Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Xueyue was thankful for her veil, otherwise her confused expression would have revealed everything.

Li Xueyue forced herself to stay calm. She had a lot to say to King Li Dao and wanted to get his answer. Why did he rape Viscountess Mu Yihua?

"Why... didn't he contact me?" Li Xueyue stared at her fingers. Was she really so unworthy of love that even her biological father didn't want her?

A wave of emotion washed over her. Viscount Bai Sheng's mocking words flashed through her mind. "You should be glad that I took you in! No one in this world would love an unruly and dirty illegitimate daughter like you! No one!"

Li Xueyue had trouble breathing. Her throat was tight and her lungs were burning. She refused to dwell on the past, but she had no choice. Every night when she woke up, Li Xueyue would think of the insults and abuses she had suffered.

"Go ahead and reveal my father's secret," Li Wenmin said proudly. "But who will believe you? Once you reveal his, he will reveal yours. Believe me, yours is much worse than my father's."

"That's where you're wrong, kid." Li Taojun smacked his lips. "The secrets I hold are enough to ruin the Li family's reputation for your entire life. Once your father's plan gets out, you won't have to worry about seven generations of the family being wiped out."

"What are you talking about?" Li Wenmin squinted his eyes in anger. He knew his uncle was hinting at treason - something he had never thought of.

"Well, you should worry about the torture your parents will endure. No one can stop the Shadow Guards. They will ambush your family and take away all your hopes and aspirations. When the time comes, I will wait for a plea from your kneeling father."

"The day my father knelt down to you was when it snowed in the summer." Li Wenmin was furious, his fingers itching to grab the sword. He wanted to kill this man on the spot.

"How pitiful your mother is... Such a beautiful woman, if it weren't for the crime she committed, she would have been violated in the worst way."

Instantly, Li Wenmin drew his sword. In the blink of an eye, he had grabbed his uncle's throat, the tip of the sword pressed against the fragile flesh. "Don't let my mother get a word in. I will kill you without hesitation."

"Pfft, hahaha!" Li Taojun laughed crazily, his eyes full of mania. "Come on! Kill me! I have no other reason to live!"

Li Wenmin glared at him.

Lord Li Taojun put his throat close to the sword, begging for the taste of metal from his mouth. He would be happy to die as a martyr. His death would be a catalyst to arouse the royal family's hatred against the Li family.

"Kill me you coward! Do it. Quickly! What are you waiting for?!" Li Daojun roared, pushing and stabbing his nephew. "Kill me now! Put me out of my pain."

Li Wenmin’s grip on the sword tightened. He was willing to risk everything to plunge this sword into his uncle’s neck. Twice his uncles had betrayed him. Twice they had focused on their own motives and ignored the issues at hand. Both had been in the palace when Li Minghua lived there. And neither of these scums had offered her a helping hand.

Yes. Lee Do-joon's death will definitely be revenge for Ming-hwa. She will want this.

Li Wenmin raised his hand, ready to thrust the blade straight into Li Taojun, but someone immediately grabbed his arm, with great force, but not enough to overwhelm the general.

Loud gasps could be heard. With his clothes disheveled and his legs on his knees, the Second Prince of Wuyi had appeared.

"Let go of my mentor, General Li Wenmin."

Li Xueyue was startled by the second prince's sudden appearance. She knew nothing about him except that he was sick and always stayed in his room. She didn't expect that the pale beauty in front of her was actually the second prince.

His face was unnaturally pale. Surprisingly, his build was neither muscular nor extremely thin. His complexion was good, but what was most striking was his undeniable resemblance to the Empress. If she appeared in a male body, it would be the Second Prince here.

Li Xueyue was a little surprised. No one had ever said how handsome the second prince was. Of course, this was none of her business, and she immediately looked away. She took a step back cautiously and adjusted her posture.

If he didn't intervene, her identity would be exposed. She was prepared to stop Li Wenmin from making the biggest mistake of her life.

"I knew that your servant was no ordinary one. How dare you not kneel before the Second Prince?!" Lord Li Taojun pointed at the only standing maid with a stern finger.

Li Xueyue immediately knelt down in front of the Second Prince. "This servant was wrong. I meant no harm, Your Majesty."

Li Wenmin froze, his pupils dilated. The Li family didn't need to kneel down to anyone, not even the royal family. Even if her identity wasn't revealed, he didn't care.

Li Wenmin bared his teeth and angrily said, "Shut up you bastard!"

"Wenmin." The Second Prince gently chided, his voice soft and mellow. Being a patient and considerate man, he placed a hand on his cousin's shoulder. "Your uncle means no harm."

"And you," Li Wenmin frowned, "stop defending him! It's because of your favor that he feels so high and mighty that he is even inferior to the dirt under my shoes."

The second prince Wang Jing shook his head. "He is my mentor Wenmin, I must protect him, otherwise I will lose my powerful means."

Li Xueyue had not expected his tone to be so kind and gentle. She wondered if his absence from the palace had shielded him from the cruelty of the world. His tone was so pleasant and soft that she thought he was telling a child a bedtime story.

"If possible, you should not kill him." The second prince Wang Jing muttered.

Li Wenmin glared at him fiercely and shook his hand away. "Don't touch me," he said harshly.

"Wenmin." The second prince Wang Jing said. "I understand your anger. My mentor is a madman who is not afraid of death. If you kill him now, you can only fulfill his last wish."

Li Wenmin gritted his teeth. He thought about what his cousin said and admitted that he was right. If he killed Li Taojun, things would be too messy.

Li Wenmin would rather die than succumb to Li Daojun's fantasy that his death was meaningful.

"Tsk." He reluctantly put the sword back into the sheath. Only then did he realize that there was only one servant beside the Second Prince.

She looked breathless, as if she already knew what was going to happen. It would not be surprising if she hurried to lure the Second Prince out.

Li Wenmin glared at her. Like Li Xueyue, she wore a veil that covered most of her face, except for her single eyelids. There was nothing special about her appearance, but he found it strange that the Second Prince was walking around with only one servant. It wasn't until their eyes met that he suddenly felt a shock in his body. It was as if he had stared into those eyes before.

"Who is this?" He nodded to the maid. He frowned when she didn't look away. Her attention was focused on him, her eyes wide with shock.

"What on earth are you looking at?" Li Wenmin asked sternly.

She seemed even more surprised by his tone and stepped back, as if she couldn't believe he was being so mean.

"Alright, alright, Wenmin." The second prince Wang Jing stood in front of the maid, protecting her. "She is just a girl who doesn't know right from wrong. This is the first time I've seen someone so violent and threatening the emperor's guard dog."

"A maid who has never been scolded? I find that hard to believe."

The second prince, Wang Jing, put a hand on Li Wenmin's shoulder. "She is very special to me. I have known her for some time. She obeys no one except me. Please forgive her rudeness. I will reprimand her when I return home."

"Whatever," Li Wenmin whispered, crossing his arms. "Let her be obedient. My servant didn't even bow before me, but was forced to kneel before you. I don't think it's fair."

"Your servant..." The second prince, Wang Jing, turned his gaze to the only visible servant. "Oh, she's wearing a veil. What a coincidence. What flaw is she trying to hide?"

"This is none of your business." Li Wenmin said sternly, shaking off his cousin's hand.

The second prince Wang Jing smiled at his grumpy cousin. He was used to Li Wenmin's arrogant character. "I didn't mean to offend her. You see, my servant also had flaws that she wanted to hide, but now it has healed."

"I don't care." Li Wenmin sighed and reached out to pick up Li Xueyue from her feet. It all happened so suddenly that he was a little unprepared. Damn it. He almost exposed her identity.

"You are so kind to me," said the Second Prince Wang Jing with a smile. He seemed genuinely pleased with Li Wenmin's treatment. "I am glad to know that I am not the only one who dotes on my favorite servant."

Li Wenmin rolled his eyes. "Don't block my way."
