The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Father, you know exactly what I'm talking about. But it doesn't matter. This is the last time I'll obey you. If it happens again, I'd rather die than be a burden to you." Situ Yaorao's tone was cold. Hearing this, General Situ fell silent. He knew she was serious.

But precisely because of this, he felt even more powerless.

He truly owed this daughter a great deal. It was indeed his own psychological issues that were at work. But…what could he do? Things had come to this point.

Soon, the young uncle came out of the room. He looked at General Situ and said, "Brother, it's all right. Just remember to wake her up after twelve o'clock and let her eat. That's all."

"Thank you..."

"No need. It's better to seldom happen like this. I don't know why this girl was poisoned, but it's so vicious that I've never seen anything like it before. You can take the girl back."

The man said calmly.

Upon hearing this, General Situ naturally took the person away personally.

Situ Yaorao had no choice but to leave. As she left, she looked at her uncle and smiled, mouthing to him, "Take care."

Situ Yaorao just smiled back.

After leaving this secret realm, General Situ glanced at Situ Yaorao and said, "You cannot enter here without my permission. And you must forget everything that happened today."

"Yes, father. Then father, can I leave now?" Situ Yaorao said coldly.

"Let's go. I don't know what's wrong with you. What kind of store would you open? Do you really think a place like that can be famous? You might as well learn from your sister. Marrying the Sixth Prince would be a good match between our Situ family and the Sixth Prince."

"Although I don't know what father is thinking, why must it be the Sixth Prince?" Situ Yaorao looked at General Situ and asked puzzledly.

When General Situ heard this, his face changed and he left while holding Situ Honglei.

Situ Yaorao seemed to be lost in thought.

But he didn't think much about it, and left here and returned to Lan Qinglou.

In Lan Qinglou, Lian'er was walking around worriedly. Next to her was a man in white clothes. The man was very far away from Lian'er and seemed not to want to get close to her.

Situ Weixing, on the other hand, stood beside Lian'er, silently watching over her. He seemed to be waiting for Lian'er to say something. Speaking of Situ Weixing, Lian'er also felt strange.

Ever since arriving, this man had been very close to her, always helping her. But if you were to say he was in love with Lian'er, he hadn't shown any signs of expressing his feelings. So, they could only silently allow this relationship to continue.

"I don't know what happened to the young lady."

When Situ Yaorao came back, she heard Lian'er's mumbling. She couldn't help but smile and said, "What can I do to you, little girl?"

"Miss?" Lian'er's eyes lit up when she saw Situ Yaorao coming back, and she was about to rush over. Situ Yaorao quickly took a step back and said, "Lian'er, don't be silly."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Where is Yu Sheng?" Situ Yaorao looked around and didn't see Yu Sheng, so she asked.

"To answer my lady, Master Yusheng hasn't returned yet, but... the Seventh Prince has come to see you." Lian'er finished speaking, her eyes falling on the Seventh Prince in the far corner. Seeing the Seventh Prince hiding there alone, Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched. So she said to Lian'er, "Go and see if there's anything else you can do. Take Weixing with you. I'll leave this here."

"Yes, Miss." Lian'er said respectfully.

Situ Yaorao walked over to the Seventh Prince and sat down when she was about ten steps away from him. "Is this seat ok?"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince glanced at Situ Yaorao and nodded slightly: "Yes. Sorry, I came uninvited."

"It's nothing. It's me who hasn't been able to visit you these days due to some personal matters. Are you... okay these two days?" Situ Yaorao asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "It's still the same. I can't get close to women. Once I get close, those scenes will still appear before my eyes."

"What are women to the Seventh Prince?"

"Devil." The Seventh Prince said without hesitation. Then, Situ Yaorao was speechless.

"If you view women as demons, then you'll probably never get close to them in your entire life. This is because your subconscious mind has already rejected them. So for your own good, you must try to change the image of women in your mind. Otherwise, it won't have any effect at all."

Situ Yaorao said seriously.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince nodded, somewhat helplessly, "I know everything you said, but... I don't know why, but I can't help but think of the flames that shot up into the sky that night. Perhaps, this is all I can do for the rest of my life."

"How could it be! As long as you are willing, you will always get out!" Situ Yaorao excitedly stood up and took a step forward. Then she saw the man reflexively step back.

"Don't move. If you don't dare to move forward, I will use all my strength to prevent you from retreating, and I will move forward little by little to accompany you. I will let you see clearly whether this woman is a devil or something else." After saying this, Situ Yaorao walked towards the man. The man stared at Situ Yaorao blankly, his face pale. However, he still gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, allowing Situ Yaorao to walk towards him. Situ Yaorao finally stopped five steps away from him.

"Open your eyes." Situ Yaorao said.

Hearing this, the man quietly opened his eyes and saw Situ's enchanting appearance. The woman was much closer to him. But he didn't feel scared. He was just curious.

"See? It's nothing in the first place." Situ Yaorao said, and took another step forward. Then he saw the man's face turn pale and shouted: "Don't come over!"

The man's voice was so sharp that it frightened Lian'er who was working in the kitchen. Lian'er ran out and said, "Miss, what happened..." Lian'er shut up before she finished her words.

In Lian'er's eyes, the situation at this moment was: the woman with a wretched face slowly walked towards the fair and delicate man, and the man excitedly shouted "Don't come over", as if he had been done something.

Seeing this scene, Lian Er felt sick. Without saying anything, Lian Er decisively closed the door and said with her eyes closed: "Miss, I didn't see anything. I'll go cook."

After saying that, he ran away.

Situ Yaorao was left in a state of confusion. Meanwhile, the Seventh Prince finally gave in and retreated. Ten steps away, a safe distance away, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You see? Actually, you can accept me moving forward. If you keep going like this, you will succeed sooner or later." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince felt a warm feeling in his heart. So, was she doing this rash action just to encourage him?

"Thank you... If you weren't here, I really wouldn't know who to look for." The Seventh Prince's voice was a little hoarse, obviously because he had accidentally shouted himself out.

Situ Yaorao smiled when she heard this: "Even if I wasn't there, there would still be other women who would approach you and eventually come to you."

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "No, I can't get close to them, and they won't get close to me."

As he spoke, the Seventh Prince's gaze drifted away. As if remembering something, he said, "Even when I was young, I didn't like women approaching me. The women in the palace would always look at me with ulterior motives. I've always been a bit cowardly, wanting to escape from anyone who would harm me. Back then, only my mother was kind to me. But I never imagined that one day, she would ask me with a stern face, 'Why am I still alive? I wish I were dead.' Later, I was imprisoned in that endless prison. Those few days were the most painful of my life. After I was released, although I proved that I was my father's biological son, a legitimate and orthodox prince, it also caused a lot of gossip. In the end... for some reason, I never dared to approach women again."
