Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

As they moved away from the guest palace, Li Wenmin paused again. "Xiaoyue, did you see what I did there?" he asked, making sure she would learn his methods.

Li Xueyue nodded. "Yes, you made it look like you were talking to them. In fact, it was a strategy to let down their guard and wait for the news to leak out."

"That's true." Li Wenmin chuckled. "Intimidation will only shut a person up. We have to be kind so they'll be willing to share."

"We can be assured of one thing," Li Wenmin added. "Yu Zhen is not going to Hanjian."

Li Xueyue nodded in agreement, and was immediately relieved. However, it was suddenly replaced by uncertainty. If he was not going to Hanjian, then where did he go? He had nothing else to deal with.

Wuyi was still a foreign territory to Yu Zhen. Unless, he had a friend here? She ruled out this possibility. It didn't make sense at all.

Li Xueyue said: "If he really wants to go to Hanjian, the soldiers will definitely know the weather conditions in advance and prepare. Since they are not sure about the weather on the way to Hanjian, it means that their final destination is somewhere else."

"Yes, they didn't study the weather because there was no need. The route to Hanjian was not their destination in the first place." Li Wenmin nodded. "There is a reason why I pretended to be friendly and offered them a helping hand."

He looked around and found that several palace servants were looking at this place curiously.

"There are too many people here, let's go home now."

Li Xueyue did not respond. She also saw those glances. She waited for Li Wenmin to take the first step before accompanying him, thinking of his shadow. According to the rules, servants must never step into the shadow of their masters, because this is one of the greatest forms of disrespect.

“What do you mean he left?” Li Chenyang frowned and crossed his arms irritably. It was a waste of time for them to go to the palace.

"He didn't go to Hanjian, that's for sure." Li Wenmin sighed. "But it is said that he has left the capital. His servants are moving his things."

"Hmm." Li Chenyang snorted, stroking his chin, thinking about something. "Well, there's not much we can do. We can't force his men to obey us and answer our questions. They belong to different jurisdictions."

Li Xueyue took a sip of tea and nodded.

"Unless, we have influence over them?"

Li Xueyue spat out the tea.

The twins turned their heads to look at her at the same time.

"Xiaoyue, is there a problem?"

"Yeah, what's wrong, Yueyue?"

"Oh, stop using that nickname!" Li Wenmin trembled with disgust. "It's so embarrassing!"

"Shut up, you're just jealous that I have a better nickname."

"By the way, the nickname Yueyue is nice? Who said that?! Everyone in the family, even the servants, know that Xiaoyue is cuter."

"Bah, they told you that because they know how fragile and sensitive you are inside."

“Pfft, is that how you comfort yourself?” Li Wenmin chuckled and shook his shoulders deliberately. “Poor you! You only read books, but no book can make you creative.”

"Oh, let me show you an idea." Li Chenyang frowned and stood up from his chair.

"Brother, come find me!" Li Wenmin pounded his chest, ready to be beaten.

"When you run out crying, you better not cry to your mother," Li Chenyang challenged, taking a dangerous step toward his overconfident twin.

"You better not complain to Dad about what I'm about to do to you."

"Hey, not everyone is the crybaby Wenmin, hey! How dare you pull my hair?!" Li Chenyang roared and kicked Li Wenmin's calf roughly.

"It doesn't hurt at all!" Li Wenmin said defensively, picking up the teacup beside him. Suddenly, he realized something.

"Uh, where's Xiaoyue?"

Li Chenyang's brows knitted together in confusion. What was this idiot talking about? He turned his head and saw that Li Xueyue was gone. What? She was here a second ago. Where did she go?

Li Wenmin put the teacup back on the table. He decided to be a civilized person today. "Did she abandon us again because we were too loud?"

"Ha, maybe she's just tired of your annoying voice." Li Chenyang laughed.

“I’m sure she’s more annoyed by your ‘Oh, I’m smart because I read a lot of books, so look at me!’ behavior!” Li Wenmin retorted, deliberately lowering his voice to imitate his younger brother.

"I wouldn't talk like that." Li Chenyang grabbed his brother's collar and roared.

“Oh, but you did!” Li Wenmin laughed, “Brother, you are so unlucky, you sound like a grandpa.”

“It’s much better than talking and acting like a five-year-old.”

Li Wenmin gasped. "I don't behave like a five-year-old. Take that back!"

Li Chenyang snickered. “Oh, but you did!” He deliberately raised his voice to imitate his elder brother.

Li Wenmin was offended by his brother again. "You are so rude, and--"

“I got it!” Li Xueyue shouted.

Finally, the twins focused on no one but themselves. Standing in the doorway was a slightly breathless Yukizuki. She looked like she had rushed back into this place.

"Xiaoyue, where have you been?" Li Wenmin asked.

"Yeah, Yueyue, where have you been?"

“Stop imitating me!” Li Wenmin yelled, his face wrinkled like a disobedient, angry child.

“When you start to show your age, I’ll stop.” Li Chenyang sneered.

"So never." Li Xueyue had a blank expression.

"Xiaoyue, you should stand on my side." Li Wenmin pouted.

"In my defense," Li Xueyue said thoughtfully, "I never said Yueyue was a great nickname."

Li Chenyang opened his mouth wide. "It's a great nickname, and you like it. So take it back now, Yueyue."

Li Xueyue wrinkled her nose. "Neither of you behaves in a way that suits your age. The oldest behaves like the youngest, and the youngest behaves like the oldest." She snorted and walked into the room.

"That's because Wenmin might have been dropped on his head when he was a child."

"I'm not!"

Li Xueyue tried not to roll her eyes. She couldn't wait for the day when these quarreling brothers could live in harmony. She leaned back in her chair and took a sip of tea to quench her thirst.

"So, Yueyue," Li Chenyang emphasized the nickname, "what happened? You suddenly left the room."

“Yeah, I’ll go get something.” Li Xueyue nodded and put the things she brought from the room on the table. It was neatly wrapped in her handkerchief.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyue?" Li Wenmin asked as he analyzed the object, which was of a decent size.

"My dear brothers," she pointed at the silk cloth, "this is the key that will allow Yu Zhen's men to speak."
