Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Jinming came to the capital of Yu State, Xuecheng.

The geographical location of Yu State in the north is not very good, because the most difficult time in the north is winter, and the winter is relatively long compared to the south.

On the day Nan Jinming arrived at his destination, there was light snow falling from the sky. Although it was October, one could clearly feel that the weather in the north was a bit cold.

The geographical location of Yu State is not as good as that of Ye State and Southern Xinjiang, so the food grown here is relatively small, and most of the food needs to be purchased from Ye State.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that cattle and sheep farming are relatively developed in the north, so the beef and mutton can be sold to other countries for very high profits.

As soon as Nan Jinming walked into the city gate, he saw people around him bustling about doing business. Some were exchanging grain for beef and mutton. Yu Guoshen could tacitly approve of this since they were all equal transactions anyway.

Excluding costs, it is indeed cheaper to buy beef and mutton in your own country.

Nan Jinming walked through the crowd and entered a shop, where he would rest for a while. He then put the horse, which had accompanied him for a long distance, into the stable and asked the waiter to take good care of it.

"The young lady doesn't look like a native."

The shopkeeper was very hospitable, so Nan Jinming put his luggage in the room. He heard that there were a lot of people coming and going in Yuguo's inn, so he could easily make a big deal.

Nan Jinming wanted to try his luck. Besides, there were many people coming and going in the inn, so he could get a lot of information.

"I am from Ye country."

"Then why are you here? You seem to be alone. Are you here to do business?"

Nan Jinming looked at the clothes she was wearing. They were still Yan Qiu's, so she should buy herself another set. However, the situation was quite urgent now, so she didn't care too much. She would buy another set of clothes when she had time and found her husband.

"No, I'm here to look for my husband."

"Your husband? Is he from Yu country?"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She had met many people. Looking at Nan Jinming in front of her, she couldn't tell for a moment. Nan Jinming's temperament had some elegance, but also some general's aura.

"He is from Ye country."

Nan Jinming himself was actually not sure. After all, he suddenly found out that Chu Xiaoran’s biological mother was not Chu Lianqin, and his father-daughter relationship was also rather mysterious.

"Then how did it come to us?"

It starts snowing in Snow City in autumn. If the weather is fine, the scenery of the entire Snow City is very beautiful, especially when the sun shines on the snow, it is very beautiful.

Nan Jinming picked up the wine glass on the table and deliberately avoided the shopkeeper's questioning. How should she answer?

Was it because she was busy with business and neglected her husband, which led to him being kidnapped by someone?

Nan Jinming felt very depressed when he thought of this. If he had accompanied Xiaoran to the southern suburbs at that time, or sent two more people to follow him, perhaps this kind of thing would not have happened.

"Miss, do you need some food and wine? We have roast beef and roast lamb here, both of which are excellent side dishes."

Nan Jinming brought a lot of banknotes with him this time, and he also had money for hotel accommodation.

But what does it mean that this shopkeeper in front of me keeps hanging around?

“Do you have mutton soup?”

Nan Jinming, a southerner, cannot adapt to the northern weather so quickly. In addition, Yan Qiu's clothes are only suitable for the winter weather in the south. If the weather becomes extremely cold in the later months, the clothes may not be able to withstand it.

Mutton soup can warm up the body quickly. Although drinking alcohol is okay, it will cause trouble, so it is better not to drink.

Nan Jinming thought so, and then looked at the shopkeeper who was greeting customers next to him.

"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the mutton soup. It's been simmered all day and has a rich flavor."

Nan Jinming nodded, then sat in a corner, listening to the conversations of the guests. As the saying goes, anyone who interacts with people in the underworld can probably know a lot of gossip.

"I heard that the eldest prince's son has been found."

"Hasn't the eldest prince been missing for several years? How come he was found all of a sudden?"

"We didn't find the eldest prince, we found his son."

Nan Jinming frowned. He had never been to Yu State in his previous life, nor had he ever paid attention to what happened in Yu State. He only knew that the emperor was very young, capable, ruthless, but he managed Yu State in an orderly manner.

"Where did you find it? Is it really royal blood?"

"How would I know? Your Majesty naturally has his own methods."

"I heard that she was finally made a princess and given Xuancheng as her fiefdom."

"It seems that His Majesty is very fond of this recovered princess!"

"Your Majesty and the eldest prince are the best. His posthumous child will naturally be more valued."

"I heard that a celebration will be held tomorrow to announce the princess' return."

Nan Jinming stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the pattern on the wine glass, feeling a little moved.

Xiaoran came to Yu State, and the princess of Yu State also came back. Is this a coincidence, or are they the same person from the beginning to the end?
