Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Xueyue stared at the boxes on the table, which were of different colors, sizes, and decorations.

The largest, most luxurious box stood before her—untouched and ready for her to claim.

Everyone held their breath as she reached for another box. Suddenly, her hand changed direction and picked up an inconspicuous box. It was simple, the royal purple reminded her of the tent of the Li family.

People laughed at her. How stupid could she be to choose the ugliest and smallest box? Was she trying to show how modest she was? How foolish! With all these extravagant gifts, why not just be greedy and choose the biggest box?

When Xueyue opened the box, she was surprised to see a note inside. After taking it out, several people whispered. She must have chosen a useless person. She lost the opportunity to get a priceless hairpin, charming earrings, or a jaw-dropping necklace.

Xueyue unfolded the folded paper. She was surprised to see a word: a wish.

"Ah, it seems you have chosen the most expensive gift here." The emperor's eyes flickered with amusement. This girl not only has a pair of wise eyes, but also a pair of lucky hands. There were several boxes with simple decorations on the table, and the one in her hand was not the ugliest one. She chose the safe route and chose the middle ground.

Everyone was talking about it. How could a piece of paper be so expensive?

Xueyue stared at him with conflicting eyes, and the emperor mistook her gaze for confusion.

"This gift will fulfill one of your royal wishes. You may request a royal title, a kingdom, lands, unwavering wealth, a marriage certificate to a prince, or anything else you can think of. As long as it does not endanger or compromise the Empire or the Royal Family, this wish may be granted," the Emperor explained, his lips curling up slightly.

A buzzing murmur filled the air, preceded by a sharp gasp. How lucky was this young woman?!

Immediately, many noble families saw her as an ideal marriage partner. If she could get the royal family's wish, imagine the wealth they could demand from them!

Xueyue didn't like those eyes watching her every move, and she knew it was time to retreat back to the Li family's tent.

She clasped her fists and bowed to the emperor. "Li Xueyue thanks your majesty for giving me this priceless treasure. I will cherish it even more." Her voice was firm and resolute, not at all like the meek girl that she looked like.

Li Xueyue took the gift and hurried to her tent. She could feel hundreds of eyes staring at her, judging her every step and every breath.

The moment she walked into the tent, she breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up, she saw the conflicted expression on Prince Li Chenyang's face, and the brilliant glow on Princess Li Qixing's face.

"You shouldn't have chosen this gift."

"I'm so glad you chose this gift!" the Duke and Duchess said at the same time.

"Uh..." Xueyue stared at the different expressions on their faces.

The Duchess seemed overly excited, while the Duke seemed cautious.

Li Chenyang said impartially: “This gift will make you the center of attention, and people will deliberately target you.”

“Aiming at you to get married!” Duchess Li Qixing exclaimed, completely ignoring the unhappy expression on the Duke’s face.

Duchess Li Qixing was excited about the proposal, but King Li Chenyang was not.

If she had many potential suitors, his life would become very difficult and complicated. He didn't want anyone to investigate Xueyue's background and question her relationship with the Li family.

He was ambivalent about her.

Should he treat her as a distant niece? Or should he treat her as an adopted daughter?

The twins love her very much and do not treat her as a distant niece. The Duchess is always happy with Xueyue. She has a good influence on her family. But what will happen if her true identity is discovered?

His eyes fell on the Bai family. Their expressions were completely indifferent, as if they had not just heard the name of the dead child.

How could Viscount Bai Yihua sit there and fan herself as if nothing had happened? Didn't she care about her own flesh and blood? What about Viscount Bai Sheng? Didn't he care about the child he raised?

King Li Chenyang almost laughed at himself. Viscount Bai Sheng certainly didn't care, he just ordered her to be beaten to death!

King Li Chenyang pursed his lips. Two years ago, after Lord Wenxuan came to the study because of the commander's injury, Lord Li asked Ling to investigate the relationship between Li Chenyang and Li Minghua.

He wasn't surprised to hear that they were always fighting with each other, so he dismissed it as typical sibling rivalry. There was nothing fishy about them. Even so, he had a feeling that something was wrong. He couldn't pinpoint exactly where it was. Was it something other than a typical bickering?

“Xueyue, what do you think of marriage?” Duchess Li Qixing smiled at her and clasped her hands together. She always liked the warmth coming from Xueyue’s hands. Because she always clenched her loose fists, Xueyue’s hands were always warm.

"Marriage? I haven't thought about it yet." Xueyue looked at the Duchess warily and answered hesitantly. "I'm still too young to get married," she thought to herself.

Besides, she didn't think any man would like her. Who would like someone without the proper title, background, and support?

Xueyue glanced at their hands. She remembered what Viscount Baisheng once said to her. She was an unwanted child, worthless. In the end, she kept his words in mind.

"You don't have to think about it." Li Wenmin interrupted as he walked into the tent. His voice was tense, his lips were tightly closed, and his expression was unhappy. "Marriage? I don't think so!"

"Speaking of marriage, we still need to discuss a suitable partner for you!" Duchess Li Qixing ignored her son's gloomy face and began to look for a note.

"But Mom!" Li Wenmin muttered, stamping his feet childishly. "I don't want to get married so young--"

"Nonsense! Now is the best time to get married. There are many young and promising daughters of noble families here. Many of them are eyeing you and your brother, such as Baron Han's daughter and..." Duchess Li Qixing kept talking. She kept listing all the daughters she knew.

While she was chattering with Li Wenmin, King Li Chenyang fell into deep thought.

Li Wenmin tried his best to comfort his mother, while Xueyue quietly observed the scene in front of her. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she smiled and looked at the perfect opportunity in front of her. While the mother and son were arguing and the Duke was in a daze, Xueyue sneaked out of the tent.
