The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Madam... committed suicide by taking poison." After Lian'er said this, she burst into tears.

When these words were spoken, the entire court was shocked. No one had expected that the daughter of the Gu family, the eldest lady of the Situ family, and the mother of the Crown Princess would take such a path.

Situ Yaorao felt dizzy and the noisy sounds around her made her head hurt. And that sentence just now must be a joke! It must be.

Her mother?

How could her mother do that?

Thinking about this, Situ Yaorao rushed to Lian'er, pinched her collar, and looked fiercely: "Tell me! What's going on!"

"Today, I went to see Madam on your orders. Madam looked a little haggard. However... Madam only told me to go back. Later, I felt something was strange, so I went to the general's mansion. Who knew... I heard crying coming from the general's mansion, and there was also a scene where my aunt wanted to come and report to the general, but was stopped by the housekeeper and the second lady. The aunt next to Madam told me that Madam, she had passed away." Lian'er said while crying.

Situ Yaorao felt a warmth in her heart and a fishy smell in her throat. A flower appeared before her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Situ Yaorao staggering, Tantai Wuyue finally couldn't sit still anymore and stepped forward to support her. Situ Yaorao pushed him away, her voice hoarse, "I'm fine. Lead the way, I want to go home." Situ Yaorao said to Lian'er. Lian'er was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Situ Yaorao's expression, she no longer hesitated.

After Situ Yaorao left, the already silent hall became even more eerie.

"Everyone, something happened at the Crown Princess's home, so I have to go with her to take a look. Thank you all for your hospitality towards Wu Yue today. I will certainly visit you all one by one another some other day." After Tan Tai Wu Yue said this, she also chased out.

"Honglei, something happened at your home. Do you need to go back and take a look?" The Sixth Prince, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at Situ Honglei who was indifferent beside him and reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Situ Honglei quickly suppressed the hint of joy on her face and said with a sad face: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I was so sad that I forgot what to do for a moment." After saying this, she really started crying.

"I will accompany you." The Sixth Prince said, then stood up and pulled the man up. Then, looking at General Situ, who had a dazed look on his face and obviously had not expected such a thing to happen, he said, "Father-in-law, do you need to go back with us?"

"Go back? Ah... Okay, go back." General Situ seemed to have lost his soul, dazed. If anyone didn't know, everyone would probably think that this general must be madly in love with Madam Situ. But what could he do? The truth was, in General Situ's heart, there was only Situ Honglei's mother. Madam Situ was nothing but a disgrace to him.

The incident involving Mrs. Situ was like a bomb dropped into the water, exploding.

Situ Yaorao and Lian'er were the first to return. When they reached the door, white flowers were already hanging in front of it. Situ Yaorao looked at them and felt a splitting headache.

Pushing the door open, Situ Yaorao gritted her teeth and walked into the Situ family's house. What caught her eye was the housekeeper organizing people to burn some things that her mother had used before.

"Who gave you permission to move?" Situ Yaorao watched them burning things, and instantly, she was furious. She never dreamed that after the mistress died early, the first thing these servants did was not to cry, but to burn things.

The housekeeper was following the orders of the Second Madam. With the First Madam dead and the Second Madam favored by the General, it wouldn't be long before she became the mistress of the General's Mansion. Naturally, he was willing to give the Second Madam a favor and burn all these things.

However, he didn't expect that he would be so unlucky as to meet Situ Yaorao coming back.

Situ Yaorao glared at the housekeeper with hatred. She walked forward and kicked away the maids who were burning Madam Situ's clothes one by one. "Lian'er, pass on my order. No one is allowed to touch my mother's room again today. Anyone who dares to do so will be treated as my mother's murderer and executed on the spot!" Situ Yaorao's tone was cold. After speaking, she picked up the burnt clothes and looked at the housekeeper. "Put these away for me. Also, summon Second Madam to the front hall. Tell her that I have something to ask you. If she doesn't come in a quarter of an hour... don't blame me for being ruthless."

"This... Madam is your second mother after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the Crown Princess to do this?" The housekeeper hesitated. You know, the master of the Situ family is General Situ. It is not Situ Yaorao's turn to make the decision.

Situ Yaorao had already lost her usual restraint. Hearing the housekeeper's words, her eyes became even more sinister. "Who is your wife? Your wife is lying in her yard right now. Also, I only have one mother. What the hell is a second mother? She's just a concubine. Call her to the hall. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you know whether it's illegal for the Crown Princess to kill someone."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards Madam Situ's courtyard.

The housekeeper's face turned grim. Lian'er glanced at him and said, "Butler, you'd better go and call. Our young lady values ​​Madam above all else. And now, the young lady has just returned from Luocheng with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness values ​​the young lady above all else. If you don't follow the young lady's instructions, I'm afraid no one can protect you." After saying this, Lian'er also went to pass on the message.

People...always realize the need to cherish something doubly only after they lose it.

When Situ Yaorao arrived in front of Madam Situ's courtyard, she was a little afraid to go forward. However, in order to find out what was going on, she gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to walk into the courtyard.

As I entered the courtyard, I heard a sharp and arrogant voice: "You guys, go search over there, you guys, go over there. You must search this woman's room and find everything she used. Then burn it. I don't want to see this dead woman's things in my house anymore."

Normally, the voice that was submissive was now so high-pitched, with a hint of excitement in it. Situ Yaorao stood at the door listening, her eyes thick with mockery.

The sharp-eyed maids noticed Situ Yaorao first, and those who were about to search did not dare to move anymore.

"What are you still standing there for? Be careful or I'll fire you!"

"How come I didn't know when a low-ranking concubine became a lady?" Situ Yaorao's voice was a little abrupt in this courtyard.

The woman who was ordering the maids around shuddered at the sound. She turned around, a hint of a smile on her face. "Oh, isn't this Yaorao? You're back. My sister died uncleanly, and there's nothing I can do. We can't let a woman who committed suicide leave anything behind in the general's mansion; it will attract the dead."

Snapped!

There was a crisp sound.

Situ Yaorao slapped the woman's smiling face and said coldly: "Shut your stinky mouth. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you go to accompany my mother." After that, he looked at the group of maids: "From now on, whoever dares to move here, I will kill him. I mean what I say." After that, he walked into the room.

The room was no longer as luxurious as it was at the beginning. On the carved wooden bed, a woman was wearing a bright red mistress's dress with a faint smile on her face. Even though her eyes were closed, her grace could still be seen.

She had never met anyone more generous than Madam Situ. Situ Yaorao thought this as she looked at the quiet figure lying on the bed. From the moment she opened her eyes, completely unaware of the world, to Madam Situ's loving care for her, even though she truly cared about the deceased Situ Yaorao, she couldn't help but feel happy.

She had long regarded herself as the real Situ Yaorao, and the person on the bed as her own mother.

But now? This person, whom she considered a relative, was lying there, seemingly never to wake up again...

"Mother?" Situ Yaorao's voice trembled, a hint of fear lingering in it. In her two lives, even when she died in her previous life, she had never been so frightened. But now, she could no longer hide the fear in her heart.

If her mother died, wouldn't she be alone?

"Miss." Outside the door, the aunt who always took care of Mrs. Situ's food and daily life came in, holding a letter in her hand. At this time, her hand was covered with blood...
