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

Chapter 2234

"It's no good, but it's no bad either." Shi Anrou took a sip of hot tea, her heart cold and her mind clear. "You come to my door every day to bother me, if you don't want to ruin my reputation, what else do you want?"

"I just don't know where to go."

"You think I'm a soft persimmon that's easy to take advantage of." Shi Anrou exposed him mercilessly, "Give up, I won't help you return to Liang State."

Cen Che took the bottle of poison and left, saying goodbye to Xie Huai. "Brother, thank you for taking care of me over the years. You knew my true identity long ago, but you didn't expose me."

Xie Huai's heart skipped a beat, and amidst his anger he felt helpless. "You almost killed our Xie family, do you know that? That's treason!"

Cen Che was ashamed, "I didn't think too much about it at the time."

Seeing him like that, Xie Huai's heart softened. He thought that without him, the Xie family wouldn't have been able to connect with Princess Haiyan, and wouldn't be in this situation today. "Forget it, from now on, you'll just be a good Fourth Young Master Xie. Princess Haiyan has said that as long as you don't do anything bad, my Xie family will support you."

Cen Che agreed and wandered to a separate courtyard of the Xie family, where there were only a few cleaning servants and gardeners.

It's quiet here, I can die.

He entered a room, drank the poison given by Shi Anrou, and lay down quietly.

No pain, just dizziness and sleepiness. I woke up feeling refreshed.

Not dead. I don't know what's in that porcelain bottle, but it tastes pretty good.

He went to find Shi Anrou again.

Shi Anrou asked slowly, "Not dead yet?"

"Not enough medicine." Cen Che said pitifully, "It tastes good. What is it?"

"Huaidong dew is sweet and delicious, moistening the lungs and removing dampness. I'll buy you another bottle for ten taels of silver!"

"Okay." Cen Che paid out a hundred taels of silver, "I want ten bottles!"

Shi Anrou: “…”

The fool had four characters carved on his forehead: Stupid but Rich. She took the money and gave him ten bottles of syrup.

Cen Che took the Huaidong Dew back to the Xie family's villa. After drinking it, he lay on the bed, thought about many things, and slowly fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, he was thinking, the Yu Emperor had allowed him to live, but had forbidden him from returning to Liang. Was it for the sake of his brothers, or for the sake of his fourth brother?

It didn't seem to matter anymore. Now that Emperor Yu had abdicated and become the Supreme Emperor, even if he died, it would be of no importance to anyone.

Even the girl Red Magpie, whom he had loved for many years in his early years, was already married! Alas! What a confusing life this was.

Cen Che became a frequent visitor to Shi Anrou's residence. At first, he needed to be informed, but later he could come and go freely.

Shi Anrou had many businesses on her plate. Cen Che could help her, but he also often acted as her strategist, offering some bad advice.

Shi Anrou always reminded him, "Don't try to get the customs clearance documents from me. I can't help you."

Cen Che looked at her and asked, "Do you think I came to you just to get the paperwork?"

"What else?" Shi Anrou was very sober. "Don't tell me you're in love with me. I won't believe it even if you tell me."

"I... just wanted to talk to you." Cen Che lowered his head. "Don't overthink it. I think you're stupid and can't even figure out the accounts. Sooner or later, you'll be taken advantage of by those shopkeepers. From now on, I'll manage your business for you."

Shi Anrou clutched her purse tightly, "Don't even think about swallowing my money!"

Cen Che laughed in anger, "How could I be interested in your little tricks?"

He has dug gold mines!

"You're poor now! Poorer than me!"

Three months later, Shi Anrou took out a customs pass from the box and handed it to Cen Che. "Here you go. Your Liang Kingdom's Emperor has spoken, allowing you to return home as an ordinary citizen."

Cen Che took the pass and looked at it for a long time, his eyes turning redder and redder. Finally, he felt relieved, put it in his arms, and left.

Shi Anrou knew that this guy would not come again.
