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

Chapter 2236

"Alright, it's been a few months since we last met, and you dare to insult me!" Cen Che raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers at the servant standing outside the door, "Go, bring my precious box over here!"

The servant responded and brought a heavy camphorwood box with great effort, and placed it on the ground in front of Shi Anrou with a "thump".

These are the results of Cen Che’s three months of hard work after returning to Liang State.

He quietly went to several old silver shops and took out the property he had deposited there that year.

Boxes of gold ingots, neatly stacked official silver bills, and several boxes of priceless jewelry and antiques were gradually transported from Liang State to the North Wing.

Although he did not dare to claim that he was as rich as a country, he could buy thousands of acres of fertile land and have a large number of servants, and he would no longer have to rely on the small amount of money his boss Xie gave him every month to make a living for the rest of his life.

That's not even enough to fill his teeth!

Cen Che has always been well aware of the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows and never puts all his eggs in one basket.

The silver was divided among several unrelated silver shops, and the private seals were hidden deep in the base of the shrine of the abandoned land temple outside the city, or in a secret compartment of a rockery somewhere.

He is the only one who knows the locations where these private seals are hidden, and no one else can get their hands on them.

However, he had not expected that a sudden incident would trap him in the North Wing for several years.

Cen Che casually knocked on the lid of the box with his hand, a smile on his lips, and said to Shi Anrou, "Here, all my wealth hidden in the bottom of the box belongs to you."

Shi Anrou widened her eyes, "What's inside?

He fished a neatly folded list from his sleeve and handed it over lightly. "We still have some bulky items stored at the Liangguo Merchants' Company. I've already ordered them to be loaded onto a truck and shipped out in a few days. They'll be brought directly to your residence for you to dispose of as you please."

Shi Anrou: “???”

What do you mean?

Her eyes lit up and she giggled, "Is this your dowry?"

"That's fine if you think so." Cen Che picked up the white porcelain teapot on the table, poured himself a full cup of warm water, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. His movements were as familiar as if he were at home.

He put down his empty cup and his eyes fell on the girl in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, Shi Anrou was definitely not the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

If we talk about the most stunning beauty, the one that must be compared is the red magpie, which is so stunning at first glance.

She was not the most clever woman he had ever met.

When it comes to being thoughtful and calculating, Shi Anxia is the best.

However, only when he was with Shi Anrou, in this house that might not be gorgeous but was filled with a sense of peace and stability, Cen Che's heart, which had been wandering for half his life, strangely calmed down.

Just like the so-called poison she gave him, it soothed, healed, and calmed him.

There is no need to be deliberately romantic, no need to pretend to be free and easy, and you can even tolerate occasional clumsiness and frustration.

It's like a tired bird returning to the forest, or a wanderer returning home, with an indescribable sense of security and tranquility.

It turned out that she was the only person in this vast world who made him feel that he could let down all his defenses and find a sense of "home".

Cen Che had been wandering for half his life, and all he wanted was a stable home. "Let's team up. At least I can protect you from bad luck. You just need to provide me with three meals a day and your special 'poison'."

Shi Anrou looked at the handsome man and would be lying if she said she wasn't moved. But she was no longer the impulsive person she used to be. "I've already given you the pass. I don't have anything else to ask for."

Cen Che nodded. "Yes, you really don't have anything left for me to gain. So do you want to live with me?"

Before Captain Zheng asked the matchmaker to come and formally propose marriage, Cen Che officially became Shi Anrou's son-in-law.

The couple had no children, but they were extremely wealthy and lived a carefree life like gods.
