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

The managers and shopkeepers were already very respectful to Ji Nuan. When they saw the man with outstanding temperament beside her, they guessed that he should be the boss's son-in-law who was an official in the court, and their attitude became even more respectful than before.

Ji Nuan asked them about their responsibilities one by one, said a few words of encouragement to each of them, and finally distributed the prepared return gifts to everyone before returning to the Song residence with Song Jinbai.

Dinner was served in Shen Songhe's yard. Everyone else was eating in their own yard. Only Song Jinbai and his wife, Shen Songhe and the other two sat together at the table.

Shen Songhe had dined with Ji Nuan several times before and had a general understanding of her food preferences. Therefore, out of the eight dishes on the table, six were Ji Nuan's favorites.

Song Jinbai originally wanted to pick up some food for Ji Nuan, but he found that he couldn't compete with his mother.

Shen Songhe put some of each dish in Ji Nuan's bowl, and also picked up a small piece of tofu, which she had never seen her eat before, and said, "Nuannuan, try this. I haven't seen you eat it before, and I don't know if you like it. Try it first. If you don't like it, tell the kitchen not to make this dish in the future."

"No, Mom. The kitchen is responsible for feeding so many people. They can't just follow my preferences."

"Mom, I'm really not picky about food. It's just that tofu tastes lighter, so I'm less likely to order it compared to other dishes." Ji Nuan explained.

In order to prove that she was not picky about food, Ji Nuan quickly picked up the tofu in the bowl and took a bite, and then her eyes lit up.

"Mom, this is stuffed tofu, and there's stuffing inside! I really can't tell, how did you do that?" Ji Nuan exclaimed.

"Isn't it delicious? Eat more." Shen Songhe put another piece of food into her bowl and said, "This is made by the imperial chef sent by the Empress. His skills are very exquisite. The dish he made is both delicious and beautiful."

"Your Majesty is so caring towards us. Mother, I also want to prepare a gift for you. Please bring it to my uncle and his family when they return to Beijing."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept talking back and forth, and Song Jinbai had no chance to get a word in, feeling very upset.

This daughter-in-law looks just like the one he married for his mother.

After the meal, Biliu led people to clear the dishes on the table and brought up a new pot of scented tea.

Shen Songhe held Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai's hands, her eyes filled with tenderness and relief: "Seeing that you are now married, one of my wishes has been fulfilled."

She turned to Song Jinbai and said earnestly, "Jinbai, as a husband, you must love and protect your wife wholeheartedly. Even if our relationship may become dull in the future, you must never do anything to hurt her."

"In addition to the love and affection in a couple's life, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. Jin Bai is sometimes negligent, and Nuan Nuan must learn to remind him in time and tolerate him."

"I can see that you two have a very good relationship now. I hope you can stay like this and spend your lives together."

Song Jinbai immediately realized Shen Songhe's plan, and his expression became solemn: "Mom, are you planning to return to Beijing? Well, now that your son has Nuan'er by his side, you don't have to worry about me anymore. You can let go and do what you want."

"It's been so many years. Apart from the missing paperwork, you're no different from a divorce."

"Don't worry about the Shen family. Grandfather and uncle don't care about these things. The daughters of the Shen family have never had trouble finding a husband."
