Her Entire Court Reborn with Her in the Modern World

Chapter 109: Chapter 108: Hua Shao: At Least Your Majesty Acts Human

Hua Shao had been feeling guilty ever since she bullied an elementary school student with a college-level math problem.

Although she still believed that the Gold age to learn calculus was twelve. If someone couldn’t master it by that age, they would never get the hang of it later in life.

Since she had run into an elementary school student who was still doing math problems at nine in the evening, she naturally felt the need to properly tutor them. As it happened, she finished work early today and had just rejected her own students’ papers.

However, the video call was declined.

[Only I am the first]: Dad said I shouldn’t answer calls from strangers. AI is very advanced nowadays. What if you steal my face and use it to scam my poor, elderly dad?

Hua Shao was speechless.

She pondered for a moment and realized that the statement actually made some sense.

[Only I am the first]: [Image]

[Only I am the first]: I don’t need your help. I’ve already finished it.

Hua Shao paused, clicked on the image, and found that it was true. Even though they were just elementary school problems, finishing them in under three minutes meant this kid had a boundless future—they seemed much more capable than her own students. Math really had to be learned from a young age.

So, Hua Shao thoughtfully sent over a few problems that she considered very simple.

[HS]: When you’re capable of solving these problems, come find me at Mingjing University.

Hua Shao opened another chat window and leisurely typed a message.

[HS]: Your daughter has pretty strong anti-fraud awareness. You’ve taught her well. But you can actually be scammed by AI? You really disappoint me.

[God of Delicious Cake]: Let me tell you, you’re a pig! The stupidest pig in the world!

[HS]: Your vocabulary is truly lacking. Did you hide when humanity was evolving? Your cerebrum is underdeveloped, and your cerebellum didn’t develop at all.

[God of Delicious Cake]: I’m so mad! You’re just a massive pig head!

Hua Shao shrugged. She figured she shouldn’t bully this poor, elderly father anymore. After setting her phone down, she began preparing her lesson plans for the next day.

KNOCK KNOCK. Someone tapped on the door, followed by a voice. "Professor Yan, you’re not going to tomorrow’s lecture, right? After all, you don’t even consider the students in the audience to be human."

Hua Shao glanced at Professor Bai. "Do you want a bowl of jellied tofu brains for a midnight snack?"

Professor Bai was completely baffled. "Why would I eat jellied tofu brains this late at night?"

Hua Shao replied, "Because even tofu has brains, but you don’t."

Professor Bai was furious. "Yan Shaohua, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Hua Shao said leisurely, "Just because you don’t have a brain doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want."

Professor Bai was fuming. "I won’t lower myself to your level."

Hua Shao admired the shiny bald head in front of her. "Oh, by the way, I also have more hair than you."

Professor Bai was speechless. He was going to complain to the principal first thing tomorrow morning!

Meanwhile, Shi Changying stared silently at the practice problems she had just received. At a glance, she could still recognize some familiar formulas, but the content overall was still beyond her current scope of knowledge. She forwarded the image to Shaoyuan.

[Kindhearted Person (I Can Take His Place)]: High school math competition problems. Not difficult, but they require some clever thinking.

Shi Changying felt a bit of regret. Her math skills had only just reached a seventh-grade level.

After finishing a set of math test papers, Shi Changying memorized a few hundred more vocabulary words. Right before bed, she received several messages of greetings.

[Lu Mi]: Yingying, see you next week!

[Thank You]: Good night, Your Majesty.

[Qingyuan]: Sister Ying, get some rest early. I would be so touched if you could come visit me on set.

Shi Changying replied to them one by one. A few seconds later, she remembered she had missed someone and tapped on that solid black profile picture again.

[Only I am the first]: The day of loving me can now end.

Having just stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist, Shaoyuan caught a glimpse of the lit-up screen. His brow suddenly arched. She certainly learned fast.

DING. His phone chimed again with another message.

[God of Delicious Cake]: I knew this HS was a pig! Her brain must be malfunctioning!

[God of Delicious Cake]: I’m elderly? I’m poor? What a joke! I’m twenty-seven, right in the prime of my life!

Shaoyuan couldn’t be bothered to reply to him. After sending a "Good night" back to Shi Changying, he changed his clothes and headed out.

The next day was the weekend, and Shi Changying enjoyed a rare opportunity to sleep in. After washing up, she headed downstairs to find quite a few people in the living room.

"Changying is finally up?" Xu Zhao Yu smiled. "The weather is gorgeous today. It’s a shame you missed the beautiful sight of the morning sun shining down on the garden at seven."

Shi Changying accepted a bag of meat buns from Ming Chengli and replied at a leisurely pace, "I am a budding flower of the motherland, currently thriving and growing. No matter what time it is, the sun will always shine upon me."

Xu Zhao Yu’s smile slightly froze.

"Chengli, since you’ve just returned, there’s an important matter I haven’t discussed with you yet," Old Madam Xu said sternly. "In a few days, I’ll have your second brother take you for a visit to our family’s company."

Ming Chengli blanked for a moment. "Company?"

"You’ve just come back, so you aren’t familiar with the structure of Xu Group yet," Old Madam Xu said. "Aren’t you on leave recently? You should use this time to go and take a look around the company."

Ming Chengli scratched his head. "Ah, as for the company, I just—"

Before he could finish, Shi Changying clamped a hand over his mouth. "Okay, he’ll go tomorrow."

Ming Chengli’s eyes widened. "Mmph, mmph!"

Old Madam Xu’s blood boiled at the sight of this insubordinate behavior, but she managed to suppress her anger. "Master Yan is arriving tomorrow. You will follow Master Yan, study calligraphy properly, and cultivate your temperament."

Shi Changying dragged Ming Chengli away.

"She’s... she’s really going to be the death of me!" Old Madam Xu clutched her chest. "Chengli must spoil her too much normally. When elders are speaking, what right does a junior have to interrupt?"

"Mom, please don’t be angry." Xu Zhao Yu gently patted her back and smiled. "I actually think Changying has a straightforward personality. With that temper, she won’t be bullied by outsiders."

"Is that what you call straightforward? I call it ill-mannered and uncultured!" Old Madam Xu’s lingering anger hadn’t subsided.

Xu Zhao Yu hesitated. "However, Fourth Brother has never had any contact with the pharmaceutical industry. Won’t he have a hard time adapting to the company?"

"That’s exactly why he needs to go and try it out first." Old Madam Xu sighed heavily. "I really don’t want to see him running around all day chasing after useless history. What kind of name could he possibly make for himself doing that?"

He was, after all, her own flesh and blood whom she carried for ten months. How could she just sit by and watch Ming Chengli be mediocre and accomplish nothing for his entire life? She was just bitterly disappointed that he wasn’t living up to his potential! If Ming Chengli were even a tenth as sensible as Xu Zhao Yu, she wouldn’t have to expend so much mental energy on him.

Xu Zhao Yu pursed her lips. "Mom, I know you’re only looking out for Fourth Brother, but we still need to take it step by step. I just heard a rumor that people from the Medical Science Academy have come to Jianghuai for an inspection."

"Really?" Old Madam Xu was taken aback. "Are they here to select a partner?"

"Mom, it’s definitely true." Xu Zhao Yu smiled. "If we can secure a partnership with them, Xu Group will reach new heights and gain the ability to expand internationally."

"Excellent! Zhao Yu, your information couldn’t have come at a better time." A hint of excitement showed on Old Madam Xu’s face. "If we manage to secure this partnership, you will have played a massive part in it."

Xu Zhao Yu offered a gentle, modest smile. "I don’t understand medicine, so I’m always just looking for other ways to help you and Dad."

"But did you manage to find out who exactly is coming?" Old Madam Xu asked. "I only remember that a couple of years ago, a certain pharmacist from the Medical Science Academy invented a drug that conquered a major medical challenge!"

No one knew this person’s background, but everyone referred to them as the reincarnation of the Medicine King, a true miracle worker.
