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

Fu Luan smiled faintly and gave a slight bow, pretending not to notice the sarcasm in her words.

"Hmph, look what you've done while I was away!"

"Tell me, whose child is your sister's?" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her words and actions, Yu Weiyan coldly led her to the front hall.

Fu Luan shook his fan and smiled, "That's quite a strange statement!"

"Why is your father asking about Zhengzheng's child instead of her? Anyway, I'm incapable of getting her pregnant!"

"You!" Yu Weiyan raised his hand to hit her again, but he looked around, afraid that someone else might rush out.

He finally said patiently, "If she were willing to tell me, would I need to ask you?"

Fu Luan's words struck a chord with Yu Weiyan.

He had just come out of Zhengzheng's courtyard, but he was unable to see his beloved daughter because the servants said, "The young lady does not want to see the Marquis!"

He was naturally full of suspicion, because he had just seen the Yan family members coming out of the courtyard when he arrived!

Why is it that your daughter can see the Yan family, but doesn't want to see her own father?

Or... did the Yan family say something to her that made her refuse to meet with them?

But Zhengzheng had suffered misfortune for days, and he still felt sorry for her.

Besides, it wouldn't be appropriate for a grown man like himself to barge into his daughter's room, so he didn't go in.

If it were Fu Luan who refused to see him, he would have already punished him with family discipline!

Fu Luan was unlucky; just as her father was thinking this, he saw her.

Fu Luan said with a half-smile, "Since she had an affair with Doctor Zheng, the child is naturally Doctor Zheng's!"

Yu Weiyan snorted: "That dog... that day the man in the east wing kept saying that the child couldn't possibly be his."

When asked why, he only said that he discovered Zhengzheng was nearly three months pregnant after she visited him a few times.

"Judging by the dates, Zhengzheng didn't even know him when she got pregnant! He didn't change his story even after being severely tortured, so it must be true!"

Dr. Zheng wasn't lying. Although no one knows who the father of Zhengzheng's child is now, it's definitely not him!

At that time, Zhengzheng was either in the Eastern Palace or in Youbeiping Prefecture; as for the child's father...

In her past life, Zhengzheng was involved with different men at the same time;

After becoming pregnant, she attributed the child to her brother-in-law, Yuanlu, and happily became a third-rank concubine thanks to the child.

However, this pregnancy in her previous life also ended in a miscarriage. Zhengzheng used this child to frame her.

Fortunately, Yuan Lu had a "wise man" behind him who knew that if Fu Luan were deposed, his own position as crown prince would also be in jeopardy, so he pretended nothing had happened.

The child died in vain. Zhengzheng did not realize that she was heartless, but instead blamed Fuluan for it!

This time, since she worked as a courtesan in Yuanlu's mansion, and countless servants had enjoyed her body, it's really hard to say whose child it is!

Fu Luan discovered that Zheng Zheng was pregnant earlier than Doctor Zheng.

Under Fu Ling's guidance, she instructed Tao Su to give Zheng Zheng the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine as a tonic every day.

As for Dr. Zheng, although no one gave him any advice, he was afraid that Zhengzheng would blame him for the child, so he kept quiet about the matter and didn't even tell Zhengzheng.

Even when the two were making love, the thought of Zhengzheng carrying a bastard child would send an uncontrollable surge of excitement through their bodies!

Fu Luan pointed out, "Father, you're so foolish! You believed him when he said it wasn't his child?"

"What is Zhengzheng's identity? What is our family's identity? And what is Doctor Zheng's identity?"

"Having an affair with the daughter of a marquis is one thing, but getting her pregnant is another. How dare he admit it?"

"We didn't plan to report it to the authorities out of consideration for our reputation, but he didn't know about it!"

“He’s afraid we’ll report him to the authorities, so naturally he’ll try to distance himself completely from the child; even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t dare admit it!”

Yu Weiyan stared at her daughter's face and said coldly, "You are so eager to have Zhengzheng's child placed in Doctor Zheng's body. What are you really thinking, as her older sister?"

"Tell me! Are you still entangled with the Marquis of Changyi, so you're protecting him and pushing Zhengzheng's child onto another man?"

Fu Luan sneered, "I'm already divorced, why would I protect him?"

"It just so happens that the Emperor has summoned the Marquis of Changyi to Chang'an, and he will arrive soon. Since Father is suspicious, why not ask him in person then? However..."

"Just what?" Yu Weiyan whispered.

Fu Luan shook her fan again, "But that child turned into a pool of blood at Xue Yan's feet. What will you use to question him?"

"You must understand, although he has been deposed, he is still the emperor's own son and the Marquis of Changyi of the Great Wei. I'm afraid Father can't question him!"

"You... Hmph! You'd better watch yourself! Don't think that just because you've climbed the social ladder, you've forgotten who you are!" Yu Weiyan sneered.

“I take my mother’s surname, ‘Fu’, how could I forget? How could I dare to forget?”

"Since Father has brought this matter to my question, there's one thing I must ask Father in return—"

"How did my mother die?!" Fu Luan asked solemnly.

"You, you...why are you suddenly asking this?" Yu Weiyan was shocked and her expression turned serious upon hearing this!

Fu Luan already knew the truth of this matter in his previous life.

She's just asking a question now, hoping to give herself a glimmer of hope and also to give her father a chance!

He made her impersonate the eldest daughter of the Fu family from a young age, committing the crime of "deceiving the emperor," and she endured it;

He used her mother's dowry to bribe Aunt Yan, and she tolerated it;

In order to secure his position as the "Imperial Brother-in-Law," he emptied out all the property that should have been left to her and her brothers and gave it all to that good-for-nothing Yuan Lu, which she tolerated.

He tolerated his favorite Zhengzheng's plot against her, abandoned her when she was in trouble, and even encouraged Zhengzheng to kill her and "take her place," and she endured it all...

The only thing she couldn't let go of, even after two lifetimes, was the murder of her mother!

Fu Luan pressed further, "What, Father, are you afraid I'll ask?"

“I am your father, why would I be afraid of you? Your mother died of illness, as everyone knows. What is the point of asking again now?” Yu Weiyan sighed, avoiding his daughter’s gaze.

Fu Luan bit her lip and stared intently at her father.

He's always been like this; once he feels guilty, he doesn't dare to make eye contact with people.

For example, when Madam Fu discovered his affair with Concubine Yan, who was still a maid at the time...

Although he has not admitted to favoring his concubine over his wife and condoning Aunt Yan's poisoning of his first wife, his actions and expressions have already betrayed him!

Yu Weiyan felt uneasy under Fu Luan's gaze, and the imposing manner she had displayed earlier, when she questioned him or even threatened to hit him, was completely gone.

He only left behind the instruction "Take care of yourself" before hurriedly departing.

In this confrontation between father and daughter, Fu Luan had the upper hand. However, the memory of her mother's death lingered in her mind, leaving her with no joy whatsoever.

"Prepare the sedan chair, we're going to the Prince of Yan's residence!" Fu Luan ordered.

When Hua Luo heard that her aunt had taken the initiative to go to the Prince of Yan's residence, she thought her aunt had finally come to her senses and hurriedly gave orders in a flurry; but...

"Hmph, what is that Lady Langya? She hasn't even married into the family yet and she's already sending a woman to spy on us!"

As soon as she entered the Prince of Yan's residence, she heard a group of women chattering, clearly talking about her...
