Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Duchess Li Qixing felt a sharp pain in her heart after hearing Xueyue's words. "How terrible!" she thought. If this was her view of death, then how did she view herself...?

Lord Li Chenyang felt pity for the little girl on the bed. The more he stared at her, the more frail and helpless she looked. Her shoulders were small, her arms were thin, and there was almost no flesh on her body. Her collarbone was so obvious that it looked like she could balance a gold coin on it.

Lord Li Chenyang saw Xueyue differently. In order to hear the truth from her mouth, rather than from the mouths of gossiping servants, he slowly but surely began to praise her a little more. What he saw was not a girl who looked a bit like his daughter, but a lonely and unpopular child who desperately needed love and attention.

Duchess Li Qixing also had the same idea as him. She wanted to pour the love that she could no longer give to her daughter into Xueyue...

Li Chenyang said: "Do you have grandparents or relatives who can take you in..." Seeing the horrified expression on Xueyue's face, he stopped talking. Her originally pale skin became abnormally pale, and she was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, no! Anyone but them!" Xueyue shook her head in disbelief. When she heard the words "grandparents" and "relatives", she hugged her body.

"I would rather commit suicide than go home..." Xueyue said coldly without hesitation. She shuddered at the thought of those monsters who dared to call themselves her aunt, uncle, grandfather, and grandmother.

If her father hated her, then her relatives despised the air Xueyue breathed. If her father’s beatings and abuse were cruel, then her relatives were masters of torture. What grandparents did to Xueyue was so cruel that it could not be described in words.

Duchess Li Qixing took a deep breath after hearing Xueyue's words. She didn't know what else she could do except hug the poor child tightly.

Having not experienced parental love for sixteen years, Xueyue's throat tightened when she felt such love again. Her nose was a little stinging, and her eyes were wet and blurry. Her lips trembled, and the room was filled with sobs.

Xueyue had never received the love she deserved from her mother, the Viscountess. This sudden and overwhelming rain of love changed her more than she realized.

“I just want to live a peaceful life…” Xueyue didn’t know what she was saying. It felt as if her heart was speaking, not her tongue. “Is that so much to ask? I just want to make them proud. I never thought—”

“Shh, it’s okay.” Duchess Li Qixing didn’t mind the whispered nonsense, but hugged Xueyue tighter.

Having not experienced the love of her parents for sixteen years, Xueyue cried even harder, her cheeks were wet with tears, and she could no longer speak. She was choked by sobs and hiccups and could not continue to speak nonsense.

King Li Chenyang was surprised by her tears, but seeing how hard she cried, he knew her tears were real. He stepped back and decided to give them space. His heart ached as he watched the pair. He saw what a great mother Duchess Li Qixing was. Not that she wasn't, but this emotional scene further made him realize what a loving and amazing woman his wife was.

"Don't send me back to my relatives and grandparents, please..." Xueyue pleaded with all her heart.

Duchess Li Qixing said irrationally: "You will never be sent back to them. As long as you are under my care and protection, I promise that you will be safe and sound in the Li Mansion." She was confused by the words that left her. Her mouth spoke the cry of her heart and brain: she wanted to keep this weak girl in the Li Mansion and never let her experience those unspeakable hardships again.

Li Chenyanggong was conflicted after hearing his wife's words. At first he thought they were just words of comfort, but then seeing the fierce stubbornness in her eyes, he knew she meant every word she said. He stared at his wife for the longest time, watching her slowly soothe and comfort the girl. His eyes then fell on Xueyue, who looked relatively harmless. Throughout their conversation, there was no indication of hidden motives or intentions that could be discovered by just looking into her eyes.
