Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Chenliang listened to Chu Xiaoran's accusations word by word and felt a little depressed.

Nan Chen thought to himself that it was fortunate that his family was not in any difficulty, otherwise he would have ended up like this.

He was the only son in his family. Although he was born and raised in a peasant family, his mother and father loved him very much, and he had never been bullied in his daily life.

Although Chu Xiaoran said this, there was not a single tear in his eyes.

Although his status in the Chu family was like that of a servant, fortunately there were still some servants brought into the house by his father who would secretly protect him on weekdays, so he did not live too miserably.

Chu Xiaoran tried his best to reduce his presence in the Chu family, but Chu Xiaoran's presence was still too stimulating for Chu Zixuan.

After all, Chu Xiaoran has always been the eldest son of the Chu family, and the eldest son will always be the eldest son.

Chu Xiaoran’s name will always appear in the Chu family’s genealogy.

It was wishful thinking for Chu Zixuan to be included in the family tree. Even if he was Chu Lianqin's biological son, an illegitimate child could not be seen in public.

Gu Yanshu's reputation was already bad. She got pregnant before marriage and eloped. All these things combined almost brought shame to the Gu family for eight lifetimes.

Gu Yanshu originally married into the Chu family with the purpose of being the second wife, but she ended up having a son. Chu Lianqin went against everyone's opinion and insisted on marrying him. Now that he has married her, his business reputation has been greatly affected.

Chu Zixuan only entered the Chu family as a stepson. Even if he was his mother's biological son, so what? With this lowly bloodline, he had no sense of existence in front of outsiders.

Chu Xiaoran stretched out his hand and rubbed the knuckle of his middle finger, with his long fingers placed neatly on his knees.

He sat in the carriage with a calm look, looking at Yan Qiu who was driving the carriage in front, pursing his lips in thought.

What is the relationship between Yan Qiu and Murong Beitang? Did that experience that seemed like a dream really exist?

"Xiao Ran, where are your mother and father buried? Why don't we go with you to pay our respects!"

Nan Chenliang really didn't know how to comfort him, but he had heard that he was from a village near Yuecheng. His father died early due to a disease, and his mother later had a conflict with someone and was beaten to death.

"No need to go. I haven't been back for more than ten years. Things and people have changed a lot. If they are still alive, they won't blame me."

Chu Xiaoran knew that Nan Chenliang was naive, but he didn't mean to deceive him. It was just that in the current situation, if he really told them his true identity, it would only cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Yan Qiu was driving the car in front, her hearing was very good. When she heard Chu Xiaoran say this, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

After spending these few days together, I found that although Chu Xiaoran was not talkative, he was humble and polite. He didn't know how to make a fire or cook, but he would help with some chores.

Where on earth did Jin Ming pick up such a lovely girl? Although her appearance is not outstanding, she will definitely be outstanding if she is raised well.

"Xiao Ran, don't worry. From now on, you will be my Nan Chenliang's adopted brother. From now on, my mother will be your mother, and my father will be your real father."

Nan Chenliang reached out and patted Chu Xiaoran on the shoulder. Chu Xiaoran was still a little unresponsive. He only made up a story that was not much different from his own experience. If Nan Chenliang took it seriously, how would he explain it in the future?

"Chenliang... Actually, I..."

Chu Xiaoran smiled bitterly, his father would always be his.

Chu Xiaoran once envied Chu Zixuan for having a father. Although that man was a bit materialistic, he always responded to Chu Zixuan's requests. Chu Zixuan's current personality was probably developed at that time.

During that time, every time he passed by Chu Zixuan's yard, he could always hear Chu Zixuan acting coquettishly to his father. When he was a child, he didn't understand why his mother found a new father and brother to come in.

Later, as he got older, Chu Xiaoran realized that love and hate were just excuses. His mother and father got married only for the business dealings between the two families.

They had no feelings for each other but still gave birth to me. It turns out that you can have children even if you don't love each other...

original……

Chu Xiaoran closed his eyes in some pain, he had been feeling sad recently, maybe it was because he thought too much, or maybe it was because he had never met the person. He had always been alone, and he didn't expect to meet the person who would be with him for the rest of his life.

"Xiao Ran! What's wrong with you? Are you carsick?"

Nan Chenliang looked at Chu Xiaoran who had his eyes closed, and felt a little anxious.

When Yan Qiu heard the noise in the carriage, he deliberately put down the whip and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

"Are you carriage sick?"

Yan Qiu asked, still looking at the road. Although this road was not as winding as the previous one, there were many stones on it, and it was not smooth all the way.

"No, not motion sickness."

Chu Xiaoran smiled, opened his eyes and looked at Nan Chenliang, this innocent child...

"So, are you feeling unwell?"

Nan Chenliang had a simple mind to begin with, and now he no longer had the unfamiliar hostility he had at the beginning towards Chu Xiaoran. He was no longer as repulsive to Chu Xiaoran, and would occasionally show concern for him.

Chu Xiaoran was thinking about something just now. As soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes in his dream would appear in his mind, and what appeared more often was the scene of the strange woman's death.

The battle flag was dyed red with blood, the country was destroyed, the family was ruined, and the general died on the battlefield. It was a pity that she died in humiliation on the execution ground in the end.

"No, I just feel sad when I think about being alone and helpless."

After Chu Xiaoran said this, the pain in Nan Chenliang's eyes deepened.

It was also the first time that Yan Qiu heard Chu Xiaoran talk about his situation. She originally really thought that he was motion sickness.

Yan Qiu quickened his movements. The dust brought up by the carriage on the road filled the entire yellow sand avenue.

"If you're thinking so much, then what's the meaning of our existence?"

Chu Xiaoran looked up at Nan Chenliang who was sitting next to him with some confusion. Nan Chenliang's slightly chubby cheeks were slightly flushed. He thought that he could only say such cheesy words to comfort him.

Nan Chenliang's mother and father never restricted his personality, nor did they treat him as strictly as they did their sons in the city. It is indeed rare for someone to be able to live out his true self in the countryside.

"I mean, cousin, I saved you and gave you a chance to be reborn. Just live the rest of your life well, no matter how hard your life was in the past."

Nan Chenliang sighed slightly. He had not experienced other people's lives, so what he said here was naturally in front of bystanders.

"I don't know where I should go in the future. After all, if I stay here for a long time, it will affect Jin Ming's marriage and having a daughter."

Nan Chenliang puffed his lips in anger: "What impact does it have? If I can marry my cousin in the future, I will definitely keep you here."

Chu Xiaoran listened to his childish words and knew that his thoughts were towards Nan Jinming.

It's just a pity that after spending so much time together, Chu Xiaoran can also see that Nan Jinming has no romantic feelings for Nan Chenliang.

"After all, this is not my home, and I can't live here for long. This time when I come to the city, I might as well find a good place to go. Even if it's doing odd jobs in a tavern or washing dishes, I can do it."

Nan Chenliang listened to what he said, and for some reason, he felt angry and felt that he shouldn't do these things.

"Your cousin's family has plenty of food, so you can stay as long as you want."

Chu Xiaoran smiled bitterly: "Chenliang, you are still young, you won't understand."

Chu Xiaoran seemed to have made up his mind to leave, and he left very suddenly. Perhaps this time he came to the city to say goodbye.

Both of them seemed to have noticed something, and as soon as they entered the gate of Yuecheng, Yan Qiu went to deposit the carriage.

"Sister Yan Qiu, where are we going?"

Yan Qiu took a look at the two people's clothes and then met Chu Xiaoran's eyes. Some people want to leave, and you can't keep them.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Yan Qiu asked Chu Xiaoran in a serious tone.

Chu Xiaoran nodded.

Nan Chenliang stood nearby and didn't understand what was said between the two. Chu Xiaoran didn't bring anything when he came, and he didn't need to take anything with him when he left this time.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand you. Are you playing dumb in front of me?"

Nan Chenliang stretched out his finger and poked Yan Qiu's arm. When Yan Qiu looked at him, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Chenliang, next year will be your coming-of-age ceremony. I'll buy you some clothes."

Nan Chenliang saw that she was deliberately avoiding the topic. He was also a sensible person, so since she didn't want to talk about it, he would ask again.

"Well, do you have enough money in your purse?"

Nan Chenliang glanced at the purse around Yan Qiu's waist.

Yan Qiu patted his waist and said with a smile: "I still have some spare banknotes here, how can it be not enough?"

Chu Xiaoran stood aside without saying a word, just staring at them. The three of them walked on the busy street with stalls on both sides.

Nan Chenliang and Chu Xiaoran were both opened their eyes to the dazzling array of goods. One was locked up in a deep house and seldom came out, while the other grew up in the countryside and had rarely seen anything like it.

Nan Chenliang is now growing up, and his appearance is also very good. Although Chu Xiaoran's appearance is not what the public likes, it is not much worse. People who pass by will take a few glances at them.

But in a place like Yuecheng where both men and women are good-looking, you still need some capital to attract other people's attention.

Chu Xiaoran followed Yan Qiu silently. Nan Chenliang looked at the new things around him and stopped in front of a stall selling bracelets.

"Why? You like bracelets?"

Nan Chenliang pointed to a emerald green jade bracelet on the stall, turned to look at Yan Qiu, and said, "My father likes bracelets very much, but the family doesn't have any extra money to buy him one. Yan Qiu, can you..."

Yan Qiu didn't even blink and gave the money directly: "Boss, pack this bracelet."

"okay."

The boss had finally found someone who didn't bargain when buying things, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly packed up the things and handed them to Yan Qiu.

"Here you go, take good care of it."

Nan Chenliang felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the first time he asked for something.

Although he knew that Yan Qiu came from a well-off family and was very rich, he seldom asked him for things. Sometimes Yan Qiu would buy all kinds of things in the city and bring them to Nan Jinming, and he would prepare gifts for him every time he came.

But I really don't have the money to buy a nice bracelet for my father. Although my family is well-off, we don't have any other spare money.

"What's the matter? You just asked me for this bracelet, but now you don't dare to accept it?"

Nan Chenliang's face suddenly turned red. Chu Xiaoran stood beside him without any other thoughts. He just looked at the dazzling array of goods around him and was somewhat curious himself.

"I...I'm not afraid to answer it."

Nan Chenliang reached out and took the packaged bracelet from Yan Qiu's hand and held it in his own palm.

The crowd was so crowded that Yan Qiu couldn't protect both of them at the same time. A group of people rushed out from nowhere and forcibly opened a path, separating Chu Xiaoran and Yan Qiu.

"Yan Qiu! Chen Liang!"

Amid the hustle and bustle of the crowd, no other sound could be heard.

Chu Xiaoran was pushed out by the crowd and happened to bump into a pillar under the eaves next to him, and just stopped.

I only saw a road opened in the middle, and many soldiers gathered around. Soon, a luxuriously decorated carriage passed through the middle.

Chu Xiaoran frowned. He originally thought that these things only happened in storybooks, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene himself.

"Who is this noble man?"

"I heard that it was the eldest son of Prince Qingping, Princess Anle."

“This is quite a grand occasion.”

"That's not true. I heard that this young master is famous in the capital. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was supposed to enter the palace, but he refused to do so. I heard that he wanted to choose his own wife."

"Enter the palace?"

Chu Xiaoran lowered his eyes. He heard that the current emperor was still young and had no real power of his own. Now, all power was in the hands of Prince Qingping.

"Prince Qingping wouldn't care about these things. Even if his son became the Phoenix Lord, no one would dare to say a word."

"But his son is unwilling to enter the palace. I'm afraid it won't be his son's turn to sit on the throne of Feng Jun."

"If it's not his turn, then whose turn is it?"

Chu Xiaoran thought, if he didn't leave now, when would he leave?

Taking advantage of the crowded crowd, Chu Xiaoran walked around the pillars of the eaves next to him and walked into the alley next to him. He just took a look at the luxuriously decorated carriage, but what did it have to do with him?

This time I leave, I don’t know when I will see you again.

Chu Xiaoran was actually still trapped in the dream. He thought, since Murong Beitang has always been his obsession, why not go and meet him?

Even if you only look at it from a distance...

But many years ago, there was no news about Murong Beitang. I heard that he went to southern Xinjiang to guard the border, and later died in the battlefield and there was no news of him anymore. So... can I start looking for him from the border first?

Chu Xiaoran had also made up his mind, to go find her, even if it was just a corpse.

Just think of it as a way to resolve the obsession I've had for so many years...
