Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 278 He was tortured
Li Xueyue knew that now was the best time, so she hurried to knock on the door. If one of them opened the door and found her standing outside, it would be obvious that she had eavesdropped.
She clenched her fingers into a fist and knocked loudly on the door, attracting their attention. The private study fell into silence. The door opened without warning, revealing an emotional Li Minghua.
"What on earth are you doing here?" Li Minghua wiped her face and said through gritted teeth. Her cheeks were flushed with suppressed anger. She wanted to go home, but now, she felt that she didn't belong here at all.
"It's none of your business." Li Xueyue pushed Li Minghua away, walked into the room, and said in a cold voice.
"Did you eavesdrop, you cunning little mouse?" Li Minghua grabbed Xueyue's elbow and asked.
"Minghua!" King Li Chenyang roared. "Enough with these childish antics. Now go back to your room."
Lord Li Chenyang could no longer tolerate the feud between the two sisters. It had to stop at some point, even if it meant one side would get hurt. He never wanted his house to be divided like this. Both sides had already chosen sides, and he would rather stop it before it was too late.
"So you plan to stand on her side?" Li Minghua sneered. "Why shouldn't I be surprised? Xueyue has brought you a lot of benefits, hasn't she? Rumor has it that she not only seduced Wen Jinkai, but also seduced the foreign commander. This unscrupulous behavior is just like her biological mother."
“Don’t you have anything better to say to insult me?” Li Xueyue retorted. “I’ve heard worse. Grow up. You’re older than me, but you still act like a child.”
Xueyue's answer made Li Minghua's blood boil. What made her successor so confident? "Who do you think you are? You are a little thing, I can crush you to death with my little finger."
Li Xueyue's lips curled up into a smug smile. "I'd like to see you try. Good luck trying to kill me. An entire army will be after you."
"That's enough." Wang Li Chenyang shouted. He pointed at the door. "It's getting late, Xiaohua, it's time to go to bed. We'll be busy tomorrow."
"I wish I were still here tomorrow." Li Minghua muttered softly, left the room angrily and slammed the door.
Li Xueyue was startled by a loud noise. After all these years, she was still not used to such noises. Her heart was beating wildly, and she tried to calm herself down. There was no need to retreat like this. She was safe.
Li Chenyang sighed tiredly. This was exactly the result he didn't want to see. "Is it so difficult to get along?" He sat down and asked.
"I tried it on the first day, but she chose to scratch my face with a hairpin, Dad." Li Xueyue replied. She was tired of playing nice with Minghua. She would do the same thing the next time the brat showed his claws.
"She what?" Li Chenyanggong hissed. "Come here, let me take a good look at you. Did she succeed? You shouldn't have any scars on your body."
"I'm fine, father. I stopped her in time."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Xiaohua is a naughty and disobedient girl. It's all my fault for not disciplining her properly."
"Every daughter is a princess in her father's eyes." Li Xueyue said gently.
“I cherish her too much,” King Li Chenyang muttered. “I have never felt more guilty than when I locked her up in the manor.”
"I know, but if we keep looking back, we'll never be able to move forward," Li Xueyue replied. She walked over to her father's desk.
"You are so wise in what you said." King Li Chenyang smiled and pondered. He could always rely on her to comfort him. He nodded into her arms. "Those letters, right?"
Li Xueyue looked down at the thing in her hand. "Yes, this is my reply to Zhen's letter. I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"My children have never been a nuisance to me. I suppose you would like the royal courier to deliver these letters to you..."
"Yes, if I may," Li Xueyue requested. She handed the letter to her father with both hands.
King Li Chenyang was even happier with her politeness. After so many years, she is still the good girl.
"Of course, I also have documents to give to Han Jian." King Li Chenyang said as he took the letter from her.
King Li Chenyang raised his eyebrows. A knowing expression appeared on his face. "There are three?"
Li Xueyue brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked away, her ears red. "He sent three letters, so I thought it best to reply to them one by one."
"Well, I will keep this secret from your mother. She will suggest that you send a brief email to put the Second Prince on alert."
Li Xueyue chuckled. "Yeah, Mom always likes me and Yu Zhen to play push-pull games. I think he has been tortured enough. Every subsequent letter he wrote was more eager to reply than the last."
"Okay." Li Chenyang said. "The more he misses you, the more he looks forward to your appearance."
Li Xueyue nodded.
"I think Chen Yang has informed you of the political marriage with the Crown Prince of Han?"
Li Xueyue blinked quickly at his question. Still, she nodded again. "He mentioned it briefly, asking if I'd like to go to the Han River for a change of scenery. It's said that I'd thrive better there than here."
"You are already a Wuyi third-rank princess," Lord Li Chenyang said. "This is the highest achievement for a non-royal lady in this country. The requirements for obtaining the title of first-rank princess are simply too tiring."
Li Xueyue had never aimed for the title of first-rank princess. Apart from gaining slightly greater recognition from the nobles, there were not many benefits.
"The title of Crown Princess is every little girl's dream. Your future in Hanjian will be brighter than in Wuyi," Lord Li Chenyang added. He was proud of everything she had done so far.
Not trembling under the gaze of the Fardon Emperor, not bowing to the Imperial family, is something that not many people can do. Not only that, but she also got away with the impossible during the Spring Tournament. Granted, it took an ace, but she pulled it off.
"Do you want to go to Han?" Li Chenyang asked. "The preparations will take a week, and once the final copy of the treaty document is approved, you can see Yu Zhen again."
Li Xueyue knew that this was the most difficult problem. Compared with her future in Wuyi, her future in Hanjiang seemed unpredictable. She rejected Yu Zhen because she felt that she was not worthy of him. She pushed him away because she wanted to be on the same level with him before officially dating.
Now, this new opportunity was before her, and she had no choice but to accept it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could she deny it?
"If possible, I would like to go to Hanjian. I will make my father proud of the Li family." Li Xueyue's voice was full of determination.
King Li Chenyang's expression softened after hearing her words. "Foolish child, you have made us proud in many ways."
