Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"Hey, the puppy is back?"

Just as Nan Jinming and Chu Xiaoran were about to walk in, they heard a woman's sharp voice coming from the corner. From the tone of her voice, they knew that the person was up to no good.

The one called puppy was the little girl who picked up Chu Xiaoran’s candied haws from the crowd just now.

"none of your business."

"Hey, kid, you are so ignorant! Isn't it because your dad plays with us every day so that we can take care of you more?"

The woman was wearing a dark grey coarse cloth, wrapping herself tightly.

But in comparison, the dirty little girl's clothes were thin, and her face was covered with a layer of black stuff, and it was hard to tell what it was.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Suddenly, a rapid cough was heard from a corner where Nan Jinming and the others couldn't see, followed by a weak male voice.

"Fenghua, come here."

The little girl glared at the woman and quickened her pace towards the corner.

"Daddy, how are you?"

"It's okay, I'm fine, Fenghua, don't worry."

Chu Xiaoran felt that this gentle voice was too familiar. The emotions drawn out from deep in his memory made his face pale. When he heard this gentle and comforting voice, his eyes became a little red.

Xuan Fenghua looked at her father lying on the torn mat. She tried her best to be patient, but she couldn't bear it because she was still young and had too many things to face.

She had never seen her mother again since she was born, but the place where she was born was destined that she would be able to find her real mother in her lifetime.

Nan Jinming stood there and was not in a hurry to go in. She did not expect to meet Xuan Fenghua, the young general who would fight on the battlefield in the future, here.

It is said that she was born in a den of beggars, but her decisiveness in killing on the battlefield was no less than when she was young. It's just a pity that the country was not doing well at that time, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not change the final outcome.

"This sound..."

A sound suddenly came out of Chu Xiaoran's dry throat. Nan Jinming turned to look at him and found that there was something wrong with his expression.

"What's with that sound?"

Nan Jinming asked about what he hadn't finished saying.

"Very similar...to my granddaddy who took care of me when I was a child."

Chu Xiaoran has a very good memory. Even if it is someone he met once when he was a child, he can still remember that person’s face. How much more so the nanny who has taken care of him for such a long time?

"Don't worry, little dog. Your dad is just a jerk. When your aunt comes back, take good care of your dad. He will be able to run tomorrow."

Xuan Fenghua knelt beside the mat, her small hands clenched into fists. Because of the woman's words, her angry tears fell on the mat.

She is too weak now and is no match for this woman. Her father had given everything he had to get this shabby corner, and she cannot afford to lose face with him.

"This woman is so abominable!"

Chu Xiaoran clenched his fists and wanted to step forward.

Nan Jinming grabbed Chu Xiaoran's wrist and pulled him back when he had just taken a half step forward.

Xuan Fenghua is indeed a good candidate. She can still swallow her anger in this situation. Her patience is not something that ordinary people can possess. It is really not easy for her to judge the situation in this situation.

"Please be patient, let's see what happens first."

Chu Xiaoran looked at Nan Jinming's dark face and realized that she was also trying her best to endure. Otherwise, according to her methods, this woman would have been beheaded long ago.

"But grandpa..."

"As long as I'm here, it'll be okay."
