The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao didn't dare to think about it. The past few days had been a nightmare for her. And now, although the nightmare was over, the barrier in her heart could not be concealed. After all, it had happened before.

Neither of them spoke again, but soon they arrived at Xue Ming's residence. Pushing the door open, Situ Yaorao walked into Xue Ming's room alone.

The man lay there lazily as usual, a dull expression on his face. His fiery red fox ball was tossed aside, and he seemed a little irritated. In his hand, he held a dagger, and beside him were strong liquor and candlelight. Seeing Situ Yaorao come in, he sat up and said, "Today is the most important day. If you can't make it, the hardships of the past two days will be in vain. So, remember to hold on."

"I understand." Situ Yaorao said.

"Actually, I'm very curious. You had the power of the magic medicine of Mingyue Kingdom in your body before, which means someone gave you that magic medicine. Now you are living with the new emperor of Mingyue Kingdom. Obviously, the new emperor likes you very much. As long as you follow him, he will give you medicine for the rest of your life. You have wealth and glory, and you have medicine to prolong your life. Isn't it great to live a worry-free life? Why do you need to detoxify?" Xue Ming looked at Situ Yaorao and asked puzzledly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glanced at him and said firmly, "If you say that, it means you definitely don't understand love."

"Huh?" Xue Ming asked in confusion.

"I already have someone I love in my heart, so I want to be with him forever. Naturally, I don't want to go to Mingyue Country with Feng Ziqi. Moreover, I prefer living a life of being manipulated by others to living a simple and happy life. Therefore, I would rather suffer and cure this moonlight poison than become someone else's slave just to avoid suffering. When he loves me, I can live a carefree life. If he no longer loves me, then I will die immediately. Such a life is naturally not good."

"That does make some sense, but you're still stupid enough." After Xue Ming finished speaking, he poured strong liquor on her body. The liquor flowed down the previous wounds. Situ Yaorao felt as if she was cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

"Your beloved is outside, why don't you shout?" Xue Ming looked at Situ Yaorao and asked playfully. Situ Yaorao glared at him fiercely, but ignored him. She just gritted her teeth and endured it. Then she saw the man put a candle on her exposed wound. He was already carrying alcohol, and it seemed to be cooked. Situ Yaorao felt that this man was not treating a disease, but roasting a pig!

"Hurry up." Situ Yaorao said coldly.

"Don't worry, if I don't remove the poison from your body, I'm afraid it will be useless later. So, don't be impatient." Today's pain was hundreds of times more painful than before. Situ Yaorao felt as if her skin had been peeled off and her bones were torn apart.

After a quarter of an hour, the man put down the knife in his hand and covered her with his clothes: "Okay. That's it for today. You should not have fainted yet, right?" The man glanced at the motionless Situ Yaorao and asked lightly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked up and glared at him hatefully, then put on her clothes and asked, "Will it hurt as much tomorrow as it does today?"

"It will only get more painful day by day. If you want to give up, there's still time."

"I'm a little curious. Why do you always want me to give up?" Situ Yaorao looked at Xue Ming and asked. Xue Ming was stunned when he heard this. Yes, why?

Maybe he doesn't want this person to subvert his cognition?

He always finds excuses for those who are afraid of death, but now, a woman can still endure the pain, but those big men are unwilling to endure even a little bit of pain and give him the title of devil.

That was his patient. He wanted to continue living without paying any price.

If she really endured it, how would he face those people in the future? People were already saying he was a lunatic. If... he was no longer willing to tolerate others, then he would be completely regarded as a demon and deviated, wouldn't he?

He didn't want to go against his conscience, so he didn't want to see her persist, but on the other hand, he hoped she could persist because this person was really interesting.

Xue Ming's heart was very conflicted. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Situ Yaorao.

"As long as you can save me, I don't care what you are thinking. I am going to Qiu Shui Villa with him and will come again tomorrow. Goodbye." After Situ Yaorao said this, she was about to leave.

"Are you going to Qiu Shui Villa?" Xue Ming frowned.

"Of course I want to go."

"If you go there, remember not to touch the plum blossoms in the villa. The plum blossoms there are poisonous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap set by the owner of Qiu Shui Villa." Xue Ming said lightly.

"Since you know that person, why don't you want to go?" Situ Yaorao looked at him in confusion. Xue Ming narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. "Precisely because I know him, I don't want to go. If you go, it's just ignorance, but if I go, it would be unforgivable." Xue Ming said.

"Unforgivable crimes? Is it as serious as you say?" Situ Yaorao was at a loss for words. If someone didn't know better, they would think the owner of Qiushui Villa was a cannibal.

"Of course there is. The owner of Qiushui Villa is not easy to get along with. The last time I went to ask Mei Kai Jiu Du, he said that if there is a next time, we will fight to the death. I have never been afraid of anyone in all my years living in the Snow Mountain, but I am really afraid of the owner of Qiushui Villa. I don't want to have anything to do with that person again in my life. Therefore, I will not go to Qiushui Villa again."

Xue Ming's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Situ Yaorao didn't say anything more. After all, he had come this far, and if you continued to force it, it would be immoral. Moreover, Xue Ming had already saved her. Thinking about it, Situ Yaorao said, "I understand. Thank you for telling me. If I can come back with the plum blossom nine times and save the people of Jiangnan and Luocheng, I will be grateful."

"I don't need anyone's gratitude. As long as you come back alive, I can fulfill the promise you made to me in the future." The man's tone was light. He glanced at Situ Yaorao again and sighed in his heart. It was a pity that he was already married. Otherwise, it would have been a good choice.

After Situ Yaorao finished her conversation with Xue Ming, she left the room. Seeing Situ Yaorao coming out with a pale face, Tantai Wuyue wanted to check if she was alright, but Situ Yaorao stopped her. "Bone washing and poison burning is naturally very painful, and the wounds on your body are extremely unsightly. If you really want this for my own good, then don't look. I don't want you to see anything unsightly," Situ Yaorao said.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue released his hand and said, "I won't look at it. Let's go to Qiushui Villa. The carriage is ready."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Situ Yaorao was a little puzzled.
