The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 416: Being Deceived and Promising

"Ah! I didn't expect that the young master knew everything."

"Although the Crown Princess' affairs are secret, it's easy to find out if you want to. The Crown Princess and I have no connection. Yet, after meeting me, you showed your affection to me. Luo Qiushen may be arrogant, but he's not narcissistic. The Crown Princess wouldn't be attracted to me. And the only thing I could possibly attract her attention to is probably that Seven Star Grass that I accidentally found."

Luo Qiushen's analysis was so clear and logical that Situ Yaorao had to admit that this person was really difficult to deal with!

However, since it's difficult, then let's not deal with it. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao went straight to the point and said, "Then, sir, please give me a clear answer. What do you want me to do in exchange for the Seven Star Grass? Since you know everything, you should understand that the Seven Star Grass is very important to me, and I will do whatever it takes."

Hearing this, the man continued to arrange the chess pieces in his hand and said, "Ah, I know. However, I don't plan to give you the Seven Star Grass." The man's answer was decisive. Situ Yaorao blinked and said, "No room for negotiation?"

"Yes and no," said the man.

"Mr. Luo, please tell me about it." Situ Yaorao said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiushen put down the chess piece in his hand, looked at Situ Yaorao, and said lightly: "If you can make me laugh from the bottom of my heart, I will give you the Seven Star Grass. If you can't, I will just throw the Seven Star Grass away. Anyway... it's useless to me." The man said casually, as if it was not something he bought with money.

But Luo Qiushen is a man who will definitely do what he says.

Situ Yaorao's lips twitched repeatedly at Luo Qiushen's request, and she finally managed to hold back her curse. What kind of request was this! Making him laugh? Was she supposed to tell him a bad joke?

The question is, will he laugh if I tell him?

Situ Yaorao was a little mad. Looking at the man, she said speechlessly, "Young Master, are you trying to make fun of me?"

"I don't like joking. I'm serious." Luo Qiushen looked at Situ Yaorao and said sincerely. Situ Yaorao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who would believe you?"

"I have already made my request. If you can do it, I will give you the Seven-Star Grass." Luo Qiushen was also a little impatient.

After hearing this, Situ Yaorao thought about it for a while, and finally said, "I understand, but I also have a condition."

"kindness?"

"One month, one month. During this month, you have to be here every day. If I can't see you, I don't know how to make you happy."

"I don't have that much time." Luo Qiushen was helpless. Danfeng's eyes were calm and indifferent: "Seven days, after seven days, I will leave the capital."

"Leaving the capital?" Situ Yaorao was surprised. As the young master of the Luo family, why would he leave the capital?

"If you want to get something, you always have to pay a price. If I want to take back what belongs to me, I have to learn to lose first. In seven days, I will go to Mingyue Country. If you can make me happy, then I will give you the Seven Star Grass. If not, then I will throw away the Seven Star Grass. From now on, there will be no more Seven Star Grass in this world." Luo Qiushen's words were firm.

Situ Yaorao thought about it again and again after hearing this, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I understand. However, please come here every day for the next seven days."

"That's natural." After Luo Qiushen said this, he felt a little confused.

Why had he agreed to her request? Was it because he felt pity for her lost expression? Or was it... was this woman truly destined for him? Luo Qiushen didn't know, but all he knew was that, in the end, he had made this decision against his will.

Even though… his family was constantly watching him, and his every move was being second-guessed, he still proposed such a deal that was disadvantageous to him. Perhaps it was because the black cat in her arms was so adorable?

Luo Qiushen thought so.

While Luo Qiushen was struggling with his decision, Situ Yaorao was pondering how Luo Qiushen could be happy. She knew him only as an acquaintance, not even a detailed understanding of his personality. She only knew that he was Luo Qiushen, and that he was difficult to get along with. He loved playing chess, but she had given it up. After all, he wasn't happy playing chess either!

He likes cats, but he never even looks at Xiao Hei! Situ Yaorao is very conflicted.

However, while she was struggling, the servant outside the door pushed open the door and came in with a grim expression: "Sir, something is wrong. You are summoned by your family and asked to go back quickly."

Hearing this, Luo Qiushen frowned and said, "I understand. Let's go." He stood up and walked out. However, as he reached the door, he seemed to think of something and said, "I forgot to mention that I don't like playing chess." With that, Luo Qiushen left. Situ Yaorao blinked blankly for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yusheng! You bastard, how dare you lie to me!"

"Ah, huh!" Yu Sheng, who was reading in the Yu Family compound, sneezed suddenly, attracting Zi Su, who was drinking tea nearby, to look at him: "Are you sick?"

"No, I don't know why my nose is itchy. Maybe someone misses me." Yu Sheng said with a smile.

"That must be a woman," Zi Su said sadly. Yu Sheng heard this and quickly said, "What are you thinking about? How long has it been since I last touched a woman? In this world, the only woman who misses me is probably Situ! But I'm most afraid of her missing me. If she misses me, I'll be in trouble!" Yu Sheng said bitterly. Zi Su couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"The Crown Princess just trusts you."

"Her trust is the most powerful poison in the world. It makes you suffer, yet you also enjoy it." Yu Sheng was helpless. He put the book aside. Zi Su's eyes became complicated after hearing his words: "If the Crown Princess and I were in danger at the same time, who would you save?"

"Of course I'll save you." Yu Sheng answered without hesitation.

The woman was delighted when she heard this, but she heard Yu Sheng continue, "For someone like Situ, whoever puts her in danger is unlucky. There's no way she'll suffer any loss."

"Then, what if the Crown Princess can't save herself?" Zi Su continued to ask.

Unable to save yourself?

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she will save Situ. Situ has always been smart and clever. If I save her, maybe she will help me find a way to save you."

"But if you were a step later, one of us would have died?" Zi Su continued to ask.

Yu Sheng fell silent upon hearing this. Looking at Zi Su, she sighed, "What are you thinking about again?"

"I'm not imagining things. Answer my question!" Zi Su snapped. Yu Sheng had no choice but to say, "Maybe... I'll save her, and then die with you."

"Heh!" Zi Su laughed, a mocking laugh.

"Why are you unhappy again?" Yu Sheng asked hurriedly, panicking. Zi Su's eyes were icy cold. "Don't pretend to care about me like this anymore. Yu Sheng, Master Yu, I know I'm of humble status and unworthy of you. But if you feel that way, you don't have to be with me. And why are you with me and humiliating me like this?"

"Humiliating you? Where does that even begin? Besides, who said I don't want to be with you?"

"If you were willing to be with me, if you didn't humiliate me, why did you choose Situ Yaorao when I asked that question!" Zi Su almost collapsed when she said this.

Yu Sheng was stunned when she heard this...
