The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Ruobai nodded. "I like her very much. It may sound a little ridiculous, but for me, being with her is simply the happiest thing in my life. From the moment I was brought to the Situ family, I saw a series of masks. Only she was vivid, never hiding anything. So straightforward, so dazzling. Even though I knew it would be impossible, I still fell in love with her. Over the years, I have worked hard, just for her. She likes handsome men and is deeply in love with the prince, but the prince refuses to even look at her. Later, perhaps because she had completely given up on herself, she made such a heinous mistake and ended up like that. But no matter how bad others say she is, I still like her.

This girl, though seemingly vicious and occasionally unkind, would cry silently by herself after doing something bad. She didn't understand intrigue or the importance of forbearance. She simply followed her heart. I, on the other hand, was the opposite. I lived by the demands of others, and only in her presence could I let go of a life of intrigue and scheming. She was perhaps the last vestige of peace in my heart.

Of course, these... people like you won't understand. After all, you get what you want."

Situ Ruobai said indifferently.

However, Situ Ruobai was right. Situ Yaorao didn't understand. It was no exaggeration to say that in her two lives, she had never failed to obtain what she wanted.

Even if her life wasn't entirely smooth sailing, she still had the right to choose. She was still the envy of others. The love of Tan Tai Wu Yue, the body's original owner's longed for, was within her grasp.

What this body cannot do is to make Mrs. Situ happy, but she can do it.

The man she loved also loved her. All of this was a victory. Therefore, she did not understand men's minds. As for intrigue, she was good at it and disdained to use it.

Because it is not necessary.

Situ Yaorao didn't know how to comfort Situ Ruobai, so the two of them remained silent for a long time.

"As a brother, I've gone too far. My sister is getting married, and yet I've told you so many things I shouldn't have. You should rest well. Marry the prince, and be careful. I don't want to hear rumors one day of you being beheaded."

"Do you consider this a curse?" Situ Yaorao was a little amused.

"Just take it as a warning." Situ Ruobai said.

"Thank you very much. However, that day will never come. Absolutely not." Situ Yaorao said confidently. Situ Ruobai was a little puzzled: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because I'm not that stupid." Situ Yaorao's words left Situ Ruobai speechless. He really didn't know where she got her confidence from. However, it was good to have confidence. At least he could rest assured.

"Brother, have some tea." Situ Yaorao and Situ Ruobai had opened up, and naturally, they felt more relaxed. So, she made tea for the man. Situ Ruobai was a little amused. So, he hadn't even had the chance to drink tea?

Even though Situ Yaorao brewed tea, he was still willing to drink it. Drinking it meant acknowledging it. He acknowledged this sister.

The two were drinking tea when they heard a bang and Lian'er rolled in. She was soaking wet. As soon as she came in and saw Situ Yaorao, she burst into tears: "Miss, Miss is not well, please go to the lotus pond and save Miss Xiu'er."

"Huh? What happened?" Situ Yaorao put down the teacup and asked in confusion.

"Miss, just now Miss Xiu'er and I were admiring the flowers in the lotus pond, but Miss Honglei also came. Princess Lianqiao was with her. Miss Xiu'er was very scared of Princess Lianqiao and wanted to leave. But Princess Lianqiao stopped Miss Xiu'er and said that since you are here, you can have a good chat, and then... Princess Lianqiao said that she wanted to eat the koi in the lotus pond and ordered Miss Xiu'er to go into the water to catch them. Miss Xiu'er can't swim, but Princess Lianqiao kicked her into the water. Miss, please save Miss Xiu'er quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." Lian'er sobbed and couldn't say anything anymore.

Is this still available?

When Situ Yaorao heard this, she felt sick. Madam Situ had always loved Xiu'er very much. If anything happened to Xiu'er, Madam Situ would be very distressed. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao could no longer sit still. She stood up and said to Situ Ruobai, "Brother, I'll go over and take a look."

"I'll go check it out too. Cousin Xiu'er looks so sweet, and I haven't met her yet." Situ Ruobai also offered to go along. Then the three of them went to the lotus pond together.

At this time, the lotus pond.

In the early morning mist, a woman in white struggled in the lotus pond, her face pale and bloodless. Her eyes were red as water from the pond poured into her mouth. "Save...save me, save me...Princess, please, please."

The woman's words were incomplete.

On the shore, Princess Lianqiao heard Xiu'er's words and laughed sarcastically. Her nails, painted with red paint, looked particularly luxurious. She fiddled with her fingers, a mocking expression on her pretty face. "Save you? Save you for what? How would I know if you don't tell me? And, I've been asking you to catch fish for quite some time. Why haven't you caught any? Are you trying to disobey me?"

"Princess, Sister Xiu'er is a woman after all. I think it would be difficult for her to catch fish." Situ Honglei said lightly. But there was no trace of pity on her face. There was only gloating.

"Hmph! A girl? Just looking at her pitiful appearance makes me angry!" Lian Qiao had a reason for doing this. Last time, Xiu'er looked like she was going to push her, which scared her. Princess Lian Qiao always holds grudges. When she came here today, she saw Xiu'er with the maidservant next to Situ Yaorao.

So anger came from my heart, and I had such a torturous thought.

Looking at the woman struggling in the pool, Princess Lianqiao sneered, "People just have to accept their fate. Your status determines your future. Since you're destined to accept your fate, don't try to find ways to struggle. You'll only hurt yourself. Look at you, isn't it? You're just a useless piece of shit, and you dare to threaten me. This is the end."

Princess Lianqiao finished speaking and threw fish food into the pond, hitting the woman squarely on the head. Xiu'er was standing on a stone, afraid to take a step. If she moved, she would sink to the bottom of the pond again.

Xiu'er's face was pale. The stone was covered with thorns, making it difficult for her to stand.

The cold water in the pool made her face pale.

The hatred in my heart also deepened.

"Princess, Xiu'er is still Madam Situ's favorite. If you really do something to her, I'm afraid she won't let you off."

"So what? A bitch dared to threaten this princess and disrespect her. I'll kill her. If you have anything to say, please go with me to the Queen Mother. I want to see who dares to ask for punishment." Princess Lianqiao said with disdain, clearly not afraid of any of this. Of course, she had the capital to do so. After all, she was a princess. She didn't dare touch Situ Yaorao because General Situ and the Crown Prince were there. However, the woman in the pool was completely useless.

In this way, even if she killed a hundred people, no one would care.

Although the people of the Gu family are scary, they would not go against the Queen for a girl from another family.

Thinking about this, Lian Qiao became even more unscrupulous.

"What are you doing!" Situ Yaorao and Lian'er rushed over and finally got angry when they saw the woman in the pool with a pale face who seemed like she would collapse at any time.

Princess Lianqiao frowned slightly when she heard Situ Yaorao's voice. "What? I'm punishing a girl who disrespected me, and you're interfering?"

Situ Yaorao suppressed her anger, looked at Princess Lianqiao, and said in a deep voice, "It's none of my business what kind of girl the princess punishes. But, the person in the lake isn't just a girl, but my cousin. I think Princess Lianqiao should know this very well, right?"

"I don't know what cousin is. I only know that she offended me."
