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

The red quilt rolls in the waves, and it is a beautiful night.

The man who promised to be sensible coaxed and deceived her, and finally did not give up until the second half of the night.

The next morning, Song Jinbai gently removed the hair that had tangled around the face of the person in his arms. The person, who had been leaning against his chest, turned to face him. Her sleeping face was faintly flushed, like peach blossoms in the early morning light. Her eyelashes drooped, like a pair of beautiful albizzia flowers. The nightgown she had just changed into was a little untidy, and a little white bunny seemed about to jump out.

Song Jinbai felt a little dry in the mouth, and it seemed that he could no longer suppress his morning anger.

Fortunately, it’s still early, so it seems there’s still time to indulge a little.

Song Jinbai pulled the belt neatly, and his big hands moved along Ji Nuan's smooth skin, and his breathing became heavier.

Ji Nuan felt like someone was kneading her in her sleep. She opened her eyes unhappily and met a pair of black eyes filled with lust.

She twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly.

What a beast! Who can stand such arrogance?

Ji Nuan decided that she would not use Shengji water to brew tea for Song Jinbai recently, otherwise she would be torn apart sooner or later.

She turned her head to avoid Song Jinbai's chasing lips and reminded him, "Today is the day to return home. Did you forget to sleep?"

Song Jinbai lowered his voice and whispered in Ji Nuan's ear: "I haven't forgotten. I will try to be faster and not be late for returning home." As he spoke, he held Ji Nuan's hand and stretched it towards himself.

He always found a way to make Ji Nuan compromise, and once she compromised, it would no longer be possible for her to stop.

Shen Songhe asked Mother Wu to load all the gifts for the return visit onto the carriage. However, the departure time had long passed, and there was still no sign of Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan. Shen Songhe even wondered if they had forgotten about the return visit today.

She then walked to Izumo-in where the two lived, and saw that they had just gotten up and washed.

Considering that they were newlyweds, Shen Songhe did not want to blame them too much. She just ordered the servants to prepare breakfast for them quickly, while she waited at the tea table outside.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

After keeping her elders waiting for two consecutive days because she got up late, Ji Nuan packed up and appeared in front of Shen Songhe with a bit of embarrassment.

Shen Songhe looked at Ji Nuan's rosy and shy little face, and happily pulled her to sit down.

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law have such a harmonious relationship, she feels very happy. She thinks that the day when she will hold her grandson in her arms is not far away.

"It's okay for me to wait a little longer, but when the time came and I didn't see you guys leaving, I thought you forgot you were supposed to go home today, so I came over to check on you."

Ji Nuan stared with her peach blossom eyes and silently accused: Is this what you meant by not wasting time?

Song Jinbai accepted it with good temper and gave her a flattering smile.

"Mom, don't blame Nuan'er. It was because I stayed in the study too late to handle business after I came back yesterday. I couldn't get up this morning, so I asked Nuan'er to sleep a little longer." Song Jinbai explained.

Ji Nuan secretly rolled her eyes.

What he said sounded like the truth. If she didn't know the real reason, she would have almost believed him.

Shen Songhe was a shrewd person, and she naturally understood her son. In the past, even if he worked late, he would still get up early the next day to attend court. But she didn't point it out. When the maid came in with the lunch box, she told them to eat quickly and go to Taohua Village.

Ji Nuan was worried that her parents at home would be waiting anxiously, so she told the maid not to set the table. She took the food box and said she wanted to eat in the carriage.

Song Jinbai agreed. He took the lunch box and carried it himself. He held Ji Nuan's hand with his other hand and said goodbye to Shen Songhe: "Mom, we are leaving."

Ji Nuan waved her hand, but before leaving, she still announced, "Mom, we'll be back later this afternoon. A few stewards have come all the way from Shuangxi County to congratulate you, and they'll be leaving tomorrow. Jin Bai and I will go meet them first, and then come back to have dinner with you."

Shen Songhe smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, I understand, you guys go quickly. Jin Bai, take good care of Nuannuan on the way."

Song Jinbai nodded solemnly: "Even if mother doesn't tell me, I will take good care of Nuan'er."

Butler Wu prepared three carriages outside the door. Except for one for Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan, the other two carriages were loaded with various gifts. Even Xue Qing, Xue Bi and Song Huai could only sit next to the coachman.

After the two finished their breakfast in the carriage, Song Jinbai took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the oil stains from the corners of Ji Nuan's mouth. The carriage also arrived at Taohua Village.

Liu Quan, the youngest son of housekeeper Liu, had been waiting at the village entrance. When he saw the Song family's carriage approaching from afar, he ran home in a hurry to report the news in advance.

When the carriage stopped at the door of the Ji family, everyone in the family, young and old, came out to greet them.

Song Jinbai was the first to lift the curtain and get off the carriage. Ji Nuan followed closely behind him. When she saw her family welcoming her at the door, she jumped off the carriage happily.

Song Jinbai watched Ji Nuan jump out of the carriage with a nimble figure, his eyes flashing.

He silently retracted his half-stretched hand and thought to himself: Nuan'er was complaining of being tired when she got up early, but her legs and feet were so light. It seems that I am not working hard enough.

"Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, why are you all waiting here? Come in quickly."

Ji Nuan was very happy to see her relatives, but at the same time she felt very sorry for the elders who greeted her at the door.

Song Jinbai was not as casual as her. He bowed to all the elders before following Ji Nuan into the house, being warmly embraced by everyone.

Ji Chuan took Song Jinbai and his nephews to the front hall. Their conversation ranged from this year's harvest, taxes, and winter wheat planting to next year's crop planting plan. Eventually, the topic turned to the soap workshop, and somehow Ji Chuan led everyone to visit the workshop.

On the other side, Ji Nuan supported her second sister-in-law and entered the flower hall with several female elders.

After sitting down, my aunt couldn't help but ask first: "Nuan, are you used to being in the Song family? Is your niece-in-law treating you well? How are you getting along with your mother-in-law? Has anyone given you any trouble?"

Looking at the concerned faces of her relatives, Ji Nuan smiled coquettishly and said, "Auntie, you asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first? Oh, oh, oh, I'm good at all of them. No one dares to embarrass me, and the Song family is also very good to me."

Seeing that her daughter looked good, Ji's mother felt relieved and said with a smile, "Jin Bai is a careful child. He is very busy with official duties. You should pay more attention to him."

At this moment, the eldest aunt, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but come out to make her presence felt. She raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Yes, our Ji family can't compare to the Song family, which is a wealthy family. You have finally climbed up the social ladder and entered that wealthy family. You must do your best to please your parents-in-law and serve your husband well."

"Also, wealthy families like to have three wives and four concubines, so you have to be careful. You have to keep a close eye on your man and don't give him the chance to get close to those seductive vixens." There was a bit of contradiction in the aunt's words, which contained a warning and also an element of watching the show.
