The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Chapter 141 Calculation

Gu Yunjing watched this scene with hatred in his heart. He had always been calculating others, but now, he was being calculated to this extent by a woman. He really didn't know whether to be ashamed or angry.

"My cousin is so calculating. She left me alone in Tianxiang Tower and came here herself." Gu Yunjing said gritting his teeth.

"How can you say that, cousin? I just did as you asked and took you to a place that men find interesting. After all, cousin, you asked me if there are any interesting places in the capital." Situ Yaorao looked innocent.

Gu Yunjing didn't know what to say. Had she been plotting against him since that moment?

"Why did my cousin treat me like this? Should I give her an explanation?" Gu Yunjing calmed down and asked calmly. Situ Yaorao was a little surprised. She didn't expect Gu Yunjing to calm down so quickly.

I had no choice but to say, "Cousin, you're joking. I don't have any reason to do this. I just think it's funny."

"Oh? Is that so? Now that my cousin has had enough fun, should she go back with me?" Gu Yunjing asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I obey my cousin in everything." Situ Yaorao said with a smile, which made Gu Yunjing so angry that he didn't know where to vent.

But at the same time, she also had another thought in her mind. Situ Yaorao did this for only one reason: she wanted to tell him that she didn't like him. She wanted him to stop thinking about it. But she didn't know if this idea was hers or Mrs. Situ's.

Gu Yunjing thought to himself and frowned.

"Ouch." Just as Gu Yunjing was thinking about it, Situ Yaorao suddenly sat down on the ground and groaned.

"Cousin? What happened to you?" Gu Yunjing looked down at Situ Yaorao, who was sitting on the ground and unable to get up. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked at the man aggrievedly and said, "I sprained my ankle. It hurts so much. It looks like I can't get up."

"My cousin can set bones. Do you need him to help you?" Gu Yunjing frowned. It was obvious that he didn't believe what Situ Yaorao said. How could he sprain his ankle on such a flat ground?

"Cousin... I don't want to walk anymore. My feet hurt." Situ Yaorao pretended not to hear him and just said it aggrievedly. After that, she added, "Mom once said that you were the best to me when I was a child. Cousin, can you carry me on your back?" Situ Yaorao looked at him aggrievedly.

Situ Yaorao was already very beautiful, and now that she looked aggrieved, few people could resist her. Gu Yunjing had originally ordered Situ Yaorao to fall in love with him, but now seeing Situ Yaorao like this, he gritted his teeth, squatted down, and said, "Come up."

Seeing him squat, Situ Yaorao smiled with satisfaction, then jumped onto his back and let him carry him. Gu Yunjing had only carried the bodies of soldiers in his life, and this was the first time he had carried a woman on his back.

Situ Yaorao had a great figure, and carrying her on his back made Gu Yunjing feel tense all over. The moment he carried her on his back, he couldn't help but want to put her down. But thinking of his mission, he gritted his teeth and continued walking.

"Cousin, I've always thought that maybe one day, my brother would carry me on his back like this. But my brother rarely gets this close to me, so you're probably the first one to carry me on his back. After all, my father doesn't like me very much." Situ Yaorao acted aggrieved. But in her heart, she was thinking about how to test this man.

There was no doubt that the Gu family wanted to use them. So, too, could she use them. The old men said, "If no one offends me, I won't offend them. But if someone offends you, you must find a way to make them suffer the consequences." Judging from Gu Yunjing's attitude today, he simply hoped she would like him. If she could get him to like her, then everything would fall apart. Whatever schemes they had, they would be useless. As long as she kept her heart, she wouldn't cause trouble for Madam Situ.

Thinking about it, Situ Yaorao made a decision in her heart.

"Cousin, is there anything you like?" Gu Yunjing couldn't help but ask, carrying Situ Yaorao on his back. Situ Yaorao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I like looking at flowers, especially the legendary lover's flower. I also like boating. Ah Ruo's favorite thing is probably..."

"What is it?"

"Keep it secret. If you want to know, go and guess it yourself." Situ Yaorao's voice was light and playful. Gu Yunjing had never been so close to a woman before. Listening to Situ Yaorao's words, he couldn't help but soften his tone: "Cousin, you are really naughty."

"Cousin, you're joking." Situ Yaorao said in a light tone.

Situ Yaorao's attitude was so unpredictable that Gu Yunjing felt he couldn't grasp her thoughts. This feeling made Gu Yunjing very anxious. Fortunately, the road was not far. They soon arrived at Gu's house.

After entering the Gu family, the Gu family members were shocked to see Gu Yunjing carrying Situ Yaorao on his back. They thought that Situ Yaorao might become the mistress of the Gu family.

The spy of the head of the Gu family reported it immediately.

Gu Yunjing put Situ Yaorao down and said, "Cousin, I have some things to take care of, so I'll go back first. You should change out of men's clothes quickly and go back to rest. Don't run around in the future. After all, it's not safe outside." Gu Yunjing said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I'll go back now." After that, she turned around and returned to the yard with Mrs. Situ.

When she returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Situ looked very unhappy. Seeing Situ Yaorao coming back, she hurriedly said, "Yaorao, come in with me."

"Yes, mother." Unexpectedly, Madam Situ suddenly showed such an attitude, Situ Yaorao had no choice but to follow in. Meanwhile, on the other side, after Gu Yunjing put Situ Yaorao down, he went to report to the head of the Gu family.

"Father." Gu Yunjing's attitude was respectful. The head of the Gu family smiled and said, "Yunjing, you did a good job. I just didn't expect that girl to be captured by you so quickly. You really are a good son to your father."

"Father, there is no relationship between us." Gu Yunjing said calmly. The head of the Gu family was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't you carry her back?"

"My cousin just said she sprained her ankle, so she asked me to carry her back. And...my cousin seemed to know something. After she left, she tricked me into going to Tianxiang Tower and left alone. When I caught up with her, I brought her back."

"Asshole!" The Gu family patriarch slapped the man in the face. Blood was evident at the corner of Gu Yunjing's mouth. Gu Yunjing silently wiped his mouth and said, "It's my fault."

"Forget it, forget it. You have to remember that girl is just like her mother, neither of them is a good person. It's enough to make her fall in love with you and marry you. As for what happens next, it's up to you. As long as you don't divorce her, I won't stop you even if you want to marry the woman you love."

"Yun Jing doesn't have a beloved woman." Gu Yunjing said lightly.

Seeing him like this, the Gu family's patriarch didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said, "Alright, just looking at you makes me angry, go down first. I'll create opportunities for you later."

On the Gu family's patriarch's side, Gu Yunjing silently retreated. The patriarch sighed thoughtfully. Meanwhile, Situ Yaorao knelt before Madam Situ.

"Mom, what are you going to do?" Situ Yaorao asked in confusion while kneeling on the ground.

"Yao Rao, let me ask you. Has your mother treated you well over the years?"

"Mother is naturally good to me. I am a naughty daughter. If you were not here, I would have died countless times by now." Situ Yaorao said.

Hearing Situ Yaorao's words, Madam Situ nodded in satisfaction: "People raise daughters to help the family. I raised you, but not for these reasons. I just hope that you can be happy. But... there are only three people you cannot marry."

"Mom, you say." Situ Yaorao said respectfully.

"The first person you cannot marry is the Crown Prince of Mingyue Country. You cannot marry that man under any circumstances! You must agree to this!"

"I...I agree." Situ Yaorao said.

"The second person you cannot marry is our Lanlin's Crown Prince, Tan Tai Wu Yue. If you marry him, I will die in front of you!" Madam Situ said sternly.
