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

The luncheon was arranged in the open space of the garden. The ladies of each family brought their daughters and sat at the arranged tables.

Ji Nuan was seated at the first table to Shen Songhe's left, directly opposite Madam Qi and Shen Mingzhu. To avoid being met with Shen Mingzhu's long, sullen face, Ji Nuan had invited Chen Rong and Qiao Qiao to dine with her.

When Qiao Qiao, Ji Nuan and Chen Rong were talking about how the first batch of soaps were snapped up as soon as they arrived at the shops in the county town the day before yesterday, a light yellow figure quietly stopped beside their desk.

The visitor bowed slightly, a shy smile on his face. "Sister Ji, I'm Qiu Shizao, and Qiu Xuezheng is my grandfather. Can I sit with you?"

Ji Nuan looked at her carefully. Seeing that her eyes were clear and she didn't seem to be approaching with bad intentions, she smiled back and said, "Of course, it's okay. But the table isn't long enough. If you want to join us, I'm afraid you'll have to sit on the side."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you agree to let me sit with you." Qiu Shizao seemed particularly happy and quickly ordered the maid beside her to bring her small stool.

After sitting down, she acted as if she and Ji Nuan and the other two had known each other for a long time. Her shyness faded away, and she chatted non-stop, "Is this the Chen family's sister and the An family's sister? I was sitting with my mother, listening to her conversation with the lady at the next table. I was almost bored to death. I just came back from my grandparents' house, so I'm not familiar with the ladies here, and I'm embarrassed to disturb them. Seeing that you guys are quite lively here, I thought I'd sit with you. Hehe, you guys won't mind me interrupting you, right?"

Ji Nuanxin said, you are so familiar with me, how can I have the nerve to complain about you disturbing me?

Qiao Qiao smiled gently, and was also curious because she had never seen someone like her at a banquet before, so she asked, "Have you been raised at your grandparents' house before? This is the first time I see you today."

Qiu Shizao explained, "Well, I wasn't in good health when I was little. Most of my maternal grandparents were doctors, so my parents sent me to live with my maternal grandparents so that I could grow up safely."

Chen Rong was also an extrovert, asking whatever came to her mind. "You weren't here when we got here, were you? How did you recognize us?"

"Hehe." Qiu Shizao laughed awkwardly twice and took out a small booklet from his sleeve. "I asked the maid to find out about this for me after I came back. You're the first, second, and third friends I've made. I'm letting you read this, but don't tell anyone!"

Chen Rong curiously pulled out the booklet in her hand and opened it. "What is this? Why is it so mysterious?"

Ji Nuan also moved closer out of curiosity.

At first glance, wow! It was a picture-filled and illustrated space. The first thing Ji Nuan saw was her own portrait and introduction.

Chen Rong pointed at the portrait in the booklet and said, "Look, Sister Nuannuan, the painting is quite realistic. I can recognize it as you at a glance."

She tutted her tongue, "Look at what's written here—Lord Song's fiancée, owner of Fusheng Tower, stunningly beautiful, with an unknown personality, prefers bright red dresses, and is suspected of possessing peerless magical skills. Hahaha, the other few things are easy to explain, but how did you figure out this peerless magical skill?"

Qiu Shizao asked with a serious face, "Isn't that right? The day I came back, I saw her and another girl near the city gate, and they were right in front of me in a flash. If this isn't a magical skill, what is it?"

After hearing this, Chen Rong's eyes flashed with surprise. She then turned to look at Ji Nuan and asked curiously, "Sister Nuannuan? Is what she said true? Do you really have peerless magic skills?"

Ji Nuan said nonsense without blinking, "It's true. How dare you go alone to save your father and elder brother without some magical skills?"

Chen Rong's face was filled with admiration: "Ah, I thought you only knew those hard skills! Sister Nuannuan, when will you take us to see your peerless magic skills?"

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance." Ji Nuan urged her to quickly flip the page, "Hurry and see if you are on it."
