The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao really wanted to curse at this moment.

If you were unlucky, even drinking cold water would make your teeth ache. She was just taking a break under the willow tree, and yet someone discovered her. And the person didn't move at all. She was so frightened that she didn't dare move either.

In the middle of the night, the two people just stood there facing each other.

Liu Chen wasn't in a hurry; he wished he could just stand there forever. But Situ Yaorao was anxious. She still wanted to pick peonies. So, the two of them stood there, each with their own thoughts.

A cold wind blew past, and Situ Yaorao felt that she couldn't go on like this. So Situ Yaorao stood up and slipped the dagger she usually used for self-defense from her sleeve. After covering it, she walked silently in front of the man. Looking at the handsome man with eyes like stars in front of her, she smiled: "Who are you, sir?"

The woman's voice was soft, with a hint of a smile. When it reached Liu Chen's ears, it felt as if a hole had been opened in his heart. It was out of control.

"Who is this young lady? Where do you live? What's your name? Are you married?" Liu Chen looked at Situ Yaorao and blurted out these words. Then Situ Yaorao felt sick.

Is this a household registration check?

Or did he notice something? Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao's eyes turned cold.

As if realizing his abruptness, Liu Chen blushed and hurriedly explained, "My name is Liu Chen. I accidentally disturbed you for some reason. Is there anything that is troubling you here? If so, just tell me and I will help you." The man's tone was very gentle, which surprised Situ Yaorao.

Liu Chen?

Someone from the Liu family? Why is she so unlucky?

Thinking about it, Situ Yaorao remained expressionless: "I want to go to the garden to take a look."

"Garden? What's so good about it?" Liu Chen frowned.

"This is my first time at the Liu family. I've heard their peonies are unique, so I'd like to come and see them. Is that possible?" Situ Yaorao said innocently. She also realized that the man in front of her had no hostility towards her.

"I'll take you there." Liu Chen looked at Situ Yaorao and agreed to her request. Although he didn't know what this woman was going to do in the garden, he didn't want to refuse her.

With Liu Chen leading the way, the two quickly arrived at the Liu family's garden. Here, only peonies were planted. The flowers were in full bloom. Situ Yaorao walked in and picked a peony in front of Liu Chen.

Liu Chen's expression changed instantly: "What do you mean?"

Liu Chen had just finished speaking when he saw Situ Yaorao eat the peony. Then, Liu Chen was completely frightened.

In truth, Situ Yaorao hadn't wanted to eat them. But if she only picked them, it would arouse suspicion. If she hadn't met this man, she might have taken her time. But she did. As you can imagine, the result was miserable. However, if this Liu Chen had even the slightest intention of informing on her, she would absolutely kill him.

Desperate.

Liu Chen didn't move or shout. He just stared blankly at Situ Yaorao picking the peony and swallowing it. It was like a dream. After a while, half of the peonies were gone. Liu Chen understood. Something bad had happened!

The city lord valued the peony flower, but this woman in red had eaten half of it. Who knows what big trouble will happen to the Liu family tomorrow.

Situ Yaorao wanted to keep eating, but she was full! Besides, this food wasn't tasty at all. Looking at the messy garden, Situ Yaorao smiled and walked up to the man. "Master Liu Chen, let's keep tonight's events a secret between you and me, okay?" Situ Yaorao looked at Liu Chen and pleaded.

He should have refused, but Liu Chen nodded involuntarily and agreed. This even made him feel strange.

Hearing his agreement, Situ Yaorao's smile deepened.

In this world, there is a kind of feeling called love at first sight. Situ Yaorao didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Liu Chen's attitude at this time, she felt that it was still somewhat credible.

Because Liu Chen obviously liked her.

This is really unexpected.

"You...you should leave quickly and don't come back. If what happened in this garden gets out, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Xunyang City." Liu Chen looked at Situ Yaorao and said hurriedly.

"Oh? You know I'm not from Xunyang City?"

"You don't have that smell on you." Liu Chen whispered.

"What is the taste?"

"It smells like a dead person." Liu Chen continued. However, Situ Yaorao was surprised: "You know?"

Liu Chen nodded: "Almost all the wealthy families in this city know about it. But no one can resist. Because of the city lord, and also because of the person who gave the city lord this idea. Tomorrow, my family members will definitely investigate the matter about the peony. I... I will help you hide it. But don't do this again. This flower is not delicious at all." Liu Chen said nervously.

For Liu Chen, he doesn't care what the peony looks like.

"Thank you." Situ Yaorao's words were truly heartfelt. She looked at the man, thought for a moment, and said, "If you have anything to do in the future, please go to the capital. I'll treat you to a drink." After saying this, Situ Yaorao turned and left.

She had originally wanted to tell him to come find her when he needed help, but she didn't want to expose herself, so she changed her words and quietly left.

Liu Chen blinked, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his pure eyes.

Situ Yaorao finished her meal and returned to the Liu family's banquet. Yu Sheng saw her return and looked at her. However, she didn't have the peony in her hand. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Situ Yaorao didn't say anything the entire time. It wasn't until they left the Liu family's house that she said, "I'm stuffed to death."

This sentence made Yu Sheng's expression become strange: "You didn't swallow those peonies, did you?"

"Isn't it?" Situ Yaorao said helplessly, "It's obviously impossible to bring so many peonies out. So, I ate them there. But I also learned one thing."

"What's the matter?" Yu Sheng asked in confusion.

"The wealthy families all know the secret of the peony. But they dare not resist." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Yu Sheng was also shocked when she heard this.

After all, this kind of thing is a bit weird.

"Let's go back first. I'm feeling a little unwell." Situ Yaorao said calmly. Yu Sheng nodded and the two of them returned to the inn.

Late at night, Situ Yaorao felt her body heating up. It felt as if a fire was burning her internal organs. Her face flushed crimson, and she spat out a last gulp of blood.

Yu Sheng, who was sleeping on the ground, was awakened to see Situ Yaorao with a head full of silver hair and blood on her lips. Her face was flushed and she seemed to be in pain.

"what happened to you?"

"I don't know. Take me to see the divine doctor." Situ Yaorao's voice was hoarse and anxious. Yu Sheng naturally didn't neglect her. She carried her on her back, covered her head with clothes, and ran out.

It was quite far from the inn to the Divine Doctor Bupo's place, but Yu Sheng didn't dare to stop along the way, fearing that something might go wrong.

When the two arrived in front of the door of the Divine Doctor Bupo, the two children were still standing there with expressionless faces.

"I need to see the miracle doctor."

"It's the beautiful sister." The little boy said. Then he opened the door. This made Yu Sheng a little confused. Situ Yaorao didn't show her face at this time. How did these two children know who she was?

However, Yu Sheng didn't have time to care about these things at the moment. He entered the house and pushed the door open. At this time, the divine doctor Bu Po was reading a book. Seeing Yu Sheng come in with someone on his back, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Help me take care of her." Yu Sheng said, putting Situ Yaorao down, and then saw the woman fall into his arms.

The woman's silver hair was a bit dazzling, and her rosy complexion made people feel itchy.

The divine doctor Bupo glanced at her calmly and said, "You've eaten too much."

This one sentence made Yu Sheng's face look strange.

Haha! I ate too much!

"Although I told her that the peonies in this city would be useful to her, I forgot to tell her not to use too much. Also, judging by her condition, she must have eaten them raw. Peonies have a fatal attraction for someone like her, but the way she eats them is deadly." After saying this, Divine Doctor Bupo took the person from Yu Sheng's arms and said, "Leave her with me. You can live here too."
