Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

The next morning, Li Xueyue woke up with a plan in mind. If Yu Zhen didn't take the initiative to contact her, she would take the initiative first. He had already made it clear what he wanted from her.

Soon after the lively breakfast ended, Li Xueyue came to Duchess Wang Qixing, who was taking care of the garden as usual. The air was fresh and full of sweet floral scents. Li Xueyue took a deep breath, and her lungs were filled with a sense of tranquility.

It’s almost that time of year when hydrangeas are at their most beautiful, displaying shades of blush, lavender and sky blue.

Li Xueyue couldn't help but admire the beauty of the clusters of flowers. No wonder the Duchess liked them so much. Even from a distance, this variety was eye-catching.

In order for hydrangeas to bloom fully and receive good shade, special care is required. Every flower here is carefully cared for by the Duchess.

"Mother." Li Xueyue walked over to the Duchess who was doing artificial pollination.

"Honey, is there any problem?" Duchess Wang Qixing raised her head and asked Li Xueyue standing next to her.

"It's about Yu Zhen."

“Well, he’s always a problem, isn’t he? Most men are.” Duchess Wang Qixing smiled as she recalled the good times she had with her annoying husband when she was young. He was the biggest problem in her life, and almost all conflicts seemed to be related to him.

"He hasn't reached out yet." Li Xueyue confessed, and the smile on Duchess Wang Qixing's face disappeared.

"What a troublesome man, especially after he made his intentions clear to you. Well, I guess I was too harsh on him." Duchess Wang Qixing frowned slightly. "I am disappointed in his behavior towards you."

Li Xueyue nodded. "I want to see him. I think he's still in the forest. It should be no problem to ride with Black Moon."

Duchess Wang Qixing was puzzled by her daughter's words. "Have you decided? Is this your final decision?"

"My final decision...?"

Duchess Wang Qixing stopped taking care of the hydrangea and let the beautiful flower grow naturally. "You once told me that your plan was to stay in Wuyi and make a fortune. If you go with him now, my dear girl, your fate will no longer be entangled here. A new life will begin in Hanjian. Are you ready?"

Li Xueyue blinked. Was she destined to spend her whole life in Hanjian? With Yu Zhen? Her mind flashed back to his charming smile, his teasing, and the amusement written all over his face when she did something stupid. She missed him all the time.

It was time to take control of her future and destiny. No one would make decisions for her. "Just a change of environment." was her only answer.

Duchess Wang Qixing smiled gently. "I knew one day my little bird would fly away from the nest, but I didn't expect the first bird would be my youngest bird."

Hearing her mother's enthusiastic response, Li Xueyue felt relieved. It seemed that the Duchess was not disappointed with her decision.

"I've been waiting, my dear girl," said Duchess Wang Chil-sung. "The day will come when you can decide things for yourself without worrying about burdening us. That will never happen, by the way."

Hearing her mother’s words, Li Xueyue blinked. “Does mom know my biggest fear?” she asked herself.

Duchess Wang Qixing looked at Li Xueyue's confused expression and smiled even more brightly. "You are destined to achieve greater things in life, but these are impossible in Wuyi."

"Everything happened too easily. I feel like I cheated my future." Li Xueyue admitted. "My plan to destroy the Bai family is something I have to achieve through my own efforts, blood, sweat, and tears."

“Things never go as planned,” Duchess Wang Chil-sing assured.

"Yu Zhen stole your satisfaction, it's not your fault. He mobilized his people and got rid of your worries, it's not your fault either. This is his decision, not someone else's. Maybe you influenced him, but he was the one who made the final decision. He did it."

Li Xueyue crossed her fingers. She had already read these decrees. The Bai family signed two things: the transfer of enterprise ownership, and the payment of royalties. Only the former would be enforced. The latter would be disposed of because there was no need to do so.

Until now, Li Xueyue didn't know what happened to the Bai family. They were brutally tortured, but did they die? Were their bodies properly handled? She had a hunch that the cruel Yu Zhen would never let them die so easily.

"I just want you to answer one thing for me." Duchess Wang Qixing said. "Do you love him?"

Li Xueyue already knew the answer to this question the day they met in his bedroom after Li Xueyue pretended to mistake her for a servant.

When Yu Zhen defended her integrity and reputation, their fate was sealed. The playful smile, the mischievous eyes, the distinctive face, he had been deeply imprinted in her heart.

"I like him very much." Li Xueyue admitted.

"So what are you waiting for, my lovely girl?" Duchess Wang Qixing let out a soft laugh, like the sound of a bell.

Duchess Wang Qixing made a "rush" gesture with her hand. "Go and call your husband. It's time for him to ask for his blessing from us, don't you think?"

Li Xueyue's face lit up when she heard the Duchess' words.

Duchess Wang Qixing chuckled as Li Xueyue opened her arms and held her tightly in her arms. A bright smile bloomed on Li Xueyue's face.

"Thank you, Mom!" Li Xueyue said cheerfully. This was the happiest time Duchess Wang Qixing had seen her in such a long time.

"Silly girl, you don't need to thank your family. Go call your future husband. I hope he can kneel down and ask for my blessing. Even if he asks normally, I will give him my blessing."

Li Xueyue didn't need to be told twice. She rushed out of the garden and ran to the stable. Only, when she rushed to Black Moon, a soldier was on his way to the Li family manor.
