Therefore, she really didn’t like it when people cried.
She also couldn’t stand seeing others cry and whine, which would annoy her.
Rourou cried prettily, and her sobbing even had a certain charm to it, but such whimpers still irritated her.
Upon hearing these words, Rourou sniffed, “Although Father only has me as a daughter, I am born of a concubine and then raised by my stepmother. In sixteen years, I have never seen my birth mother, knowing only that she is still alive, living in a courtyard within our mansion. My birth mother is unable to go out and walk about. Although my stepmother treats me well on the surface, in reality, the people who serve me are arranged by her, and so are all my living expenses. My father loves me, but how much can he really manage over the household affairs? Even when it comes to marriage, it is entirely up to my stepmother. I do not ask for a husband with great power or wealth, only that he truly cares for me a bit and lets me live a slightly easier life!”
“But even these are extravagant hopes. My stepmother wants me to marry her nephew, my father wants me to learn to seduce a man I have never met before, which goes against all the teachings of female virtue and restraint I have learned. However, I have neither the right to choose nor the right to refuse. I don’t want to be a concubine, I don’t want to end up like my birth mother, bearing a child and not even having the opportunity to see him. But Sister Xie, I have no choice!”
“I cannot defy or resist the orders of my parents, whether it’s my stepmother or my father!” Rourou said.
...
This time without crying.
But it was even more heartbreaking than her tears.
Xie Zhinuan did not reveal to her that the man she was supposed to entice was Li Hengyi.
“This business of seducing men, at first I thought it didn’t matter, it’s all the same anyway. But gradually, I felt like a thief, trying to steal someone else’s happiness, and it troubled my heart!”
Rourou looked up at Xie Zhinuan, “Sister Xie, I want to learn business from you. Someday, I want to be strong and independent like you, not reliant on anyone, and able to live well on my own. I don’t want to be a despicable person stealing others’ happiness, to live a dignified and upright life, not to be held hostage by my stepmother, marrying her nephew, and living in torment for the rest of my life without the chance to turn things around!”
As if opening a valve, Rourou spoke with growing conviction.
Xie Zhinuan looked at her and smiled faintly.
The pampered young lady’s life was not as pleasant as outsiders thought, constrained at every turn, her splendor all on the surface.
She seemed meek, but her heart was strong; given the chance, she would seize it firmly.
“Sister Xie, will you help me, please? I will remember your kindness!” Rourou begged.
Without speaking of repayment.
Sometimes, that’s more persuasive than any promise.
Xie Zhinuan suddenly smiled.
Rourou and Suwen were truly different.
Back then, Suwen said she would be indebted for this life, implying she would repay in the next; for this life, don’t even think about it.
From the beginning, Suwen was a trickster.
“Alright, I was heading to Gaocheng County for business anyway. With your Silver, it really is like receiving timely help, but even if you provide Silver, I can’t give you a fifty percent profit share, at most twenty percent, and that’s of the net profits. If you are not confident, it’s not too late to back out now!”

“I don’t regret it, I know that even with a twenty percent share, I’m still taking great advantage of you, Sister Xie!” Rourou spoke earnestly.
She didn’t know how to do business, and keeping the Silver in her hands, it would surely be lost eventually. It made more sense to let Xie Zhinuan handle the business, and then she could take a little profit each month. The Silver might be less, but it would keep coming.
