The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Yun Luo smiled upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, Miss Situ." After that, he really did leave the room obediently. However, Situ Yaorao had lost the heart to continue writing. She just lay in bed, completely bored.

The fastest-spreading things in the capital are always rumors.

The news that Madam Situ had left the Situ family and gone to the Gu family quickly spread throughout the capital. Everyone in the capital knew who Madam Situ was. For a time, the second wife of the Situ family, Situ Honglei's mother, was almost scolded to death.

But even so, the wedding date of Situ Honglei and the Sixth Prince is approaching.

No matter how much people disliked Madam Situ, they still had to call her Madam Situ when they met her. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to General Situ.

"Miss, you don't know that the capital has been in turmoil recently because of the flower thief incident, and because the Situ family suddenly changed their mistress, there was a huge quarrel."

Early in the morning, Lian'er came to Situ Yaorao and talked about the things in the capital with saliva flying.

Situ Yaorao, on the other hand, just chuckled quietly. Listening to her, this was Situ Yaorao's third day at the Gu family's. Ever since she'd tricked Gu Yunjing that day, he'd barely appeared in front of her, aside from coming to see her every day. When he did, it was only a polite nod. She couldn't help but wonder, had he given up?

And since Yun Luo said that that day, he never appeared in front of her again, and as for the so-called flower thief, she had never seen him.

"Miss, the restaurant is about to be completed. Master Yusheng wants to ask you what name to change to. After all, Lan Yige was originally a brothel, so it's not suitable for this name."

Lian'er had enough of the excitement in the capital before she got down to business. Situ Yaorao was a bit surprised when she heard this. "Oh? I didn't expect him to ask me about this. I thought he would refuse to change the name of Lan Yi Pavilion for Miss Lan Yi's sake," Situ Yaorao chuckled.

"Master Yusheng said that some things are over and done with. Even if he keeps dwelling on them, it's useless. After all... the dead cannot be resurrected."

"Is that so? This restaurant is called Qinglanju."

"Huh? Why?" Lian'er asked in confusion.

"Qinghe, Lanyi. Both died in this restaurant. Although Yusheng said that he didn't mind, he didn't really not mind. Yusheng is a talented person. It's just the name of the restaurant. What's wrong with giving him an explanation?" Situ Yaorao said, and then said to Lian'er: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can just ask Yusheng. He will tell you. I can't leave the Gu family for the next two days. When I can go out, I will go back and set a date. And those jars upstairs of mine, no matter what, you are not allowed to open them for me, and it's best not to let anyone enter the room, otherwise, I will never forgive you." Situ Yaorao looked at Lian'er and warned.

Upon hearing this, Lian'er dared not neglect it and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will definitely not let them in. But... Miss, Prince Yun Yi came to our place to look for you before. I said that when you came back to Gu's house, he wrote a letter to you there and asked me to give it to you." Lian'er said as she took out the letter.

After Situ Yaorao opened the letter, she realized that she had not been able to see the Seventh Prince for the past two days.

So he said, "Lian'er, I almost forgot something. Could you please take a letter to the Seventh Prince for me?" As he spoke, Situ Yaorao began to write.

"Oh, by the way, Miss, Prince Yun Yi also told you that you don't have to do anything. He said he will bring the person you want to see to see you." Lian'er said.

"You're bringing someone I want to see?" Situ Yaorao was a little surprised, but then she was relieved. She thought he was bringing the Seventh Prince here. After all, if there was someone he wanted to see, it would probably be the Seventh Prince.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao felt relieved.

Looking at Lian'er, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but ask, "Lian'er, are the two people I brought back okay?"

"Well, Miss, they are very obedient. But they rarely talk to me. Occasionally, they just ask when you will go back. Now everyone is waiting for you to go back." Lian'er said in a low voice.

Situ Yaorao nodded calmly after hearing this: "I understand. If possible, I will go back as soon as possible."

"Cousin? Is she here?"

Just as Situ Yaorao was talking to Lian'er, she heard a man's voice coming from outside. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao restrained her expression and said calmly, "Is it my cousin? I'm here, please come in."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, cousin. It just so happens that a distinguished guest also wants to come and see you, cousin, so I brought him along." As he finished speaking, the person slowly walked in.

However, when she saw the man following behind Gu Yunjing, Situ Yaorao frowned tightly.

This person, dressed in bright red, had charming eyes and eyebrows, yet a strange look. He seemed a little gloomy. When he smiled, he looked like a fox, cunning!

"Third Prince, why are you here?" Situ Yaorao was shocked when she saw Tan Tai Wushang. After all, she never dreamed that Tan Tai Wushang, with whom she had fallen out before, would have the nerve to come and talk to her.

However, it was obvious that she had underestimated Tan Tai Wushang. Seeing that Situ Yaorao didn't have a good attitude, Tan Tai Wushang just smiled and said, "I'm here to apologize. I was wrong about what happened to Qing Ling before."

"She is the prince's sweetheart. It is only natural for you to protect her. There is nothing wrong with it." Situ Yaorao said with a cold face.

"Although Qingling is my sweetheart, she played some tricks on me. She caused Miss Situ to suffer injustice. I've been meaning to come and apologize these days, but I've been busy with work, so I haven't been able to come. Today, I happened to meet Yunjing at the restaurant, and when I learned that you were at the Gu family, I followed you here. I hope you don't mind."

A look of humility crossed Tantai Wushang's pretty face. Situ Yaorao looked at him suspiciously, and after a moment, she said, "Since the prince has said so, if I disagree, won't I be considered tactless?"

"Cousin, don't speak to the prince like that."

"Cousin, if I knew the person you brought was the Third Prince, I would have closed the door and refused to see you. After all, I don't want to get close to someone who loses his eyes to the woman he loves."

Situ Yaorao said coldly.

Gu Yunjing knew a little about what had happened before, but he hadn't expected Situ Yaorao to hold such a grudge. For a moment, he felt helpless.

Upon seeing this, Tan Tai Wushang just smiled. His beautiful eyes turned and he smiled: "Since Miss Situ is unhappy, then I will go back first. I will come again tomorrow. I will come until Miss Situ forgives me." After that, the man turned and left.

"Your Highness, I'll take you there." Gu Yunjing was about to chase after him when he heard the man say, "Your Highness, that's not necessary. I can go alone." After he finished speaking, the man had already left.

"Miss, why don't you forgive the Third Prince? The Third Prince is such an arrogant man, yet he has come to apologize to you." Lian'er asked in a low voice from the side.

"It's precisely because he's so arrogant yet he came to apologize that I couldn't agree. For someone like him to apologize, it must be something important. I don't want to be schemed against."

"Cousin, don't talk nonsense. Although the Third Prince stands on the Sixth Prince's side, he doesn't have much interest in court affairs. He has no reason to apologize to you and use you." Gu Yunjing said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao smiled. "As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what he's thinking? If he's truly not interested in court affairs, why would he stay in the capital?"

Situ Yaorao asked back.

"Cousin, do you want to go out for fun today?" Gu Yunjing changed the subject very shrewdly. He had no intention of discussing the matter with Situ Yaorao.

This sudden change surprised Situ Yaorao. Then she smiled and said, "Okay. Wherever my cousin wants to go, I'll go with him."

"Yesterday, the peach blossoms in the peach forest north of the capital bloomed overnight. The fragrance filled the entire city. Many people went there to see it. Why don't we go over there too?"

Gu Yunjing looked at Situ Yaorao and suggested.

Gu Yunjing was indeed a smart man. Even when he invited others, he always gave in. Even if someone didn't want to go, they would still go under Gu Yunjing's guidance.
