The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 1124 Extra: Cen Che and Shi Anrou (3)

Shi Anrou led Cen Che away. She didn't notice the hurt look in Captain Zheng's eyes.

After she left, the soldiers guarding the city rushed over and tried to comfort their leader, saying, "It's better to know the truth sooner. You can marry someone else with peace of mind."

"Intermarriage between the two countries is common nowadays, but it is troublesome after all. It is safer to marry a girl from the same country."

Captain Zheng smiled wryly but remained silent. It wasn't surprising that such a pretty girl, at that age, was married.

He had originally planned to ask someone he knew in Beiyi to find out about the girl, but now there was no need to ask anymore.

Shi Anrou led Cen Che across the Huaixing River Bridge, where a carriage was already waiting.

She stepped on a footstool to get into the car, followed by Jin Yu, and Cen Che also wanted to get in.

Shi Anrou stopped him, "What are you doing?"

"Go home." Cen Che said listlessly, "I'm marrying into your family."

Shi Anrou smiled angrily, "Don't repay kindness with enmity! I felt sorry for you and couldn't bear to see you exiled thousands of miles away, so I helped you out."

Cen Che said "Oh", obediently stopped, stepped back, and stood in the dim light with his head down.

The carriage went further and further away.

He still stood there alone, like an abandoned stray dog.

The next day, Shi Anrou had just gotten up when she heard Jin Yu come in to report, "Master, this servant has poured a basin of cold water on Fourth Young Master Xie today."

"Why did you throw a basin of cold water on him?" Shi Anrou asked while washing.

While Jin Yu was helping the young lady with her wash and dressing, she said, "Didn't the young lady say yesterday that if Fourth Master Xie comes again, I'll let this maid throw a basin of cold water on him?"

It was clean, cool water, not even enough to wash your feet. How kind!

Shi Anrou remembered, "Then pour it."

This went on for more than ten days. Jin Yu was so tired of throwing water that he ran to complain to his master, "Xie Si Gongzi is so shameless. Throwing cold water won't work. I have to throw manure water on him to make him stink to death."

Shi Anrou rubbed her brows. "How could you have the heart to throw feces at such a beautiful person? Jin Yu, how could you have the heart to do that?"

"Hehe, just close your eyes, open them again, and you can splash it out."

"When he comes again tomorrow, bring him in." Shi Anrou said.

Gold and jade should be.

The next day, Cen Che came again.

Shi Anrou met him in the pavilion and said, "Sit down."

Cen Che sat down obediently.

Shi Anrou said, "Cen Che, I can't help you return to Liang State. Just give up and don't come to me again."

Cen Che felt hopeless, "In fact, all of you already know my identity?"

"I can't say everyone knows, but everyone who needs to know knows. So I advise you not to seek death and don't jump around." Shi Anrou got Shi Anxia's instructions and showed her trump card.

Cen Che was disappointed, but not surprised. He had been in such a state of failure for so many years that he had become numb to it.

He is now just a cat with clipped claws, and scratching people looks like he is being spoiled.

He used to think that Shi Anxia was kept in the dark, but it turned out that he was the stupid and ridiculous clown.

He whispered, as if choking, "I don't want to live anymore. I want to die in my hometown."

Shi Anrou took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and said, "There is poison in this. If you want to die, just find a quiet place to die. There is no need to shout it out so that everyone in the street will know."

Since you are shouting, it means you don't want to die.

When Cen Che raised his head again, tears streamed down his face. "Why are you all hoping for my death? What good will it do you if I die?"

"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."

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.
