Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chu Xiaoran felt that at least his trip was not in vain, and now he was on the same front with Shi Yinsheng.

Although this meeting happened today, it will soon reach other people's ears.

But it is fortunate that we can stand together with the Prime Minister, who holds the highest position in the State of Yu. This is also a good thing.

Chu Xiaoran just arrived downstairs and when he was paying the bill he heard the shopkeeper say that Shi Yinsheng had already paid.

Qingyu didn't hear the conversation between the two of them, but when she came out, she saw that the princess looked unhappy.

"Is your Highness feeling unwell?"

Qingyu followed Chu Xiaoran. When they walked out of the reception building, the wind and snow outside had just stopped, and Chu Xiaoran just happened to see Shi Yinsheng's carriage going away.

"No, let's go back quickly, the snow will get stronger soon."

Qingyu quickly opened the umbrella in her hand and held it over Chu Xiaoran's head to protect him from the smaller snowstorms.

Although it was only a matter of a few steps back, there was already a lot of snow accumulated on the ground. Walking back step by step, his shoes still got wet.

Just as Chu Xiaoran walked to the door, he saw a carriage parked at the door of the Princess' Mansion. Nan Jinming lifted the curtain, jumped down, patted her wrinkled skirt, raised her head, and met Chu Xiaoran's eyes.

"Where did you go just now?"

Chu Xiaoran looked away awkwardly, looking at his shoes that had been wet in the morning, like a disobedient child waiting to be scolded.

"Just now, the Prime Minister invited the princess to go to the guest house for tea."

Qingyu sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two, so she took the initiative to step forward and try to resolve the awkwardness between the two.

But it was obvious that he was doing this in vain.

Nan Jinming didn't care what Chu Xiaoran did behind his back, he just kept staring at his wet shoes.

Nan Jinming sighed slightly. Her husband was really ignorant. It was snowing heavily outside, and he was still running outside. What if he accidentally slipped in the snow?

"Let's go."

Chu Xiaoran avoided her gaze a little, but still came to her side obediently.

Nan Jinming took his hand, and then walked towards the gate of the Princess's Mansion. The two walked side by side without saying another word.

After returning to the room, Nan Jinming asked him to sit on the edge of the bed, then went to find a clean towel, half-knelt beside the bed, and reached out to take off his shoes.

"I can just do it myself."

"Let go."

Chu Xiaoran just wanted to reach out to stop Nan Jinming, but was stopped by what she said.

Nan Jinming simply lowered his head and took off his wet shoes. The snow on them had gradually turned into water, soaking his shoes and socks.

Nan Jinming couldn't help but say a few words: "You went out, so why did you get your shoes wet? Are you discussing something with the Prime Minister that you want to hide from me? Although the guest reception building is just opposite, you don't have to rush. It's snowing heavily at the moment, and your shoes will definitely be wet when you walk back."

Chu Xiaoran bit his lips with his teeth, looking very innocent, as he watched Nan Jinming in front of him gently help him take off his shoes and socks, and then wipe the water off his feet with a towel before putting on warm socks for him.

"I know I was wrong."

When Chu Xiaoran said this softly, Nan Jinming, who was half-kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I don't mean to say anything to you, but sometimes you still have to take care of yourself. What if you get sick?"

Nan Jinming is actually an extremely gentle person. Chu Xiaoran can feel that she is attentive to every aspect of her life.

When he was in Ye Kingdom, although he had to go out early and come back late due to busy business, Nan Jinming would still think of him, bring him some new things back, and also take some time to teach him how to do accounting.

"It's just that my shoes are wet. I was planning to change them when I got back, but I didn't expect you to come back so early today."

When Chu Xiaoran said this, there was a hint of sophistry in his tone. He knew that Nan Jinming would always remind him of certain things on a daily basis, because he was afraid that he would not take good care of himself when he was alone.

"Why doesn't Qingyu try to persuade you? Don't go out on such a snowy day. You are now a princess. Even if you want to discuss something with the prime minister, just send a message and let her come to you."

Chu Xiaoran naturally thought of this aspect, but it is not good after all.

"There are so many spies in the Princess's Mansion. I'm afraid my aunt will find out."

"What are you two discussing behind my back?"

"Nothing, I just asked the Prime Minister about my father."

Nan Jinming thought he still cared about his background, so after putting on his socks, he reached out and held the back of his hand.

"Don't worry, I will help you find out what happened to His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince back then. Can you wait for me and give me some time?"

Chu Xiaoran had a confused expression on his face. He didn't know that Nan Jinming was helping him investigate in private.
