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

You said you gave Shu Ronghua the ointment so that she would recommend you to be a concubine;

"So you were preparing to enter the palace as an empress while simultaneously agreeing to my marriage proposal;"

"So you want to wait and see, and make two preparations, is that it?" Xue Yan's handsome face darkened, and he questioned the woman he once liked in a hoarse voice.

"I...I...Brother Yan, I did think that way before, but...ever since you said those things to me..."

"That day you said you were also born out of wedlock, and encouraged me not to give up on myself or be affected by rumors;

“I…I just…” Yu Zhengzheng readily admitted to the fact that she had once strung Xue Yan along.

She paused, then continued tearfully, "From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been this kind to me except my mother."

"Everyone in the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion is sycophantic and looks down on me because I am born out of wedlock, but only you, Brother Yan, are different."

"I truly wanted to grow old with you! Otherwise, why would I..."

Zhengzheng's face turned bright red as she tried her best to defend herself.

gossip……

Something seemed to have stirred Xue Yan's heartstrings.

"It's not a rumor, is it?" Xue Yan asked in a deep voice.

Yu Zhengzheng was stunned. "W-what?"

I was talking about the scandalous things that were circulating about you;

"They say you seduced your brother-in-law, causing your sister to divorce... These aren't just rumors, they're facts. Right?" Xue Yan closed his eyes slightly.

He didn't even know what he was expecting.

If she denies it, will he believe her? But if she admits it...

"No, no! It's Fu Luan who slandered me! It's all that bitch spreading rumors!" Zheng Zheng still retained a sliver of clarity; how could she possibly admit to such a thing?

While planning to enter the palace, she also agreed to the Xue family's marriage proposal. This could still be considered the plan of a noble lady.

There are far too many aristocrats who form marriage alliances to climb the social ladder, and even break off engagements; nobody cares.

Even if it gets out in the future, people will just laugh it off and treat it as just more fodder for conversation.

Once a new topic of conversation emerges, the old lunchbox is immediately forgotten.

Therefore, only the Xue family would care about Zhengzheng keeping Xue Yan hanging.

But the matters concerning the Eastern Palace and the Right Beiping Prince's Mansion, as well as her affair with Doctor Zheng today, are things she absolutely cannot admit to! If she does, she'll never be able to recover for the rest of her life!

Yu Zhengzheng raised her eyes.

Seeing that Xue Yan was unmoved, she held onto the edge of the table with one hand and clutched her stomach with the other, seemingly unable to even do the simplest thing like "sit down".

"Taosu, Taosu...you brat, where are you? I wonder where you've gone to be lazy and lying around again!" She called out to Taosu, but there was no sign of her.

Even with Xue Yan right beside her, she didn't forget to hurl insults at her personal maid...

She had no idea that after Tao Su testified against her in the front hall, she had already been sent by Fu Luan to the Prince of Yan's residence to avoid trouble and for protection.

I'll never have to listen to her orders or watch my mood again!

Large beads of sweat rolled down her face; Yu Zhengzheng looked disheveled and ugly, and other men might look at her with disgust.

But Xue Yan was not the kind of person who put "beauty" first; seeing her like this, he finally sighed and helped her sit down.

With that support, he realized that his feelings for Yu Zhengzheng had not been severed; even if he denied it a thousand times in his heart, it was all in vain.

Yu Zhengzheng was already well-versed in men's company; how could she not know his thoughts? She moved her lips and murmured:

"Brother Yan, the imperial physician just took my pulse and said I had a miscarriage."

"I may never be able to conceive again... and I may also suffer from many health problems!"

"Brother Yan, do you think I still have a chance to be a good mother?"

The implication in her words couldn't be clearer: the kick that made her unable to be a mother again was from Xue Yan...

She was confident that as long as she casually mentioned this matter repeatedly in front of Xue Yan, she would definitely be able to arouse a sense of guilt in such a rigid person as Xue Yan!

It was impossible for her to marry into a noble family again, so she might as well cling to Xue Yan as her lifeline!

Moreover, now that Xue Chen has entered the palace, Xue Yan can be considered a member of the imperial family!

Sure enough, Xue Yan frowned and moved his lips, "I'm sorry..."

On the day of their engagement, the fiancée, a daughter of a marquis, publicly opened her clothes and engaged in sexual intercourse with an older man.

The daughter's private parts, which shouldn't be exposed, were seen by both acquaintances and strangers!

She claimed to be a virgin in front of him, but it was proven that she had been having an affair with her brother-in-law, and a thief had even stolen erotic films and obscene items from her bedroom...

The guests were laughing at Zhengzheng, but it was he and the Xue family who were losing face! How could he not be angry?

He never imagined that that kick would have such serious consequences! Under all this stimulation, the fact that Zhengzheng was pregnant with an illegitimate child was relegated to the sidelines...

He hadn't even had time to think about whose child Zhengzheng was; and Zhengzheng herself probably didn't even know the answer to that question!

"Zhengzheng, my sister entered the palace today. The Emperor has mediated the matter between our two families, so it's over."

“I can overlook your past and persuade my father to let you get married after you recover. But you…” Xue Yan wiped Zhengzheng’s sweat with heartache.

"I...I...Brother Yan, I was really framed today! You have to believe me!"

"To put it bluntly, although my figure, looks, and background are not as good as that slut's;

"But if you want to find someone to do that kind of shameful thing, what kind of young and talented man can't you find? Why do you have to find an old, ugly and fat man?"

"If it were a girl from your Xue family who encountered something like this today..."

"Brother Yan, tell me, would you also immediately conclude that they are sluts and whores?"

When Xue Yan heard Yu Zhengzheng use her sisters as a metaphor and call them "promiscuous women," a slight displeasure swept over him.

But when he saw that Zhengzheng was very weak, he remembered that Zhengzheng had gotten out of bed to find the ointment to prove that she was also using the ointment;

He suppressed his displeasure for the time being and helped Zhengzheng to bed, wanting her to rest for a while, but Zhengzheng clearly misunderstood...

She pulled Xue Yan to sit on the edge of the bed, and when he wasn't looking, she leaned in and kissed him...

Although Xue Yan was only eighteen years old and full of vigor;

However, he is old-fashioned and only thinks about his wedding night and having physical intimacy with his lawfully wedded wife, so he doesn't even have a maidservant to share his room with.

He returned all the concubines that others sent him for various reasons, untouched!

Going to Zhengzheng's room alone today was already an overstepping of boundaries for him; if he were to be with her on her bed as well...

He had never been tempted like this before. Suddenly, he felt a surge of blood rushing through his body.

Just as he was trying to clear his head, Zhengzheng suddenly stuck her pink tongue in, took his hand with hers, and guided him to her breasts.

Her other hand boldly slipped inside his clothes, just as she had done when she seduced Yuan Lu that day…
