Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Xueyue couldn't stand it in the restaurant for a while. It was too suffocating, and she didn't want to eat anymore. She bowed her head to show respect to her parents and said goodbye without looking back.

Li Xueyue didn't care about Minghua's pale face and the pain on his face. Li Minghua's heartache was obvious.

Li Minghua opened her mouth and closed it again. The string of lies that had bound her for more than two years began to strangle her. She was speechless and could not tell what was reality and what was not.

Is Wen Jinkai really like Xueyue said? Does he still love her?

Tears filled her eyes as her face warmed. Her throat tightened and her vision became blurry.

No, she didn't believe his sincerity towards her. Just as the second prince said. Wen Jinkai no longer loved her. He loved the third-rank princess of Wuyi.

Li Minghua saw the look in his eyes when he grabbed her throat. A trace of disgust and anger flashed across his face. She had never seen anger so terrible. He had such a reaction because Xueyue's hand was hit.

"Minghua." Duchess Wang Qixing whispered softly. "What your sister said may be true. Please don't be angry with Xueyue. She didn't do anything wrong."

"Everyone is always on her side," Li Minghua declared. She looked up, a tear rolling down her cheek. "She has everything! Beauty, intelligence, and--"

"You only know the surface of Xueyue." Li Chenyang said sternly. He stood up and glared down at her. "If you know nothing about her past, you should shut up."

"She comes from a poor family and was accused by the Bai family of murder. She killed Viscount Bai Sheng's elderly housekeeper!" Li Minghua exclaimed. "I know everything about her."

Li Chenyang was stunned. Xueyue was accused of murder? When did this happen? He looked at his parents, but they looked away.

Li Chenyanggong knew that Xueyue was beaten to death. For the crime she allegedly committed. It was no surprise that her punishment was so severe. Ling had investigated her background. He knew what she was accused of, but still accepted her.

"Is it true?" Li Chenyang asked.

King Li Chenyang nodded silently. The reason why he continued to accept Xueyue into the family was not because she brought happiness to Duchess Wang Qixing. Because he had been silently protecting her.

King Li Chenyang knew that Xueyue would never kill anyone, especially an old man.

“I don’t believe it.” Li Chenyang sneered. Part of him did. He had seen the way she swung the sword. She had the ability to kill, but the question was, would she kill?

Li Chenyang refused to accept such a cruel accusation. He stood up and did not defend himself, but chased after his sister. Xueyue would not do such a thing. Would she?

Seeing the dinner party was so chaotic, King Li Chenyang sighed. "She may be charged with murder, but the circumstances around her are suspicious."

Duchess Wang Qixing nodded slowly. She believed her husband's words more than anyone else's. A carefree girl couldn't possibly kill someone. Right? Still, she turned to Minghua.

King Li Chenyang glanced at his daughter. "How do you know so much about Xueyue? Chenyang was shocked, but I didn't think so."

Li Minghua bit her tongue. She looked at Wen Min, who was pale, with disbelief on her face. He didn't speak. Not once.

"I saw it..." Li Minghua whispered. "The night before the palace massacre, I sneaked into the queen's bedroom. It was relatively easy, as she never had guards around her when she slept."

Li Minghua did not intend to reveal the conversation between Wen Jinkai and the queen when he rushed into the queen's bedroom that night. Perhaps it was because of this that the queen completely lost her sense of security. The queen was likely trying to exert influence on her son in the form of Xueyue.

Li Minghua fiddled with her hands. "I think the Queen has checked Xueyue's background. It must be difficult to find information because the Bai family has disappeared, but there are servants left.

There was a scroll hidden between the bookshelves. When I took it out and read it, I found that it was all about the history of Snow Moon. "

Li Wenmin was the first to panic. His eyes opened wide. The thought of Xueyue being in danger suddenly hit him. He jumped up from his chair.

"Where is the scroll now?" Li Wenmin asked anxiously. He was afraid that something would endanger Xueyue.

"In the palace, I hid in the bedroom." Li Minghua said. "But-"

"Father," Li Wenmin called out. He hated the formal title, but desperate times called for desperate measures. "You must burn it. No one else can know—"

"You don't have to tell me." Prince Li Chenyang groaned. "Minghua, you have to come with me to the palace today. Take me to your bedroom."

“But the problem is…” Li Minghua answered nervously. Her eyes scanned every place in the room, except for her parents and brother. Fear overwhelmed her. She didn’t want to go back to the palace again, it was a terrible place.

"What is it?" Duchess Wang Qixing asked. Her voice was filled with reassurance. She gently placed her hands on her daughter's back and rubbed soothingly, knowing that this would calm Minghua.

"My bedroom is in the Second Prince's Mansion, and I don't want to run into him."

Li Wenmin's body stiffened. Why would a servant live next to the prince? It was as if she was a concubine. And why would the concubine's room be so close to the royal family... "Second Prince, did our cousin touch you?!"

The color drained from Duchess Wang Chil-sing’s face. This wasn’t the first time Minghua’s cousin had fallen in love with her. But it would be the first time, if anyone succeeded. She suddenly felt grateful for the princes’ slaughter. How dare they touch her daughter?

"No, not yet, not yet." Li Minghua muttered in a low voice.

King Li Chenyang wrinkled his lips slightly. Minghua's shoulders were hunched, and he lost the confidence he had just had. This was definitely a sensitive topic for her. He was going to ask the Duchess to talk to her about this in private.

"Trust your father," Lord Li Chenyang said. "I failed to protect you before, but this time, I will not let you down. Come with me to the palace, and once we get the scroll, I will send you home as soon as possible."

Li Minghua hesitated. She didn’t want to run into the Second Prince. If he was still alive, he would probably be furious. The Second Prince trusted her as an accomplice, and she ran away from him. She had never run faster than she ran after her father that night.

"I don't want to," Li Minghua whispered. When Wenmin's gaze became intense and urgent, she retreated.

"Don't you like Xueyue?" Li Wenmin asked suddenly.

"I just-"

"It's okay." King Li Chenyang interrupted with a sigh. "Tell me where you put the scroll and I'll get it."

Li Minghua bit her lower lip. The scroll was her only bargaining chip against Bai Xueyue. If she gave up so quickly, wouldn't Xueyue win the battle?

"Under my pillow." Li Minghua turned his eyes away from them.

"That's good." Duchess Wang Qixing responded enthusiastically. "You don't have to worry about this anymore."

Li Minghua nodded quickly. "Can I go back to my room now? I'm tired."

"Of course." Duchess Wang Qixing said attentively. "Come, I'll take you back."

"No need." Li Minghua blurted out. She panicked and quickly stood up from her chair. Her chair fell backwards. When she jumped down, there was a loud bang.

King Li Chenyang was suspicious of her sudden clumsiness. If he remembered correctly, she was most nervous when she was hiding something. He wanted to question her, but he was wrong. Why was his own daughter hiding from him?

"Wait." Li Wenmin said.

Li Minghua was frozen. "I told you I can walk back by myself! I don't need anyone's help. This is my home, too. I'm not a guest. I won't get lost!" she exclaimed.

Li Wenmin's expression softened a little. "That's not what I meant, Xiao Hua."

"Then what do you want to say?" Li Minghua put his trembling hands behind his back and asked impatiently.

"Are you sure it's under your pillow?" Li Wenmin asked. "We don't want to search your room and arouse other people's suspicion, so we must get the scroll as soon as possible. I hope you understand my intention, Xiao Hua."

Li Minghua stared at his brother accusingly. "Is it like this now? Don't you believe me anymore?"

Li Wenmin's eyes widened. He shook his head and began to approach her. He always had confidence in his Xiaohua - no matter what she said or did to him. After all, she was his most precious sister. In his eyes, she could do no wrong, just like Xueyue could do no wrong.

"No, not that—"

“Thank you for your insult.” Li Minghua gritted her teeth and said. She was despised by his words, and it was all written on her face.

"Xiao Hua——"

"I'm leaving now. I'm sorry," she said. Without waiting for his reply, Li Minghua stomped out of the restaurant.
