Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

In the front yard of the same mansion.

Xu Tongzhi, who tacitly agreed that his son had attacked the Chen family, also received the news at this time.

Xu Tongzhi gently turned the ring on his finger and instructed the butler beside him, "Go and find out what's going on."

The housekeeper took the order and left in a hurry. Xu Tongzhi picked up the teacup calmly.

He was very calm in his heart. He knew that it was his eldest son who was in contact with the bandits, and he himself would not be implicated. Even if he found solid evidence that his son had hired bandits, as long as he, as the father, did not fall, his son could save his life.

However, before Xu Tongzhi finished his cup of tea, the housekeeper came running back in a hurry.

"Sir, something bad has happened! The prefect has sent soldiers to surround the house!" the housekeeper reported breathlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Huai rushed in with a group of people.

"Catch him!" Song Huai gave the order decisively.

Xu Tongzhi was furious and shouted, "How dare you! I'm the Tongzhi of a prefecture, how can you dare to trespass?"

Song Huai raised the two warrants in his hand and sneered twice: "Haha, sir, please see clearly what this is!"

Xu Tongzhi opened his eyes wide and saw that it was the arrest warrant and search warrant from the prefect.

Without waiting for him to react, Song Huai directly ordered: "Take him away!"

Someone immediately stepped forward to capture Xu Tongzhi, tied his hands, and dragged him out. Song Huai let Xu Tongzhi struggle and curse, and directed his men to disperse and search without being affected.

There was a lot of noise at the Tongzhifu's place, but in Jun Xianlan's yard in Wutong Lane, there was peace and quiet.

Ji Nuan inserted the last silver needle, wiped her hands clean, and took out a pill.

"I have already made the antidote into these pills for you. Since you have been poisoned for too long, you need to take it in three doses, once every three days. You will be completely detoxified after nine days. After that, I will slowly recuperate your body that has been corroded by the toxin. I believe you will be able to return to normal soon." She explained softly.

Jun Xianlan gratefully took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Thank you!" he said sincerely.

God helps those who work hard, and he finally made it to this day.

Doctor Chen, standing nearby, had nothing but admiration for Ji Nuan. He hadn't expected Miss Ji to be so thoughtful as to make the antidote into easy-to-take pills.

Ji Nuan was unaware of their thoughts and was only focused on observing Jun Xianlan's reaction. After Jun Xianlan took the antidote, she gently twisted the silver needle. Half a cup of tea later, Jun Xianlan suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.

Mo Cong quickly handed Jun Xianlan a glass of water and asked her to rinse her mouth to clean the residue in her mouth.

After Jun Xianlan cleaned herself up, Doctor Chen couldn't wait to ask, "How do you feel?"

Jun Xianlan's expression was noticeably relaxed, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes relaxed. She smiled and replied, "I feel like my breathing is much smoother, my chest isn't as congested, and my whole body feels much more relaxed."

Ji Nuan smiled and gently removed the silver needle, saying slowly, "This is just the beginning. You will feel more obvious after taking the medicine twice."

After all the needles were removed, Jun Xianlan calmly tidied her clothes. Doctor Chen moved closer and pleaded earnestly, "Master Jun, please extend your hand so I can feel your pulse."

Jun Xianlan lifted her sleeves and stretched out her arms gracefully.

Doctor Chen carefully felt the patient's pulse. After a moment, a smile spread across his face. "Sure enough, the pulse has improved significantly. The patient is no longer near death."

Ji Nuan finished her tea leisurely, then stood up and said, "From today on, all the previous medicines can be discontinued. Master Jun, I'll come back in three days."

Jun Xianlan straightened her bright red dress, then stood up and enthusiastically invited her, "It's almost noon, Miss Ji, why don't you have dinner here?"

Ji Nuan declined his offer: "Let's wait until next time. Master Jun generously paid me a generous consultation fee, and I still need to make some careful plans!"

"In this way, it seems that I have added a lot of burden to the girl." Jun Xianlan said with a bit of joking, her eyes moving.

Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "You can have more of this kind of burden. I can afford it."

Hearing Ji Nuan say this, Jun Xianlan's face suddenly broke into a dazzling smile, which made Ji Nuan squint her eyes.

"Let's go." Ji Nuan no longer looked at Jun Xianlan, turned around and waved goodbye.

Outside Wutong Lane, Song Bai respectfully saluted Ji Nuan with his fists clasped.

"Miss Ji, the master wants to see you."

After saying that, he glanced suggestively behind Ji Nuan.

Hearing that Song Jinbai came back so soon, Ji Nuan's heart beat faster.

She calmed herself down and walked towards the carriage that Song Bai pointed to.

Lifting the car curtain, Ji Nuan's eyes met Song Jinbai, who had originally closed his eyes to rest. In an instant, his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

"Are you back?" Ji Nuan asked softly, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her words.

"Are you done?" Song Jinbai spoke almost at the same time, with the same joy in his voice.

"Come in and sit down and talk." Song Jinbai made room.

Ji Nuan sat down to one side as she was told, and recalled the promise they had made the day before. She had been quite busy these past two days and hadn't had time to sort out her feelings.

She thought Song Jinbai would stay in Qingyun County for at least ten days or half a month, so how come he came back just one day later?

She asked with a guilty conscience, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"What? Don't you want to see me?" Song Jinbai deliberately put on an aggrieved look.

"No, I thought..." Ji Nuan hurriedly explained, but was gently interrupted by Song Jinbai.

"Okay, don't be nervous." He chuckled, easing the atmosphere. "We just wiped out another gang of bandits yesterday, and there's still a lot to do. I came here, firstly, to see you, and secondly, to pick up the things I asked you to keep."

Ji Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

She took out the letter she had found in Jinfengzhai and the things she had found at Tongzhifu last night and placed them on the small table.

"I happened to run into Thirteen last night at the Tongzhi Mansion." She pulled out the Classic of Mountains and Seas and said, "This account book was found right there in the Tongzhi Mansion's study. Take a closer look. What exactly is recorded here?"

Song Jinbai casually flipped through a few pages of the account book, his brows gradually furrowed, and he obviously discovered something unusual.

"There's definitely something wrong with this account book. The records are very wrong," he said in a deep voice, a sharp look in his eyes. "I'll arrange for someone to check it out."

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but it takes a woman only one day to take revenge.

Ji Nuan was still thinking about Chen Yu being robbed and injured, and was worried that Song Jinbai might have missed Wen Jida when dealing with the bandits, so she seized the opportunity to provoke him. "This time Xu Qing attacked the Chen family, it was actually Wen Jida's idea behind it. The two of them were in cahoots, trying to divide the Chen family's fortune."

Song Jinbai's expression froze when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "Wen Jida was able to use Xu Qing's bandit forces to get things done, which means he knew about the collusion between the two parties long ago. He might have used them to do many things before. Don't worry, this matter involves a lot of people, and no one involved will be left out."
