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

Finally, there was no sound outside and everything became completely quiet. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the child is well behaved and didn't cry." Grandma Ji said softly, with a hint of relief. Then she asked worriedly, "Xiaomei, what should we do now?"

The two did not dare to light the lamp, so they could only grope their way to the bed in the dark and sit down carefully.

Jin Xiaomei took the child from Grandma Ji, her eyes filled with heartache. "I'm afraid Aunt Weng is in great danger now because she tried to distract those people. This child has just been born and has suffered such a disaster. It's really pitiful. If Aunt Weng hasn't returned by dawn, we'll have to find a way to take the child away."

Grandma Ji was silent for a long time, her brows furrowed. "This is a child from a wealthy family. If we take him back home, how will we support him given our family's financial situation? Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and you know her temper. How can she tolerate raising another child in the family?"

"Mom," Jin Xiaomei felt pity for the ignorant little creature in her arms. "If his family doesn't show up before dawn, then I'll keep him with me for the time being. Xiaoshan and Xiaohe are both grown up, and Xiaochuan is two years old. With a few children helping to take care of him, life might be a little hard, but we'll be able to raise him eventually."

Time goes back to the present.

"Mother, that nanny never came back, right? How did you bring me home in the end?"

Ji Nuan was very curious about how her grandmother and her mother, two ordinary women, had managed to smuggle her out without anyone noticing.

Recalling her nervousness and anxiety at the time, Ji's mother slowly said, "We waited for a long time but Aunt Weng didn't come back. Luckily, when we went up the mountain, we put the offerings to the Buddha in a basket and brought it with us. When we came down, we put you in that basket and blended in with the crowd of people coming down the mountain. That's how we narrowly avoided those who were secretly looking for you."

Ji Nuan didn't like the stuffy atmosphere and playfully tried to cheer her mother up. "That's why my dad always praised me for being smart. It turns out I inherited my mom's cleverness! She risked her life to save me from the villain. No other mother would have such quick wit and courage."

Ji's mother was amused by her daughter and scolded her, "Why do you praise yourself every time you get the chance, kid?"

Ji Nuan laughed even more happily, and continued to ask, "Mom, please tell me quickly, my dad was so seriously ill at that time, how did he finally get better?"

Ji's mother said, "This is really strange. Your father took medicine for several days but didn't get better. That day, I put you down next to him and went out to get a bowl of rice soup. When I came back, I saw that he had woken up and was stretching out his hands to play with you. No wonder your grandmother loved you so much. Her son got better as soon as you came. That's why she always regarded you as the lucky star of the Ji family."

There were bursts of laughter coming from outside, and it sounded like Wang Yunshan and the others had arrived.

"Look, we've wasted quite a bit of time just talking. The girls who came to congratulate us have all arrived." Mother Ji also heard the noise outside. She fished out a warm, white jade amulet from her bosom. "I found this in the little quilt that wrapped you. It might be related to your life story. You're protected by the Song family now, so I'll give this amulet to you for safekeeping. Whether you want to find out about your life story or not is up to you."

"Mom..." Ji Nuan hugged her mother tightly, feeling extremely fortunate that her original self had met such good adoptive parents.

Ji's mother patted her back gently, pleased that her daughter was still so close to her after learning the truth. "Okay, Nuannuan, let Quanfuren and the dresser come in. If we delay any longer, the bride's reception will be here soon."

Ji Nuan let go of Ji Mu and let her call the dresser in.

She sat back down in front of the mirror, staring at herself in the mirror, imagining what her birth mother looked like.

Although Ji Nuan had never met her biological mother, she was still her closest blood relative. She had always upheld the principle of revenge and retribution, so even after so many years, it wasn't impossible to investigate.

The surname Weng is not a common surname, and there was also Nanny Weng who called her biological mother "Niangniang", which was a respectful title only for concubines in the harem or the mistress of the royal palace.

Ji Nuan looked at the jade token in her hand again. The front was engraved with delicate landscape patterns, while the back was an unknown flower with a small word "Xu" hidden underneath.

Perhaps with the help of the people Song Jinbai left in the capital, we can find out where the jade token came from as quickly as possible.

She put away the jade pendant and helped the dresser put on her makeup.

The Song residence in the city.

Shen Muge knocked on the door and shouted, "Cousin, are you okay? How long will it take?"

There was no response from inside the room for a long time.

Pei Jingrang couldn't help but shout inside, "Jin Bai, why does it take so long to change into your wedding dress? If you keep dawdling, you'll miss the auspicious time for the wedding!"

Shen Chujing, who was standing behind the two of them, said with a smile, "He finally found someone he's willing to marry, so of course he wants to be in the best possible condition to welcome his bride. Don't rush him so much. When you get married, you'll understand how he feels."

At this moment, the door finally opened, and Song Jinbai, dressed in a red wedding gown embroidered with auspicious patterns, stood at the doorway, standing tall and straight like a pine tree. Beneath his handsome sword-like brows, his phoenix eyes were filled with joy.

"hiss……"

Lang Yan's unique appearance instantly shocked Shen Muge, Pei Jingrang and Shen Chu, and they all held their breath.

Shen Muge opened her mouth exaggeratedly and exclaimed: "Cousin, dressed like this to pick up cousin's wife, how many girls' hearts will he attract along the way?"

"Don't want too many hearts. Just your cousin's wife is enough." Song Jinbai curled the corners of his lips, and seemed to have a sense of pride when he said this.

He walked through several people and headed out of the courtyard first, saying as he walked, "Senior brother, cousin, let's go pick up the bride!"

He didn't care at all that Shen Muge and Shen Chu behind him looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost.

Shen Chu: ...Men who want to get married are indeed different.

Shen Muge looked incredulous: "Is this still my cousin who has a cold face when he sees a woman? Can such words come out of his mouth?"

Pei Jingrang acted as if he knew the situation best and interrupted, "You're surprised by something new! He was so shameless that he begged for your sister-in-law." After saying that, he followed.

The brother and sister in the back looked at each other again.

what's the situation?

At the gate of Song's house.

Song Huai, Song Bai, Song Zhu, and Song Yang, the four personal guards, dressed in brand new clothes, stood erect beside their steeds. Behind them was a large red wedding sedan carried by eight people, adorned with brightly colored feathers and tassels, making it look particularly beautiful and festive.

Further behind them was the honor guard and the music band composed of digital brothers. They all had red silk wrapped around their waists and looked very joyful.
