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

Ji Nuan and Xiaoyao Jian sat in Fusheng Tower drinking tea and waiting for Xuexiang and the others.

The storyteller downstairs was reaching the climax of the story. The audience exclaimed and gasped from time to time. They were all scared out of their wits, but they were still fascinated by the story.

Xiaoyao Jian picked up the kettle and refilled their tea. He asked Ji Nuan calmly, "Sir, are you telling me the story of 'Ghost Paying Homage to His Birthday'?"

Ji Nuan nodded gently, "Well, the gentleman had already finished talking halfway when we came here, how did you know?"

Xiaoyao Jian reminded him, "The book in your room, the one I borrowed."

Ji Nuan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So you have read the book. So, did it scare you?"

Xiaoyao Jian gave her a look that said, "Don't underestimate me." "Even ghosts who see me will kneel down and call me 'Grandma'."

She took a sip of tea and continued, "The storyteller here is quite talented. Look at those people down there. They're so scared, but they still want to keep listening."

Ji Nuan couldn't help laughing.

As she expected, the audience was terrified and unable to stop.

"Well, let the shopkeeper give him a raise." She nodded in agreement.

The two chatted occasionally until they met up with Xuexiang and the other four, then left Fusheng Building and headed straight for the dental clinic.

Mr. Chen asked the steward to deliver not only the property of the Wen family to use to smooth relations and save his son, but also the news that Mr. Wen was selling the property.

The purpose of Ji Nuan's trip was to take over all the properties that he wanted to sell.

Ji Nuan was in a very good mood. As she walked, she thought about Wen Jihong's expression after he was released. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

Zi Yu looked flustered and just kept walking forward, not paying any attention to the people passing by.

"Miss Ziyu." Ji Nuan called out.

Zi Yu heard someone calling her from behind, so she stopped and turned around to stare at Ji Nuan's face for a long time before asking uncertainly, "You... Young Master Wang Fugui?"

When Ji Nuan heard Zi Yu address her, she remembered that she was dressed as a woman. She coughed awkwardly and nodded, "It's me."

Her admission made Xiaoyao Jian laugh so hard that he almost laughed out loud.

Ji Nuan gave her a warning look, then turned to Zi Yu and asked gently, "Miss, why are you like this? Did something happen to you?"

Seeing Ji Nuan's sincere eyes, without the evil hidden in the eyes of those young masters when they looked at her, Zi Yu told the truth: "Please do Zi Yu a favor, Young Master Wang." As she said that, she was about to kneel down in front of Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan held her up and stopped Zi Yu from kneeling. "What are you doing, young lady? If you need any help, just tell me."

Zi Yu looked at Ji Nuan expectantly and said, "Sir, please go to Wushuang Tower and redeem someone for me. I will definitely return the ransom to you when I have enough."

It is not a big deal to redeem someone, but the worst thing is to do a good deed but get into trouble.

She looked at Ziyu and asked, "Who were you originally planning to look for?"

Ziyu lowered her head slightly and answered with some disappointment: "Ziyu went to look for Master Jun, but he was nowhere to be found. He had gone out of town for something. I wanted to go back and ask for help from Yu Niang..."

Ji Nuan nodded in understanding, "I can help you redeem him, but you have to tell me what's going on first."

Seeing Zi Yu nod, Ji Nuan gestured for her to go to the tea stall next to them and sit down to talk in detail.

After the group sat down at the tea stall, Ji Nuan worried that others might be eyeing the Wen family, so she pulled out a stack of banknotes from her bosom and handed them to Xuexiang, instructing her, "Xuexiang, take Feng Ji and Feng Rui to the pawnshop first and buy all the properties that Master Wen has listed. Remember, be careful and don't draw attention to yourself. When you're done, go directly to Elm Alley and wait for me. We won't be returning to the village today."

Xuexiang took the banknote, nodded solemnly, and then left the tea stall with Feng Ji and Feng Rui.

Ji Nuan then turned around and continued to ask Zi Yu, "Who is the person you want to redeem?"

"His name is Zhao Fengnian, he's under fifteen, and he's my biological brother. He's known as Young Master Liuying in Wushuang Tower."

A trace of sadness flashed in Ziyu's eyes. She was no longer the innocent girl she once was. Years of hardship had made her see the world's warmth and coldness. Since the person in front of her was willing to lend a hand, she naturally would not hide her life story anymore and took the initiative to confess:

"My sister and I are descendants of criminals. My father was the previous prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, but somehow he offended the Cheng'en Mansion and was falsely accused of corruption and bribery. A large amount of gold and silver was inexplicably discovered in our home, and my father was beheaded in public, and all his family members were sold off."
