Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

Thinking of what her mother said to her yesterday, Li Rongjing couldn't help but blush.

She remembered clearly that her mother held her hand and said earnestly, "Rong'er, tomorrow you can go to the Taifu Mansion for me. Tell them that I have agreed to your marriage with Erlang of the Yu family."

"Let them choose an auspicious day to come and present the betrothal gifts, and by the way, our two families can also discuss the date of the wedding..."

Hearing this, Li Rongjing seemed to have instantly turned into a shrimp cooked in boiling water, and her whole body turned red from head to toe.

She stamped her feet in embarrassment and retorted coquettishly, "Mom! How can a girl take the initiative to go to a man's house to propose marriage? How can this be considered decent?"

However, faced with her daughter's reaction, Mrs. Li just smiled helplessly.

She coughed twice, then patiently explained, "Ahem, mother has something urgent to do tomorrow..."

"Besides, the two young masters of the Yu family are both highly regarded candidates for sons-in-law in our Fengdu City! The young ladies of other families are eyeing them covetously."

"Since the Yu family has sent someone to leak the information, it means that they are interested in you. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will cry if something unexpected happens!"

After saying this, Mrs. Li did not forget to reach out and touch Li Rongjing's hair, her eyes full of love and concern.

Li Rongjing covered her cheeks with her hands and said softly, "There's no need to be so anxious. Wouldn't it be better if I could go there in person tomorrow after Mom finishes her work?"

Madam Li sighed helplessly, "Alas, Rong'er, I left home this time for an emergency. It was all for your sister's health..."

"I estimate that I will be away from home for at least half a month this time. Mother is really worried that something unexpected will happen during this period, which will lead to changes in the marriage between our family and the Yu family." When she said this, Mrs. Li's face was full of worry.

Li Rongjing looked at her mother's worried expression, and her heart tightened. She thought of her sister who had been frail and sickly since childhood. Her eyes gradually turned red, and she asked with some expectation:

"Mom, have you found the legendary place?" The voice trembled slightly, "Sister...is she saved?"

She held her mother's hand tightly, as if wanting to get a positive answer from her mother.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's anxious and restless face, and a hint of pity could not help revealing in the depths of her eyes, but she still nodded firmly to show her consent.

However, he then slowly grasped Li Rongjing's slightly cold little hand in his palm and said softly: "The situation is still unclear... but even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, mother and father will never give up easily!"

"You and your siblings are the apple of your parents' eyes. It's a pity that Xue'er has been frail and sickly since childhood, so that mother sometimes unconsciously neglects you..." As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li's eyes were filled with guilt that was hard to conceal.

Li Rongjing shook her head nonchalantly and said comfortingly: "Mother, please don't blame yourself. We also pity you very much and sincerely hope that you can recover as soon as possible and live a healthy and happy life like an ordinary woman..."

"Mother, remember to bring more servants and guards with you on this trip, to ensure your own safety and to protect my younger sister. Tomorrow morning, Rong'er will go to the Taifu's residence in person. Mother, don't worry about Rong'er, she has grown up."

"Very good, my daughter has grown up..." Mrs. Li smiled with relief.

"..."

Liu Qingshuang was worried that the girl from the Li family would feel embarrassed or ashamed, so she could only whisper to her the news of the upcoming marriage between the two families.

Yu Menghua looked at Li Rongjing with joy, only to see that her face was flushed with shyness, and she was as charming and lovely as the gorgeous sunset in the sky.

Yu Menghua thought, I'd better stop teasing her, Sister Rong is too shy...

My second brother is really quick!

Last time, I just hinted to him that Madam Li was looking for a suitable young man from a prominent family for Sister Rong, but my second brother disappeared like a gust of wind in an instant.

I didn't expect that he could quietly "kidnap" such a beautiful wife home, hahaha!

"Sister Rong hasn't come to play with Huaer for several days. Is it because my second brother is too annoying?" Yu Menghua asked with a mischievous smile, blinking her bright big eyes.

Li Rong, who was standing by, sighed inwardly that this little girl was becoming more and more eccentric. She could not help but glare at her and said helplessly:

"Sister Hua'er, you seem to be very comfortable staying at home all day, but you don't know that since the day after Miss Yu got married, a big event has happened in Fengdu City!"

"I was also detained at home by my mother and have never left the house..."

In fact, even if Li Rongjing didn't say it, Yu Menghua knew what had happened recently. Feng Chengyin climbed over her wall every two or three days to tell her where their plan was going...

It turned out that the courtyard that Feng Chengyin had Yingluo and the people from Youying Pavilion surround that day was actually the private property of the Second Prince.

There are always people practicing martial arts guarding inside all year round, but generally no one pays attention to such a dilapidated yard.

But the destination of the secret passage inside is a farm outside the capital, where there are many children who are being secretly trained.

When Ying Luo and his men hurriedly arrived at the scene, what they saw was a miserable and terrifying scene that looked like hell on earth!

Even though they were also elite secret guards who had gone through countless life-and-death tests and were carefully selected from the crowd, facing such a tragic situation, even these battle-hardened tough guys could not help but feel heartbroken and their eyes welled up.

Those children were obviously treated extremely cruelly!

The crowd thought that these children must have been abducted and forced to undergo cruel training.

The people behind the scenes attempted to use these people to form their own private army. Regardless of whether their intention was to rebel or for other reasons, they were utterly unscrupulous!

The oldest of those half-grown children looked only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old!

The boys all had blank expressions on their faces, like puppets. Even when they saw a stranger coming in, they were still like puppets without any instructions. They only glanced at Yingzhou and his group, and then continued to shrink in their corners, without a trace of life...
