After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

"Mr. Chen, I am truly grateful for your help this time. Please accept my greeting." Tang Qi bowed deeply to Chen Changxiao. The bow was very standard and his attitude was extremely sincere and genuine.

Seeing this, Chen Changxiao quickly reached out to support Tang Qi, his lips curled up into a smile as warm as a spring breeze, and he said loudly, "Brother Tang, you're too polite. What's the trouble? Besides, Miss Tang is well-behaved and clever, and truly endearing. Oh, by the way, Brother Tang, could you please lead us to your resting place?" As he spoke, he cast his gaze at Tang Qi, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, a light that held an indescribable depth. However, with so many people around, it was difficult to speak aloud.

Tang Qi was so smart that he understood the hint in Chen Changxiao's eyes at a glance, and immediately nodded and said, "Of course, everyone, please follow me." After that, he first said goodbye to his classmates and friends one by one in a polite manner, and then walked with steady steps, leading Chen Changxiao and his entourage towards his residence.

Along the way, Tang Qi enthusiastically described the various aspects of the Yingtian Academy. From the academy's history to its current size and layout, from the teaching styles of the various teachers to the students' daily anecdotes, he covered every detail, leaving nothing out. As everyone listened with rapt interest, Tang Qi suddenly turned around, smiled at Tang Zichan beside him, and said slowly, "Thank you, brother Zichan, for your help in this matter."

When Tang Zichan heard this, two blushes instantly appeared on his fair and handsome face, making him look particularly shy and adorable. He frantically waved his hands and hurriedly replied, "Ah, brother, don't be so polite. I only did my best to help, and I don't deserve your gratitude."

Before long, they arrived at their destination. Tang Qi gently pushed open the door, and the scene within instantly came into view. The interior was remarkably elegant. The pale blue bed curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, evoking a touch of poetry. By the window stood an exquisite sandalwood desk, neatly arranged with brushes, inkstones, and paper. Several profound landscape paintings hung on the walls, adding a touch of elegance to the room.

However, just as everyone was preparing to savor the details in the room, Chen Changxiao could no longer contain his inner eagerness. He strode into the room and then threw himself headfirst onto the bed without a scruple, muttering, "Oh, it's still more comfortable here. Sitting in that carriage is really tiring." As he spoke, he twisted his body a few times comfortably, as if trying to find the most comfortable posture.

Tang Wenshu, standing nearby, saw Chen Changxiao's actions and her eyes widened in disbelief. She pointed at Chen Changxiao, who lay on the bed, and complained to Tang Qi, "Brother, look at him! This is clearly your room! How can he be so careless?" Tang Wenshu fully expected her brother to stop Chen Changxiao's rude behavior, but Tang Qi simply smiled and said to Chen Changxiao nonchalantly, "If Young Master Chen doesn't mind, this room will belong to you from now on."

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu was completely stunned. She had never expected her elder brother to be so generous and give up his room to someone else without hesitation. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond and could only stare blankly at Tang Qi and Chen Changxiao.

At this time, Tang Qi's expression gradually became serious. He looked around at everyone present, and then said in a low and solemn voice: "Okay, everyone, let's talk about the information we have so far." As his voice fell, everyone's eyes focused on him at the same time, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"Not long after I arrived at the Yingtian Academy, I received an order to lead troops to suppress bandits..." Tang Qi slowly recounted his experience, briefly and concisely describing what he had experienced since arriving at the Yingtian Academy. At this point, he frowned slightly, as if he was still frightened by the experience.

"What about Liao Xinyin? How is he doing now?" someone asked with concern.

"Liao Xinyin is still in the military camp and has not returned yet. He claims that he wants to continue suppressing the bandits." Tang Qi answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but wonder, "Why are there so many bandits in Yingtian Prefecture?"

Tang Qi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Yeah, there are bandits everywhere here. I really don't know what caused this situation." In fact, he already had some guesses in his heart, but because he was in Yingtian Book House at this time, he was worried that others would eavesdrop, so he did not express his true thoughts out loud.

At this moment, Chen Changxiao, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "They're just bandits. We'll wipe them out!" His tone was firm and resolute, as if he saw them as nothing more than a mob. Chen Changxiao entered the Yingtian Mansion alone this time, his two maids and guards patiently waiting outside.

"Tang's youngest sister's maid, come and take off my husband's shoes!" Chen Changxiao shouted at the top of his lungs, his gaze fixed on Pei Qingqing. At this moment, he was intent on displaying his so-called masculine demeanor, so he deliberately used such teasing words to attract everyone's attention.

Tang Qi, hearing Chen Changxiao's sudden cry, couldn't help but cast a puzzled look. Seeing this, Tang Wenshu hurriedly explained, "Brother, I'll explain this to you in detail later." She gently placed her hand on Tang Qi's shoulder and leaned close to his ear, whispering, "We've previously analyzed the situation created by the Yingtian Prefecture officials and have already written to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Have there been any further developments?"

Tang Qi nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of this matter, and then responded, "Yes, I already know about this matter. It was after discussing it with my father that I decided to have you come to Yangzhou."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wenshu widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Ah? What does this have to do with me? But I am still very happy to be able to get together with you here. But when I think about living with my father, I really can't imagine what that kind of life would be like." After saying that, she shook her head gently, as if she still had concerns about getting along with her father.

"My little sister, when you were little, every time your father came home from outside, you would clamor for him to let you ride on you like a horse. You were so innocent and cute back then. But now that you have grown up, have you thrown all these beautiful memories out of your mind?" Tang Qi described the warm scenes of the past with a smile on his face.

"Alright, alright, Brother Qi, could you guys stop talking about those trivial family matters all the time? Right now, let's get the important things done. Once it's over, just leave quickly. This is my battlefield!" Chen Changxiao was leisurely enjoying Pei Qingqing's attentive service, but in his heart he wished that everyone else would disappear without a trace so that he could indulge in sweet and affectionate activities with Pei Qingqing. However, a burning fighting spirit had already been ignited in his eyes.

"Hmph! You clearly promised me before that you would marry Sister Qingqing as a concubine! You can't go back on your word!" Tang Wenshu was furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Chen Changxiao angrily. "If you dare to break your promise, I will never forgive you!"

Then he turned to Tang Qi and said, "Brother, let's first arrange Sister Qingqing's marriage before leaving for Yangzhou."

"Okay, okay, my little aunt, don't worry! The guards have long been ordered by this young master to go out to purchase all the necessary things and find a suitable house. They have always been very reliable in doing things, and they must be proceeding step by step at this moment. So, you can put your mind at ease!" Chen Changxiao said with a smug look on his face, and looking at Pei Qingqing's gentleness and thoughtfulness beside him, he felt even more proud in his heart.

Being able to embrace a beautiful woman in this distant Yingtian Prefecture is truly a wonderful thing! What's more, the people in the Imperial City will never know about this matter. This way, it will naturally not have any impact on his future marriage to a wife when he returns to the Imperial City. Thinking of this, Chen Changxiao couldn't help but chuckle, secretly calculating in his heart: When I return to the Imperial City, I will just leave this concubine named Pei Qingqing in Yingtian Prefecture and provide for her well. After all, I have plenty of money, so what's the big deal about spending such a small amount?
