The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao was slightly moved when she heard this. It was indeed as Yu Sheng had said. If she went out alone, she would inevitably be missed. Although Yu Sheng was a bit talkative, she was indeed well-informed.

Maybe it can save a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

"Really?" Yu Sheng was a little excited.

"This matter is beneficial to me, so of course I will agree to it." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"Then let's leave now." Yu Sheng said.

"Now? Don't you need to make some arrangements?"

"Don't worry, even if I'm not here, everything will be the same as usual. Besides, if we make any arrangements, it will make them feel uneasy. It's only for half a month." Yu Sheng said.

"That's right." Situ Yaorao nodded, and the two of them went out together. However, there were some things Yu Sheng didn't tell Situ Yaorao. If this restaurant grew bigger in the future, it would definitely need a lot of managers.

If these managers don't know the ins and outs of the restaurant, they will cause great harm to the restaurant. Therefore, Yu Sheng's eyes fell on the people in the restaurant.

Of course, he couldn't make a hasty decision. Therefore, his departure this time was a test. If these people could manage the restaurant well after he left, without Situ Yaorao, it would prove that they were indeed capable, and he could bring this up with Situ Yaorao later. If they failed to manage the restaurant well, then it would mean that these people were not worth mentioning to Situ Yaorao. This was a gamble. It was these people who were at stake.

If Situ Yaorao were to tell this, she would absolutely strangle Yu Sheng to death. Only Yu Sheng could take such a huge risk with her restaurant.

The carriage slowly drove out of the imperial city. Situ Yaorao looked at the scenery outside the city and felt a little dazed.

"Are you okay?" Yu Sheng seemed to see Situ Yaorao's uneasiness and asked softly. Situ Yaorao shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's just that this is the first time I've been away from the Imperial City for such a long time, and I'm feeling a little emotional."

"Just be at ease." Yu Sheng said.

"Yu Sheng, if the Moonlight Poison breaks out, you must help me take good care of this restaurant. When problems arise in the Situ family in the future, give everything that belongs to me to my mother." Situ Yaorao couldn't help but say.

"Nothing will happen to you." Yu Sheng said firmly.

"How can you be so sure?" Situ Yaorao was a little puzzled.

Yu Sheng shook her head. "I don't know either, but for some reason I just have a feeling that you'll be fine. So, don't overthink it. There are so many miracles in this world. There might not be another one like you. Besides, this Moonlight Poison is not incurable. As long as you are patient, there will always be a way."

"Yes, I thought so before. However, I don't have the time and patience to wait. The Moonlight Poison has three stages. The first stage is the loss of vitality at night, and it will return to normal at the first sunrise. However, some vitality will not be restored. Over time, it will be like a tree being eaten away by termites. It will gradually become empty.

Initially, I just felt weak upon waking. This was the first stage. The second stage was when the attack began, and my black hair turned white. There was no recovery.

"Until now, I've been stuck in the first stage. My hair will turn white, but it will return to normal with the first rays of the sun. But yesterday... when I woke up early this morning, my hair hadn't returned to normal." Situ Yaorao's voice trembled as she spoke. She couldn't forget the devastating feeling she felt at that moment.

"Isn't your hair still black?"

"This is just a medicine. Once my moonlight poison attacks again, my hair will turn white. It will never recover. Unless the poison is detoxified." Situ Yaorao explained.

At this time, Yu Sheng finally understood why Situ Yaorao wanted to leave the imperial city.

"Once the second stage of the Moonlight Poison is activated, I will age a little after each attack. Gradually, I will grow old and die. This period will not exceed a month. I don't want this to happen, so... I can only come to Xunyang. My mother let me out because of this." Situ Yaorao said.

Yu Sheng frowned upon hearing this: "So, if this doesn't work out, you're going to die?"

"That's about right. It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Situ Yaorao's eyes were filled with mockery. However, Yu Sheng couldn't laugh. How could such a thing be so funny?

"I still have many unfulfilled wishes. I dreamed of opening restaurants all over the Lanlin Dynasty and the four kingdoms one day. But in the end, I will never see that day. Yusheng, if I am truly hopeless, I will give you the winemaking recipe." Situ Yaorao said lightly, feeling exhausted.

"I don't need it. If you are not here, this restaurant will naturally not continue to operate. Although the restaurant is good, it is not as good as the Yu family's. I stayed only because I am impressed by your ambition." The monk said lightly.

Situ Yaorao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "You are so straightforward."

"If anything happens to you, I will help you take care of Madam Situ. However, by then, I won't be needed, and there will be someone to help."

"Perhaps. I just want an extra layer of security." Situ Yaorao said lazily. After she finished, she actually fell asleep. She hadn't slept all night due to the tension, but now beside Yu Sheng, she fell asleep quickly. Seeing this, Yu Sheng couldn't help but feel helpless. She found a blanket from the carriage and covered her with it.

Looking at Situ Yaorao, Yu Sheng felt that God was actually very cruel.

Someone like Situ Yaorao has to bear the sins that she shouldn't have to bear.

She was exceptional, the best woman he had ever met. He could even imagine her future achievements. But in the end, she was entangled by this poison.

Xunyang City is not far from the capital, and because of this, its economy is also very developed, and it can be said to be a small capital. It was two days later that Situ Yaorao and Yu Sheng arrived in Xunyang.

Because they were in a hurry, the two of them hardly had any rest on the way.

The sun was shining brightly as the woman stepped out of the carriage, supported by the man in white. Both men were handsome. They lined up at the city gate to enter, attracting quite a few onlookers.

When Situ Yaorao was in the capital, she rarely received such treatment. After all, everyone in the capital knew her or had seen her before. Therefore, they kept their distance from her.

But Xunyang is different.

Although she was notorious, not everyone knew what she looked like. Therefore, she attracted a lot of onlookers, and some were even brave enough to come and chat with her.

In just a short while at the city gate, no less than ten people came to chat with her. However, Yu Sheng turned them all away.

"You hadn't anticipated this situation long ago, so you came with me, right?" Situ Yaorao was now very glad that she had brought Yu Sheng with her. Otherwise, what would have happened?

Yu Sheng simply smiled. He thought it was inconvenient for a woman to go out alone, but he was unaware of the customs in Xunyang City.

After much difficulty, the two of them made it through the queue and into Xunyang City. Inside the city, every household planted peonies, and the flowers bloomed beautifully in front of their doors.

It made the two of them feel like they had entered a city of flowers.

"It's so beautiful here. No wonder the miracle doctor wants to settle here." Situ Yaorao sighed.

Yu Sheng shook her head: "I came to Xunyang three years ago. There were not so many peonies in Xunyang three years ago. Besides, don't you think there is something strange in the city?" Yu Sheng frowned when she said this.

"Strange?" After Yu Sheng's reminder, Situ Yaorao also noticed it. Although this place was beautiful, the people in the city were all frowning, as if they were about to face a disaster.

This situation would be understandable if it only happened to one or two businesses, but it is unacceptable if every business here is like this.

"There is indeed a problem, but if it has nothing to do with us, then let's not worry about it." Situ Yaorao suppressed her curiosity and said lightly. You know, she only has half a month. She has already wasted two days on the road.

"That's right. Let's find an inn first," Yu Sheng said, leading the way. They quickly found a cleaner inn. Inside, every table was decorated with peonies, which puzzled Situ Yaorao.

"My two guests, would you like to stay overnight or stay at the hotel?"
