The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao looked at him, her scalp tingling. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come here, wouldn't I have been able to see you?" Situ Ruobai looked at Situ Yaorao with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through Situ Yaorao.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao turned her head away feeling a little guilty: "How could that be? I was thinking of meeting my elder brother tomorrow."

"Really? I'm afraid you don't dare to see me at all." Situ Ruobai continued. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao became even more panicked.

"No matter how much a person changes, his habits will not change. Madam may not know about some of these habits, but I know them very well. Yaorao never really hates her family. But you are different from her." Situ Ruobai continued.

Situ Yaorao's heart was beating fast, and she said hurriedly, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't you know?" Situ Ruobai smiled: "Then let me explain it more clearly. You are not Yaorao at all, who are you?"

"I'm not Situ Yaorao, then who am I? Are you crazy?" Situ Yaorao frowned, but a little bit of relief came to her heart. Perhaps, she should make things clear with them?

"At least, you are not the Yaorao that I like. This body belongs to her, so I couldn't see it the first time. It was not until now that I was sure that you are not Yaorao at all. Your habits and style of doing things are completely different from hers. But you are much better than her. You did a good job, even the madam didn't notice it. However, you forgot the most important point, Yaorao's stupidity. You didn't know that Yaorao has no patience. There is no need to lie to me, and I won't tell anyone. I just... want to know the truth." Situ Ruobai's expression darkened when he said this.

Situ Yaorao looked at me and was silent for a while before saying, "I am indeed not the Situ Yaorao you like, but coming here is not my original intention. The woman you like has long since died at the hands of the Third Prince. And I am just a lonely soul. I am telling you this because I don't want you to get entangled any more. You are a smart person."

Even though it was already guessed, some things, when actually said, were still hard to accept. Although Situ Ruobai was asking Situ Yaorao, deep down, he hoped she would answer no. Because in that case, at least he could lie to himself that the person he loved was still alive.

Situ Yaorao also saw this, so she told the truth.

She didn't want to be entangled, and she didn't want to give people hope. The person he liked was not her, and she couldn't have anything to do with him, so even if he would be sad, it was better to talk it out.

"Go back to Yaorao Pavilion and remember to pretend to be more convincing next time. I don't want my wife to know about this. If she knew, she would be heartbroken. After all, you are her only hope." Situ Ruobai said.

"You're so kind. Don't you want to kill me? Perhaps Situ Yaorao will come back," Situ Yaorao joked. Situ Ruobai shook his head and said, "Even if I kill you, she won't come back. I don't want to take any risks. I don't want to make my wife sad. My wife raised me, but I haven't been able to repay her. Instead, I've fallen in love with someone I shouldn't have loved. It's wrong to make her worry. So, let's make a deal. I haven't asked about what happened today, and you haven't told me either. Don't tell anyone else about it in this lifetime."

"I will try my best, but I won't agree to you. No one can predict what will happen in the future, and you have no right to interfere with my decision." Situ Yaorao's tone was cold. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked around him and left.

Situ Ruobai sighed softly when he heard this.

After returning to the Yaorao Pavilion, Situ Yaorao finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, a thought intensified in her mind. She had to practice her kung fu again! Otherwise, it would be too dangerous!

If Tan Tai Wu Yue hadn't come to help today, she would have really been raped by the rogue! Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but look cold.

Late at night, in the alley of Tianxiang Tower, a man in purple clothes held a frosty sword in his hand. His face was handsome but expressionless.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, please spare my life. I will never come to a place like this again. You, please don't kill me. If you kill me, my sister will be sad! Your Highness... My sister is yours..." The man kneeling on the ground with a face like a pig's head was killed by a sword before he could even finish his words.

The man's movements were swift, and after killing the man, he put away his sword and left, leaving behind the man who died with his eyes wide open.

Situ Yaorao returned late, and coupled with the alternating hot and cold water in the lake, as well as the pressure after traveling here, she finally fell ill.

In the Yaorao Pavilion, Situ Yaorao rolled up the quilt and curled herself up into a ball like a cat.

Lian'er came over with a bowl of dark medicinal soup: "Miss, get up and take your medicine."

"No!" Situ Yaorao's voice was soft and nasal. The thought of taking medicine made her feel sick.

What she fears most is taking medicine!

Western medicine is better, but the problem is that they are all Chinese medicine!

In the past, she was given a lot of Chinese medicine to keep fit.

Therefore, the sight of Chinese medicine now makes her want to vomit. In this ancient time without Western medicine, Situ Yaorao felt like crying. However, the one who wanted to cry even more was Lian'er.

"Miss, you can't not take your medicine. If Madam knew you didn't, she would definitely punish me. And the women's exam is coming up soon. Miss, you're sick... what should I do?"

Speaking of the female exam, Situ Yaorao felt even more upset.

"Lian'er, let me rest alone. I will naturally not miss the female exam. As for this medicine, forget it!" Situ Yaorao said decisively.

Lian'er's mouth twitched when she heard this: "Miss, how can you get better if you don't take medicine? The doctor just said that you have a serious cold. If you don't take medicine properly, it will be very serious."

Lian'er tried to persuade her earnestly, but Situ Yaorao remained silent upon hearing her words.

"What's wrong?" Just when Lian'er was at a loss for what to do, she heard the man's cold voice. Lian'er felt like her savior had arrived and ran over, saying, "Mr. Nangong, you're finally here. Please come and try to persuade our young lady. She has a cold but refuses to take medicine. The doctor said it's very serious and it could be dangerous if it continues like this."

"Lian'er, don't talk nonsense. How can it be that serious?" It's just a cold! Situ Yaorao shouted in her heart. However, Nangong Ling would not hear her thoughts, and even if he heard, he would not know what a cold meant. Therefore, he frowned, walked to Situ Yaorao's bedside, and said to her: "Take medicine."

The man's voice was so cold that Situ Yaorao shuddered when she heard it.

"Can I not eat?" Situ Yaorao was really afraid of Nangong Ling. This man looked like a decent person at ordinary times, but once he got cold, he was really not a human being!

When she thought about the punishment she had received before, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but shiver. Looking at the man, Situ Yaorao smiled awkwardly: "I... I will definitely get better."

However, even after Situ Yaorao said this, the man still looked at her coldly. After a while, his thin lips opened and closed: "The female exam is coming soon. Take medicine."

"I won't delay the girls' exam." Situ Yaorao made a bitter face and tried to struggle again.
