The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 136 Yunluo's Visit

"Is it really okay for you to do this?" Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao, with a different color in her lazy eyes.

"Huh? What?"

"I sent my bodyguard to my maid. What if something happens to you?"

"impossible."

"What if?" Yu Sheng frowned.

"There's no such thing as a surprise. I won't let myself get hurt. This is the premise of protecting others. But if Lian'er gets hurt, I'll be sad." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

Yu Sheng smiled when she heard this: "So, according to you, you did this all for yourself?"

"Of course." Situ Yaorao said as if it was a matter of course.

Yu Sheng remained silent. Because, in his eyes, he only saw Situ Yaorao doing things for others. This woman was really a bit clumsy. Even the way she talked about caring for others was so stiff.

However, it is surprisingly pleasing.

"If anything really happens, I will protect you." Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao and said firmly. He didn't know if it was an oath or just for himself.

Situ Yaorao glanced at him calmly and said, "Before that, you should protect yourself first. If I'm not mistaken, the Yu family won't let you go so easily after you leave."

Yu Sheng didn't expect Situ Yaorao to suddenly bring up this matter, and was a little surprised.

"Don't look at me like that. I have my brain too. The Yu family is a prominent and prestigious family. How could such a family allow their own legitimate offspring to leave the Yu family and leave the Yu family without an heir? Lan Yi Pavilion is so big, if it weren't for someone helping behind the scenes, it wouldn't have fallen so quickly." Situ Yaorao said lightly.

"So, you concluded that it was the Yu family who was secretly interfering?"

"Isn't it?" Situ Yaorao asked back.

Yu Sheng didn't refute Situ Yaorao's words, because he had to admit that what Situ Yaorao said was indeed true. If the Yu family hadn't been behind the scenes, he wouldn't have been so desperate. In the end, he watched his beloved woman die before him, not knowing what to do. But... what he hadn't expected most was Qinghe.

He never expected that Qinghe was also involved.

"Since you know everything, why do you still want to take me in? Do you know that taking me in will only anger the Yu family?" Yu Sheng looked at Situ Yaorao and asked in confusion.

Situ Yaorao smiled harmlessly upon hearing this. Thinking of the woman and Dongfang Mo's conspiracy against her, she said, "Because not long ago, a member of the Yu family took advantage of me. Although I benefited from it, the feeling of being taken advantage of is not very good, so I think it's better to take a little revenge. After all, what I hate most is being taken advantage of."

"You really are..." Yu Sheng didn't know what to say.

"Okay, go and do whatever you need to do. I'm afraid we won't be able to have dinner today. I have to go out and find a cook." With that, Situ Yaorao was about to walk out.

However, before Situ Yaorao left the kitchen, she heard Lian'er's voice again: "Miss, someone is visiting and said they want to come here to work."

"Come here to work? Didn't I tell you that if you're not handsome, don't look for me." Situ Yaorao said as she walked out.

Outside, Lian'er glanced at the purple-robed man sitting there drinking tea, turned her head away silently, and shouted, "But... this young man is very handsome."

After hearing Lian'er's words, Situ Yaorao quickly walked out of the kitchen. However, when she arrived at the lobby, she wanted to go back.

Looking at the handsome but evil man drinking tea, Situ Yaorao finally felt what it meant to be haunted.

Ever since the last time he and that fake woman Ruyi forced her to enter the Prince's Mansion, she has refused to have any contact with anyone from the Demon Sect.

As a result...it's here again?

"Are you the one who's going to work here?" Situ Yaorao said with a gloomy expression as she walked up to him. Upon hearing this, the man looked at Situ Yaorao with his beautiful, almost bewitching eyes and said, "My name is Yunluo. I'm looking for a place to settle down in the capital, so I'd like to stay here and work." The man's tone was gentle, and his posture was elegant.

However, all of this cannot overcome one fact: this guy is the leader of a demon cult!

"Sorry, we don't want someone like you here."

"Oh? Didn't you say he had to be handsome?" the man asked back.

Situ Yaorao heard this and smiled harmlessly: "But you are too handsome for me to bear, so no."

“…” I am speechless. I am truly speechless.

Not to mention Yun Luo who just arrived, even Lian Er and the others were speechless. Situ Yaorao's thoughts were truly unpredictable. One second it was wind, the next it was rain.

"Well...Miss, why don't we just stay here?" Lian'er looked at the man and said with some reluctance.

"Don't keep him. Weixing, throw him out. Remember, keep him far away from our store. Don't let him appear in front of me again." Situ Yaorao said decisively.

Then, Situ Weixing obediently walked in front of the man. However, the moment he made his move, the purple-clothed man disappeared from his seat and landed next to Situ Yaorao.

He put his arm around the woman's shoulder and said gently, "Don't be so tough. I just want to keep a place for myself here with you."

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of being a shield for others, so, I'm sorry. I can't keep you here."

"Even if... I can keep you safe?" The man looked at Situ Yaorao and continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao sneered, "You're probably struggling to protect yourself right now, and you're still talking about protecting me? That's ridiculous!"

"But I can help you catch the flower thief." The man looked at Situ Yaorao with a casual look on his face.

Situ Yaorao was indeed stunned: "How do you know about the flower thief?"

"I've been following the case of the flower thief lately, so I naturally know about it. However, I haven't thought about catching him. If you're willing to stay with me, I'll help you catch him. How about that?"

The man looked at Situ Yaorao and asked softly.

Situ Yaorao hesitated after hearing this. After a while, she looked at the people here and then pulled Yun Luo upstairs.

After going upstairs, Situ Yaorao said with a serious face: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"Huh? How could I have any purpose?" The man looked innocent.

"Don't play dumb. You screwed me so badly back then, and now you're still trying to play innocent? I remember I rejected you that day." Situ Yaorao was furious. She was truly worried about this man. But she was also tempted by his conditions. For a moment, she was furious.

Seeing Situ Yaorao's fiery temper, the man chuckled. "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I just want to stay in a quiet place to heal. As you said, I can't protect myself. The Demon Cult has been in chaos recently. Although I got the elixir, I am still too seriously injured. So I can't go back to take charge for the time being. Now, everyone in the Demon Cult is staring at me. If I'm not careful, I might die."

"In that case, I can't keep you here anymore. What if your affairs involve me?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

"Although the Demon Cult is ferocious, they will not attack the imperial court. The Demon Cult and the righteous people in the martial arts world are already at odds with each other. If they offend the imperial court at this time, they know better than anyone what the consequences will be. So, you will be safe by your side." Yun Luo looked at Situ Yaorao and said carefully.

Situ Yaorao fell silent after hearing this. Although what he said made sense, she still felt that something was wrong.

"I'm already here, so I naturally have no ill intentions. If you don't believe me, you can just drive me away. You can even hand me over to the authorities. But then, that flower thief will continue to endanger the capital." The man looked at Situ Yaorao and continued.

"What do you mean?" Situ Yaorao frowned.

"Why do you think the flower thief hasn't been caught yet?"

"Because there's a powerful force behind it?" Situ Yaorao said, citing Yu Sheng's analysis. Yun Luo nodded, "Yes, that's right. But I don't think there are many forces that can make even the imperial court dare not touch them."

"so what?"
