The Spoiled Daily Life of the Villain’s Mother

With Xiu Lingfei's current status, he can simply refuse anyone's invitation as long as he's not happy with it.

        However, he would not refuse Jing Xuan's invitation. Not only can he not refuse, but he also wants Jing Xuan to set a time and place, and he will definitely go to the appointment. Xiu Ling Fei doesn't know why Jing xuan called, but there's nothing to say. Is there any reason why Laozi should be afraid of this son?
(TL* Laozi is a term to arrogantly call oneself)

        Jing Xuan set to meet tonight, Xiu Ling Fei put off all the arrangements for this evening, directly let the driver drive to the address left by Jing Xuan.

        "Boss, do you need to bring security to meet today's guests?" When they arrived at the location, the driver asked according to the procedure. The company has a large family, and it is normal to bring bodyguards when you go out and talk to people.

        "No need." Xiu Lingfei said with a gloomy face.

        In fact, the relationship between him and his ninth son is much better than that of Jing Yuan.

        Jing Yuan was born to a sinful concubine and was not treated well by him from birth, if not for the royal bloodline, with Xiu Ling Fei's methods, he would have had Jing Yuan drowned directly. From Jing Yuan's birth to his succession to the throne of Xiu Lingfei, there is dislike and hatred between the two, no affection to speak of.

        But Jing Xuan is still different.

        When Xiu Ling Fei favored Jiang Shi Ning in the past, she really didn't liked it. In her last life, she was only the daughter of a local governor, so to speak, she had no background. This has both advantages and disadvantages.

        The bad side is that when Jiang Shi Ning entered the palace, almost all the concubines in the harem were the daughters of important officials. Jiang Shining's background was not as good as theirs, so it was difficult to get promoted. They would always act unscrupulous to her. Anyway, it was nothing to offend a little governor's daughter.

The good thing is that since ancient times, emperors have always been suspicious. Shi Ning's family has no background. The emperor doesn't have to doubt whether she is fighting for her own or family's interests, so he will likely treat her more casually and sincerely.

        Therefore, the concubine Jiang in this book is a proper cannon fodder villain. Her beauty and domineering aura are the stepping stones for the white lotus female lead.

        The original setting of the cannon fodder concubine should be a beauty that could destroy a country. However, the bland and high-minded characteristics is the true self of Jiang Shi Ning. Combining those two qualities of a woman made her especially charming. In addition, the other concubines are fighting each other for favor in order to get Xiu Lingfei's love and to benefit their family, while Jiang Shi Ning is trying to survive and complete her mission, so from the beginning, she tried every possible way to utilize his likes and dislikes to get along with herself - the emperor is bound to be moved.

        So, despite Jiang Shi Ning's insistence on adopting his most loathed son, Xiu Ling Fei eventually forgave her and let go of his suspicions from the moment she gave birth to an imperial son.

        It can be said that after the birth of Jing Xuan, Xiu Ling Fei was the one who doted on him the most.

        Xiu Ling Fei can't understand, He really hates and treated Jing Yuan indifferently, but he was very good to Jing Xuan even before he was born. Why is Jing Xuan still ungrateful?3

        If it's because he poisoned Jiang Shi Ning, his illness also had something to do with her.  The two of them were backstabbing each other and died within half a year together. For Jing Xuan, this is clearly the father and mother killing each other, so why is it after the reincarnation, Jing Xuan is on Jiang Shi Ning's side?

        How come even Jiang Shi Ning's four member group, who was only trained for a few months, was already so devoted to her? Is it because he, a man of imperial destiny, was still inferior to a woman?4

        Xiu Lingfei's face started getting darker.

        Although Jing Xuan is gentle in nature, he knows that his sons are cruel. If Jing Xuan chooses Jiang Shi Ning, he may have to move against him. After all, for these ancient royal families, there was no modern moral restraint, and killing the enemy was common.

        But so what?

        He would still go to that feast at hongmen! Not only to go, even if Jing Xuan sent hundreds of people to ambush, Xiu Ling Fei also have to fight them single-handedly or else he wouldn't live up to his dignity as an old man. (TL* feast at hongmen meant as a banquet set up with the aim of murdering a guest)

        The car drove for some time and finally stopped next to a private club.

        "Boss, here we are."

        Xiu Lingfei got out of the limousine and was already greeted by a waiter in front.

        "Greetings Boss Xiu, our Mr. Wang has been waiting for a long time."

        Xiu Ling Fei's face was cold, he straightened his suit, then lifted his heel and followed him.

        The scenery of Jing Xuan's clubhouse is different from the kind of modern rich people's club. The place was very elegantly built, ancient and fragrant. There is a small open-air courtyard inside, and a pond in which the lotus flowers in full bloom looked beautiful under the moonlight. If the ancients scholars were here, they would have like to sit in this courtyard and recite a poem.

The waiter led him through the courtyard promenade, and there was a two-story building further inside.

        "Boss Xiu, please go up to the second floor, our President Wang is waiting for you there."

        The waiter stopped outside the door.

        Xiu Lingfei did not say much and went straight into the door towards the stairs.

        After going up to the second floor, his eyes scanned around. The entire second floor is about two hundred square feet, all the objects and the way they are placed are according to ancient times, and also very concerned about feng shui. There was not a single modern product, Xiu Ling Fei suddenly dreamed back to his last life.

        "Boss Xiu." Just then, the light and elegant voice rang out from behind the screen, and Xiu Lingfei heard him say, "Please come this way."

        Xiu Lingfei's gaze was slightly cold as he slowly walked towards the screen.

        Behind the screen, he saw a white-shirted young man standing on the side of the wooden table, the white mist curling on the table. The man looks clean and clear, even more by the light scattered white mist that sets off an immortal posture.

        Chou Jing Xuan was brewing tea. Seeing Xiu Lingfei arrive, he raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

        "Boss Xiu, sit down. Just in time."
