The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 176: Encounter at Yulou

All the changes in Situ Yaorao's expression fell into Tantai Wuyue's eyes. Seeing her face bright and dark, Tantai Wuyue just hated himself for not understanding what she was thinking, so he said: "Let's go, let's go eat."

"Okay." Situ Yaorao smiled slightly.

Situ Yaorao wasn't particularly familiar with the capital. If she asked about the residences of various handsome men, she could rely on her memory to find them. However, if she was asked to find food, she couldn't.

Naturally, since he was the one who made the decisions on everything on weekdays, there was no need for Situ Yaorao to think about it, so he took her to a place called Zhuyue Tower.

Zhuyue Tower is a three-story building made entirely of white jade, which gives off a faint coolness in the somewhat hot and humid weather.

"The owner of this place must be very rich!" Situ Yaorao sighed sincerely as she looked at the small building made of white jade. Hearing this, Tantai Wuyue couldn't help but smile: "Why do you think so?"

"Building the house out of jade, isn't he afraid of someone secretly digging it up?" Situ Yaorao complained. Tantai Wuyue shook his head. "This house isn't entirely made of jade. The stone beneath the foundation is an extremely durable black stone, while the upper floors are made of jade. The few furnishings in the house are all carved from pure jade. Guests entering are naturally selected, and to enter, they must be able to pay for it. If you accidentally damage the furnishings, you won't be able to leave alive without a huge fine of silver. However, so far, I haven't seen anyone dare to touch this shop."

Tan Tai Wu Yue said with a chuckle.

"Oh? Is the boss of this place very powerful?"

"The boss of this place is Lao Liu." Tan Tai Wu Yue said in a low voice. Situ Yao Rao was really surprised when she heard this. Who would have thought that the seemingly domineering Sixth Prince would also come to do business?

But it must be said that this business, like the people themselves, is incredibly domineering. A restaurant made of jade? It's the only one in the world.

Besides, jade is so fragile, aren’t you afraid that the house will collapse and hit people?

Thinking about it, Situ Yaorao didn't want to go in. She still cherished her life.

As if he had read Situ Yaorao's thoughts, Tan Tai Wu Yue continued, "This shop can be called a miracle in my Lanlin. It's not because of its price, but because of the sturdiness of the building. The Jade Building has had no problems for three years, so rest assured."

"I'm not scared!" Situ Yaorao said dissatisfiedly. Tantai Wuyue didn't expose her, but simply pulled her up the steps of Zhuyue Tower. When they reached the door, the two servants saluted them.

Tan Tai Wu Yue took out a jade pendant. After the two of them saw it, he respectfully invited them in.

"The jade pendant you just showed them is required to enter this restaurant?"

"Yes, if you want to enter here, you need a token. And this token is rarely issued in the capital. It can be said that what Zhuyue Tower earns is money from fame." Tan Tai Wu Yue said.

At this moment, Situ Yaorao had only two words in her mind: profiteer!

You say this kind of customer service is rare? Haha, yes, there are fewer customers, but their spending power is high. Those who can afford to stay here are either those who are just trying to impress others or those who are well-known and influential. None of these people are short of money. Once they come in, no matter how expensive the item is, they won't say anything. It's simply a disguised form of robbery.

However, it must be said that this method is indeed good. At least, the people in the store are not tired, and the profit is not less than that of ordinary restaurants.

For the first time, Situ Yaorao had a new idea about the future direction of her restaurant. Perhaps from the beginning, she shouldn't have positioned the restaurant as everyone's business.

She had already made arrangements with Tan Tai Yun Yi. With him helping promote the restaurant, how could the starting point be too low? Furthermore, if she wanted to develop the restaurant further, she simply didn't have enough energy. She could only start by selecting her customers. That way, she wouldn't be overwhelmed, and the restaurant would be able to survive longer.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao felt a little more expectant.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" Seeing that Situ Yaorao was in a good mood after coming in, Tan Tai Wu Yue couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Nothing, just something came to mind." Situ Yaorao said, then surveyed the Jade House. It was truly beautiful. A chilly breeze descended upon the restaurant's lobby. There were only six round tables, each crafted from white jade. The entire space was a shimmering white. It looked clean, yet elegant.

Someone saw Tantai Wuyue and Situ Yaorao coming in. They stood up.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince? Miss Situ?" This man was sitting in the corner. When he saw Situ Yaorao and Tan Tai Wu Yue walking together, he felt very uncomfortable.

When Tan Tai Wu Yue heard his voice, she couldn't help but feel a little confused, so she looked over.

The man was dressed in black, with long hair tied back. His narrow, drunken eyes were filled with disbelief.

Situ Yaorao also looked over, and then, a little confused: "I seem to have seen you somewhere?"

"puff……"

This sentence made a young man in blue at the table spit out his wine. His somewhat childish face was filled with mockery. "Situ Yaorao, did you lose your mind after that last drowning? This is Mo Shu. You broke into his bedroom six months ago and scared him so much he had to recuperate for six months. He just came out today and saw you again. And you've completely forgotten about him?"

Situ Yaorao was very familiar with the person who was speaking. She had met him not long ago when she was invited out by Tan Tai Wushang. Ninth Prince!

It is said that she has seen the same thing!

Thinking this, Situ Yaorao glanced at the Ninth Prince, then at the man said to be named Mo Shu. The man was fair-skinned, with a pair of drunken eyes that made him look a bit listless. His lips were pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. A folding fan lay beside him, and his clothes were embroidered with a light ink color. When Situ Yaorao looked at him, he was first frightened, then, as if he had thought of something, he nodded faintly.

He cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry. I was too surprised just now. If I have disturbed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Situ, please forgive me."

"No, no. I should be the one saying sorry." Situ Yaorao said hurriedly.

The man just smiled faintly upon hearing this, not saying whether it was right or not. Meanwhile, Tantai Wuyue frowned slightly.

"I say, weren't you involved with my third brother last time? Why are you involved with the Crown Prince now? Situ Yaorao, could it be that instead of watching people bathe, you are hooking up with my royal family members?" Mo Shu forgave Situ Yaorao, but the Ninth Prince just couldn't stand her.

He shouted in an exceptionally high voice.

His words made the other guests look over.

Situ Yaorao's temper flared up when she heard this. She looked at the man with a cold gaze and said, "My Lord Ninth Prince, could it be that after I saw you naked last time, you changed your career and became a eunuch? You're so nagging, even worse than a woman."

"Ahem!" Tantai Wuyue, who was about to say something, was choked by Situ Yaorao's words. Turning back to look at Situ Yaorao, he felt that she was not in a good state.

Even Tan Tai Wu Yue felt something was wrong. The Ninth Prince had a hot temper to begin with, and upon hearing this, he leaped up in anger, "You're such a good jerk, Situ Yaorao! I spared you last time, and you, you, you don't repent, and you're even worse?"

"So what?" Situ Yaorao squinted her eyes and looked at him with disdain. "I just looked at you. You've looked at so many women, and I can only avenge them. Also, judging from your posture, are you going to hit me? You're the Ninth Prince, and you're going to hit a little girl like me. How can you have the heart to do that?"

"You, you are also considered a woman?" The Ninth Prince exploded with rage. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao's smile deepened: "Prince, you'd better pray that I am a woman. It's not shameful to be seen by a woman, but if it is seen by a man..."

Situ Yaorao didn't finish her words, and the Ninth Prince didn't react at first. The moment he reacted, his face was extremely ugly. He supported himself on the table and jumped in front of Situ Yaorao. He approached her and said coldly, "You'd better shut up, or I'll tear you apart."

The man's tone was cold. Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue protected Situ Yaorao behind him.
