In the original story, Ye Sheng had been searching for her younger sister after Qi Nuan died without her knowing, and the story is developing in the same way now.
Qi Nuan didn't understand why Ye Sheng kept looking for a younger sister with whom she had no feelings. Qi Nuan was abandoned by her parents when she was less than a year old, just like in the original book.
Ye Sheng is a time traveler. When the two were together, Qi Nuan, or rather the original owner of the body, was still an infant. Did Ye Sheng have such deep feelings for her?
Later, Qi Nuan realized that perhaps Ye Sheng was too lonely in this era. Even with the male lead's companionship and love, it was different. Their relatives in this era could not be considered good people.
Only the abandoned baby is the purest, whitest, and most flawless.
She became Ye Sheng's reason to live, and her pillar of support when she encountered setbacks.
There's absolutely no need for them to acknowledge each other; living on in each other's memories is the best thing for them.
"By the way, her younger sister has a red mole behind her earlobe. If you see a girl of similar age, please send someone to let me know. Regardless of whether she is the person I am looking for, I will reward you handsomely."
Qi Nuan unconsciously placed her hand on her earlobe, unaware of whether she had a red mole behind her ear.
"According to what you said, the person you are looking for has no memory. Wouldn't it be easy for someone to fabricate a story?"
"She naturally has other identifiable marks on her body, but it's not convenient to talk about them."
Qi Nuan nodded. There were no birthmarks on her body that she could see, but only the female lead knew the truth.
In the original book, someone impersonated the female lead's sister. This person conspired with the female lead's parents to impersonate her, but the female lead eventually saw through the deception. Presumably, the same thing will happen now.
While the two were talking, the old man next to Amu and Jiang Qi remained silent the entire time. The two kept their eyes down, like two pieces of wood, without moving an inch. Qi Nuan really admired the two of them.
Jiang Qi and Qi Nuan chatted for most of the day without realizing it.
Only after the old man spoke did Jiang Qi realize that he was the one who had come to gather information.
"Young master, it's time to go."
Jiang Qi nodded and said goodbye to Qi Nuan. After she left, Qi Nuan patted her head, thinking that she should probably entertain the guests with a meal.
Forget it, never mind.
She glanced at Amu and said, "Thank you for spending time with me today, Brother Amu."
Amu nodded, and after a long pause, said, "You're welcome."
The others haven't returned yet either.
Thinking of the noodles Jiang Yu had cooked for her that day, she couldn't help but feel a little hungry. "Brother Amu, let's go out to eat. They're all gone, it's rare for them to cook."
Amu nodded, saying he didn't care and was fine with anything.
And so the two of them happily made the decision.
Unexpectedly, the two saw Ah Hua inside the noodle shop as soon as they arrived.
Qi Nuan was pleasantly surprised, "Sister Ahua, you're here too?"
Ahua also saw the two of them. After serving the noodles to the guests, she said to them, "Anuan, why did Amu come out? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
"I want to eat roasted lamb, what about you, Brother Amu?"
Qi Nuan had been craving meat for a long time, and her mouth was watering just looking at the roasted meat that others were eating.
She hadn't had barbecue in a very long time, and wondered if this barbecue would be like modern lamb skewers.
Qi Nuan was filled with anticipation.
Seeing Ahua helping out, she was still a little curious. "Sister Ahua, do you need any help?"
Ah Hua's voice came from the backyard, "No need, you can just wait to eat."
Her voice sounded slightly different from usual, more forthright and generous now.
Qi Nuan was a little bored, so she walked towards the backyard. Ahua was skinning a lamb and looked very skilled. When she saw Qi Nuan, she said, "Anuan, don't come in. It's dirty here. Go outside and sit down first."
Qi Nuan nodded and withdrew her foot from the step she was about to take.
After a while, the waiter brought up some beef jerky. "Girl, Brother Amu, this is beef jerky made from outside the pass. Sister Ahua asked me to bring it to you to eat first."
"Why do you call him brother and me girl?" Qi Nuan asked.
“Brother Amu is older than me, so I call him brother. As for ‘Miss,’ it’s a respectful term.”
The waiter explained briefly and left, before Qi Nuan could finish speaking.
Qi Nuan tried a piece of beef jerky. It had very little seasoning, unlike the spicy and numbing flavors of modern beef jerky. This one had a purer flavor and was quite hard, which was a bit tough on the teeth, but the more you chewed it, the more fragrant it became.
They ate a lot of beef jerky before Xiangxiang came over.
She was also holding a plate of lamb skewers.
She laughed and said, "I wanted to make you a whole roasted lamb, but there are only a few of you, and it would be a waste if we couldn't finish it, so I just roasted some lamb skewers."
There were also several roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) inside. It looks like they were meant to be their main meal.
The three of them sat down to eat together.
Xiangxiang said, "How is it? It tastes pretty good, right? I've been learning how to make it for several days."
"Mmm, delicious."
Qi Nuan praised him, but Amu didn't say anything, as he still had food in his mouth, so he could only nod in agreement.
Seeing their reactions, Ahua's smile deepened.
The aroma of mutton filled the air, and the other customers, whose stomachs were already rumbling with anticipation, called out after seeing the two men eating, "Waiter, bring us a few skewers of mutton too!"
The waiter was overjoyed and announced loudly, "Alright, we'll serve the dishes to all the guests right away."
"These lamb skewers are authentic, exactly the same as the ones I had outside the Great Wall. The owner must be from Rouran."
"Yes, my father was a Rouran, and my mother was from the Central Plains."
The others exclaimed, "Our Lord is so kind! He doesn't discriminate against these foreigners at all. It's so wonderful that everyone gets along so well."
"You're mistaken. Who's rejecting them? It's these foreign tribes who are eyeing our fertile lands, gold, and jewels in the Central Plains. They come to harass our borders from time to time. Don't you see how many people have died at their hands?"
"People are divided into good and bad, and so are foreign races. Look at our country's emperor; he has harmed many people."
"Shh, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"Tch, don't you even look at what time it is now? This world is probably about to change hands."
The conversation grew quieter, but they could still hear it clearly. From the people's comments, they knew how well Song Jingning had done as an official.
"Tell me, how wonderful our Lord is! If only our Lord were... that would be so great."
"It's not impossible. No one else could compare to our Lord when they took that position."
"But we should just say this to ourselves, and not spread it around outside."
"The Prefect's health isn't very good; it seems he's handing everything over to the young master now?"
...
"Young master is quite good too. He even caught a thief on the street the other day and helped me find my wallet."
