Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

The days passed leisurely and a week passed quickly.

Duchess Li Qixing requested an imperial decree to make Xueyue her legitimate daughter. Because Duchess Li Qixing had a deep connection with the imperial palace, the imperial decree was issued within three days, and soon, Bai Xueyue inherited the title of the Li family.

Her official name is Li Xueyue.

Duke Li Chenyang ensured that the entire ordeal was kept secret. None of the nosy scholars and backstabbing ministers heard a whisper about what had transpired.

Each servant is loyal to their master, as most of them are hand-picked by the Duke and Duchess, while the rest are people who have been given a second chance at life. Quite a few servants were once street orphans and social undesirables, and the Lee family gave them a place to stay.

Because the servants were well treated, slept warmly, ate well, dressed well, and had high wages, they were very loyal. No one told anyone about what happened during these seven days, and no one dared to tell anyone.

However, what Mr. and Mrs. Li were most concerned about was not the reaction of the court, but how their eldest sons, Li Wenmin and Li Chenyang, would react. They were already eighteen years old, and it would be difficult to force them to have a new brother or sister.

If they don't like someone, it's extremely difficult to overturn their decision. Xueyue doesn't want to suddenly barge into their lives and ask to be their sister. Instead, she wants to get to know them slowly.

When Duchess Li Qixing offered Xueyue a chance to make a good introduction, she declined. She knew a forced introduction wouldn't be a good start to their relationship. She wanted to meet them naturally.

But two days passed, and Xueyue hadn't seen any of them. She knew they were always somewhere in the vast manor. After hesitating for a while and asking a few servants, she finally discovered that the twins' favorite place was the training ground behind the Li Mansion.

The training ground was a large open space behind the Lee residence. There was luscious green grass that seemed to stretch for miles. The Lee twins were often spotted practicing swordplay or horseback riding in the area. Although neither of the boys were that good with archery, there were a few targets on the field.

Stepping onto the open field, Xueyue was tying her long hair into a ponytail. The spring breeze blew past, and the corners of her rosy lips curled up, brushing her hair. She walked into the field wearing a fitted training robe and holding a bow and quiver in her hands.

Archery was a sport she was very good at, she had no idea where or how she learned it, but in the end, it was the only thing she could find joy in. However, the joy did not last long, and the Viscountess forbade Setsuzuki from taking lessons. The Viscountess was worried that the sport would make her too masculine to attract suitors. In order to do everything she could to please her mother, she gave up sports such as martial arts, swordplay, and horseback riding.

At first, Xueyue was reluctant to practice other hobbies. But the Viscountess convinced Leiyu to accept things that were not suitable for her. The naive little Xueyue believed in him more than anyone else in the world. So she forced her strong fingers to practice the piano until her fingers bled. In order to shape her strong body into a "perfect noble daughter" who was good at flower dance, she starved herself. Her fingers were often pricked by embroidery, and her hands were always wrapped in bandages. All this she did was to win the hearts of the Viscountess and Leiyu. She never received anything.

Xueyue tried hard to drive away those unpleasant thoughts. The more she thought about them, the more she felt the desire for revenge burning in her heart.

She bent down and pulled out a piece of grass. She rubbed it with her hands, making sure they were dry. Letting the grass fall, Xueyue could analyze where the wind was coming from.

If you want to be good at archery, you must first be good at wind.

As the wind was blowing from the west, she adjusted her body and found the right position. "Take a deep breath..." she whispered to herself as she loaded the first arrow.

In the distance, two young men were staring at the snowy moon. They sat under a willow tree, whose long branches blocked out the bright sunlight. Following the strict instructions of Li Chenyang, the young men had started training since early in the morning. Their lessons had already gone deep into the afternoon, and their teacher had left only a few minutes ago.

"Chenyang, what do you think are the chances of her hitting the bull's eye?" Li Wenmin leaned against the tree bark and tilted his head to look at his brother.

Li Chenyang, the quiet and cold brother, stared at the girl. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his dark eyes. "With a thin body, thin arms, and a shaky posture, I doubt it." He answered softly.

Li Wenmin nodded in agreement, but she was a little confused. She was indeed very weak, but her posture seemed flawless. It was as if she had practiced this action many times. "Mom has decided to adopt her as our sister."

Chen Yang was in a low mood. His eyes tore the girl apart, seeing every detail of her.

Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, her skin was as clear as rare white jade, her hazel eyes were fiercer than any girl he had ever seen, but her features were as soft and delicate as a porcelain doll, and he understood why his mother would love to give it to the girl.

She was breathtakingly beautiful in her youth, and no doubt her beauty would blossom as she aged. Duchess Li Qixing had not only been given a daughter, but a suitable one in case the Li family needed more wealth.

"The first night she entered our manor, I sneaked into her room and wanted to take a look at her. When she closed her eyes, she looked somewhat similar to our Minghua. But now she is awake and has her eyes open, and I can't see her appearance. "No longer similar..." Li Wenmin's voice gradually tapered off, and seeing Chen Yang's gloomy face, he stopped talking.

Li Chenyang roared in a low voice: “Don’t talk about her.” Speaking of Li Minghua’s name is like a taboo. His parents may have seen the innocent angel in her heart, but he knows the truth. Li Minghua is not an angel.

Li Chenyang's eyes never left Xueyue. She was re-adjusting the tightness of the strings of her zither. The more he looked at her, the more uneasy he felt. "She doesn't belong here—"

Xueyue had already shot the arrow. With a soft "bang", it flew into the air.

Li Wenmin held his breath.

boom!

Li Wenmin couldn't believe his eyes. The arrow landed perfectly in the center of the farthest target. "Impossible..." he gasped in shock.

"What good luck." Chen Yang muttered.

Xueyue loaded the second arrow. Now that her bowstring was tuned and the wind had eased, she was ready to perform.

Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, Xueyue shot the second arrow.

boom!

Chen Yang felt his throat tighten.

The second arrow not only hit the center, but also split the first arrow in half.

"Another shot--" As Xueyue shot the third arrow, Chenyang's voice stopped abruptly. This time, it passed through the second arrowhead.

Then she loaded a fourth arrow, until all five were used up.

Li Wenmin and Li Chenyang couldn't believe their eyes. Each arrow broke the previous arrow, and she aimed at the farthest target.
