Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 986: Old-Timer of the Itinerant World

"Sure, sure!" The middle-aged man said with a silly grin as he walked inside, thinking to himself, how kind Xiao Hong is to me! Once a month and she misses me this much, it seems my charm is not bad, to even pine for me to this extent.

Just at this moment, two skinny men walked past Old Hag.

"Nanny Sun, your business skills aren’t too shabby, eh? Another fish has taken the bait?" One of the men muttered through clenched teeth as they passed the Procuress.

Nanny Sun glanced to the side, seeing no one was paying attention, she also whispered back, "Isn’t it? Master, would you consider raising my salary?"

"That can be arranged, keep up the good work."

As they spoke, the figure had already walked past Nanny Sun, quickly stepping into Qinger Building.

Nanny Sun turned her head to look at their fading figures, then bent down to instruct a few girls, turned around, and returned to Qinger Building.

The private room on the second floor.

This was a deluxe room reserved especially for Xuexue by Nanny Sun.

Xuexue had just sat down when Nanny Sun hurried over, followed by two people looking like servant boys, carrying hot tea and pastries in their hands.

At the doorway, Nanny Sun took the hot tea and pastries from the servant boys and told them, "We won’t be needing you to serve here, you may leave."

"Yes."

The two servant boys bowed and retreated.

Seeing they had gone far, Nanny Sun then pushed the door open and entered, and after turning around, she closed the room door. The Master’s identity was a secret not to be recklessly exposed, so she was always extremely cautious, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for the Master.

"Master." Nanny Sun placed the hot tea and pastries on the table, and also poured a cup of hot tea for Xuexue, placing it in front of her.

"Hmm! Business has been good recently, I gather." Xuexue picked up the teacup and sipped a little from the edge of the cup.

"Just average," Nanny Sun replied with modesty.

"Just average? Are you telling me you want to leave no room for other brothels to survive?" Xuexue laughed; Nanny Sun really was acting smart after getting a bargain.

Lately, Fourth Prince and Prince Pu were nearly driven mad, quietly and overtly investigating who was backing Qinger Building, for having the audacity to compete with them for business right under the emperor’s nose, such boldness indeed.

Later, some rumor emerged, claiming Qinger Building was a business under War Prince’s control. Because of the fear of War Prince’s Mansion, they retracted their restless ambitions.

They could only watch, unable to do anything, as the golden business slipped into Qinger Building’s hands.

"Master, funny how things turn out, right? We’ve actually managed to establish ourselves in the Capital and even outwitted the royal family and nobles," Nanny Sun said with some self-satisfaction.

Master was only the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General’s Mansion, yet she outplayed the current Fourth Prince.

"Don’t be too proud, the fiercest battles are yet to come!" No real progress had been made in her great revenge, so Xuexue dared not relax in the slightest.

"Master, rest assured, I understand," Nanny Sun replied.

"Hmm."

Xuexue picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and said, "Nanny Sun, did my foster father come here to seek out girls last night?"

The Procuress was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes, Master, is there a problem?"

Because he was Xuexue’s foster father, the Procuress even gave him a discount!

"Nothing much, just make sure to record every visit he makes here," Xuexue said with a stern face.

"Master, if you want, I can just stop letting him in," the Procuress, savvy from life in the Itinerant World, quickly offered upon seeing Xuexue’s displeasure.

"No need, let everything proceed as usual." Xuexue simply wanted to see clearly his true nature, to avoid hurting her foster mother in the latter half of her life.
