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

Upon hearing this, Shen Songyang fell into deep thought. He looked at Song Jinbai and asked, "Will it be too difficult for the Ji family to give these things as gifts? These things are rare, and even your grandfather might not have been able to obtain them easily."

Song Jinbai smiled and shook his head, saying nonchalantly, "Uncle, don't worry too much about it. Just keep it. Nuan'er is not an ordinary person. She will definitely have enough of what she can give away."

Shen Songhe also chimed in, sharing the gifts she had received last time: "Brother, this is such a big purple Ganoderma lucidum! Nuannuan also gave me one! And a pair of crystal clear glass cups of excellent quality."

"Glass cup? Xiyue glass?"

Shen Songyang had seen the colored glaze before. The envoys from the Western Yue Kingdom had once presented a pair of colored glaze bottles as birthday gifts to the emperor in public on the emperor's birthday festival. The gifts later came into the hands of the empress.

Shen Songhe: "It is Xiyue colored glass, purer and more translucent than the pair of colored glass bottles in my eldest sister's palace."

Just now, his nephew had said that Ji Nuan was no ordinary person. Shen Songyang had simply assumed that his nephew thought too highly of her and was deliberately exaggerating her. A girl from an ordinary peasant family, yet she could casually give away purple Ganoderma lucidum and rare colored glass. Now it seemed that girl might truly be something extraordinary.

"Jin Bai, who is she?"

Song Jinbai looked at Shen Songyang, his face brimming with pride. "Uncle, have you ever heard of Jun Xianlan, the seldom-seen young master of the Jun family, the foremost imperial merchant? Over a decade ago, after the death of Princess Changjian, who married into the Jun family, the family was plagued by internal strife. Due to a momentary oversight by the head of the Jun family, Jun Xianlan was poisoned. Even Imperial Physician Qiu has been trying to detoxify for years, but to no avail, having done his best to suppress it. And Nuan'er unexpectedly took over Jun Xianlan's care not long ago, and now the poison is completely gone."

Shen Songyang was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

"She cured the poison that even Imperial Doctor Qiu couldn't?"

He could hardly imagine that a young girl could possess such superb medical skills. She could actually cure the poison that even Doctor Qiu couldn't.

Song Jinbai wanted his family to know more about Ji Nuan, and also wanted them to dispel their suspicions about the things Ji Nuan took out and treat them as normal.

He said affirmatively, "Yes. Nuan'er is a good doctor. She has treated many people and made many friends. Naturally, her connections are wider than those of ordinary people."

Shen Songyang nodded, "Jin Bai, send some men over to guard the place. We've been too ostentatious today. Bringing so much betrothal gifts to a farmer's house is bound to attract attention. Although the imperial decree granting the marriage can deter some people, there are bound to be unscrupulous people who will take advantage of it. You should pay more attention and ensure the safety of the Ji family."

Shen Songyang's words undoubtedly showed that he considered the Ji family to be under his protection. Song Jinbai was delighted and said hurriedly, "Jinbai thanks uncle on behalf of Nuan'er."

He looked up and noticed that Shen Songyang's eyes were slightly blue, obviously due to being busy for days. He couldn't help but said with concern: "Uncle, it will take some time to return to the city. Why don't you close your eyes and rest for a while."

Let’s go back to what happened just now. When the Ji family watched the carriage go away, the aunt couldn’t help herself and came over with Uncle Ji and Ji Feng, smiling.

"Xiaomei, Yinzhu, congratulations to your daughter Nuannuan! I never expected that among the girls in our family, Nuannuan is the most blessed." Although the aunt-in-law had a flattering look on her face, there was a hint of sourness in her words.

This sounds like Ji Nuan doesn't deserve to be blessed.

Ji Nuan turned her face away, unwilling to face this hypocritical smile.

Seeing that no one was talking to her, the aunt-in-law didn't take it seriously and continued her performance: "Such a big happy event, with so many distinguished guests, why didn't you ask me to come and help, Xiaomei? We are all family."

Ji Feng was speechless as he listened. When had his mother ever spoken about these social etiquettes? Every time something happened at his two uncles' homes, she would always make excuses or even hide away. But when it came to her own family, she had the audacity to ask her two aunts for help.

He tugged at his aunt's sleeve helplessly and whispered, "Mom, we're here for serious business today, so don't talk about these useless things."

Ji's mother said politely to her aunt: "We have enough manpower, so we didn't think of bothering your sister-in-law."

She noticed Ji Feng's little move and said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, are you here for something? Then go in and talk."

Ji's parents had originally planned to take advantage of the fact that their children were having a rare free time today to discuss the next steps. Unexpectedly, Uncle Ji and his companions showed up unexpectedly, so they had to put their original plan on hold and let Ji Shan and his companions go off to work on other things before resuming the discussion in the evening.

With her parents around, Ji Nuan didn't want to meddle in the eldest wife's affairs and was about to go back to the backyard, but Ji Feng stopped her: "Cousin, don't leave so quickly. I need your help with something."

Unable to escape, Ji Nuan sighed helplessly and had to follow Ji Feng back to the front hall.

Uncle Ji's face was filled with joy, and his wrinkles seemed to have smoothed out. He looked at Ji's father and mother, "Yinzhu, sister-in-law, we were outside watching the fun this morning. Is Nuannuan's fiancé really an official?"

Before Ji's father and mother could answer, the eldest aunt, fearing that Ji's mother would be unhappy because they didn't come to help, rushed to explain: "We originally planned to come in to help, but Xiaofeng was worried that we didn't know the rules and didn't want to offend those important people, so he stopped us from coming in."

In fact, she had heard that the Ji family was accepting the betrothal gift today, and fearing that the Second House would ask her to help out, she had already left early. But when she saw the grand ceremony of the man's betrothal, she couldn't help but be tempted, and joined the crowd to watch the fun. When she learned that the man was so important, with not only the emperor's decree but also countless betrothal gifts, she regretted not coming over earlier to make friends. But her good son Ji Feng was afraid that she would do something bad and bring shame to the Second House, so he dragged her back home, and she missed the opportunity to curry favor with those important people.

Having been brothers for decades, Ji's father could guess at a glance that Ji Dabo came to ask about Song Jinbai's identity specifically because he wanted to save Ji He.

He explained, "Brother, he never revealed his identity to us before, so we just thought he was the young master of Ping'an Medical Clinic. It was only when his in-laws came to propose marriage a few days ago that we found out he was a government official's son."

After receiving a positive answer from Ji's father, Uncle Ji clenched his hands excitedly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He pleaded, "Yinzhu, this is really great! Now that he has this opportunity, and he's your son-in-law, you must ask him to help Big Brother and release Xiaohe from prison. Don't worry, I will definitely keep a good eye on her from now on and won't let her get into trouble again."

After hearing what Uncle Ji said, Father Ji fell silent.

Ever since Ji Nuan told him why Ji He was arrested, he had been completely disappointed in Ji He. He was heartbroken that a girl could do such a thing. He no longer wanted to care about Ji He's affairs, believing that it was her own fault for disregarding family ties, and that he should bear the consequences.
