Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Seeing Stars

Xuexue stepped to the side, and Xiuzhi lunged at nothing. Losing her balance, she couldn’t stop herself and hit her forehead against the adjacent wall.

“Ouch!”

Xiuzhi, seeing stars from the impact, let out an involuntary cry of pain. Clutching her forehead, she became furiously embarrassed and berated Xuexue, “You little cheap person, not only did you steal my silver, but you dare to hit me?”

“Ah! Well, isn’t that something, the thief crying ‘catch the thief,'” Xuexue retorted coldly.

“You… who are you calling a thief?” Unable to snatch back the copper coin, Xiuzhi gnashed her teeth in frustration.

“Besides you, is there anyone else here? Not even a ghost, okay?” Xuexue glanced around and immediately froze.

She inwardly howled in lamentation for invoking misfortune with her words.

At some unknown time, a delicate-looking little girl had appeared by Xiuzhi’s side. Her appearance was quite endearing—that is, of course, before knowing she was a ghost.

And this adorable little girl was none other than the little ghost who was carried on Old Money Mo’s back that day.

“Big sister.”

The little girl grinned at Xuexue. Thankfully, this time no blood was flowing from her seven orifices, or else, Xuexue would have been scared sick even without any illness this early in the morning.

“What are you doing at my house so early in the morning?” Xuexue asked, eyeing the little girl.

“You little cheap person, what are you talking about? Give me back my silver.” Xiuzhi, unable to see the little girl, thought Xuexue was speaking to her.

“Big sister, my name is Xiao Taohong. We will see each other again.” With that, the little girl disappeared on the spot.

Xuexue guessed she had left. Had this little ghost come to her house early in the morning just to say this one sentence? She was extremely puzzled.

Seeing Xuexue standing there as if in a daze, Xiuzhi hurriedly pounced forward, trying to snatch the parcel from her embrace.

Yanked forcefully, Xuexue came to her senses and immediately hugged the package tight, then, with a burst of strength, kicked out fiercely.

In her past life, in order to please the Crown Prince, Zhang Ruixuan, she had learned some martial arts. Although she wasn’t particularly skilled, she was still more than capable of handling Xiuzhi.

“Thump.”

Xiuzhi was sent flying by Xuexue’s kick, hitting the wall with a loud crash, then rolling onto the floor.

“Ah…!”

Xiuzhi let out a ghostly wail of agony.

“Serves you right, hmph!”

Xuexue gave a cold glance at Xiuzhi, who was writhing in pain on the ground, turned around, and walked away with the package.

In the room, where Mo Daoyan and his wife were sound asleep, they were finally awakened by Xiuzhi’s mournful wails.

“Husband, listen, isn’t that Xiuzhi’s crying?” Madam Ruan asked groggily.

“Mm, it does seem like it.” Mo Daoyan said after listening for a moment.

“That wretched girl, it’s so early and she isn’t sleeping. What is she up to?” Madam Ruan said as she sat up from the bed, wanting to see what trouble her daughter was getting into.

“It wouldn’t be because of last time she stole the cured meat, and our mother still holds a grudge, so she beat up Xiuzhi early in the morning, right?” Mo Daoyan racked his brains, but could not think of any other reason why his daughter would be crying so miserably.

Ever since the birth of his son, in the Mo family, aside from Old Lady Mo daring to bully their side of the family, they were pretty much able to do whatever they wished.

Madam Ruan, having dressed herself, became furious upon hearing her husband’s words, turned her head, and scolded, “Stealing what stealing, Xiuzhi said she didn’t steal.”

“Alright, alright, if she says she didn’t, then she didn’t. Why are you so angry?”

“Hmph!”

Turning around, Madam Ruan stepped out of the room, opening the door.

“Tsk! If it wasn’t you all who stole it, could it be that the cured meat just flew away by itself?” Lying in bed, Mo Daoyan, watching Madam Ruan’s retreating figure, was full of disbelief. In the Mo family, apart from his own wife, he couldn’t think of anyone else with the guts to steal the meat.
