This prodigal daughter!

Lin Sanshui opened his mouth to scold Gu Nian. Then, he saw Gu Nian’s sparkling eyes and the constant mention of what delicious food she would make when they returned. Lin Sanshui suddenly could not bring himself to say anything.

“Forget it, forget it. The money was gone, and this child has good intentions.” Lin Sanshui thought.

Furthermore, Lin Sanshui found the red braised meat Gu Nian talked about to be very alluring. It was like the smell of meat had already surrounded the tip of his nose. It caused him to salivate uncontrollably.

Among them, the one who was most tempted was none other than Dahu.

Dahu had been learning in the kitchen of Qinglin Restaurant for more than a year. However, there was a saying from ancient times, “The master will starve to death if the disciple is taught well”. Hence, the chef guarded against Dahu. He only let Dahu cut some vegetables, light the fire, and make some simple dishes.

Dahu naturally was not willing to be an errand boy for the rest of his life, but there was a limit to how much he could learn.

At this moment, he could not help but be mesmerized by Gu Nian’s explanation of cooking.

The Zheng family of Qingyun Town was respectable.

Although the Zheng family was not a government official, they were a famous royal merchant in Yunyao. The wife of the family head was the younger sister of King Nan’an. If the two families worked together, they would have money and power.

Nan Jinyu had come to Qingshan Town this time to find a nice place to recuperate. Because her aunt’s family was also here, it was convenient to stay around.

After paying his respects to his aunt and uncle, Nan Jinyu was arranged to stay in the Zheng family’s best courtyard. It was next to the Zheng family’s second young master’s courtyard.

The Zheng family made this arrangement because of their selfishness. Madam of the Zheng family was the great-aunt of King Nan’an. When the prince ascended the throne, there would be a layer of separation between aunt and nephew.

Therefore, they wanted to use this opportunity to let the two cousins cultivate their relationship. When Nan Jinyu inherited the crown in the future, he would take care of the Zheng family.

Nan Jinyu sat in front of the window, looking at the beautiful scenery. His slightly tender face revealed a cold expression.

Looking again, Nan Jinyu was not sitting on a stool, but in a wheelchair.

Nan Jinyu was not only the son of King Nan’an but also the son of Princess Xueluo. Unfortunately, his mother died while giving birth to him. After a year, King Nan’an married his cousin, Mrs. Yao.

Nan Jinyu had been weak since he was a child, which made King Nan’an worry. King Nan’an did not hesitate to pay a high price to invite the sacred doctor to help Nan Jinyu recuperate.

Nan Jinyu was fine, but a few months ago, he was poisoned with an incurable poison. Although Nan Jinyu managed to survive, they had no choice but to suppress the poison to his legs, which led to his current situation.

At this moment, the accompanying guard brought the washed peaches over and placed them on the table. “Your Highness, these are the peaches that Your Highness ordered me to buy. They have been washed.”

According to tradition, the prince should have a servant girl by his side to take care of him. But ever since that incident, the prince did not like to be close to people, especially women.

Even the people who served him had all been replaced by manservants.

“You may leave.” Nan Jinyu indifferently replied.

“Yes.”

After the guard left, two people appeared out of thin air in the room. One of them was tall and strong, with a big knife at his waist. The other was thin and weak, with orchid fingers, looking enchanting.

“Your Highness, His Majesty already knows what happened to you and has specially sent two of us to serve you. His Majesty has also found two good chefs from the capital. They are already on their way. They will probably only arrive in a few days.”

The tall man was called Zhao Qi. He was from the Dragon Protection Squad. The Emperor and Princess Xue Luo were siblings. Princess Xue Luo had died long ago, so the emperor gave all his love to his nephew, Nan Jinyu.
