Nan Jinming had harvested all the rice in just this morning.

Then they carried the rice back to the yard, put a straw mat on the ground, and poured the rice on the straw mat. This way it could dry quickly in the sun and could be collected quickly.

When I came back, I saw Chu Xiaoran and Nan Chenliang discussing something together. They were whispering and glancing at Nan Jinming from time to time.

Nan Jinming felt a little strange, but he didn't say anything directly. He just waited until they finished discussing it, then asked, "What are you two talking about behind my back? Are you discussing me?"

Nan Chenliang glanced at Nan Jinming, then his cheeks turned slightly red.

Chu Xiaoran's expression wasn't much better, he just listened to his whisper quietly.

Nan Chenliang actually asked his father about his opinion. His father and mother also planned to marry him to Nan Jinming, but...

Because he hasn't reached his coming-of-age ceremony yet, when the time comes, even if Nan Jinming doesn't have this idea, Nan's mother will take the initiative to bring it up.

At that time, it will be a kind of pressure on Nan Jinming. If she does not agree, Nan Chenliang will lose face, and the Nan family will also lose face.

Of course...he had no choice but to agree to this option.

How could Nan Jinming be controlled so easily by them? No one could control her fate, even if it meant changing her mind.

Chu Xiaoran's face was also a little embarrassed, because he knew that Nan Jinming had always regarded Nan Chenliang as his younger brother.

Moreover, in his impression, Murong Beitang... has never been a soft persimmon that can be bullied. If anyone dares to go against her ideas and attempts to control her destiny, they will only be ruthlessly rejected and despised by her, and there will be no way to enter her heart again.

The atmosphere between the three people gradually became awkward. Nan Jinming didn't know what they were discussing, so she just asked politely.

If they don't want to talk about it, I won't delve into it any further.

Chu Xiaoran felt a little awkward here. His relationship with Nan Chenliang was also confusing. In Nan Chenliang's heart, he completely regarded him as a close friend. If he knew that he actually liked Nan Jinming, the relationship between the two would inevitably break down one day, and they would eventually become enemies.

By then, Nan Jinming would be in a very difficult position being caught in the middle.

However, at this point, he had given up too much. At first, he was just grateful to Nan Jinming, but when he found out that she was Murong Beitang, whom he had admired since childhood, ripples began to form in his heart.

"Nothing. I was discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival with my brother Chenliang. I heard that there is a lantern festival in Yuecheng. We can go and watch it together."

Nan Jinming raised his eyebrows, looking indifferent. The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival was here. Time had passed so quickly, and more than half a year had already passed this year.

She didn't feel that she was wasting her time. The leisurely time of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely viewing the southern mountains was something she had never experienced in her previous life.

"Of course, we can go together, along with Yan Qiu. The four of us will go to Yuecheng Inn and ask for two rooms. When we are tired from playing at night, we can just stay in Yuecheng. What do you two think?"

Nan Jinming sorted out the rice ears stuck in the backpack and poured them all into the duck pen.

Nan Chenliang jumped up and down with great joy, a cute and playful smile on his chubby face: "It's a deal then, cousin, you have to keep your word!"

Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated in Lai Fu Village every year. It was not a very grand festival. For Yeguo, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a time for men and women to express their feelings and to give sachets to their loved ones as tokens of love.

Nan Jinming knew the meaning of this festival, and she secretly prepared a sachet to give to Nan Jinming. But what should she do if she was unwilling to accept it?

Nan Chenliang knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was an opportunity to test Nan Jinming's feelings first. Once he was sure that Nan Jinming also had feelings for him, he would tell Nan Jinming that he wanted to propose to her as his coming-of-age ceremony.

While living, we need to do our best to live for ourselves. Nan Jinming is such a person, and so are Nan Chenliang and Chu Xiaoran.

When the sun was setting in the west, a figure was seen in the distance walking towards the courtyard.

Nan Jinming brought out the hot food from the pot and saw Yan Qiu. When Yan Qiu opened the gate, Nan Jinming had already set the table.

"How do you know I didn't have dinner?"

Nan Jinming sat at the table, propped up his head and looked at her.

"You've worked so hard to help find someone, can I not give you a hot meal?"

Chu Xiaoran was secretly embroidering a sachet in the room just now. In fact, the sachet was almost finished. It was a lotus embroidery, which was suitable for Nan Jinming's fresh and elegant personality and in line with her temperament.

"Hey, why didn't I see you say that before? Now that I have someone by my side, you're being nicer to me."

There was something else behind Yan Qiu's words, and as he said this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Xiaoran.

Chu Xiaoran felt uncomfortable being looked at by Yan Qiu, and now he felt a little awkward. He glanced at the rabbit grass next to him and said, "I'll go feed the rabbits."

Nan Jinming nodded. The rabbit had grown a bit bigger in the past month, so he decided to raise it a little longer. He didn't expect Chu Xiaoran to like this rabbit so much. He had been planning to eat it now that it was fat, and it would be delicious if he roasted it, but he thought it would be better to just give up. Since he liked it, he might as well keep it.

I don’t know since when, Nan Jinming seems to think of Chu Xiaoran everywhere.

"It seems that I am redundant and have disturbed the relationship between the two of you."

Yan Qiu picked up the bowl of rice on the table and started eating.

"Don't tell me this nonsense here. Tell me what you found out."

"..."

Yan Qiu gave Nan Jinming a blank look. After all, he was helping her to check, and now he was urging her. However, he thought that this matter was unusual, and Chu Xiaoran's dreams were too weird.

"This Pei Luoshu is a useless piece of mud. She is useless. She just relies on her status as the daughter of Prince Qingping to have fun everywhere. She often goes to places of entertainment, where she has a great time."

Yan Qiu thought about the report from the spy. Pei Luoshu was not a good guy. It would be fine if he just played in brothels, but this lustful Pei Luoshu also liked to rob men from the people. There were plenty of men like him in the houses outside.

Nan Jinming pursed her lips. She had heard that Pei Luoshu was a playboy, but she never expected things to develop to this extent. Originally, Prince Qingping had some control over her, but later he focused his energy on Pei Zhaoli, wanting to send Pei Zhaoli to the palace.

"Does Mr. Haitang have any clues?"

Yan Qiu shook his head. Yan Qiu had a clear and upright face, but he liked to go to brothels to find happiness. As the saying goes, if you die under the peony flowers, you will be a romantic ghost.

Yan Qiu is not bound by worldly matters and doesn't care about other people's opinions. However, she can clearly distinguish between officialdom and daily life. Therefore, even if there are one or two people who dislike her, they can be defeated by her eloquent tongue.

"Not yet. It's strange to say, this Haitang Gongzi should be a flower name, but I have searched all the brothels, big and small, but I can't find any news about Haitang Gongzi."

"So, there is no Young Master Haitang now?"

Chu Xiaoran had finished feeding the rabbits without knowing when and walked towards them.

Yan Qiu glanced at Chu Xiaoran in front of him, wondering what he was so anxious about. It was just a dream, but this dream was a little strange.

Pei Luoshu has not taken any action against Master Haitang yet, and he cannot find any information about him privately.

"Not necessarily. We haven't found Master Haitang yet. It should only take a short time."

"Yan Qiu is right, Xiao Ran, do you still remember what the young master Haitang looked like in your dream?"

Nan Jinming sat up straight. Even if it was a dream, as long as he knew what that person looked like, he should be able to find Master Haitang and change his fate first. He has now lived a peaceful life for so many years and has indeed saved himself a lot of trouble. The only price he paid was to cut off contact with his mother and father.

"I...I forgot. I didn't see Master Haitang in my dream."

Nan Jinming motioned Chu Xiaoran to sit down. Under a dim light mixed with moonlight, Yan Qiu ate his meal until nightfall.

"This is normal. I dream and forget about it when I wake up."

Yan Qiu spoke carelessly.

Nan Jinming was lost in thought, his delicate, knife-cut face looked even more three-dimensional under the shadows of the lights and candlelight.

She didn't really need to know what Young Master Haitang looked like, but Pei Luoshu was the source of the trouble. If she wanted to solve all the troubles she caused, she had to get rid of Pei Luoshu first.

"It doesn't matter. This Young Master Haitang is not the most important. It's just that your dream is a little weird."

Nan Jinming somewhat agreed with Yan Qiu's words. The fact that she was Murong Beitang was known to heaven and earth, she knew it, Yan Qiu knew it, and the person who gave her the disguise technique also knew it. No fourth person knew it.

Who is Chu Xiaoran? He actually has this ability to see the whole process of his disguise in a dream. I'm afraid everything is not simple.

No one had ever known about his reincarnation, so who was Xiao Ran? Was he someone who had had an affair with him in his previous life?

But she was reborn on the battlefield, and after killing the enemy, all she could think about was the ending of a country in ruins but the mountains and rivers remain, and the city is overgrown with grass and trees in spring.

It's not that I didn't hold on, it's that my heart was dead, it was the king's suspicion, the villain's backstabbing, the destruction of the Murong family, and the tragic deaths of my mother and father.

Now I am hiding my identity, at least my mother and father can live well. In my previous life, I was also a young general, fighting bloody battles, but what did I get? It was the threat of the emperor, the exclusion of court officials, and the betrayal of my lover.

Betrayal of a lover?

Nan Jinming admired the prince of Southern Xinjiang and thought he was sincere to her. But what happened in the end? It was just wishful thinking. People have to live for themselves after all. It is really hard to take back your heart once you give it to someone.

When Nan Jinming heard about his lover's betrayal, he became furious and was defeated repeatedly. Finally, he was captured. The Ye Kingdom changed its master. He did not want to become a minister of a fallen country, nor did he want to live alone in the world.
