Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Dinner passed quickly.

Li Xueyue has eaten a little more than herself these past few days, but it is nothing compared to how much she could eat before.

The only reason she ate more that night was because the twins kept stuffing food into her bowl. It was like they were forcing her to eat. Everyone was watching her like a hawk, making sure she ate well.

Li Xueyue had no choice but to eat it all. After dinner, she slipped a small note to the Duke, who was then delivered to Han Jian by a messenger pigeon.

"Another peaceful day." Li Xueyue said to herself after entering the room. She had nothing to do but wait for the herbs to boil. She sighed secretly, knowing that this cup of bitter wine was too hard to drink.

Li Xueyue walked to the dressing table and opened a drawer. She took out a small bottle of hypnotic medicine that the doctor had asked for and checked it. She was sure that the doctor knew her plan. This was not a simple hypnotic medicine.

“I just hope I never have to use it on anyone else,” Li Xueyue said, putting the things back in the drawer, but something else caught her eye. Yu Zhen’s pendant. It was right next to her.

Li Xueyue couldn't help but ponder. She could swear that Hanjian had no tradition of giving pendants to relatives, but she thought the act of doing so was still important.

Li Xueyue wondered if there would ever be a day when she would have to use Yuzhen’s pendant to protect herself. She hoped and prayed that day would never come, because it would mean that the danger was too great for her to handle on her own…

The next few days went by smoothly. Xueyue didn't know that she would leave for Hanjian tomorrow morning.

Li Xueyue paced back and forth in her room. Was the carrier pigeon lost? She had not received any news from Yu Zhen about the postponement of her return to Hanjian.

The Lee family's turmoil has finally passed. This morning, the family issued an order to update the capital's bulletin board near City Hall.

The royal family's evil deeds were exposed to the nation, from the abuse of servants to the outflow of private funds.

As a result, the second and fourth princes' claims to the throne were withdrawn. Even if they wanted to do so, no one would support them. The second prince was already seriously ill, and the fourth prince was seriously injured and unconscious.

But all this still did not make Li Xueyue feel at ease.

"I must go to Han to prevent them from speaking out against Li's ascension to the throne...but Yu Zhen hasn't agreed to me yet, what should I do..." She lowered her voice.

She stopped pacing when she heard a knock on the door. She turned and called to the man, "Come in."

The door was pushed open by the servant, and King Li Chenyang walked in. His attention was directly transferred to her.

“Xueyue, you seem to have some burden.” King Li Shenyang noticed Xueyue’s posture and said.

Her left arm was across her stomach, her right elbow resting on her left hand, her right hand touching her chin. What was she thinking? Her posture reminded him of when Chen Yang was under great pressure.

Li Xueyue lowered her hands. "I'm just worried. It's been several days since I heard from Yu Zhen. It seems the situation has changed. Now I have to wonder if my message was delivered successfully."

King Li Chenyang laughed out loud after hearing her words. If he were in her situation, he would also be worried.

"He is a mean man. You asked him to wait for your letter, but he sent the carrier pigeon back so slowly." said Lord Li Chenyang.

Hearing the Duke's words, Li Xueyue straightened up. Hope filled her. Doesn't this mean that Yu Zhen did react?

King Li Chenyang was so amused by her actions that he burst into laughter. It seemed that she wanted to see Yu Zhen very much. He had never seen so much joy in her eyes, unless they talked about Yu Zhen.

"It's just as you expected." King Li Chenyang said. He walked closer to her, stretched out his hand, and revealed a small parchment in his palm. "He finally replied."

"Can I?" Li Xueyue pointed her finger at his open palm and asked.

Li Chenyang nodded. He found it interesting that despite the many years she had spent with them, she was still so polite. His smile faded a little when he remembered what had made her so polite in the first place.

Li Xueyue took the note from her father. She noticed that the Duke respected her privacy. The small piece of parchment was not unpacked at all. She unfolded it and read the message.

"Just because you asked."

Li Xueyue tilted her head. Is this a sure thing? Or no?

"What did he say?" asked Li Chenyang.

Li Xueyue held up the note for him to read. He narrowed his eyes and frowned.

"Well, you answered vaguely, worthy of a child." King Li Chenyang smiled. "I think we can take it as a certainty. You can postpone your trip to Hanjian."

"Really?" Li Xueyue asked softly, panting. Doesn't that mean she will have to witness Li Chenyang being crowned as the new emperor of Wuyi?

Lord Li Chenyang nodded. "Even if the Han ministers object, I will only blame their crown prince for his foolish reaction."

Li Xueyue smiled at her father's subtle attack on Zhen. Let her father have the guts to insult a prince. "When will the coronation take place?"

"Very quickly, in less than a week," King Li Chenyang replied. "Your mother has ordered the clothes you will wear on that day. The wedding gowns[1] for your wedding have also been ordered."

Li Xueyue blushed at his words. Everything that had been falling apart was falling into place. She couldn't believe how much had happened in this year. The idea of ​​getting married alone was too surreal for her.

"My dear, you did a great job," Li Chenyang said affectionately. He never expected that the youngest child in the family would be the first to get married.

"Thank you..." Li Xueyue responded timidly. Until now, she still didn't know how to respond to compliments.

"Xueyue, you make me very proud." King Li Chenyang added. "I look forward to you doing great things."

"I won't let you down, father."

"You never have, and you never will," Lord Li Chenyang said. He placed a loving hand on her shoulder. "Don't let us down. No matter what happens in Han, the Li family will stand by you."

Li Xueyue didn't know that the Duke knew her feelings. How could he know that she was afraid of disappointing the family that had given her everything, and she had nothing to give in return?

"Even if your sins are enough to stain your sleeves red, the Lee family won't mind. You are our daughter and we will always protect you. If anyone dares to tease you, make sure you make them the laughing stock of the town."

Hearing this, Li Xueyue opened her lips. Was he allowing her to act? Or was he hinting that the future would be dangerous? She thought it was both.

"But that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider our family name. I know you will consider it, without a doubt. So, I'm not worried about your behavior. You have always been a smart lady." Li Gong Shenyang added.

A warm smile appeared on the corner of his lips. King Li Chenyang didn't know when he began to cherish her.

Was it when he found her mangled body in the forest? Was it when he first saw her? Was it when he looked out the window and saw her teaching the twins?

She did so much in the Li family without realizing it.

If there was one thing he was sure of, it was that Li Xueyue had never let him down. He believed she would never do so, at least not in this life.
