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

Fu Ze smiled wryly, "My eldest brother can teach you to ride a horse, and my second brother can teach you to shoot arrows..."

"Third brother can accompany you to travel all over the Three Rivers and Five Sacred Mountains, and even to various places in the Great Wei."

"Fifth brother can teach you to read and write... but me, I'm the sickly one who was born on the same day as you..."

"I can only stand aside and quietly watch you, preach to you, and give you nothing..."

You don't like me...you hate me...

"But Zhengzheng is different...she's really different from you..."

Fu Ze's cough temporarily subsided after taking the medicine, but his mental illness worsened.

"Yes! Zhengzheng is indeed different from me. She always knows how to play the victim and gain sympathy in front of you men!"

"Making you feel needed and useful. Right or wrong?"

"I hate you? I'm your twin sister, how could I hate you? And what about you?"

"I don't believe you know anything about what Zhengzheng did to me!"

“But you knew she was harming me, yet you still…” Boundless bitterness spread through Fu Luan’s heart.

Fu Luan hates Fu Ze? Anyone can say or think that way, but not Fu Ze!

If she disliked Fu Ze, why would she have squandered her entire fortune in her past life just to buy him a medicinal ingredient?

If she hated Fu Ze, why would she have agreed to Yuan Lu's shameless demands in her past life in order to extend his life?

If she hated Fu Ze, how could she have fallen for that despicable couple's tricks in her past life and lost all her chances to escape?

But Fu Luan could only keep the events of her past life buried in her heart.

Faced with her brother, who should have been closer to her, she could only shed two lines of tears.

"Ah Luan, don't cry, it's your brother's fault..."

"I will never do anything against your wishes again." Fu Ze hugged his sister tenderly, just like when they were children.

Although Fu Ze was the same age as Fu Luan, he was more mature than his three older brothers in his conduct and dealings with others since childhood.

In his eyes, his two younger sisters—the twin Fu Luan and the stepmother Fu Zhengzheng—were no different; he liked and loved them both.

In recent years, however, his health has deteriorated, and he rarely leaves the house. He spends more time with Fu Zhengzheng than with Fu Luan.

In addition, his other brothers doted on Fu Luan to an extreme degree, so he was somewhat more inclined to favor the seemingly more delicate Fu Zhengzheng.

He was not unaware that Fu Zhengzheng was a vicious snake and had been secretly harming Fu Luan since childhood;

But whenever Zhengzheng looked at him helplessly with her red, swollen eyes, and called him "Fourth Brother" in a sweet voice;

If he were to casually mention his deceased mother, his status as an illegitimate child, or his impoverished relatives, even Fu Ze, with a heart of iron, would soften.

However, seeing Fu Luan's tears fall, Fu Ze finally realized his mistake and pulled his twin sister into his arms.

As a patient, his embrace may not have been very strong, but it still made Fu Luan feel warm.

She knew that Fu Ze was ultimately on the side of the twin sister, and besides, Fu Zhengzheng was ruthless...

The fourth brother, who was closer to him than the other brothers, was back.

But she also knew that this alone wouldn't work; she hadn't forgotten her purpose in coming to find Fu Ze.

If this matter ends lightly amidst the touching scene of twins united in heart and deep sibling affection, Fu Ze probably won't learn his lesson.

Fu Luan could almost see Fu Zhengzheng crying and acting coquettishly towards Fu Ze in a few days, and Fu Ze softening his heart!

Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears, took out a face cream from her sleeve, and smiled as if she knew nothing about it:

“I knew my fourth brother loved me the most! He scolded me, but he still secretly sent someone to deliver this ointment that can remove the marks on my face…”

"What ointment? I didn't send you anything..." Fu Ze frowned.

Even before the lid was opened, you could already smell the subtle fragrance of the soothing cream.

Even this slight fragrance was enough to disgust Fu Ze.

Hua Luo cleverly said, "But this soothing cream was indeed sent by A Chuan from the Fourth Young Master's room."

"Our great-aunt didn't like things with overly strong fragrances either;

"It's because this soothing cream was a gift from the fourth young master that the aunt is overjoyed..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ze frowned even more deeply. "But this thing was indeed made by me..."

"Ah Luan doesn't like things that smell too strong, so I like them even less, cough cough..."

Whether it was because the medicine had worn off or because he was choked by the smell of the soothing cream, Fu Ze started coughing again.

Fu Luan changed her previous indifferent attitude, quickly patted her brother's back, and then personally closed the window.

Fu Ling opened the medicine box in front of Fu Ze, examined it again, and then smiled, "Fourth Young Master will probably call that A Chuan in for questioning..."

"How so?" Fu Ze asked softly.

“This Shu Yan Gao is…” Fu Ling then recounted the examination results and the “bad face” incident.

"How dare you! Liuyun, call Achuan in! Just tell him I have something to reward him!"

"If you dare utter even a single word, don't come back to this room!" Fu Ze roared.

He had just reconciled with Fu Luan when he heard that someone wanted to harm his precious younger sister.

Even the most lenient ruler, Fu Ze, can get angry.

Ah Chuan really thought he was going to receive a reward, and came over happily;

But as soon as he knelt down to pay his respects, Fu Ze threw the soothing cream at his feet.

"Master... what does this mean? I... I'm too ignorant to understand..." Ah Chuan saw the familiar box and understood immediately, but he just put on a brave face.

Fu Luan sneered, "This is the 'good stuff' your master wants to reward you with. Hurry up and kowtow to express your gratitude!"

"What, do you think this is something for girls and doesn't meet the standards of a grown man like you?"

"Flower Vine!"

Hua Luo had already put on her protective clothing; at Fu Luan's command, she used a silver spatula to pick up some face cream and was about to apply it to A Chuan's face...

"Hey, no! I'll talk, I'll talk!" Seeing that the ointment that would ruin his face was about to be applied to his face, A-Chuan didn't care about the etiquette between master and servant and suddenly fell to the ground.

"You dog of a servant, speak now!" Fu Ze shouted, throwing the teapot at him.

"Yes, it was the second young lady who gave me money to pretend to be the fourth young master;"

"Take this damn ointment to my aunt..." A-Chuan was scalded by the tea and, without even crying out in pain, blurted out what had happened.

Fu Zhengzheng embarrassed herself at the family banquet, and she already harbored resentment towards Fu Luan;

Only then did they send out the Soothing Cream, which was originally prepared to be given after Fu Luan's second marriage to the Crown Prince, in Fu Ze's name ahead of time.

She thought her plan to sow discord was sure to succeed, and sat alone in the house, enjoying this joy that no one else knew about.

What she didn't know was that not only had her wicked scheme been seen through from the start;

The relationship between the twin siblings Fu Ze and Fu Luan actually improved because of her instigation;

Meanwhile, Fu Zhengzheng was happily waiting for the day when Fu Luan's face would be ruined, which would arrive in twenty days.

Twenty-one days later, August 27th, was indeed very important to Fu Luan—but not because of his bad face;

Rather, it was because that was the very day the Xianbei envoys came to Chang'an to form an alliance with the Great Wei!

And the person in charge of this matter in my past life was...
