Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

When Chu Xiaoran returned to the Princess's Mansion, Qingyu was curled up in the corner and didn't dare to get off the carriage. She was obviously frightened by Nan Jinming's behavior just now.

Chu Xiaoran extended his hand to Qingyu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she is not a bad person."

Qingyu shook her head, still very alert, looking at Nan Jinming who was standing straight beside her.

Nan Jinming shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness, and took out all the luggage in the carriage.

Qingyu looked at Nan Jinming in front of her and walked towards the gate of the Princess's Mansion, leaving only a straight back behind them.

Qingyu then dared to hand his hand to Chu Xiaoran in front of him. Chu Xiaoran helped him get off the carriage, and his comforting tone fell into his ears: "Don't be afraid, she just likes to play pranks, she's not a bad person."

Fortunately, Nan Jinming walked in front, otherwise she would have been so angry that she would have vomited blood after hearing her husband say such words.

Qingyu nodded half-believingly, so did she just escape from the tiger's den and fall into the wolf's den?

Nan Jinming walked in front, holding large and small bags in his hands, looking at the mansion in front of him. The plaque on it had the words "Princess Mansion" written in big red gold letters. The plaque was quite new, and the emperor really put a lot of thought into it.

Nan Jinming thought so in his heart and was about to walk in, but was stopped by the gatekeeper in front of him.

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is? How dare you barge in without permission!"

Nan Jinming glanced at the two people in front of him calmly, then raised his chin and said with interest: "Isn't this the Princess's Mansion? I'm not blind. I'm your Princess's old lover. Why can't I go in?"

The two gatekeepers in front looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Chu Xiaoran behind Nan Jinming. Qingyu followed next to Chu Xiaoran. He was a favorite of the emperor and used to follow Xiahou Chunan in and out of the palace, so the two gatekeepers probably knew each other.

"Your Highness."

Nan Jinming raised his eyes slightly and saw that the two gatekeepers in front of him had already saluted Chu Xiaoran behind him.

It seems that they are still quite loyal, so there is no need to replace them with another group of people.

Chu Xiaoran waved his hand: "No need to be so polite. In the future, the Princess's Mansion will not need so many red tapes. You just need to take care of this yard, and I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Chu Xiaoran also acted like a princess, and stunned the two people in front of her.

"As ordered."

"Come on, go in, and stop making trouble."

Chu Xiaoran turned to Nan Jinming beside him and coaxed him in a very doting manner. The other people in front of him were stunned in surprise. They didn't expect that this woman was so rude and really had something to do with the princess.

"What's wrong with me?"

Nan Jinming tilted his head with amusement and let Chu Xiaoran hold his hand and walk into the Princess's Mansion.

Xiahou Chunan didn't know whether it was out of guilt towards Chu Xiaoran's father or because he valued his nephew, but the princess's mansion was well built and the flowers, plants and trees in the yard looked like they had been planted for a long time.

"Who lived in this mansion before?"

Qingyu hesitated and frowned. This mansion was originally the villa of His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince. Many of the flowers, grasses, trees and woods here were planted by His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince. There is also a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the center of Garden Town, which was planted by the Eldest Prince when he was young.

"Qingyu, you will be mine from now on. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide anything."

Chu Xiaoran advised in a gentle voice. He only hoped that the people around him could be more sincere instead of calculating everything.

From the moment Qingyu appeared in front of him, he actually thought that if he did not trust someone, he should be trusted. Naturally, he hoped that he could open his heart to him.

"In fact, the original owner of this mansion was the eldest prince. But after he disappeared, His Majesty had people take good care of this courtyard. However, after more than 20 years, he still hasn't returned."

Chu Xiaoran looked around. There were several relatively large evergreen trees, as well as an osmanthus tree in the yard that looked to be more than twenty years old. The flowers had bloomed now, but a faint osmanthus fragrance still remained.

"You said this yard belongs to your father?"

Chu Xiaoran felt a little sad. He didn't expect that after so many years, he could still see the place where his father lived. It was as if he could see him planting the osmanthus tree himself.

"Xiao Ran..."

Nan Jinming felt the sad atmosphere around him, and his heart tightened. It would be futile to say more at this moment. After all, his father had passed away a long time ago, and the dead could not be resurrected.

"I'm fine. I just felt like I hadn't seen my father for a long time."

"You fool, you always think about so many things. Those are all things of the past. Now that I am by your side, I will naturally love and protect you and will not let you get hurt in the slightest."

Nan Jinming was afraid that he would think too much, so he reached out and held him in his arms.

Qingyu was standing nearby, with bags in his hands making it difficult for him to move. When he saw the two people hugging each other in front of him, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.
