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

"It means that even if someone else becomes the crown prince, I, Fu Luan, will still be the crown princess."

"All of you can also rely on your status as 'Fu clan members' to live peacefully as court ladies and enjoy the court's salary."

"I only hope that all of you relatives can be a support for the Fu family in Chang'an, and a support for me, Fu Luan."

“Otherwise, even if I become the Crown Princess, I probably won’t live long if I rely on myself alone.” Fu Luan said meaningfully.

Some of these relatives are snobbish, but they are not bad people;

If they can be won over and united with the Fu family of Chang'an, they would be a considerable force.

In her past life, she focused all her attention on Yuan Lu and neglected them.

Ultimately, he found himself fighting alone and surrounded by enemies, leading to the disintegration of the Fu clan and the loss of more than 700 clan members in a single day.

In this life, I must never repeat the same mistakes!

"That's good……"

“Look at what A-Luan is saying… If we don’t put the Fu family of Chang’an and A-Luan first, are we still members of the Fu family?”

"Yes, I even contributed quite a bit of dowry to your wedding!"

"As for Zhengzheng, she... sigh!"

When Fu Luan heard someone mention Zheng Zheng earlier, she squeezed out a few tears and pretended to be aggrieved. "Although it is said that 'family scandals should not be aired in public,' we are not outsiders after all."

"Zhengzheng took advantage of my illness to hook up with her brother-in-law! Sigh..."

"It's my bad luck; I'm sick every few days and can't take care of my husband. It's not Zhengzheng's fault, really..."

"Now that Yuanlu has suffered misfortune, the two of them are now 'closer than gold';

“Zhengzheng’s vow to follow Yuanlu to the death is much better than mine, the eldest daughter who would abandon everyone when disaster strikes!”

"If I had known they were truly in love, I definitely would have given in."

"Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. They actually wanted to harm me! Yuan Lu wanted to kill me and make Zhengzheng the Crown Princess."

"It's not Zhengzheng's fault, she's still young, she doesn't understand anything; it must have been Yuanlu who instigated it..."

Nothing spreads rumors better than distant relatives.

Most of these women have suffered the pain of their husbands' philandering or even favoring concubines over their wives;

Fu Luan found the right people to confide in.

"Ah Luan, don't be fooled by your sister! She's probably taking advantage of your illness to kill you."

"Think about it, what benefit could the Crown Prince gain from harming you?"

"I've always felt that your illegitimate sister is no good..."

"Ah Luan, you're too young... Someone like Zhengzheng, who looks weak on the surface, can be ruthless when it comes to harming people!"

"My deadbeat took advantage of my illness to hook up with my half-sister. Sigh!"

"He's not just had a half-sister; he's slept with all sorts of girls, including cousins, aunts, and god-sisters!"

"Oh dear...it's really embarrassing to talk about!"

Upon hearing Fu Luan's words, the relatives all thought of their own experiences.

In addition, some people who already disliked Fu Zhengzheng became even more enthusiastic in their criticism.

Fu Luan sobbed, occasionally offering a few words of defense for her younger sister;

Add a few more words like, "Zhengzheng isn't that bad," and "My sister wouldn't hurt me! She wouldn't!"

The relatives all felt sorry for Fu Luan, and they despised Fu Zhengzheng, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"This was sent by someone from the Sixth Prince's residence. They said they wanted to deliver it to you personally."

Fu Luan was having a headache from all the commotion from her relatives when a letter from her maidservant came to her rescue.

Fu Luan opened the letter when he returned to his study; it turned out to be written by Fu Zhengzheng.

The gist is that she knew nothing about the witchcraft, and that the affair was forced upon her by Yuan Lu…

"My sister was already unwell, and now the Sixth Prince beats and scolds her every day, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted."

"Moreover, the younger sister went to the East Palace to visit her older sister, and was subsequently defiled by her brother-in-law."

"Now that my elder sister has regained her freedom and returned to her parents' home, it is unreasonable for me to live in the Sixth Prince's residence without any status or title."

"Please, elder sister, send someone to fetch me back to the Marquis of Chang'an's residence. I would be eternally grateful!"

Fu Luan silently burned the letter.

On the day she was reborn, she deliberately prevented the emperor from personally questioning Fu Zhengzheng, and then left alone;

The purpose was to keep that vile woman in the Eastern Palace, awaiting the punishment of Yuan Lu after his deposition. Although the contents of that vile woman's letter were exaggerated...

But based on Fu Lu's understanding of Yuan Lu, at least 60% of it is true.

"Grandma, the messenger is waiting for your reply."

"No response," Fu Luan said with a cold laugh.

You think you can just write a letter and go back to the Fu family to become the daughter of the Marquis of Chang'an? There's no way it's that easy!

In her past life, she never saw the person who would come to take her home...

She wanted to see just how far Fu Zhengzheng would go to get back to the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion.

"Second brother, I want to learn to ride a horse, will you teach me to ride a horse?" Fu Luan ignored the letter and went straight to her second brother, Fu Zhan, and kept pleading with him.

"Why would a girl like you learn to ride a horse? Besides, our Ah Luan..."

“She’s born with a life of wealth and privilege, always traveling in a sedan chair. Why bother learning that nonsense?” Fu Zhan ruffled his sister’s hair.

The siblings had never been so close since the younger sister got married.

"I want to learn! If you won't teach me, I'll go find my older brother!" Fu Luan made a move to leave.

"Hey, don't... I'll teach you." Fu Zhan said helplessly.

Who could blame him when Fu Luan was his only half-sister from the same mother?

The reason why Fu Luan learned to ride a horse was very simple - next month, envoys from the Western Regions would come to the Great Wei to pay tribute.

Whenever the Western Regions sent tribute, the imperial court would hold horse races.

The winner can make a wish to the emperor as a reward!

She wanted to use this wish to get Yuan Jiu out of prison.

She's determined to win this title!

But on the first day that Fu Luan officially learned to ride a horse, it was still his elder brother Fu Yuan who came.

"Huh? Big brother, it's you? Where's second brother?" Fu Luan looked around, trying to find Fu Zhan.

Fu Yuan said coldly, "What? My adopted son isn't even qualified to teach his sister to ride a horse? Does it have to be your biological brother?"

Fu Luan sighed, "That's not what I meant, I..."

Being an "adopted son" was a source of deep anxiety for Fu Yuan from childhood.

"Are you still holding a grudge about my leaving without saying goodbye that day?" Fu Yuan slightly raised his chin, a playful smile in his eyes, as if testing his sister's reaction.

Fu Luan then realized that her elder brother was just teasing her.

"Big brother is indeed a bit ruthless!" Fu Luan tilted her head slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness;

A glimmer of light sparkled in her clear eyes, as if recalling the exhaustion of that day.

That night, she walked for a long, long time on Chang'an Avenue with her newly grown feet, until she finally saw the majestic gate tower of the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion.

That was the home she could never return to in her past life...

Fu Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. "So you want to learn to ride a horse, is that right?"

Fu Luan was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected Fu Yuan to connect the two things together.

She never expected that he would take her casual remark seriously.

"Who says otherwise? If one day I can't afford a carriage or sedan chair, at least I can still ride a horse."

"Right, Batu?"
