The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

After that, Princess Wuyan's appearance was completely ruined. Mo Zhu was almost beheaded because of this incident. If it weren't for his family, he would have met his end by now.

Mo Zhu was obsessed with Princess Wu Yan and even secretly went to see her once. However, at that time, she completely severed all ties with Mo Zhu and said that if they met again, she would never forgive him.

In this situation, do you expect Princess Wuyan to marry Mozhu?"

Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao with an expression that said, "You are too naive."

After hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but sigh, realizing she was indeed a bit naive. While Mo Zhu hadn't meant to do it, he had indeed disfigured Princess Wuyan. Even... ruined her life. Under these circumstances, forget marrying him. It would have been better if she hadn't killed him.

"Perhaps Princess Wuyan didn't fall in love with him from the beginning. She was just using him," Situ Yaorao said calmly. Yu Sheng was a little surprised when she heard this: "Oh? What do you mean?"

"Because it's such a coincidence. If it wasn't a coincidence, how could the princess meet him, and how could they be together so quickly? And after they were together, her mother would be able to clear her name."

"Situ is indeed clever. It's true. Mo Zhu's family is very powerful, but because Mo Zhu wasn't interested in family matters, he went to the palace to work as a chef. He even had a big fight with his family over this matter. However, this didn't stop him. He went to the palace and became a chef. After meeting Princess Wuyan and learning about her affairs, he asked his mother to investigate the matter. He even used a lot of connections to clear this case."

"If that's the case, then there's even less chance of anything happening between those two people. From the beginning, the princess was after his family. Later on, maybe she wanted to dump him. In this situation, why did she ruin the princess's appearance?" Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched, and she felt that Mo Zhu was a little pitiful.

"People in the royal family are just like that. They'll exploit, plot, and frame someone, using anything they can think of. Mo Zhu knew all that at the time, so he went to help her. He just didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to be with her until the end. That's why it came to that." Yu Sheng sighed softly. Mentioning Mo Zhu, she felt even more of a sense of regret for not being able to live up to his expectations.

Princess Wuyan was not a good woman to begin with, but he ruined his life for that woman.

"But if he likes her, you can't stop him. After all, who he likes is his own business and has nothing to do with others. If he cares about what others think, then his love for her is no longer real love." Situ Yaorao's tone was very calm. Looking at Yu Sheng, she said, "Just like when you fell in love with Miss Lan Yi and opened a shop here for her, knowing that what she wanted more was fame and admiration, yet you still accepted it. It's the same."

"How can they be the same? Lan Yi is a kind-hearted woman, and Princess Wuyan..."

"He just fell in love with someone he shouldn't have." Situ Yaorao said.

"So, Situ, are you really going to help?"

"I just want him to be a chef. As for whether it will work out, it depends on whether Princess Wuyan really doesn't like him at all. Or is the power in the palace really that important?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

"Even if power in the palace wasn't that important, she probably wouldn't agree. After all, if she hadn't trusted Mo Zhu, she wouldn't have eaten that basket of cakes."

"Can Mo Zhu be blamed for this?" Situ Yaorao felt speechless.

"In our eyes, this has nothing to do with Mo Zhu, but in the princess's eyes, it's all Mo Zhu's fault. So Situ, all your thoughts now are actually just in vain. If it really is true that just a meeting can make the princess change her mind. Mo Zhu's family will naturally not stand idly by and watch Mo Zhu become like this today." The man frowned.

"What kind of family is Mozhu's family?" Situ Yaorao was curious. Lanlin was a vast territory, and there were many families she didn't know about. And Mozhu's family was something she had never heard of.

Compared to the Yu family in the capital, this family is more secretive.

However, being able to become friends with Yu Sheng, and even having no objection from the Yu family, is definitely not an easy thing.

"The Mo family was originally a prominent family in Lanlin. Later, due to an agreement with the late emperor, they hid in the dark. They also agreed that when the royal family was in danger, they would devote all their strength to helping the royal family. They were not allowed to have any thoughts of betrayal. Otherwise, the entire family would be executed. In Mo Zhu's words, the Mo family is the emperor's dog. Dogs that cannot bite."

"If that's the case, the royal family should really want Princess Wuyan to marry him. After all, Princess Wuyan no longer has the looks she once had. It's not easy for a man to like her."

"That's true, but everything is hampered by love. Mo Zhu has feelings for Princess Wu Yan. Naturally, he couldn't bear to see her sad. Princess Wu Yan didn't want to see him at all. Even if he used the power of his family to marry her, it would be useless. It was precisely because of this that Mo Zhu had requested from the beginning that no one be allowed to comment on this matter, let alone take advantage of it. Then, Mo Zhu left alone. Mo Zhu's cooking is delicious, and many restaurants want to hire such a chef from the imperial kitchen. In addition, the Mo family is now unknown outside, so naturally, no one knows who he is. He suffered a lot in the capital."

"Is that why you are so reluctant to come to the capital?" Situ Yaorao found it unbelievable.

She had seen people driven mad by love. She had also seen people who gave up everything for love. Now, she had also seen people who would tolerate everything for love.

Perhaps...she hadn't done enough for the prince. And what existed between them couldn't be called love.

"I want to help him. I want to see what the outcome of this relationship will be. Not for anything else, I just want to resolve the confusion in my heart." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said firmly.

Situ Yaorao's eyes sparkled. She looked eager to try. Seeing her like this, Yu Sheng gave up trying to persuade her. After all, once a person has made up their mind, nothing can pull them back. He wasn't the kind of person who was unpleasant. Naturally, he wouldn't say much. He just said, "If you need my help, Situ, just tell me. Mo Zhu is a friend of mine. It was me who introduced him to you. I also need to take responsibility for this matter."

"Thank you very much." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said gratefully.

Yu Sheng sneered when she heard this. "Ever since you took over this place, Situ, I've always been taking care of you. There's no need to say thank you."

"Don't worry, if there's anything I need you for, I will definitely tell you. But now, I need to meet someone first." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and kept him in suspense.

"Meeting someone? At this time?"

"It's because of this time that I went to see him. If it were daytime, I would be afraid of being seen." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"Situ, are you going to meet your lover at night?" Yu Sheng said half-jokingly.

Situ Yaorao nodded: "If you say so, there is nothing wrong. He is indeed my lover, but the relationship between us cannot be known by others."

"Oh? I wonder who it is?"

"Do you really want to know?" Situ Yaorao raised an eyebrow. She had no intention of hiding anything from Yu Sheng. After all, Yu Sheng had nothing to do with the Situ family, and besides, she wouldn't say anything.

"Of course I want to know who can make you, Situ, fall in love with someone. After all, I thought you would probably stay single."

"I also thought I wouldn't be moved. But... after seeing him, I couldn't help but give my heart to him. He and I first met at Tianxiang Tower. That day, everyone said I had kidnapped the prince and taken him out of the city. It was also from that time that the prince and I... had a connection."

"You don't want to tell me that the man is the prince?" Yu Sheng felt unwell.

"Yes, it's him. If it wasn't him, why would I need to hide?"
