Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Before Yan Qiu left, she kept asking Nan Jinming to give her a can of wedding wine so that she could drink it when she came next time.

Chu Xiaoran blushed and hid aside, and did not hear how Nan Jinming answered Yan Qiu next.

This was the second day after Yan Qiu left, and also the third day since Nan Jinming and Chu Xiaoran moved into the Xiao Mansion. Tomorrow was the day Chu Lianqin would be buried. Rich people were buried seven days after the burial, so Chu Lianqin's body was still in the lobby of the Chu Mansion.

The Chu Mansion is not far from the Xiao Mansion, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there. After a while, although the two mansions are not adjacent to each other, as long as you stand in a high place, you can see the layout of the Chu family's courtyard.

“Is this cake delicious?”

Chu Xiaoran suddenly leaned forward and blinked at Nan Jinming in front of him. Nan Jinming was fair and clean-looking, and her face had the air of a scholar. In addition, she was a general, so she had a combination of strength and gentleness.

"Try it."

Nan Jinming looked at the playful Chu Xiaoran in front of him and put the remaining half of the cake in his mouth into Chu Xiaoran's mouth. Chu Xiaoran was stunned and kept leaning forward with his hands behind his back. The clothes on his body were also custom-made by Nan Jinming a long time ago. As for why he knew Chu Xiaoran's size, it was unknown.

"Is it tasty?"

Nan Jinming had a triumphant smile on her face. When she wasn't smiling, she was quiet and beautiful, with the aura of a gentle scholar. When she was smiling, she was sometimes unruly, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, so arrogant that no one could tame her. Sometimes she was like a gentle sunshine and spring breeze, and sometimes she smiled cunningly. She was mostly like this when she was joking with others or wanted to tease others.

Chu Xiaoran stood up straight, but in the next second Nan Jinming grabbed his arm and pulled him down. He fell into her arms with his face pressed against her heart. The thumping sound was undoubtedly Nan Jinming's heartbeat.

Chu Xiaoran felt like he was about to be scalded, and the moment he touched Nan Jinming, he felt a little at a loss.

What did he do just now? He just wanted to tease her, but... Nan Jinming set a trap for him instead.

"Why aren't you talking? I asked you if this cake is delicious?"

Nan Jinming put his arm around Chu Xiaoran's slender waist, and Chu Xiaoran sat on Nan Jinming's lap. Nan Jinming sat on a recliner, and the chair swayed slightly twice with the movements of the two, and it has not yet stopped.

The weather in August and September was not cold, and both of them were wearing thin clothes. Nan Jinming hugged Chu Xiaoran's waist and squeezed it. Fortunately, it was a little more fleshy than the first time he hugged her, which was still not bad.

Who could have known that she would find a husband and come back home? She thought that the family fortune she had hidden away would never be used...

"Let...let me up."

Chu Xiaoran stared at her with his ear still against her heart, which was beating very regularly, except for the initial period when it beat a little faster.

Nan Jinming thought, since Chu Xiaoran wouldn't take the initiative, then she would take the initiative herself. After all, how could the husband she had already got run away?

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

The breath of Nan Jinming's words fell on Chu Xiaoran's forehead, and Chu Xiaoran's face began to turn red. Now she had no support, and her whole body was lying on Nan Jinming, leaning sideways, with her ear against her heart. The ambiguous atmosphere made the servants next to them dare not look at the two of them directly.

"Tomorrow is your mother's seventh day. We should go to the Chu family to pay our respects."

Nan Jinming suddenly talked about business. Chu Xiaoran hadn't reacted yet, but after hearing what she said, he felt relieved to have someone backing him up.

Nan Jinming patted Chu Xiaoran's back gently: "I know you have suffered a lot of grievances in the Chu family before. This time I am going there to help you get back what you deserve."

Chu Xiaoran curled his lips and smiled calmly: "Okay."

"So what are we going to do today?"

Nan Jinming asked himself and answered it, thinking that Chu Xiaoran didn't have many clothes, it could be said that he had no change of clothes at all. Since he had some free time today, he might as well take him to the fabric shop to customize a few clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. If he was willing to use his own money in the future, he could let him choose some fabrics he liked for customization.

"Listen to you."

Chu Xiaoran speaks very little and usually listens to Nan Jinming. He is passive in matters of the heart and often hopes for Nan Jinming's favor.

There are only four servants in such a large courtyard as the Xiao Mansion, one guards the front door, one guards the back door, one cleans the courtyard, and one cooks and washes dishes.

Nan Jinming thought that the princes and nobles in the past all had followers with them, so he thought of buying one for Chu Xiaoran as well.

The loyalty and innocence bought back cannot escape, the indenture is in one's hands, in Ye country slaves can only be slaves forever, the hierarchy is too strict.

"How about going out this afternoon to buy some things for the house?"

Chu Xiaoran nodded, supported himself on Nan Jinming's shoulders and sat up. He was afraid that her body would become numb after lying on her for so long that he would not dare to move.

"It's all up to you."

Chu Xiaoran did not ask Nan Jinming about the wedding date. He always believed what Nan Jinming said. Every word she said was enough to leave a scar on his heart.
