The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Why!

Situ Honglei felt extremely unwilling in her heart, and looking at Situ Yaorao, a fierce look unconsciously appeared on her face.

Situ Yaorao looked at Situ Honglei and said in a calm tone, "Remember what I warned you about at the beginning. My patience is very limited. If you do anything against me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Situ Yaorao's words were like cold water poured on Situ Honglei's head. After glancing at Situ Yaorao, Situ Honglei turned and left.

After the third game, many women were a little tired.

Some women couldn't even help but take a rest.

Situ Yaorao just sat here, not daring to look at Cang who had not left yet. As for Tan Tai Wu Yue, he was called out by Tan Tai Yun Yi.

The atmosphere in the whole room was extremely depressing, making Situ Yaorao want to escape.

At the same time, outside.

Tan Tai Yun Yi looked at the calm Tan Tai Wu Yue and wished he could tear him apart.

"Do you know what you just did?"

"Huh? What did I do? I just praised her for her beautiful playing." Tan Tai Wu Yue looked innocent.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi wanted to strangle him to death: "Just that? Ha! Who are you? The Crown Prince of Lanlin? What will others think of you speaking nonsense with your eyes open? What will your father think?"

"Since you don't want me to do this, why do you set up such a checkpoint?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked coldly.

"I just want to know an answer."

"An answer?" Tan Tai Wu Yue asked in confusion.

"Yes, there might be some hidden relationship between Situ Yaorao and the Crown Prince of Mingyue Country. This is what I want to know. As long as I know this..."

"If you dare to do anything to her, I will not forgive you." Tan Tai Wu Yue's attitude was firm.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi's expression softened and he looked at Tantai Wuyue: "Prince, are you serious?"

"I have never been more serious than this." Tan Tai Wu Yue said.

"What's so good about that woman?"

"She's not good in any way, but she's the woman I like. That's all." After saying that, Tan Tai Wu Yue left. Tan Tai Yun Yi's face turned grim. Thinking of what happened with Situ Yao Rao before, he felt sick all over.

Since the Crown Prince likes her so much, she can't stay in Lanlin. If the general takes advantage of the Crown Prince, it will be more trouble than it's worth. Thinking of this, Tan Tai Yun Yi became more determined.

Situ Yaorao never knew that a person could be so terrifying.

"Why don't you dare look at me?" Situ Yaorao and Cang were the only two people left in the room. Cang then walked down and looked at Situ Yaorao and said.

"I..." Situ Yaorao was a little embarrassed, but didn't know what to say.

"Because you feel you've betrayed me and are afraid that I might do something bad to you?" Cang looked at Situ Yaorao and said.

"I have never betrayed you. When you left without saying goodbye, it was over between us. You will never know the despair in my heart the moment you left. Just like you will never understand why I like the prince instead of you." Situ Yaorao raised her head, looked at the man, and said very bravely.

Hearing this, Cang chuckled: "I thought you would understand the reason for my leaving. I thought... as long as my heart was with you, you would wait for me. I thought that when you said you loved me, it would last a lifetime. But I didn't know that love also has a time limit. Once it becomes liking, it means losing."

"Some things, once missed, are missed forever. Cang, you are the prince of Mingyue Kingdom, of noble status and talented. There are countless women in the world who like you, why bother about me?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said softly.

Hearing this, Cang also smiled: "So, have you ever cared about me?"

Situ Yaorao was stunned, looked at him for a long moment, and said, "The one I cared about was that seriously injured, unclear identity, but lonely man with a pair of sinner's eyes. Not you."

"But he is me."

"You are different from that time. And I... don't like you anymore. So Cang, let me say sorry again this time." After Situ Yaorao said this, she never looked at him again.

"Do you know how scared I was that day when I saw your black hair turn white? I wasn't afraid of your appearance becoming ugly, but I was afraid that I would never have the chance to love you again. I left out of helplessness, and this time I came back just to be with you. I thought everything would go as smoothly as I expected. But I forgot to read people's hearts."

After Cang finished speaking, he touched Situ Yaorao's head and said, "You are the woman I like. I won't force you or anything. Just be a woman who is at ease."

Situ Yaorao nodded when she heard this, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

"How silly! Why are you thanking me?"

The man's voice was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was enchanting. But Situ Yaorao felt a little uneasy in her heart. Because this was not the Cang she knew.

However, Tan Tai Yun Yi didn't give Situ Yao Rao a chance to figure it out. Soon, the fourth round began. This fourth round of the test still required drawing from the box. So, after everyone sat down, Tan Tai Yun Yi pulled out another piece of paper.

After unfolding it, the word "painting" was written on the paper.

Situ Yaorao truly felt that she was unlucky. She had basically skipped learning painting. In Nangong Ling's words, painting requires time.

It would take at least ten years, and at most several decades, to become a skilled painter. Even if you were a genius, it would be a pipe dream to expect to learn quickly in a few months. Besides, she didn't have the time to paint.

So, I gave up at that time.

If she were to take a painting test at this time, Situ Yaorao could really hand in a blank paper.

After the drawing paper was handed out, Situ Yaorao mixed the colored ink. A hint of helplessness settled in her heart. As expected, relying on luck was practically impossible.

Situ Yaorao was depressed, but she still accepted her fate and painted. However, she painted a mandarin duck. Obviously, it still looked weird.

The time it takes to create a painting is one stick of incense.

During this time, Situ Yaorao looked around and saw that everyone was concentrating on painting. She was the only one left, which was very boring. But that was not the point.

The key point is that after one stick of incense, everyone's paintings will be displayed in front of everyone.

Situ Yaorao looked at her strange painting placed together with other people's grand, exquisite and beautiful paintings, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

The result is obvious, Situ Yaorao was crossed out.

Although this result cannot be said to be gratifying, it still makes many people want to applaud.

Situ Yaorao was really depressed. She was just too unlucky. According to Nangong Ling, a painting test would only appear once every ten years.

Why did it appear this time?

Next, Tan Tai Yun Yi did not give everyone a chance to rest, but drew lots again.

The result of this draw made Situ Yaorao want to bang her head against the wall.

"As everyone knows, a woman's cooking skills are the best way to measure whether she is a virtuous woman. Therefore, the next item is cooking skills."

The cooking test... This time, it wasn't just Situ Yaorao who was in an uproar. After all, who among those present wasn't a rich lady? Who wasn't spoiled? You expect these people, who haven't even touched a finger in a garden, to cook? That's simply ridiculous!

"This... why is there suddenly such an addition? Wasn't it the same in previous years?" Princess Lianqiao was the first to stand up, and one can imagine the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Yunyi glanced at Princess Lianqiao and said, "This is the one my father married into this year. If you have any questions, you can ask my father for answers."

"Father!" Princess Lianqiao gritted her teeth and looked at the emperor on the throne.

Upon hearing this, the emperor simply said, "Lian Qiao, you shouldn't act rashly in front of distinguished guests. All women under heaven should be treated equally. Cooking is something that women from Lanlin should be able to do. You are not allowed to have any objections."

"Yes, father." Princess Lianqiao said through gritted teeth.
