What Should I Do About My Cousin, the Heir's Concubine?

Fu Qingyan is the only child of the Fu family, the distinguished Jing'an Marquis household of the Beiming Dynasty. Though women cannot inherit a marquisate, the emperor, mindful of the Fu family's loyal service and sacrifice for their country, granted her the title of Princess Hongluan.

For generations, the Fu family guarded the Western Garrison. In the generation of the Jing'an Marquis, his only daughter, Fu Qingyan, was staying with her maternal grandparents in Qianzhou in the southeast. The relaxed rules in her grandparents' home gave Fu Qingyan her bold, lively nature.

One day, Fu Qingyan returned to the Jing'an Marquis residence in the capital. After visiting the emperor and the various imperial consorts at the palace, she dashed off to the Anding Marquis residence.

She'd heard that her cousin, the heir to the marquisate, kept a courtyard full of beauties. Fu Qingyan only wanted to feast her eyes, but before she could see any beauties, her cousin grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and carried her to the old madam of the residence.

Rumors circulated in the capital that the heir to the Anding Marquis was impotent. Every time Fu Qingyan heard them, she stood up for him. His courtyard was full of beauties, after all, though she had yet to see them herself.

One day, Fu Qingyan sneaked into her cousin's courtyard dressed as a man. At last, she saw the beauty she'd been longing to meet. She stared, stunned, and fell off the wall.

The rumors were true.

She wiped away the tears at the corners of her mouth, then grinned and stepped forward to take the beauty by the wrist, only to be glared at.

"What kind of lecher are you, to dare offend the young lord's concubine?"

Wait, did she just say she was a concubine? Then...

Fu Qingyan's mind started turning. She hurriedly ran away, missing the dark, unreadable look in the concubine's eyes.

After investigating every way she could, she learned that the rumor about her cousin's impotence was true. His courtyard was full of beauties, but he never went there.

Then perhaps her chance had come.

Fu Qingyan was carried through the side gate of the Anding Marquis residence in a small sedan chair. From then on, Lady Yan lived next door to the beauty, spending every day chatting, composing poetry, and playing music with her. She was having the time of her life.

At last, the beauty fell for her. When the heir let the beauty leave, Fu Qingyan took her away from the Andong Marquis residence.

Just as their carriage had traveled ten li beyond the capital, the beauty leapt out, drew her sword to cut the carriage free, then flew onto a horse.

"Thank you, Princess, for saving me."

What? A princess? She knew who I was?

Wait, weren't you too frail to take care of yourself? Didn't you get out of breath after walking a few steps?

Then who was this woman who leapt onto a horse and galloped away?

Can someone tell me?

Fu Qingyan shouted, but no one paid her any attention.
