The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 223 Tantai Yunyi's Request 2

"Okay, Yu Sheng, I understand everything you said. But there are some things I can't refuse. Let's leave it at that for now. Don't let her see anything." Situ Yaorao said, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng shook her head, but also followed suit.

Back in the lobby, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Cousin, why is there no one here?" Xiu'er saw Situ Yaorao coming back and hurried over to greet her, asking in confusion. Situ Yaorao was stunned when she heard this: "It's still early, everyone is resting. It won't be like this when we open tomorrow."

"My cousin will be going back to Situ Mansion the day after tomorrow. Are you sure you want these people to stay here?" Xiu'er frowned.

"There's nothing to worry about. The restaurant isn't mine alone. Look, this guy's called Yu Sheng, and he's my partner. I feel at ease with him around." Situ Yaorao explained with a smile. Xiu'er stood up, straightened her clothes, and saluted, saying, "Xiu'er greets you, sir."

Yu Sheng didn't expect Xiu'er to be so respectful. She was stunned at first, then said, "Miss Xiu'er, there's no need to be so respectful. There aren't so many rules here. There are already enough rules and regulations at home. It's better to relax a little when you come here."

"This..." Xiu'er looked at Situ Yaorao with some embarrassment.

"He's right, cousin, you are too reserved." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"But how can I relax?" Xiu'er looked confused, her brows furrowed as she sat next to Situ Yaorao, feeling even more uncomfortable. At this moment, Ziyu came downstairs.

"Miss Situ." Zi Yu said respectfully after going downstairs.

"Zi Yu, how was your rest yesterday?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile.

"Everything is fine, but... I'm still a little confused. Miss Situ, why did you bring me here? Such a huge price..."

"It's nothing, you just want to leave, and I'm short of staff here, so you don't have to worry about anything. Except for the lack of freedom, you are the same as them. Of course, if you do well here in the future, I will set you free too." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

Ziyu had heard Yusheng mention the treatment here yesterday, and naturally she liked it, but she was a little disappointed when she heard there was no freedom. But that was just disappointment.

Here, at least she didn't have to rely on those stinky men to eat. At least, she had dignity. It wasn't like when she was on Bing Xin's painted boat. Although she had a high status, in the end, she was just a plaything for those men to admire.

"Excuse me, is Miss Situ here?" Just as Situ Yaorao was talking to Ziyu, she heard a voice outside asking. Situ Yaorao looked over and saw a servant wearing a gray servant's uniform. She didn't know whose family he belonged to.

"It's me. What's the matter?" Situ Yaorao asked.

"My prince wants to meet Miss Situ. I wonder if Miss Situ will allow my prince to come in." said the man.

This made Situ Yaorao startled: "I wonder which prince it is?" In this day and age, there are still such polite princes? It seems like he is kidding me!

"It's me." Just as Situ Yaorao was suspicious, the man had already walked in. But when she saw who it was, the corner of Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched.

Haha, God must be kidding me!

This man, dressed in white, his hair tied in a white jade crown, had indifferent eyes and thin lips. He toyed with a folding fan in his hand. He looked extremely casual. He looked like a lotus on a high mountain, one could only look at it, not touch it.

This person was none other than Tan Tai Yun Yi, the man who had cheated her yesterday!

Seeing how polite Tan Tai Yun Yi was, Situ Yaorao felt like she was dreaming. And after seeing Situ Yaorao, Tan Tai Yun Yi felt even more like she was dreaming.

He came to visit Situ Yaorao today, but he didn't expect that Situ Yaorao was the woman he saw when he woke up after fainting yesterday. This made him really unbelievable.

Is this really the legendary nymphomaniac?

For the first time, Tantai Yunyi began to doubt his own network of relationships.

"Prince Yun Yi." Situ Yaorao stood up and saluted. In the past, she would never have saluted. However, she and this man were strangers now, so it was best not to let him see any clues.

Seeing Situ Yaorao saluting, Yusheng, Xiu'er and Ziyu also hurriedly saluted.

Xiu'er secretly looked at the newcomer, feeling a little surprised. She had never expected to meet such a legendary figure today. Ziyu, on the other hand, had a complicated expression.

Sure enough, this man knew Situ Yaorao.

And she was just a stranger he chatted with when he was bored.

Tantai Yunyi hadn't expected Ziyu to be here. Looking at Ziyu, he suddenly remembered what Bai Liu had said yesterday. Apparently, Situ Yaorao was the person Bai Liu had mentioned, the one with whom he had made a deal.

"I didn't expect that you are Situ Yaorao." Tan Tai Yunyi felt a little emotional.

When these words came out, Zi Yu was stunned. Wasn't he very familiar with Situ Yaorao yesterday?

Yu Sheng, on the other hand, was very calm, after all, she had heard Situ Yaorao mention it yesterday.

"I didn't expect that you really are the prince. I wonder why the prince came here." Situ Yaorao had a faint smile on her face.

"I heard that you are the prince's fiancée. I have been too busy these days and forgot to come and see you. Today I have some free time, so I want to meet what kind of person is the one that can make the prince obsessed with her. After seeing you today, I found that you are indeed a beauty." Tan Tai Yunyi praised without hesitation.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I had no idea what was happening between me and the Crown Prince. It was just a stroke of luck." Situ Yaorao lowered her eyebrows. Her usual eccentricity was gone.

Looking at Situ Yaorao like this, Tantai Yunyi didn't know why, but he felt that she was fake. It seemed that she wasn't that kind of person. But he didn't know where she was fake.

Maybe it's because of her previous reputation? Tantai Yunyi thought so.

However, when he turned around and saw Ziyu, Tantai Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly: "Miss Situ, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"Your Highness, please take a seat first. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk. If you don't sit down, we won't dare to sit down." Situ Yaorao suddenly changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Yun Yi nodded, then found a chair and sat down.

"Can I speak now?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"This prince wants her." Tantai Yunyi pointed his finger at Ziyu. This surprised everyone even more. Especially Ziyu, who had experienced such a dramatic change. He had just said such cold words before, and now, he wanted her again. What was this man thinking? Or, what had happened to him?

Ziyu was confused. But she had to admit that she was very happy. If she could stay with him forever, even if it wasn't love, she would be willing to do so.

However, when she thought about her freedom being in Situ Yaorao's hands, Ziyu's heart sank. And in fact, she was right.

When Situ Yaorao heard that Tan Tai Yun Yi wanted the purple jade, a sly smile appeared on her face. Looking at Tan Tai Yun Yi, Situ Yaorao tapped the table playfully. After a while, she said, "Your Highness, I spent a lot of money to get this purple jade into my restaurant. I can't just agree to give it to you just because you ask for it."

"Tell me what the conditions are."

"Let's not discuss the conditions for now. I believe Your Highness is well aware of Zi Yu's identity. The fact that she was able to be brought out of Bing Xin's painted boat with her beauty intact is a miracle in itself. Since it's a miracle, it can't be bound by ordinary conditions."

"Just tell me what you want." Tantai Yunyi could see that Situ Yaorao was just trying to use the purple jade to gain benefits. He didn't think anything of it. On the contrary, he would be disgusted if she gave him the purple jade directly.

People have to give and gain.

"Your Highness is truly a straightforward person. To be honest, I have no intention of giving Miss Ziyu to anyone, nor do I intend to exchange her for anything. However, if Your Highness wants to come here to see her, I will allow her. Of course... the condition is that Your Highness must do me a small favor when my restaurant opens tomorrow. In the future, I will not prevent Ziyu from interacting with Your Highness." Situ Yaorao smiled like a fox.
