The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"This...?" Situ Yaorao looked at Lian'er blankly.

"Miss, this is also what Madam meant. You should go out first. Come back here after three days. Miss, you are a precious girl, how can you suffer in such a place?" Lian'er said respectfully.

"Poor girl, what about you?" Situ Yaorao frowned and hesitated.

"As your servant assures you, everything will be fine. Miss, please leave quickly." Lian'er urged hurriedly.

"I won't leave. If I leave, Lian'er, will you stand here for me? I don't want anyone to suffer for me." After saying that, Situ Yaorao sat on the ground.

Lian'er looked at Situ Yaorao anxiously, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Situ Yaorao felt a pain in her neck, and then she lost consciousness.

"You, how did you knock the young lady unconscious?" Lian'er widened her eyes and looked at Cang Dao.

"If it weren't for this, she probably wouldn't leave. So, it's better to knock her out." The man said calmly. Lian'er thought about it and nodded: "Then take the young lady away quickly. Come back in three days. Madam will meet you outside."

"Yeah." After saying that, Cang carried Situ Yaorao out of here.

However, after going out, Cang did not take Situ Yaorao to meet the contact person as Lian'er said, but secretly carried her away.

When Situ Yaorao woke up, she felt dizzy. She seemed to hear the sound of a carriage. Wait...a carriage?

Situ Yaorao woke up suddenly, and then found herself sitting in a carriage. Beside her was Cang, who had a calm expression and closed his eyes to rest.

"Where are you taking me?" Situ Yaorao frowned and asked Cang.

"Keep it secret." Cang said with a smile.

"Let me go back quickly. If you bring me out, Mrs. Situ will be worried!" Situ Yaorao said anxiously.

"She won't. Rather than letting you stay in that dark place, she would rather you leave with me." Cang said with a smile. Situ Yaorao frowned when she heard this: "Mrs. Situ is not such an impulsive person. There must be something hidden, right? Otherwise, how could she let me leave?"

"If there is a hidden secret, it's probably the prince." Cang said indifferently.

"How do you know?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man in confusion.

"I don't know, but Madam Situ did tell me about the Crown Prince. If... you don't like the Crown Prince, it wouldn't be a big deal for the Situ family. But if you both love him, it would be a disaster," Cang continued. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao fell silent. She didn't like to overthink things, but that didn't mean she didn't understand anything.

If she were truly with the Crown Prince, the Situ family would be in real danger. The Emperor was already deeply suspicious of the Situ family, and if this were to happen, it was conceivable that the moment she married the Crown Prince, the Emperor would exterminate the entire Situ family. That was why General Situ was so angry.

But...what does this have to do with asking her to leave the Situ family within these three days?

Situ Yaorao was puzzled, and at the same time, at Situ's house.

In the lobby of Madam Situ's courtyard, a woman dressed in black knelt on the ground. Madam Situ held a teacup and sipped the tea carefully. After a while, she looked up at the woman and said, "You said... didn't you pick up the young lady?"

"To answer your question, madam, yes. Lian'er said that the young lady was taken away by the man beside her." The woman in black said respectfully.

"Is that so?" Mrs. Situ frowned.

"Madam, what should we do next?" the woman in black asked Madam Situ.

"Let them go. Since that man has the courage to take Yaorao away, he must have a way to protect Yaorao. If... he knew that there was something strange about Yaorao's body, I believe he would leave in disgust. This way, I won't have to separate them in the future. But you, don't let anyone go to that cellar for these three days." Mrs. Situ said seriously.

"Yes, we will definitely work hard."

"Alright, you can leave now," Madam Situ said, waving her hand. The woman then respectfully withdrew. After she left, Madam Situ's expression gradually darkened.

To her, the most important person in the world was Situ Yaorao. She wanted to give Yaorao a complete family, and first she had to make her husband love her. But what was the result?

He clearly knew that Yaorao was ill, yet he still wanted her to go to the cellar at this time. By the time Yaorao came out of the cellar, she would be half dead, right?

And all this was just paving the way for that woman's child.

The prince can't marry, but it depends on who she is. If it's Yaorao, it's definitely impossible. But... if it's Honglei, my husband will probably agree, and even be willing to sacrifice the entire Situ family for Honglei, right?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Situ couldn't help but sneer.

When a person gets used to the scenery of a town, he or she will find that everything is so beautiful when he or she occasionally goes to the wild. The overly tense mood in daily life will also be relaxed. Situ Yaorao sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside.

There was no way Cang would let her go back at this time, and she didn't really want to go back to that gloomy cellar. She always felt that her body was very strange when she was in the cellar.

So, it’s better to go out and play with him.

"Where are we going?" Situ Yaorao looked at Cang helplessly. It was almost dawn, and the carriage was still moving forward. No one knew where it was going.

"We're here." Just when Situ Yaorao was feeling depressed, Cang said this lightly, then hugged her and flew out of the carriage. Here, the mountains were stacked, the water was winding, and at the foot of the mountain, exotic flowers and butterflies were flying. Fireflies illuminated everything here, and even in the dark, people could still see everything here clearly.

"So beautiful." Situ Yaorao couldn't help but murmur.

Hearing this, Cang smiled. "This is the first place I discovered after arriving in Lanlin. I immediately thought it was so beautiful. In this world, only scenery never repels people. No matter how dirty you are, no matter how terrifying you are, you will be accepted." As Cang spoke, he walked into the flowers. In the moonlight, the man's face looked a little blurry, but even so, he remained as charming and elegant as ever.

Situ Yaorao followed him as if possessed by some mysterious force.

The two of them sat together in the flowers, letting the cool night breeze blow by, leaning against each other. Situ Yaorao liked this feeling. Between heaven and earth, there was only you and me.

"Yao Rao, do you know? In this world, many things make people helpless." Cang's voice was not loud. Situ Yao Rao blinked when she heard it, a little puzzled.

As someone who has lived two lives and was spoiled both times when growing up, I really can't understand Cang's helplessness.

Cang looked at Situ Yaorao like this and smiled: "Maybe, I shouldn't like you. I'm not worthy of liking anyone."

"I like you, and you like me too. Isn't that enough?" Situ Yaorao looked confused. Hearing this, Cang shook his head and said, "You will probably never understand how many twists and turns it takes for me to be with you."

"So you are going to give up on me?" Situ Yaorao asked with some disappointment.

"Of course not, because it's very difficult, so I decided to leave here. Until one day, when I can make you happy, I will come back to find you." Cang looked at Situ Yaorao and said solemnly.

Situ Yaorao frowned when she heard this: "I hate waiting."

"It won't be long." Cang said softly. Situ Yaorao remained silent.
