The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"You!" Realizing that he had been fooled, Young Master Dongfang frowned and became annoyed.

"What? Are you angry? Humph! You want to cancel the engagement? Fine. Bring me, um, this lady, compensation for mental damage! You've been engaged to me for so many years, and you've wasted so many opportunities for me to get married? Now that you don't like me, you're just going to walk away? How could it be so easy? One hundred thousand taels of silver, not a tael less! Bring it to me, and I'll write you a letter of cancellation on the spot, and I won't let you stay!"

"One hundred thousand taels? Why don't you just rob them?" Young Master Dongfang could no longer conceal his anger.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao sneered and looked at him with disdain, saying, "The sucker is right in front of me, why would I go and grab him? Are you bored?"

"Situ Yaorao! Don't go too far! I, Dongfang Jue, will not tolerate you!" The man was furious and said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao sneered, "What? You still want to hit me?" After she finished speaking, Situ Yaorao turned around, looked at the woman above, and said aggrievedly, "Mom...this guy, he wants to hit me!"

Madam Situ suppressed her laughter, looked at Situ Yaorao, and said gently: "Yaorao, don't be afraid. With mother here and the Situ family here, I don't think anyone dares to act rashly!"

"Madam Situ, it's not Dongfang Jue who is rude, it's really this Miss Situ."

"What? What my Yaorao said is wrong? You can offer a betrothal gift of 100,000 taels of silver to marry the illegitimate daughter of the second branch of my Situ family, but you can't compensate my Yaorao for the loss of 100,000 taels of silver? Could it be that, in your eyes, the legitimate daughter of my Situ family is not as good as a illegitimate daughter?" Madam Situ's tone was cold and majestic.

No matter how angry Dongfang Jue was, he had to swallow it. However, he couldn't swallow the anger of giving Situ Yaorao money!

"Ajue..." Just when Dongfang Jue was still a little hesitant, Situ Honglei called out softly. Dongfang Jue's anger disappeared completely at that call, and he said distressedly, "Don't worry, Honglei. For you, I, Dongfang Jue, will take even more, not to mention 100,000 taels!" Dongfang Jue took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and took out the 100,000 taels of silver he had prepared for the engagement. He handed it to Situ Yaorao and said viciously, "Write a letter of withdrawal!"

Situ Yaorao took the 100,000 taels of silver with a smile, and then said, "Do you still need to write it? You and I were engaged when we were children. From today on, you marry me and I marry you. We have nothing to do with each other. Heaven is my witness, the sun and the moon are my observations. Anyone who regrets this will be condemned to eternal damnation!"

Situ Yaorao's words made everyone present gasp.

Such a vow is too cruel!

Dongfang Jue's teeth were nearly broken as he stared at Situ Yaorao and said, "You're cruel! Dongfang Jue, I'm leaving!" Before he could even leave, he ran into someone dressed in crimson, heading into the lobby. This person had picturesque features, thin lips like cherry blossoms, and every gesture exuded a sense of allure.

But... for some reason, I always feel that this person is somewhat similar to the man by the lake, but... I don't know where.

Seeing this person coming, Dongfang Jue also stopped, turned around, looked at Situ Yaorao with a gloating look, and waited to see the show.

As he entered the lobby, Mrs. Situ's face turned ugly.

General Situ hurriedly stood up, knelt on one knee respectfully, and said, "I, General Situ Yu, pay my respects to the Third Prince!"

What the hell!

The words "Third Prince" were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Situ Yaorao completely devastated! Third Prince? Haha, the Third Prince who had just been spied showering and had sent his ex to hell?

Is it too late to run now?

However, before she could run, Madam Situ pulled her down to kneel down and pay her respects to the Third Prince.

The Third Prince entered the room, glanced at everyone present, and chuckled, "Everyone, wake up. I came here just to see if your eldest daughter is still alive."

Situ Yu: ...

Mrs. Situ's expression was stiff.

Situ Honglei's face turned pale, and she seemed very scared. Dongfang Jue, who was sharp-eyed, hugged her to prevent her from getting scared.

Situ Yaorao looked at the enchanting prince with a complicated expression and said, "What if...she died?"

"Dead? Then let's forget about her peeping at me taking a bath. After all, it's not easy for me to whip the corpse." The man looked very kind and blinded Situ Yaorao's eyes.
