Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

"I don't know what would happen if they caught you." Xueyue said, pretending to think. "You would be dragged into the mud and your reputation would be ruined."

She took a step closer and whispered, "No one will marry you this way. Especially not the son of a duke, or a man destined to become chancellor."

Ning Huabing's heart dropped to her stomach.

Li Chenyang.

"You'll never find evidence—"

"I don't need evidence." Xueyue interrupted, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

"If our judicial system was so fair, so many innocent people would not have lost their lives. In this era, the words of prominent figures in society are often more important than facts," Xue Yue added.

Xueyue has personal experience of this. She will never forget the night she was abandoned, nor what happened before.

"As if you were an excellent member—"

"Of course, I'm not qualified to be one of them." Xueyue admitted, chuckling. "But the people who trust me are."

"Do you like the gift I gave you?" Xueyue said with a smile.

Ning Huabing frowned, and was suddenly horrified. Her eyes widened. "Is that you?" She whispered, her voice trembling.

Xueyue just smiled more brightly.

Ning Huabing opened her mouth, but immediately closed it when she saw someone approaching from behind Xueyue. She swallowed visibly, but still bowed gracefully and greeted, "General Li Wenmin."

Xueyue's eyes lit up, and she turned around and called out enthusiastically, "Brother Wen! You're here!"

"Hmm?" Li Wenmin raised his eyebrows and picked up a small cake and put it in his mouth. "Are you here to see me?"

"My mission is to bring you back." Xueyue chuckled and said, "Before you finish your food."

Ning Huabing looked at the two of them intently, listening to their conversation, his eyes widening with every second.

Li Wenmin smiled and pinched Xueyue's cheek. "My plan was discovered so quickly?"

Xueyue nodded.

"I wonder who has drawn attention to my absence." Li Wenmin wrinkled his nose, put his arm around Xueyue's shoulders, and squeezed them hard. "Could it be that messenger?"

Xueyue smiled sheepishly and said, "I may have mentioned that I wanted to eat..."

"Of course, you are the second biggest foodie in our family." Li Wenmin rolled her eyes and nodded to Ning Huabing.

"Who is this?" Li Wenmin's friendly smile turned cold. "Xiaoyue, is she an eyesore?"

Xueyue turned to Ning Huabing and smiled meaningfully, as if questioning her: "So, are you?" and the way she looked at her.

Ning Huabing opened her mouth and closed it again. She was in trouble. "I... uh, that..."

"I just want to know if Ning Huabing saw who shot the arrow at me. Judging from the direction, I heard that the arrow was shot near where she was sitting." Xueyue said shyly, glancing at Ning Huabing - waiting to let her take the bait.

"Oh?" Li Wenmin's warm expression turned dangerously gloomy. "Did you see anyone suspicious?"

Ning Huabing shifted her gaze from the terrifying general to Xueyue. She trembled like a leaf and stammered, "No, no..."

"It seems not." Li Wenmin roared and took a dangerous step. His free hand reached for the sword.

"I'm Xueyue's friend." Ning Huabing blurted out, his eyes widened, and pleaded with Xueyue. 'Great! I join your camp, okay? ! So do something to him!'

Xueyue smiled with satisfaction. "Don't worry, Brother Wen, I've asked her if she saw anyone, but unfortunately she didn't, what a pity, isn't it?"

Li Weimin sighed in disappointment. "What a pity! I would be happy to kill anyone who dares to hurt you, Xiao Yue."

Ning Huabing swallowed his saliva. S——was killed?

"I know." Xueyue looked at the ground and said softly, feeling a little guilty that she had dragged the Li family in. "Thank you."

Li Wenmin stroked her head affectionately, like stroking a pet. "Idiot, you don't have to thank me, we are a family."

Xueyue smiled sheepishly at the ground and said, "This is a force of habit."

Li Wenmin nodded gently. "I know." He looked at the competition venue and found that the painting competition was about to end. "Let's go back to the tent and complete your task successfully." He joked and gently pushed her shoulder.

Xueyue glanced at Ning Huabing with a smile and said, "Miss Ning, I wish you good luck." This can actually be translated as "Don't forget that you have changed your position."

"You too." Ning Huabing whispered. "Of course, I won't forget."

Ning Huabing swallowed and realized that she had changed alliances too quickly. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she had already confessed her friendship to Li Wenmin. If she broke her promise, who knew what would happen?

Ning Huabing watched them leave, and along the way she never let go of his occasional teasing and jokes. Their relationship was very close - a relationship that was difficult to break or trample on.

Drums sounded in the distance, and the painting competition was over.

Ning Huabing turned her attention to the arena, her heart sinking. Bai Tianai was looking directly at her, with an unreadable expression on his face.

"How long has she been looking at me?" Ning Huabing thought to herself, and shuddered at Bai Tianai's cold expression. This was going to be a long day.

"You know who shot you, don't you?" Li Wenmin finally said as they approached the tent. He put his hands behind his head and walked leisurely beside her.

"How do you know?" Xueyue asked. It's best not to beat around the bush with him.

Li Wenmin has a habit of hiding his cunning habits behind an easy smile. It's hard to read his mind. Sometimes people are fooled into thinking they are on the same side - when in fact, it's the exact opposite.

"You disappear from the tent too often." Li Wenmin turned to look at her with an unhappy look on his face. "Xiaoyue, it's dangerous for you to handle this alone."

"I know."

"Then why did you go into the forest without guards?" He suddenly became furious, forcing her to stop. "Do you know what will happen to you?"

"I've taken care of it."

"Yes, you did, but what if you didn't?"

"Why keep thinking about the assumptions? The result is the most important." Xueyue retorted.

Li Wenmin sighed. "Things in the future may not be in your favor. You are very capable, but you are still a woman who is easy to subdue."

"That's not true—"

"The commander easily thwarted your feeble attempts to escape him."

"You saw that?!" Xueyue hissed, looking morbidly embarrassed. Her cheeks turned pink and she avoided his gaze.

"rely on."

"Depend?" she repeated. "I thought you hated him."

"I hate that he is a suitor." Li Wenmin stared into the distance, the Wen family's tent stood tall, unafraid of the wind and sun. "But from a general's point of view, Wen Jinkai is an excellent commander. As a man, he is also good, comprehensive and fair."

Xueyue silently turned the pendant hanging on the belt of her clothes. Li Wenmin followed her small movements.

Li Wenmin's face turned serious. "Two years ago, when the commander left our home, I heard that he gave you a pendant.

"Xiao Yue, do you still have it? It's not hard to miss. It's jade-colored like night, and it has his name engraved on it."

Xueyue found it difficult to give him a suitable answer. She didn't know why Li Wenmin asked about the pendant at this time.

"Yes I do."

"Get rid of it. Now."
