The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Brother Crown Prince, are you still going to protect this bitch?" The Ninth Prince's eyes turned red with anger.

"Watch your words." Tantai Wuyue's attitude was indifferent, and her beautiful eyes were filled with indifference. It seemed that she didn't take the Ninth Prince seriously at all.

"Wording? She's committing an insubordination, so what's wrong with me wanting to teach her a lesson?"

"Not really." Tantai Wuyue said this, but she protected Situ Yaorao even tighter: "If you want to punish her, that's your business. If I want to protect her, that's mine."

"You!" The Ninth Prince felt like he was holding back a suffocating anger, unable to move forward or back down. Punish Situ Yaorao? Haha, he didn't have the courage to go against the Crown Prince.

Although he was on the side of the Sixth Prince, he could not be disrespectful to the Crown Prince at such a sensitive time, otherwise he would cause trouble for the Sixth Prince.

For most of his life, the Ninth Prince feared no one and worried about nothing. The Sixth Prince was his only weakness. When he was young, the Sixth Prince was the only one in the palace who cared for him.

So he had sworn that he would definitely assist the Sixth Prince in his lifetime. He certainly didn't want to cause trouble for the Sixth Prince because of this matter. However, this Situ Yaorao was really too infuriating.

Unable to contain his anger, the Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeves, with a crisp sound.

At this moment, everyone in Yulou was stunned.

Situ Yaorao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a table full of jade artifacts, all fallen to the ground and shattered. On the ground, a crack was clearly visible.

Is this... the rhythm of destroying things? Thinking about the cost of building this jade building, Situ Yaorao suddenly felt a little sorry for the Ninth Prince.

Not to mention her, even the prince turned his head away with some pity, patted his shoulder and said: "Sixth Brother will understand you."

The Ninth Prince's eyes flushed redder upon hearing this. "Consideration?" What the hell! Why was he so unlucky? Nothing good ever came of seeing Situ Yaorao. Last time, because of Situ Yaorao, Third Brother and his cousin had a riot, and everyone on the boat was in turmoil. Hearing the two of them being so affectionate and flirtatious. This time, seeing her, he was so angry he smashed Sixth Brother's beloved Jade Tower.

When the Ninth Prince thought of the Sixth Prince's angry look, he even wanted to die.

There was only one servant in the Jade Tower. He was originally the steward of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but was later sent here. He was in charge of all matters here, and the Sixth Prince would also stay here when he had nothing to do.

Therefore, the people in the Jade Tower would write down what they wanted to eat on a piece of paper and then hand it to the jade table over there. Then, they would strike the jade drum before someone would come out to take the order.

The old butler would come down only when the money was collected. Of course, there was another possibility, which was the death of a hero.

Before everyone was stunned, the old butler had already walked out of the room. Looking at the broken jade and the cracks on the ground, his face instantly turned dark.

The old butler was still in good health. Although he was over sixty, he still walked with the swiftness of the wind. After rushing over, he heartbrokenly picked up all the jades on the ground and put them into a box. Then he stood up and said expressionlessly, "Gentlemen, who broke the jade?"

"Uncle Gu, it's me." The Ninth Prince said with a sad face.

The old housekeeper twitched his lips when he heard this: "Ninth Prince, our Jade Tower has its rules. Look, are you going to pay the money? Or?"

"Pay compensation." The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth.

"Ninth Prince, this is the third time you've broken something in our Jade Tower. This time, you've even gone so far as to crack the ground. Therefore, I'm going to pay you fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Why don't you go and rob it!" The Ninth Prince was angry.

"You can talk to the Sixth Prince. As it happens, the Prince is upstairs today." The old butler said expressionlessly.

When the Ninth Prince heard that the Sixth Prince was upstairs, he was startled: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Then he said to Mo Shu over there: "Please give me some money. I'm going to see Sixth Brother."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shu silently took out a silver note and handed it to the old butler.

After the old butler accepted the banknote, he glanced at Tan Tai Wu Yue and said respectfully, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Uncle Gu, there's no need to be so polite."

"Your Highness, what are you doing today?"

"Bring her here to eat something." Tantai Wuyue chuckled, then sat down at another table, scribbled down a few dishes, and handed them to Uncle Gu: "Thank you for your help."

"Your Highness is too polite. This is the first time I have seen you bring a guest here. This young lady must be the Miss Situ who is making such a fuss in the capital."

"Uncle Gu, she and I..." Tan Tai Wu Yue thought of Situ Yaorao's attitude towards them and wanted to explain something, but Uncle Gu shook his head: "Your Highness, there is no need to explain anything. I am already old. If you can't even see this, then you must have lived a life of poverty at this age. You two, please go upstairs. It happens that the Sixth Prince is here too. The Prince hasn't seen you for some time." After speaking, Uncle Gu left tremblingly.

"This is his own guess, it's not my fault." Tan Tai Wu Yue said innocently.

"Who is that Uncle Gu?"

"Him?" Tantai Wuyue smiled, looking at the old man's trembling back, and said, "He is the greatest general of our Lanlin Dynasty."

"You seem to be kidding me." Situ Yaorao looked at Tan Tai Wu Yue, clearly showing her disbelief.

"I'm not kidding you. Thirty years ago, he was indeed my Lanlin's great general. He was a master of military strategy, a master of martial arts, and he cared deeply about his officers and the people. In my Lanlin, there is no better general than him."

"Then why did he?"

"He did this voluntarily. He made great contributions to Lan Lin, but the woman he loved married my father. And that woman's child is my sixth brother. He voluntarily left the officialdom to assist my sixth brother, believing that my sixth brother is a man of great talent. My sixth brother has grown up over the years and there is no need for him to do anything. That's why he was sent here. My sixth brother didn't want Uncle Gu to lose his prestige in the backyard, so he let him come here to live out his life." Tan Tai Wu Yue said.

"Are you envious?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said almost with certainty.

Tan Tai Wu Yue was stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled: "Maybe, I am envious. Okay, let's go upstairs." Tan Tai Wu Yue said, pulling Situ Yaorao upstairs.

There are even fewer seats upstairs. In such a large place, there are only four round tables.

There was a white jade bead curtain in the middle, but the faces of those people could still be vaguely seen.

The voices from behind the bead curtain came out even louder and noisier.

"Cousin, my heart aches." A woman's soft voice came from the table on the left. Situ Yaorao would never forget the owner of this voice.

"Qingling, I've told you long ago that this kind of place is not suitable for you. Your body can't get cold." Tan Tai Wushang's voice sounded with a hint of helplessness.

"But I want to be with my cousin." The woman said a little aggrievedly.

Tan Tai Wu Shang didn't say anything else.

"Sixth brother, I was wrong. Please lend me fifty thousand taels. Can you bear to see me so poor?" This was the voice of the Ninth Prince. He was sitting at the table behind Leng Qingling and was pestering the Sixth Prince for money.

"You still dare to ask? How many things of mine have you broken? How many times have I given you money? This time, no deal."

"Sixth brother, look at you? You're getting married soon. Why are you still so stingy?"

"Shut up!" the Sixth Prince said coldly.

"Hey? Sister-in-law, what's wrong with your face? Why is it still covered?" Seeing that the Sixth Prince didn't say anything, the Ninth Prince said to the woman beside him. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao knew who the woman behind the curtain was.

It was obviously Situ Honglei who dared not show her face next to the Sixth Prince. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao wanted to laugh.

Situ Honglei also had a lot of grievances that she couldn't express.

In order to harm Situ Yaorao, she deliberately got information about the Situ family's past and even swallowed pills, just to embarrass Situ Yaorao and make her marry her uncle.

If this kind of news gets out, Situ Yaorao will never see anyone again in her life.

But who would have thought? That man didn't even marry her, but instead treated her illness. After the treatment, her face was covered in pimples. When her father asked about it, they simply said it was the toxins that hadn't been expelled. There was no definite timeline for how long they would be expelled. And she couldn't delay the Sixth Prince. Hence the veil.
