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

"Flower Vine!"

Hua Luo came to deliver the message, but when she saw Fu Luan being pinned down by Fu Yuan, she was at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat.

Only after Fu Luan called her did she muster up her courage and step forward, "Young Master, you..."

Fu Yuan glared at Hua Luo, his eyes bloodshot, but Hua Luo didn't budge an inch.

He reluctantly let go of Fu Luan, as if every time he did this to her, it was never the right time...

"This is the second time. It's happening even in the yard. If you continue like this..."

"I won't dare let you come again!" Fu Luan turned her face away, letting Hua Luo tidy her disheveled clothes and hair.

"If you want me to marry Zhengzheng, I will. But Aluan, you need to know;

"Once I marry her, she will be my wife, and I will always put her first. She will be far above you in my heart."

“I will not listen to you and humiliate or abuse her. Now, do you still want me to marry her?” Fu Yuan said, suppressing his anger.

"This is between the two of you, it has nothing to do with me. However..." Fu Luan straightened her clothes and smiled, pursing her lips:

"She called me a 'bitch,' and my brother hit her. I think my brother knows what I want you to do!"

"Grandma, young master, we servants have been waiting here for a while;"

"Without the masters' orders, we dare not easily open the door to outsiders." The two walked and talked, and when they were still some distance from the gate, a gatekeeper hurriedly ran over to flatter them.

Mixed with his voice were naturally the shouts of Fu Zhengzheng outside the door.

"Father, Father! I was wrong! I will never dare to hurt my sister again!"

"Open the door and let me in, Dad! If you tell me to get married, I'll get married; if you tell me not to get married, I won't get married!"

"Zhengzheng was wrong! Zhengzheng was wrong in everything! Zhengzheng is willing to serve Dad and Sister for the rest of her life!"

"I will never complain about my sister giving me a remote room again!"

"Father, open the door! Father!" Zhengzheng pounded on the gate of the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion desperately;

But why can't I open this door no matter how hard I knock?

She was dressed in a wedding gown and had her hair styled in a married woman's bun; she was clearly a bride!

She knocked from dawn until sunset, and then until the moon rose high in the sky...

But the gates of the Marquis's mansion remained tightly shut to her, just as they had been to Fu Luan in her previous life.

The home that raised her is right in front of her, but she can't seem to go back...

She had no strength left and knelt down in front of the door;

Suddenly, thunder and lightning struck, and the sky over Chang'an seemed to have a hole in it;

Heavy rain poured down, and pedestrians hurried to and fro on the street;

Those who didn't bring umbrellas or straw raincoats would occasionally curse and yell, but who would care that a newlywed was sitting on the street crying?

The rain soaked Zhengzheng from head to toe, making her hair messy and her makeup ruined.

Her face, which was once considered "delicate and pretty," is now a mess.

"Squeak—" Just as Zhengzheng was struggling to get up, the door behind her suddenly opened!

Fu Yuan held up an oil-paper umbrella and stood there, beckoning to Zheng Zheng with his finger.

Zhengzheng looked around, bewildered. "Is Big Brother calling me?"

Fu Yuan smiled and nodded at her, just like when they were children.

Yan Zhengzheng staggered towards her beloved "elder brother," but before she reached him, she fainted...

When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

She was lying in an unfamiliar room, with a maid she didn't recognize beside her.

"Miss Yan is awake? Just call me Xiao Liu'er!" Xiao Liu'er smiled and brought over a cup of tea.

Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response.

She took the teacup, rinsed her mouth, and asked while changing her clothes, "Little...Little Willow, where are the clothes I wore yesterday?"

Little Willow smiled again and said, "Miss, are you referring to the bride's wedding dress? That dress is dirty."

"The Marquis instructed the servants to take it to be washed! If you wish, young lady..."

"No, no! Those clothes are unlucky. I'll either throw them away or give them away. I don't want to wear them!" Zhengzheng quickly waved her hand and asked, "'Lord Marquis' is..."

Just then, someone pushed the door open and entered. Zhengzheng hurriedly buttoned up her clothes, inwardly cursing the person for being so rude and not even knowing to knock.

But she remembered that she was living under someone else's roof and didn't even know where she was;

Adding to the misfortunes she has suffered today, her former arrogance as a rich young lady has long been worn away!

When she saw that the person who came was Fu Yuan, she even slowed down her buttoning.

It seems that this "Lord Marquis" is her former elder brother;

And she was currently in the Yongning Marquis's residence.

"Big brother..." Zhengzheng lowered her head, recalling the events before she fainted yesterday...

Fu Yuan stroked her face and said softly, "Zhengzheng, no one will bully you anymore!"

"You can stay here in peace. If the servants do anything wrong, just tell me."

"Now you can tell me, what exactly has been going on lately?"

Fu Yuan's question caused Zhengzheng's tears to burst forth instantly!

She spoke haltingly, recounting her journey from leaving the Marquis's mansion back to the northern border to the humiliation she suffered at the hands of her own father.

From finding a chance to escape back to Chang'an to being treated as a free maid by her aunt;

From changing her surname to "Yan" to her aunt finding her a husband...

Aside from her experiences as a prostitute along the way, she opened up to Fu Yuan about all her recent experiences without reservation.

"She's not finding me a husband, she's just finding the same kind of family as my father—I mean, that beastly biological father!—"

"They just want to use me to exchange for a betrothal gift!" Zhengzheng cried.

Aunt Yan arranged a marriage for her. The portrait the matchmaker showed her was of a handsome young man, about the same age as her.

The matchmaker smiled and said, "It's just that your family lives in the countryside, so you might be a bit poor and have to do farm work."

"In terms of looks, he's the most handsome young man in the entire surrounding area!"

When Aunt Yan saw Zhengzheng's shy expression, she knew the girl had fallen in love. In front of the matchmaker, she sneered:

"Oh, our young lady dares to complain about others being poor? Don't think of her as the daughter of a noble family!"

"Who doesn't know about the shameful things she's done these days?!"

Zhengzheng felt utterly humiliated by her own aunt, yet she couldn't retaliate.

All she could think about was getting out of the Yan family, this hellhole, no matter what she married!

"But when I entered the bridal chamber, I discovered that my husband was not the person in the portrait at all, but... he was..." Zhengzheng sobbed, unable to utter the rest of her words.

Fu Yuan sat beside her, gently stroking her hair and encouraging her to speak slowly.

Zhengzheng then swallowed her shame and continued speaking.

It turns out that her "husband" was actually Doctor Zheng, who had caused her to lose face in public and was "returned" by the Xue family!

Thinking of all the recent hardships she had endured, all of which were caused by this man, she was filled with rage.

But how could a frail woman compare to a man's strength? Even if this man was over sixty years old...

Moreover, Dr. Zheng knew her weaknesses and sensitive areas very well;

That night, just like before, Zhengzheng's struggles and cries for help gradually turned into gasps and groans...
