The Empress Dowager's words made General Situ's heart thump. The word 'in-laws' woke him up from the shock of the night. Previously, when he saw Yao Rao bullying Hong Lei, his heart ached for Hong Lei and he wanted to punish Yao Rao. He had actually forgotten about that family! Hehe, with how protective that family was, what if he was really impulsive and killed his daughter?
General Situ didn't dare to think about it. He cursed himself for being muddle-headed and said," Empress Dowager is right. I was impulsive. I want to see my daughter. Please grant my wish, Empress Dowager."”
"Go ahead." The empress dowager waved her hand, indicating that he could leave. After General Situ and Situ Yaorao left, the banquet continued.
At the same time, Situ Yaorao was sitting in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, silently letting an old imperial physician bandage her wound.
"Although Miss Situ's wound is deep, she's probably lucky that she didn't touch her meridians. It was only a flesh wound. He believed that he would be fine in a few days.”The grey-robed old imperial physician said.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician." Situ Yaorao smiled.”
"Miss Situ, here are some painkillers. You can take them.”The imperial physician said. Situ Yaorao shook her head."No need. This way, I'll be more clear-headed.”He was able to clearly understand where he stood.
Situ Yaorao's rejection stunned the imperial physician. This Miss Situ was delicate and pampered. How could she endure such pain? Besides, who would dare to hurt her?
"Miss Situ, what do you think? Why don't you accept this painkiller? Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself.”The imperial physician said awkwardly. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao smiled and took the painkiller before throwing it out.
"This…"
"There shouldn't be any problems now, right? You gave it to me, and I accepted it, but I threw it away myself. Thank you for bandaging, Imperial Physician." After Situ Yaorao finished speaking, she walked out. However, before he could take two steps, he met General Situ who was coming from the front hall.
Seeing Situ Yaorao, General Situ felt a little awkward. Sometimes, when he saw Hong Lei being bullied, he couldn't help but feel that he had let her down. If he hadn't let Hong Lei's mother down, perhaps Hong Lei would be the person who was now the eldest daughter of the Situ family. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but get angry at Yao Rao.
However, when he calmed down, he would realize that Yao Rao was also his child. He had given Hong Lei too many things that Yao Rao didn't have, and Yao Rao also had things that Hong Lei didn't have.
He did not do a good job as a father because he could not treat his two children equally.
Just now…if it wasn't for Red Tears, he wouldn't have been so angry. Looking at his eldest daughter again, General Situ felt extremely awkward.
However, Situ Yaorao saw his embarrassment and bowed to General Situ.""Thank you, father, for saving my life. If it wasn't for her father holding a knife, her daughter probably wouldn't have had the chance to explain herself. Now, his daughter had probably become a dead soul under the knife.”
Situ Yaorao's words made General Situ even more embarrassed. He was the one who wanted to kill her. However, General Situ, who cared about his face, naturally wouldn't say such words. He coughed and said seriously,""Nothing. You too. Why did you think of giving me a withered grass? Although the empress dowager was very satisfied. "However, people will still talk about it. At that time, everyone will say that our Situ Clan is so poor that we can't even afford a decent gift.”
Hearing this, Situ Yaorao put on an innocent face."Yes, I understand. I won't disappoint you again. Father, please don't be angry." Situ Yaorao apologized sincerely.
"Forget it, seeing that the Empress Dowager is happy today, father will not punish you. The banquet is about to end. Let's go back.”General Situ said indifferently. Situ Yaorao nodded. She was extremely obedient.
If one wanted to please someone, the first thing to do was to catch their weak current. No matter how badly General Situ treated this body, she was still his daughter. He had wronged her just now, so he naturally felt guilty now. If she was a little more obedient, he would be even sadder. And treat her well. Even though she wanted to cut ties with this man more than anything else. But…that cheap mother didn't think so, right?
To her, that man was her everything. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao sighed in her heart.
The banquet soon ended. After the banquet ended, Situ Yaorao and Situ Honglei got into the carriage together, while General Situ rode in front.
In the carriage, Situ Honglei grabbed Situ Yaorao's hand with slightly red eyes.""Sister, it was really dangerous just now. I was worried for you. He didn't know who had replaced his sister's peony with withered grass.”
"How did you know that there were peonies in my flower pot?”Situ Yaorao smiled faintly. When Situ Honglei heard this, her expression froze. Then, she said awkwardly,"I, I saw it by accident.”
"Oh? I remember that my mother hid the peonies very well. How did you accidentally see them?”
Situ Yaorao had an incredulous expression on her face. Hearing this, Situ Honglei couldn't help but exclaim,""Don't tell me you think I changed the peony?”
"What if I say I really think so?”Situ Yaorao looked at Situ Honglei. When Situ Honglei heard this, she said excitedly,"Sister, even if you don't like me, you can't slander me like this. If this matter was spread out, it would be a capital crime. Red Tears didn't do it!"
"Is that so? You know it yourself. There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. This time, I'll let it go. After all, you're still my sister. If something happens to you, I'll be implicated as well. However, my patience is limited. This is the only time. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being heartless.”After Situ Yaorao finished speaking, she closed her eyes and did not look at her.
Hong Lei's expression was twisted as she glared at Situ Yaorao."What right do you have to say that?"
"Because I suspect you." Situ Yaorao closed her eyes and said.
"Suspecting me? What right do you have to doubt me? Do you have evidence?"
Situ Yaorao opened her eyes and said,""There was a period of time when I went out, and the only person who could meet Peony was you. Father wouldn't be so crazy as to use withered grass to harm me, right? Moreover, this is about Peony. I'm afraid even Father doesn't know about it, but you know it so well. Tell me, should I suspect you?"
"I didn't do it!" Red Tears shouted.
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not. What's important is that I treat it as if you did it.”Situ Yaorao turned around. Hong Lei's expression was ugly. "You're not my sister at all!"”
"Hmm? It might really be like this. I'm so kind, how could I have such a vicious sister like you?”Situ Yaorao smiled faintly.
"Situ Yaorao, you!" Hong Lei gritted her teeth.
"What are you arguing about?" Just as Hong Lei was about to argue with Situ Yaorao, General Situ got off his horse. He came over and asked.
"Father, we were just chatting.”Situ Yaorao said with a smile.
"En, you guys can come down. We're here.”General Situ said indifferently. Then, Situ Yaorao walked down first. At this moment, Lady Situ was already waiting in front of General Situ's residence. When he saw Situ Yaorao, he immediately walked over and hugged her in his arms."My Yao Rao, you're finally back. Mother thought something had happened.”
"Mother, my hand hurts. Let go of me.”Situ Yaorao looked at Mrs. Situ with an aggrieved expression. My hand hurts? When Lady Situ heard that, her face darkened. She looked at Situ Yaorao's hand and her expression darkened instantly. She turned to General Situ and said,"What's going on? What did you promise me? If I don't go, let Hong Lei go, and you promise to bring my Allure back safely. What about now?" Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 01PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
