Chapter 249: Reborn (Part 4)
Su Yaogeng felt that no amount of gratitude could truly express her feelings.
It was akin to being regenerated.
An Chuxue grinned and said, "Then I’ll just be sticking around the Princess Mansion from now on, Aunt Zheng, don’t dislike how much I eat!"
The food at the Princess Mansion is really very good!
An Chuxue felt that the life she was living now was absolutely treated like a princess, everything she ate, drank, wore, and used was exquisite, with servants to attend to her, and a carriage when going out, tsk tsk, in modern times, even after working hard for twenty more years, it still wouldn’t be possible.
So, she was really very satisfied.
Su Yaogeng laughed and said, "This is your home, eat as you like, when the palace banquet comes around for the New Year, I will request from Brother to adopt you as my goddaughter, so he’ll confer upon you the title of County Princess, then you’ll have your own vassals and stipend."
"Ah?" An Chuxue hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, this, this isn’t right, I haven’t done anything!"
Although this surgery wouldn’t be performed in ancient times, for her, it wasn’t really a big deal. Moreover, Han Jing is her friend, without Han Jing, she’d still be struggling to meet basic needs, and there’s also the set of invaluable surgical tools that Su Yu crafted for her, and Yun Feng teaches her about traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology every day, just with these, An Chuxue already feels undeserving, so how could she accept more?
It really was just a little effort on her part...
Su Yaogeng patted her hand: "Silly child, what I’m giving you truly is nothing, with vassals and stipend, no matter when you return to Nanyao Country in the future, you’ll have your own private estate, and when you marry, these will be things to rely on."
An Chuxue’s eyes were a bit hot, and she said hoarsely: "Aunt Zheng, you are just too good to me..."
She truly didn’t expect that someone who wasn’t really related to her could do so much for her. She understood Su Yaogeng’s intentions: she was giving her a legitimate and secure status here, with her own private estate, giving her more confidence in whatever she does, without any worries. After all, she is staying at the Princess Mansion, which technically means she’s living under someone else’s roof, even if she didn’t mind it, others might have opinions. Once she has her own status, no one would look down on her.
Su Yaogeng genuinely had her best interests at heart.
Although An Chuxue was usually carefree and careless, after experiencing six months of fleeing life and tasting the warmth and coldness of human nature, she suddenly felt a true sense of belonging upon feeling this warmth, no longer a drifting spirit, but truly integrated into this era.
Han Jing, noticing the atmosphere was getting a bit too emotional, mischievously said, "Mother, how come I didn’t know I had a stipend too?"
Su Yaogeng was amused by her and couldn’t resist reaching out to poke her: "Why would Mother overlook yours? Before Aunt Qin arrived, you didn’t have a stewardess in your courtyard; Dongbao was too young, so the stipend had always been saved with Axi here, kept all for you! However, Aunt Qin, having lived in the countryside for a few years, was unfamiliar with many things, though she’s good at taking care of your daily life, regarding your private estate, we should find someone specialized to manage it for you. I think your Mu Jin is not bad, for safety’s sake, have her come to me daily, and let Axi guide her!"
Then she added, "Xue’er should have a reliable person by her side too."
