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

Shi Anxia responded indifferently, "It's better to be ruthless than to act shamelessly. Bei Hui, show the guest away!"

She originally thought that this matter was not easy to resolve completely, after all, it involved Cen Yuan's adoptive parents. Even if she rejected the proposal of a concubine, there would still be some involvement.

Now just looking at Cen Yuan’s attitude towards the Chen family...it will be much easier.

Bei Hui came in to see the guest off, "Madam Chen, please come in."

Yao thought that the important thing with an 80% chance of success failed, and was hurt by her adopted son's words "there is no need for us to have any contact with each other anymore".

For a moment, I felt like my sincere heart had been thrown into vain.

She was so angry that she played the family card again, "Yuan'er, I think you have completely forgotten how I treated you that day! When you were a child, lying in bed and unable to get out, it was me! I personally cooked sugar-water eggs for you to eat! You have forgotten everything!"

Cen Yuan laughed out loud and said, "Mrs. Chen asks for sugar-water eggs several times every year."

"Shouldn't I mention it?" Yao felt her heart broken into pieces.

Cen Yuan stopped smiling and said, "I can't eat eggs, because I'll get rashes. So who ended up with the egg? Madam Chen, you might as well recall it carefully."

Yao: “…”Okay, it seems, it seems to be the case?

Cen Yuan added, "That bowl of sugar-water eggs was cooked by Aunt Liu for her daughter, but you snatched it and sold it, so it became something you cooked yourself, and then you ate it. As a result, you have been talking about that bowl of sugar-water eggs for many years."

Shi Anxia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

At the same time, she felt sorry for her future husband.

When Yao was sent away by Bei Hui, she kept looking back. It seemed that the "Yuan'er" she mentioned must have been possessed by an evil spirit, which was why she said such words as "no need to have any contact with us anymore".

After she returned, she exaggerated the confrontation between her and the noble lady at the Marquis' Mansion today, and Chen Jikang was completely panicked.

He regretted it deeply, realizing that he had unknowingly exhausted the father-son relationship that he thought was deep.

The relationship between father and son is now as thin as paper.

What happened today has completely exposed the truth of this piece of paper.

Chen Jikang felt very uncomfortable.

He was sincere to Cen Yuan. He could feel that Cen Yuan also cared deeply about his family.

Especially in the past three years, Cen Yuan has helped him accumulate countless wealth. The original capital of his Chen family is completely insignificant in front of these wealth.

Because of this, he was careless.

He thought that given his relationship with Cen Yuan, asking him to help smooth over the misfortune for his two daughters who had just suffered a disaster should be a piece of cake.

After all, the matter of his daughters was more or less related to Cen Yuan.

He suspected that Yao had not made it clear, "Did you emphasize that it is in name only, in name only!"

Yao was so anxious that she kept crying, "She said it! She said it! She said it clearly! Miss Shi even asked me if it was my idea or if you also knew about it. I said of course you knew..."

Chen Jikang couldn't listen any longer and sighed heavily, "Stupid! You are so stupid! Can't you just say I didn't know? If I didn't know about this, there would still be room for maneuver. Now, there is no turning back!"

Yao gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe that Yuan'er really doesn't remember the past!"

On the other end, Shi Anxia asked, "Can you really cut off all ties with this relative? Are you really not nostalgic?"

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment before saying, "I let Yao in today because I wanted to tell you about my business."

Shi Anxia became interested as soon as she heard it, "Didn't you always say that you would tell me after you got married?"

Cen Yuan sat on a chair nearby. "Emperor Mingde didn't allow it. He wanted me to tell you before we get married. He also said that maybe after you heard it, you wouldn't want to marry me anymore." He raised his eyes to look at her. "Can you promise me that you won't change your mind after hearing it?"

Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows, "That depends on what it is."

Cen Yuan said stubbornly, "If you agree first, I will tell you."

"You tell me first, and I'll think about it." Shi Anxia held her cheek and blinked her beautiful eyes with long eyelashes.

"After we get married, I will peel chestnuts for you every day." Cen Yuan likes to see the little girl's half-smile the most

"I'm tired of eating chestnuts every day. Can't you try something tastier?"

"Eat whatever you want." Cen Yuan was good-tempered and took out an exquisite box from his sleeve to coax her, "This is for you too."

Shi Anxia took the box and became interested. "What is it?"

As she spoke, she opened the box. Inside lay a little girl carved out of wood, with big eyes, a small mouth, a round face, and a flower-bud hairstyle.

Shi Anxia smiled and looked up and asked, "Is this me? Did you carve it yourself?"

Cen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, "Of course. Can you see what's so special about it?"

"What's so special about it? The special thing is that it looks good, and it's carved like the real thing." Shi Anxia reached out and picked up the wooden doll, which felt quite heavy. "Hey, why is it still a little heavy?"

"Take another look?" There was a subtle and doting light flashing in Cen Yuan's dark eyes.

In his previous life, he carved many such wooden dolls at the border, but was ultimately unable to deliver them to her.

At that time, he kept it as a treasure and wanted to give it to her on their wedding night.

Because he carved out her image in his mind piece by piece, pouring all his heart's elegance and tenderness into it.

But in the end...

In this life, he couldn't wait to deliver it to her.

Just like now, she was so happy when she held the wooden doll in her hands. She couldn't let go and stroked the little man's face, so carefully, for fear of damaging the doll.

He encouraged, "Take a good look at this doll. What's so special about it?"

Shi Anxia finally found the mechanism at the bottom of the doll's feet, "Hey, the shoes can be twisted."

She twisted it and the doll turned.

It seems that the base has been loosened.

She cried out in surprise and delight, "Oh, there's a doll in here."

It turns out that the doll can be picked up, and there is an identical wooden doll inside.

The same big eyes, small mouth, round face, and flower-bud head. The only difference is the expression and color of the little man.

The previous doll was smiling and wearing a red dress. This one was pouting, as if angry, and wearing a blue dress.

Pick up the doll inside, and inside it there is another wooden doll with a different expression and color.

Inside, inside, inside, there are a total of twelve identical wooden dolls.

Each one is smaller than the other, and they are all in various colors, colorful and bold. How much thought must have gone into this.

Shi Anxia held a bunch of dolls in her arms, looked up and smiled, "All of them are mine."

"Do you like it?"

"like."

"Then after we get married, shall I carve something else for you?"

"Okay." Shi Anxia blushed. She knew she had fallen into the other party's trap, but she really liked these wooden dolls.

She even hoped that after they got married, he would carve more wooden dolls for her with different hair accessories and clothes.

She lined up the wooden dolls from largest to smallest on the table, then raised her bright black eyes and said softly, "Go ahead, I'm ready to be frightened."

Cen Yuan took a breath, not daring to look at her, "Xia Xia, I am Emperor Heng Cen Yuan, who was forced to abdicate from the Western Cen Liang State..."
