The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"I have been thinking about how to say it. These three days are my best chance. I chose a place like this because I want to be alone with you. Yaorao, please don't leave me for these three days, okay? After these three days, everything about us will be unknown." Cang looked at Situ Yaorao and asked.

This man's beauty made Situ Yaorao's heart flutter, but the waiting made her anxious. She was afraid of waiting because when waiting for someone, some unknown situation would always occur.

"I'll do my best. So, Cang... don't make me wait too long." Situ Yaorao looked at the man and said softly. The man's red eyes sparkled when he heard her. His expression was as if he had found the most precious treasure in the world, and he was extremely happy. "Okay, I will definitely not keep you waiting too long."

Three days is always short.

Situ Yaorao had been away for three days, and although Madam Situ hadn't looked for her, this also showed Madam Situ's trust in them.

The night is as cold as water.

It was the second night. Situ Yaorao lay in a chair, her face pale. For some reason, she felt as if all her strength had drained away.

Cang sat next to Situ Yaorao, staring blankly at the scene, somewhat bewildered: "Why... is this happening?"

"I don't know, I always feel like something is devouring my body. What's wrong with me?" Situ Yaorao's face was pale. She always felt that it was more terrifying than practicing martial arts and becoming possessed.

Cang frowned and held Situ Yaorao's wrist. After a while, a somewhat cold voice sounded: "Oh! I was wondering why Madam Situ was so kind to let me bring you out. So, you just wanted to let me know about your current health condition?"

"What do you mean?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion.

"Yuehua, you have been infected with a poison called Yuehua. Whenever the full moon night comes, your life force will be lost abnormally quickly. Although you will recover later, your vitality will inevitably be severely damaged. This situation will continue until death. People who are infected by Yuehua will age very quickly. You probably... have been ill for not long. Otherwise, your appearance would have been lost long ago." Cang said, his red eyes staring at Situ Yaorao.

In his eyes, there was an emotion that even he himself did not understand. And that emotion was called heartache.

After hearing Cang's introduction, Situ Yaorao really wanted to curse. What a rip-off! Why is there so much trouble with this body? It's okay to offend people. I could tolerate not having the skills, but now, I'm aging so fast? Haha, I might as well just die.

Situ Yaorao's expression darkened slightly. "If that's the case, I probably won't be able to stay with you forever, right?"

"I will cure you. Although Yuehua is scary, there is an antidote. One day, I will cure you." Cang promised Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao's eyes were indifferent. She listened to the man's words, but didn't take them too seriously. Instead, she let her life slip away. This poison was truly terrifying. It made her feel like she was experiencing death.

As time went by, Situ Yaorao's hair gradually turned white. Cang sat beside Situ Yaorao, watching this scene, although he was surprised, there was no disgust in his eyes.

It was also after her hair turned white that Situ Yaorao finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted. When Situ Yaorao fainted, Cang put Situ Yaorao on the wooden bed.

At that moment, he and Situ Yaorao were in a hunter's cabin in the mountains. The wooden bed was small, probably only big enough for one person. Cang looked at the gray-haired Situ Yaorao and kissed her on the lips. "I will definitely come back and heal you," he said softly and gently, and then the man walked out.

The next day, sunlight streamed into the room. Situ Yaorao felt a headache and opened her eyes to see an empty room. She looked around but couldn't find Cang, and her heart gradually cooled.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself: "It seems that you really dislike me, right? That's right, how could anyone like a woman who will age at any time?"

In fact, the news about the Situ family, especially Madam Situ, really cannot be underestimated. Not long after Situ Yaorao got up, a carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

A woman dressed in black knelt in front of her and said, "Miss, the lady said you should go back. The carriage is waiting for you downstairs."

"I understand." Situ Yaorao nodded, took a deep breath, and then closed her eyes, putting everything that had happened before behind her. Since Cang had left, he must have given up, right? Otherwise, why would he leave without saying goodbye? Feelings that had only met a few times were too fragile. After thinking it through, Situ Yaorao went down the mountain and sat in the carriage, quietly looking at the scenery outside. When Situ Yaorao returned, she went directly to Madam Situ's place.

Seeing Madam Situ, she smiled at Situ Yaorao and said lovingly, "Yaorao, are you okay?"

"Mother, am I poisoned?" Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and asked. Upon hearing this, Madam Situ looked at Situ Yaorao with heartache and said, "It's mother's fault. I failed to protect you."

"Is there no way to cure this poison?" Situ Yaorao looked at Madam Situ and asked with some concern. Madam Situ smiled bitterly upon hearing this. "If it were really that easy to cure, why would I want to watch you suffer? Yaorao, do you know that I didn't let you marry the Crown Prince? First, I didn't want you to be involved in those disputes, and second, it was because of your health. In this world, how many people would be able to continue loving you indifferently after seeing you like that?" Madam Situ said softly.

When Situ Yaorao heard this, she thought of Cang who left without saying goodbye and fell silent.

"Yao Rao, mother has always been thinking about finding a husband for you, preferably one who will listen to you obediently. Only in this way, that person will not dare to despise you." Mrs. Situ continued.

"Compared to this, I would rather live a wonderful life rather than go with the flow." Situ Yaorao looked at Mrs. Situ and said loudly.

"You little girl, do you know that your mother can't be with you forever. Now... everyone still respects you because of your mother. But once your mother is gone, who will you rely on? If you can't find a good husband, how are you going to live your life?" Mrs. Situ looked at Situ Yaorao, and her heart was filled with love for this daughter who had suffered so much.

Situ Yaorao could also sense the woman's care for her, so she said, "I understand, mother. I will try my best to find someone who will not despise this Moonlight Poison."

"Yuehua...did that man tell you?" Mrs. Situ frowned.

"Yes." Situ Yaorao didn't hide anything. Madam Situ couldn't help but frown. "This poison, no more than ten people in the world know about it. If he knew, his identity must be extraordinary. Yaorao, stay away from people like that from now on."

"Seeing that head of white hair, I think he'll never come back." Situ Yaorao laughed at herself. Her so-called first love ended like this before it even officially began. It was quite heartbreaking to think about it.

When people are in a bad mood, they want to eat. At least that's the case with Situ Yaorao. Back at Yaorao Pavilion, Situ Yaorao held a plate of pastries and ate the pastries while reading the book Nangong Ling had left for her.

Lian'er looked at her worriedly, "Miss, are you... okay?"

"Huh? I'm fine. Compared to this, you are the one who is worrying. You must have suffered a lot in the cellar?" Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and said.

Lian'er shook her head upon hearing this: "I am willing to suffer for you, young lady. But young lady, you should stop eating. Even if you are sad, you can't keep doing this."
