Chapter 5 Beta Henry sent the foster mother

Thanks to the previous incident, Emma became the center of attention in the village. Beta John and Jennifer no longer assigned her heavy tasks, but she felt uncomfortable staying home and decided to help at the tea shop near the village gate.

Until now, the tea shop was managed by Mason and Omega Hana, selling tea and quick corn cakes to passersby, conveniently earning some money. Omega Hana felt sorry for young Emma and didn't let her do any other work except boiling water in the small storage room behind the shop. Just as Emma added fuel to the stove, Omega Hana hurriedly entered and saw Emma busy. She quickly said, "Emma, hurry up! We're running out of water. Bring ten corncakes. We have esteemed guests resting at the tea shop." Emma complied, walked to the door, and felt puzzled. Many guests were from different directions, but she had never heard them referred to as esteemed guests. According to Omega Hana's words, what kind of people were considered esteemed guests? Emma strolled to the door, quietly looking outside. Under the canopy, there were bodyguards dressed in green attire, and she couldn't see the person sitting among them. However, between the twenty handsome horses, an Arthur horse (a rare breed) paired with a red saddle on top exudes a dominant aura. Omega Hana's urging voice rang out again, "Emma! Hurry up! Don't make the guests wait."

For some reason, Emma had a strange premonition in her heart, as if something unpleasant would immediately happen once she went outside. Her feet wouldn't move; she just stood still in place. "Emma?! Aren't you going out quickly?" Mason impatiently chuckled, quickly apologizing to the guests, "That girl is a bit foolish, slow in her movements, causing everyone to laugh. Later on, I'll teach her properly." Then, a gentle and elegant voice came through, "It's alright. Quickly bring up the tea. The owner still needs to leave urgently." In this situation, she couldn't stay inside either. Emma pondered and thought it was still better to go outside. As she glanced at the person sitting in the middle, her feet immediately froze mid-air.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Emma, and the young man also looked in her direction.

He sat in the center, his eyes emitting a moonlight-like light, serene yet carrying a calmness, revealing a pure and cold elegance even from a distance. He seemed to be separated from the mundane world, shining so brightly that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. His white robe was adorned with flowing patterns, exquisitely and skillfully crafted, wonderful. His eyes were calm and cold like ice, pure and flowing like a river, so serene and complex that they passed over Emma.

Emma trembled, just catching a fleeting glance before quickly bowing her head, lifting the tray to cover her face, making every effort to avoid being seen, taking a few steps to deliver the food to Omega Hana, and then pretending to be afraid of strangers, quickly returning to the small storage room behind. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief?

The middle-aged man sitting next to Ace said to him, "My lord, it's getting dark, and we have a power outage. Should we find a farmer's house nearby to stay temporarily?"

Ace didn't look at him. His eyes, as cold as ice, stared intently at where Emma disappeared. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes. This young girl was the one he saw that day-

Around twelve or thirteen years old, this young girl wore worn-out white clothes with patched areas. She seemed to be a kitchen helper, with black dust on her face. Ace noticed that Emma's hands were white but thin, lacking flesh. Her long, messy black hair was casually tied up on her head. Despite intentionally bowing her head, her big, black eyes still shone brightly, emanating a strange and indescribable feeling. Her slender figure made others want to take care of and protect her. Shaking his head, Ace felt strange himself, not expecting to have such a far-fetched idea. Remembering how naughty she was when he saw her last time, a hint of laughter appeared in Ace's eyes.

As he reminisced, he casually said, "No, let's speed up and go to the town ahead to rest! We need to return to the capital on time tomorrow."

Amber quickly responded, not daring to express any opposing opinions. He understood the temper of the Seventh Prince well. When he tells you what he wants to do, it means he has already made up his mind, even though he usually uses a tone that seems to seek opinions and negotiate with you.

Soon, the group finished drinking the tea, mounted their horses, passed through the village without stopping, and continued galloping northward, raising dust clouds in their wake.

Emma watched the dust rise from the horse hooves, and a smile appeared on her lips. She didn't expect the first familiar person she encountered after rebirth to be Ace, the Seventh Prince!

Ace was the archenemy of Alpha Jeffn. The two of them had fought each other countless times, never clearly determining the winner or loser... Emma remembered when she was alive, that person also had eyes as cold as ice without any trace of emotion. Her lips curled up slightly. Now, the Seventh Prince was probably still studying outside. Suddenly returning, the capital would experience a tumultuous event. She bowed her head, looking at the scar that had appeared on her finger. Meeting an acquaintance; they were shining outside while she remained in darkness. This feeling was exciting.

Finally, the sun completely disappeared, and a crescent moon accompanied by countless stars illuminated the sky, arrogantly shining down with a light that belonged only to them. The uncomfortable hot wind became more bearable, gently brushed by the moonlight, providing a more relaxed sensation, refreshing the soul. Emma followed Mason and Omega Hana back to Beta John's house. She saw Jennifer excitedly rushing over, grabbing Emma tightly. His eyebrows were raised, showing an expression of great joy as he said, "Young Miss, there is great news!"

Mason and Omega Hana were stunned, not understanding why Jennifer suddenly treated Emma warmly. They looked at his face, which seemed to be blooming, and Emma furrowed her brows and then relaxed, intentionally showing a startled expression. She asked, "Aunt Jennifer, what happened?"

Jennifer ignored Emma's strange expression and hastily said, "Beta John's house! Someone is coming from Beta John's house!" Her agitated manner made Emma suddenly think of a possibility. "Beta John's house is in the capital?"

"Yes, yes, Beta Henry sent the foster mother, Ann, to visit the young miss!" Jennifer laughed so much that her face bloomed like a flower. Not only did foster mother Ann come, but there were also a hundred taels of silver as a token of gratitude.

Emma felt even more peculiar in her heart. According to the clues from her previous life, she had to wait another year before Beta Henry remembered his other daughter and sent someone to pick her up. Then Beta John's family in the capital hurriedly brought her from the village to the grand mansion in the capital, announcing to the outside world that she had recovered from her illness, and then brought her back to the capital... How could time be ahead by a year like this?

At that moment, a woman in her thirties wearing a blue silk dress with a golden hairpin on her head and gold earrings in her ears walked out of the room. She smiled and said, "I pay my respects to the Third Young Miss."

Emma looked at her and recognized her as foster mother Ann, the highest-ranking steward in Beta John's house in the capital. She smiled faintly, realizing that everything was true. The Beta John household in the capital must have received information from the capital and quickly welcomed her back.

Alright, very good, everything is going well!
