Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 281 Heading to Hanjian
Li Xueyue took a sip of tea. She didn't even bat an eyelash at the drama.
Duchess Wang Qixing immediately stepped forward to comfort her crying daughter. "There, there, mom is here," she whispered, and Minghua hugged her shoulders and sobbed loudly.
Hearing this heart-wrenching voice, Li Wenmin closed his eyes tightly. His fingers clenched into fists. He would never forgive Wen Jinkai. He gritted his teeth, took one last look at Minghua, and rushed out the door.
If Wen Jinkai hadn't run back to save Li Minghua, Li Wenmin would have had no choice but to drag the commander here kicking and screaming.
"Stop!" Duchess Wang Qixing shouted when she saw her eldest son running to the door. She already knew where this would lead.
Li Xueyue swung her legs carefreely. She continued to daydream.
"Don't you dare bring him back into this room. He's already said it, and there's no point in forcing him to reconsider," Duchess Wang Qixing explained.
"But, Mom!" Li Wenmin was angry. "He made Xiao Hua cry. The least he can do is to pay him back with blood and broken bones."
"This is not a battle you should fight." Duchess Wang Qixing snapped. "Return to your seat and continue eating breakfast."
"Mom is right," Li Chenyang said. "Wen Jinkai is an adult. He has made his decision. Leave him alone."
"Chenyang, how can you say that?!" Li Wenmin asked. "He broke Minghua's heart before, and now he's doing it again! This time, he actually dared to do it in front of us, he needs to pay the price for what he did."
Li Xueyue raised her eyebrows. This was an interesting point.
Li Chenyang shook his head firmly. "He paid the price with the death of his family. These people have been taking advantage of him since he was a child."
Li Wenmin was soon banned by his father. Although Wenmin hated the commander, he couldn't help but feel pity for him. How was the commander feeling at this time? Who benefited the most from the royal massacre? The Li family.
Li Wenmin couldn't imagine losing his family one day and having the person he loved all his life treat him coldly. The feeling of heartbreak was too much to bear.
"Okay," Li Wenmin said. He stomped over to the chair and sat down. In desperation, he pierced the egg and ate it roughly.
The atmosphere at the table was solemn, but Li Xueyue was the only one who remained unmoved. Seeing Li Minghua crying like this, she didn't mind at all. She picked up the teacup, but found it was empty.
Li Xueyue only cares about the Li family, not their Minghua.
Except for Xueyue, the whole family was troubled by Minghua's unstoppable tears. Everyone was sullen and restless. She couldn't grieve for them, so she silently poured herself another cup of tea and waited for everything to return to normal.
After breakfast, Li Xueyue found that she had missed another important meal. She hid in her room and ate some pastries. She ate them in small bites and finally pushed the plate of snacks away.
Li Xueyue was in no mood to eat. She wanted to do something that could distract her from the whole day.
"Today I'm going to go for a long run in the fields with Heiyue," she decided.
Everyone left her alone to do her own thing. The Li family always thought that she liked to be alone, but it was not the case. She just had no friends to associate with.
Li Xueyue left the room and walked towards the stable. She was surprised to see her father and Chen Yang standing there with a horse she had never seen before.
"This should make her happier." King Li Chenyang muttered. "Minghua always wanted to ride a horse before, but I never let her. But now she's grown up, so this should be okay, right?"
"I don't know why you dragged me into this," Li Chenyang said. He crossed his arms and stared at the snow-white horse.
"I asked Ling to find a horse, and it finally came today, just in time," said Lord Li Chenyang, ignoring his son's grumpy response and handing him the reins.
"Give the horse to Minghua. The shift change procedures are almost complete today. You are allowed to come later than usual. Wuyi can no longer live without a man on the throne. Soon, the Li family will be abolished. "Coronation. I estimate that it will take another week and a half before the coronation."
Li Chenyang stared at the reins in his hand, and then looked at the horse. It was well built and beautiful. Any sensible young lady would like this horse. It was a pity that his sister was neither ladylike nor sensible.
"Minghua can't ride, so why should we give her a horse..." He paused, "Xueyue?" Li Chenyang finally noticed her standing in the middle of the path leading to the stable.
Black Moon seemed to recognize his master's name. He neighed in protest in the stable.
"Blind horse." Li Chenyang said openly. "That man is very smart. Well, even though he can't see, I should still know when he can get home by himself."
"I picked it out myself." Li Xueyue approached her father and brother and said proudly.
Li Xueyue smiled slightly when she saw the new horse. "This one looks very obedient, very suitable for a beginner like Minghua."
Facing Li Minghua’s subtle blow, the corners of Li Chenyang’s mouth twitched. Everyone in the family knew how to ride a horse. Only Minghua didn’t. He looked away to hide the smile that was about to burst out.
King Li Chenyang patted her shoulder. "Don't think I missed this, kid."
Li Xueyue smiled sweetly. She blinked innocently and tilted her head, pretending to be confused. "I was just pointing out the obvious, Father."
"I believe you are." King Li Chenyang thought for a moment. He looked down at her and smiled slightly.
To this day, King Li Chenyang is still very glad that he can take her under his command. Although the fake smile still needs more work, Li Xueyue has grown into a delicate young woman. Even if Yuzhen is not by their side, King Li Chenyang will not accept other suitors except the prince.
Lord Li Chenyang knew that she was the illegitimate daughter of Viscountess Mu Yihua, but until now, he did not know who Xueyue's biological father was.
“Want to ride today?” Li Chenyanggong asked despite knowing the answer. He hated small talk, but this would arouse his favor.
Li Xueyue always felt that there was something deeper in his words. "I was planning to treat him to a meal," she said. This was only half right.
"Oh?"
Li Xueyue revealed the sugar cube in her pocket. She tilted her head. "I want to spend some time today combing out Black Moon's coat before I go practice swordplay. I'm a little rusty."
"What a pity." King Li Chenyang groaned. "I had hoped that you could accompany Minghua to go horseback riding. It would be a wonderful moment for both of you. You could teach her how to ride the horse."
"What a pity." Li Xueyue pretended to be disappointed. "If I hadn't neglected my training so much... I would have been able to teach Minghua."
Li Chenyang raised an eyebrow at her excellent acting skills. If he didn't know better, he would have thought she enjoyed being with Minghua.
King Li Chenyang was amused by her actions. "I was only joking with you, kid. Minghua will be here to teach soon. You can take Black Moon deep into the fields to avoid them. But this time, try not to bring a new suitor to our door to beg for mercy."
Li Xueyue blushed when she heard his words. He said this to avenge her white lie. She scratched her cheek awkwardly and looked at the ground.
Li Chenyang was amused by her reaction. The subtle jab was hilarious. He ruffled her hair. “You shouldn’t feed Black Moon so many sugar cubes, carrots are healthier.”
As soon as he heard his name, there was a loud noise in the stable. Heiyue had kicked open the door of the stable. He was usually very obedient in his heart, but as long as his master was around, he would never be patient.
Li Chenyang looked into the stable and saw an impatient horse sticking its head out of the stable door. His ears were erected, and he was on high alert.
"Are you going to take this horse to Han?" asked Lord Li Chenyang.
Li Xueyue followed his line of sight. She suppressed her smile when she saw Heiyue sticking his head out of the door.
"Yes, I think Hanjian has a great terrain. I have studied the geography of Hanjian. I was surprised at the speed of Zhen's horses, but I didn't know there were so many green plains in Hanjian for them to run on." She replied.
Li Chenyang nodded. He was glad that she was always learning. At least she didn't waste her time alone on useless things. "Han Jianbing's horse-riding battle is a fool's way to death."
Li Chenyang frowned slightly. If Wuyi's land didn't have so many hills and forests, it would be easier for them to train horses. He thought that every country had its own advantages and disadvantages. Han Jian's soldiers would get tired more easily if they walked.
"Why do you ask that, father?" Li Xueyue asked.
Li Chenyanggong smiled. "Because you will leave for Han in less than a week."
Li Xueyue blinked in surprise. So, so fast?!
