Chapter 1136: The Most Outstanding Heir!

Before the expected date of delivery, there was another important festival, which was Qingming Festival.
A family with a long history like the Pei family would definitely pay great attention to this festival.
There was a secluded place in the backyard of the Pei family’s old mansion. There were green bamboos planted in the courtyard. Few people could enter the antique rooms inside. The butler personally cleaned them. Ordinary servants were not allowed to approach. That was the Pei family’s ancestral hall.
On the day Su Ji and Pei Huai registered their marriage, Pei Qingshen brought Su Ji in once.
After some ceremonies, Su Ji and Pei Huai served tea in turn. Pei Qing sincerely asked the ancestors to protect the younger generation.
Later, there were also some opportunities to worship ancestors, such as during the New Year.
However, Su Ji did not participate anymore, so Pei Huai did not have any requests.
Besides, his wife was from a few thousand years ago, ever since Pei Huai found out about his previous life and saw those ancestral tablets, his mentality could not help but change.
After that, it was Qingming Festival.
Early in the morning, the butler was in the backyard preparing tributes.
Every ingredient was very particular, and he did not dare to be careless.
Pei Huai was going on a long trip today.
A piece of land in the suburbs of A City that was originally commercial housing was later auctioned off by Pei Shizhan.
At that time, the bosses who participated in the auction were very surprised to see Pei Shizhan attend.
Although this piece of land could be used for commercial purposes and real estate development, it was located in a remote area. There was no convenient transportation nearby. In recent decades, the country had no plans to develop the nearby area. Generally speaking, such land would definitely not be coveted by a powerful enterprise like the Pei family.
Pei Shizhan, who was the president of the Pei Corporation at that time, was able to personally appear at the auction site, which really caused a huge shock in the hearts of the other bosses.
Could it be…that there was insider information?
Everyone could not help but have such thoughts.
The result of the auction that day was obvious. The land that the Pei family had their eyes on would not be snatched away by others.
The bosses beat their chests and stamped their feet. When they left, they discussed and sighed.
“Just wait and see. For Mr. Pei to personally come and take the land, I dare say that in less than half a year, there will definitely be a big movement nearby.”
“So what if you’re right? It’s impossible for us to snatch it from CEO Pei. The land is already his now.”
The bosses’ tone was firm and they believed it without a doubt. However, half a year later…
The so-called big move didn’t happen. There wasn’t even a sound of wind.
After a few renovations, that piece of land became the Pei Clan’s exclusive cemetery.
All the bosses who received the news were speechless.
Therefore, there was no so-called inside information from the beginning. The original purpose of Pei Shizhan bidding for this piece of land was to choose a suitable cemetery for the Pei family’s ancestors.
The reason why he was interested in that piece of land was precisely because it was desolate and there was no possibility of development in the vicinity for decades.
If the ancestors moved there, they would probably be able to live in peace.
Today was Qingming Festival, so Pei Huai had to go there to sweep the graves.
This was the tradition of the Pei family. The most outstanding younger generation of the Pei family would be elected from generation to generation to sweep the graves on the Qingming Festival.
To show his sincerity, he even wanted to drive over personally.
The location was really remote and winding. It took about three and a half hours to drive there.
Aunt Gong had already begun to help Third Young Master make preparations.
In the Pei family’s generation, there were Pei Xi, Pei Song, and Pei Huai.
The most outstanding one must be Pei Huai.
Pei Xi and Pei Song did not have any objections to this, but in order to demonstrate his democratic and fair nature, Pei Qingshen had specially called his three descendants to the study room last night and explained to them the reason why he had chosen Pei Huai.
“Pei Song, you’re divorced and have a child, and you haven’t made any progress with Zhuzhu. It’s not nice to meet your ancestors with such an identity. Pei Xi, your husband is a foreigner, and I am worried that you’ll scare your ancestors if you bring him along. Therefore, only Pei Huai, who has a happy family and a good-looking partner, is the most suitable. In other words…do you understand?”
Pei Huai’s face was cold from the beginning to the end.
Pei Xi:
Pei Song:
There’s no need for that, grandpa!
It was purely a personal attack!
At a quarter past seven in the morning, after breakfast, Pei Huai was in the garage counting the tomb-sweeping supplies while Su Ji strolled around the yard, looking for inspiration for today’s update.
Bill was also pushing his baby Pocahontas into the sun nearby.
A baby shouldn’t bask in the sun when the sun was too strong. The weather was good today, and the light was just right in the morning.
In the pram, Pocahontas was wearing a Barbie tutu skirt. Her small, curly hair was tied up at the top of her head, and there was a shiny diamond hairpin on it.
The hem of the dress was filled with all kinds of gemstones, bright red, light yellow, and dark blue.
The light flashed and flashed.
A few birds took off from the tree. Pocahontas looked up and followed the trajectory of the birds. Her little face turned to Su Ji.
At that moment, Su Ji happened to look up from her phone. She was caught off guard and was hit by that cute little face.
Porcelain-white smooth skin, obsidian-like eyes, cherry blossom jelly-like lips, and soft bangs on her forehead that were blown by the wind.
She was as beautiful as a small toy.
Su Ji’s exquisite eyes were slightly stunned.
“Is my author sister-in-law busy again?” Bill smiled brightly.
“Stop messing with me.” Su Ji snorted and walked to the pram.
Ever since Pei Huai exposed his identity as her rich fan, the Pei family gradually found out that Su Ji was writing online novels.
Be it at the dining table, the living room, or during family gatherings, Pei Huai would often be heard urging his wife to update.
One time, Officer Wang, who was next door, was there too. He was especially interested when he heard that Su Ji was actually writing.
He hinted several times to Su Ji to send him the link to the article, but Su Ji pretended not to understand.
Pei Qingshen laughed at him. “You wouldn’t be able to understand the articles written by young people these days even if I told you!”
Actually, he was the pot calling the kettle black because…Su Ji had never given him the link!
It was not that Su Ji did not want to give it to him, but the content was indeed not suitable for these two old men to admire!
Especially Officer Wang.
Later, Su Ji found out through some means that it was Officer Wang who wiped out the book “The Wild History of the Demon Concubine Su and the 108 Princes”…
This year’s Qingming Festival was the same as previous years. The weather forecast said that it would rain during the day, and the air was already moist.
“Achoo!” The little darling in the pram sneezed in a childish voice, and her snot bulged.
“Yayaya!” Her baby voice was buzzing and she even sniffed.
Su Ji was amused by her cute appearance and rubbed her knuckles against her smooth little face.
Actually, Su Ji used to hate these little brats.
But now, it was much better.
She lowered her head and looked at hers…
