Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2013

Tang Chujun reached out and wiped away the tears on Shi Anrou's face, and said softly, "The grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with you children. Since you called me 'mother', from now on you, like Xia'er, are my daughters. And..."

She smiled and pulled Yao Sheng over. "You have to call her mother. She is one of our family members. We are no different."

Shi Anrou timidly stepped forward and called out "Mother", looking very well-behaved.

Yao Sheng's eyebrows relaxed and she responded with a smile. She had obviously prepared a gift for the meeting and took out an exquisite brocade box from her sleeve.

A butterfly jade hairpin lay quietly in the brocade box, as white as jade and soft to the touch.

The butterfly on the hairpin is exquisitely carved, with its wings slightly raised, as thin as a cicada's wings, as if it is about to flutter and fly away. The butterfly body is dotted with tiny tourmalines, which emit a light blue-green halo as the angle changes.

Yao Sheng smiled as he picked up the jade hairpin with his fingertips and inserted it diagonally into An Rou's hair.

The tourmaline on the jade hairpin flashed in the sunlight, just like a butterfly fluttering its wings gently at the side of the hair.

This means a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

Shi Anrou received gifts from two mothers, she treasured them very much, her eyes and brows were filled with unconcealable joy.

This was the first time she had received a gift with ease. She didn't have to think about who was acting according to her mood, guess the gift giver's thoughts, or worry about whether the etiquette was appropriate. It was simply the comfort of being cherished by someone.

In her past and present lives, what she longed for and thought about was nothing more than the simple joy she has now.

In fact, Shi Anxia also prepared a gift for her.

"Sister An Rou," Shi An Xia said with a straight face and a sly light in her eyes, "Starting tomorrow, you will follow your sister-in-law and learn how to read and manage accounts for two hours every day."

She deliberately dragged out her tone, "If you don't know, just ask more questions, but don't think about being lazy..." As she spoke, she suddenly moved closer, startling Shi Anrou, "I'll come to check at any time."

Shi Anrou's face suddenly turned bitter.

She had always been sleepy when she saw books, and now her eyelids began to feel heavy just by imagining those densely packed numbers. She heard that there would be random checks, and she shuddered for no reason.

Shi Anxia finally burst out laughing when she saw this.

She took out a few paper deeds with a faint scent of ink from her sleeves and waved them in front of Shi Anrou's eyes. "Here, take them. This is the real gift I want to give you."

Shi Anrou didn't dare to take it, but couldn't help being curious, so she leaned over to see, "What is it?"

"Wenquan Manor." Shi Anxia stuffed the contract into her hands without further ado, "It's just connected to the manor I sold you for 1,800 taels."

The hot spring has been excavated and preparations are almost complete. It can be used to make money by the end of the year.

Shi Anrou was stunned. One thousand eight hundred taels! That was a fight that happened so long ago.

That was when they had just been reborn, and they were suspicious of each other and competing with each other.

No, how could it be considered a competition? The weight was a one-sided prank by Queen Dowager Hyejeong.

Memories came flooding back unexpectedly.

Shi Anxia's eyebrows curved with laughter, while Shi Anrou drooped her eyes.

Shi Anrou's face instantly fell, and she twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "But, but... I have already pawned the manor... "

This loser! Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and slowly flipped open one of the contracts and waved it in front of her eyes, "Isn't it here?"

"How, how..." Shi Anrou widened her eyes.

"You pawned it in my husband's pawnshop, so you're pawning it in my hands, aren't you?" Shi Anxia arched her brows. "Here, I picked these farms specifically for you. I promised to protect you, so I have to give you something solid to rely on."
