The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 124 Tantai Yunyi's Request

"But miss, didn't you hear it last night?" Lian'er shouted excitedly.

At this moment, a melodious voice came from outside: "If you see me, my heart will remain the same, but the long river is surging, and we can only gaze at each other from afar. If there is an afterlife, I will never forget your love. If you love me, my heart will be sincere, but the mountains are high and the seas are deep, and we can only wait for the vicissitudes of life. If there is an afterlife, we will definitely stay together forever."

"Miss, please listen!" Lian'er felt unwell.

"I heard it." Situ Yaorao frowned, opened the door, and saw the woman from yesterday mopping the floor.

"Miss, what can I do for you?" The woman had washed up today and looked quite energetic, but her complexion was always bad.

"Were you singing just now?" Situ Yaorao asked coldly.

"Yeah. What's the problem?"

"No, I just think that song is pretty good, so I wanted to ask what it is." Situ Yaorao said in a gentle tone.

"This song was Miss Lan Yi's favorite when she was alive. Miss Lan Yi was a kind person and taught everyone in this building, so many people can sing it. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

Hearing the woman's words, Lian'er almost burst into tears: "Miss."

"What's your name?" Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and asked.

"My name is Qinghe. I was the manager here before. The master is devoted to Miss Lan Yi, so I am in charge of all the big and small matters here." The woman said in a soft voice.

Situ Yaorao nodded after hearing this: "So that's how it is. Then I have something to ask you."

"Oh, you're too polite, young lady. Just tell me what you want to say."

"Are all the girls who were here before dead, or what?"

"They're all dead." The woman sighed.

"Really? I see. Keep busy."

After saying this, Situ Yaorao returned to her room.

"Miss, let's go." Lian'er said hurriedly.

"Leave? Humph, I've already given you the money. How could you leave because of something like this? Besides, it's not certain whether it's a human or a ghost. You're still a little naive if you want to scare me." Situ Yaorao sneered.

Lian'er actually burst into tears, secretly cursing herself, wondering why she had run away with the young lady.

Situ Yaorao was very curious about this matter. But the more important thing now was to turn this place into a restaurant.

"Miss, you really won't leave?"

Situ Yaorao was busy all morning, and Lian'er followed behind her all morning. Situ Yaorao was really annoyed by the busyness, so she said, "If you are really scared, how about I catch a ghost for you?"

"Ah?" Lian'er was confused.

"Don't worry, I will definitely catch him before we finish here, so you can rest assured. Is this okay?" Situ Yaorao looked at Lian'er and asked helplessly. Lian'er gave up and nodded and said, "Then, Miss, you have to keep your word."

"Yes, yes, I will keep my word." Situ Yaorao said with a helpless smile.

Lian'er finally felt relieved about this.

"Huh? It's so noisy, I can't even sleep." The man's voice was elegant and lazy. He stumbled downstairs in a gray shirt. Seeing the downstairs people dismantling the furnishings like a house, his face changed. "What are you doing? This, this pillar."

"Sir, although I agree that you can live here, I forgot to tell you that I will change everything here. After all, this is going to be a restaurant, not a brothel. Over there, please tear down all the murals for me. I want to hang new ones." Situ Yaorao pointed at the workers over there.

"I'm not selling this house!" the man said angrily.

"The house deed is mine, the land deed is mine. Sir, you are too willful to say that. I have already done my best by letting you live here. Hey? What's going on over there? Didn't I say that I don't want any murals? These murals are too vulgar and not suitable for my restaurant." After Situ Yaorao finished speaking, she pointed to other places.

At this moment, the man had lost his usual lazy and casual demeanor. He glared and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Nothing, I just want to get this place back up and open for business."

"Aren't you afraid of disturbing the dead by doing this?"

"That's yours, what does it have to do with me?" Situ Yaorao said, and continued to let these people do it. The man's face changed again and again, and finally he returned to the room.

Lian'er looked at the man's back and said with some concern, "Miss, do you think he was the one who did this?"

"You finally don't think it's the real Lan Yi anymore?"

"Miss!" Lian'er was embarrassed.

"Although I'm happy that you don't think it was Lan Yi, one thing is certain: he didn't do it. He loved Lan Yi very much. Just think about it, how could a man who deeply loves his beloved take advantage of the fact that his beloved has died? This man has no intention of doing anything else, he just wants to live in his own world.

So, I concluded it wasn’t him.”

"But, who else could it be?" Lian'er asked in confusion.

"As for this question, you will naturally know the answer when you catch him." Lian'er smiled mysteriously.

"Miss, these are the vegetables we bought today. What do you want to eat?" Qinghe came back from outside and asked Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao glanced at the vegetable basket and said, "Just do as you see fit. Sorry for the trouble."

"What are you talking about, girl?" The woman smiled, then walked away with her basket of vegetables.

"Hey? What's wrong with your hand?" Situ Yaorao asked, looking at the woman's red wrist. The woman hurriedly put it away and said, "No, nothing, I accidentally touched it."

"Is that so? Then you'd better be more careful next time."

"Thank you for your concern, young lady." After saying that, the woman ran away.

When people are busy, time often flies by. In the blink of an eye, the sun sets. Just as Situ Yaorao was about to take a break, a guest arrived.

A guest that Situ Yaorao did not expect.

In the setting sun, a man in white stood at the door. He had delicate features and a calm expression. He looked at Situ Yaorao and said politely, "Miss Situ, we meet again."

"Prince Yun Yi, it's only been two days since we last met, and you've become even more handsome." Situ Yaorao chuckled, then made a gesture of invitation and led the person in.

"I didn't expect that after only two days, Miss Situ would leave the Situ family and come to a place like this. It makes me a little overwhelmed." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and said.

"It's just that I had a disagreement with my family and I don't want to stay at home anymore. It's not a big deal. But Prince Yun Yi, how did you find time to come look for me?"

"It's not entirely true that I came here to look for you. To be honest, I came here to ask for something." Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at Situ Yaorao and said very politely.

Hearing the word "request" from Tantai Yunyi's mouth actually aroused Situ Yaorao's curiosity: "Oh? Then I wonder what Prince Yunyi wants from me?"

"I wonder if Miss Situ knows about this, gynophobia?"

"Um, are you talking about the one with the Seventh Prince?" Situ Yaorao asked.

Tantai Yunyi nodded: "Yes, this is exactly the disease my seventh brother suffers from. I wonder if Miss Situ knows about it."

"I've heard a little bit about it, but how can I help?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"Seventh Brother treats you differently from other women. In his own words, he is less repulsed by you. So, I was wondering if Miss Situ could help us with the treatment?"

"treat?"

"Yes, treatment. The cause of my seventh brother's illness is that he is afraid to touch women. As long as he touches a woman, it will be considered to have untied the knot in his heart. He has a huge shadow hidden in his heart. Until now, no woman has given him the courage to fight against his inner demon, so I would like to ask Miss Situ for help."

"I can help, but why?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked with a smile.

"This is a request from this king."

"Do I have to agree to the prince's request?" Situ Yaorao sneered.

"Miss Situ, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Tan Tai Yun Yi was straightforward. Situ Yao Rao smiled upon hearing this. "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I just left the Situ family. Although I'm not unfamiliar with the capital, I know nothing about business. But as luck would have it, I'm thinking of opening a restaurant. Just for wine tasting, nothing else. So, there are some things that I'm afraid I'll need your help."
