The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

And now? Not only could she not teach him a lesson, but she was also being provoked. If she endured this any longer, she was afraid her pride would be gone. So, Situ Yaorao was not going to endure it any longer.

Looking at her daughter like this, Madam Situ suddenly felt that she didn't understand her daughter at all. She always thought her daughter was kind. Although she was naughty, it was all because of Hong Lei's deception and misleading. However, what made her worried and happy was that even though Hong Lei treated her like this, she still treated her well.

Kind and simple. This was her child. But now? Mrs. Situ looked at Situ Yaorao with both joy and sadness. Joy that her daughter had finally grown up, sadness that her daughter's innocence was gone.

Madam Situ's emotions were extremely complicated at the moment. But even more complicated was Situ Yaorao's own feelings. Her personality was completely different from this body. If Madam Situ were to doubt anything at this moment, she would truly lose more than she gained.

"Yao Rao, let's go." Madam Situ had no doubts. Because the person in front of her made her feel that this was her daughter. Even though her personality had changed a lot.

"Yes." Situ Yaorao breathed a sigh of relief and followed Madam Situ. The two of them went to the hall together. At this time, there were already quite a few people in the hall. It was called a family banquet, but in fact, many ministers from the court were also invited.

Most of the ministers brought their families, and the entire hall was packed. This was truly a great honor for Situ Honglei. I'm afraid that if Situ Yaorao gets engaged in the future, this is the best she can do.

At this moment, Situ Honglei was wearing a pale pink dress embroidered with large peonies. The fabric was from the famous Yundiexuan in the capital. The fabric, worth a thousand gold per foot, truly added a touch of brilliance to her look. She was mingling among the crowd, a bright smile on her face, looking as if she were getting married today.

If not everyone knew that the Situ family had a disobedient eldest daughter, I'm afraid everyone would think that this was the eldest daughter of the Situ family, right?

When Madam Situ saw her attire, she almost wanted to kill someone. At the same time, she felt deeply that she should support Situ Yaorao. Otherwise, wouldn't Situ Honglei really want to bully Yaorao?

"Yao Rao, let's go over there." Madam Situ said lightly. Situ Yao Rao nodded hurriedly when she heard that, knowing that Madam Situ was angry.

Mrs. Situ brought Situ Yaorao and walked in front of Situ Honglei.

"Hong Lei, where's your mother? She didn't come to pay her respects to me today, so the ginseng tea I prepared for her has been left unused. It's a shame. If you see your mother, please let her know that I'll make tea for her tomorrow." Madam Situ's attitude was very easygoing. Her smile was gentle, and one couldn't detect any malice in her.

Situ Yaorao had no doubt that Madam Situ was definitely a master in the family struggle! This attitude made everyone instantly feel that Situ Honglei's mother was ignorant.

At this time, everyone brought their own women. The occasional son brought a frown. After all, they were all legitimate children. Illegitimate children were rare. What did these legitimate sons and daughters hate the most? It was obviously the illegitimate children who competed for their favor!

Therefore, the look in his eyes when he looked at Situ Honglei changed for a moment.

At this moment, Situ Yaorao and Situ Honglei stood side by side. Situ Yaorao was enchantingly beautiful and dignified. Meanwhile, Situ Honglei, though beautiful, had a rather delicate, unapproachable air. The moment they met, they were instantly recognizable.

If it weren't for the rumors about Situ Yaorao's past and her actions, she would have been approached by many people proposing marriage to her long ago.

"Sister, you are engaged to Mr. Dongfang now. What will happen if you fail the exam this time?" Situ Yaorao looked at Situ Honglei beside her with a concerned look on her face.

Upon hearing this, Situ Honglei almost wanted to fight with Situ Yaorao. However, when she thought of so many people, she endured it and said with a pitiful look, "Sister, do you hope that I will fail? How could I do this? If I still like Brother Dongfang, I should just say yes. Why do you have to make things difficult for me? Don't you know how important the women's exam is to women? How could you, sister? Woo woo woo..." As she spoke, Situ Honglei burst into tears.

What the hell!

Situ Yaorao was stunned instantly. Of course, she wasn't frightened by her, but rather stunned by her logic. Where did she get the confidence to actually like that scumbag from the Dongfang family?

Feeling amused, Situ Yaorao looked at the woman and smiled coldly, "Sister, you've misunderstood me. Everyone in the world knows that the person I like is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wrote letters for the Crown Prince, listened to you, and did so many stupid things for him. Isn't it clear to you, sister? And now you're saying I like Young Master Dongfang? What a joke."

"Sister, do you like the Crown Prince?" Situ Honglei's eyes gleamed. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao sneered. "That's all in the past. The misunderstanding between the Crown Prince and me has long been cleared up. It's best not to take things out of context, sister. Today is your engagement party, and as your elder sister, I don't have anything good to give you. So, I'll give you this book." Then, Situ Yaorao took out a thick volume.

"What, what is this?" Situ Honglei looked at the book, feeling almost stunned. Situ Yaorao chuckled when she heard it, "It's a women's ring. I'm worried that yours won't be up to standard, so I thought I'd let you read it again."

"Sister, are you humiliating me?" Situ Honglei had tears in her eyes.

On the other side, General Situ, who was standing with Situ Honglei's mother, also noticed what was happening here, so he hurried over, looked at Situ Yaorao, and said coldly: "Your sister's wedding banquet, what are you doing?"

"How is that nonsense? I just wanted to give my sister a women's ring so that she could learn it well. Otherwise, after she leaves the Situ family, she will think that the Situ family is protecting her and offend people she shouldn't offend. After all, not everyone would drag out their illness to congratulate her." Situ Yaorao said, and looked at General Situ: "Father, am I right?"

At this moment, Situ Yaorao is like a rose with thorns.

General Situ's eyes turned cold when he heard this: "What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to ruin your sister's engagement party?"

"Father is seriously ill. I just have a fever and feel a little dizzy, so I don't know what to do." Situ Yaorao said, and sat on a chair beside him. She didn't even look at General Situ.

The banquet had become strange because of the arrival of Madam Situ and Situ Yaorao. Seeing this, Situ Honglei cried, "Father, can you please let me have a good talk with my sister?"

"Go ahead." General Situ said impatiently.

Then, Situ Yaorao was taken away by Situ Honglei. After leaving here, the tears on Situ Honglei's face disappeared completely. Looking at Situ Yaorao, Situ Honglei said coldly: "Situ Yaorao, what do you want to do?"

"What am I doing? Aren't you very clear about it?" Situ Yaorao sneered.

"What do I know? I invited you to the party out of kindness, and you? Are you trying to ruin my engagement party?" Situ Honglei said aggrievedly. She looked so pitiful, as if she really had good intentions. If it were the Situ Yaorao of the past, she would have surrendered like this and let Situ Honglei take advantage of her.
