Her Entire Court Reborn with Her in the Modern World

Chapter 94: Chapter 93: The Young Master’s Indulgence, Pei Xuan Strikes Again!

"The Xu family?" Housekeeper Pei was a little puzzled. "Is the Young Master planning to discuss business with the Xu family? I remember the Xu family seems to be in the medical and pharmaceutical industry. We’ve never been involved in that sector."

"What business would I discuss with them?" Pei Xuan scoffed lightly. "Wasn’t that little girl just taken back by the Xu family today? The Xu family and the Meng family are in-laws. Since they were humiliated, they might just close their doors and beat the child tonight."

He didn’t have much of an impression of the Xu family. His few recollections were that the eldest brother of the Xu family was a doctor for Doctors Without Borders, the second was a military officer, and the third seemed to be a professor. Beyond that, he knew nothing.

Housekeeper Pei suddenly realized. "I see! Young Master, you are truly so compassionate!"

Their Young Master might be a bit arrogant and sharp-tongued, but he actually had a very good heart.

Pei Xuan was silent for a moment before speaking. "Actually, in the past, I was also ignorant."

Four hundred years ago, he was born into the Jianghuai Pei Family. The Pei Family was the head of the Four Great Aristocratic Houses, and he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everything he ate, drank, wore, and used was the very best. He could have whatever he wanted.

At that time, what did he know about the suffering of the common people? Because he had never experienced true hardship, of course, he didn’t understand. So he was arrogant enough to attempt to assassinate the Empress, thinking he was ridding the people of a menace.

Later, the Empress came to Jianghuai and first slaughtered several vassal families of the Pei Family. There was only one reason for it: greed. These families were greedy beyond measure, wantonly extorting the people’s hard-earned wealth. While countless commoners froze to death on the streets, they indulged in merrymaking within their mansions.

Only then did Pei Xuan realize that his immediate surroundings were not the whole world. In places he couldn’t see, tragedies and miseries he couldn’t even imagine were unfolding. The Jianghuai Pei Family had numerous descendants, and naturally, there were such corrupt individuals among them. Therefore, he cooperated with her to purge the entire Pei Family. Later, he understood that the purpose of standing at the top was, in fact, to shield those at the bottom from the wind and rain.

"Young Master, everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant. Let the past stay in the past," Housekeeper Pei advised. "Even though you caught the old master’s pet fish out of the tank and roasted it to eat when you were little, the old master only beat you once and let the matter drop."

Pei Xuan was speechless. He smiled. "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute."

Housekeeper Pei immediately fell silent. After all, Pei Xuan was driving, and his little life was important.

Pei Xuan said coldly, "Also, nothing can just stay in the past!"

He closed his eyes, his fists clenching tightly. Before his eyes, scenes of intertwining fresh blood and white bones flashed, accompanied by endless cries and screams. Plundering their lands, massacring their people, stealing their cultural relics. How could it stay in the past? In what way could it be forgotten? It was impossible to let it go!

The car suddenly made a sharp turn. Housekeeper Pei let out a miserable scream. "Young Master, I get carsick... I’m getting carsick!"

SCREECH!

Pei Xuan brought the car to a halt. He slowly exhaled, suppressing the hatred in his heart, before asking, "Xie Qing... What moves has Xie Lin made today?"

Housekeeper Pei contacted a professional and, upon receiving a reply, said, "Young Master, he went to Thirteen Street."

"He ran off to treat someone to a meal again?" Pei Xuan clicked his tongue. "It seems that whether or not he makes the trending search has no effect on him. It perfectly saved me the money I would have spent to put him on the trending list."

Housekeeper Pei agreed, "The money saved can be used to buy more fish food. If the old master returns from the hospital and finds that his pet fish has starved and lost weight, he will definitely be heartbroken."

Pei Xuan said, "Do you believe I’ll throw you off the bridge?"

Housekeeper Pei remained silent.

Shi Changying, fully fed and satisfied, returned to the Meng family’s villa. The birthday banquet had also reached its end, and the guests were standing up one after another to take their leave.

Ming Chengli glanced behind her but didn’t spot Shaoyuan. He couldn’t help but wonder, "Where’s Little Shao?"

Shi Changying yawned. "He left."

"He just left like that?" Ming Chengli was completely baffled. "Did he come to the banquet just to take you out for a late-night snack?"

"Probably." Shi Changying looked lazy. "He really is a kind-hearted person."

Ming Chengli fell silent. It actually proved Xu Shuangqiao’s words true; this young master was indeed spoiling his daughter a bit. Even though the two were peers, why did it seem like a senior indulging a junior? He pulled back his thoughts and coughed twice. "Changying, let’s go."

Shi Changying nodded. She had packed a fruit platter, planning to eat it as a bedtime snack.

"Senior Sister, wait!" Meng Qi’an secretly chased after them. He fidgeted a bit before pulling out a box. "This is for you."

Shi Changying didn’t even look at it. "I don’t want it if it doesn’t taste good."

Meng Qi’an was dumbfounded. "Ah? But... but my mom said I absolutely have to give this to you. She said courtesy demands reciprocity. You gave me Sister Yuanyuan’s autographed photo, so I have to give you a return gift."

Shi Changying said, "No need. I bestowed that autographed photo upon you."

"Changying, don’t bully him," Ming Chengli spoke up in time. "I’ll accept it on her behalf. Little Meng, about your position as the school boss, actually—"

Meng Qi’an immediately covered his ears and ran away. He wasn’t listening; he wouldn’t listen!

Ming Chengli didn’t know what to say. Had this Little Meng suffered some kind of brain trauma? He wanted to call Meng Qi’an back, but the boy ran too fast and vanished from sight in a flash.

"Changying..." Ming Chengli hesitated before asking, "When you beat him up earlier, you didn’t hit him in the head, did you?"

Shi Changying recalled for a moment. "No, I hit him on the shoulders."

Ming Chengli breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. It wasn’t a problem caused by his daughter’s beating; it seemed he was born that way.

Running into the garden, Meng Qi’an felt very sad. He was afraid he would never be able to snatch back his throne as the school boss. No, he had to continue practicing his martial arts hard! He could definitely make a comeback and rise from the ashes! Meng Qi’an clenched his fists, cheering himself up.

"Did you give it to her?" Right at this moment, Meng Jingzhu’s voice sounded behind him.

Meng Qi’an shuddered in fright and immediately stood up straight. "I gave it to her, Mom."

Meng Jingzhu looked him up and down and sneered. "If you dare to fail even a single subject in next month’s joint examination, I’ll send you to the mines in the Southern Region to dig coal."

Meng Qi’an turned pale with fright. "Do I not even have the qualifications to set up a stall on a downtown pedestrian bridge to apply screen protectors anymore?"

Meng Jingzhu replied, "No. With your IQ, you’re not qualified to steal their jobs."

Meng Qi’an was left speechless.

At nine-thirty in the evening, inside the Xu family’s villa. Old Sir Xu and Old Madam Xu were both sitting on the sofa, their expressions looking terrible. Then, the front door opened, and Shi Changying strolled in leisurely.

Old Sir Xu said coldly, "Shi Changying, do you know where you went wrong today?"

Shi Changying stopped in her tracks, looking quite amused. "I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?"

She admitted she was also a very arrogant person, but sometimes she had a very good temper. When that bunch of treacherous ministers and sycophants argued their cases in the past, she would always let them finish speaking first. After all, dead people couldn’t speak.

Old Sir Xu furrowed his brow, his voice growing even colder. "First, you disrespect your elders. Second, you speak insolently. Third, you are incredibly vulgar!"

Shi Changying clapped her hands in praise. "Making completely baseless accusations sound perfectly reasonable is also a kind of skill."

"You glib-tongued brat!" Old Sir Xu laughed out of anger. "Whatever you did before, at least it was behind closed doors. Your grandmother and I endured it, considering you had just been brought back. But look at what you’ve done today!"

Old Madam Xu glared coldly at Shi Changying. "She must face the family discipline and kneel in the ancestral hall!"

Outside, Housekeeper Pei, who had just stepped into the garden, heard this and immediately hollered, "Young Master, just as you predicted! As soon as the Xu family closed their doors, they started beating the child!"
