Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

"You've seen enough," Yu Zhen said sternly.

Wu Xiang frowned and closed his fan. He crossed his arms and smiled. "As if I dared to take the Crown Princess from you."

Yu Zhen narrowed his eyes. He believed that Wu Xiang would not commit a damnable sin. As long as he could remember, the two men had been friends. Their days of mischief were certainly not over in Wu Xiang.

"Why are you all gathered here?" Yu Zhen turned to his sister and Hu Dengxiao and asked.

"Uh..." Hu Dengxiao lowered his voice. "It looks lively here, but I'm bored—" Noticing the dagger-like eyes of the prince, he paused.

"And... I don't want to be buried under heavy pressure because her father occupies me every day." Hu Dengxiao admitted.

Yu Zhen pursed his lips. Lu Tianbi was talking to her father? This was certainly not good news.

"Go and call Lu Tianbi." he ordered.

Hu Dengxiao's shoulders sank, and he fell to the ground with a pout. "The Prime Minister will never allow me to take his daughter away."

"I asked you to bring her here, not to propose to her." Yu Zhen said sternly.

Hu Dengxiao smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his neck. "Haha...yes, I knew that's what you meant."

Yu Zhen shook his head. He knew that when it came to Lu Tianbi, his smart counselor was the equivalent of the town's fool. He hugged Xueyue tighter, fearing that she would feel ignored. He stole a glance at her and found that she was watching the conversation unfold.

"She probably has a suitor now..." Hu Dengxiao's voice became lower and lower, his wagging tail drooped, and his lower lip protruded.

"I heard that the Prime Minister wants her to get married early. She is the only unmarried daughter of the Lu family." He added.

"That old man doesn't dare to question my authority, so go away," Yu Zhen retorted.

Hu Dengxiao instantly perked up. "Can I use your name?"

Yu Zhen stared at Hu Dengxiao, his eyes seemed to say: "Are you deaf?"

"Thank you, Zhenzhen, you are the best!" Hu Dengxiao exclaimed and turned around so quickly that a burst of air was stirred up.

"Wait, where are you going?" Yu Lingluo stomped her feet and looked up at him angrily.

"Follow your brother's instructions, Your Highness!" Hu Dengxiao said anxiously. He opened the door, but felt his sleeve being pulled roughly.

"No, you have to stay here." Yu Lingluo said sternly.

"Why?!" Hu Dengxiao argued.

Li Xueyue watched the two start bickering. She turned to Yu Zhen, who was looking at them with an angry look.

"I think..." she whispered to him.

Yu Zhen bent down slightly, trying to listen to her. She covered her mouth with her hand and whispered her discovery in his ear. He watched her little movements and smiled, his fingers lazily playing with the hem of her clothes.

"Is that so?" Yu Zhen said.

She nodded eagerly, her eyes returning to the argument.

"I already know." Yu Zhen told her.

"You won't stop them?" Li Xueyue asked in confusion. He just shook his head.

"They should figure it out themselves," Yu Zhen consoled.

Yu Zhen knew better than anyone how stupid this love triangle was. An orphan fell in love with the Prime Minister's daughter, and a princess fell in love with the orphan. It was a mess.

"Why did you call me?" Li Xueyue said, ignoring the argument around her.

"I wanted to make sure you were eating well. I was told you were eating more than usual."

Li Xueyue shook her head in amusement. "I think I'm starting to get back to my normal weight."

Yu Zhen touched her cheek and hummed. Her brows knitted together in confusion. Without warning, he pulled the two of them together. He laughed when she kicked his calf. This time, it finally hurt. He blamed it on her pointed shoes.

“It doesn’t feel like steamed buns yet,” he said.

Li Xueyue frowned. What does that mean?

"It hurts," she complained.

Yu Zhen listened to her words, smiled, pulled his cheeks further away, and was kicked hard again.

He laughed, "It's too violent."

Yu Zhen was delighted to see her stretched cheeks. They were plastic, like rice cakes. But he loosened his grip when he saw her pale skin turn pink. He massaged slowly and gently, eliminating the pain.

"I remember seeing you stuffing two steamed buns into your cheeks like a hamster eating," said Yu Zhen.

Li Xueyue was hypnotized by his gentle tone. For a strange reason, although his voice was hoarse, it sounded gentle.

"I don't understand why you compare me to a mouse." Li Xueyue said expressionlessly.

"Is that all you heard, Sunshine?" Yu Zhen smiled.

Li Xueyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard the voice. He was even more handsome when he smiled. It was deep and comfortable, like sinking into tall grass on a summer day.

"Obviously," she said. "It is."

Yu Zhen shook his head at her.

“Also, instead of putting two buns in my mouth, I ate one at a time and in moderation.”

Yu Zhen stared at her sharply. He didn't believe it. "I don't believe it, Yangguang."

"That's because you're delusional." Li Xueyue deadpanned. "Just like everyone else we know."

Her eyes widened at the last sentence. She bit her tongue and held back a sigh.

Li Xueyue didn't want to mention Xu Jiaqi, but she couldn't help but mention it. She couldn't control it. Didn't Yu Zhen say that he would punish Xu Jiaqi for illegal intrusion? Or some similar regulations?

"Who are you talking about?" Yu Zhen asked softly.

Li Xueyue pursed her lips and looked away. She focused her attention on his flat and broad shoulders.

"The sun is shining," he warned.

If she brought this up, would it seem too petty? She didn't want to deliberately target Xu Jiaqi, but that girl had to be taught a lesson.

"Li Xueyue." he said.

She exhaled a breath of air. "I just miss Xu Jiaqi."

Yu Zhen raised an eyebrow. "Why worry about such an insignificant person when you have an important person by your side?"

Li Xueyue listened to his words and smiled faintly. "I just..." She was silent. Did he forget to punish Xu Jiaqi?

Li Xueyue was stunned for a moment. He was never the kind of person who would forget things. That was all she knew. Was Xu Jiaqi pardoned? Did Xu Jiaqi's conscience have such a great weight on Zhen?

Doubtful questions flashed through her hesitant mind, and it all put a sour note on her mood.

Li Xueyue distanced herself from him, pulling away the visible distance. She didn’t want to look up at him; she didn’t want to see the disappointment in his furrowed brow, and the confusion in his furrowed brow. When she saw this, she would pour out all her worries, and then he would be caught off guard by her complaints.

"Sunlight-"

“Enough, you little guy!” Hu Dengxiao was furious. He grabbed the fingers that were tightly grasping his sleeves. He pushed her away carefully so as not to hurt her.

"No, someone else can do this for you!" The third princess Yu Lingluo shouted. She turned to Wu Xiang angrily and pointed at him.

"Brother Xiang, are you okay? Why don't you go find Lu Tianbi?" she hissed.

Wu Xiang looked around in confusion. He pointed a finger at himself with a confused look on his face. Why did the Third Princess drag him in? He was just an innocent bystander!

Interestingly, there were two groups of people arguing in front of him.

Wu Xiang just wanted to have a cup of tea and watch this mess happen. But the third princess ruined the joy, didn't she?

Wu Xiang gave her a warm smile. "Princess Lingluo, the mission was not given to me."

"Yes, you heard your brother Xiang, let me go!" Hu Dengxiao asked sternly. His patience had reached its limit.

What if he was late for the tea party and Lu Tianbi had been taken away by another man? What if Lu Tianbi had been engaged to a random jerk?

Seeing the long silence, Hu Dengxiao sighed softly. His attention suddenly turned to Yu Lingluo, who was trembling because of his loud voice. He rarely raised his voice to her.

"Luoluo..." Hu Dengxiao's voice became smaller and smaller, and his heart was full of guilt. He didn't like yelling at her. Despite the huge difference in status, he regarded the third princess as his sister.

Until now, he still remembers the little girl who chased him with a wooden sword.

"Humph!" Yu Lingluo threw her arms aside and finally let go. She crossed her arms angrily and glared at the ground.

Hu Dengxiao sighed softly. He didn't have time to comfort her, but he did it anyway. He put his hand on her shoulder and tried to explain.

"I've been very busy since your brother gave me such a high position. But I'll play with you next time, okay? This mission is very important, and--"

"Whatever." Yu Lingluo said angrily. She turned around and blindly grabbed someone, thinking it was her brother.

However, a hand held hers. At that time, it was quite painful. She frowned and looked up with wide eyes. The concept of physical pain was foreign to her.

Yu Lingluo gasped. Her brother seemed very angry and held her hand tightly. She had never seen him so possessive. His arms were around the Crown Princess' body, holding her tightly in his arms.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a cold voice.
