The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao felt troubled, but she wasn't completely broken. Perhaps it was just an allergy.

"Did you eat anything you shouldn't have today?" Nangong Ling looked at Situ Yaorao and asked.

"Shouldn't have eaten? I don't think I've eaten anything today." Situ Yaorao frowned. She felt nothing on the pimple on her face. If it weren't for Nangong Ling finding it, she wouldn't have even noticed it. It was simply puzzling.

"Didn't you eat it? Then...is there something wrong with the rouge and powder you used?" Nangong Ling continued to ask. Situ Yaorao was stunned when she heard this: "I don't know, these things were prepared by Du Lian'er."

"Lian'er, do you know what's wrong?" Nangong Ling looked at Lian'er, who was about to collapse at this time. She said with a sad face: "I don't know either. The young lady's rouge and powder were all given to me by Madam. I usually use them to help the young lady put on makeup, but it has never happened like today. If Madam knew that the young lady's face was like this, what should I do?" Lian'er was anxious and about to cry. Seeing this, Situ Yaorao gestured for her to calm down: "Don't worry, it's okay. I will cover my face later. As for mother, I will also explain it. Now, you should think about whether anyone has touched the rouge and powder I used."

"I really do... Ah, Miss, I remember now. Yesterday, you ran out of rouge, so I went to find Madam Huang, who works for the Madam. She usually buys your rouge and powder."

Lian'er said, looking at Situ Yaorao. Situ Yaorao returned to the room and took out the rouge she had just bought. Nangong Ling took it and sniffed it gently, frowning: "It's colorless and odorless, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing, or it's not a problem at all."

"Give it to me." Situ Yaorao took the rouge, then found some clean water and poured all the rouge into it. The color of the rouge turned black.

"Many things that are colorless and tasteless actually do change color. Once they come into contact with water, they return to normal. This is rouge." Situ Yaorao said, then looked at Lian'er: "Lian'er, go call Huang Ma. I have something to ask her."

"Yes, Miss. Miss, do you want to tell Madam?" Lian'er asked with some concern.

"Not for now, let's ask first." After saying that, Situ Yaorao went back to the room to look for the veil.

Lian'er was always quick at work. Within a quarter of an hour, Huang Ma was already kneeling in the courtyard. Lian'er brought a chair for Situ Yaorao. Situ Yaorao sat down, looking down at Huang Ma and said, "Are you the Huang Ma who usually helps me buy rouge and powder?"

"Yes, Miss, is there anything I can do for you? But my rouge and powder are not good. If they are not good, I will change them for you another day." Huang Ma was a woman of about forty years old. She spoke in a steady tone and did not seem nervous at all. She had a very honest face.

If not, Mrs. Situ would not have kept her by her side.

"Not good? That's not the case, it's just a small problem. Huang Ma, let me ask you, when you bought this rouge, did anyone touch it?"

"How dare I let anyone touch this? Madam has always strictly prohibited the young lady's rouge from being passed to other people." Aunt Huang said, looking at Situ Yaorao.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Situ Yaorao chuckled.

"Yes, definitely, no one has touched it." Huang Ma assured.

"Really? Then you can die in peace. Lian'er, ask my mother to come and drown this woman in the pond."

"Yes, Miss, I will go right away." After saying that, Lian'er was about to leave. Huang Ma saw this and became upset. She hurriedly grabbed Lian'er's legs and said, "Miss Lian'er, don't go. At least, at least tell me what I did wrong."

"What's wrong?" Situ Yaorao sneered and took off her veil. "This face is your biggest mistake. There's something wrong with the rouge you brought back. If you don't give me a good explanation now, I will drown you today." Situ Yaorao said, and put on the veil again. When Huang Ma saw Situ Yaorao's face, she was also frightened. She hurriedly said, "Miss, I really don't know."

"Don't know? Since you don't know, then I can only let you die. Believe that if my mother sees my face, she will definitely not forgive you." Situ Yaorao said, and impatiently signaled Lian'er to invite Mrs. Situ over.

Lian'er kicked Huang Ma away and asked Madam Situ to come over.

When Madam Situ arrived, she saw Huang Ma kneeling on the ground crying heartbreakingly. She was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"

"Madam, I really don't know. I am innocent!" Huang Ma threw herself in front of Madam Situ, who was even more confused.

Seeing this, Situ Yaorao smiled: "Mother."

"Yao Rao, is there anything you can't talk about calmly? Why do you have to make such a fuss and make Huang Ma like this?" Madam Situ felt a little sorry for Huang Ma crying. Upon hearing this, Situ Yao Rao took off her veil. The moment Madam Situ saw this, her face turned pale: "What's going on?"

"I don't know what happened today, but my face became like this. Then we went to investigate the rouge and powder in the house, and found that there was something wrong with the rouge that Huang Ma had just brought back. So we called her over, but she was reluctant to tell us who had touched my rouge. So I thought of asking my mother to make the decision." Situ Yaorao looked aggrieved.

"What does Yaorao want?"

"Let's sink it into the pond." Situ Yaorao said decisively. Madam Situ heard this and said without a second thought, "Okay, I'll listen to Yaorao in everything."

When Huang Ma heard Madam Situ say this, she could no longer bear it: "Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me."

"If you want me to spare you, you have to give me a reason." Madam Situ said coldly.

"This...this, Madam, please understand. I really didn't mean to harm the young lady. I have a disappointing son. He gambled away all the money Madam gave me. I had no choice but to buy some rouge on the street. But who could have known that this would happen?"

"You! Even if you are like this, you shouldn't give the things you bought on the roadside to Yaorao! Aunt Huang, you have wasted my trust in you!" Mrs. Situ was furious.

"The rouge you bought on the street shouldn't be like this, right? It's clearly mixed with some medicine. A colorless and odorless medicine. Such medicine is rare among the people." Nangong Ling said coldly.

Huang Ma's body stiffened when she heard this. Seeing this, Madam Situ was furious: "Huang Ma! Who are you still trying to protect at this moment?"

"Madam, please calm down, Madam, please calm down. It's... it's the Second Young Miss. The Second Young Miss went to my home before and talked to my disappointing son for a long time. I thought the Second Young Miss was interested in my son, so I let them both stay in the room. But... maybe she touched Rouge." After saying that, Aunt Huang didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Huh?" Mrs. Situ was so angry that she laughed. Looking at Huang Ma, she felt a headache.

"Go away! I don't want to see you at the Situ family anymore." Madam Situ said with disgust. Huang Ma cried even harder after hearing this: "I'm so sorry, Madam, but you still treat me like this. I can never repay you in this life." After saying this, Huang Ma hit the pillar.

"Auntie Huang!" Mrs. Situ shouted in disbelief and ran over to see the person, but unfortunately, the person had already passed away.
