haven't decided yet."

The Emperor frowned: "Don't you already have a shop? Why do you need to open another one!"

Zhao Lian pouted, "That's a place I opened myself. Didn't you just ask me what reward I wanted? This is what I want. Your Majesty, just tell me if you can give it to me?"

Song Wenjie grew anxious and quickly gave him a wink: "Zhao Lian, you can't be greedy!"

It is said that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. Don't be fooled by the emperor's smile now; who knows what he is thinking!

"Haha~"

The Emperor laughed heartily: "It's alright~ I don't like to keep things to myself. How about this, I'll go back and take a look, and I'll let you know when I have any news."

"Wenjie, what about you? And don't forget you had another wish you didn't mention. With this one, that makes two." The Emperor turned his head to look at Song Wenjie.

Song Wenjie couldn't think of anything for the moment, so he could only shake his head and say, "Let's just remember this for now and put it together with the previous ones!"

After this commotion, the Emperor lost all interest in shopping and prepared to return to the palace. He then ordered Song Wenjie to send the villains to Shuntian Prefecture.

Ah Fu was extremely clever; he had already gone to Shuntian Prefecture and invited Constable Li over.

The Emperor had barely left when Constable Li arrived.

Song Wenjie earnestly instructed, "Officer Li, this is of great importance. The Emperor is watching this matter closely. Please tell your superiors that this case must be thoroughly investigated."

Officer Li clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Rest assured, Lord Song!"

He then waved his hand and ordered the other constables: "Take them back to the mansion and await the magistrate's judgment."

"Zhao Lian, what are you looking at?" Song Wenjie asked when he saw Zhao Lian turning her head to look around.

"It's okay!"

Zhao Lian shook her head. She wasn't sure if she was seeing things.

She thought she had vaguely seen Zhao Feng, but when she tried to get a clearer look, she found that Zhao Feng had vanished.

That's impossible. Zhao Feng is currently at the Governor's Mansion. How could she possibly come out?

"Big brother, I have something to attend to, so Zhao Di and I will be leaving now."

"Alright! Then you'd better be careful."

After all that commotion, it was already noon, and I hadn't eaten lunch yet; my stomach was growling with hunger.

"Second sister, is your stomach growling?"

Zhao Di scratched her head and laughed sheepishly, "Hehe~ little sister, you know I eat a lot. I didn't eat much this morning because I was in a hurry when I left home."

Zhao Lian looked mysterious. "Second sister, don't say anything more, I'll take you to eat something delicious today."

Zhao Di jumped up excitedly: "Really? That's wonderful!"

Zhao Lian took Zhao Di to Zui Chun Lou.

Although it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the restaurant was doing exceptionally well.

At a glance, the lobby was full of people, with no seats available.

The Jordan brothers were extremely busy. When Xiao Er Li Si saw Zhao Lian, he quickly put on a smiling face: "Oh, it's Miss Zhao Lian. Please come in."

Then he shouted at Jordan, "Shopkeeper, Miss Zhaolian is here!"

Jordan was busy settling accounts with customers when he looked up at Zhao Lian, waved to her, and then pointed upstairs to Li Si.

Li Si immediately understood that the innkeeper wanted him to take Zhao Lian to a private room on the second floor.

"Miss Zhaolian, please come upstairs."

The waiter led the way up to the second floor.

The decoration of this Zuichunlou is completely based on the Zuichunlou in Changting County at that time.

The second floor is divided into nearly ten private rooms, each of which is completely separated and has a relatively independent space.

One of the doors is marked "VIP Room," and is not open to the public.

Zhao Lian knew that this was the private room that Jordan and his group had reserved for special guests. To put it bluntly, it was just the living room; this private room was specifically for entertaining their friends or guests.

Li Si skillfully opened the door to the private room. The room was quite large, with a round table that was nearly 1.5 meters long, on which were placed teacups and a teapot.

"Miss Zhaolian, please have a seat. I'll go brew you a pot of the finest tea." With that, Li Si took the teapot and hurried downstairs.

From the window of this private room, you can see the lobby on the first floor, and people are constantly coming and going through the entrance.

The previous guest had just left, and the dishes on the table hadn't been cleared away yet, but this guest couldn't wait to sit down.

Unexpectedly, the Drunken Spring Pavilion was doing so well in the capital, and Zhao Lian suddenly had a new idea.

If the emperor promises her a shop, she will open a restaurant.
