The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 182 Future Directions

"Those fruit wines aren't any worse than what we drank a few days ago."

"In that case, then there's no problem. After all, this is the first time I've tasted wine of that flavor. As the saying goes, it's not the wine that makes you drunk, it's the people who make you drunk. I'm probably referring to your fruit wine."

"So, there is no need to worry about these things. If you want to worry, just worry about one thing." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"what's up?"

"Lingyue Building across the street."

Hearing Situ Yaorao's words, Yu Sheng was a little amused: "Are you still thinking about Ling Yuelou?"

"With such a powerful enemy across the way, how could I not be concerned? Besides, this can't be called concern, it can only be called preparation. I won't be stabbed in the back suddenly."

"The owner of Lingyue Tower and I have some interactions. Although we are not friends, I know him quite well. He will only take action on things that he is not interested in. Just like the Lan Yi Pavilion before. As for your restaurant, perhaps he will like it too." Yu Sheng said.

Situ Yaorao was half-believing and half-doubting when she heard this.

However, now they could only pray that they were interested in the restaurant. After all, they were in the open, while they were in the dark. Furthermore, he was the young master of the Chamber of Commerce. If they really wanted to take action against Lan Yige, it would be impossible to defend against him.

"There are many capable people in my capital, and they will have to think twice before taking action. Just don't worry. But what about the opening day?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao worriedly.

"I need to meet someone first before confirming the opening date. Besides, we only have enough space inside the restaurant for about fifty people. Let's set a rule within the restaurant. If anyone buys a lot of alcohol here, or spends a lot of money, they can come in. Otherwise, the alcohol will be sold at the door."

Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Yu Sheng's mouth twitched when he heard this. But this was Situ Yaorao's decision, so he could only listen. There was no point in refutation.

Situ Yaorao and Yu Sheng seemed to have a good relationship, but in reality, they were both the type of people who kept their word. When two people like these got involved, one of them would naturally have to give in.

After Situ Yaorao made her decision, she left the house. However, the place she went to was not the Crown Prince's residence, but the residence of the Seventh Prince.

Situ Yaorao was a registered official at the Seventh Prince's residence. Seeing her coming, no one stopped her and let her in. When Situ Yaorao arrived at the backyard of the Seventh Prince's residence, she saw a man painting. Sitting next to him was none other than Tan Tai Yun Yi.

Both men looked very quiet.

They also seemed to have not noticed Situ Yaorao's arrival. Situ Yaorao saw that the Seventh Prince was serious, so she did not interrupt him. Instead, she watched from the side.

Tantai Yunyi's favorite thing was to quietly enjoy the scenery. His second favorite thing was to watch the Seventh Prince paint. Naturally, he loved the paintings.

However, waiting for the painting is always boring. Looking at the lotus pond scenery, Tantai Yunyi turned his head and his eyes fell on Situ Yaorao. He was slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"

Hearing Tantai Yunyi's voice, Situ Yaorao was startled and said with a wry smile, "Because I didn't know where you lived, I thought of coming here to ask the Seventh Prince for help in finding you. I didn't expect you to be here. What a coincidence."

Upon hearing Situ Yaorao's voice, the Seventh Prince, who was painting seriously, trembled his hands, and a beautiful lotus pond scene was splashed with ink.

Tantai Yunyi felt unwell after just one look: "Seventh Brother, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, second brother." The Seventh Prince's face was pale and he looked like he would fall down at any moment. He was obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao then remembered that the Seventh Prince couldn't stand the sight of women. So she hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault."

"No, I was just too surprised." The Seventh Prince said, throwing the ruined painting aside. Turning around, he looked at Situ Yaorao and forced a smile: "Since you have something to ask my second brother, I won't bother you. It just so happens that the Crown Prince is also busy with that matter. I'll go and help."

After saying this, the Seventh Prince fled away.

After the Seventh Prince left, Situ Yaorao was a little confused: "Did he...overreact today?"

"It seems that he had a nightmare after coming back from you, and he has been like this ever since. He is not in a very good mood either. What did you do to him before?" Tan Tai Yunyi frowned.

"I just made him eat something. Don't worry, these are just his worries. As long as he wants, he will find a woman sooner or later."

"But I don't know when he will be willing to open his heart." Tan Tai Yunyi sighed.

"Perhaps, it's time to use some tricks. If it's just like this, I'm afraid it won't work." Situ Yaorao said seriously. Hearing this, the man looked at Situ Yaorao in confusion.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Situ Yaorao smiled lightly.

"In that case, I'll leave all of Old Seven's affairs to you. By the way, you just said you came here to find me?" Tan Tai Yun Yi decisively changed the subject.

"Yes, it is indeed to find you, Your Majesty."

"This is strange. We just met this morning, and you want to see me again now? Do you miss me too much?" Tan Tai Yun Yi said playfully.

Situ Yaorao smiled faintly: "Now, for my prince, it really feels like a long time since I last saw him."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Tan Tai Yun Yi was amused by Situ Yao Rao's words, so he asked lightly.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the terms of our exchange? As long as I help treat the Seventh Prince, you will agree to one condition of mine."

"Yes, the king remembers."

"I would like to ask the prince for help."

"Go ahead." Tantai Yunyi's tone was so soft, so soft that he could hardly hear it. However, after he said it, he was shocked.

In a transaction, one party should naturally complete the task before the other party will fulfill its promise. Normally, Tan Tai Yun Yi took transactions very seriously.

If the other party didn't do it well, or hadn't finished the job, he definitely wouldn't give anything. But somehow, seeing Situ Yaorao like this, he couldn't help but agree. After agreeing, even he was shocked.

This is totally unlike him.

Not to mention Tan Tai Yun Yi himself, even Situ Yao Rao was stunned. She had never expected Tan Tai Yun Yi to agree. She had only wanted to give it a try. However, since he had agreed, Situ Yao Rao naturally continued, "My restaurant is about to open. I was wondering when Your Highness would be free. I would also like to ask Your Highness for a favor so that my restaurant can be more lively when it opens."

Situ Yaorao's words were euphemistic, but Tantai Yunyi was no fool and naturally understood what she meant: "Just name a date, and I'll go over to help."

"Three days later." Situ Yaorao said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You are quite good at choosing dates. Even if you arrive a day earlier, I won't be free. The only time I will have some free time is three days later."

"Your Majesty is very busy recently?"

"We are all very busy because Luo Mingjing is coming to the capital. I don't know why that person is so upset that he would come to Lanlin." Tan Tai Yunyi said helplessly.

"Maybe he just came here to take a look. It's completely different from what you think. I actually feel a little sympathy for that person. Because of his identity, wherever he goes, he will be regarded as having intentions. Even the royal family wants to find him, making people uneasy." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

"Everyone has their own responsibilities, and Luo Mingjing's responsibility is to maintain peace among our four nations. If he sides with one, it means that country is following the will of heaven. He naturally cannot act arbitrarily. Every decision he makes will cost many people." Tan Tai Yun Yi's attitude turned cold. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Luo Mingjing. But think about it, what kind of person is Tan Tai Yun Yi?

He had always been very arrogant, but suddenly he was asked to track down someone else's whereabouts and even show goodwill in the future. And the entire country was under someone else's control, so it would be strange if he was happy.
