The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

And the love flower is just an excuse for her.

"What? Not talking? Do you think that by not talking, you can hide your failure?" Situ Yaorao asked coldly. Lian'er's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and she was about to kneel down. However, she was stopped by Situ Weixing. Situ Weixing looked at Situ Yaorao with a serious face. There was an unprecedented solemnity in his eyes: "You are the one who brought me out of this Wutian Forest, so I believe everything you say. I will do everything you say."

"Ah, that's as it should be, isn't it? I brought you out of Wutian Forest for this very reason." Situ Yaorao said casually. Yu Sheng, standing beside him, nearly choked to death on a mouthful of tea.

Situ Yaorao glared at Yu Sheng, signaling him not to reveal the truth. Then she looked at Situ Weixing: "Why are you suddenly telling me all this now?"

"We searched the entire capital and found no love flowers."

"That's just because you don't have much fate with that flower." Situ Yaorao said.

"I've read some rumors about the Lover's Flower. There aren't many people who can actually see it, right? You've seen it, and you want us to see it too? Are you using your own way of measuring our relationship?" Situ Weixing asked coldly, as if he was going to explode if Situ Yaorao didn't give him a reasonable explanation.

Yu Sheng saw this and her mouth twitched. Is this guy crazy? He actually wants to find Situ Yaorao like this?

"Situ boy, don't talk nonsense. Situ is just doing this for your own good." Yu Sheng couldn't help but remind him.

"Shut up." Situ Yaorao, who rarely gets criticized, also got angry. She glared at Yu Sheng with hatred, then looked at Situ Weixing and laughed, "Ha! I've never heard anyone criticize me like this. Especially... my subordinates. You are my people. If I want you to live, you will live. If I want you to die, you will die. What right do you have to question me? Situ Weixing, no, Linyue, don't forget who gave you your name. Don't forget who you are standing here because of."

"Even if it's because of you! Then, I'll give everything back to you, and you give her to me." Situ Weixing said loudly, pulling Lian'er beside him. Yu Sheng, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch.

"Okay, then why don't you ask Lian'er, your neighbor, if she's willing to go with you?" Situ Yaorao said calmly. After that, she took a sip of tea. She didn't even glance at Lian'er, but she already knew her choice.

Situ Weixing looked at Lian'er with a sincere face: "Lian'er, let's go. She doesn't care about our feelings, so she probably doesn't consider us as her own family. What's this love flower? It almost made you fall off the cliff. Let's not look for it anymore. Okay?" Situ Weixing looked at Lian'er with anticipation. In his heart, being with Lian'er would satisfy everything.

It doesn’t matter what Lan Qinglou is or what my future is.

Lian'er's heart fluttered as she listened to the man's words. She wanted to place her hand in his, and let him lead her away. From then on, she would no longer be Lian'er. She would be his woman. But... Lian'er glanced at the indifferent Situ Yaorao, and finally, she knelt down. "Miss, I have followed you my whole life, and I will not give up now. My life belongs to you. If you do not want me to be with Weixing, then I can give up this relationship."

Lian'er's words made Yu Sheng, who was standing beside her, feel even more frustrated. These two people, one was blindly loyal, the other was too stupid. Neither of them could see through Situ Yaorao's thoughts.

Situ Yaorao looked at the two of them and really wanted to sigh.

"Lian'er, are you really that afraid of her?" Situ Weixing looked at her in disbelief. Situ Yaorao, on the other hand, was suddenly glad that she had come to test him. Otherwise, she would have never known that Situ Weixing's trust in her was just this level.

If one day he had to choose between her and Lian'er, he would definitely choose Lian'er. This made Situ Yaorao have to be on guard.

"Weixing, I'm not afraid of the young lady. But I will only be your maid for the rest of my life. Initially, I was taken back by the Madam, and her kindness to me was as great as a mountain. Although she would occasionally punish me, she never really made me suffer. Later, the young lady and I went to the Prince's Mansion. I made mistakes, but the young lady was able to let bygones be bygones. Lian'er will spend her whole life repaying her debts." Lian'er said, looking at Situ Yaorao: "Madam, I don't want to leave."

"Get up." Situ Yaorao rubbed her brows. Then she looked at Situ Weixing: "So, are you still leaving? The gate is over there. I won't see you off."

"Wherever Lian'er is, I'll be there." Situ Weixing said awkwardly. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao really wanted to slap him to death: "You are too impulsive. How can you give Lian'er happiness when you are like this? You don't know what Lian'er wants. When Lian'er is sad, you may not understand her. At the beginning, when there was a hint of love between the two of you, I thought that you just liked Lian'er's gentleness, but you probably didn't know that love also requires sacrifice. What if this gentleness no longer attracts you?"

"I'm not!" Situ Weixing said hurriedly.

"Don't rush to explain. Whether you think so or not is not up to you and me. The lover's flower has passed its blooming season. I asked you and Lian'er to look for it, but you never thought about why." Situ Yaorao looked at the man.

"Isn't it to make me and Lian'er part ways?" Situ Weixing said unhappily.

"Oh! I have a thousand ways to separate you. Even if I could just stab Lian'er to death, that would be enough. Isn't that right? Admittedly, you're skilled in martial arts, but if I really attacked you, you wouldn't even have a chance to react. I asked you to find flowers that have passed their blooming season and cannot exist, but you never thought about why I did that. When you came back, you were just angry, not realizing what kind of attitude I was looking for."

Situ Yaorao felt exhausted at this point. Yu Sheng, watching from the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Situ, boy, all Situ wants is your attitude towards your relationship. But you haven't shown her what she wants to see. Instead, you're constantly making her angry. How unwise! If I had known you were so foolish, I wouldn't have spoken for you in the first place."

Yu Sheng said helplessly.

Situ Weixing felt even more embarrassed when he heard this.

"At the beginning, you failed my assessment. So, now you should separate." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

"Wait... don't we have three days to get this love flower?" Situ Weixing couldn't help but ask.

"But you've already given up."

"Who said that! As long as she still exists in this world, as long as there is still a chance to meet her, I will definitely find her. I will prove that the feelings between her and me are real." Situ Weixing said, and then rushed out. Seeing Situ Weixing rushing out, Lian'er could no longer hold back and apologized, and ran out as well. Looking at this scene, Yu Sheng really didn't know what to say...
