Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Lee House

Li Xueyue stretched her upper body and sighed softly. "I'm finally done!" She said happily, ignoring the broken parchment beside her. There were enough parchment balls to build a mountain to sit on.

Finally, she finished writing three letters to Yu Zhen. Although it took her a whole night, she vowed to finish it.

Li Xueyue hoped to be delivered as soon as possible. She opened the door and saw the maids waiting patiently for her. They were diligent and ready to serve her at any time.

Li Xueyue prefers this. She prefers to stay alone in her bedroom. That way, no one will be watching her every move.

Li Xueyue took the letter and turned to face the servants. She originally wanted them to hand the letter to the Li family's messenger. At the last moment, she changed her mind. A simple messenger could never deliver these on time.

"Perhaps, my father can help..." she muttered to herself. If her father used the Royal Messenger, then the process would be accelerated.

Li Xueyue walked along the corridor towards her father's private study. It didn't take her long to get there. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a noise inside.

Li Xueyue paused. Eavesdropping was not good, especially in front of the guards. She raised her head and prepared to knock on the door, but she paused when she heard Li Minghua's sharp voice.

“I will never lie to you, father, you know that!” Li Minghua stood up and yelled, angry at his accusation. What on earth was wrong with her father? He had never treated her like this before.

Her father always accepted her words as they were. In his eyes, his daughter could do no wrong, even though she had tried to elope with Wen Jinkai.

"Father, how could you do this to me? You have changed, have you, because Xueyue is here? You see her value, and you care about her more?"

Even in the face of his screaming daughter, King Li Chenyang's expression did not change at all. His expression was always stoic and unrelenting. He kept his composure when others could not. It was in his nature to do so. Showing emotions was a thing for the weak.

"I heard you let her do whatever she wanted. Horse riding, swordplay, martial arts, etc. You gave Xueyue so much, but when I lived with you, you never let me do anything! And now you're on her side."

Li Minghua still pointed at him. "You believe her more than I do, is that right?! So what if I killed the queen?! I did something dirty, shouldn't I be praised? Why do you restrict me from leaving the house? What did I do?" ? "

King Li Chenyang sighed through his nose. His patience was running out. “After so many years, you’re still losing your temper.”

Li Minghua felt her words sting. Her eyes filled with tears of frustration. She wiped them away angrily, not wanting him to see the satisfaction of having been right.

"I didn't lose my temper, I just--"

"You screamed and pointed your finger at me. Your emotions were on full display for everyone to see and hear. Didn't I teach you anything?"

"Father-"

"Why do you think I kept you locked up for so many years? Of course it was to protect you. People thought it was a suitor, but it wasn't." Li Chenyang said, standing up. "It's because you never know how to hide your feelings. This is your biggest flaw. Everyone can take advantage of you."

Li Minghua kept her lips tightly shut. She knew this was the truth. This was one of the reasons why the Queen targeted her. Li Minghua never shut up and always flew into a rage in front of the Queen.

"In high society, words are our weapons. The sharper our tongues, the more people we hurt. You fight like an animal with a weapon."

Li Minghua was infuriated by her father's words. He had never praised her, not once. He had only criticisms for her. Those who say tough love is acceptable must have never experienced love.

She swallowed the knot in her throat. "Xueyue fights with weapons. I bet she is only good at men's sports, not women's sports, but you have never objected to any of her hobbies."

"I'm not here to compete with my daughters," Li Chenyang said sternly. "You shouldn't do this either. If you do, you'll deprive yourself of happiness."

"How could I not compare? She was my replacement, a subpar one if you ask me, but she still took my place in this house, and—"

"My dear girl, you are delusional. Go back to your room. I will send for the doctor tomorrow. He will understand your mental state. Your mental state has deteriorated."

Li Minghua blinked back tears. Was this the performance he wanted? For two years, she had risked her happiness just to keep her family secret. And now, he ignored her just the same. All she wanted in her life was to hear his praise. Was it so hard to get?

"If I'm hallucinating, then I must be blind. Why didn't I see it sooner?"

King Li Chenyang raised his eyebrows at her dramatic move. What was she going to say now?

"You don't love me, father."

"You fool, if I don't love my own daughter, if I don't love my own flesh and blood, who else can I love?"

"You like things that are useful to you. Isn't that why you like the twins? You like Chenyang's political influence and Wenmin's military power. You like your mother's title and prestige. But what can you like about me? Absolutely nothing."

King Li Chenyang was immediately startled by her words. Is this how she sees herself? He stood up without thinking much.

"My dear girl, have I not given you love and affection? Have I not given you everything you wanted in life? Have I ever refused you a gift while you lived in this house? Any priceless treasure you wanted, I gave it to you. For you."

"The love you give me is material because your love for me is like that," Li Minghua declared. She had had enough of this heartbreaking conversation. She turned her back on him and decided to leave the room.

"Minghua——"

Li Minghua ignored him and walked straight to the door.

"Li Minghua, stop!" Wang Li Chenyang slapped his palm on the desk and asked.

Li Minghua was startled by a loud noise. In her life, he had never raised his voice like this. He was always indifferent to her. His indifference made her doubt whether he really cared about her. His lack of reaction to her frequent temper only strengthened her assumption. Her father did not love her. If he did, wouldn’t he have to discipline her?

"Hasn't the damage you've caused been enough, father?" Li Minghua asked with tears in his eyes.

When King Li Chenyang saw her red eyes, he was stunned. His daughter was so precious that she was about to cry. Was it him who caused it? Guilt threatened his life.

King Li Chenyang doesn't want to be a villain in his daughter's life. But she seems to see him that way. Is he nothing more than a rival who stands in the way of her success?
