The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

After Situ Yaorao rescued Xiu'er, she did not go back, but walked outside with Situ Ruobai. Situ Ruobai walked in front, and Situ Yaorao followed behind him.

As the man walked, he would talk about what Situ Yaorao was like back then.

Situ Yaorao also learned from Situ Ruobai about the other side of this body's former owner. While she was spoiled, arrogant, and a nymphomaniac, these traits were also part of her. However, at heart, this woman was kind. Naturally, what Situ Ruobai had told her today only confirmed her previous suspicions. If she had been even slightly more ruthless, Situ Honglei wouldn't have bullied her to death.

Even she was somewhat affected by this body and softened her heart. Otherwise, if Situ Honglei had provoked her every day like this, she would have beaten Situ Honglei to tears.

Not to mention curing her face.

"I'm telling you this not because I want you to be like her, but... I just hope you don't follow her path in the future." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and said lightly.

Situ Ruobai always has a cold attitude towards others.

Perhaps, as he said, in this world of intrigue and scheming, only Situ Yaorao was the pure land in his heart. But now, that person was no longer with him.

"Thank you, I will pay attention to it." Situ Yaorao said.

"By the way... that girl Xiu'er, even though this is the first time I've seen her, you'd better be careful. There aren't many good people from the Gu family."

Situ Ruobai said with disdain.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but think of Gu Yunjing.

"I will keep it in mind. In fact, it is impossible for Xiu'er and I to have any contact anymore. I have rejected my mother's proposal. Xiu'er will stay in the Situ family." Situ Yaorao said.

Situ Ruobai was relieved: "If you are going to get married, you shouldn't get too close to me. You should go to my wife and stay with her."

"I know. I'm just seeing you off." Situ Yaorao said with a smile.

"You knew I was going out?" Situ Ruobai was a little surprised. Situ Yaorao just glanced at the door. Situ Ruobai then realized that he had already walked to the door.

"Goodbye, brother. Please rest assured, I will be careful in everything I do." Situ Yaorao smiled faintly. Situ Ruobai nodded after hearing this and said, "I believe you."

Just saying "I believe you" was the most beautiful thing Situ Ruobai could say.

After seeing Situ Ruobai off, Situ Yaorao went to Madam Situ's place.

Mrs. Situ's courtyard was the most magnificent place in the entire Situ family. However, it was built by her using the power of the Gu family, not by General Situ.

"Mother." Situ Yaorao looked at Madam Situ who was busy in the yard and called out. Madam Situ smiled instantly when she heard Situ Yaorao's voice. She put down the account book in her hand and walked in front of her: "Yaorao, you came at the right time. If you hadn't come, I would have called you later."

"Is there something wrong, mother?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"You'll be married after two more people. According to Lanlin etiquette, you must worship Yue Lao before you get married, so today I plan to take you there. I hope you'll have a harmonious and happy marriage." Madam Situ said, and then said to the servants, "You, load all your things onto the carriage at the gate."

"Mom, is it really necessary to be so grand?" Situ Yaorao looked at the eighteen boxes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Ordinary people don't have such a large dowry, right? Why would they need to send so many things to Yue Lao Temple?

"Yao Rao, sincerity is the key to success, but who doesn't pray with sincerity? This is also a manifestation of our sincerity. If it really can bring you and the Crown Prince happiness, I will be willing to lose everything I have." Madam Situ said, and then shouted to those people, "Hurry up."

Watching these servants carrying boxes out one after another, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but feel helpless. This Madam Situ really took this matter too seriously.

"Yao Rao, let's go too. Right now, worshiping God is the most important thing. Anything else can be postponed." After saying that, Mrs. Situ took Situ Yao Rao's hand.

The Yue Lao Temple in the east of the city is the most popular temple in Lanlin Imperial City. It is said to be very effective, so many believers come here every year to seek marriage.

Madam Situ had reported her actions today to General Situ. He didn't dare neglect Situ Yaorao's wedding, fearing it might fall short. After all, Situ Honglei was marrying later. If Situ Yaorao's wedding banquet wasn't up to par, then Situ Honglei's would have to be even lower.

This was the difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine's daughter. Even if he was a great general, even if he loved his youngest daughter dearly, he couldn't change this fact. So many people were watching, so Situ Yaorao had to marry off in style, so that Situ Honglei could marry with honor.

This can only be considered a form of protection for legitimate children. After all, there are far too many cases of favoring concubines over wives. Legitimate children are often disfavored for this very reason. Some are even persecuted to death.

If Situ Yaorao had not had Madam Situ's support, she would have been doomed to death.

After getting on the carriages, five carriages headed towards the Yue Lao Temple in the east of the city.

The five carriages from the Situ family attracted a lot of attention. When the carriages passed by Lan Qinglou, Yu Sheng even glanced down from the upper floor.

He was also very happy that Situ Yaorao was able to get married safely.

The people around him were a little suspicious: "Yusheng, it's been so many years since we last met, why are you becoming more and more dazed?"

The person who spoke was a man in blue. He had picturesque eyebrows, thin lips, and phoenix eyes. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a god-like figure. And this person's identity was absolutely noble.

The free and easy king of Lanlin.

He was also the Crown Prince's uncle. The Emperor's youngest brother. He was only just over thirty this year, yet he looked like a young man in his twenties, his handsomeness impossible to ignore.

He played with a string of jade beads in his hand, looked in the direction Yu Sheng was looking with interest, and then raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is this someone from the Situ family?"

"Maybe Miss Situ went to worship Yue Lao." Yu Sheng explained.

"Then you know quite a lot. But... I am also very curious about this young lady. That kid Tan Tai Wu Yue must have someone he likes." The man was very interested.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this: "The prince's temperament hasn't changed."

"But you, Yusheng, have changed. When I first met you, I felt that you were a smart person. You would never be troubled by the mundane world. Maybe one day, you would let go of everything and travel around like me. But I never thought that you would stay in a restaurant like this. Although the wine is delicious, it is not enough for you to stay. Yusheng, can you give me an answer?" King Xiaoyao looked at Yusheng and asked.

He and Yu Sheng have been friends for quite some time, and he has some understanding of Yu Sheng's personality. It is incredible that he values ​​a place so much.

Yu Sheng didn't keep it a secret, saying, "This shop was originally a brothel I opened for my beloved woman, Lan Yige. Later, she died, so I sold it to Miss Situ. Miss Situ helped me learn a secret, a secret that made me inseparable from this shop. But at that time, I had already given it to her. Plus, the wine here is really delicious, and she and I hit it off right away. So, I helped her manage this place. Naturally, the current situation was an accident. I never dreamed that Miss Situ was a true hands-off boss!"

When Yu Sheng finished speaking, she was already gritting her teeth.

Looking at Yu Sheng's ferocious expression, King Xiaoyao couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? Is there anyone more irresponsible than you?"

"Hmph! Ever since she opened this shop, she hasn't even come back to collect the money. The last time she came back was because they ran out of wine and needed her to brew some. This person is willful and selfish. She does whatever she wants. If this restaurant was in her hands, who knows what kind of mess it would become." Yu Sheng complained with disgust.

King Xiaoyao became more and more curious: "If she is so bad, why do you still want to help her?"

King Xiaoyao's words left Yu Sheng silent for a while.

Yeah, if she is so bad, why should I help her?
