Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Xueyue hadn't expected Ning Huabing to live in the capital, but then again, she didn't know much about the girl, and she hadn't expected that Lord Ning would come to their house the next day with an invitation. As she pondered her answer, the open envelope rested between her fingertips.

Duchess Wang Qixing looked up from the pile of invitations, which she sorted into two piles: important and unimportant. As the head of the Li family, they had every right not to RSVP or attend most events, but the Duchess was kind enough to write a rejection letter instead of simply ignoring the invitation.

"Are you going?" Duchess Wang Qixing asked, putting down her brush. "That seems to have aroused your interest."

"Ning Huabing's birthday is in two days." Li Xueyue put the yellow envelope on the table and said slowly.

"Oh." Duchess Wang Qixing raised an eyebrow. "Should we choose a gift for her from the merchant who will arrive tomorrow?"

Li Xueyue nodded slowly, but she had other ideas about the gift. "Yes, she is willing."

“Is Ning Huabing a friend?” Duchess Wang Qixing asked curiously, remembering that Ning Huabing was the winner of the martial arts competition. She was lucky enough to pick a roll of exquisite white canary silk as her prize, which could be transformed into a lovely Hanfu.

Li Xueyue hummed, "Maybe."

"Oh..." Duchess Wang Qixing blinked. "Then leave the gift to me."

"Thank you." Li Xueyue smiled. "It's Sunday in two days, right? That means Dad won't be at work."

Duchess Wang Qixing was shocked. This was the first time Xueyue called the Duke father.

She tried to suppress her smile. "No, he wouldn't. All ministers aren't supposed to work on weekends. Well, most of them don't."

"I see." Li Xueyue put a finger on her chin thoughtfully. "The invitation said I could bring a friend."

"In fact, we have two invitations." Duchess Wang Qixing held up another yellow envelope. "Why don't you bring a date? I'll give this to one of the twins."

Li Xueyue smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek in confusion. "As if anyone can be my date."

Duchess Wang Qixing gave her a sharp look. "My dear, should we ask the person who has been eager to see the Duke? How many people are there today?" She turned to her maid, Jinxia.

Jin Xia lowered her head and said, "Five people came to our house today, but we have escorted them to the palace so that they can talk to the prince directly."

“Five.” Duchess Wang Qixing sneered, “It’s a pity that we Xueyue don’t even know of their existence.”

Jin Xia smiled slightly and teased: "That's because she doesn't need them, they need her."

Li Xueyue regretted what she had said. They were obviously making fun of her ignorance.

She muttered dejectedly, "Okay...I'll think about a date."

"Excellent!" Duchess Wang Qixing was immediately cheered up: "I will go and deliver a letter to the commander-in-chief."

"Which one?" Li Xueyue stood up in panic.

Duchess Wang Qixing smiled cleverly. "Which one did you think of?"

Li Xueyue snorted, "Stop talking like that."

"But you haven't told me your reaction yet!" Duchess Wang Qixing pouted. "I don't know whose ship I should be the captain of!"

"Boat?"

Duchess Wang Qixing chuckled, “Yeah, right on the boat of feelings!”

"Oh, Mom, tell me you haven't thought of a name for the boat yet!"

“Oh, but I did! I even thought of a cute baby name combination.” Duchess Wang Qixing pouted. “You can’t ruin our fun by not telling me which commander it is!”

"But what if they're neither?"

"Oh, great, of course, this is one of the commanders." Duchess Wang Qixing rolled her eyes, her face full of horror.

"Wait!" She gasped, covering her mouth like a drama queen. "Unless... it's the Fourth Prince?"

Li Xueyue slumped in the chair, covering her face with the envelope. "Why do I feel like I'm building a reverse harem?"

"That sounds fun." Duchess Wang Qixing laughed at her daughter's pure horror.

"What sounds interesting?" "What's wrong?" Li Chenyang asked as he strolled into the pavilion. He picked up an envelope from the table and wrinkled his nose when he found it was a love letter. He immediately tore it up.

Li Xueyue suddenly became alert: "Brother Chen! Are you free this weekend?"

"for?"

"how about you?"

He crossed his arms. "You have to tell me why first."

"Uh uh! I was the one who asked you that question first."

Li Chenyang wrinkled his nose. "Then I won't answer."

Duchess Wang Qixing's brain finally pieced it together. "He did it! He had all the time in the world."

“Mom, I’m busy this weekend.” Li Chenyang sat down on the chair next to Xueyue and groaned. When she reached for another envelope, he patted her hand, and he immediately discovered that it was another love letter.

"Take a nap until the afternoon," the Duchess sneered. "Stop sleeping like a well-fed pig."

"I'll stop when Wenmin stops eating."

"Then I guess I won't." Li Xueyue snorted, thinking of what happened at the breakfast table. Li Wenmin reached for the last boiled egg and greedily broke it.

Duchess Wang Qixing sighed and wiped away her imaginary tears. "Who wants to marry my son now? One eats too much, and the other sleeps too much!"

"At least I won't waste money on unnecessary snacks." Li Chenyang snorted. "Didn't you hear that his squadron scolded him for stealing food during training?"

"What happened?" Li Xueyue giggled.

"He should have watched them carefully, but no! He told them to run a little longer while chewing rice cakes."

"Hey! How can you say bad things about me when I'm not around!" Li Wenmin snorted and threw the helmet to Li Chenyang. The twins returned home after a day's work.

"For the record, I only ate snacks because Xiaoyue took the boiled egg from me!"

"Liar! You clearly stole from me!" Li Xueyue panted and pointed at him.

Li Wenmin opened his mouth, wanting to refute her, but he was powerless. In the end, he decided: "An adult should eat at least four meals a day."

"But you ate eight." Duchess Wang Qixing cried secretly. How did she raise such a greedy person? She couldn't help but regret those nights when she secretly brought the twins to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

Li Wenmin was sulking on another chair while Li Chenyang continued to tear up the love letter.

“So, are you free this weekend?” Li Xueyue looked at Li Chenyang strangely and asked again. What is he doing?

Li Chenyang glared at her. "For you?"

"Yes."

Li Chenyang sneered. "Then don't."

"Hey!"

Li Chenyang laughed at himself, "Okay, I am."

“Great!” Li Xueyue applauded.

"Excellent!" Duchess Wang Qixing screamed. It was time to test her matchmaking ability.
