The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"General." Situ Honglei's mother looked at General Situ with tears in her eyes, as if she had countless grievances to tell. General Situ glanced at the person he loved to the bone, then looked at Situ Honglei who was accompanying him, and the Sixth Prince who had been watching all this silently, and sighed: "Don't cry, this is just a temporary solution. The Crown Princess is coming tonight with great momentum, and her mother died in a strange way. If she insists on letting you become her wife, I'm afraid she will investigate thoroughly. You should not have forgotten what you did in the past month, right? Now that the Crown Prince has returned from Jiangnan, he is in the eyes of the Emperor and is at the peak of his career. At this critical juncture, offending them is not a good thing."

"But my sister is going too far. Dad, when my mother was alive, she could only be a concubine. She has never been able to hold her head up high and even dared not leave the house, for fear of being looked down upon. Now that my mother is dead, do you still want her to endure this? I have followed you all my life and never asked for anything. Can you bear it?" Situ Hong burst into tears and knelt on the ground. "I know I have embarrassed you, but please give my mother an explanation. If you are afraid that my sister will blame you, I will go and beg her, even if I have to kneel in front of her door, to make her give in."

"You!" General Situ didn't expect Situ Honglei to do this. He was furious for a moment: "Alright, let's talk about this later. At least not now. She just left, she should leave in glory."

"But there must be someone in charge of this family." Situ Honglei gritted her teeth and said persistently.

"I have my own opinion on this matter. Get up, and stop crying. We are family, and I will never let you down." General Situ felt extremely tired. His daughter, who had always been well-behaved, and his wife, who had always been sensible and understanding, now looked a little ferocious.

Each and every one of them was forcing him to make a decision. General Situ felt annoyed just looking at them any longer. So he left. Seeing this, Situ Honglei's mother couldn't help but sob. Situ Honglei hurriedly coaxed her, "Don't cry, Mom. Dad is just too sad because of Auntie's passing. As long as we can get through this, everything will be fine." Yes, as long as they could get through this, Mom would be Madam Situ, and she? She would be the legitimate daughter of the Situ family.

Even if I can't be the Sixth Prince's Consort now, I'll always have the chance to be the Empress when the Sixth Prince becomes the Emperor. Then, I won't have to worry about that woman Situ Yaorao dominating me. Thinking of this, Situ Honglei really wanted to applaud.

"Your father always hated others making decisions for him. It was mother who was too impatient. She was worried that no one would take care of such a big family. Honglei, you should go and rest with the prince soon. I will stay here to keep vigil for my sister. Although my sister has not been good to me over the years, I still took the love that belonged to her. Now that my sister is gone, I don't know how to be sad. I even wanted to burn all her things first. It was my fault." The woman said, wiped the tears from her face, and knelt in front of the door.

Situ Honglei stared at the scene in a daze. Just as she was about to ask her mother what was wrong, she caught sight of General Situ from the corner of her eye. She understood instantly.

So he said to the Sixth Prince beside him: "Prince, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you tonight. Should we go back to the palace, or?"

"Stay. Such a big thing has happened to the Situ family. You and I are already husband and wife, so we should take care of it." The Sixth Prince said. The word "husband and wife" made Situ Honglei happy, but her face was full of gratitude. "Thank you, Your Highness, for understanding me. There are many things to do tonight, so I'm inevitably unable to take care of you. Your Highness, can you stay with me in the courtyard I lived in before I got married?"

"Okay." The Sixth Prince nodded. He had already understood the farce that had just happened in the Situ family. He was even more clear about who was right and who was wrong. However, at the same time, he was also very fortunate. In the future, the Situ family and his Sixth Prince's Mansion would really be in the same boat. The Gu family was close to the prince. And Situ Yaorao was married to the prince. He was worried at first. But now? Madam Situ had passed away, and Situ Yaorao was at odds with the Situ family. I'm afraid the relationship between the Gu family and the Situ family would not end. The only choice for the Situ family could only be him.

Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince felt much better. He could even watch these disgusting scenes patiently.

The only thing you can’t buy in this world is the medicine for regret.

Situ Yaorao and Tan Tai Wu Yue were arranged to live in the house where Situ Yaorao lived before she got married. The house still maintained its original appearance, without even a trace of dust.

Sitting in the courtyard, Situ Yaorao's eyes were slightly red, and tears fell on her face, streaming down her face. Tantai Wuyue stood beside her, watching her like this, and said softly: "Don't cry. If Madam Situ knew that you cried for her, she would not be at peace in heaven."

"Do you know? I used to think that I had nothing in this world. But now I know that I actually have a mother who treats me as her own daughter. She knew exactly how many mistakes I had made, but she still accepted me. She didn't need to bear those rumors, but she still took them seriously. She treated me as a relative. But I... was so self-righteous that I thought that everything I was doing now was just a return of gratitude. How ridiculous!" Situ Yaorao said hatefully.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed across Tantai Wuyue's eyes: "Madam Situ is your mother, isn't she?"

When people are sad, they always say things that they shouldn't say, and Situ Yaorao is no exception. Looking at Tantai Wuyue, Situ Yaorao shook her head: "I am not Situ Yaorao."

Situ Yaorao's words made Tantai Wuyue feel sick. He didn't even know the details of the Crown Princess he married? She was obviously Situ Yaorao.

"Maybe this is not right. I should say that I am Situ Yaorao, but my soul is not Situ Yaorao." Situ Yaorao said.

"Resurrection? Then who were you in life?" Tantai Wuyue asked. Even he himself felt strange about this, because he wasn't angry, he was just worried that this person would disappear. That was all.

"Before I died?" Situ Yaorao blinked and smiled: "Actually, you are not right. This can't be considered as reincarnation. It can only be said that I fell into this body by accident. I was not from this world when I was alive. Our world is much more developed than this one. Whatever you want, you can find it there. There is no struggle for imperial power. It is a more relaxed country. Whatever we can't do here, we can easily have there." Situ Yaorao recalled her own world, and a trace of nostalgia flashed across her eyes.

"Really?" Tantai Wuyue smiled: "That sounds good."

"Yes, it's very good. But I had nothing there. After coming here, facing Mrs. Situ's kindness to me, I only felt guilty. I even thought about repaying her. Everything I did was based on repaying her. But in fact... she knew everything. She knew that I was not her daughter, but she still treated me as her daughter. She knew that I was willful, but she was still willing to worry about me. After I left, those rumors would still hurt her. I am sorry for her." Situ Yaorao choked up when she said this.

Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at the woman in front of him, and finally reached out his hand and held her in his arms: "Don't cry, I will help you. No matter what." The man's voice was gentle, as if he wanted to dispel the uneasiness in her heart.

"Dantai Wuyue, I want you to swear."

"Hmm?" Tantai Wuyue was stunned. Why was he suddenly asked to swear again?

"No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to touch the Situ family. If I break my oath... I will die a miserable death and go to the eighteen levels of hell. I will never be reborn." Situ Yaorao said to Tan Tai Wu Yue with a serious face.

"Why should I swear by you?" Tan Tai Wu Yue frowned.

"Maybe it's because I don't want you to have any accident because of breaking your oath." Situ Yaorao said with a smile, but only she understood the truth.

"Okay, I agree." Tan Tai Wu Yue said lovingly, "I, Tan Tai Wu Yue, swear that I will never touch the Situ family in this lifetime. If I break this oath, the woman I love most will not have a good death. She will go to the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborn." Perhaps it was because he wanted to spur himself, or perhaps it was to make Situ Yaorao happy. Tan Tai Wu Yue didn't think much about it and made a vow like this...

It wasn't until I broke my oath not long after that I finally understood what it meant...
