The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"Ha! Good of you, Situ Yu! Don't forget what I said today!" The Minister of War said, and left in anger. After the man left, Situ Yaorao breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next second, she heard General Situ say, "Rebellious girl! Kneel down!"

"Father." General Situ gave her face, and Situ Yaorao naturally would not make things difficult for General Situ, so she knelt down obediently.

"I'm asking you! What's going on? What's going on between you and the third young master of the Dongfang family? Are you really..." General Situ didn't finish his words.

Situ Yaorao smiled when he heard this: "Father, if you want to know the truth about this matter, you can just ask my good sister. Honglei, am I right?" Situ Yaorao looked at Situ Honglei.

"Huh? What happened? Honglei, tell me!"

Hearing General Situ's questioning, Situ Honglei naturally didn't dare to hide the truth at this time, so she said aggrievedly, "It's like this, father. My sister said yesterday that she wanted to meet the Third Young Master of the Dongfang. I originally didn't agree with her going, after all, your personality... But my sister insisted on going, and I didn't dare to disobey her, so I agreed. I didn't expect that after she went, my sister and Young Master Dongfang left together."

"It was Young Master Dongfang who took me away. Sister, don't be vague in your words." Situ Yaorao reminded coldly.

"Yes, it was Master Dongfang who took my sister away. I don't know what happened after that."

"Father, Hong Lei has already said it. It was Dongfang Mo who took the initiative to take me away. There was no such thing as me forcing him. As for these people... I think they just heard something from others."

Situ Yaorao said lightly.

"Ah..." Just when General Situ was about to believe Situ Yaorao's words, he heard a faint sigh. Hearing the sound, General Situ looked at his second wife.

"What's wrong?" General Situ was so gentle towards the second wife.

"No, nothing. I was just feeling emotional. My sister finally has someone to carry on her legacy. Seeing Yaorao avoiding the important issues, she is just like my sister."

At this point, General Situ became annoyed. He looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "Don't evade the important issues! Tell me! What exactly happened at the city gate yesterday with Dongfang Xiaoer?"

"If father wants to know, he can just ask Dongfang Mo. Why are you asking me what?" Situ Yaorao said casually.

"You! Do you really think I don't dare to ask?" General Situ was annoyed.

"Father, please feel free to ask if you want to. But... if the result has nothing to do with your daughter and damages her innocence, please don't regret it." Situ Yaorao said coldly.

"Hmph! Do you still have any innocence?" General Situ sneered.

After saying that, he said to the people outside: "Come, go and invite the Third Young Master Dongfang Mo to the General's Mansion!"

With these words, Situ Yaorao felt her heart sink. This man...hadn't considered her situation at all. He said he was her father, but in reality, he seemed more like an enemy.

And she didn't even seem like a member of this family.

"Yao Rao, come sit next to me." Madam Situ said hurriedly, seeing Situ Yao Rao's silent expression. Situ Yao Rao was stunned when she heard this, then her heart warmed and she sat down next to Madam Situ.

No matter how bad the Situ family was, at least she was still here. As long as Madam Situ was here, she would never leave this home. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao felt relieved.

Because today's matter was so serious, and Dongfang Mo had something on Situ Yaorao, he really came. When Dongfang Mo came, Chen Lu was still hanging on him.

With delicate eyebrows and thin lips, she amazed everyone.

"I, Dongfang Mo, pay my respects to General Situ."

"Mr. Dongfang, please stand up. The general summoned you here today not for any other reason, but for my disappointing daughter." General Situ said, looking at Situ Yaorao.

Situ Yaorao didn't even glance at them. Seeing this, how could someone as smart as Dongfang Mo not know what was going on? So, she said, "I'll definitely tell you everything I know."

"Actually... this general just wants to know what happened at the city gate yesterday?" General Situ did not finish his words, but gave the man face.

General Situ's attitude made Situ Yaorao's heart even colder. He could treat outsiders like this, so why only her?

"In reply to the General, I forced Miss Situ into doing what happened yesterday. To be honest, I was a little confused due to some reasons, so I did what I did to Miss Situ. This is all my fault."

"What? How is this possible? Did she do something to you? Or did she drug you?" General Situ was completely panicked.

"General, Miss Situ didn't do anything to me. This is all my fault. Since such a huge misunderstanding has occurred today, it's only natural for me to explain." Dongfang Mo decisively took all the blame on himself, fearing that Situ Yaorao would reveal the truth in a fit of rage. That would be the last straw.

"This is impossible!" General Situ felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

"What's impossible? Our Yaorao is not really as hopeless as you think. General, over the years, you have never looked at Yaorao straight in the eye, and even... indiscriminately decided that Yaorao was wrong. Today, you almost ruined Yaorao's innocence. Is there any father like you? If you insist on going ahead, don't blame me for disregarding our marital relationship and taking Yaorao back to her parents' home!"

Madam Situ's words made General Situ even more excited. He hurriedly said, "Madam, don't be angry. I am just..."

"General, I don't care what you thought before. But now... I hope you can make the decision for Yaorao."

"How should we decide this?" General Situ was puzzled.

Situ Yaorao had a bad feeling in her heart and even wanted to run away.

"It's very simple. This man destroyed Yaorao's innocence in front of so many people. This matter cannot be let go like this. At the very least, he should be sent on a sedan chair to take Yaorao home!" Mrs. Situ said coldly.

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Although General Situ said he wanted to punish Situ Yaorao, he never considered marrying her off to the Dongfang family. After all, Honglei was already married there. If Yaorao married the Third Young Master, coupled with his intelligence, he would surely outshine Honglei. Then, Honglei's life would be difficult.

How could he allow this to happen?

However, he couldn't refute what Madam Situ said. His daughter's innocence had been ruined, so he couldn't just let it go. The best solution was to marry her off.

For a moment, General Situ was completely confused.

Dongfang Mo was equally stunned. He felt deeply wronged. He had only been kind enough to send Yu Longyue back yesterday, but who knew it would involve so much? And now he was even going to marry the eldest daughter of the Situ family?

Is God playing a trick on him?

She didn't know who God was playing tricks on, but what she did know was that if she got engaged to someone from the Dongfang family, Tan Tai Wu Yue would definitely tear her apart! Situ Yaorao was so conflicted.

Because of Madam Situ's words, everyone was entangled. However, Madam Situ was not going to give up just like that.

"This is the best way to solve our Yaorao problem. After all, those women outside are not easy to deal with." Everyone understood what Mrs. Situ said.

But... they really couldn't bring themselves to marry Situ Yaorao to Dongfang Mo.

"Hey! Madam, let's take a long-term view on this matter." General Situ looked at Madam Situ and said to her. Madam Situ sneered at her words: "Discuss? Discuss what? General, are you kidding me? My daughter has suffered such an injustice. If she doesn't marry him, what will she do in her life?"

"Mom, I also think this matter needs to be considered carefully." Situ Yaorao said.

"Yao Rao?" Mrs. Situ didn't expect Situ Yao Rao to suddenly come out to refute.

Not only was she surprised, but everyone present was surprised. After all, Situ Yaorao had always loved handsome men. Having someone as good-looking as Dongfang Mo was something she would have been more than happy to have.
