Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 8 Mourn for You
Li Chenyang stepped forward with his hands folded. He stared at her bandaged head and arms. He asked in a serious and solemn voice, "You are Bai Xueyue, the youngest daughter of Viscount Bai, am I right?" His sharp eyes watched the girl's reaction. He was surprised to find that there was no fear in her eyes.
"Yes, that's right," she said with a hint of sharpness in her tone. Her voice was cold, and her gentle eyes became as hard as rock.
Although King Li Chenyang admired Xueyue's honesty, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart that she would deny the news. Thinking of Xueyue's complicated background, a conflicted expression appeared on his face.
Lord Li Chenyang's gaze shifted from the determined Xue Yue to Duchess Li Qixing, who seemed unaware of the weight of Xue Yue's last name.
Duchess Lee Chil-sung is active in women's social circles, but she pays little attention to government and political affairs.
But Li Chenyanggong was different. He held a high title in the palace, which forced him to memorize and understand court affairs.
Thinking of the surname Bai, he suddenly realized. Lord Li Chenyang remembered that Viscount Bai had requested an imperial decree to sentence a young girl to death. Because the girl was only sixteen years old, there was a rift between Viscount Bai's wishes and Hechen's laws.
It is unknown how Bai Zijue did it, but he eventually got the imperial edict. However, the child's name was not on the scroll, so strictly speaking, the imperial edict did not sentence Xue Yue. Any child could be sentenced, but Bai Zijue could get away with it.
“Interesting…Interesting.” King Li Chenyang thought to himself. He wondered what crime the little girl in front of him might have committed. She looked relatively harmless because of her petite figure and hunger. Her eyes, so innocent and ignorant, didn’t look like the type who would commit a crime. He was curious about her, but didn’t want to interrogate the girl in the presence of the Duchess.
King Li Chenyang stared at his wife for a while. He saw her attachment to Xueyue, and her delicate care for her. This is going to be confusing...
Although Xueyue did not look like Minghua when she was awake, Duchess Li Qixing began to have a good impression of Xueyue. Perhaps because she was a child of Minghua's height and build, or perhaps because Duchess Li Qixing had taken care of the child herself, Xueyue felt a sense of security. Whether this feeling was healthy or not, no one in the room was willing to address the issue.
“If you’re willing to share, would you be willing to tell us what happened?” Duchess Li Qixing asked. Her eyes were full of love and understanding. Obviously, she was happy to take “no” for an answer.
Because Prince Li Chenyang was standing, he did not see the broken expression on Xueyue's face. But Duchess Li Qixing, who was sitting next to Xueyue, clearly saw her painful expression. Seeing this girl, she felt her heart tighten. Xueyue looked very young, just over sixteen years old, but she looked like she had experienced a lifetime of hardships.
If only the Duchess knew that Xue Yue’s life was indeed filled with painful events and memories.
Xueyue breathed in and out slowly. She wanted to calm her mind and heart before she spoke. Her illogical thinking and reckless behavior had almost cost her her life. She was determined not to make the same stupid mistakes again. Foolishly speaking at the wrong time, naively blurting out her first thought and unwise outburst, she realized how stupid she was at that time.
Xueyue finally understood why Bai Tianai was loved and pampered by everyone she met. With sweet words, a loving smile, and always knowing what to say, she was a very shy girl.
When Xueyue raised her head, a gleam of determination flashed in her hazel eyes.
King Li Chenyang suddenly thought of someone he was familiar with and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Their facial features were surprisingly similar, and the most common thing was their sharp eyes.
"My previous state was sentenced to death by Viscount Bai." Xueyue's words startled Duchess Li Qixing, and she reached out to cover her mouth. Her eyes stung painfully with sympathy, and she began to cry.
King Li Chenyang was amused by her fearless confidence. He valued honesty the most, and hearing Xueyue's honest words made him approve of her even more.
"Now, he probably thinks I'm dead." Xueyue said slowly.
Duchess Li Qixing sniffed the handkerchief. She thought of the terrible life this poor girl might have lived.
Lord Li Chenyang's expression and reaction were completely different from his wife's. There was only a hint of sadness in his eyes. He was very curious about Viscount Bai because he had heard interesting and dark rumors about how Xueyue got pregnant.
"Princess Li, don't cry." Xueyue gently rubbed Duchess Li Qixing's trembling shoulders.
"Someone must be missing your presence very much—"
"No one will mourn for me... Even if I die, no one will miss me." Xueyue said in a low voice, but everyone in the room heard the pitiful words.
