The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 141: Shao Cheng Another Day Of Interaction With His Family.

"Young Master Cheng, Madams has asked if you would like to have dinner with them tonight?"

Shao Cheng who has been sitting on top of his bed while having his eyes close didn't so much as make a twitch even after hearing the rather soft and gentle voice of a young woman standing outside his door.

"Young Master Cheng?"

After a silent moment of no one speaking, the young woman that has been waiting for even a reply back has lower her head down in disappointment while unable to hide the way that her voice seemed to feel a bit saddened when she has spoken.

"I see I will inform the Madams that you won't be dining with them today."

No matter how the young woman acted pitifully, Shao Cheng has never deemed to give even a single shred of attention to the person called Mei, although he was acting extremely cold and indifferent toward her, it doesn't make him even feel an ounce of guilt and remorse.

Shao Cheng will never forget what this young woman has done toward him in the previous life, even if this is a new life and this young woman hasn't signed yet, that nature of her was something that wouldn't change because of experience and circumstances, after all, her obsession toward him is genuine and true.

Besides, it was not like he was only treating her alone with indifference and coldness so she was not being given some special treatment.

"... for now, I only found out five families"

Sensing that Mei has left, Shao Cheng murmured those words because the entire time that he was staying inside his bedroom he was using his special power to monitor the entire Shao residence while looking for the spy that has been planted inside or which people has been bought over by their enemies.

"Hehe that family is truly ambitious."

So, they already planted someone inside the Shao Family too?

Shao Cheng lip couldn't help but raises in a gentle arc since he once more heard the family that has just performed on targeting his older brother Shao Yan a few days ago and now they seemed to be planning on making moving once more after the failed attempt.

Honestly, their determination to climb up the rank is truly remarkable, its just too bad that they have chosen the Shao Family to use as a stepping stone. 

"... need to remove them a bit faster then"

Such courage and daring attitude are going to become troublesome enemies to deal with once they have grown their wings, especially if that higher up from his memories has once more have taken great interest in their family.

"... not this time though... I won't let you climb up using the Shao Family once more"

Butterfly effect will happen, Shao Cheng isn't worried and nervous about taking out a family that has caused important movements in the previous life which will definitely cause many changes occurring in the later future, in the first place, there is no reason to hesitate and keep doubting his actions because nothing will happen if he is always being afraid to even make a move.

Besides Shao Cheng will be removing one of the important and outstanding subordinates of one of the already powerful wives of the Emperor, which will also cause the balance of power between the wives in the harem to focus more on each other.

Although, they appeared pacified by the only talent of the present Emperor to keep his excellent wives in a tight hold but there is no way that they will be behave nicely forever since fighting for the throne for their sons will happened no matter what.

It was a situation where the winner will live and all the remaining losers will die.

However, Shao Cheng also needs to locate a certain important person that has started the chaos in the peaceful Palace as fast as he can though, but for now, after a few hours of thinking numerous ideas in mind while observing his previous life memories, Shao Cheng has suddenly detected Mei suddenly appearing while hanging out just a distance away from his residence.

"..."

It's already in the middle of the night ah, this is not good, Shao Cheng will not be able to take a proper rest having a snake hiding in the shadow while being eyed as prey, although his lip couldn't help but curl up when he senses his second brother Shao Chonglin hiding in the opposite side of where Mei has been creepily staring his direction.

Although, Shao Cheng knew that Mei will not try to climb his bed so early on but her actions are already good enough reason to cause suspicion to his family.

He wanted to let them raised their guards against their people, those naive actions and thinking of theirs need to be polished off.

"Well... I'm not going to sleep tonight though"

So for the rest of the entire night, Shao Cheng has been practicing his special power while sensing the entire Shao residence once in a while in order to see if he could catch more spies around.

And before the morning sun has raised up high in the sky, Shao Cheng has already changed and groomed his appearance for another day.

When Shao Cheng opens the door, he already expected the standing figure of his second brother standing on his courtyard since base from his sensing, Shao Chonglin has stayed the entire day guarding him even when Mei has left.

"Morning Brother Chonglin"

Shao Chonglin couldn't help but slowly blink his eyes after being greeted by his younger brother before awkwardly glancing sideways while nodding his head, though Shao Cheng was able to glimpse of the red ears hidden behind those glossy black hair of his second brother.

Hm easily shy?

"... Good Morning, Little Cheng."

"Breakfast?"

For once, Shao Cheng has actively spoken to his caring second brother before walking on his side as they proceed to their dining hall while Mei that has somehow appeared with a refreshing appearance in order to wake him up was casually dismissed by Shao Chonglin.

The entire journey, the two of them walked in comfortable and peaceful silence.

Soon Shao Cheng and Shao Chonglin have reached the dining hall in which he receives a breathtakingly beautiful smile grace upon the faces of his two mothers as soon as they saw his figure while his two older sisters face brighten up while Shao Cai jolts up in happiness.

"Cheng!"

Shao Cheng has calmly spoken his greeting to his mothers, older sisters, and Shao Cai while the youngest child seemed to be sleeping late today, so there will be no drama and awkward atmosphere when eating their breakfast together.

And as soon as Shao Cheng sat down next to his second brother's side, he couldn't help but glance around the place when he didn't see the figure of Xixi.

"Oh, Little Cheng were you looking for your cousin Xixi? She was dragged away by her younger brother after your Aunt has quickly learned that her daughter has arrived in the Capital."

Xixi mother? Shao Cheng blinks his eyes before nodding his head, from what he can remember Xixi's mother is the wife of the older brother of his two mothers and is always trying to at least make Xixi behave normal as normal she can be which always fails every single time.

Although Shao Cheng couldn't help but remember the time that she has come barging toward him with a tearful face while furiously blaming him for her daughter's death while violently and fiercely trying to attack him with a knife.

Xixi death Shao Cheng just lowered his eyes after he remembers the cause of Xixi's death, although she didn't like Huang Ya one bit but Xixi has still faithfully fulfilled her duty and protected Huang Ya in which has taken her life away and it was all because of the promise that he has requested her for.

Somehow, the food on Shao Cheng's mouth tastes bland as he eats his breakfast, and despite the bright and happy expression of the people around him, he remained silent the whole time, fortunately, there was nothing suspicious about how he acted.

And after breakfast was over, Shao Cheng remained within his Mother's residence as he sat in one of the pavilions in their courtyards while Shao Yao, Shao Yanlin, and Shao Chonglin have an important matter to attend, although he can still remember their saddened and disappointed expression before they left.

While Su Yanlin has decided to once more bake those delicious snacks in which an excited Su Chunhua has followed along since she also wanted to try making food for him to eat.

"... T-Third Brother Cheng are you alright?"

Ah, Shao Cai there is a reason why you survive in the past when besides the two of us, everyone else in the entire Shao family has died.

Placing the teacup on the jade table, Shao Cheng glances at his younger brother that has been awkwardly sitting in silence while he completes some sort of his homework while staring at him with wide-eyed full of expectation and excitement once in a while.

"I'm fine."

Shao Cheng lip couldn't help but lift up a little bit when he can practically see an imaginary tail wagging in happiness and ears that twitch in an excited manner after hearing his reply back.

"Come, I'll help you with your work if you want me too."

Shao Cheng gently beckoned his hand while he invited his younger brother to get closer and sit by his side.

It wasn't surprising when among his siblings, Shao Cai will forever be Shao Cheng's favorite sibling among his brothers and sisters in which a small smile grace his lip that has become wider after seeing the stunned expression on Shao Cai young face.

While ignoring the fact if Shao Cheng is able to help with any homework of Shao Cai because of his wondering habit, Shao Cai has still practically rushed over with excitement with the scroll almost falling down on his hands and soon Shao Cai has listened the entire time with rapture attention while Shao Cheng explained what he couldn't understand on his homework.

After a while, Shao Cheng couldn't help but raise his hands to gently pat Shao Cai's head after seeing his young face on asking to be praised over after correctly learning what he doesn't know a while ago.

Shao Cai unlike the previous life, this time I promise that you will not be the only Shao remaining alive.

So for half the day, Shao Cheng has started to slowly integrate himself into his biological family, although there is a grumpy younger sister that appeared halfway, but everything has been good.
