Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Duchess Wang Qixing didn't care that she threw her shoes at the commander, who was also the second prince. Titles were not important to the angry mother. Nothing was done except punishment.

"You spoke very rudely to me," she snapped.

Yu Zhen blinked. Wuyi’s customs are indeed different from those of Hanjiang. “Then I apologize,” he said softly. “That was not my intention.”

Duchess Wang Qixing likes a man who is good at admitting his mistakes. Her anger is boiling slightly. "From now on, I want you to stay away from my daughter. You have caused enough harm."

Yu Zhen didn't understand. He offered to save Xueyue from her predicament, but the woman didn't accept it. Why not? Did he say something wrong?

“If you keep her away from me,” Yu Zhen said, “no one else will have her.”

"Yuzhen." Li Xueyue said in a hissing voice. He knew that this was not the right way to deal with it.

“Just because her reputation is ruined doesn’t mean there won’t be suitors,” said Duchess Wang Chil-sung. “Her title as a princess will overcome any reluctance. Her last name will silence people.”

Li Xueyue was ignored again. She felt like a supporting role in her love story!

Yu Zhen smiled and said, "That's not what I meant." A smile appeared on his lips.

"What did you want to express at that time?" Duchess Wang Qixing asked.

"Every suitor who shows up at the door," he mused, "ends up dead under mysterious circumstances."

Duchess Wang Qixing gasped at this absurdity. "You dare to shed blood in a foreign country? Do you want to provoke a war? It's not that easy to murder a nobleman."

“Who said I wanted to kill them?” Yu Zhen tilted his head. “As far as they know, this man fell on the sword.”

"I will leak your secret and tell people it was you who did it." Duchess Wang Qixing said gritting her teeth.

"That would further destroy Xueyue," Yu Zhen said. "People would know that she knew me. They would say she asked me to kill these nasty people."

Duchess Wang Qixing narrowed her eyes. "You are such a troublesome man, and here I am, thinking I saved my Xueyue from Wen Jinkai, just for her to meet you."

In contrast, Yu Zhen's face became solemn. His eyes finally met Xue Yue's, and Xue Yue hurriedly shook her head. She didn't want him to threaten her mother.

His face softened. She loved her family. He would protect what she loved.

"Why can't I marry her?" Yu Zhen finally asked. "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"Xueyue is only eighteen! Don't you know how young she is?! I know that Hanjian doesn't think highly of marrying a woman who is too young, because your traditions are very different from ours."

Yu Zhen was stunned by the last message. He was five years older than her.

Yu Zhen didn’t know she was so young. Suddenly he felt that something was wrong with their relationship. She was indeed, too young. He knew that Wu Yi accepted the marriage at such a young age, but Han Jian couldn’t tolerate it. Especially the emperor.

Yu Zhen frowned slightly. "If you had told me from the beginning—"

"What? Will you restrain yourself from getting close to her?" Duchess Wang Qixing sneered.

Yu Zhen couldn't remember how many times this family had insulted him.

"He came in peace, Mom." Li Xueyue was glad that she could finally finish her sentence in this argument. Everyone kept interrupting her and said it was difficult to get a word in.

Duchess Wang Qixing sighed through her nose. She knew she had gone too far, but what could she do? This person just wouldn't listen!

"The decree," Li Chenyang said. "You stole it from us. Where is it—"

Li Xueyue looked at Yu Zhen. "He took it for our benefit."

"What are you talking about?" Li Chenyang asked. He watched Yu Zhen reach into the bag beside the horse.

"See for yourself," Yu Zhen said. He threw the scroll to Li Chenyang, who caught it in mid-air.

Li Chenyang put one under his armpit and unfolded another. The most important item was the transfer of ownership. There was a fingerprint signature with clear blood on it. No mistake.

"What are you doing...?" Li Chenyang exhaled.

"Well, the commander has his way." Yu Zhen smiled happily. "I saved you all the trouble."

Li Wenmin scratched the back of his neck. Now the Li family owed him a favor. "Why did you - "

"I'm doing this for Li Xueyue, not for you." Yu Zhen interrupted.

Li Chenyang swallowed his saliva. "Is this a voluntary signing?"

"Does it matter?" Yu Zhen responded.

"Of course," Li Chenyang said. "We can't let the Viscount show up at court and tell us that he signed against his will."

"You never have to worry about him showing up."

"Did you do anything to him?" Li Chenyang asked. He was not sure if he wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Maybe." Yu Zhen said.

Li Chenyang was puzzled. "It would be suspicious if we obtained ownership, but the Viscount suddenly disappeared."

"I think so." Yu Zhen nodded firmly. "In that case, what suggestions do you have?"

Li Wenmin didn't like this voice. "Chenyang, do you mean that you really want to accept his help?"

"It's too late. We've already done this. It's against our free will." Li Chenyang sighed. What had to be done had been done. It was irreversible. "But I appreciate your help."

Yu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally.

"Don't worry." Yu Zhen said again. "I won't use this as a bargaining chip to get Li Xueyue."

Duchess Wang Qixing nodded with satisfaction. So maybe there was still a trace of decency in him.

Xiao Lizi dragged her feet anxiously, already tired of doing nothing. Yu Zhen patted her mane. "You have got what you wanted, Xue Yue and the signed decree."

"Yes, we do." Li Chenyang nodded, not knowing where the conversation would go.

"I'll take my leave now."

Li Xueyue's body froze. Is that it? He didn't even recognize her when she said hello?

Yu Zhen looked at her and smiled. He guessed what she was thinking. "Have we had the same discussion for the tenth time? Our communication is really bad."

"Every time I'm with you, your attitude towards me is different. First you're friendly, then you become cold." Li Xueyue said.

"I was cold to you because you said the wrong thing."

Li Xueyue frowned. "How can I know if you don't tell me?"

"Your conscience and morality should tell you." Yu Zhen explained calmly.

Li Xueyue blinked. Was he... calling her immoral? He was a little neurotic! "You don't even communicate with me when you're angry--"

"You don't know either."

Li Xueyue was stunned. She didn't know she had this bad habit. It was hard to express her thoughts and concerns. The words that Viscount Bai Sheng had instilled in her mind were gradually fading, but they still affected her.

Li Xueyue believed that no matter how much she practiced, she would remember his crude insults.

Women should just shut up, especially little girls like her. He once told her that every time she spoke, her life value would decrease. Her emotions were unimportant, and if Li Xueyue spoke out, she would be considered a nasty woman. At least, that was what she was told.

Seeing her heart broken by his words, Yu Zhen's eyes softened a little. "Consider my proposal wisely. This is the last time I will forgive you."

Yu Zhen knew it was a lie. She was too attractive to him.

Yu Zhen had forgiven her for the wrongs she had done in the past, and would even forgive her for the wrongs she would do in the future. It was in realizing this that Yu Zhen knew he had fallen helplessly in love with her. Only, he wasn't the only one who had fallen.
