The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Me?" The man couldn't help but laugh when he heard Situ Yaorao's question. "I'm the one you're about to save. You should understand, right?"

"Are you the poisoned leader?" Situ Yaorao was shocked.

"Well. So, have you got your medicine?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao.

"I've got it, but I hope you can give me everything you promised first. Otherwise, forget it." Situ Yaorao said, looking at Qiu Ming: "At first, I would have agreed if you hadn't told me that other people were coming. Now I suddenly feel a little dangerous."

"Sorry, it's the leader who wants to see you." Qiu Ming was a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, give me the silver and we'll be clear of both debts." Situ Yaorao said impatiently.

"Give it to her." The man in red said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ming gave the property to Situ Yaorao as he said.

"Girl, can you play the piano?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao and asked lightly.

"I can't." Situ Yaorao said honestly. Although she was learning, but... compared to what the man had just played, she definitely couldn't do it!

"So, does the Situ family need a zither player to teach you?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao and continued to ask.

Shit! A demonic cult leader wants to be a musician? Situ Yaorao was horrified at the thought, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No need."

"Ten thousand taels of silver per month." The man's tone was very casual, but it was this casual sentence that successfully made Situ Yaorao's rationality disappear. Looking at the man, Situ Yaorao said seriously: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the Demon Cult has been a bit restless lately, so I want to find a place where I can have a temporary residence. The Situ Mansion is heavily guarded, and I believe outsiders cannot enter. It's a very safe place." The man said lightly.

Situ Yaorao frowned upon hearing this. If it were up to her, she would have loved to take this person with her. After all, if someone offered money, she wouldn't refuse it. However... this person was a member of the Demonic Cult. If she took him back, it might cause trouble for her. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao gritted her teeth and refused: "The conditions you offer me are indeed very attractive, but unfortunately, I can't take you back. You are a member of the Demonic Cult. If your identity is discovered, it will cause trouble for me."

The man was a little surprised to hear Situ Yaorao's refusal. But then he laughed, "Haha, it seems I misjudged her. I thought Miss Situ would definitely agree given her beauty. Well, I'm very grateful to her for the Purple Sun Grass. Qiu Ming, please see her off."

After the man in red finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued playing the piano.

Qiu Ming sent Situ Yaorao out of Tianxiang Tower through the back door.

"Don't come to Tianxiang Tower again." Qiu Ming said to Situ Yaorao.

"If you hadn't pestered me, I wouldn't have come here." Situ Yaorao rolled her eyes, trying to remind the man whose fault it was.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ming looked at the woman awkwardly.

After coming out of Tianxiang Tower, Situ Yaorao felt the need for some quiet time. The shock she had received throughout the day was truly too great. First, the Crown Prince, and then Tianxiang Tower.

During this period of time, she should study hard at home for the female exam, otherwise it will be a shame for her when the exam comes.

However, Situ Yaorao's idea was good, but... as soon as she returned home, she was taken to the lobby. General Situ had a dark face, and Madam Situ also looked unhappy.

When Situ Yaorao came in, General Situ angrily scolded her, "Rebellious girl! What have you done?"

"Huh? What did I do?" Situ Yaorao, who was extremely confused, felt that it was unreasonable.

"You still dare to ask?" General Situ felt like he was going to be pissed off by his eldest daughter. An invitation was slapped on Situ Yaorao's face.

Situ Yaorao opened it suspiciously, and then her expression changed.

It turned out to be an invitation, and it was sent by the prince, saying that he wanted to go boating with her? Haha!

"Tell me! What did you do to His Royal Highness today? Why did he suddenly send such an invitation? Didn't I tell you not to have any contact with His Royal Highness? Why are you so disobedient?" General Situ's voice trembled with anger. This time, even Madam Situ didn't speak up for Situ Yaorao.

Looking at Situ Yaorao, she looked sad: "Yaorao, didn't mother tell you not to get involved with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I, I didn't." Situ Yaorao felt extremely aggrieved.

"Perhaps the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to my sister. After all, I've been sending letters to him for so long," Hong Lei said casually. Hearing this, General Situ became even more furious: "Someone! Throw this rebellious girl into the cellar and make her reflect on her actions! She's not allowed to come out for three days!"

As soon as General Situ said this, Madam Situ's face changed: "My husband, I don't object to you punishing Yaorao, but throwing Yaorao into the cellar, isn't that going to kill Yaorao?"

"You shut up too! How could she be like this if you hadn't indulged her too much? From now on, she is not allowed to run outside. If you see her again, break her legs!" After saying that, he turned away.

Situ Yaorao, on the other hand, was led by the servants into a bottomless pit. As she descended the steps in the pit, she felt a chill. Soon, she reached the bottom.

It was completely dark here; even with the lights on, they couldn't illuminate the surroundings. It was freezing cold and damp. It was already spring, but Situ Yaorao was shivering. No wonder Madam Situ said this place would kill her. If it were the Situ Yaorao of the past, she would have frozen to death here, wouldn't she?

If he doesn't freeze to death, he might be scared to death.

Thinking about this, Situ Yaorao followed the dim light and walked inside. She stopped at a brighter place, then sat on the ground, looking aimlessly at the surrounding walls.

Here, the surroundings were quiet, and her heart unexpectedly calmed down.

When people calm down, their minds wander. Situ Yaorao couldn't help but think about her own affairs. In just a few days, she had traveled from the peaceful modern world to this place. Here, there were no old men constantly forcing her to practice martial arts and calling her a genius. There were no people who constantly wanted to fight her. Here, everyone was scheming against each other. Here, she had her beloved mother and the man she loved.

The man was very handsome, probably the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. And now, she was in this dim cellar.

"Wouldn't it be better to leave a place like this?" Just as Situ Yaorao was thinking about it, she heard a man's pleasant voice. Situ Yaorao looked up in confusion and saw Cang, dressed in black, holding a lantern, standing in front of her, looking at her calmly. His blood-red eyes were so gentle.

Situ Yaorao looked at her and smiled: "You actually look a little scary in this darkness."

"If you are afraid of me in the darkness, let's go to a bright place."

"It's dark outside now, right?" Situ Yaorao said in a low voice.

"what."

"I'm going to stay here for three days. Will you accompany me?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and asked softly. Cang shook his head when he heard this. Situ Yaorao lowered his head in disappointment. Then he heard the man change the subject and say, "But I will take you away." After saying this, he ordered Lian'er to come in.

Lian'er was wearing the same clothes as Bai Liuyue at this time. If you only looked at her back, you would really think she was Situ Yaorao.
