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

Fu Yuan gently pushed her away without making a sound; Tao Su, seeing this, knew that the young master was displeased, and quickly pulled her away as well.

"Big brother, Zhengzheng has been bullied! You must stand up for Zhengzheng!" Fu Zhengzheng said tearfully.

She looked at him with red eyes as she cried, and Fu Yuan's eyes hadn't left Fu Luan since he came in.

If it were understandable that the other brothers, who shared the same mother as Fu Luan, favored her, then why would Fu Yuan, as an adopted son, also prefer Fu Luan?

To him, she and Fu Luan were the same, weren't they?

Fu Yuan glanced at the Yan family's relatives, then frowned at Fu Zhengzheng and said, "You feel wronged? It's fine if others don't know what you did in the Eastern Palace;

"Do you think I, as the eldest brother, don't know anything? You caused your sister to not become the Crown Princess, and you're still complaining?"

"If you don't bully your sister, then fine, but would you let her bully you?"

Fu Zhengzheng bit her lip, trying to suppress her sobs, "Big brother is so biased! My sister is your 'good sister,' but am I not?"

"Don't I want to ride on horseback? I..."

Fu Zhengzheng suddenly didn't want to cry anymore.

She only realized today that even if she cried all her tears, Fu Yuan wouldn't even glance at her.

Because in his eyes there was only Fu Luan, his "good sister," where was there any room for Fu Zhengzheng?

Knowing this, why did she bother to reopen her wounds and show them to him? Even…

The thought that Fu Luan might have been having an affair with Fu Yuan, while she was being treated like a prostitute by Yuan Lu, caused jealousy to spread wildly through Fu Zhengzheng's body, making her feel nauseous and vomit again.

Fu Luan sneered, "Since my sister is not feeling well, why don't you let Fu Ling take a look?"

"So that you won't say behind my back that I'm unwilling to let a top-notch female doctor treat you and instead find a quack to harm you. How about that?"

"Besides... what were you doing at the Right Beiping Prince's Mansion while I was training horses? My 'good sister,' do you dare to say that? And..."

Fu Luan dodged aside, and behind her came a beautiful woman, along with several young men and women who looked like nobles.

The handsome young man who had previously explained the red spider lily to everyone was also by the woman's side.

Everyone else was fine, but Fu Zhengzheng's expression froze for a moment. Reluctantly, she curtsied, "Greetings, Auntie. Zhengzheng greets Aunt Yunzhong..."

Yu Xi said with a cold face and a half-smile, "Oh, Zhengzheng still knows I'm your aunt?"

"On my way here, I heard that some people were disgusted with the house I used to live in, saying that it was where servants lived..."

"Zhengzheng, who said that? Could it be you?"

Fu Zhengzheng trembled like a leaf, "No, no, that's not true... Aunt's room is the best!"

"That house faces south and is the blessed land of the Marquis of Chang'an."

"Zhengzheng is so fortunate to be able to stay in Aunt Yunzhong's house..."

The Yan family had been suppressed by Fu Luan and was already at a disadvantage.

When the Fu brothers arrived, they were filled with unease and did not even dare to greet them, letting Fu Yuan question Fu Zhengzheng and give her a hard time.

Now that Yu Xi has arrived, the Yan family members quickly found an excuse to leave one after another;

When Yan and Wang left, they didn't forget to take a few dusty cloth bags and carry away the exquisite tableware and expensive wines from the banquet.

Not to mention that Fu Zhengzheng has been afraid of this aunt since she was a child;

Even her mother, Aunt Yan, was terrified of Yu Xi, even more so than when she saw the principal wife.

Later, Yu Xi married the Marquis of Yunzhong and became known as "Aunt Yunzhong." She also had the merit of "leading the people of Yunzhong to resist foreign invaders," making her even more unapproachable.

Before attending the banquet today, if there was anyone else in the Yan family who, besides Marquis Yu Weiyan, they feared in the Chang'an Marquis's mansion, it was only Yu Xi.

But they only realized at today's banquet that Fu Luan, who seemed so good-natured, was not so easy to manipulate.

The next generation of the Marquis of Chang'an's family is gradually rising to prominence.

Fu Zhengzheng was already afraid of Yu Xi, and with the Yan family gone, she was even more isolated and helpless, so she had no choice but to take her leave on the grounds of "feeling unwell".

The farce at the family banquet was just coming to an end; on the way back to her bedroom, Hua Luo whispered in Fu Luan's ear:

"The Yan family was invited by the Fourth Young Master; moreover, they were invited in Your Majesty's name!"

Fu Luan immediately frowned. "What?"

Hua Luo said with difficulty, "Fourth Young Master said that your relationship with Second Miss has been strained lately, and doing this can restore the sisters' relationship to its original state."

"Secondly, when you were still in the Eastern Palace, the Second Miss often lamented to the Fourth Young Master;

She said her birth mother had passed away and her father was serving on the frontier. As a concubine's daughter, she had a hard time standing in the Marquis's mansion.

"If she could see her mother's family, it would fulfill her longing for Aunt Yan."

"Thirdly... since we are all born of the same father, Zhengzheng from the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion is also a member, so naturally her relatives should be invited to the family banquet."

"To avoid outsiders saying that we only invited the Fu family and not her Yan family..."

Even though Hua Luo had never been beaten or scolded by Fu Luan, she could only say these words while watching Fu Luan's expression.

Fu Luan sneered, "I thought it was that little bitch who invited it on her own! It turns out it was my twin 'good' brother!"

"Hmph, he dotes on his stepmother's sister so much, what if he dies at her hands without even knowing it!"

Just then, a maidservant announced: "Madam, the Fourth Young Master said that he knows the Yan family caused trouble at the family banquet today;

"He was the one who invited the person, but he failed to resolve the matter in time, causing trouble for my great-aunt. He knew that my great-aunt had been troubled by the mark on her forehead recently;

"I specially ordered someone to find an ancient recipe and made this 'Soothing Cream,' which will surely erase my aunt's peony mark and restore her beauty to its former glory..."

As she spoke, the maid presented a small medicine box with both hands.

As soon as Fu Luan opened it, a strange fragrance wafted out, causing her to frown.

I closed the lid, but the smell felt strangely familiar...

"This is really strange! The Fourth Young Master doesn't usually like women to dress up in fancy clothes;"

"I have a deep aversion to women with strong fragrances, how could this be..." Not to mention Fu Luan, even Hua Luo felt it was very strange.

Fu Ling shook her head and said, "This fragrance is strange; it's not the fragrance of ordinary cosmetics."

"Perhaps the amount of fragrance was increased in order to mask the original smell of the ointment."

"Regardless of who prescribed the medicine, this person was far too impatient..."

"What does this mean?" Hua Luo asked hurriedly.

Fu Ling laughed and said, "This person! She can't wait until the proportions of the spices are carefully adjusted, the aroma is normal, and it can be fully integrated into the ointment before sending it over!"

"She was too eager to ruin my face..."

"Rotten, rotten face?" Hua Luo had just picked up the medicine box, ready to investigate; but upon hearing the words "rotten face," she quickly dropped the medicine box.

The medicine box rolled off the edge of the table and onto the floor. Fu Ling picked it up herself and examined it carefully.

"Yes, it really is a medicine that will ruin your face..."

“If my aunt really uses this medicine, I’m afraid it will remove far more than just this freckle on her forehead!” Fu Ling sighed.

"Hmph, if it's not my 'good sister,' then who could it be?"
