Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Yu Zhen was caught off guard and blinked in disbelief. When exactly did this happen? Her empty eyes made him even more worried.

"Whose blood?" he asked in a low and calm voice.

"My biological father."

He was struck by lightning, stunned, and she spoke with such indifference that he had to stop and reassess her character.

Yu Zhen thought of her own life experience. It was said that her biological father raped Viscountess Bai Yihua, which was a capital crime, not to mention that it was Li Xueyue's fault.

"So how do you feel?" Yu Zhen asked.

"I feel guilty, but also relieved. He ruined my life before it even started, and now he wants to ruin my future. He's such a coward to try to use me against his own brother."

It dawned on him. He understood why she did this. She was scared. And her instinct was to kill... What kind of woman had he married?

“My whole life I’ve been fighting for survival,” she said slowly. “So… fighting for the future doesn’t bother me.”

Yu Zhen didn't believe her. He could see the guilt deep in her heart.

"Then why do you look so hurt?"

Li Xueyue opened her lips slightly. Was she hurt? Li Xueyue rubbed her aching chest.

Li Xueyue didn't have to look hard for the answer. It was right on her lips, but she never said it. No one would listen to her without judgment.

But Yu Zhen is different. He has lived a similar life to hers, with varying degrees of cruelty. He will not use her words to refute her.

Not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to. She trusted him so much, but sometimes she forgot this crucial detail. Sometimes, she was immersed in fear. He could always comfort her, but only time could heal her pain.

Li Xueyue licked her lips. Finally, there was something that could distract her more than anger.

"I feel bad because... he dragged me into the abyss of hell without hesitation. As my biological father, shouldn't he feel some remorse, sympathy, or pain? I even sympathize with his greed that night. It's better than nothing."

Li Xueyue was startled, and Yu Zhen suddenly patted her on the back of the head, as if praising her for speaking her mind.

“It must be hard to share this,” Yu Zhen said fondly. “But I’m glad you told me.”

Li Xueyue stared at his chest with wide eyes. This... was not the reaction she had imagined. Deep down, she expected him to be disgusted. She was burdened, but he didn't even blink. Why was that?

Why did he love her? This question sometimes haunted her mind. What did she give him to make him love her so much?

“Everything will be alright, Yangguang.” Yu Zhen pulled her close and hugged her tightly, trying to squeeze out the pain from her.

The pain in the corner of her eyes gradually dissipated, and she gently closed her eyelids, enjoying his comfort. Deep in her heart, she still had some resentment towards Xu Jiaqi, but she would talk about it later.

"Why do you love me?" She asked without hesitation.

"Then why do you love me?" he asked back, emphasizing the word "you".

"I really have a lot to say, but they are all old-fashioned stuff. And you still dare to bully and tease me after I said it." Li Xueyue muttered.

Li Xueyue hugged him tighter. Just now, she wanted to be alone, wanted to lie on the bed, cry, wanted to bury herself in the quilt and not come out for a moment.

But now, Li Xueyue longed for something else. She longed for his comfort, his warmth, his attention. These things made her forget the pain temporarily until the pain finally disappeared. However, it would come back eventually. It always came back. How could it not come back?

Something that could have been a part of their lives is gone.

"You know me too well, Sunshine."

Li Xueyue laughed. It was a faint, small laugh, but it was a laugh nonetheless. His arms held her tightly.

"But do you really want to know, Sunshine?" he whispered.

Li Xueyue shook her head, "I don't need to know, you have proved it countless times."

Yu Zhen reached out and stroked her hair. Her hair was no longer dripping with water, but it felt wet to the touch. He hugged her tightly, fearing that she would catch a cold.

"It's strange, I'm so confused, but you can be so calm... How do you do it?"

"Someone has to be the voice of reason here, Sunshine."

Li Xueyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What I said makes sense."

"Yes, to a certain extent."

"the same as you."

Xu Jiaqi ran for her life. She thought she would never feel relieved if he ignored her. But just this time, she felt relieved. He ignored her and rushed into the bedroom, which gave her more time to escape.

"She said to turn left, then right, and then left again." Xu Jiaqi sighed as she walked quickly along the corridor. As she rushed deeper into the palace, the road became darker and darker.

Just then, she felt a figure behind her.

Xu Jiaqi turned around suddenly, and was shocked to think that she would be caught. But there was no one there, only her slender shadow sliding on the ground. She touched her chest tremblingly, trying to catch her breath.

"Fool."

Xu Jiaqi screamed and looked back again. This time, she saw clearly who was chasing her.

"Do you really think you can escape the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Who are you?!" Xu Jiaqi reached for the dagger, her eyes widening in shock. There was only one person in front of her.

Xu Jiaqi almost laughed out loud. The Crown Princess didn't love her wife so much that she only sent a guard? Perhaps, those rumors about his feelings were really just rumors, nothing more.

"It's useless to arrest me," Xu Jiaqi said confidently, "I didn't do anything wrong. I have someone to testify. You'd better turn around and pretend you didn't see me."

Xu Jiaqi raised her chin and said, "If there is even a hair's worth of error, my benefactor will hang you, your family, and even your children."

The man didn't respond, but tilted his head. Even when he saw the obvious knife hidden behind her belt, he didn't move.

Suddenly, he showed a cold smile, just like his master.

Xu Jiaqi narrowed her eyes. Why was his expression so creepy? Was he trying to scare her? That was absolutely not okay, especially after all the hardships she had gone through.

"What a silly little girl..." he whispered.

Before Xu Jiaqi could react, her wrist was grabbed by something. Suddenly, a piece of cloth tightly covered her eyes, and something with a pungent smell was stuffed into her mouth. She was tied up and dragged to a place that would send her to hell again.
