The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 154: Trial and Disappointment

"Father, please speak." Situ Yaorao felt even colder in her heart.

"I want you to help me find someone to cure Red Tears."

"Father, you're a general, why don't you go and invite them yourself?" Situ Yaorao asked, feigning ignorance. General Situ's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said, "It's not very convenient for me to go. So, Yaorao, could you please go there for me? If you agree, I can guarantee that the eldest daughter of the Situ family will never change in the future."

"Father, whether I go or not, I am the eldest daughter of the Situ family." Situ Yaorao said coldly.

"you!"

"Father wanted me to save someone, so he should have given me a reward that would move my heart. Otherwise, I'd rather watch Hong Lei die like this." Situ Yaorao said coldly, completely disdainful of pretending to be a good daughter. After all, no matter what, General Situ had never considered her his own daughter.

"Yao Rao, the person lying on the hospital bed is your own sister." General Situ said angrily.

"So what? My father never treated me as well as she did, and now I don't know what he wants me to do. Wouldn't I be stupid if I didn't think about myself?"

"As long as you agree, you can have whatever you want!" said General Situ.

"You said so. In that case, please sign a written agreement. Just say that as long as I am willing to help you ask someone to save Situ Honglei, no matter what the outcome, you must not interfere with my freedom again, and support me unconditionally if I need any help."

"Isn't that a bit too much?" General Situ frowned.

"If father doesn't want to, forget it. It's all the same to me anyway." Situ Yaorao said casually. Hearing this, General Situ hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll write it."

After saying this, General Situ found some pen and ink, wrote down a document, and stamped it with his seal: "Is this all right? I want you to help me ask your uncle to come and save Hong Lei. No matter what method you use, you must let him come and save her!"

General Situ was very smart and did not tell the man what he wanted, but just asked Situ Yaorao to go.

Situ Yaorao naturally wouldn't agree directly. So she looked surprised and said, "I actually have an uncle?"

Then he remembered that Situ Yaorao didn't know about that man, so General Situ said: "Yes, you do have a little uncle, but because he made a mistake, he was locked up. I never let you know. Today I have no choice. Yaorao, please follow me." General Situ said and walked out of the room.

Then he brought Situ Yaorao to the back mountain.

"Is this where my uncle lives?" Situ Yaorao asked with feigned curiosity. Hearing this, General Situ nodded and said, "Yes."

Then he took Situ Yaorao into the formation: "From now on, every step I take, you will follow."

"Yes, father." Situ Yaorao followed General Situ's footsteps and returned to the place. The man was still reading there, with a strong scholarly air about him.

Seeing Situ Yaorao and General Situ coming, he smiled gently and elegantly: "Long time no see, brother."

"Well, I have brought you the person you want to see. Now it's time for you to help me, right?" General Situ said coldly.

"Oh? So, this girl is agreeing to marry me?" The man was slightly surprised. Meanwhile, Situ Yaorao immediately expressed shock and disbelief: "Marry him? Father...why? He's not?"

"He is not from my Situ family. There is nothing wrong with marrying him."

"But Father!"

"There's no but. This is what he wants to do to save Hong Lei. If you have no other way, you'll have to stay here forever." General Situ said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao sneered, "So this is my father's plan. Are you going to sacrifice me for Situ Honglei?"

General Situ fell silent upon hearing this. No words were spoken.

"Father, can you let me talk to my uncle?" Situ Yaorao looked at General Situ and said lightly.

Upon hearing this, General Situ glanced at Situ Yaorao, thought for a moment and said, "If you can convince him not to marry you, then try. After all, you are my daughter, and I don't want to see you..." General Situ shook his head and left before he finished his words.

After General Situ left, Situ Yaorao's face darkened.

"Unhappy?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao and asked with a smile.

"If it were you, would you be happy?" Situ Yaorao asked back.

"Probably not." said the man.

"If that's the case, why did you make that request? To ask me to marry you?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion. She suddenly realized that she couldn't understand this man anymore.

"I just wanted to see you. I'm bored here, but I can't leave. It just so happened that my brother came to ask me for help, so I thought, should I meet you? But I didn't expect that he would actually send you to me for his other daughter." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and touched the woman's face with some heartache: "Don't worry, I will save Situ Honglei for you, and I won't ask you to marry me."

"I know." Situ Yaorao looked at the man indifferently.

"You know?" The man was slightly surprised.

"Ah, I know, little uncle, you are a gentle person and would never make such a request."

"Then why did you come to see me?" the man was puzzled.

"Because I have something to ask of you." Situ Yaorao laughed and looked at the man and said, "Situ Honglei framed me. If I hadn't met my uncle, if he wasn't such a gentle person, I might have really married you. She hurt me so much, how could I let her off so easily?"

"Oh? What do you want me to do?" The man chuckled and looked at Situ Yaorao's appearance, becoming more gentle.

"She is about to marry the Sixth Prince as a concubine. As a woman, what she cares about most is her face. Situ Honglei is especially so. Since she is trying to harm me, please help me use this to make her suffer as well." Situ Yaorao said, taking out a box of rouge.

"This is?"

"She had someone send this to me a while ago. After using it, my face got a lot of red spots. I want to ask my uncle to use it on her. And find a reason to let her get married like that. But don't worry, uncle, the red spots on her face will disappear naturally in half a month."

Situ Yaorao looked at the man with a gloomy smile.

The man took the rouge and played with it: "I guess she really pissed you off."

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Situ Honglei is really going too far," Situ Yaorao said coldly. Hearing this, the man chuckled, "I'm relieved to see you like this. You're different from my sister-in-law. You need to be smarter and more ruthless. That way, you won't be bullied. Well, I'll help you."

After saying that, the man waved his hand, and General Situ, who would never be able to come in again after leaving, appeared here.

"How is it?" General Situ asked hurriedly.

Hearing this, the man glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm willing to help, but there's no need for Yaorao to marry me. I said this before because I was just curious about which of your two daughters you care about more. The result... is really disappointing."
