Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"Sister Yan Qiu!"

In the evening, Nan Chenliang finished his farm work at home and came to Nan Jinming's place for dinner. He cooked a large table of dishes. Just as he put the food on the table, he saw a figure flashing outside the fence. He looked up and saw Yan Qiu, whom he hadn't seen for half a year.

Nan Jinming was feeding the rabbits in the basket when she heard Nan Chenliang shouting. She looked up quickly and saw someone standing at the door looking at her with a smile.

Chu Xiaoran had just brought the clothes that were drying on the bamboo poles in the yard into the room, and when he came out, he saw a stranger outside the yard.

"Jin Ming! What are you doing? Why don't you open the door for me?"

"You came at the right time, too."

Nan Jinming said something scolding, put down the work in his hands and walked towards the door.

Yan Qiu was carrying large and small bags of things in his hands, and there was a long rope hanging around his neck with snacks wrapped in oil paper hanging on both sides.

Nan Jinming opened the fence for her, and Yan Qiu rushed in without caring about what impression the outsiders would leave.

"Have you eaten yet? You rushed here in the dark at night. Aren't you afraid that something might suddenly jump out on the road?"

Nan Jinming asked this, but still helped her take some of the things in her hand.

"You know that if I come here during the day, it will attract attention. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you."

Yan Qiu threw a coquettish look at Nan Jinming, with a look that said, "You know what I mean," and her voice was only heard by the two of them.

Nan Jinming glared at her fiercely. This person's personality was such that he would speak nicely in front of acquaintances, but in front of him he was like a wild rabbit, with no rules in his words and deeds.

Even if you are coming today, you should at least tell me. Even if you just write me a letter, it will allow me to be prepared, right?

Yan Qiu is the type that all noble sons like. She is the most likable, humorous, and talented. Now, at a young age, she has become the Minister of the Chancellery, which is an important position in the court.

"What happened? The court had some free time and released you?"

Nan Jinming teased her deliberately. There were constant disputes in the court and there were many factions. The most important one was the Sixth Prince's faction headed by Prince Qingping, which had both civil and military talents. Another faction was the Prime Minister's Office headed by the Nangong family. It was a struggle between the court nobles and the new court officials.

Yan Qiu was also quite troubled. Now he was in the middle position. If he got too close to one of the parties, he would be courting death.

Yan Qiu's face changed when she heard this: "Auntie, please stop talking. I finally came out for this trip, and you are still lecturing me like this."

"It's not easy? Did the capital city lose out on your food and drink, or did the court deduct your monthly salary?"

"You know the two living devils in the court. I am stuck in the middle and I am neither a human nor a human being."

"I'm getting sick from staying in the capital, the fresh air here is perfect for me to recuperate."

Nan Jinming rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Good sister, please take me in for a few days~"

Yan Qiu made faces, pouted in grievance, and was about to cry.

"That's all. If that's the case, I'll keep you here for a few days."

Nan Chenliang jumped up and down, came to Yan Qiu, and put his little face in front of Yan Qiu: "Sister Yan Qiu, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

Nan Chenliang is still growing and is now half a head shorter than Yan Qiu.

"Chenliang, I haven't seen you for half a year. You have grown so beautiful. You will definitely be a beauty in the future."

Yan Qiu looked at Nan Chenliang with a doting smile on her face. Nan Chenliang had a good temper and was a bit carefree when he was with Nan Jinming.

Chu Xiaoran stood aside, feeling a little at a loss. After all, this was her friend, and she was an outsider, so she still felt a little awkward.

"Don't praise him anymore. He will really think he is as beautiful as a fairy. Even ten cows can't pull him back."

Nan Jinming brought the things to Chu Xiaoran and stuffed some food into his hands.

"These are some snacks. You can eat them when you are hungry at night."

"No, thanks."

Chu Xiaoran was about to give her something again, but she had already turned around and put the things on the counter under the eaves. Chu Xiaoran had no choice but to go over and put the things together.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"No, Chenliang cooked a lot of dishes. I thought we couldn't finish them. But you're here, aren't you?"

Nan Jinming patted Yan Qiu on the shoulder and asked her to sit down at the table. After all the dishes were served and everyone was seated, Yan Qiu turned her eyes to Chu Xiaoran.

"Jin Ming, where did you kidnap this young man from? He is so handsome."

Following Yan Qiu's question, Nan Jinming glanced at Chu Xiaoran and saw that he was looking down, holding the bowl with one hand and playing with the rice in the bowl with the other. He must have heard Yan Qiu's words, as his hand movements paused.

Nan Jinming reached into the mushroom stewed chicken, picked up a whole chicken leg, put it in Yan Qiu's bowl, and said unhappily: "Just eat yours, you are too talkative, you have been talking non-stop since you came in."

Yan Qiu is good-looking and has a great appearance. When she was in the capital, she loved to flirt with women and couldn't move her feet away when she saw a handsome young man.

But you know that a friend’s husband should not be deceived.

"Hey, Jin Ming, you are not being righteous!"

"what happened?"

Nan Jinming looked puzzled.

"I was so worried about you and came all the way to see you, but you didn't even tell me that you were getting married. You're so disloyal, so disloyal."

Chu Xiaoran lowered his head to eat and almost didn't react. He chewed the rice in his mouth and didn't swallow it.

"Sister Yan Qiu! He is not. He is just staying at my cousin's house temporarily."

Nan Chenliang was the first to stand up and refute. It was Yan Qiu's fault that he was always so unruly and didn't know the whole story, so he liked to talk nonsense.

"So it's a hero saving a beauty?"

"Eat your food!"

"Here……"

Nan Jinming had a headache and reached out to pinch Yan Qiu's thigh hard.

"what!"

"What's wrong? Is the food I cooked not tasty?"

Nan Chenliang cast a threatening look on Yan Qiu's face.

"Ah? I mean, ah! This is truly a delicacy! It's even better than what the chefs in the capital make!"

"Hmph! It's best to speak the truth."

Nan Chenliang raised his chin proudly and put a piece of meat into his mouth.

Yan Qiu curled his lips. The current situation was really unpopular. He almost offended these two living ancestors. It was just a few words. Was it really that serious?

Besides, given Nan Jinming's usual quiet personality, why would he let someone stay in his house for no reason?

Forget it. Whatever Jin Ming does, there is always a reason for her to do so. I helped her to conceal the truth in the past, and now if she needs anything, I will do my best to help her.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"Sister Yan Qiu, you have to eat all the food I cook, then I won't be angry."

"Then I will be like the pigs in the pigsty?"

Nan Jinming's yard was much more lively tonight, and time passed quietly amid everyone's laughter.
