Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

“Are we going to kill them all?” Li Chenyang finally asked his mother, who was crucial to the unfolding of the plan. It would be a midnight ambush by the army.

Duchess Wang Qixing glanced at the hydrangea in front of her. "Let's not discuss this issue in such a public place."

Li Chenyang knew that there was no servant nearby. It was just because the hydrangea reminded his mother of Li Minghua. Li Minghua had everything in the world except happiness and freedom. There were so many resources at her disposal, but she didn't want any of them.

Li Chenyang could only bow his head in respect. He hoped that these flowers would bloom forever.

"Let's go to your father's private study."

"But it's locked." Li Chenyang said.

Duchess Wang Qixing snorted. "He can think whatever he wants."

Li Chenyang was confused by her words until they stopped in front of King Li Chenyang's private study. As usual, the place was heavily guarded.

"Hello, Ling," Duchess Wang Qixing said to no one.

Li Chenyang looked around, wondering if there was a guard with that name here. He met the eyes of every guard here, but no one responded to the name.

Until a shadow fell from the ceiling. Li Chenyang was startled, thinking that a body had fallen beside him.

Ling landed gently on his feet like a sneaky cat. If it weren't for the silence in the corridor, people might have ignored the slightest impact.

"Madam." Ling said with his head lowered.

"I haven't seen you for a long time." Duchess Wang Qixing said thoughtfully.

Ling did not respond. He remained kneeling on one leg, with his fist on the floor and the other hand on his chest.

"I'm about to go into my husband's private study now. Don't worry too much. Just stay outside, okay?"

Ling nodded. "As you wish, ma'am."

Li Chenyang felt that this man looked familiar. He had heard his huge figure and voice when he was young.

Li Chenyang had always wanted to know who did his father's dirty work. Looking at the man in front of him whose entire face was covered except for his eyes, Li Chenyang knew he had the answer.

Duchess Wang Qixing took out a key from her sleeve. Seeing the small key she inserted smoothly, Li Chenyang was stunned. With a slight sound, she pushed open the door, revealing a messy room.

Books were placed randomly, and papers were piled on the table. Not even a servant was allowed to enter the room, and Lord Li Chenyang didn't care about these messy things.

Duchess Wang Qixing wrinkled her nose. "It's stuffy and dirty," she said angrily. She walked to the window and pushed it open, letting the breeze into the room.

"Well, sometimes I wonder if he has any secrets from me." Duchess Wang Qixing chuckled. "This room always has the best security measures."

Li Chenyang nodded, picked up a book and put it back to its place on the bookshelf.

"Especially with Ling guarding it, I can't help but wonder what important information is inside." Duchess Wang Qixing smiled. "You know, Ling is one of the most deadly fighters I have ever seen."

“Why is that?” Li Chenyang asked, picking up a document. His eyes widened briefly. This is…? The emperor’s private funds!

Li Chenyang immediately picked up the document and looked at it carefully. His eyes quickly scanned the information, and his hands trembled. What on earth is this? Why were thousands of gold transferred to an unknown place? He squinted at the note.

Shuyu Mountain? Li Chenyang had never heard of this place, but he knew it was a marked point on a geographical map somewhere.

Duchess Wang Qixing's attention was also drawn to something. A locked drawer. She wondered what might be inside. "Well, when I was young, I was a naughty princess, but you already know that."

"Of course I am." Li Chenyang chuckled. He put the file down, hoping his mother hadn't noticed his strange behavior. "You used to tell me stories from the past before bedtime, so that Wenmin and I could sleep peacefully."

"Yeah, you guys are so cunning." Duchess Wang Qixing sighed. "You always keep me awake at night and refuse to sleep in my own room."

Li Chenyang laughed again. He did remember those days. It would always have a place in his heart. But then his smile faded, remembering a little Minghua clinging to them. Her bright eyes and harmless smile were no match for the twins who always slept with her in a crowded room.

“One day, I sneaked out of the palace and someone searched me.” Duchess Wang Qixing recalled it and laughed. It was so fun to sneak away from the guards until she was caught by the bandits.

"I immediately informed your father of my disappearance," said Duchess Wang Qixing. "I didn't expect that he didn't care about me at all! Do you know what your stupid father did?"

Li Chenyang paused as he searched the bookshelf for a geography book. "I don't remember the story very well."

"Oh, that idiot only sent one man! The Emperor mobilized hundreds of men, and your father sent one man to me. How rude?" She crossed her arms angrily. "I almost didn't marry him because of this."

Li Chenyang listened to her words and smiled. His mother always said that she hoped she would not marry the Duke, but everyone knew that she loved him the most.

"But guess what? The man who brutally murdered the bandits was none other than the bachelor hired by your father. My God, that night was filled with too much blood and death."

Li Chenyang nodded encouragingly.

"Ling killed them all. They died cleanly, and no one suffered. But two people were caught for questioning. I have never seen someone as agile and powerful as Ling. It was terrible for him to handle it alone. "Thirty people, twice his size. "

Li Chenyang blinked. Is Ling so powerful? How come he doesn't know about this?

Duchess Wang Qixing smiled slightly. "He has such a pitiful background and past... He will never forgive himself for what he did."

Li Chenyang finally raised his head to look at her. He had a book in his hand, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to read it.

"What did he do, Mother?"

Duchess Wang Qixing's face became solemn. She glanced at the closed door, knowing that no one could hear the voice in this room. Even so, she did not have the courage to speak out Ling's failure. This was something he would never forget.

"Forget it, kid." Duchess Wang Qixing sighed. "Why am I not surprised that you found a book while I was telling a story?"

Li Chenyang smiled. "You know I like books."

"I want you to love girls," she retorted.

Li Chenyang was brought back. "What do you mean?"

“Oh, son, if you have to confess to me that you are not interested in women, please confess as soon as possible!” Duchess Wang Qixing fell on the sofa and said dramatically. “Hurry up and tell me that you don’t like women, and I will inform the matchmaker to change the plan.”

Li Chenyang frowned. "What are you talking about, Mom? If that's what you mean, I don't like men."

"But you never show interest in anyone who smiles at you." Duchess Wang Qixing rubbed her forehead and groaned. She now felt a splitting headache.

"Don't jump to conclusions." Li Chenyang snorted. He opened the geography book and began to browse the list of mountains and the pages where they were located.

"That's because Ning Huabing clearly fell in love with you, but you ignored her!"

Li Chenyang paused. The shy woman flashed in his mind, with a hesitant smile on her face. "Because she looks like she has two faces."

"So what type of women are you interested in?" Duchess Wang Qixing snorted and glared at him.

Li Chenyang tilted his head, pretending to think about how to answer. In fact, his attention was focused on the book. Finally, he found the page of Shuyu Mountain. His heart sank.

Shuyu Mountain is located in what was allegedly Wuyi enemy territory. The Wuyi Emperor was sending money to their mortal enemy.
