Born with unremarkable genes, she was just an ordinary person.

Old Master Ming, feeling deeply guilty about this, instructed, “Alright, go and make the arrangements. Make sure Wenxian enjoys herself.” The guard once again left as silently as he had come.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, in the small courtyard of the villa.

Yu Tang returned home, feeling utterly content after having successfully obtained an autograph and a photo with Upon Brocade.

As soon as she entered, she saw Yu Xiheng sitting on the sofa and instantly restrained herself, greeting, “Uncle Nine.”

Yu Xiheng didn’t look up, his voice calm, “Mhmm, it’s time to sleep.”

“Oh,” Yu Tang peeked around, “Is Qingqing already asleep?”

Yu Xiheng glanced up, “Whether she sleeps or not, you need to. It’s already eleven, you’ve come back too late today.” Yu Tang huffed.

Her Uncle Nine, with his double standards.

Tomorrow, she’d introduce more eligible men to Qingqing, just to annoy him.

Yu Tang went upstairs.

The living room was silent, save for the ticking of the clock.

Yu Xiheng glanced at the time, massaged his temples, and set down his documents.

Just as he was about to head upstairs, he noticed a book on the sofa beside him.

“He was human, not a deity,” Yu Xiheng leaned his head on his hand, “This part of history is interesting. The opinions are polarized. Many criticize him for his cruelty, even executing his old ministers who helped him ascend the throne. Not a benevolent ruler, how could he govern the Great Xia Dynasty?”

“But for an emperor, if one is too kind and lenient, how can one manage the empire?” Si Fuqing countered, “If it were me, I’d be even more ruthless.” To be kind to an enemy is to turn the blade on oneself.

“Not killing means suffering for the nation and the people. The Great Xia Dynasty faced internal issues and external troubles. Without resolving the internal issues, how could the external troubles be addressed?” Si Fuqing’s gaze was steady, “Therefore, execution was necessary.”

This was actually the mess left by the previous emperor.

The previous emperor was indecisive and favored his cronies.

As a result, the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty was empty, and the people suffered.

Yu Xiheng smiled, without revealing his true emotions, “Is that what you think?”

“Yes,” Si Fuqing looked at him, “Is there a problem?”

Surely he wasn’t about to dock her pay just because her views differed from some historians?

“Mhmm, it’s late,” Yu Xiheng said nothing more, his gaze serene and deep, “Rest now.”

“Alright,” Si Fuqing’s eyes curved like a fox’s, “Good night, boss.”

The door closed.

Silently, the hallway remained dark.

After a while, his eyelashes drooped, his voice faint, dissipating in the wind, “Good night.”

The next day was Sunday.

The production team had given the trainees a day off, planning to take them to visit an ancient street of Lin City and shoot some behind-the-scenes footage..
