The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"What do you think, Miss Situ? I am sincere." The Third Prince looked at Situ Yaorao, and there seemed to be some truth in his tone.

"In reply to the Third Prince, I, Situ Yaorao, am determined to see all the handsome men in the world. In you? I'm not interested!" If I have to refuse, I must do it with a domineering attitude, so that this evildoer will never be able to provoke me again!

When the Third Prince heard what Situ Yaorao said, he burst into laughter: "Haha, you are really a rare and extraordinary woman in the world. Well, I have decided that as long as you don't get married, I will not marry a concubine. This proves that I am sincere!" After that, the Third Prince turned away.

That back view is so free and easy.

This Third Prince came and left quickly, but the psychological shadow he left on everyone is indelible! Dongfang Jue's face changed several times, and he clasped his fists to Situ Yu and said, "General Situ, I will take my leave today. I will come another day to propose marriage and marry Hong Lei. I will never let her go in vain."

Situ Yu was quite satisfied with Dongfang Jue, especially the Dongfang family's wealth! Military commanders, what they wanted most was food and wages. In this world, only the Dongfang family could afford to support the Situ family's army. It was a pity that Yaorao was not up to the task, but it was also good that Honglei did well!

Situ Yu thought to himself and laughed heartily: "Haha, you can go back now. This girl Hong Lei must be from your Dongfang family!"

Dongfang Jue was delighted when he heard this. He glanced at Hong Lei, clenched his fist and left.

Hong Lei smiled at the man, but in the next moment, her eyes turned cold. Beneath her sleeves, her fingers were pinched in her palms, her teeth were biting lightly, and her eyes were filled with anger.

Damn that Situ Yaorao! She actually won the favor of the Third Prince! How could I let her be so proud? The Situ family should only have one young lady! One of me is enough!

In the future, I'll use Dongfang Jue's fame to spread across the world, and naturally, even the high-ranking royal children will come to marry me! By then, whether it's Madam or Situ Yaorao, get out of the Situ family!

"Everyone's finally gone! Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room first." Situ Yaorao breathed a sigh of relief, stretched casually, and was about to leave. You know, Lian'er is still waiting outside. If it weren't for Lian'er, she wouldn't be able to find her residence.

"Go back to your room? Humph! You wish! Let me ask you, what did you do today?" After everyone left, Situ Yu also got angry. He looked at Situ Yaorao coldly and questioned her.

"Master, Yaorao still has a wound on her head!" Mrs. Situ said dissatisfiedly.

"Injured? I see she's full of life, more energetic than anyone else! Situ Yaorao! You're going to be locked up in the ancestral hall for three days! You're not allowed to come out without my permission!" General Situ roared, and Situ Yaorao shuddered. She glanced at her mother with a hint of despair. Damn it, I'm going to be locked up just after I arrived? I don't want to!

However, Situ Yaorao's mother had no idea what Situ Yaorao was thinking. She just shook her head gently and said, "Yaorao, don't make your father angry. It's just confinement. I promise I will let you out tomorrow." The woman's gentle words softened Situ Yaorao's heart.

Neither her parents cared about her. Ever since she could remember, she'd been taught by those old immortals. It was said that because of her exceptional physique, she was a natural for martial arts, so the old immortals kept her with them. She never met her parents until her death. Looking at Situ Yaorao's mother, she felt a glimmer of longing. If her own mother were still around, perhaps she would be like this.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao became obedient. Nodding, she said aggrievedly, "Mother, you must rescue me from the ancestral hall."

Mrs. Situ was amused by Situ's charming look and nodded her head, saying, "Okay, of course. Go quickly. Don't let your father carry you there."

"Yeah." Situ Yaorao said and went out.

"Hmph! Just keep pampering her! Sooner or later, she'll get into big trouble!" Situ Yu snorted coldly, then looked at Hong Lei and the woman who had been sitting there without saying a word and said, "I'll take you back."

"Thank you, General." The woman's voice was sweet, like pearls falling on a jade plate. Situ Yu's eyes softened after hearing it.

Situ Yu had two women in his life. One was Madam Situ. Born into the wealthy Lan family, she was his greatest asset. Looking across the world, no woman was more suited to be Situ Yu's housekeeper. And the other woman was Situ Honglei's mother. She was gentle and charming, and she spoke kind words. Even the toughest man would be melted by her tenderness. Even steel could be softened by a thousand times of temper. Situ Yu felt more than just love for her.

Madam Situ watched Situ Yu leave with that woman and Situ Honglei, a dark glint in her eyes. She was the principal wife, and her daughter was the legitimate daughter. She was decisive and resolute, but what could she do?
