Chapter 31 Find a backer to protect yourself



"Host, you need to tell me by noon tomorrow what you're going to sell at your stall this time, understand?"

"Understood," Yu Zhizhi nodded in agreement.

On the way back, Yu Zhizhi walked and pondered. After this ordeal in prison, she realized with deep emotion that in ancient times, it was extremely difficult to make a living without power and influence.

Especially for vendors like her, it's easy to offend people.

Therefore, she needed to find a powerful backer to protect herself and her family.

At that moment, the image of the Sixth Prince Zhao Yunjin involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Borrowing his influence seems like a good idea. But given Zhao Yunjin's temperament, I have to offer him some conditions that will appeal to him and make an equal exchange.

So, she tentatively asked Little Winter Melon, "Are there any magic pills among the rewards for setting up a stall?"

"Yes! You can redeem it once you reach level four."

Yu Zhizhi pressed on, "Is there a miracle cure for scars?"

"Of course! We have all kinds of elixirs and poisons. Besides scar removal ointments, we also have cures for hiccups, sudden death, multiple births, things that are hard to talk about, turning idiots into normal people, and normal people into idiots... We have everything!"

Yu Zhizhi: “………”

After hearing the answer she wanted, Yu Zhizhi had a better idea of ​​what to do. It seemed she had to find a way to win the Level 4 reward.

However, before that, she decided to go and have a talk with the Sixth Prince herself.

So, on her way back to the Yun residence, Yu Zhizhi changed her route and headed towards the Sixth Prince's residence.

At this moment, the guard Zhao Er was reporting to Zhao Yunjin: "Master, I sent my secret guards to investigate the whereabouts of Yu Zhizhi, her family, and the young master of the He family, and found that they are all unrelated to this case."

"However, it's a bit strange that someone saw a strange man with a beard walking out of the Yun residence three days ago."

"Also, regarding the Misty Rain Pavilion, I heard that a martial arts figure known as 'Ghost Foot Seven' recently took on a bizarre job. We haven't found out what it is yet, mainly because he has already left the capital."

That's right, Ghost Foot Seven took the remaining torpedo cannon and went to Rongzhou Prefecture to seek revenge.

Zhao Yunjin raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice cold, "Send someone to investigate whether the one who made the deal with Ghost Foot Seven has a beard."

"Yes, Master."

Four days have already passed, yet there are still quite a few people waiting under the apricot tree in front of the Sixth Prince's residence.

She truly lives up to her reputation as the "Stinky Tofu Beauty"!

Yu Zhizhi hid in a corner, looking at the huge crowd not far away, and spoke with emotion.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she stealthily moved towards the gatekeepers.

That expression, that movement.

It's incredibly surreptitious.

If the guards hadn't recognized her, she would have been considered a suspect long ago.

Just as one of the guards was about to speak, Yu Zhizhi stopped him.

"Shh!"

"I have something important to discuss with your sixth prince. Could you please inform him, guard?"

"I'll wait for your news in that corner. Hehe! I can't help it, I'm just too popular lately."

With a smug look on her face, Yu Zhizhi first pointed to a corner, and then pointed to the group of people under the apricot tree.

After receiving a nod in response, she quickly slipped to the corner and stood there obediently waiting.

Upon receiving the report, Zhao Yi immediately went into the study and reported to Zhao Yunjin: "Master, Yu Zhizhi has something important to discuss with you. Should you grant her an audience?"

After listening, Zhao Yunjin felt a little puzzled.

Didn't she just get out of jail?

He had just learned this news from Zhao Wu.

Could it be that she really has something important to tell him, which is why she's in such a hurry, not even going home, and coming straight here?

"Bring her in!"

After entering the Sixth Prince's residence, Yu Zhizhi's eyes never stopped looking around. She walked along, admiring the beautiful scenery around her.

Artificial hills, fish ponds, pavilions, gardens... all were within her view.

In the future, she will buy a mansion that is even bigger than the Yun Mansion and decorate it in a more down-to-earth style than this one.

She had heard that the Sixth Prince's place also had a horse farm and a shooting range, but she hadn't seen them.

She had just noticed that many places were empty and wasted space! If it were her, she would definitely plant more fruit trees.

Upon entering the villa, Yu Zhizhi immediately spotted Zhao Yunjin sitting in the pavilion.

He sat with extremely upright posture, his tea-drinking manner was extremely elegant, and every gesture exuded an innate air of nobility.

He wore a moon-white robe with a black cloak over it, and a gold belt around his waist, which made his slender figure appear even more upright.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a shadow on him and adding to his air of mystery and nobility.

This scene is simply a beautiful landscape painting.

However, his aloof and icy nature made him seem somewhat unapproachable and not very likable.

After Yu Zhizhi sat down, a maid immediately poured her tea.

"Thank you!" Yu Zhizhi said softly, then immediately picked up her teacup and downed it in one gulp.

She revealed her carefree and unpretentious side to someone in this way, without any affectation.

There was no other way; she was just too thirsty and hungry.

After watching her drink three cups of tea, Zhao Yunjin noticed that her previously pale and dry lips finally regained some color, and asked casually, "Are you hungry?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her round almond-shaped eyes, "Hungry!"
