Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

palace.

“It’s strange that you come to see me at such a strange time.” The second prince Wang Jing said lightly. He took a sip of his favorite jasmine tea, but shrank back at the disgusting taste. Although the aroma of the tea was fragrant and sweet, the tea was very bitter and disgusting.

The second prince probably thought it was because this pot of tea was not brewed by his favorite servant. In this room, the veiled woman could not be found. It was always like this whenever there were guests. Specifically, it was Wen Jinkai.

"You put too much sugar in your tea. It's disgusting and unhealthy," Wen Jinkai complained, taking the sugar bowl from his old friend. He slammed the hands of the impoverished prince.

"Uh, give me another spoonful. This tea is too bitter. It's not brewed right!" The second prince Wang Jing wailed.

The tea had no sugar, and the Second Prince couldn't drink it at all! Normally he didn't like sweet things, especially sugar in tea. Most importantly, he hated tea that wasn't made by his favorite servant. He couldn't complain. He risked his life to protect his servant from the commander's wrath.

“You should punish the servants for their incompetence.” Wen Jinkai frowned. “Have your people been abusing you with vulgar tea?” He took a sip of the tea and thought it was safe. There was no residual poison gas.

“No, of course not. You know, my servants will never bully me, and they are paid more than ordinary palace people. Besides, if they bully me, Mother will kill them.” Wang Jing sighed. “Even if they do, I won’t report it. Mother can be terrible.”

"It's not surprising that the queen has always been very protective of her sons." Wen Jinkai took a sip of tea and said. He found that there was nothing wrong with it. It was as bitter as his heart. Just like the tea he liked.

Wang Jing's eyes softened a little. "You are also considered her son, you know. Sometimes I think she loves you more than the rest of us."

“Her love is paranoid and overbearing.” Wen Jinkai sighed anxiously. “It has developed into something I despise.”

"What do you mean?" Wang Jing asked curiously.

Wen Jinkai looked around the empty teahouse. There was no one here except the two of them. The outer door was guarded by Wen Jinkai's men. No one dared to eavesdrop.

Wang Jing is not big-mouthed. He knows how to keep secrets. This is one of the reasons why Wen Jinkai often interacts with the second prince. Wen Jinkai can vent calmly without judgment.

"I heard a nasty rumor." Wen Jinkai muttered.

"about?"

"Queen."

"Why don't you call her mom?" Wang Jing frowned slightly. "You know, she'll like this. That's all she wants to hear from you."

Wen Jinkai was irritated by the Second Prince's unwavering loyalty to his mother, Queen Huiyun. But what could be done? She was such a good caregiver to all her children that none of them could find fault with her, just as she never found any flaws in them.

To her, the happiness of her children was more important than her own life.

The Queen would do anything to keep her children by her side. No matter how great the sin, no matter how terrible the risk. Her children were her life, her only joy, her only wealth. Queen Huixian loved all of her children. Even if she showed it in different ways - some more repulsive than the other.

“As always, this conversation must be between us alone and no one else,” Wenkincaid began.

"Of course." Wang Jing nodded firmly. "Besides, who should I tell about this?" He smiled and said, "You are the only brother who talks to me."

Wen Jinkai’s face darkened. He felt sorry for the Second Prince. This part of the palace must be lonely. No one came here unless it was to take care of Wang Jing, the neglected King of Wuyi.

"Mom believes that you will tell you all her secrets, doesn't she?" Wen Jinkai asked.

Wang Jing blinked. “I can’t tell you that. When it comes to other people’s conversations with me, my lips are sealed.”

"Tch, stingy."

"You're just a hypocrite." Wang Jing sneered. He put the teacup on the table. "So, what have you been thinking about?"

“Something disturbing was brought up the other day.”

"What day?"

"I went to see Li Xueyue this morning."

"Oh, yes, I remember! You were so excited about the meeting. It was the first time in nearly three years that I saw you chattering about something." Wang Jing omitted the part where Wen Jinkai often talked about Li Minghua for hours.

Everything the Second Prince didn't know about Minghua, he learned from Wen Jinkai. The commander kept talking about her. The day she moved into the palace was the happiest day of his life. However, it was also because of her that his life took the worst turn.

After Li Minghua, Wen Jinkai was no longer the same Wen Jinkai.

"Yeah, anyway, Xueyue said something very special, and I have never forgotten it, not even once."

"What's wrong? I know she gave the pendant back to you, but you still kept hers. And by the way, that's the stupidest thing you've ever done. How could you do that to a poor girl?"

"This is not the important issue we are discussing now," Wen Jinkai said sternly.

"Okay, okay, tell me what's bothering you." Wang Jing sighed and shook his head at his grumpy friend.

"Li Xueyue told me Minghua was suicidal."

"What?" Wang Jing whispered in shock. "How could she know? I thought this Miss Xueyue was innocent and ignorant? You said she was."

"I don't know how Li Xueyue knew that. She said she knew everything."

"Everything...? What does this mean?" Wang Jing asked, his eyes scanning the room nervously. Could it be that this girl Xueyue really discovered what happened in the palace?

The Second Prince swallowed his saliva. How much did this Li Xueyue know? Who told her? How did she find out? There were still many unanswered questions. This began to weigh on him. He knew he would soon go to his favorite servant.

"I don't think she knows much, except the fact that Li Minghua and I were once lovers." Wen Jinkai crossed his fingers. "But I have a bad feeling that she knows much more than that."

"Why don't you just ask her then?"

"You know I can't." Wen Jinkai groaned. "The entire Li family hates me. They guard Xueyue like a national treasure."

“If my daughter had a suitor like you, I would too.” Wang Jing snorted. “Your obsession and desire for control will obviously scare away parents and daughters.”

"I'm just paranoid because it's hard to find someone who really cares about me. I'm afraid of losing them and my circle of acquaintances becoming smaller..." Wen Jinkai's voice gradually faded, "It's hard for me to trust a person."

"I know you are like this, but your behavior is not healthy. Minghua tolerates it because she loves you more than she loves herself, even if it means loving you means hating herself." Wang Jing covered his mouth with a slap, frightened by his own words.

Wen Jinkai was in a bad mood.

"Wait, wait, Jincai, that's not what I meant. I just took my evening medication, so my brain isn't working so well right now."

In order to roar, Wen Jinkai waved his hand to refute the second prince's rudeness. "Anyway, we are not here to discuss my attitude. We are here to discuss what the queen did to my woman."

Wang Jing tensed up. He always defended his mother, but tonight, he couldn't. Because he knew his mother was wrong. He had physical evidence to prove it.
