The Eldest Daughter Reborn: She Provoked the Obsessive Crown Prince and Couldn't Escape

Yu Weiyan sighed back then: "Madam, the child is yours, and also mine;

“I am the father of this child. How can I not be heartbroken if I lose my child? But even if I have another daughter next year, she will not be the ‘eldest legitimate daughter’!”

"The Crown Princess's status is second only to the Emperor, Empress and Crown Prince. She is the future Empress!"

"Are you willing to give up this ready-made wealth and power to someone else? Is the Fu family willing to accept it?"

"It just so happens that the female doctor and the midwife were both from the Fu family; no outsiders know that this girl has passed away..."

Despite Madam Fu's strong objections, Yu Weiyan secretly spread the news that "the Lady of Chang'an Marquis has safely given birth to a daughter."

The Emperor and Empress personally visited her, forcing Madam Fu to accept the situation even if she didn't want to!

Yu Weiyan found a baby girl born around the same time among the servants' children to temporarily take their place;

Fortunately, not long after, Madam Fu became pregnant again and gave birth to twins the following year, namely Fu Qing and the current "Fu Luan"!

However, the Marquis of Chang'an's residence only announced to the public that the lady had given birth to her fifth son, Fu Qing...

Having a biological daughter, the Marquis of Chang'an naturally returned the baby girl he had brought to her biological parents, allowing his second daughter to take over the identity of "the eldest daughter of the Fu family".

They only told outsiders that their daughter had a strange illness, was in poor health and couldn't be exposed to the wind, and was not convenient to see people, so for a long time no one had seen the child;

When they saw her again, even though she was slightly smaller than other children her age, they simply attributed it to her previous strange illness...

When Madam Fu gave birth to Fu Luan, she was injured; it was from this time that Yu Weiyan began to use the excuse that "the servants did not serve the madam and daughter well";

One by one, the servants that Madam Fu had brought from her maiden home were transferred away or sold off, and gradually all of them were replaced by her own trusted confidants—

Fu Luan later dismissed Zheng Zheng's confidants, which was nothing more than following suit!

Fu Zhengzheng's mother, Madam Yan, entered the Chang'an Marquis's residence at this time.

She served Yu Weiyan personally, and as she served him, she ended up serving him on his bed!

When Madam Fu was seriously ill and unable to speak, Yu Weiyan was having illicit affairs with Madam Yan in various parts of the Marquis's residence.

When Madam Fu recovered from her illness and discovered the affair between the two, Madam Yan was already heavily pregnant and looked pitiful.

She and Yu Weiyan put on a charade, pretending that she was about to be sold off by the Marquis...

According to the rules of the Great Wei Dynasty, a son-in-law is not allowed to take a concubine;

However, Madam Fu couldn't bear to see Yan, who was only sixteen years old and pregnant with her husband's child, sold off, so she agreed to let her husband, who was marrying into the family, take her as a concubine. Soon after, she gave birth to Fu Zhengzheng...

The matter of the "eldest legitimate daughter" was originally known only to Yu Weiyan and some highly respected elders of the Fu family;

Yu Weiyan favored his concubine over his wife and had no sense of propriety. One day, after drinking too much, he revealed this to Aunt Yan!

Aunt Yan used this matter to force Yu Weiyan to change Zhengzheng's surname to "Fu" to take her stepmother's surname, so that her daughter could benefit from the Fu family's influence in the future...

Lady Fu's momentary soft-heartedness in her past life led to a great disaster;

"Like mother, like daughter," Fu Zhengzheng climbed into her brother-in-law's bed and, taking advantage of her pregnancy, became a third-rank concubine;

Ultimately, she secretly murdered Fu Luan and seized her position as empress, using the same methods as Aunt Yan back then!

Having tasted the power, Fu Zhengzheng ultimately used the power that the Fu family had given her to wipe out the entire Fu family!

This time, Fu Luan will not give her such an opportunity again!

"That's the whole story. I am indeed not the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife; the matter of impersonating the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife and becoming the Crown Princess is up to the Emperor to handle!"

"However... this matter has nothing to do with my brother and the Fu family. I hope Your Majesty will understand..." Although the Emperor exempted Fu Luan from all formalities, she still performed the full kneeling ceremony.

She knew, she always knew...she knew everything!

She knew she had an older sister who died young;

She knew she was not the eldest daughter of the Fu family;

She knew why her mother had asked Fu Yuan to take her away before she died!

The power and wealth of the Crown Princess do not belong to her, nor do the responsibilities and hardships of the Eastern Palace!

In her past life, she sacrificed her entire life and the entire Fu family for this identity that wasn't hers!

The Emperor originally intended to drive Fu Luan into a corner and force her to submit, so that he could easily take this "most beautiful woman in the Great Wei" for himself.

But seeing her so frank and willing to be punished, he was at a loss.

Fu Zhengzheng sneered, "It has nothing to do with the Fu family? Who benefits the most from you becoming the Crown Princess?"

"Now you say it has nothing to do with your Fu family? Who would believe that? Your Majesty, Fu Luan and the Fu family are criminals who have deceived the emperor and their crimes are unforgivable!"

"The truth is that this matter has nothing to do with my father or me. I hope Your Majesty will see the truth!"

Taking advantage of her illness, Fu Zhengzheng tried to act coquettishly towards the Emperor; however, the Emperor did not react to her affected words, and she felt embarrassed.

"Hmph, Miss Fu, don't forget that you are now also surnamed 'Fu' and a member of the Fu family!" Xue Chen reminded her softly.

The sarcasm and disdain on her face couldn't be hidden even by her veil!

"I... this... humph, anyway, this is a matter for the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion, and has nothing to do with your Xue family!" Fu Zhengzheng said disdainfully.

She felt victory was in sight; she exposed the Fu family's crime of deceiving the emperor and their shocking conspiracy in front of the emperor!

She's about to perform an extraordinary feat!

She glanced triumphantly at her elder sister, hoping to see her face contorted in panic, kneeling and begging for mercy...

However, she miscalculated!

Fu Luan held her head high and glanced at Fu Zhengzheng, exuding nobility and pride.

Although the two were kneeling side by side, Fu Luan still maintained a superior posture.

She asked, "Zhengzheng, since you look down on my Fu family and don't want to benefit from it."

"Then how about you change your surname back to your original surname, 'Yu' like your father?"

"You, you!" Fu Zhengzheng was dumbfounded.

To her utter surprise, Fu Luan showed no panic at all, despite the impending disaster, and instead became concerned about her surname!

Zhengzheng forced a smile and said, "My surname was given to me by my father, and it was also approved by my mother! Why should I change it? I won't change it!"

"Fu Luan, your Fu family has committed many sins, so don't even think about dragging me down with you!"

Fu Luan bowed deeply to the Emperor again, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, the horse racing event that day..."

"I won the championship by holding the golden seal of the conference, and used the championship to save His Highness the Prince of Yan who had been wronged and suffered injustice."

“At that time, you pitied me for wasting the good opportunity to make a wish with the chief, and promised that I could use this golden seal to exchange for another wish.”

"I wonder if those words still hold true today?"

She removed the gold seal from her waist; only then did Yu Weiyan realize that she had made a mistake—that was not the princess's gold seal!

He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about his two daughters!

His legitimate daughter secretly attended the horse racing event and the alliance ceremony behind his back, while his illegitimate daughter secretly had affairs with other men and even became pregnant with an illegitimate child!

As the Marquis of Chang'an, he was kept in the dark and knew nothing!

The Emperor's furrowed brows relaxed slightly; he smiled and said, "Of course it counts!"

"So, you intend to use this golden seal to have me pardon your entire Fu clan, is that right?"

Fu Luan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has guessed wrong this time! What I want is... to strip Zhengzheng of her surname, so that she can no longer take my mother's surname 'Fu'!"
