The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

So shameless!

This was what everyone present, including Situ Yaorao, was thinking. However, the difference was that Situ Yaorao was scolding Leng Qingling, while everyone else was scolding Situ Yaorao.

How could this woman be so shameless? Situ Yaorao was so angry that she almost laughed. Look at this innocent girl pretending to be innocent. If you didn't know, you would really think it was her fault. But... maybe everyone thinks so now?

First, they forced the Third Prince's sweetheart to leave the Third Prince's Mansion, and now they came here to kidnap the Seventh Prince? Situ Yaorao thought about her own future and felt a pang of sadness in her heart!

Coming home, it’s definitely another confinement!

Just when Situ Yaorao was feeling helpless, she heard a cold, somewhat unnatural voice: "It has nothing to do with her..."

"Seventh Prince, what are you talking about? General Li is here. He won't let anyone hurt you. Don't worry, Seventh Prince." Leng Qingling said to the Seventh Prince anxiously. Her face still showed a look of shock and astonishment because the Seventh Prince had helped Situ Yaorao out of trouble.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince frowned, took a step back, and said in pain, "It's not her! My coming here has nothing to do with her."

"How is this possible?" Leng Qingling couldn't help but scream.

"Why not? The Seventh Prince has said so. What other charges do you want to pin on me? Or... did you do this on purpose?" Situ Yaorao smiled brilliantly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a playful expression. Leng Qingling's expression changed upon hearing this. But she quickly returned to normal. A trace of confusion and grievance appeared on her innocent-looking face. "Sister Situ, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would Qingling do this? Qingling has always wanted to be sisters with Sister Situ. But Sister has always been unwilling to pay attention to Qingling."

"Of course I don't want to bother with you. I am the eldest daughter of the Situ family, and you? Who are you? You want to be my sister? Are you trying to climb up the social ladder?" Situ Yaorao sneered.

Leng Qingling's expression turned even uglier. General Li, standing by, couldn't bear to watch. "You're the eldest daughter of the Situ Mansion, but you shouldn't be so harsh, right? Miss Leng just wants to get along with you. How can you be so mean?"

"Why can't I be mean? Do I have to be nice to others just because they want to befriend me? Wouldn't that make me lose face? And... who are you? What right do you have to teach me a lesson?" Situ Yaorao sneered, then looked at Leng Qingling, walked towards the woman step by step, and whispered in her ear: "Miss Leng, don't be so self-righteous. I don't care about the things you treasure. But if you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude. After all, no matter how good your temper is, there is a limit."

Situ Yaorao's voice was very low, and only Situ Yaorao and Leng Qingling could hear it. Leng Qingling glanced at Situ Yaorao with hatred, gritted her teeth and whispered, "You shameless thief, do you think I will believe you? But don't worry, I won't bother you in the future, because soon, I will be his princess. And you? No one will want you anyway."

"If you were so confident, you wouldn't have come to pick a fight with me. However, next time you pick a fight, keep your eyes open. If you pick the wrong person, you'll be the one who'll die in the end." After Situ Yaorao finished speaking, she turned around and smiled at the Seventh Prince: "Thank you for your help, Seventh Prince. It's time for me to go back to the palace. After all, I still have to offer gifts later. If I don't go back, my father will be worried. After all, I'm not some person who is not even worthy of offering gifts." After speaking, Situ Yaorao walked away.

Leng Qingling's face was so pale that her hatred for Situ Yaorao couldn't help but deepen.

"Miss Leng, it's time for me to go on patrol. I hope that next time you encounter something like this, you can first clarify the facts. Goodbye." The general was also respectful. After he finished speaking, he did not even turn his head.

Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Leng Qingling's lying about the truth.

The Seventh Prince looked at Leng Qingling silently, his eyes indifferent, as if he was looking at air. After a while, he turned and left.

"You...don't go." Leng Qingling looked at the man's back and couldn't help but shout.

Hearing this, the man turned around and glanced at Leng Qingling again: "What's the matter, Miss Leng?"

"Why do you want to help her? Don't you hate her very much? If, if you don't explain, she will be punished." Leng Qingling gritted her teeth and questioned.

The Seventh Prince heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "I have never disliked anyone. As for punishment? There is no need. Besides, I didn't help her, I just told the truth." After saying this, the Seventh Prince stopped looking at Leng Qingling and walked away quickly. When he was alone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

His pale face never recovered. His hands were shaking, as if he had used up a lot of courage.

After a while, he gradually recovered.

The moonlight was cold and cold, shining on the man's body.

He leaned against his knees, his eyes vacant, as if lost in thought. His breathing was deep and deep, and he seemed much calmer. At this moment, a man in purple approached, holding a lantern. Lighting his way, a cold voice rang out, "What's going on? Old Seven."

The man looked up when he heard this, and when he saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be the prince. I'm fine. I just had a small accident and ran into Miss Situ."

"Did she... do anything to you?" Tantai Wuyue asked with a somewhat complicated tone. Even he himself was unaware of this feeling. Situ Yaorao's reputation was known to everyone, and he knew all those absurd things were true. But now, seeing Old Seven like this, he couldn't help but hope that those words weren't true.

"No, Your Highness, don't worry." said the Seventh Prince.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's lucky for you. At least you don't have to suffer like before."

"It's also fortunate for the Crown Prince. Your plans don't need to change because of this. But you, Crown Prince... seem to have a special affection for that woman. Are you asking me about this simply because you're worried about her?" The Seventh Prince said calmly. Tan Tai Wu Yue's eyes flickered as he heard this: "Do you know what my plan is?"

"The Crown Prince wants that woman to be the Crown Princess, right? I advise you not to, she's not suitable."

"Really? Perhaps," Tan Tai Wu Yue said, reaching out to pull the Seventh Prince up. "Go back. If you don't want to go to the banquet, then don't run around. Other people's schemes are always unexpected. And you have so many weaknesses." With that, Tan Tai Wu Yue also left. The Seventh Prince pinched his fingers, a chill rising in his heart.

What happens when a person has nothing around them, and no one understands them? Tantai Wuyue looked at the bright moon in the sky, a touch of indifference growing in his heart. It's just like this.

Perhaps he had been lonely for too long, so he became curious about that strange woman and couldn't help but want to marry her.

The moon hung high in the night sky. The Seventh Prince sat alone under a tree, curled up in an attempt to keep himself warm, but his heart grew colder. As a member of the royal family, he should have preserved his bloodline. Yet, he regarded women as a scourge.

As a prince, he should have been more responsible. But back then… he could only watch his mother go mad and die. He would never forget that devil-like woman.

He was left with this strange illness. He was truly a failure as a human being.

The atmosphere of the banquet was thick. When Situ Yaorao returned to the main hall, no one paid her any attention, save for a few who paid special attention to her. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dancers performing. This time, Situ Honglei had learned her lesson and, upon seeing Situ Yaorao return, offered her seat.

Situ Yaorao sat down as a matter of course.

This is what should be done, but some people don't think so. She sat down.

"Yao Rao, where are your rules? What did your mother teach you?" General Situ scolded dissatisfiedly. Situ Yao Rao was stunned when he heard this: "Father, aren't my rules very good?" Situ Yao Rao said.
