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

Those who attended the banquet said that the Prince of Yan looked pale and depressed at the engagement banquet;

It didn't feel like my engagement day; it felt like my wife of many years had run off with another man!

Fu Jin, on the other hand, was overjoyed; she even moved into the Prince of Yan's residence on the very night the engagement banquet ended, acting as if she were the "Mistress of the Prince of Yan's Residence" or even the "Queen of the Prince of Yan"!

Within three days of entering the Prince of Yan's residence, she expelled all the concubines except Anagui, including those who held the title of concubine!

"Everyone outside says that our eldest daughter is outrageous and barbaric, just like Yan Zhengzheng who was kicked out."

"And you said..." Hua Luo said indignantly, but when Fu Luan didn't respond, she shut her mouth.

Fu Luan smiled and said, "Why did you stop talking? They also said that Fu Jin, raised in the countryside, has no manners, is that right?"

Hua Luo blushed and nodded.

"When I went to the Prince of Yan's mansion that time, a maid said that their mansion needed to be disciplined; and here we are, the person who can discipline them has arrived."

"It's someone else's business anyway, why should we meddle? If the Prince of Yan is unwilling, she can't do anything!" Fu Luan murmured, gazing at the "One Rank, Nine Splendors" hairpin.

Yes... Now, for Xiao Jiu, "Fu Jin" is equivalent to the position of Crown Prince. Who would oppose the position of Crown Prince?

Hua Luo sighed, "Grandma, is it really... impossible for you and His Highness Prince Yan?"

Fu Luan laughed and said, "What, you've taken a fancy to him? How about I talk to Fu Jin and ask you to keep her company, and maybe I can get you a position like a 'concubine' or 'illegitimate concubine'?"

Hua Luo waved her hand and shook her head, "This servant is not fortunate enough! This servant just feels it's not worth it for you, my lady!"

"You did so much for the Prince of Yan! In just about a month, you went from someone who couldn't even get on or off a horse to the champion of the horse racing competition;

"To learn how to ride a horse, he endured countless hardships and injuries, all in order to save the Prince of Yan from his prison!"

"In order to win over his favorite concubine to rely on, she even had her face scratched by Shu Ronghua; not only that, in order to clear his name, she also spent a lot of money to find the Eighth Prince."

"Just because Ah Song met the Eighth Prince who could be a witness, you're going to support his whole family for the rest of your life!"

"All of this, you have done so much for the Prince of Yan, yet he has a child with his concubine; you were engaged to him before, but he never held an engagement banquet for you."

"Now that everything has settled down, the eldest daughter has arrived. She clearly did nothing for the Prince of Yan."

"Yet you're immediately engaged to His Highness the Prince of Yan, with a three-day, three-night engagement banquet! My lady, this servant feels it's so unfair to you!"

Fu Luan stared blankly at Hua Luo. She hadn't expected that the only one who could sense her feelings was Hua Luo...

"Hua Luo, you..."

Before Fu Luan could finish speaking, an old woman announced cheerfully, "Oh my, madam, there have been one happy event after another in our household lately!"

"The young master's concubine is pregnant! I heard he's going to formally marry her!"

Hua Luo asked in confusion, "The young master wants to marry... a concubine?"

"Yes! That's why the young master knows how to cherish people! If it were someone else, they would probably take a concubine;

"Our young master alone said that he only has this one woman, and if he doesn't love her, who will he love? He'd rather risk losing his position as Marquis of Yongning and General Zuo."

"He's going to marry her too, to make her the wife of the head of the Fu family!" The old woman praised Fu Yuan highly, as if it were her own son who was about to get married.

"But...but..." Hua Luo looked at the old woman and then at Fu Luan, stammering anxiously.

Fu Luan took a sip of hot tea and smiled, "I suppose my father... is very happy?"

The old woman's overjoyed expression froze instantly. "The Marquis... he..."

"Hua Luo!" Seeing the old woman's reaction, Fu Luan knew pretty much what was going on.

She had Hua Luo give the old woman a reward, then went to find her father; sure enough, Yu Weiyan was furious!

"You unfilial sons, you wretched children! You're all wretched children! The younger one wants to marry a maid, and the older one wants to marry a maid too! My Chang'an Marquis's mansion is full of maids!"

"These wretches have completely disgraced us!" Yu Weiyan smashed the teacup to pieces!

Fu Luan walked in with a smile, "Father is going to be a grandfather, why are you still so angry?"

When Yu Weiyan saw Fu Luan, he was even more furious; he picked up a paperweight and was about to throw it at her, but the chief clerk stopped him.

"My lord, if you smash this paperweight over there, my lady will be dead! Besides, she has just been promoted to the rank of First-Rank Lady of Qi, you mustn't hit her!" the chief clerk advised.

"Hmph! It's all because you spoiled her!" Knowing she was in the wrong, Yu Weiyan threw the paperweight hard on the ground and kicked it.

Fu Luan looked at her father with a cold smile; the angrier he got, the happier she became!

"Fourth Brother wants to marry Liuyun, and Eldest Brother wants to marry Cuiyun. What wonderful marriages! Why is Father angry? If you think marrying a maid is shameful, then what about Aunt Yan back then..."

"Isn't she a maid? The things she did are things that ordinary maids wouldn't do!" Fu Luan said humbly, but her words were laced with sarcasm.

"You, you... it's all your fault, you little slut! You gave up being the Crown Princess and got divorced; now that you've gone back to your family, you've caused so much trouble!"

"You've completely disgraced the Chang'an Marquis's mansion! Back then, you said Zhengzheng didn't have the surname Yu and wanted to kick her out. You don't have the surname Yu either, so how dare you stay in my Chang'an Marquis's mansion?"

"You, you... I'm telling you, you either move out now, or I don't care about you. Anyway, you have that damn imperial title, you won't starve!"

"Either hurry up and find a prince or nobleman to marry her off, so she won't stay at her parents' house, eating and living there for free every day, wasting the money of my Chang'an Marquis's mansion!" Yu Weiyan spat out.

When he saw Fu Luan, he thought of his wife and mother-in-law, and then he remembered his past of enduring the humiliation of marrying into the family and kneeling in the street for seven days and seven nights!

When Aunt Yan suggested poisoning the madam and seizing her dowry, he said it was "nonsense," but when Aunt Yan actually did it, he was clearly watching from the sidelines...

He thought that with his wife dead, he could finally escape the label of "son-in-law" and become a marquis of the Great Wei in a dignified manner.

However, Fu Luan's existence was like the haunting spirit of his wife, constantly reminding him that as long as the Fu family was still around, he would always be just a "son-in-law" who rose to power by living off his wife!

Fu Luan sneered, "Father, don't worry, I won't be eating at the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion for many more days!"

The father and daughter parted on bad terms. That same night, a dark figure quietly slipped into Fu Luan's boudoir…

"Would a ruler of a nation sneak into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night?" Fu Luan lay on her side on the bed, not getting up.

The Emperor laughed and said, "You have your back to me, yet you know who's coming!"

"Everyone has a scent, and the Emperor's scent is... the fragrance of Sumanahua."

The flickering candlelight on the table illuminated Fu Luan's graceful curves; even the emperor, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful women since childhood, was stunned by her beauty...
