The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

"This is the same for my sister. I can handle my own affairs, but your affairs..." Situ Yaorao did not finish her words, but just glanced at her faintly.

Situ Honglei thought that Situ Yaorao was just trying to show off, and because she was in a good mood, she didn't bother to provoke her anymore, so she said, "I will also make good preparations, please rest assured. I came here today just to tell you about this matter. In case you don't know about it and get caught off guard. I'll take my leave first." After that, Situ Honglei left.

After Situ Honglei left, Lian'er came out from the backyard. She smacked her lips and said, "Miss, when did she become so kind?"

"Oh! Does she mean well? She clearly just wants to sway my heart. However, this matter is indeed very depressing. Originally, there was still a chance for the female exam to pass, but now, that chance has been blocked by the Crown Prince of Mingyue Country." Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao wanted to tear apart the Crown Prince of Mingyue Country, whom she had never met.

However, she was angry, and some people really didn't understand.

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Tan Tai Wu Yue tapped the chessboard absentmindedly. Across from him, Tan Tai Yun Yi looked distressed. He smiled, "What's wrong?"

"The female exam will be held in three days." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

"Ah, so what?" Tan Tai Wu Yue was calm, but it was not that he was not worried about Situ Yaorao, but that he believed that Situ Yaorao would succeed.

"There are too many women taking the exam this time. This has made my workload more difficult. If I had known it would be so troublesome, I would never have agreed to host it." Tan Tai Yun Yi said in great distress.

"Whether there are many people or few people, isn't it all the same to you? It's all equally simple. After all, you never take those people seriously." Tan Tai Wu Yue said lightly.

"That's true, but that's not what I'm worried about." Tan Tai Yun Yi continued.

"So what are you worried about?"

"The eldest daughter of the Situ family."

"Oh?" Tantai Wuyue was surprised. "This is the first time I've heard from you that you're worried about a girl. Why? Are you interested in the eldest daughter of the Situ family?"

"That's not the case, I just think she's very interesting. However, if we really have to choose a princess, she's not bad." Tan Tai Yunyi chuckled.

The chess piece in Tantai Wuyue's hand shattered. He looked at the man and said, "I'm afraid her words won't work."

"Why do you say that?" Tantai Yunyi was suspicious. Looking at the shattered black piece, he already had a conclusion in his mind. As expected, the prince was truly moved.

Although I don’t know where that woman got such great ability to attract the prince, but... this is definitely not a good thing.

"She is not suitable for you. It's better to find another woman. That woman is destined to cause trouble." Tan Tai Wu Yue whispered.

"That depends on her own choice. Although I have no interest in marrying a princess." Tan Tai Yun Yi said casually.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Wu Yue frowned.

How could he, as smart as he is, not know that Tan Tai Yun Yi was testing him just now?

"Yun Yi, you and I grew up together, you should know my temper?" Tan Tai Wu Yue said coldly.

"Ah, I know your temper very well. But, precisely because I know it well, I have to stop you." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

"I have never wanted something so much. She is the first and the last. If I can't get her, I'd rather not live." Tan Tai Wu Yue continued.

"But she is not suitable for you. The Yuehua poison has blocked your future with her. Prince, as you said, you and I grew up together, and you should understand my temper." Tan Tai Yunyi said.

"No matter what you do, if you dare to hurt her, I will not forgive you."

"Of course not. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the guts. You know, she's the eldest daughter of the Situ family." Tan Tai Yun Yi chuckled. Tan Tai Wu Yue stared coldly at the chessboard on the table, wondering what was going on.

The news of Mingyue Kingdom's Crown Prince's arrival quickly spread throughout Jingchen. Undoubtedly, Madam Situ also knew about it. After learning about this, Madam Situ, worried, came to Situ Yaorao's room.

"Mother, have some tea." Situ Yaorao poured the woman a cup of tea and then sat down in front of her respectfully. Madam Situ looked at Situ Yaorao with a kind look and said softly, "Yaorao, have you heard about that incident?"

"To answer mother's question, Honglei mentioned it today. Lian'er also told me." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Madam Situ frowned upon hearing this: "Humph! That mother and daughter are truly a pair of devils, always wishing others the worst."

"Mom, don't be angry." Situ Yaorao coaxed Mrs. Situ.

Upon hearing this, Madam Situ couldn't help but sigh softly, "How can I not be angry? You started learning late to begin with, and no matter how hard you try, it's going to be hard for you to pass the women's exam. And then something like this happened. The whole world is watching this women's exam. If you don't pass, I'm worried about how you'll continue to stay in Lanlin."

"Mom, I naturally have my own way, so you don't have to worry." Situ Yaorao said.

"What do you want to do? Don't do anything rash." Mrs. Situ said worriedly.

"My daughter has grown up and knows her limits in many things. Please rest assured, mother." Situ Yaorao continued to coax her. Upon hearing this, Madam Situ nodded and said, "Since you said so, I have nothing to say. But Yaorao, you must remember that no matter what happens, you must not act recklessly. Your life is the most important thing." Madam Situ said earnestly.

"I understand. Perhaps, in the entire Situ family, the one who cares most about her daughter's life is her mother." Situ Yaorao said.

"Why are you talking nonsense? Your father cares about it too." Mrs. Situ said with a chuckle.

"How could that be? If she cared about my life or death, why would she push me into danger again and again instead of protecting me? Maybe she simply wanted to kill me. I even feel that I am not his daughter." Situ Yaorao said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Madam Situ's expression changed, and she said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense like that!"

Madam Situ's outburst startled Situ Yaorao. She also realized that her attitude was a bit too much, so she said, "I'm sorry, Yaorao... I got a little excited."

"It's nothing, Mom is just worried that I might say something wrong." Situ Yaorao explained with a chuckle. But she had doubts in her heart.

Madam Situ had been very kind to Situ Yaorao over the years, but General Situ had basically ignored her. If she wasn't his biological daughter, how could he have such a father?

"Yao Rao, you must remember, no matter what happens, he is your father. You only have this one father in this world." Mrs. Situ looked at Situ Yao Rao and continued.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked deeply at Madam Situ, then nodded and said, "Mom, I understand."

"That's good. But don't listen to what others say. If anyone says so, tell mother, and I will definitely kill that person." Mrs. Situ's voice was fierce.

Situ Yaorao nodded.

"Then, mother will go back first. You should prepare for the female exam well, and mother will not disturb you anymore." After Mrs. Situ said this, she fled away.

Situ Yaorao played with the teacup, her red lips curled up: "There is indeed a problem."

"Miss, what's the problem?" As soon as Situ Yaorao finished speaking, Lian'er walked in from outside and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Nothing, I don't like this tea. Let's try another one tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

People always make mistakes sometimes. Even someone as noble as Madam Situ is no exception. On the way back to the courtyard, Madam Situ felt sick.

Back then, she was crazy about love, but ended up being disbelieved.

Marrying General Situ was not her wish, but after being married for so long, it had become a habit. Because of this, she would usually indulge him.

Because I always feel that I owe others. But it is this attitude that makes them suspicious.
