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

Fu Luan sneered, "She cares more about these things than others! The people of Wei are open-minded and don't place much emphasis on female chastity."

"But who told her to be so picky when she had a choice, complaining that this young master came from a low social class or that young master was not good-looking;

"Now that her reputation is ruined, only that old-fashioned Xue Yan is proposing marriage. How can she not pretend? Since she wants to pretend, let her pretend!"

"Let's see if she can wait until this knowledge she's 'learned' for so long comes in handy!"

As the sun set in the west that day, Hua Luo returned from the Prince of Yan's residence;

In addition to the return gift of Anagui, they also brought back a note.

"The concubine was initially quite pleased to see her aunt giving her flowers;

"Later, some concubine named Tao showed off in front of her, and she immediately frowned," Hua Luo said truthfully.

Fu Luan smiled and said, "Let me guess... did Consort Tao mean that 'Camellia Red' is just a bowl lotus with 'camellia' in its name?"

"You're saying I'm mocking this 'desert camellia' because it's not a real camellia?"

Hua Luo put down her teacup and nodded quickly, "How did you know? It was almost word for word!"

Fu Luan smiled but remained silent.

Of course she knew! This "Consort Tao" was one of the concubines who had an affair with Yuan Lu in prison in her previous life and who led the way in framing Xiao Jiu!

She came from a poor family, but she knew how to please Xiao Jiu; she was previously just a concubine without any official status.

Now, under the guise of "sharing weal and woe," after Xiao Jiu experienced imprisonment;

Concealing the fact that she had an affair with Yuan Lu and framed Xiao Jiu, she quickly rose to the rank of concubine and even secondary concubine!

Hua Luofu added, "The Prince of Yan says he likes our aunt;

"But in reality, recently he has either been taking in new concubines or petitioning the emperor to promote the existing concubines!"

"Grandma, you..."

Seeing Fu Luan staring thoughtfully at the post, Hua Luo stopped talking.

Fu Luan sighed, "I know you mean well, but..."

"But if the 'demon' in the house isn't removed, my aunt won't be able to remarry in peace."

“Really?” Fu Ling replied with a smile.

Fu Luan nodded.

Xiao Jiu has a bunch of new and old lovers, how could she not feel bad?

But Fu Zhengzheng is ruthless; in her past life, she repaid kindness with enmity.

Although the Fu brothers were separated from her by a mother, they treated her the same as they treated Fu Luan, and did not harbor any thoughts of "you are not my biological sister".

But in the end, Fu Zhengzheng didn't spare a single one... more than seven hundred members of the Fu family!

In that great calamity, it wasn't just the Fu family of Chang'an who were wiped out.

Luoyang, Yongning, Penglai, Yangxin, and the Dian Kingdom... all branches of the Fu family were wiped out!

If Fu Zhengzheng isn't dealt with, how can Fu Luan feel at ease getting married?

She could only suppress her displeasure for the time being and ignore the group of women in the Prince of Yan's mansion.

As for Yuanjiu's invitation... it was a banquet invitation.

"His Highness the Prince of Yan heard that our last family banquet ended on a sour note, which is a great pity."

“It just so happens that my aunt is now the Lady of Jin County. Since there was no banquet this time, why don’t we let him host it on her behalf?” Hua Luo explained.

"No, the injury on my face hasn't healed yet..." Fu Luan immediately picked up his pen and wrote back to refuse.

To everyone's surprise, Yuan Jiu, after receiving the reply, not only did not give up, but became even more anxious.

"I was injured by a desk last time, but I've fully recovered now."

"Why isn't the scratch on A-Luan's face healed yet?" He came several more times, but Fu-Luan always claimed to be ill and refused to see him.

After some back and forth, Marquis Yu Weiyan of Chang'an and Xue Lin, the heir apparent of Marquis Chengwu, finally arrived in Chang'an.

"Greetings, Father; greetings, Uncle Xue..."

"Greetings, Father! Greetings, Uncle Yu..." Whether it was a coincidence or not, I don't know;

The only people at home in the Fu family these days are the fourth brother, Fu Ze, and the three sisters, Fu Luan.

The Xue family, who were visiting, had all their members present.

"Good, good! You're all good kids!" Xue Lin greeted the children from both families with a smile;

On the contrary, Yu Weiyan only grunted when she saw Fu Ze and Fu Luan;

Upon seeing Fu Zhengzheng, his face lit up with joy.

Even Xue Yan and his sister could see that the Marquis of Chang'an favored illegitimate children, so how could Xue Lin not see it?

However, it's none of his business how other people conduct themselves!

"Marquis of Chang'an... My purpose in coming to Chang'an this time is firstly to visit relatives;

"Secondly, it's about the children's marriages..." After exchanging pleasantries, the two finally got to the point.

"The marriage between Zhengzheng and Ayan is very appropriate, and it is also what the children themselves are willing to do."

“Once Zhengzheng gets married, she’ll have her own aunt to look after her, so there won’t be any problems!” Yu Weiyan said with a smile.

Xue Lin replied, "That's natural... but I have another matter on my mind..."

"Oh?" Yu Weiyan stopped pouring tea.

After a moment's thought, he concluded that Xue Lin was probably concerned about his daughter's marriage.

really……

"Ayan's marriage is settled; but his sister..."

"Logically, it shouldn't be us women who bring this up; even if we were to bring it up, we should find a matchmaker, but..."

"Please forgive my rudeness, but I would like to hear your opinion first, Lord Marquis."

"If Xue Chen could even slightly meet the standards of your household..." Xue Lin was still smiling, but the smile clearly carried a hint of reluctance.

Yu Weiyan pondered and said, "No matter which of my rebellious sons Chen'er marries, it will be considered a 'marriage down,' while my family is marrying up."

"We're all on the same side, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. Of those kids, where's Fu Yuan?"

"He is my wife's adopted son. She adopted this child before she got married, and I still don't understand why she did it."

"In short, although I raised him like my own son, he has absolutely no relation to me!"

"The third brother, Fu Che, is playful. For some reason, he broke off the engagement with the Hua family, which made my niece at home feel like she was going to die!"

"According to him, he doesn't want to get married for at least the next year or two."

"As his father, I think what he said was a bit childish, but if I rashly arrange a marriage for him..."

"If he throws a tantrum and cancels the engagement with Chen'er, then it will be my fault."

"Fu Ze's health has been weak these past few years, so he naturally has to wait until his health is better before he can think about getting married."

"Otherwise, no matter who you marry, wouldn't you just be wasting the girl's time?"

"As for Lao Wu Fu Qing... he, like me, has been stationed on the border for many years; "

"He only comes back for Chinese New Year, and he doesn't even show up for Mid-Autumn Festival. He's even less likely to be home than I am!"

After all that was said, only the second son, Fu Zhan, was not mentioned, and Xue Lin immediately understood—

Yu Weiyan was willing to "add joy to joy" and remarry, and he preferred his second son.

Xue Lin raised his cup and laughed, "If we're talking about background, my son Chen'er is really just average."

"Although the eldest son is an adopted son, he is first-rate in both literary and martial arts, and is also very handsome."

"Chen'er's mother was a concubine who was promoted to the position of wife, so why would she look down on the eldest young master's adopted son?"

"This..." Yu Weiyan never expected this;

Xue Lin actually chose his adopted son Fu Yuan as his son-in-law instead of his own son Fu Zhan.
