Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Yu Zhen immediately approached Li Xueyue, ignoring his sister. He took Xueyue's hands, squeezed them, and looked at her carefully. No one dared to insult the Crown Princess, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Seeing that she had no obvious scars on her body, he nodded with satisfaction.

"You look cute," Yu Zhen complimented in a low voice that only she could hear.

He watched her with amusement as she blinked in surprise. She parted her lips slightly and looked up at him. She always looked at him like that, as if she was surprised to see him. He wondered why.

"I should say that." Li Xueyue said.

"Cute isn't a good enough word to describe me," he mused, and chuckled when she bit her lower lip and looked away.

Yu Zhen wondered if this was also a "planned move". Every time she did something, he couldn't help but think of this sentence. But he had a feeling that everything she showed him was natural and not forced.

"Did I tell you anything about biting your lip?" Yu Zhen said, pinching her chin and lifting her up.

Li Xueyue released her lips, but it was too late. He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then looked around to see that there were people there. But they were just as shocked as she was.

Yu Lingluo was the most shocked, her jaw opened so wide that a fly could fly in. She blinked and rubbed her eyes quickly, unable to believe what she saw.

"I...you...he..." She stammered, unable to speak. It was the first time in her life that she saw her cold-blooded brother kiss someone else.

Hu Dengxiao sneered and looked away, trying to hide his reaction.

Li Xueyue could only cover her mouth in disbelief, her face flushed with shame. Yu Zhen obviously didn't understand her panic, and he leaned over to find out more. She covered his lips with one hand and pushed his head away.

Her heart skipped a beat when he grabbed her wrist. He looked deep into her eyes and kissed her palm, then moved to her fingertips. She pulled her hand away, but his grip tightened.

There was a gleam of mischief in his cold eyes, and a sly smile curved up the corners of his mouth.

"Oh my god, you make me miss my wife, and it's only morning." Wu Xiang said, hoping to break the silence. He fanned himself, trying to avoid the couple. The atmosphere around him was too tense for him.

"Don't do this in front of the children. Look at our third princess, she's so pale with fear," he added.

Although Li Xueyue didn't know him, she nodded and agreed. "I agree with the man in white," she agreed.

Yu Zhen turned his head sharply and glared at his friend. Wu Xiang could also be an enemy.

"I have something to do, get out." Yu Zhen roared.

Wu Xiang laughed. "What are you busy with? Don't scare your wife so early." When the prince narrowed his eyes, he raised his hands in defense.

Wu Xiang saw the prince looking depressed and chuckled to herself. "The wedding is in two days, be patient."

"I hope your will is ready." Yu Zhen hissed.

"why?"

"You'll need it after I'm done with you," Yu Zhen declared.

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows. "You should save your energy for your wedding night—" He narrowly avoided the dagger pointed at his head.

Wu Xiang snorted and continued to fan himself as if his entire life had not flashed before his eyes. "Too violent, my dear prince."

Nevertheless, he looked back. Behind him, a sharp dagger was stuck in a tall pillar. He chuckled, taking great pleasure in the prince's irritation.

He felt a curious gaze on him. Wu Xiang saw her and curled her lips. It seemed that she was the crazy woman who wanted to see the prince.

Wu Xiang had not forgotten what happened that day. It was midnight and she wanted to see him.

He wondered what they were doing alone in a room—hopefully without ruining her reputation.

"Crown Princess." He nodded politely.

Wu Xiang observed her carefully. It seemed that the gossip had revealed the truth. She was indeed as beautiful as the rumors said, but no one mentioned her eyes, which were as clear as daylight and as sharp as a dagger, reflecting all her thoughts.

The Crown Princess looked so innocent, like a little deer walking on shaky legs in the forest. She would make a great photo in the background.

"My name is Wu Xiang. I will be the prime minister from now on and guide your beastly husband." He said.

Wu Xiang closed his fan and blinked. "If you are tired of the prince, I can--"

He whirled around, narrowly missing another knife that was headed for his heart.

"—introducing you to my wife," he concluded.

Wu Xiang gave the prince an arrogant smile. "What do you think I'm going to say?"

"You'd better hold the kids tighter tonight," Yu Zhen roared. "This will be the last time they see their father."

Wu Xiang smiled with a tremor in his eyes. Sometimes... he couldn't tell whether the prince was joking or not. This time, it seemed particularly serious.

To his surprise, the prince put a possessive arm around the princess' waist. It was a move that Wu Xiang almost missed, but he didn't.

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows, and a knowing look flashed across his face. His eyes briefly met Yu Zhen's. Then he lowered his eyes and smiled at the ground. He finally understood what made the prince stay in Wuyi.

"Your Highness, women reject violent men." Wu Xiang said with a slightly chattering voice. He was very happy today, especially after angering the Crown Prince.

“Isn’t it, Princess?” Wuxiang added, looking directly at Li Xueyue. He had expected her to panic under his intense gaze, but she didn’t. When she raised her eyebrows, he was caught off guard.

"Wu Xiang, your source lied to you," she retorted.

Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, but soon calmed down and showed a sly smile. This is very strange. Wuyi women are as weak as willow branches. They sway in the wind, the scenery is beautiful, but they are useless in all aspects.

"Princess, it seems we are nameless," Wu Xiang pointed out. "Then do you mind if I call you by your name?"

"Do not."

Wu Xiang was surprised again. “What-”

"Actually, you should call me the Crown Princess."

Wu Xiang paused. He looked at her in disbelief. Maybe she was really crazy. Where did she learn to be so confident? But then she laughed slowly, and her laughter filled the room. It tickled his ears, like music to his ears.

"It's a joke," she mused. "You look like a deer with an arrow.?

Wuxiang chuckled, knowing that he had just been played by her. He was rarely scared by women, especially the docile girl from Wuyi.

He was not unfamiliar with the way women in that country behaved. They were docile and ignorant, and knew nothing except art. He had never met a female soldier in Wuyi, nor a female official in power in Wuyi.

"That's very interesting, Princess," Wu Xiang said.

He watched her bat her eyelashes innocently, as if she wasn't putting him in an uncomfortable situation, like he did to her when he asked the question.

The Crown Princess' performance exceeded his expectations. But he was the more easy-going one in the group.

Wu Xiang wondered if the Crown Princess could withstand the gazes of multiple men twice her size and three times her strength. Otherwise, she would be eaten alive during the round-table discussion.
