The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Upon hearing this, Tantai Wuyue couldn't help but chuckle, "This matter is already known to everyone. Do you still need me to follow up?"

"What do you mean?" Situ Yaorao had a bad feeling.

"At noon today, the eldest daughter of the Situ family held Dongfang Mo, the third son of the Dongfang family, hostage. They were in a car. She threatened to have sex with Dongfang Mo. If he disobeyed, she would beat him up. She even lost her temper when someone caught her." Tan Tai Wu Yue's voice was pleasant, elegant, and captivating. And every word that emanated from that voice was like a thorn, piercing Situ Yaorao's entire being.

When Tan Tai Wu Yue finished speaking, Situ Yaorao was completely stunned.

"What? Do you remember? Did you really force me?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao's dazed look and found it funny, so he teased her.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glared at him fiercely and said, "Are you kidding me? Am I crazy to look for him?"

"But now, everyone in the capital knows about it."

"I thought I'd forgotten something important! Turns out it's this! Oh my god. What if this news gets to the Situ family?" Situ Yaorao shuddered. It was unimaginable.

"But I think it won't be long before the Situ family will know about it. After all, even I already know about it. If it weren't for this matter, I wouldn't have brought you here so late at night." Tan Tai Wu Yue said with a smile.

He seemed to be gloating over someone else's misfortune. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao glared at him fiercely. Gnashing her teeth, she said, "Dantai Wuyue!"

"Ah? What do you want?"

"Don't laugh!" Situ Yaorao said harshly.

"Okay, I won't laugh. But... what's the use of me not laughing? You'd better think carefully about how to deal with General Situ. Otherwise, you will inevitably be punished." After Tan Tai Wu Yue finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing again.

Situ Yaorao was so sad that she wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Is it easy for me to earn five thousand taels?"

"Huh? What five thousand taels?"

"Ah? No...nothing." Situ Yaorao hurriedly covered up.

"Nothing?" Tantai Wuyue looked at her suspiciously and continued, "I heard recently that something bad happened to the Yu family in the capital. It seems that Yu Linglong was stolen. Even the imperial court is taking this matter very seriously. After all, Yu Linglong is a miracle drug that can cure diseases."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"The eldest daughter of the Yu family has been wanted. Anyone who dares to harbor her will be guilty. You shouldn't have done anything stupid, right?" Tan Tai Wu Yue looked at Situ Yaorao and asked coldly.

Situ Yaorao frowned when she heard this: "Today, I helped Dongfang Mo with something."

"You're sending the eldest daughter of the Yu family back?" Tantai Wuyue said calmly. Situ Yaorao didn't refute her.

"It is true. Dongfang Mo has always been elusive, but today he suddenly interacted with you and was even so intimate. There must be something fishy. Moreover, Dongfang Mo and Long Yue have always had a good relationship. What he did today was for Long Yue, which can be explained." Tan Tai Wu Yue calmly explained the whole cause and effect in front of Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao listened and secretly hated herself for being greedy at that time and being fooled by Tan Tai Wu Yue.

"However, this isn't a big deal. After all, you're the eldest daughter of the Situ family, and you've always only ever had eyes for handsome men, never beautiful women. So if anyone asks, just pretend you know nothing."

Even if Long Yue pointed it out to you, you could just say you never knew her. Ignorance is not a crime, and since you're the eldest daughter of the Situ family, no one would dare to say anything. "Tan Tai Wu Yue comforted Situ Yaorao.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glared at the man fiercely: "Although you are right, I can't be happy. Is there anyone who would say that to you?"

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally told the truth." Tantai Wuyue's smile was like a fox. Where was her usual aloof demeanor?

Situ Yaorao looked so angry that she wanted to tear his handsome face apart.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you back first. If the Situ family gets to know about what happened between you and me, I'm afraid nothing good will happen to us." After saying this, Tan Tai Wu Yue picked up Situ Yaorao, jumped up, and left gracefully.

In the man's arms, Situ Yaorao felt her heartbeat quicken. She had never known how liking someone could be like this. Before, when she met Cang, she had thought it was a kind of affection. But now she realized it was nothing more than her dependence.

"Have a good rest. If anything happens, just come to me with this badge." Tan Tai Wu Yue put Situ Yaorao on the bed, gave her a badge, and turned to leave.

Holding the jade token in her hand, Situ Yaorao couldn't help but smile. Her smile was bright and full of anticipation for the future, just like a real teenage girl.

But, as the saying goes, too much joy can lead to sorrow. Situ Yaorao slept all night, holding the jade token, and had a sweet dream. However, the next morning, she was woken by Lian'er.

"Miss, it's not good, it's not good."

"What's the matter? It's so noisy." Situ Yaorao was so sleepy that she turned around and continued to sleep.

"Oh my dear lady, you can't sleep any longer. If you do, I'm afraid the general will rush over and kill you with a sword."

"It's not like he hasn't thought about killing me." Situ Yaorao was sleepy and confused.

"Don't say that. Miss... you don't know, your affair with the Third Young Master Dongfang has been widely reported. Everyone says you forcibly abducted Young Master Dongfang, and now, all the women who adore Young Master Dongfang are blocking our door, saying they want you to die as a token of your guilt. Some powerful people are even threatening your life. The daughter of the Minister of War has lost half her life because of this incident. Now, the Minister of War has come to our house to avenge you."

Lian'er's words made Situ Yaorao, who was still in a daze, suddenly wake up.

Situ Yaorao suddenly jumped up. Looking at Lian'er, she said in disbelief, "Lian'er... I didn't hear you clearly just now. What did you say?"

"The matter between you and the third son of the Dongfang family has caused a lot of controversy."

"No, that's not right. It's behind." Situ Yaorao said with a serious face.

"The Minister of War has come to ask for punishment." Lian'er continued.

"Why don't you leave quickly?" Situ Yaorao was in a terrible state. She quickly jumped up and tried to put on her clothes. Seeing Situ Yaorao like this, Lian'er couldn't help but say, "Miss, you should at least dress up properly. Madam has said so. This is not a bad thing. As long as you can calm down the situation, this matter will be easily resolved. It might even lead to a good marriage."

"What a bullshit marriage! My mother is so eager for me to marry Dongfang Mo right now. Even if I tell her now that Dongfang Mo and I have had physical contact, she won't be angry. She will only prepare a dowry for me!" Situ Yaorao said anxiously.

"Miss, have you had physical contact with Young Master Dongfang?" Lian'er couldn't believe it.

"I'll slap you and me to death." Situ Yaorao glanced at Lian'er with hatred and said, "What are you thinking? How could I be so foolish? Hurry up and dress me up. If I don't go over now, I'm afraid my mother will plan to marry me off."

"Well...Miss, you don't have to worry. With that mother and daughter here, how can you and Mr. Dongfang end up together?" Lian'er said in a low voice.

At this point, Situ Yaorao felt relieved. That's right. How could Situ Honglei possibly think well of her?

"Anyway, let's get dressed and go over first. If that mother and daughter have other plans, I'll lose more than I gain."

"Miss, do you really not want to marry Mr. Dongfang?" Lian'er asked with some confusion.

"Oh, no."

"Why? Young Master Dongfang is handsome and talented. He is also a famous genius in the capital. His family background is also good. Any one of these is enough to make a woman crazy about him." Lian'er counted the man's good points.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao's mouth twitched. "Lian'er, not everyone sees people this way. To me, all that is nothing but empty talk. Family background... I'm the eldest daughter of the Situ family. I'm talented, and there are many talented people. As for other women being crazy about him, that's their business. In my life, I will only be crazy about one person."

"Who is that person?" Lian'er asked. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked at Lian'er deeply and said, "Keep it a secret."
