The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao didn't say anything, but a hint of doubt crept into her heart. Was she...really General Situ's daughter? If so, why had he treated her so badly? If not, why hadn't he killed her yet? If he asked his mother... Situ Yaorao thought about it for a moment, then immediately dismissed the idea.

You absolutely cannot ask Madam Situ about this matter. If you ask, you will hurt Madam Situ's feelings.

That kind of question is simply suspecting that Mrs. Situ is fickle.

"Okay, we're here." Just as Situ Yaorao was still struggling, Tantai Yunyi's voice rang out. Situ Yaorao finally knew to get off the car. The Seventh Prince's residence was far away from the crowd. Because the Seventh Prince didn't like to come into contact with people, especially women, so his residence was built here.

"This place is really remote." Situ Yaorao complained as she looked at the scenery surrounded by water.

"Yes, but only a place like this can keep him alive. Once he walks into the crowd and sees those women, he will faint. This is not the first time we have encountered such a thing. If possible, I really hope that he can take a closer look at those women, even if it is just for a moment. It won't end up like this."

"Your Highness, there are some things you can't rush. Since he has decided to give it a try, it means that Your Highness also hopes that it can be cured. Isn't that right?"

Situ Yaorao said.

"Maybe." Tan Tai Yun Yi said as he walked to the door.

"Second Prince." The guard at the door saw that it was Tan Tai Yun Yi and hurriedly opened the door. Situ Yao Rao followed him in. Because the man had brought someone with him, the guards didn't dare to stop them.

After all, this was not the first time that Tan Tai Yun Yi had done this.

After entering the mansion, an old butler in his sixties came over tremblingly. When he saw Situ Yaorao, his eyes lit up: "Is this the girl our prince is waiting for?"

"Yes, it's her." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

"Hurry, please come in. The prince is waiting for you in the small building." The old housekeeper looked at Situ Yaorao, his eyes almost shining. You know, she is the first woman who can make the Seventh Prince wait.

The Seventh Prince has been so far from women these past few years that it's been a source of great worry. Now that things are like this, how can he not be happy?

Situ Yaorao wanted to explain something, but after thinking about it, she didn't know what to explain, so she just let the old man misunderstand her. After all, she had no objection to making the old man happy.

When I arrived at the small building, I saw the man sitting alone inside, reading a book.

Seeing Situ Yaorao coming over, he first took out a spear and said, "Stand over there, don't come over."

This action made Situ Yaorao's mouth twitch, and she wished she could beat the Seventh Prince to death. Seeing this, Tantai Yunyi felt a little helpless: "How can we test you if you do that?"

"This is already the limit. If I get any closer, I'll definitely get a headache." The man put down the book and said softly. The man's face was pale, as if he was enduring something. Obviously, he was resisting the terrible past. Situ Yaorao watched this scene and naturally didn't dare to take another step forward and let him suffer another blow. So he had to say, "Your Highness, if you feel sad, please talk to me."

"Can we write it down?" The Seventh Prince looked at Situ Yaorao and asked expectantly.

Tan Tai Yun Yi was completely speechless when he heard this.

"Of course, if Your Majesty is willing, we can write it down."

"Sorry to bother you today." The Seventh Prince wrote.

Situ Yaorao wrote, "Your Highness is too polite. You have saved me many times before, so this can be considered as repayment. Moreover, Your Highness Yun Yi has agreed to help me, so this is what I should do."

"So that's how it is. Miss Situ, do you... have anything you like?"

"Sleep, practice, and if there's anything else, probably silver."

"If there is a chance, would you like to go see the cherry blossoms with me?"

"If the prince can tolerate me standing by your side, I will go."

The silent exchange between the two people almost made Tan Tai Yun Yi sleepy. However, the two people seemed completely unaware of it. Just when he felt he was losing interest, he noticed Situ Yaorao quietly moving forward. This action aroused Tan Tai Yun Yi's interest.

It turned out that Situ Yaorao wasn't just communicating; she was also cautiously testing the waters to get closer to Seventh Brother. If that were the case, perhaps it would be resolved sooner or later. He didn't expect this worry to heal overnight. There was still time to come. However, there was hope. This was better than anything else.

Thinking of this, Tan Tai Yun Yi became happy.

Situ Yaorao and the man talked a lot, and the man finally put down his spear. He no longer guarded against Situ Yaorao and said, "Miss Situ, would you like some tea?"

"Okay, thank you." Situ Yaorao said. Knowing that Situ Yaorao wanted him to pour the tea, the man was a little overwhelmed. But he still obediently poured the tea and placed it as far away from him as possible.

"Seventh brother, you just get along well with her first. I will go somewhere else. When the time comes, I will come to pick her up." After saying this, Tan Tai Yun Yi left.

After Tan Tai Yun Yi left, the man breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you wouldn't come. After all, no one wants to communicate with someone like me."

"How could that be? Isn't the prince a very nice person? He just doesn't like to get close to people."

"Do you really just don't like getting close to people? Haha! You are so gentle. Those people are saying that people like me might as well just die. After all, I am not even worthy of being a prince. I am a man who is afraid of even a woman. When I first touched a woman, I fainted from fright. Although I covered it up and used other excuses later, some people still knew that I was afraid of women. Now, I am still afraid. And those rumors have finally started again. If this goes on, maybe I can't even continue to be a prince. It doesn't matter if I don't become a prince. But my rights will be given to others. This will cause problems on the side of my brother, the crown prince. This is something I absolutely don't want to see. So, Miss Situ, I think I will probably have to trouble you all the time." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and said seriously.

Situ Yaorao chuckled when she heard this. "If someone else asked me for help, I might hesitate, but if it's you, I'm willing to help. Because I really haven't met anyone more serious than you."

"Thank you." The man said sincerely.

"This is not the first time I've met someone like you, but if you really want to be treated, this alone is not enough. I wonder if you are willing to use my method?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked softly.

Hearing this, the man nodded and said, "As long as it can make me normal, any method is fine."

"Forgive me for being so presumptuous. I have asked Prince Yun Yi before. All of your problems are due to some shadows from the past. So we have to start with those."

As soon as Situ Yaorao said this, the man's face turned pale: "This..."

"Your Highness, don't worry. When I said we were going to start, it was just to let you recall the situation at that time and gradually get used to it so that you won't feel scared. Your Highness feels scared because of your preconceived senses. Yes, we just need to let Your Highness get used to it." Situ Yaorao said.

The man heard this, but hesitated and said, "Let me think about it."

"That's natural. I'll give His Majesty time. When His Majesty decides, we'll do that. Of course, that's a very strong approach. I'd also prefer a gradual approach. After all, it's more suitable for His Majesty."

"Thank you for accommodating me." The Seventh Prince said gratefully.

"Sometimes I've wondered, Your Highness, have you never loved a woman?" Situ Yaorao asked curiously. Hearing this, the Seventh Prince lowered his head, "I did. But when I met her, the first thing I said was for her to stay away from me. Although she was very gentle and forgave me, I couldn't forgive myself. Furthermore, I couldn't even touch her, let alone talk to her. In the end, we parted ways. Later, she married someone else, and I blessed her. At the beginning, she only told me that if I was willing, she would be with me no matter what I was like. But... she didn't know, and that's precisely why I couldn't bear it. I can hurt anyone, but I can't hurt the woman who loves me."
