Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Outside the window, with a wide view and a wide field of vision, a man stood there watching Xueyue and Wenmin practicing archery. His eyes were full of vigilance, and it was difficult to read his thoughts, but upon closer inspection, there was a faint smile on his lips.

Li Chenyang watched Xueyue patiently teach Wenmin the techniques and skills of archery. Although Wenmin was terrible at the sport and had poor grades, she never lost her temper. Instead, she continued to teach him through a series of encouragements.

There was a soft knock on the door, and the Duke responded in a low voice. A man in black walked into the room cautiously and knelt on one knee. The mask covered his face, covering the lower half of his face, revealing only his lifeless eyes.

"Ling, what did you find out about Xueyue?" King Li Chenyang asked solemnly without turning his head to face his confidant.

Ling has been with the Duke since they could remember. Ling's father served the Duke's father, so Ling also knew him since he was a child. In the past, Ling had a name beyond simple characters, but he thought he didn't deserve a longer name.

Although King Li Chenyang didn't look at him, Ling still remained in his kneeling position.

"Her full name is Bai Xueyue. Because of the unfavorable environment, she was neglected since she was born. The Viscount is not her biological father. It is rumored that the Viscountess had an affair, but many workers swore that she was raped." ...So, Xueyue was born. "

"Was the rapist's name mentioned?" asked Li Chenyang.

"All traces and records of this man have been erased. Viscount Bai made it seem as if he had never existed."

Duke Li Chenyang said to himself. The Viscount was an evil man in the court, notorious for hiding his greed for power. He would not be hindered by gossip. The Duke was not surprised that the information about the whereabouts of the rapist was destroyed. The man was most likely killed by the Viscount.

King Li Chenyang glanced at Xueyue. Even at a great distance, he had a familiar feeling about her. Where had he seen her before? He felt like she was someone he knew, but he couldn't tell who it was.

"Was the man murdered?"

"If murder had occurred, it is unknown where he was buried. His crimes were so heinous that it would not be surprising to see him chopped up and fed to pigs."

Lord Li Chenyang thought about the servant's words and said, "Find out her biological father. I don't care what dirty tricks you use."

"Yes, sir." Ling responded quickly.

"Now list out to me the details of Xueyue's life experience."

"Not much is known about her, and no one knows about her except the servants of the Bai Mansion and her guards. She has been kept secret from the society, but there is evidence that the Zheng family has been connected to her. She is acquainted with Master Zheng Leiyu, but they are no longer friends since he announced his engagement to Bai Tianai. The Viscount and his wife locked Xueyue in the Bai Mansion.

It was not uncommon for fathers to hide their daughters away on wealthy estates.

Many parents did not want their daughters to be involved in scandals. Most girls from aristocratic families did not enter high society until they were adults. But mothers often wanted their daughters to get acquainted with other girls to strengthen the relationship. It was difficult for the daughters of a prominent family to hide.

Even the Li family tried to keep Minghua away from society. Many people were curious about the only daughter of the famous and wealthy Li family. They wondered if she was as beautiful as her mother.

What King Li Chenyang didn't know was that Li Minghua would occasionally sneak out of the Li Mansion and visit Hechen alone. She always disguised herself as a servant, so not many people noticed her.

Lord Li Chenyang turned back to look at Jingling. "She was sentenced to death by assault. Go investigate this further and come back to me after you have collected a detailed report."

"Yes, my Lord." Ling nodded and clasped his hands before leaving. He left quietly, and the entire hall could not hear his footsteps. None of the servants knew of his presence, and both of them intended to keep it that way.

"Look! It's on target!" Wenmin's shout brought King Li Chenyang's attention back to the window. He watched Xueyue clap her hands happily. After four missed shots, Wenmin's fifth arrow finally hit the edge of their closet target post.

When he saw the bright expressions on the two children's faces, King Li Chenyang's seriousness and coldness disappeared. He was originally worried that the twins would not get along with her, but he was happy to see that their relationship was not tense on the surface.

Knowing that his schedule was clear and empty, he spent the rest of the afternoon watching the two practice archery. The more he watched their interactions, the more he began to see Yugetsu in a positive light. Maybe having her around wasn't so bad after all...
