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

Born into a prestigious family, with strict upbringing, he rarely interacted with young women and demanded that women be virgins...

Fu Zhengzheng was once again certain that Xue Yan was the kind of man she could easily control!

As for his sister Xue Chen, after using the ointment given to her by Fu Zhengzheng, the inexplicable rash on her face indeed disappeared.

Although this ointment wouldn't immediately change Xue Chen's prejudice against Zhengzheng, she did give Zhengzheng quite a few gifts in return.

And the two met at the mansion. Xue Chen finally knew to nod to Zhengzheng instead of looking down on her as before!

While maintaining close ties with the Xue family and keeping Xue Yan hanging, Fu Zhengzheng also waited for news from the palace and even went to the Prince of Ning's residence from time to time.

But Yuan Jia isn't so easy to seduce.

When the servant announced that "Miss Fu requests an audience," he assumed it was Fu Luan and naturally straightened his clothes and composed himself to greet her.

His face immediately darkened when he saw it was Fu Zhengzheng;

Without even exchanging a polite word, they directly asked the guests to "see them out."

After being rebuffed several times, Fu Zhengzheng naturally knew that Yuan Jia did not like her, so she focused her attention on news from the palace and Xue Yan.

Before any news arrived from the palace, her father, the Marquis of Chang'an, sent word that he was returning to Chang'an ahead of schedule!

Upon receiving Yu Weiyan's message, Xue Yan's father—Xue Lin, the heir of the Marquis of Chengwu—immediately set off from Yunzhong.

Upon hearing this news, Fu Zhengzheng was filled with mixed emotions.

"The second young lady said last night that if they waited for the Marquis to return, there would still be no news from the palace."

"She's given up on the idea of ​​going to the palace. From now on... she'll focus on living with the young master of the Xue family!" Tao Su said with a smile.

Fu Luan fiddled with the lotus in the bowl and said with a smile, "She's quite adept at 'going with the flow'."

"But... her days ahead are probably going to be tough!"

As usual, Hua Luo gave Tao Su a reward of money; Tao Su held the money bag in her hands, but did not express her gratitude as usual before leaving.

Hua Luo frowned; before she could speak, Fu Luan smiled and said, "You still have something to say to me, don't you?"

Tao Su nodded quickly.

"Hua Luo, take this 'Camellia Red' to Ana Gui. Go in person!" Fu Luan presented the bowl of lotus to Hua Luo.

"She pushed you in Zhaoyang Palace last time, and you not only didn't hold it against her;

"And she even gave away the lotus bowl that the Third Young Master sent from Suzhou?" How could Hua Luo not know that Fu Luan just wanted to get rid of her?

But these were Fu Luan's orders, and no matter how much she didn't understand, she had no choice but to do as she was told.

Fu Luan smiled at Tao Su and said, "Now it's just the two of us. You can talk about what's on your mind!"

Peach Crisp bit her lip and said softly, "Logically, this isn't something I, as a maid, should be saying..."

She observed his expression and recounted Xue Yan's previous remarks about Fu Luan being "not a virgin."

Upon hearing this, Fu Luan still smiled and said, "I wondered what it was, but it turns out it's this!"

"He's nobody to me, what he thinks of me is none of my business. You're just being thoughtful..."

Tao Su blushed and said, "Does Your Highness think I'm being nosy or talkative?"

Fu Luan patted her shoulder and sighed, "You haven't done anything wrong, why should I think that way?"

"You were originally my eyes and ears planted next to her, seeing and hearing whatever she wanted;

"Coming to me to report is a perfectly normal thing! You did a great job this time;"

"Next time you have something else to do, just come to me like this again. Tell me whatever you want, don't have any reservations!"

Tao Su nodded and said, "She knows that our Marquis and Master Xue are coming back."

"They've been going to see that old hag more and more lately! When the two of them are having their fun, I can only stand at the door."

"It sounds like... she begged that old geezer to teach her how to pretend to be a 'virgin' on her wedding night!"
