The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Princess, I have never cared about your appearance. I only care about you as a person. I have never thought about whether there can be a future between you and me. As long as I still love you, it is enough. In these years, I have never given up thinking about you. You said you were ugly, so I liked those who were uglier than you. Because in my eyes, you are the most beautiful one. You said you didn't want to see me, so I didn't go to see you. I thought you would be happy. But if you are not happy, then this all ends here."

"Huh?" Princess Wuyan looked at the man in confusion.

"I don't want to continue to have this unrequited love. If the princess is willing, I would like to marry her." Mo Zhu said.

"Haha, marry me? Because of my princess status?" Wuyan sneered.

"That's not the case. Princess, it doesn't matter if you are a commoner or a royal relative. I just want to marry you. We can retire to the mountains or live an ordinary life in the capital. We can work from sunrise to sunset." Mo Zhu continued.

Princess Wuyan fell silent after hearing this.

She looked at the man with a hint of smile in her eyes: "You are still the same, always so unambitious."

"All I'm pursuing is the princess." Mo Zhu said.

"Mo Zhu, people can't live on emotions. Just like, I can't live a life like you. We are different. On the way here, I was thinking that if I saw you, I would make you commit suicide out of shame. You made me like this. But after seeing you, I regretted it. I don't want to blame you anymore. Because this has nothing to do with you. It was me who trusted you and was too careless. I thought that if you changed, I would continue to use you. But you haven't changed at all. I am also a little curious. How did a family like the Mo family raise someone like you who is so indifferent to the world?"

Princess Wuyan said with a helpless smile.

But in her heart, she no longer had any intention of attacking him.

"For me, being with the princess is my motivation for doing things. Princess, do you think I have no ambition and that's why you don't like me? If that's the case, I can change."

"You don't have to change. I'm tired and don't want to argue anymore. Mozhu, for you, the best choice is not me. And for me, the best choice is also not you. What happened between us was just a mistaken acquaintance. I figured this out as early as the time I was imprisoned. I don't want to see you again, and I just don't want to completely end this entanglement. Now that we have met, let's completely break off this relationship." Princess Wuyan's voice sounded faintly.

She looked so sad.

Situ Yaorao watched from the shadows, deeply convinced. This woman was in love with Mo Zhu. If she wasn't in love, she wouldn't have such an expression. If she wasn't in love, she wouldn't have stood in front of Mo Zhu and said so many words.

However, these are just Situ Yaorao's feelings.

At this moment, the only thing in Mo Zhu's mind and heart was that it was inappropriate.

The princess finally rejected him.

"Princess...why do you still reject me?"

"It's not that I want to reject you, but we are not suitable." Princess Wuyan said lightly.

"I can become whatever kind of person the princess wants. I can change." Mo Zhu grabbed Princess Wuyan's hand and said anxiously.

Princess Wuyan looked at Mo Zhu calmly, and finally sighed softly: "How about this, if you really love me, then live well. If ten years later, you still love me as always. If you don't live in such a muddle-headed way in these ten years, I will marry you."

"Are you just trying to fool me?" Mo Zhu frowned.

"I'm not being perfunctory, I'm serious. If you still love me at that time, I will be with you. If you are willing to wait for me for ten years, I will give you a response." Princess Wuyan said lightly.

Mo Zhu was ecstatic when he heard this: "I am willing. Not to mention ten years, even if it's a lifetime, I am willing to wait."

"But you shouldn't live your life in this muddle anymore," Princess Wuyan continued.

"I won't do that anymore," the man promised.

Hearing him say this, Princess Wuyan smiled with satisfaction: "Alright. Master Moshu, please come out."

In the dark, Mo Shu heard this and came out. He said expressionlessly, "You want to leave the Imperial City? According to the agreement between you and the Mo family, we can send you anywhere."

"Send me back to the palace." said Princess Wuyan.

Princess Wuyan’s words left Mo Shu stunned.

"What? Surprised?"

"Indeed." Mo Shu said without any concealment.

"In the eyes of you Mo family members, this princess is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals, right? This time I came to see Mo Zhu just to use the Mo family to escape from that cage, right?" Princess Wuyan asked with a smile.

"The princess is indeed such a person. Don't blame my Mo family for misunderstanding." Mo Shu said.

"Indeed, I am such a person. However, there will always be an unexpected event. This was my plan before coming here. But now, I have changed my mind. I will wait for him for ten years. If he still likes me after ten years, I will be with him. This can be considered as understanding this grudge."

"If the princess is so willing, why does it take another ten years?"

"This is my business and has nothing to do with you." Wuyan said.

"Princess, please." Mo Shu didn't ask any more questions and left with Princess Wuyan. He even forgot to mock Mo Zhu. Because this result really surprised him.

He originally thought that Princess Wuyan would mock Mo Zhu harshly and then let the Mo family take her away from the imperial city, but he didn't expect that Princess Wuyan gave Mo Zhu a chance.

This was simply a fairy tale. But the facts were right before his eyes, forcing him to believe it. Therefore, he had no choice but to leave with the princess.

However, what he didn't know was that Princess Wuyan was like this because she was moved again after seeing Mozhu. How could one forget human feelings so easily?

She loves Mozhu, just as Mozhu loves her.

After everyone left, Situ Yaorao and Yu Sheng also came out. Yu Sheng's face looked much better now. She looked at Mo Zhu and said, "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted."

"Is this really what I wanted?" Mo Zhu was a little confused.

"Of course. Otherwise, why do you think the princess would return to the palace? The palace is not a good place for her. She is willing to go back there for you and wait for another ten years. Doesn't this speak volumes?" Yu Sheng asked back.

Mo Zhu felt a little relieved when he heard this.

"I've never seen her like this before. Why did she make that ten-year agreement?" Mo Zhu was puzzled. If she loved him, she should be together day and night.

"Perhaps, the princess is not sure whether your feelings can last long. And she also has things she has to do." Situ Yaorao guessed from the side.

"Something I have to do?"

"There is no doubt that Princess Wuyan likes you. If she didn't like you, she would have kicked you off the cliff long ago. Why would she say so much to you?" Situ Yaorao said.

Mo Zhu smiled when he heard this: "Maybe that's the case. I've been waiting for so long, ten years is no different." Mo Zhu felt relieved. After meeting Princess Wuyan, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.

"Since you have already achieved the result, you should fulfill your promise to me, right? Princess Wuyan has also said that she will not let you continue to live in a muddle." Situ Yaorao changed the subject and asked.

Mo Zhu was stunned when he heard this, but he nodded: "Since you want it, I agree."

"That's good that you agree. When we get back, cook a table of dishes for us to try. If they're not good, I won't want you." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

On the side, Yu Sheng echoed Situ Yaorao's words and said, "Right! Who knows if your skills have regressed over the years."

"Go back, I'll show you my skills."

Mo Zhu was clearly in a good mood at this point. He readily agreed. Since there was food, Situ Yaorao and Yu Sheng were naturally eager to follow him back.

The three of them looked so calm and warm at this moment. However, at this moment, the Situ family...

Lian'er lay on the floor of Madam Situ's room. Her face was pale. In her hand, she held a green jade bottle. The blue liquid at the bottle's mouth looked dangerous.

Madam Situ looked at Lian'er coldly, her tone indifferent: "This is the price you pay for not keeping an eye on Yaorao. Lian'er, remember this pain. If it happens again, I will definitely take your life!"
