Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 1: Prayer Hall
Someone is going to die tonight.
Thunder crackled in the distance, and heavy rain poured down from the gloomy gray clouds. The rivers almost flooded the forests, trees fell down, and crops turned over.
Everywhere he looked, chaos broke out.
In the huge Bai Mansion, a pale-faced girl hovered over a bleeding corpse. Less than a minute ago, she had just woken up from her sleep. She didn't remember what happened before she woke up in the small room in the servant corridor.
Xueyue gasped in shock, her eyes trembling with disbelief.
In front of her lay the body of the old woman who had taken care of her father, Viscount Bai Sheng, since childhood. A sharp hairpin had pierced her chest, and a pool of blood soaked the ground.
"What's going on here?" she said through chattering teeth. She frantically turned the woman over until the nanny was flat on her back.
"Oh, my," she whispered as she saw the pale lips and white skin. The nanny had been dead for hours. She reached for the hairpin, hoping to identify whose it belonged to. Who could have done this? What was she doing here? Questions filled her mind.
Just then, without warning, the door slammed open. Her head shot in that direction, and to her horror, her entire family was there.
"Murderer!" Sister Bai Tianai wailed and pointed in the direction of Bai Xueyue with trembling fingers.
Bai Xueyue immediately understood that this was another conspiracy set up by Bai Tianai. But this time, she couldn't escape. She was doomed to fail. Everything here was too obvious to ignore. After all, she was hovering above the corpse, and her hands were too close to the murder weapon.
"No, wait, Father, that's not me—"
"Guards!" Viscount Bai Sheng roared, his face full of disgust and pure hatred. Immediately, the room was filled with servants, who were armed with spears and weapons.
"Drag this filthy scum to the prayer hall!"
"Mom, please, this is not me!" Bai Xueyue screamed, and the evil police grabbed her arms and forced her to surrender.
Bai Xueyue knew that the Viscount would never stand on her side, but his wife, Viscountess Mu Yihua, would most likely feel sympathy for her daughter.
Viscount Mu Yihua was frozen by the door, her eyes bigger than the full moon outside. Her attention shifted from her pleading daughter to the body on the floor. One thing was certain. Bai Xueyue was doomed. Whether she killed the viscount's nanny or not, she could not escape this punishment.
Deep inside the prayer hall, a young girl was screaming for help. Unfortunately, her cries were drowned out by the storm outside.
Even so, nearly every guard outside the prayer hall's gates could hear the sickening sound of the wooden paddle hitting the skinny child repeatedly, and they did not flinch as her anguished howls bounced off the walls.
They are so used to this sound.
Bai Xueyue's face was covered in blood and bruises. Her bright hazel eyes had lost their luster, her rosy lips were parted, and her cheeks were covered with wounds. There were ugly purple bruises on her neck, and every plea became hoarse and almost speechless.
She was only in her early sixteens and her whole life was flashing before her eyes.
"Please..." She sobbed, struggling against the weight on her. Through the corner of her hazy eyes, she saw the vague figure of her childhood best friend Zheng Leiyu. A man she loved deeply, but he despised her.
Like any man who covets power and wealth, Zheng Leiyu decides to pursue the eldest daughter in the family, Xueyue's sister.
Bai Tianai is the most favored child in the Bai family. As long as it is something she wants, she will get it without any scruples.
Xueyue is good at archery, horse riding, swordsmanship, and has a face that can easily make men obey her commands. She should have been a sparrow soaring in the sky, but she trusted the wrong person and had her wings broken.
"It's not me!" Xueyue shouted hoarsely, but it sounded like an old woman's breathing.
Zheng Leiyu glared at her condescendingly, as if she was a sinner who slaughtered his entire family. In fact, her only sin was loving him.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Xueyue decided to go to someone else to plead for mercy. Viscount Baisheng, accompanied by his wife, sat in a corner of the cold and dark room of the prayer hall.
They drank their tea carefree as if they were watching koi carp swimming around in a pond on a warm summer day.
Viscount Bai Sheng glared at Xue Yue. His dark and cold eyes were filled with disdain and hatred. Facing the horrific scene before him, his eyes did not reveal any regret.
If she hadn't been such an unfilial child, perhaps he would have loved her more. "Stupid girl," he thought to himself. "Useless boy," he added.
Bai Xueyue was not his blood relative. But she inherited the blood of Viscountess Mu Yihua. The unfortunate Viscountess Mu Yihua claimed that she was raped after running home one night.
The perpetrator has never been caught. A child is growing inside her - Bai Xueyue. Considering that she is not the daughter of Viscount Bai Sheng, it is a miracle that her offspring inherited the surname Bai.
In Viscount Bai Sheng's eyes, the least Bai Xueyue could do was to bring honor to the family. On the contrary, she was considered a murderer.
Viscount Bai Sheng shook the teacup in his hand. "Do something about that nasty mouth," he ordered his men, who exchanged nervous glances.
Viscount Mu Yihua tried hard to stay calm. Her nimble fingers clenched the green ceramic in her hand painfully. A closer look revealed that the tea was trembling.
How could a mother tolerate such a thing?
Seeing her daughter's pitiful appearance, tears came to her eyes, but she could do nothing but watch. She couldn't speak for Xueyue.
She never could.
Viscount Bai Sheng also held the facts above his head: Xueyue was an unpopular product. It was something that should have been shameful, but it was saved because of his generosity.
Viscount Bai Sheng made his wife believe that Xue Yue was not worth anything.
"I swear I woke up in the room and she was lying there dead! I didn't kill her!" Xueyue's miserable cries pierced the servant's heart.
Many people found the scene unbearable. They prayed that it would be over soon.
"Tian Ai framed me!" Xue Yue shouted naively, hoping to convince her father. But when Tian Ai was mentioned, Viscount Bai Sheng's mood obviously worsened.
He threw the cup onto the table next to him with such force that it broke the table.
This sudden force almost made Viscount Mu Yihua jump up. She lowered her head and stared at her tea. "How dare you drag your sister into this!"
poor child.
Xueyue looked exactly like her unknown father. No one knew the man who touched the Viscountess, no one except the lady herself.
Viscount Mu Yihua's heart trembled. Her little daughter really didn't look like Bai Tianai at all. Their looks were so different, but that didn't mean Xue Yue wasn't beautiful.
Oh my god, Xueyue is so gorgeous. Her flaw is that she is too naive and doesn't use it to her advantage. If she plays her cards right, maybe she can become a famous beauty in Hechen.
Her curious autumn hazel would have made her popular among scholars. Her naturally pink lips, the color of a peony, should have made even the worst player bend their knees. Yet, none of this happened. They didn't happen because she was too invested in a man who had never loved her back.
Hearing her husband's thunderous voice, Viscount Mu Yihua suddenly came back to her senses.
Despite their years of marriage, she still trembled at his terrible voice.
Little did she know that in her daydream, Viscount Bai Sheng had already rushed towards Xue Yue, whose white clothes were torn and stained with blood and false guilt.
"You are just a stinky boy that no one wants!" Viscount Bai Sheng yelled at Xue Yue. He was holding a cup of freshly brewed tea, which was still steaming.
Before anyone could react, he pinched Xueyue's delicate chin.
"Father..." Before Xueyue could finish her words, Viscount Baisheng had already stuffed boiling hot tea into her throat.
A loud scream pierced the silent air. Her cry was so chilling that people flinched.
Xueyue tried to break free from her father's embrace, but her father was as strong as iron. More tears rolled down her eyes.
Seeing Xueyue's disgusting look, Viscount Bai Sheng threw her back to the ground.
Even the servants felt sorry for the poor girl. She was only sixteen years old! Such a punishment was too harsh and too severe for such a weak girl!
"Keep fighting." Viscount Bai Sheng said to his men, who immediately nodded.
As the men raised their oars and continued to beat, the servants shrank back. They had not expected the elegant Viscount Bai to be so rude and cruel to her. No one knew the Bai family's secret about Xueyue.
Viscount Mu Yihua gently placed his hand on his bulging belly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Noticing his wife's distress, Viscount Bai Sheng turned to look at her with a gentle smile.
Superstitious signs indicated that she was pregnant with a boy, and Viscount Bai Sheng would finally have a child.
"If you continue to listen to or watch such scenes, it will harm the children. I will end it now." Viscount Bai Sheng said gently to his wife.
Viscount Mu Yihua was immediately panicked when he heard his words. "Wait, my husband——"
"I've had enough. Kill her." Viscount Bai Sheng asked.
As the guards raised their oars, lightning flashed in the distance. The sound of the sky immediately merged with the sound of the head hitting the ground, and a flash of lightning revealed a pool of blood on the ground.
The pain was so unbearable that Xueyue didn't realize what was happening to her. Her eyes filled with tears and black spots blurred her vision.
In her blurred vision, she saw Viscount Bai Sheng walking out of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests with his pregnant wife.
The last thing Xueyue saw before she passed out was Leiyu bending down and placing a kiss on Tianai’s lips.
Hatred and the desire for revenge seized Xueyue's heart. With her last breath, Xueyue vowed to avenge the injustice she had suffered.
