Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Jinming quietly replaced all the servants in the princess's mansion, but at the same time he also bought a new batch of servants and let them live together with the original ones.

Doing so can not only conceal the truth from others, but more importantly, it can avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion.

At this time, after several days of recuperation and rest, Chu Xiaoran's physical condition gradually recovered, and his voice also improved, and he could barely utter short words or phrases.

However, he was completely unaware of Nan Jinming's comprehensive investigation of the Princess' Mansion in order to protect his safety.

In fact, if no one had told him, he might never have known that such an episode existed.

But at this moment, when Chu Xiaoran learned the news that Qingyu had committed suicide by taking poison, he stood there frozen as if struck by lightning!

He could never have imagined that things would develop to such an extent...

I didn't even have the chance to ask him why he chose to take this desperate path?

Why is all this happening?

Chu Xiaoran couldn't help but fall into deep self-blame. If he had cared more and paid more attention to some details, perhaps he could have prevented this tragedy from happening...

However, it's too late to say anything now.

I thought that after returning to my country, with my aunt and uncle by my side, I would receive the attention and care I deserve.

At this moment, Nan Jinming pushed the door open and saw Chu Xiaoran, whose health had improved, wearing a thick cloak and standing quietly by the window.

There was a howling wind and heavy snow outside, but the window was open, allowing the cold wind to rush into the house.

"Do you already know about Qingyu's affairs?" Nan Jinming frowned and asked softly.

As soon as she walked into the room, she immediately felt a chill coming towards her.

Compared to the chilly temperature outside, the house didn't seem much warmer.

She walked quickly to the window and saw a figure standing there quietly, staring at the scenery outside the window.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Chu Xiaoran.

His complexion was better than before, but he still looked pale and haggard.

Obviously, what he had just experienced was a huge blow to him.

"They...have...already...told...me..."

Chu Xiaoran murmured to himself, his voice revealing endless pain and confusion, "I originally... trusted him so much, but... why did it come to this... now?"

His eyes were filled with sadness, as if he had lost the most important thing in his life.

However, when he learned the truth behind the matter, he just showed a heartbreaking expression and did not complain or blame too much.

Looking at Chu Xiaoran who was so fragile in front of him, Nan Jinming felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

She couldn't help but walk forward, hugged him tightly, and comforted him softly: "Don't think about it anymore, he committed suicide by taking poison. In fact, I wanted to give him a chance to live, as long as he could tell the truth about everything, maybe there would be room for maneuver. But he insisted on protecting that foolish emperor..."

"But...Aunt...why did you...attack me?"

Nan Jinming hugged the man tightly in his arms, reached out to tighten his cloak, and raised his hand to close the window.

"Don't worry, I'm by your side and will definitely protect you."

Nan Jinming sighed. He might be exposed to everyone now, but so what? As long as he could protect Xiaoran, he would protect his beloved even if it meant his own death.
