Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

"Let's go, Black Moon!" Li Xueyue climbed onto the horse's back and said happily. She urged Black Moon to move forward. He walked excitedly in the direction of the clearing. Finally, he broke into a trot, and soon the two of them were galloping in the familiar direction of the forest.

As they got closer to the forest, Li Xueyue felt her heart almost beat out of her chest. She was excited at the thought of her future being secure.

A few months ago, everything seemed so bleak and helpless. She thought her fate would always be in Wuyi, but now she felt that all her worries were stupid and futile.

Li Xueyue finally accepted the inevitable fact that she would fall in love for the last time in her life. No matter what happened next, she would decide for herself what to do. No matter what troubles and storms she encountered, as long as Yu Zhen was by her side, everything seemed insignificant.

"Good boy." Li Xueyue whispered, and Heiyue slowly strode forward. They were now in the forest, and she was greeted by the familiar path she had walked before.

“Well, if I remember correctly, it was Yu Zhen who took me out from that direction…” Li Xueyue whispered while urging Heiyue to move forward.

The deeper she went into the forest, the more certain she was of her direction. The trees were all the same, but the plants around them were not. She remembered clearly the path Yu Zhen had taken when he rode her back to the Li Mansion.

"How strange." Li Xueyue muttered softly.

The forest was silent. Not a soul was disturbed. The small animals ran freely and jumped as they pleased. There was a calm in the air. A quiet breeze passed by her, blowing her long hair and making it flutter in the wind. The air smelled of mold and earth, as if there was no sign of any human activity.

No more soldiers' noise. No more campfire cooking in the air.

Heiyue continued to walk in the direction she wanted. Finally, Li Xueyue rode her horse to the place where people were supposed to be, but there was no one there.

“What happened…?” she said.

A quiet breeze blew, revealing the sunken ground without people. Her smile faded. The soldiers were gone. There were no tents, no campfires, no troops, no people in sight except some scattered wood and the charred wood from the extinguished campfire.

Was this why Yu Zhen never contacted her? Because he was busy packing?

"Let's go," Li Xueyue whispered. He must have ventured deeper into the forest. He had to.

Yu Zhen would not leave her like this. She was sure of it.

The longer they rode, the more anxious Li Xueyue became. Finally, they stopped at the open space leading to the tent where the Bai family was imprisoned. But to her horror, even that place was empty.

There was not even a drop of blood on the ground. Yu Zhen and his group came quickly and left quickly. There was almost no trace of civilization that had settled there for a short time. No trace of human activity was found.

Li Xueyue finally accepted the fact. Yu Zhen was gone.

"Mom, where is Xueyue?" Li Chenyang said after finding his mother in the garden.

Duchess Wang Qixing had a distant look on her face as she gently stroked the hydrangeas.

Li Chenyang's throat went dry as he watched his mother's gentle movements. It was as if his mother thought she was caressing Li Minghua's face.

Even my sister's name sounds like a flower, a prominent and bright flower destined to bloom to its fullest.

Li Minghua was very lucky, everything went smoothly. His mother was a wealthy princess and his father was a prominent prime minister.

Li Chenyang was in a heavy mood. Must she leave so soon?

Li Chenyang glanced down at his hands. His fingers were marked from holding the paintbrush for too long. There were many things he could have done for Minghua, but he didn't, all because he couldn't get away from her frequent betrayals. If there was one thing Li Minghua loved to do, it was to tell on her brothers.

"Mother...?" Li Chenyang called out, not knowing if it was the first time she heard it.

Duchess Wang Qixing blinked in surprise. She put her hands down and turned to her son. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Li Chenyang frowned. His mother was not in a daze like him. She was always quick-witted, clear-minded, and never missed a detail. There was a reason why rumors about her never spread. Her sharp tongue kept people in place.

"I'm asking where Xueyue is. She's not in her room, nor in the training grounds. Her horse is missing. Did she go riding?"

"Well, your sister is pursuing her future." Duchess Wang Qixing said vaguely. She put down the watering can, thinking that the flowers had received enough attention from her today. But when she turned her back to it, it called her again.

Li Chenyang read the meaning between the lines. His cold expression was replaced by pure anger. "Mom, you just let her go after Yuzhen?!"

"Don't be so loud at me." Duchess Wang Qixing sneered. "What's wrong with you, son? You're starting to lose your cool more and more. This is not good for you, especially for your future plans."

Li Chenyang sighed and nodded in agreement. "Sorry, I just--"

"No need to explain," Duchess Wang Qixing assured him, smiling up at him and patting his cheek to reassure him. "I know you are tired of carrying the burden of being an emperor. It will all be over soon."

Li Chenyang nodded slowly. "The meeting will be here soon."

Duchess Wang Qixing blinked. "It is."

"Except Xueyue, the whole family will be there," Li Chenyang whispered. "If she were here, there would be more problems, and Wen Jinkai might even want to use her bet to buy his loyalty."

"Well, we can't be sure if he will betray the Queen. But once his mother's crimes are exposed, perhaps things will be different."

Li Chenyang listened to her and nodded slowly. "I just hope he has the conscience to admit his mistakes."

"That boy, no matter how irritating and frustrating he is, is one of the most pathetic people I know," Duchess Wang Chil-sung whispered. "His behavior toward our Ming-hua was despicable, but he has no one in the world except the Queen."

Li Chenyang was too lazy to refute her. He knew it was true. Wen Jinkai had only a handful of friends, and the ones he knew, he didn’t trust. The only person who kept him sane was Li Minghua. The only person he trusted completely was her. Now, look where she was.

Li Chenyang frowned. "I don't have time to pity him. I don't care about his background or what shaped him into who he is today. I only care about the actions he took that made him transcend reality." Eyes. "

Duchess Wang Qixing’s expression softened a little. She wouldn’t make excuses for his behavior either, but the thought of that lonely man troubled her. Wen Jinkai’s life has been full of pain and despair since he was born. This kind of person is the most unpredictable.

Wen Jinkai has nothing to lose.
