The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

The Sixth Prince was so smart that he naturally knew that it was inconvenient for her to show up. But who would have thought that the Ninth Prince, who was so blind, would come!

Thinking this in her heart, Situ Honglei didn't dare to say anything. She only said, "My sister gave me something to eat before. I'm not feeling well. I have indigestion and something's wrong with my body. The doctor told me not to be exposed to the wind when I go out. That's why I'm wearing a veil."

The woman's voice was soft, with a hint of grievance. Situ Yaorao felt her knees hurt when she heard it.

When the Ninth Prince heard this, he became angry: "It's that Situ Yaorao again! I was wondering why that woman was so vicious. I just saw her downstairs. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost 50,000 taels of silver."

What the hell!

Situ Yaorao was completely upset. For the first time, she was impulsive and rushed in without thinking, grabbing the Ninth Prince and asking: Who told you to smash the jade, and who told you to pick a fight?

However, Tan Tai Wu Yue was holding her hand at the moment, and she still had her wits about her. So she had no choice but to say to Tan Tai Wu Yue beside her, "My knees hurt. Let's sit down."

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue nodded and pulled Situ Yaorao to sit by the window.

However, Situ Yaorao's voice made the second floor, which was originally quite lively, fall silent in an instant.

Almost at the same time, both curtains were opened.

"Miss Situ?"

"Situ Yaorao?"

"elder sister?"

The three voices were: the first was Tan Tai Wushang's, the second was the furious Ninth Prince, and the third was Situ Honglei who had just said something bad.

Situ Yaorao heard three voices and smiled. Slowly she opened the curtain and smiled playfully, "Oh, you're here too? What a coincidence."

"I didn't expect that my sister would come to Yulou. I haven't seen my sister for a long time. I am so happy to see you today." Situ Honglei said warmly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Don't worry, sister. I'm thinking about you. Just two days ago, I went to ask my uncle to treat your illness. He almost..."

"Sister, do you want to eat together?" Situ Honglei interrupted hurriedly.

"No, I'm not used to eating large meals." Situ Yaorao said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Honglei's eyes turned red. "Sister, are you really still unwilling to forgive me? Is it because I forced you to get married first, and let you be laughed at by others?"

what the hell!

Situ Yaorao was a little confused.

"Sister, I know this is my fault. But, we are still sisters after all. Even though I've made things difficult for you many times before, I don't care. Really."

The more Situ Honglei spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears began to fall.

The Ninth Prince already disliked Situ Yaorao, and seeing this scene, he was even more disgusted. "What's wrong with you, old woman? You're ugly, and you're so jealous? What does it have to do with my sister-in-law that you can't get married? My sister-in-law doesn't hold grudges and asked you to come over for dinner. Why are you so fussy?"

"Ninth Prince, don't... don't say that to my sister." Situ Honglei hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't worry about it. Today I just want to seek justice for you, my sister-in-law." After saying that, the Ninth Prince rushed to Situ Yaorao.

"What is your Highness doing?" Situ Yaorao glanced at him indifferently.

"Go over and eat, then apologize to my sister-in-law."

"You want me to leave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and go over there to eat? Who gave you the courage?" Situ Yaorao asked angrily and amusedly. The Ninth Prince was also stunned when he heard this.

I was so angry just now that I almost forgot that the prince was still here.

"Then there's no need to eat. Just go over and apologize." The Ninth Prince changed his tone.

"Oh? Then I wonder what mistake I made?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man indifferently and continued to ask.

"You made my sister-in-law cry." The Ninth Prince said seriously.

Situ Yaorao was so angry that she laughed. "Your Highness, even if you are a prince, you should be reasonable, right? I just sat down after I came here, and I didn't even have time to breathe. I only said one sentence. Is this my fault? If so, then she is too sensitive, right? Besides, since ancient times, it has been difficult for an incorruptible official to judge family affairs. Little Prince, this is a matter between us sisters. I think it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Situ Yaorao's tone was icy as she finished speaking, and her attitude turned hostile as she looked at the young prince. Upon hearing this, the young prince felt even more annoyed: "Situ Yaorao, don't be so shameless! I won't touch you, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"Young prince, I would like to return the same words to you. Even though you are a prince, there should always be a reason for what you do. Although I am a weak woman, I will not allow myself to be bullied. If you do this again, don't blame me for being rude." Situ Yaorao stood up and said coldly.

The two looked into each other's eyes, sparks almost flew, and neither of them gave in.

Tantai Wuyue frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Old Nine, it's all right for you to act arrogantly on weekdays, but don't touch her."

"Brother Crown Prince is determined to protect her? Even if she commits a horrific mistake in the future?"

The Ninth Prince's tone was cold and he was getting angry.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue sneered, "So what? It's her fault, and I'll take the blame. If you can't bear her, you can come to me. But... if I find out who touched her, I'll send you a thousand arrows through my heart, no matter where I see you."

Tan Tai Wu Yue's attitude was cold and indifferent. Although Tan Tai Wu Yue usually treated people like this, at this moment, the Ninth Prince's heart skipped a beat. He knew too well that what Tan Tai Wu Yue said was true.

"Royal brother, we are all brothers. Your words are too hurtful." The third prince interrupted.

Tantai Wuyue glanced at the Third Prince and said, "If he doesn't push me too far, I won't go too far."

"Situ Yaorao, you dare to be so arrogant today because the Crown Prince is protecting you. But don't forget, he won't protect you forever." The Ninth Prince said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao smiled. This smile was like a rose with thorns, dangerous yet enchanting. Looking at the man, Situ Yaorao's red lips moved slightly as she said, "Ninth Prince, if one day he doesn't protect me, then naturally I will no longer need his protection. Otherwise, he will protect me until death. Don't believe me? Ask him?"

As she spoke, Situ Yaorao glanced at Tan Tai Wu Yue standing beside her.

The man still had the same expression, but there was no sign of dissatisfaction. Seeing this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but wonder. What kind of evil had befallen the prince?

What's so good about Situ Yaorao that she deserves his protection?

Not only did the Ninth Prince not understand, no one present could comprehend it. How could the normally high-and-mighty Crown Prince be harmed by Situ Yaorao?

Situ Honglei's eyes were rimmed with tears. She looked at Situ Yaorao and said aggrievedly, "Sister has repeatedly harmed me, is it because you have the Crown Prince's protection?"

"I'm hungry." Situ Yaorao said to Tan Tai Wu Yue.

Situ Honglei was ignored, and she gritted her teeth and continued, "Sister is with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If this matter gets to Daddy and Auntie, aren't you afraid that they will be sad?"

Situ Honglei continued.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao's smile froze. She stood up, walked over, saluted the Sixth Prince, and then said to Situ Honglei in a cold voice, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. When did I ever get together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He and I are just friends. It's only natural for friends to protect each other. What's wrong? Is there nothing else on your mind besides love?" Situ Yaorao asked with disdain.

When Situ Honglei heard this, her face turned unhappy.

"Sister, since you are going to get married, you'd better be more mature. Otherwise, be careful that one day people will say that you are not worthy of the Sixth Prince." Situ Yaorao said earnestly.

"I will work hard to be worthy of the Sixth Prince."

"Well, very good. Last time you got engaged, did you read the ring I gave you carefully? Remember to read it carefully. You unilaterally broke off the engagement, and it almost caused me, your elder sister, to get married. If you don't read the ring, I'm afraid that next time you will cause the whole family to be executed."

Situ Yaorao still spoke in a serious tone, and when the Sixth Prince and Situ Honglei heard these words, their faces turned ugly.

The Sixth Prince possessed both literary and martial talents, possessing unparalleled talent and beauty. He was arguably one of the few desirable young men in the capital. Furthermore, his royal family made him a valuable candidate for the throne. He was the man every woman in the world desired to marry.
