The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Dongfang Zheng and the others looked like they had eaten feces.

The first to lose her temper was the old lady. "Dongfang Wan'er, do you even respect us? You have no sense of hierarchy at all! So many of us are waiting for you. You should have come and let us know after you've had lunch!"

"Grandmother, what are you saying? Even the idiot next door knows to eat when he's hungry, so why would he..." Dongfang Wan'er didn't finish her sentence, looking at everyone as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Wan'er!" Dongfang Zheng roared angrily, his face grim.

"Why is Father speaking so loudly? You scared me!" Dongfang Wan'er patted her chest in a mock manner.

Dongfang Zheng… “Wan’er, I called you here because I have important business. Mingzhu, come here!”

Oriental Pearl Tower, here it comes, here it comes! Just wait and see how Daddy deals with you.

Dongfang Mingzhu covered her face, silently shedding tears, and stopped in the middle. "Father, it's not my sister's fault. She just accidentally bumped into me, and that's why I hurt my face!"

"Pfft..." Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, sorry, please continue. It's just that you said you fell and hurt your face, I just couldn't hold back, hahahahaha! You fell and used your face as a brake, hahahahaha!" Dongfang Wan'er laughed nonstop!

Everyone... brakes? What is that?!

"Dongfang Wan'er! Did you hit your sister?!" Dongfang Zheng was furious. This legitimate daughter of his was usually arrogant and domineering at home, but she was also filial and would listen to him. What was wrong with her today?

"Oh no, I bumped into her, but I didn't see her fall!"

"Father!" Dongfang Mingzhu cried. "It's really not my sister's fault!"

“Master, Miss has always been domineering. We usually tolerate it, but now, we’ve injured Zhu’er’s face. What if she gets a scar? How will she get married?” Seeing that Dongfang Zheng was unmoved, Liu Qiqi went straight for the drastic measure. She knew best what her master cared about. Daughters were only for marriage alliances. If their faces were injured, they would definitely be useless!

"Bang..." Upon hearing this, Dongfang Zheng indeed lost his temper and slammed his hand on the table.

"Dongfang Wan'er, I have spoiled you too much, which has led you to become like this, harming your sister. From today onwards, you will be confined to your quarters for a month!"

"Oh, okay!" Dongfang Wan'er didn't care. You think you can just put me under house arrest? I'll stay home obediently then. Anyway, it won't be long before you all beg me to go out.

Dongfang felt like he had been slapped on cotton.

"Then I'm off. Oh, by the way, I'll write a letter to my second aunt, telling her not to send any more food to the Marquis's mansion!" Dongfang Wan'er took this opportunity to cut off the food supply to the Marquis's mansion. In the past, the food was always sent by her aunt, but now that it's stopped, let's see what they eat.

She also wants to visit her mother, help her mother recover, and cut off the Marquis's family's financial support. She'll see what they have to do now that they've been eating and using our money all this time.

Before leaving, Dongfang Wan'er took out her soft whip and lashed it directly at Dongfang Mingzhu.

"Ah!" Dongfang Mingzhu screamed. It really hurt. Her arm was bleeding and the skin was broken.

Dongfang Wan'er swung her whip again, striking Dongfang Wan'er's face.

"Ah, Father! My sister is going to kill someone!" Dongfang Mingzhu felt a burning pain in her arms and face.

"Dongfang Wan'er, what are you doing!" Dongfang Zhengcai finally reacted.

"Didn't you say I harmed my sister and wanted to confine me to my quarters? If I didn't harm her, why should I be confined! I'm leaving!" Dongfang Wan'er said and left without even looking at Dongfang Zheng's ashen face.

She used to be filial and obedient, but in the end, he still loved Dongfang Mingzhu the most. He married her off to the eldest prince and then married Dongfang Mingzhu into the family. He even persuaded her to make Dongfang Mingzhu an equal to him and to be his concubine. She was so stupid that she actually agreed.

"Zheng'er, this..." Dongfang Zheng's mother was now anxious. She should have known better than to say anything to Dongfang Wan'er. Now, the Zhenguo Duke's mansion has run out of ingredients, and her own bird's nest and exquisite pastries will be gone.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll talk to Wan'er." Dongfang Zheng was also a little regretful! He glared at Liu Qiqi and her son, then turned and left!

After uttering those harsh words, Dongfang Wan'er went straight to her mother's courtyard.

My mother, Lu Wanning, is the youngest daughter of Lu Yanchen, the patriarch of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Lu Yanchen is the Grand General of Zhenguo, a veteran of three reigns. He has now stepped down and his eldest son, Lu Chengfeng, has succeeded him. He spends most of his time on the border.

Lu Wanning's courtyard was the best courtyard in the Marquis's mansion. Walking into the courtyard, there was a bluestone path, lush greenery everywhere, and a rose tree in full bloom.

"Mother, I've come to see you!" Dongfang Wan'er ran over.

Upon entering the room, a strong medicinal smell filled the air. The room was filled with various precious ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, and even the bed where Lu Wanning lay was made of the finest rosewood, which looked particularly exquisite and grand.

"Cough cough...cough cough!" Lu Wanning coughed a few times. "Wan'er, what brings you to visit your mother today? I thought you had forgotten about me!"

Lying on the bed was a delicate beauty with fair and tender skin; Dongfang Wan'er's appearance was inherited from Lu Wanning, who naturally possessed a delicate quality and a gentle voice.

"Mother, why is your cough so bad!" Dongfang Wan'er stepped forward, placed her hand on Lu Wanning's hand, and took her pulse.

Lu Wanning was puzzled, but seeing her daughter so serious, she didn't ask.

Dongfang Wan'er was shocked. Her mother had also been poisoned, which was why she was so weak and coughing every day. Li Qiqi was so vicious. Judging from her pulse, her mother could only live for another three years at most, and the last year would be extremely painful.

"Wan'er, this is an old ailment of mine. You came to see me. I know my own body well. When did you learn to take a pulse, Wan'er?" Lu Wan'er only remembered that Wan'er liked to play with swords and spears!

Dongfang Wan'er didn't intend to hide anything from her mother today. "Mother, what I'm about to say might sound fantastical, but it's true! You have to believe me!"

Dongfang Wan'er then told Lu Wanning about her rebirth, her life in the modern world, and how the eldest prince had harmed her maternal grandfather's family!

Lu Wanning was stunned for a long time after hearing the news, and Dongfang Wan'er was not in a hurry, waiting for her mother to digest it.

"Wan'er, are you saying that this isn't an illness, but poisoning?" Lu Wanning asked, clearly believing what Dongfang Wan'er had said.

"Yes! Mother, do you believe me?!"

"Silly child, you are a piece of my flesh and blood, who else would I trust if not you!" Lu Wanning smiled gently.

"Mother!" Dongfang Wan'er hugged Lu Wanning, and her long-suppressed emotions finally burst forth. She hugged Lu Wanning and cried for a long time.

Lu Wanning patted Dongfang Wan'er's back quietly, offering silent comfort.

"Alright, stop crying!" Lu Wanning tenderly wiped away the tears from Dongfang Wan'er's face. "You won't be pretty if you keep crying!"

"Pfft..." Dongfang Wan'er laughed, then choked up and said, "Mother, where did you see that your daughter is pretty!"
