Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

"Brother Chen, wait!" Li Xueyue shouted and rushed out of the room, only to see him walking quickly along the corridor. She snorted in annoyance and decided to chase him.

"We have to finish talking about this!"

"No, we didn't," Li Chenyang replied, quickening his pace and looking back every now and then to make sure she wasn't catching up. As she quickly approached him, his eyes widened in shock.

Finally, they broke out into a run, and Li Chenyang roared through the corridor.

"Why can't we talk?!" she yelled, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Because that'll end up causing a fight!"

"Why are we running?" she cried, rushing to catch up with his long legs.

Li Chenyang laughed breathlessly. She was right, why did they run? Originally he wanted to escape from her, but now it felt too weird.

He slowed down to a leisurely walk, allowing her to catch up with him.

"Can't we just talk it over?" Li Xueyue widened her eyes in anger, pouted her lower lip, and made a pleading look.

Li Chenyang rolled his eyes. “Your idea of ​​‘speaking it out’ is to try to convince me to agree with your point of view, and insist on it until I agree.”

"We can compromise!" She clasped her hands together and shouted. "Excuse me, Brother Chen?"

Li Chenyang snorted. "No means no, Xueyue, why do you care so much about other people's safety? The only person you should care about is yourself."

"How about we uh...consult Father--"

“Father’s morals are worse than mine. He would tell the pirates not to save anyone because they would become witnesses.” Li Chenyang gave her a hard look. He was amused by her confusion.

Li Xueyue blinked quickly. "But... I think my father is very moral..."

"He pretends to do it." Li Chenyang smiled and shook his head, while she tilted her head in confusion like a lost bunny. "Believe me, it's better to ignore them than to care about them. What benefits can they bring to us? The satisfaction of being a savior? I'm not interested in those things."

Li Xueyue slumped her shoulders in disappointment, pouting her lips and frowning. “Every life matters,” she whispered darkly.

"Maybe it will be the same in the next life, but the lives of these people will endanger our lives. Who can say that they won't run back and tell their master that it was the Li family who hijacked the ship?"

"Excellently-"

"How about this?" Li Chenyang interjected. "We will release these people, but we will not help them return to Hechen. Their fate depends on them. This way our identity will not be compromised, and they will not suffer in the future." Pirate Hand. "

Her eyes lit up at his suggestion. She let out a scream of happiness and threw herself on him, hugging him tightly. "That's a great plan!"

Li Chenyang rolled his eyes. Normally, he would hug her back, but he was still mad at her, so he kept his arms at his side, even though she smiled at him happily.

“You’re the best!”

“I know.” Li Chenyang snorted and placed a finger on her forehead. When he applied a little force and pushed her back with his finger, she blinked in confusion and screamed.

"You should have tried harder to comfort me."

"I'm not trying to comfort you. I just want to hug you."

"Yeah, that's right." Li Chenyang chuckled and patted her forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts!" she cried, grabbing the spot on her head. If he kept hitting the same spot, it would leave a permanent dent!

"Whatever." Li Chenyang pondered.

"By the way, why did you go home so early?"

"I finished my court duties earlier than usual. There wasn't much work to do."

"I see. In that case, let's play Go—"

"Oh, Xueyue." A voice came from behind Li Chenyang.

The two turned around and saw their mother, her face slightly frowned. She seemed to be unhappy about something, and the letter she opened revealed this.

"What's wrong?" Li Xueyue asked, avoiding Li Chenyang and walking to her mother. "You look very depressed."

"I received a letter from Wen Jinkai, and there is no good news in it." Duchess Wang Qixing sighed and walked towards the children. She handed the letter to Xueyue, but Chenyang snatched it away.

Li Chenyang unfolded the letter and quickly scanned the contents. In the blink of an eye, a curse appeared on the corner of his lips. "That desperate son——"

“Don’t you dare finish this sentence!” Duchess Wang Qixing put her hands on her hips and scolded.

Li Chenyang crumpled up the parchment and threw it to the ground. "Who does he think he is? He actually dared to go against your authority, mother. Does he really think that the position of commander is more important than that of princess?" He hissed.

Li Xueyue was confused about what had just happened. She bent down and picked up the parchment he threw at her, but he patted her hand gently.

"Don't touch that dirty parchment. It's covered with his disgusting germs." Li Chenyang muttered, pulling out a handkerchief and wiping his fingers.

Duchess Wang Qixing lamented her son's overprotection. "You shouldn't have thrown it on the ground in the first place."

"Sorry..." Li Chenyang responded embarrassedly, but he didn't seem to be apologizing.

"I want to read more." Li Xueyue said unhappily, picking up the parchment again. She crumpled it, which annoyed him. Her eyebrows raised upwards. She was once again surprised by his neat handwriting.

"Dear Princess, I have received your letter regarding the pendant, but I regret to inform you that in order to retrieve it, I would like to receive it personally from the woman to whom I gave it."

Since meeting at the Li Mansion is too dangerous for us Xueyue, may I suggest going to the palace? Or perhaps one of the restaurants favored by other nobles? She does owe me a meal, but it seems your naughty daughter has found a loophole in our agreement.

Li Xueyue blinked. "Well, maybe you're right, Brother Chen, this letter is dirty." She frowned, crumpled it up again and threw it to the ground.

"I told you." Li Chenyang had a blank expression. He crossed his arms. "What did he mean when he said you owed him a meal?"

"It's a long story."

"We have time," he replied in a throbbing heart.

"Well, we can't stand here all day, let's go to Xueyue's room to discuss it." Duchess Wang Qixing turned to the maid Jinxia and said, "Prepare afternoon tea and cakes. Xueyue recommends rice cakes, and Chenyang recommends biscuits."

Jin Xia immediately bowed. "Right away, ma'am," she said before leaving.

Arriving at Xueyue's room, she began to tell what happened in the Beijing stables. As the story began with the shameless and violent Bai Tianai, the faces of Duchess Wang Qixing and Li Chenyang became more and more gloomy. When she finished the story of Wen Jinkai's actual blackmail, both of them seemed unhappy.

Duchess Wang Qixing frowned. "This Bai Tianai is so brave. Tomorrow I will go to the monthly private party hosted by Madam Wenxuan Wang. I will deliberately drag down the Bai family. She must pay the price for her shamelessness."

Li Chenyang was even more angry at Wen Jinkai. "It's a good idea, mother, but Wen Jinkai is just as despicable and shameless. He threatened to inform the emperor. This man is even more shameless than we thought."

"Shameless informer..." Li Xueyue complained in a low voice.

Duchess Wang Qixing couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Well, I'm glad you found a loophole in this situation, but I don't think he is so immoral to target you like this. He must have his reasons."

Li Chenyang looked at his mother like she was crazy. Did she really have to see the good in everyone? “Mom, you can’t be serious.”

"Oh, but I..." Duchess Wang Qixing frowned. "He makes us Minghua very happy."

Li Chenyang cursed inwardly. So, standing on his father's side and keeping his mother in the dark might not be the best idea... If only his mother knew how Wen Jinkai treated Minghua in the palace...
