The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"In other words, Wutan Forest is a place that tests your intelligence and vision, rather than just your force, right?" Situ Yaorao summarized and said this.

"That's right. This is the only way to survive in the Wutian Forest. I've seen many people kill countless people in the Wutian Forest, but in the end they were outnumbered. Many times, the better way is to let them kill each other." The man said this and looked at Situ Yaorao: "Do you remember what I said?"

"Yes, I'll remember that." Situ Yaorao said seriously, but her heart was filled with shock. She had to admit, this young uncle was indeed very clever. Even clever enough to be a little cruel.

When others enter the Wutian Forest, their primary concern is conquering it, whether through slaughter or whatever. Others simply want to survive.

However, it is rare to find someone who can play people around like he does.

But such a person ended up in such a situation.

"Uncle, have you ever thought about leaving?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Leave? So what? What I wanted and what I wanted to protect are all gone. It's better to stay here in peace and quiet. So as not to be disturbed by the worldly troubles and dirty my heart." The man sighed.

"Are you willing to just leave it like this?" Situ Yaorao couldn't help but continue.

"I don't know whether I'm willing or not. Maybe, I'm a little reluctant. What I thought was smart and intelligent ended up being the reason for my biggest loss. If I could start over again, maybe I would still make that choice. That's why I don't want to go out. Here is my best choice. Yaorao, you don't understand now, but one day you will understand. When you find out that you are just a pawn in the hands of others, you will feel despair and humiliation." The man sighed again when he said this.

"I really don't understand, but if anyone takes advantage of me, they must pay the price." Situ Yaorao said fiercely.

"You and her are really alike." The man chuckled.

"With whom? My mother?" Situ Yaorao was curious.

Hearing this, the man shook his head. "How could that be? Your mother is a gentle person, so it's impossible for her to be like this. I'm talking about... the person who died for you."

"Really?" Situ Yaorao's face darkened. She was really bringing up something irrelevant.

"I'll take my leave now, uncle."

"Okay, remember what I said." The man's smile remained light. But Situ Yaorao hated it. This man never spoke clearly about anything he did, instead using provocation and anger. Just like now, he wanted her to leave. It was the same thing.

However, no matter what, she finally got the answer she wanted most. Situ Yaorao was very satisfied.

When I returned to the yard, I saw Lian'er circling anxiously.

"Lian'er? What's wrong?"

"Oh my lady, you are finally back. Where have you been? I just went to buy you some cakes, and you were not there."

"Nothing, I was just bored and wandered around." Situ Yaorao took the package of pastries, opened it and put the pastries in her mouth.

"Speaking of which, Miss, do you know who will be taking the female exam this time?" Lian'er looked at Situ Yaorao and kept the secret.

"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Situ Yaorao asked back.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom!" Lian'er was very excited when talking about this person.

"What does Lan Lin's female exam have to do with him?" Situ Yaorao asked lightly after eating a piece of cake.

"This... I don't know either, but do you know, young lady? People say that the Crown Prince of Mingyue Kingdom is the most beautiful person in the world. It is said that even the most beautiful woman in the world will feel ashamed in front of him." Lian'er became even more excited when she said this.

"Really? Ever since I met Cang, I can't imagine anyone more handsome than him." Situ Yaorao said casually.

Lian Er was silent after hearing this. Although she said that Cang was simply sick, she had to admit that she was really beautiful. So beautiful that it seemed unrealistic.

Just like a fairy.

"No! Why are you being taken away again, Miss?! Miss, that's not the point. The point is that because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Mingyue Country is coming, now even the princesses will be taking the female exam together. Some people who have already taken the female exam for the first time have decided to take it again."

"Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be stopped?" Situ Yaorao was puzzled.

"This is what everyone wants. No one said that women couldn't take the exam a second time. Even if they passed the first time, it was still possible. It's just that few people do it. Now, almost all the women in Lanlin want to take it again. So no one dares to say anything." Lian'er said angrily.

"You've said so much, what's the point?" Situ Yaorao threw another piece of pastry into her mouth and continued to ask.

"The key point?" Lian'er's eyes widened. "Because of these people, it's going to be even harder for you to pass the women's exam. Isn't that the key point?"

"Ah?" Situ Yaorao was stunned: "Where did this come from?"

"Miss, don't you know? There is a certain number of women who can pass the exam. Plus, this time all the women have to take the exam again. The emperor was furious and ordered that if a woman fails the exam this time, the result of the last exam will not be counted! Moreover, the number of people who can pass is limited." Lian'er said with great sorrow.

"So, because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my female exam has become even more difficult?" Situ Yaorao thought it was just a fantasy. Who on earth had she offended?

"If you must say that, that's fine." Lian'er said helplessly.

"I have a grudge! I definitely have a huge grudge against that prince!" Situ Yaorao said with gritted teeth. Lian'er, hearing this, felt a little sorry and said, "Miss... there's nothing we can do about this. If you want to pass the female exam, it will be extremely difficult. But, fortunately, everyone is in the same boat as you," Lian'er said.

"So what if everyone is like me?" Situ Yaorao frowned, her mind already firm in her decision. She absolutely had to prepare for the trip to Wutian Forest. Otherwise, with this kind of attitude... she would never pass the female exam.

Situ Yaorao was already extremely depressed, and the most terrifying thing was that there were people who thought Situ Yaorao was not angry enough.

"Hey, where have all these people gone? Why is there no one to greet the guests?" A woman's somewhat sarcastic voice sounded outside. When Situ Yaorao heard it, she felt overwhelmed.

"Miss...it's Situ Honglei. Do you think I should send her away?" Lian'er looked at Situ Yaorao and asked.

Situ Yaorao shook her head when she heard this. "She came here now, probably to talk about this matter. Even if you send her away, she won't let it go. This woman is so angry that she won't be satisfied until I die."

"But Miss."

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about. Lian'er, you can leave first. I'll go over and take a look. I want to see what this woman is trying to do." After saying that, Situ Yaorao walked out of the room and went to the hall of her own yard.

Sure enough, Situ Honglei was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Seeing Situ Yaorao coming, she quickly stood up and said, "Oh, sister, you're finally here. I was so worried."

"Sister, why are you so anxious? What's the big deal?" Situ Yaorao asked calmly, pretending to know nothing.

"Sister, you don't know yet?" Situ Honglei looked surprised.

"Know what?" Situ Yaorao asked knowingly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Mingyue is coming to Lanlin. Because of this, many women have gone crazy and want to take the female exam. The number of women taking the exam has suddenly increased, and His Majesty is furious." Situ Honglei looked panicked, which made Situ Yaorao laugh. This woman, perhaps, just wanted to see her panic?

"Such a big deal... Where did you hear this from, sister?" Situ Yaorao also acted panicked. Seeing this, Situ Honglei felt very proud and said, "This is what my father found out for me. Sister, you should also review what you learned earlier, otherwise, this women's exam will be really bad." Situ Honglei said.
