Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Duchess Li Qixing had just said goodbye to the Imperial Concubine when she heard servants waiting at the back door of the mansion to greet Xueyue.

The Duchess was relieved to see that Xueyue was distracted enough to let the imperial concubine leave. That was until Xueyue rushed into the living room, frantically calling for the doctor, and ordered a group of male servants to go to the fields behind the house.

Li Chenyang came in a minute after Xueyue and explained the situation to the surprised Duchess. Wen Jinkai was then taken into their mansion and examined by a doctor.

Xueyue was surprised to find that he was only eighteen years old, two years older than her. He was burly, with broad shoulders and well-developed muscles, and she almost mistook him for a man.

After the doctor treated the Marshal's wound and prescribed some medicine, the Li family quickly notified the Wen family.

Through fragments and whispers, Xueyue already understood the situation at hand. Wen Jinkai had been seriously injured in the previous attack and was suddenly ambushed by a large army of enemies. He only had a hundred people around him.

At the last moment, Wen Jinkai sacrificed himself and let his men run back to the base to shout. When he knew that his men were far away from the enemy soldiers, Wen Jinkai suddenly cut down an enemy captain and took the opportunity to escape.

A week had passed since the incident, and when his body was not found, people panicked and thought he was dead.

One day, after the news that the legendary warrior had survived spread, the Wen family immediately came to pick up their son.

“Li Chenyang, without the keen eyes of your son and niece, I don’t know what I would have done,” said Duke Wenxuan.

The two of them were in the study of Prince Li Chenyang, drinking tea and chatting. Duke Wenxuan was glad that this was not the "special blend" of Lady Li Qixing.

Lord Li Chenyang omitted the part where his son wanted to abandon Wen Jinkai, thinking that he was just a simple soldier.

"Don't thank me, old friend," he murmured, sipping his tea.

Prince Li Chenyang instantly noticed how handsome Prince Wenxuan was. Instead of worrying about the bags under his eyes due to the disappearance of his eldest son, Prince Wenxuan glowed with health.

"What about your niece? I heard that when Chen Yang thought that my son was just an ordinary soldier and should wait for death, she was the first one to come up with the idea of ​​saving my son."

King Li Chenyang laughed. "Why do I feel that the older I get, the better my ears become?" He thought for a moment and signaled his servant to bring Xueyue forward.

Li Chenyang had already arrived in the study, leaning quietly against the bookshelf pretending to read. He had already greeted King Wenxuan, so what else was there for him to do?

Duke Wenxuan already knew Chen Yang's quietness, so he did not force the young man any further.

"I learned these antics from my second wife, who loves to hear the latest gossip." King Wenxuan was not angry about Chen Yang's previous belief, because he knew that this was his usual habit.

Lord Li Chenyang raised his eyebrows: "Then I should learn a thing or two from Princess Wen."

He had always been puzzled by the mention of his second wife, who had been so quickly forgotten after his first wife's death, but he had never dwelled on it. It was better not to delve into it.

Just then, a servant knocked on the door of the public study room that Li Gong often used to entertain guests. He himself had a separate study room that was off-limits to almost everyone in the family except his wife.

“Come in,” said King Li Chenyang, taking another sip of tea. For some reason, he missed the strange mixture of flavors of his wife.

Xueyue walked into the room, saw the guest, and bowed politely.

Li Chenyang motioned Xueyue to sit down on the empty sofa next to him. When Xueyue sat down, Li Chenyang followed suit.

Li Chenyang pretended to be very tired after standing for so long, and his eyes never left the book in his hands.

"What did these old guys want by inviting Xueyue here?" he asked himself, not realizing that he hadn't turned a page in the fifteen minutes he had been reading the book.

“Duke Wen here wants to see the face of the girl who saved his son.” King Li Chenyang nodded to King Wenxuan, who smiled politely at Xueyue.

"I heard there was a girl, but I didn't expect she was so young." Duke Wen leaned his face on his arm and pondered. He turned to her: "Child, how old are you?"

"Mr. Wen, I am sixteen years old this year." Xueyue said lightly.

He said cheerfully, "Sixteen years old this year? My third son is about your age, and my second son, my future heir, is also close to your age, seventeen years old."

Duke Wen scratched his chin, looking thoughtful. "Would you like to meet my sons? They are handsome, but a little too energetic, but most young people are like that."

Duke Wenxuan wanted something that would strengthen the bond between the Li and Wen clans. Marriage was ideal, especially as he planned to make his second son the heir. This was what his second wife wanted, despite his concubine's objections. His only concubine wanted her only son to be the heir, but considering he was Duke Wen's third son, this was an impossible dream.

Li Chenyang tightened his grip on the book. He had not forgotten that although his best friend Wen Jinkai was the eldest son of King Wenxuan, he was not even an heir.

"What nonsense did I say about marriage, you old fool." Li Chenyang pretended to be reluctant, but his eyes flashed with interest.

"Well, Gu Hu, there's nothing wrong with discussing marriage earlier, so as to save both parties from heartbreak." King Wenxuan rolled his eyes and retorted.

Xueyue raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Just now they had been speaking so eloquently and formally, she had not expected their behavior to suddenly change, and they were swearing at each other. As soon as she saw the amusement in their eyes, she knew that this was a common occurrence.

"It seems like they are friends..." she realized.

"Besides, my sons are all good, especially my youngest son. My third son is a bit weak and likes to have a capable woman like Xueyue around him." Duke Wenxuan smiled.

Lord Li Chenyang pointed out dissatisfiedly: "He is too old, and he is too easy to be deceived. He is too naive. Such a boy is of no benefit to Xueyue. You want a match, and I want an heir."

Seeing that Lord Wenxuan frowned, he added: "Besides, my wife loves her very much, and she would want to give the best to her niece."

"My sons are all the best, and our home is very close to the capital. I think if Duchess Li Qixing is interested, she can come to visit at any time." Prince Wenxuan said shyly.

"I don't think so." King Li Chenyang said expressionlessly, taking a sip of tea.

His eyes followed Xueyue who was sharing a book with Chenyang. He knew his son was eavesdropping, but he didn't know Xueyue was holding the other half of his book.

He chuckled to himself, finding it funny that the twins were so protective of her... Strange that Li Chenyang had never been like this with Li Minghua... This thought intrigued him rather than bothered him. Why was Li Chenyang so closed to Li Minghua?

"Is there anything I don't know?" King Li Chenyang asked doubtfully, narrowing his eyes. He decided that after this conversation, he would let Ling investigate the situation.
