I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

In the boudoir of Miss Chen Liu, the Prime Minister’s family.

Chen Daiyu stood in front of the window, her face pale, crying desperately. This despair was like an invisible mountain, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"Daddy, I don't want to marry him!" Chen Daiyu raised her head and looked at the Prime Minister Chen standing in front of her with tearful eyes. She gritted her teeth, her attitude as stubborn as ever.

Prime Minister Chen snorted coldly and threw a white silk to Chen Daiyu.

"Either marry me or hang yourself. It's your choice."

His voice was cold and decisive, leaving no room for maneuver.

Chen Daiyu didn't believe that her father was really so heartless. It was obvious that he favored her the most among all his children.

She bit her lower lip tightly, and a thought flashed through her mind...

Chen Daiyu snatched the white silk fiercely, stepped onto the stool, and hung herself on the beam with determination.

After tying the knot, seeing that her father didn't say anything to stop her, she took one last glance at him and then stuck her head into the white silk in a huff.

Finally, he kicked over the stool and committed suicide!

Lord Chen saw his daughter crying, making a scene and threatening to hang herself again. He felt disdainful and said in a cold voice, "Daiyu, since you would rather die than marry, I will... fulfill your wish."

Raising a daughter who has lost her virginity in the mansion will only bring disgrace to the family. Only when she dies will the world praise her for her "strict family tradition". It can also save the face of the fifth daughter, the Crown Princess.

After saying this, he turned away.

Mrs. Chen was extremely shocked and watched in disbelief as her master...left.

After Mrs. Chen came to her senses, she immediately rushed to her daughter with tears streaming down her face, hugged her legs tightly, and shouted for help to the maids outside the door.

"Hurry, hurry up and save the young lady! Hurry up and save the young lady!"

The maids acted quickly and worked together to rescue Chen Daiyu from the beam.

At this time, Chen Daiyu was already pale and unconscious. Mrs. Chen was distraught: "What a sin!"

Fortunately, after the doctor's emergency treatment, Chen Daiyu finally woke up.

However, although he woke up, his heart was chilled by his father's indifference.

She finally understood that she was once favored only because of her outstanding appearance, which enabled her to marry into a high position like her elder sister, the Crown Princess, and gain benefits for her family.

Now that I've lost my virginity, my father no longer cares about me.

Chen Daiyu lay in her mother's arms and cried loudly. This was the most painful experience since she was born.

Mrs. Chen hugged her daughter and tried her best to persuade her:

"Daiyu, your father has already had a deep understanding of Fu Jingxuan. The teacher praised him for his diligence and talent. He will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future and earn you an imperial decree."

"...You married him, and with our Chen family as your backing, you can do whatever you want in Jingyang Marquis's Mansion, and live a comfortable and pleasant life."

Mrs. Chen only talked about the good things and urged her daughter to accept the marriage.

After going through a lot of trouble and seeing that her father didn't treat her that well, Chen Daiyu finally compromised.

She agreed to the marriage with a heart full of resentment.

The quarrel between the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion and the Prime Minister Chen's family lasted for half a month. Today, the two families finally sat down at the negotiation table to finalize the marriage.

Tao Ying was unhappy with the second wife and didn't want to get involved in her affairs. She simply took her two daughters and went to the pavilion in the backyard to make tea and admire the flowers.

"Mom, what requests do you think the Chen family will make?" Fu Yuzheng asked softly while brewing tea skillfully.

Tao Ying took a sip of tea and looked at her eldest daughter Fu Yushuo, intending to check on her daughter's progress in learning how to be a housekeeper, so she motioned for her to speak.

Fu Yushu thought for a moment and said softly, "It's nothing more than relying on power to forbid my eldest cousin to take a concubine within five years."

"That's right." Fu Yuzheng curled her lips and chuckled. The second branch was poor, and even if the Chen family wanted to ask for more betrothal gifts for Chen Daiyu, they couldn't. What other excessive demands could they make?

At this moment, the head maid Ming Xia came over and said mysteriously, "Madam, Miss, guess what I just heard?"

"What did you hear?" The mother, daughter and her two children looked at Ming Xia curiously.

Ming Xia looked around and made sure there was no one else, then she whispered, "...Young Master Fu Jingxuan was stubborn and refused to marry Chen Daiyu. The Prime Minister was so angry that his face turned black on the spot."

Tao Ying and Fu Yusu were surprised. How could Fu Jingxuan do such a thing?

Fu Yuzheng pursed her lips and smiled. This cousin really knew how to give Chen Daiyu the cold shoulder.

Yes, as a scholar, my eldest cousin attaches great importance to face. Chen Daiyu looked down on him and his family in the pot-throwing field, how could he let it go easily?

Ming Xia continued, "... Later, the Second Master slapped him twice, and Old Madam Fu and Mrs. Qiao also quietly persuaded him, claiming that marrying Chen Daiyu would make him a disciple of the Prime Minister, which would be of great benefit to his career. The Young Master then reluctantly agreed to the marriage with his neck stiffened."

Tsk tsk tsk, you're still stiffening your neck and reluctantly agreeing?

Fu Yuzheng couldn't help but be amazed by the dual personality and shamelessness of her cousin.

On the one hand, he disdained Chen Daiyu, but on the other hand, he coveted the power behind her.

This kind of behavior of wanting to save face and grab power is really worthy of the second wife. The whole family is shameless and hypocritical!

Just then, the second wife, Mrs. Qiao, walked into the pavilion holding a handkerchief.

Mrs. Qiao walked towards Tao Ying with a smile on her face and said, "Sister-in-law, you are here. It was so easy for me to find you."

Tao Ying responded slightly embarrassedly: "Second brother's wife, what's the matter?"

Qiao smiled and explained, "I am discussing marriage with the Prime Minister and his wife. I will go to the Chen family to propose marriage in a few days. Madam Chen hopes that I can find a reputable matchmaker."

"I remember that when I proposed marriage to Gao Ni last time, both the old Princess of Nanjun and the Princess of Nanjun were suitable. Even if the old Princess of Nanjun cannot be invited, the Princess of Nanjun is also very good."

"Sister-in-law, can you help me ask the Princess of Nanjun to propose marriage?"

Fu Yuzheng raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

This is the first assistant Chen's wife trying to save Chen Daiyu's face in various ways, and she actually made such a ridiculous request. She didn't even consider how bad Chen Daiyu's reputation was, and how big the face of the second wife was?

Can you please them?

Fu Yuzheng said sarcastically, "Second Aunt, this is difficult. My parents have never had any relationship with the Nanjun Palace, so we can't talk to them at all."

Mrs. Qiao continued to laugh shamelessly: "Second Auntie naturally knows this, but don't you have a fiancé, Gao Ni? He has a close relationship with the Nanjun Palace, can't you just ask him for help? He won't even be willing to help you with such a small favor, right?"
