Nan Jinming thought that since she was in the capital, she might as well go back to see her mother and father. So, she disguised herself and came to the outside of Murong Mansion.

Looking at the two big characters "Murong" on the plaque on the door, Nan Jinming felt extremely complicated.

He left the Murong Mansion. Now, the Murong Mansion has fallen into decline and no one regards him as a thorn in their side anymore.

He also secretly sent people to protect the people in Murong Mansion. All he wanted was to be able to protect them for the rest of their lives.

Nan Jinming arrived at the door and happened to see his father going out. Looking at his increasingly thin body, he knew that he had suffered a lot of grievances over the years.

The daughter who was once a powerful and famous person suddenly died in the battlefield. The status of the Murong Mansion in the capital suddenly fell into an icy cave, and the house was deserted. No one came to ask for peace because of Murong Beitang anymore.

Even though she was a member of the former royal family, Murong Beitang's mother no longer had her previous status. She had retired from the court for many years. Now the Murong family was barely making ends meet by running some small businesses and relying on the foundation left by their ancestors.

Nan Jinming stood behind a pillar nearby, avoiding Master Murong. Looking at his gradually receding figure, with some white hair on his head, she felt a little guilty.

It didn't matter if she died, but she didn't want to get the news of her parents' death again, and that man was about to go to the capital, and since he was already here, he couldn't leave for a while.

"Master Murong, is Madam feeling better?"

Nan Jinming was still a little worried, so he followed. He happened to see his father buying vegetables and heard someone talking to him.

Murong's husband forced a smile and said in a gentle tone: "She is feeling better now, but she is still recovering, so I plan to stew some fish for her."

Only then did Nan Jinming realize that his mother, who had been so strong all her life, was actually sick.

"This fish is fresh. I just caught it from the river last night. Do you want it?"

"I'll take this one, thank you."

Mr. Murong gave the money and picked up the basket to go to the vegetable market nearby. The fish did look fresh.

"Boss, how much is this fish?"

Nan Jinming watched his father's back as he walked away, then hurried forward, looked at the fishmonger next to him, and started talking to him.

"Five cents, not very expensive, five cents for one ounce."

Nan Jinming frowned. He didn't expect that the prices in the capital were still quite expensive. If this kind of fish was in Lai Fu Village or Yuecheng, it would only cost three taels of silver.

"Then give me one pound."

"okay!"

"Help me deal with this fish. I don't want the scales. Also, cut open its belly and clean the inside."

Nan Jinming knew that what she said was a bit excessive, but there was nothing she could do. The fishmongers would definitely agree to it for the sake of their livelihood, and she would also give them a little tip, so she naturally wouldn't let them help in vain.

"Don't worry, Miss. This is no problem."

Nan Jinming's elegant aura made everyone around her couldn't help but glance at her.

"Boss, what kind of fish did the middle-aged man buy just now?"

"It's a crucian carp. The stew is pretty good. He asked for a stew, so I recommended it to him. Do you want another one?"

Nan Jinming waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, are you saying that his family members are sick?"

"Don't you know him? You must have just arrived in the capital, right? He is the male owner of the Murong Mansion. He is gentle and friendly to the people around us. He is not like those high-ranking officials. I heard that he is a descendant of the old royal family. Moreover, his daughter died on the battlefield to defend the country. We usually take good care of him."
