The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"For that woman, Lan Yi, you abandoned your family and me. I was originally your fiancée, and if you hadn't come here, you would have married me. But for that woman, you made me disguise myself, let me stay here, and smile at men. Let me watch you and Lan Yi being affectionate with each other. And all of this was just a small request from that woman. She just wanted to be the most beautiful courtesan, to see if it was fun!

You've sacrificed so much for that woman. And I...have lost so much too. If it weren't for Lan Yi, perhaps we could have gone back to the way things were. That's why I made a deal with the owner of Lingyue Tower: he helped me force Lan Yi to death, and I gave this place to him. That's all."

The woman laughed as she spoke. "Unfortunately, I didn't get what I wanted. The young master still only has that woman in his heart, and I couldn't give this shop to the owner of Lingyue Tower."

"You...why."

The man stared at Qinghe blankly.

"Why haven't I told you this? Even if I did, what difference would it make? The young master only has Lan Yi in his heart. If Lan Yi doesn't die, I will never be able to catch his eye."

The woman said this and smiled bitterly: "But now I realize that I was wrong. Things like feelings cannot be forced. Qinghe has to bear the sins she committed!" After saying this, the woman slammed into the pillar that had not been demolished yet.

"Qinghe!" the man roared and ran towards the woman.

Blood was flowing from the woman's head.

Looking at him, the woman smiled sadly: "Sir, Qinghe's life is yours. Qinghe will return this life to you now. I only ask you to look at Qinghe more and stop thinking about that woman."

"Qinghe, why are you so stupid?" the man asked almost collapsed.

Qing He heard this and laughed: "Haha, if I wasn't stupid, how could I fall in love with you? You are the most heartless person in the world. You gave all your feelings to that woman named Lan Yi. And I want to give you all my feelings. My dear, if you wake up in your dreams at midnight, please think of Qing He."

After the woman finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

Lian'er looked at this scene and started to cry.

"Why are you crying?" Situ Yaorao looked at Lian'er beside her and asked puzzledly.

"I, I'm so sad. Miss, Qinghe is really a lovesick person. It's a pity...she loves the wrong person."

"In this world, there are too many women who don't know how to cherish themselves. They casually give their love to someone who can't possibly reciprocate. This is a huge mistake. Lian'er, remember, you must find someone who loves you in the future. Otherwise, it will be a tragedy."

"Yes, ma'am."

As she spoke, Lian'er walked to the man's side again and said, "Don't be sad, sir. This man is dead and cannot be resurrected."

The man seemed to have heard nothing. He held Qinghe in his arms, leaning against a pillar, his eyes hollow. Situ Yaorao handed him a cup of tea. The man took it, poured it over his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Yu Sheng, and I am from the Yu family in the capital. Back then, because I fell in love with Lan Yi, I chose to leave the family and sever all ties. The Yu family could not accept a woman of unknown origin. And I, too, wanted to fulfill all of Lan Yi's wishes. At that time, the only person by my side was Qinghe. Qinghe was the fiancée chosen by the family for me."

I think this was a betrayal of her. But even so, she was still willing to endure the hardships with me. Qinghe was a very well-behaved girl.

Lan Yi didn't like her looks, so she covered them up. Lan Yi wanted to be a top courtesan, so she became a housekeeper. At that time, I was truly happy. Lan Yi was always by my side. I thought it would be forever. Lan Yi once told me that I was the only one who mattered most to her in this life. Gradually, I forgot what Qing He really looked like, and even that she had once been my fiancée. Together, Lan Yi and I seemed so perfectly matched.

Until that day, when Lan Yi was forced to die, I felt like the whole world had changed. I thought it was God's revenge. But now I think about it, maybe it was really my own choice.

I sacrificed Qing He's happiness for Lan Yi. I even forgot to think about how much pain Qing He would suffer. Now, all of this is my own fault."

The man laughed at himself when he said this.

"Yu Family, who is Yu Longyue to you?"

"She is my sister. However, that happened in the past. I am no longer a member of the Yu family. Even though I still call you Yu Sheng." said the man.

"Everything is over now. Have you figured out what to do next?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked.

"I don't know. Probably... it will be the same as before."

"Then you are really sorry for Qinghe's death. Do you think she died for her own sins?" Situ Yaorao sneered.

"I don't know why she is so stupid."

"She just wanted to use her death to tell you the truth. Everything is over. Whether it's between you and her, or between you and Lan Yi, it's all over. She just wanted to end this tragedy with her own death. Now, do you still want to continue in a daze?"

"Where in this world can I find a place to stay?" the man said with some boredom.

"If you are willing, you can stay here and look after this place for me, and continue to work for me. I am in need of someone who can help me. You are from the Yu family, so I think you should know a lot about this."

Situ Yaorao said lightly.

"It's boring anyway, so I'll just agree to it." The man said in a low voice.

"That's really great, thank you so much." Situ Yaorao said lightly with a twitch of her mouth.

Hearing this, the man glanced at Situ Yaorao and said, "Has anyone ever told you that when you speak, you feel like there's sunshine?"

"Hmm? Is that a compliment?"

"Maybe. Just looking at you makes me feel motivated," said the man.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​As a boss, you must have this kind of temperament. Well, let's deal with Qinghe's funeral first." Situ Yaorao said.

"Yeah." The man's voice was hoarse, but he still cremated the woman secretly.

Everyone experiences sadness, and he was no exception. But some choose to bury it, while others choose to show it. Before, he had wallowed in his sorrow. But now, he chose to bury it all along with this foolish woman.

A sleepless night. After a night of tossing and turning, Situ Yaorao was extremely sleepy. Just as she was still asleep, she heard a knock on the door.

The noise was so loud that she had to get up.

But when she opened the door and saw the person coming, Situ Yaorao wanted to kick him.

"Dantai Yunyi? Why are you here again?" Situ Yaorao looked at the still-dawning sky and really wanted to kill him. Let him be buried in the ground like Qinghe.

"I'm here to invite you to my seventh brother's house." Tan Tai Yun Yi said lightly.

"You are so impatient." Situ Yaorao said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Yun Yi smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, there's no time to lose. Every day of delay means danger for Seventh Brother."

"Alright, alright, I'm really impressed by you." Situ Yaorao had no choice but to follow him. But she felt helpless in her heart.

Tantai Yunyi's carriage had been waiting outside for a long time. After leaving the house, Situ Yaorao boarded the man's carriage. Sitting in the carriage, looking at the deserted streets, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but ask, "Why is it morning? And so early in the morning?"

"Since Seventh Brother's schedule is full, I think it would be better for you to spend time together starting in the morning," said the man.

"What do you mean?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. I hope you can stay with him all day. Maybe if you continue like this, he will be able to accept your touch. Only in this way can the shadow in his heart disappear." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.
