The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so funny when telling jokes." Situ Yaorao was almost amused by Tan Tai Yun Yi's joke. However, her eyes flashed and fell on Tan Tai Wu Yue. Her smile couldn't help but fade. She stood up, walked to the man's side, and said awkwardly, "You... are back?"

"Yes." Tan Tai Wu Yue nodded.

"How's the matter going?" Situ Yaorao continued to ask.

"You can go now." Tan Tai Wu Yue said coldly.

"Then...shall we go over there?" Situ Yaorao asked about the man's attitude, but she always felt that he was angry.

"Why are you with him? What were you doing just now?" Tantai Wuyue asked dissatisfiedly. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao thought to herself, he's really angry. So, she said, "Nothing. Prince Yun Yi just happened to run into me. He saw me waiting for you alone, and because he was afraid I'd be bored, he told me some jokes."

"Is that so?" Tan Tai Wu Yue frowned.

"Of course it is. Royal brother, you too, are not afraid of being seen by others after leaving Miss Situ here alone."

"There is no one else, but I only see you." Tan Tai Wu Yue said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm just afraid that you will offend the beauty, so I stay here with her. Now that my royal brother is back, it's time for me to leave." Tan Tai Yun Yi said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue frowned and asked, "What brings you here today?"

"The Empress gave me something to draw my eyebrows, probably... because she wants me to marry a princess. I didn't want to talk to the Empress any more, so I escaped. I wanted to come here to calm down, but who would have thought I would run into Miss Situ like this." Tan Tai Yun Yi said calmly. However, when he talked about this matter, there was a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue frowned.

"In that case, you should indeed find a princess. This will prevent my mother from setting her sights on me." After saying that, Tan Tai Wu Yue took Situ Yaorao and left.

Situ Yaorao said to Tantai Yunyi, "Thank you for today."

"You're welcome." Tan Tai Yun Yi only smiled. Tan Tai Wu Yue's pace quickened. It was so fast that Situ Yao Rao could hardly keep up, so she shook off the man's hand and frowned, "What do you want to do? Walking so fast?"

"What? Are you unhappy? Is it because I'm not as gentle as Yun Yi?" Tan Tai Yun Yi said coldly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Situ Yaorao felt that this person was unreasonable.

"Nonsense? Humph, I actually hope what I said is nonsense rather than the truth. Yun Yi started to warm up to you after being asked to marry the princess. Do you really not know why? You are so smart, but you are playing dumb about this matter?"

"What are you talking about! There is nothing between me and Tan Tai Yun Yi." Situ Yaorao felt very uncomfortable.

"Nothing? I'm afraid this is just your opinion. How could you possibly know what Tan Tai Yun Yi is thinking?"

"If he wanted to have anything with me, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?" Situ Yaorao was furious. However, she regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. Because, Tan Tai Wu Yue's face became even uglier.

"Heh! If you wanted it, you would have it long ago? It seems that he holds a very high position in your heart." Tan Tai Wu Yue's voice became increasingly cold.

Situ Yaorao felt a headache as she listened. Talking with Tan Tai Yun Yi was quite unexpected. But she hadn't expected it to cause such a big change in Tan Tai Wu Yue.

Continuing to argue like this is definitely not a wise move. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao sighed and hugged the man. Her voice softened, "I've already said that our encounter was just an accident. If I liked him, I wouldn't be with you. I don't know what you're afraid of, or why you lack confidence. How could anyone in this world find a man better than you?"

"you……"

"I don't know what you're angry about. Maybe it's because I've never wanted to be with you in public? Or maybe it's because we don't know each other well enough? But all these things take time. Wu Yue. Don't be angry."

Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Tantai Wuyue felt very strange. She had been furious just now, but after listening to Situ Yaorao's words, her temper inexplicably subsided. All her dissatisfaction and uneasiness could only be suppressed deep in her heart.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Tantai Wuyue said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt."

"No, I'm also at fault. If only I could keep a certain distance between myself and Prince Yun Yi," Situ Yaorao said sincerely. Tantai Wuyue shook her head upon hearing this. "That's not it. I'm not angry about that. I'm just afraid he's taking advantage of you. He never does anything useless. And he doesn't want you and me to be together. I'm just afraid..."

"You underestimate me. If I were so easily provoked, I wouldn't be standing by your side right now, right?"

"That's right." Tantai Wuyue nodded, then smiled gently: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Wuyan."

"Okay." Situ Yaorao smiled faintly, took the man's hand, and let him lead her away. Although Tan Tai Wu Yue had been a little unreasonable just now, but... it still made people feel happy.

"Were you jealous just now?" Situ Yaorao suddenly asked halfway through their journey. Tantai Wuyue stumbled upon hearing this, then shook his head violently, fearing it was too late to explain. Seeing him like this, Situ Yaorao's smile deepened.

Soon, the two men arrived at where the woman was.

Although this yard is remote, it is beautifully decorated.

The vermilion door was closed tightly.

Tan Tai Wu Yue frowned and knocked. A little maid in green came out and saw Tan Tai Wu Yue coming in with a masked woman. She frowned and asked, "What's this girl's face?"

"It was inconvenient to see anyone just now."

"Please take it off. If my princess sees it, she might misunderstand."

"Okay." Tantai Wuyue said, pulling down the veil on Situ Yaorao's face. The little maid was a little surprised to see Situ Yaorao, but still respectfully invited the two people in.

As expected, Princess Wuyan was still sitting in the room waiting for them. The only difference was that there was a kitten beside her.

Walking up to the girl, Tantai Wuyue said, "Wuyan, the person I'm talking about is her." After that, she pulled Situ Yaorao over. When Princess Wuyan saw that it was Situ Yaorao, she was also a little surprised.

"I was really scared today. I thought it was someone who wanted to see me. But I didn't expect it to be General Situ's eldest daughter. I just don't know if you have anything important to talk to me about?" The woman looked at Situ Yaorao, her watery eyes full of curiosity.

Situ Yaorao smiled awkwardly upon hearing this: "To be honest, I came to you because of someone's request."

"Oh? A request? That's interesting. Why don't you tell me about it?" Wu Yan looked at Situ Yaorao and said lightly. Situ Yaorao heard this and glanced at Tan Tai Wu Yue: "You go out first."

"But……"

"Royal brother, I won't eat your little lover." Princess Wuyan said lightly. Tantai Wuyue nodded and walked out.

He also closed the door.

Princess Wuyan and Situ Yaorao were the only two people left in the room. Situ Yaorao knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to Princess Wuyan."

"Hey? No need to be so polite. You are the one my royal brother likes. And you are the daughter of General Situ. It really honors me to perform such a grand ceremony." Princess Wuyan said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao's eyes blazed. "That's not the case. I'm kneeling not to show respect, but to avoid being disrespectful to the princess later."

"Disrespectful? You sent my brother away. I guess you have something important to tell me."

"indeed."

"Then just say whatever you want. I won't punish you no matter what you say. Besides, even if I wanted to punish you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible." Princess Wuyan chuckled.
