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

The stable boy was terrified when he saw the needle. "W-what Baihui acupoint..."

"Baihui acupoint...it's right on the top of your head!" Fu Ling patted the stable boy's head. With each pat, the stable boy trembled.

"This needle is so thick, if it sticks in, will I even survive..." The stable boy was on the verge of tears.

If I had known I was going to suffer this much, I would have made that person raise the price no matter what...

"Since you know you're going to die, why don't you tell the truth? Speak! Who ordered you to harm me?" Fu Luan said sternly.

"It's the Second Miss! Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, he wouldn't be able to... Oh, wait!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay? It's... it's Miss Cousin..."

By the moonlight, the stable boy saw from his shadow on the ground that Fu Ling was quietly raising a golden needle behind him, intending to stab it into the top of his head...

Hearing that the stable boy was about to confess, Fu Ling stopped just as the golden needle was about to pierce his head.

Seeing that he was trembling and there was a puddle of water where he was kneeling, Fu Luan knew that he had wet himself in fear.

“Cousin? My family has more than a dozen cousins; which one is hiding behind you and trying to kill me? Tell me now!” Fu Luan’s eyebrows furrowed and her phoenix eyes widened.

"It's...it's the eldest daughter of the Hua family..." the servant whispered, his eyes still glancing at Fu Luan's face. As he looked, he even swallowed hard.

This is the most beautiful woman in the Great Wei... She's sitting right in front of me, and I even managed to grab her legs in the chaos just now...

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman; even when she's angry, she's beautiful.

If my wife were even a tenth as beautiful as her, I'd be laughing in my sleep...

"The eldest daughter of the Hua family," whose real name is Hua Miaoyan, is the cousin who grew up with Fu Che and was later jilted for slandering Fu Luan.

Her mother was Yu Weiyan's eldest sister and another aunt of the Fu siblings.

When this aunt married into the Hua family, Yu Weiyan had not yet made his fortune through marrying into the family, so her marriage was of average quality and she died young.

"So it was her... Why didn't you say so earlier? Why suffer like this... Weren't you terrified when you were harming people?" Fu Luan sneered.

"This servant was wrong, this servant dares not do it again! This servant was blinded by greed and bewitched..." The stable boy kept kowtowing, while Fu Luan watched coldly and then laughed:

"You're not just bewitched, are you? Your lover serves the eldest daughter of the Hua family, and I bet you've been eager to take on those dirty jobs, haven't you?"

"Ah?" When the stable boy saw that Fu Luan even knew such private matters, he knew that his secrets had long been thoroughly discovered by his masters.

He then poured out everything he had done for Hua Miaoyan, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"That's all I've done, nothing more. Please rest assured, my aunt, I will never again make false accusations against the second young lady."

"From now on, if anyone asks me outside, I will tell them the truth: it is the eldest daughter of the Hua family..." The stable boy kept kowtowing to Fu Luan.

He dared not let his heart wander towards Fu Luan again, and the stain on the ground grew larger...

Fu Luan sneered again: "No, quite the opposite! I want you to treat this as gossip fodder."

"You have to spread this word among the servants, insisting that it was the second young lady who instructed you to do it."

"If you want to live, don't say anything, don't ask anything, go back to the manger, change into clean clothes, and continue your work."

"If Hua Miaoyan ever asks you to do anything again, remember to report to me! Otherwise..."

Fu Luan took Fu Ling's golden needles and waved them in front of the stable boy, "Don't forget, you didn't succeed in this."

"Batu and I came back alive from the horse racing event, and we're doing great! Who can protect you, and who will harm you?"

"You're a smart man, you must know the answer... Get out!"

The stable boy was completely bewildered, but in order to escape and save his life, he agreed to everything Fu Luan said.

Upon hearing Fu Luan tell him to get lost, he stopped kowtowing and forgot all manners, and scrambled away.

He stumbled a few times on the way, constantly groaning "Ouch!" which made people laugh.

When Hua Luo saw the stain left by the stable boy, she quickly covered her mouth and nose, looking disgusted.

She let Fu Luan go first, then called over a few old women to clean up, saying it was urine from a stray cat in the manor.

The next day, instead of going after Fu Zhengzheng to cause trouble, Fu Luan first went to find peach cakes.

Tao Su came over the day before when the horse slave was being interrogated, partly because interrogating the thief in the house was the priority at that time;

Secondly, there were too many people around at the time, and Fu Yuan was also there;

What Taosu wanted to talk to her about was definitely something that couldn't be said publicly in front of others.

"You came to see me in such a hurry yesterday, did your second daughter cause trouble again?" Fu Luan asked with a smile.

Tao Su looked around and whispered, "I serve her day and night, and she doesn't even hide from me when she changes her clothes or takes a bath."

"Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any reservations about me. But recently, I've noticed that whenever I enter her bedroom..."

"She hurriedly put something away. Later, when she wasn't looking, the maid found these things in her room..."

"Such filth may offend the eyes of my aunt and sisters..."

Hua Luo and Fu Ling looked at each other and smiled, roughly knowing what kind of thing it was.

Fu Luan pursed her lips and said, "As for me, I am a married woman; your sister Hua Luo serves by the side of a married woman like me, so it is inevitable that she will know some things."

"Physician Fu has even less to hide. If she were to be so, how could she practice medicine? You can speak freely!"

Tao Su then took out a small bundle, and while untying it, said:

"She hid all this filth under the mattress at the head of the bed, thinking that no one would find out!"

Fu Luan glanced at her and laughed, "She's quite good at 'comforting' herself in private..."

"She's the only one who, after being beaten and bruised all over in the East Palace and Yuan Lu's residence, still has the mind to think about this kind of thing."

"I just wonder where she got all these things?"

It turned out that they were several storybooks containing erotic illustrations, with vulgar language and obscene words. No wonder Taosu kept calling her "filth."

Let alone a noble lady like Fu Zhengzheng, even a girl from an ordinary family would probably be beaten half to death by her parents if she secretly looked at these things.

Fu Luan and Fu Ling were alright upon seeing these storybooks; however, Hua Luo blushed and turned her head away in embarrassment.

Seeing that Fu Luan had personally inspected them, Tao Su put them back into her bundle, saying, "Who knows?"

“The servants watched over her day and night, but she never went out; apart from the fourth young master, no one came to visit her.”

“But every time the Fourth Young Master came, our people stopped him outside, saying that she was still sick and the Fourth Young Master was also sick, so we couldn’t let her pass on her illness to him.”

Fu Luan laughed and said, "No matter how much Fourth Brother dotes on her, he would never bring her something like this..."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master has never brought her anything. He just glances at her outside and leaves." Tao Su quickly added, seemingly worried that her words might implicate Fu Ze.
