My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 155 Meeting the Scumbag Father
Baihu Yaoyao went back to her room and fell asleep immediately, sleeping very soundly.

He completely forgot about Quan Lihen.

Quan Lihen was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he found Ouyang Jingwo, and the two sat on the rooftop drinking and chatting.

"You're always by Yaoyao's side, does she really have a husband?" Quan Lihen asked, a little drunk, trying to muster his courage. He didn't want to give up.

Ouyang Jing glanced at him and said, "I have no right to interfere in Miss's affairs."

The young lady's abilities were beyond their comprehension, reaching a height that none of them could attain.

What reason would he have to ask the young lady about her affairs?

Quan Lihen was speechless for a moment, "I'm just unwilling to accept it."

He himself didn't even know what he was unwilling to accept.

When he first learned that he was engaged to her, he was only slightly surprised.

Later, after learning more about her, I started to care.

Now that she knows she has a husband, she feels a sense of resentment.

Ouyang Jing and I are brothers who have known each other for many years. How could I not know what he was thinking?
As a man, he understood men's thoughts better. He looked at him with a mocking smile and said, "What are you unwilling to accept? Are you unwilling that such a capable person as Miss cannot be used by you, or are you unwilling to marry her and thus lose the support to seize the throne?"

"Or do you think that all women should revolve around men, that women should fight over you, and that they should look at you with adoring eyes?"

"You're still not reconciled that Miss has a husband, and you're still not reconciled that she, a woman, has so many men around her?"

"So what if you think of me as a goddess? I'm still a fickle woman."

"Quan Lihen, Miss is a goddess, she should be different from us!"

I took a sip of wine. He knows Quan Lihen too well.

He may be a good emperor, but he is by no means a good husband, much less suitable to be a young lady's husband.

A young lady should be like an eagle soaring freely in the vast sky.

He also liked the young lady very much, and it happened without him realizing it. He knew that the young lady would not like him back, so he could only keep this feeling hidden in his heart for the rest of his life.

The young lady was teaching him cultivation, which was already quite special for him.

What else can he ask for?
He always had a feeling that the young lady wouldn't stay with them for long.

She will eventually leave this place and go to a wider world.

Quan Lihen took a big gulp of wine and laughed self-deprecatingly, "You're right. Many of my grievances are related to her. Her abilities are too great. I want to use her for my own purposes, but I'm also afraid of her abilities. So I thought of keeping her by my side, so that I could use her abilities and also feel at ease. But that was just wishful thinking on my part."

Someone like her could single-handedly turn those drug-using people into ashes. How could she possibly show mercy to those who plotted against her?

Aren't Princess Anning and Sheng Yanran examples of this?
Although the two did not die, they lost their reputation and lived a life worse than death.

How could he possibly think that Yao Yao would treat him differently?
"It's best if you can think positively! What Miss dislikes most is being coerced or distrusted. You'd better not cross her bottom line, or you might be able to die peacefully in your old age."

I patted Ouyang Jing on the shoulder, leaped off the roof, and went back to sleep.

Quan Lihen gave a bitter smile. "Ouyang Jing, I'm giving him advice."

Soon it arrived at the old lady's birthday banquet.

The birthday banquet for the old lady of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was naturally held in a grand manner.

The banquet was held in the garden of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion. Although it was called a birthday banquet, everyone knew that it was actually a banquet to select a consort for the Prince of Zhenbei.

Many young ladies, dressed in their finest attire and accompanied by their elders, flitted about in the garden like butterflies.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was extremely bored. She disliked attending banquets like this the most. This was no banquet to celebrate the old lady's birthday; it was clearly a matchmaking event.

The other young ladies and wives were accompanied by maids and servants, but she was followed by a handsome local guard, which made her the center of attention. "What kind of behavior is this! A woman accompanied by a guard, how shameful!"

"Who says she isn't! Whose daughter is she? She looks like a vixen!"

"I heard they are distinguished guests from the Prince of Zhenbei's residence..."

Such remarks, like "as before," intermittently reached Bai Hu Yaoyao's ears.

Ouyang Jingwo stood behind her, arms crossed and sword in hand, in a protective stance. He had heard what she said and frowned in displeasure.

"Miss, those people said such awful things, aren't you angry?"

Those rich ladies and young misses are so annoying, chattering away like crazy.

"Why bother arguing with these clowns? Just wait and count who these people belong to, and then cut off their access to food and salt."

Bai Hu Yaoyao raised her hand and handed him a fruit, which Ouyang Jingwo took without hesitation and took a bite.

The fruits the young lady gave him were all helpful for his cultivation; he might as well eat them.

“It’s still you, Miss! We hold the reins of the grain and salt trade; they’ll regret it later.” Ouyang Jing took a bite of fruit and was no longer angry.

Bai Hu Yaoyao glanced at those people; she remembered them all.

She's a fox, she holds grudges!

At this moment, Pan Ning led a few people into the garden. "Little Yao'er, come quick! Look who's here?"

Only then did the white fox Yaoyao look up and see Shengshi dressed in white.

Sheng Shi was looking at her with doting eyes.

"Aunt Ning, Big Brother," Bai Hu Yaoyao called out as she approached.

"Little sister, you've lost weight." Sheng Shi patted her head.

Bai Hu Yaoyao rolled her eyes. She's clearly gained weight now, okay?
"You two siblings have such a good relationship," Pan Ning said enviously from the side.

He wished his son had a brother or sister.

But it doesn't matter, once Xiaoyao marries his son, the house will be just as lively.

"Aunt Ning, she's my only sister, of course I have to treat her well! If anyone dares to mess with her, I'll make them wish they were dead!"

Sheng Shi's gaze also swept over the woman following behind him, a warning to her.

Sheng Zijing lowered her head, almost tearing the handkerchief in her hand.

She's clearly their eldest sister; he should respect her. Why can't he see her good qualities?
They are all their father's children, so why can they openly and legitimately become the legitimate sons and daughters of the Marquis's mansion, while they have to be the children of a sickly man who died?

They take a country bumpkin so seriously.

Why should she?! She's just a bastard abandoned in the countryside, does she deserve to be treated differently?

"Alright! Let's go over there and talk." Pan Ning didn't even glance at the father and daughter, took Bai Hu Yaoyao's hand, and the three of them went directly to the pavilion in the garden.

Before leaving, Bai Hu Yaoyao secretly glanced at Sheng Jian. Was this her scumbag father?

No wonder he managed to coax his mother into marrying him; he really does look like a pretty boy.

The two people following behind were completely ignored.

Marquis Wen'an, Sheng Jian, was also secretly observing Bai Hu Yaoyao. Seeing her face, which was even more beautiful than her mother's, his eyes turned fierce.

"Father! Do we really have to take her back? If Mother sees her face, she'll go crazy." Sheng Zijing was also very jealous.
