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

Yuan Jiu immediately said, "A-Luan, I'll stay with you!"

Fu Luan laughed and said, "You can stay with me for a while, but can you stay with me for a lifetime?"

"Although you are a prince, as the saying goes, 'even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes.' My father is probably looking for me this time because of family matters."

"His simple statement, 'I am teaching my own daughter, and I'm afraid it is inappropriate for Your Highness to interfere,' will shut you down!"

"I happen to have a favor to do here, I wonder if Xiao Jiu would be willing to help me?"

Yuan Jiu was just worried that he and Fu Luan hadn't been very close lately, so he quickly agreed.

"You and Cuiyun go find the person she just mentioned. Once you see that person, you'll understand everything!"

“If you are willing, take him back to your home and take good care of him for me. He will surely be of use soon.”

“If you are unwilling… I can understand. Just hand him over to my servants. You can take Cuiyun back yourself and have her serve Fuling.”

Yuan Jiu noted everything down, and before leaving, whispered, "If your father really hit you, remember to send someone to tell me, and I'll take you away!"

Fu Luan nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, when have I ever let myself suffer a loss?"

She watched him leave, then went back to her room to change her clothes before going to the front hall to see her father, Yu Weiyan, who was already waiting with the "family law" in hand.

This so-called "family discipline" was an extremely thick spiked club, even larger than those used on the battlefield;

If you were hit, you'd be crippled or bedridden for at least a few months!

The nails on the wooden stick were covered with dark stains, whether rust or the blood of the person who had been punished earlier, it was hard to tell!

"Daughter greets Father..." Fu Luan pretended not to see the "family rules" and bowed deeply to Yu Weiyan.

Yu Weiyan spat and said, "Hmph, do you even respect me as your father?"

"She was a perfectly good Crown Princess, but she just quit like that, and left her own younger sister in the Eastern Palace to be bullied by everyone!"

"You were so impressive, racing horses and showing off at the alliance ceremony! But what kind of person have you become when you're in charge?"

"You don't learn any of the things a proper young lady should learn, but instead you learn those useless things, which led to the house being robbed! And you even got Zhengzheng pregnant!"

"Her life is ruined right now. Even if you die ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times, you still can't make up for it!"

Ignoring the servants' attempts to stop him, he raised his spiked club and was about to strike Fu Luan!

Even the servants kept their eyes tightly shut, unable to bear watching the bloody and horrific scene that followed.

But Fu Luan didn't dodge at all. Instead, she straightened her clothes and looked directly at Yu Weiyan, saying, "I'm afraid my father can't beat me, since I'm the Lady of Langya, personally appointed by the imperial court!"

Yu Weiyan sneered, "Hmph, you're just a minor fourth-rank county princess. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the empress!"

"You've been showing off so much that even your own father doesn't recognize you. I advise you to know your own limitations!"

"You were able to become the Crown Princess entirely thanks to the ancestral precepts of the Great Wei Dynasty and the good fortune you were born into! Don't forget that;"

"Of all the crown princesses in your Fu family's history, only one was ultimately made empress! You..."

For some reason, he slowly lowered the hand that had been raising the spiked club...

Yu Weiyan examined Fu Luan's clothes. It was indeed the complete attire of a county princess, with an official seal hanging at her waist!

The clothes worn by noblewomen were all provided by the imperial court; although he claimed to have "just cause" for beating his daughter;

But she was wearing the clothes of a princess; striking those clothes would be like slapping the emperor's face. How could one possibly do that?

It should be noted that even when officials are being tortured, their official robes must be removed before the punishment can be carried out!

He can't very well let his daughter take off her clothes and get beaten by him, can he?

He only hated that the servant who made the announcement was as stupid as a pig, actually giving Fu Luan time to change his clothes!

"It seems that this 'mayor' title isn't entirely useless after all!" Fu Luan thought to herself.

Seeing that her father had put down the spiked club, she knew she had temporarily escaped a disaster, and felt relieved to defend herself:

"When the house was robbed, her father blamed her for not managing the household properly, and she was convinced of his fault."

"But Zhengzheng's current predicament is entirely of her own making; it would be unfair to blame me for it!"

Yu Weiyan sneered, "Hmph, what a fine 'you reap what you sow'!"

"Back when you were still the Crown Princess, you pretended to be sick and tricked your sister into going to the Eastern Palace, where your former 'good husband' took her body!"

"That scumbag of a man today only managed to sneak in because he accepted your invitation, and he raped Zhengzheng!"

Fu Luan watched coldly, it seemed that Fu Zhengzheng had told Yu Weiyan a lot of lies after returning to her room!

If it were her past life, she would definitely think there must have been some misunderstanding, and how could Zhengzheng have slandered her?

But now she knows that Fu Zhengzheng not only smears her, but has done this kind of thing far too many times since she was a child!

This is something she only figured out after a lifetime of devastating defeats...

Fu Luan sneered, "How could I not understand what Father is saying?"

"What good would it do me to hire someone to rape my sister, or even have my husband rape her?"

"Father may be late today. Did he see what Zhengzheng looked like in the east wing? I feel embarrassed just thinking about it!"

"'Rape'? How could she even utter those two words? I do recognize that man though..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Weiyan's eyes immediately lit up. "See, see, what did I tell you? You still dare to say this has nothing to do with you???"

Fu Luan took a deep breath and continued, "We're just acquaintances..."

“He is a doctor. He came to our house once to treat Zhengzheng. I know him. Isn’t that normal?”

"But all I know is his surname is 'Zheng,' I don't even know his full name! How can I send him an invitation to the banquet?"

Yu Weiyan snorted: "Your Fu family has that damned 'Physician Fu'; my Chang'an Marquis's mansion also has quite a bit of contact with the imperial physicians."

"When Zhengzheng fell ill, instead of inviting female physicians and imperial doctors, she went outside to invite some quack doctors."

"Lady Langya, you really know how to do things!"

Fu Luan ignored the sarcasm in his words and continued, "At that time, Zhengzheng had just returned to the manor."

"She was proud and unwilling to let Fu Ling treat her, disliking that the female doctor's medical skills were not as good as those of the male doctor."

"As for the imperial physicians... let's not even discuss whether the imperial physicians on duty that day were the ones who were on good terms with our family;

"Back then, it was a dark and windy night. The imperial physicians in the palace were too busy making house calls for the Emperor, the Empress, and the princes and princesses to come to our house."

“If Father thinks my words are unbelievable, why not call Zhengzheng’s personal maids and hear what they have to say?”

"Find those people who caused trouble today and find out what happened!"

Fu Luan raised her face and looked at her father, who had given her life and raised her, but who had also indirectly caused her death in her previous life!

Yu Weiyan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her daughter.

This face, this gaze, reminded him of various women from the Fu family;

It was as if whenever she stood in front of him, she was constantly reminding him, "Even if you become a marquis or a general, you'll still be nothing more than a son-in-law of the Fu family!"
