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

Ji Nuan had heard some things about Marquis Xuanwei and her mother-in-law from Song Jinbai.

Ever since Shen Songhe moved out of the Marquis's residence, she hadn't returned in over a decade. She studiously avoided any occasion where Marquis Xuanwei was present, even at a palace banquet, treating him like a stranger. Even when Song Jinbai got married, Shen Songhe didn't inform him, demonstrating how deeply he had hurt both mother and son.

Ji Nuan hugged Shen Songhe's arm and nuzzled it affectionately, saying, "Mom, I support you in pursuing your own freedom. Don't be bound by the identity of 'Song Shen' anymore."

A man who is not worth remembering can be kicked away.

Don't put yourself in a difficult position for others anymore.

Shen Songhe had actually figured it out long ago. The moment she moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, she had already let go of the past. She hadn't expected that the moment she brought up the topic, the two children would make the atmosphere so solemn.

She smiled and patted Ji Nuan's arm. "Oh! Mother knows what's going on. Okay, okay, having you is enough for me. I don't care about 'Song Shen' or 'Marquis'. I will just be Mrs. Shen from now on."

Ji Nuan is as warm as her name, and she wants to pamper those who are good to her.

"That's right, I can do whatever I want. I don't have to worry too much. There are many people rushing to support me. Even if I want to act sideways, no one dares to stop me."

Shen Songhe looked at Ji Nuan's smiling face and knew that her daughter-in-law was trying to make her happy.

"If you're walking sideways, what will I look like then? I think walking upright is more in line with my temperament, right?" Shen Songhe smiled and touched Ji Nuan's hair, his eyes full of pity.

Song Jinbai knew that Shen Songhe had already made up her mind to go back and divorce. He asked with concern, "Mother, we are in Kaiyun Mansion and cannot return to Beijing for the time being. After the divorce, do you plan to live in the old Xiaofeng Villa, return to the Shen family, or come here to live with us?"

"I have lived in Xiaofeng Villa for sixteen years. I take care of every flower and grass there with my own hands. I am more accustomed to living there." Shen Songhe swept away the slight melancholy in her heart and showed a real free and easy look on her face.

Compared to when she just left the Marquis' Mansion, she was helpless because she couldn't go back to her parents' home and didn't want to go back to her husband's home, which forced her to choose to live elsewhere. Now, she actively feels that living outside is more comfortable and pleasant.

Ji Nuan blinked, "Mom, aren't you planning on coming back to live with us? Are you really willing to leave your beloved daughter-in-law?"

Shen Songhe smiled and nodded at her, "How could mother bear to part with such a beautiful daughter-in-law? But your grandfather is old and his health is not as good as before. Mother is always worried when she is far away. When you have children, mother will come to take care of you."

Ji Nuan remembered the contraceptive pills she had secretly taken in the morning and touched her flat belly guiltily.

Song Jinbai saw all her little movements. He mistakenly thought that Ji Nuan also wanted to have their child soon, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.

In order to prevent Ji Nuan from feeling the pressure of being rushed into childbirth right after entering the house, he took over the conversation and said, "Mom, Nuan'er and I just got married, so we'll just let things take their own course. But we will try our best."

After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over Ji Nuan gently.

You can’t have a child right away, but the process of having a child can happen every day.

Looking at the two of them being so inseparable, Shen Songhe was not anxious at all. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not anxious. It's getting late, so you don't need to accompany me anymore. Go back and get some rest."

For Song Jinbai, who wanted to be intimate with his wife eight hundred times a day, the words "Go back and have a rest" were like the sound of nature.

He pulled Ji Nuan to stand up and said with a smile: "Then we won't disturb mother anymore, you should go to bed early too."

Song Jinbai took Ji Nuan's hand and they walked back to the yard slowly while digesting their food. As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't help but hold Ji Nuan's face and kissed her.

Seeing this, Xue Qing quickly lowered her eyes and stepped back.

I secretly complained: Adults are becoming more and more unrefined.

She closed the door silently and told the maid to boil some water.

When Ji Nuan woke up in the morning, her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, but Song Jinbai still looked as excited as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"Ma'am, drink more water so your voice can recover faster."

Song Jinbai brought the warm water and wanted to feed it to Ji Nuan himself. Ji Nuan didn't want to talk and rolled her eyes, but still opened her mouth and drank it obediently.

Anyone who is coaxed into calling "little brother" all night long will have a hoarse voice, okay?

"My husband was wrong. Nuan'er, can you forgive me?" Song Jinbai hugged Ji Nuan and coaxed her softly.

As Ji Nuan snorted in dissatisfaction, the sound of Sprite saluting was heard outside the door.

"Miss Cousin."

"I came to find my cousin's wife to go to the teahouse to listen to a story."

Following the sound, Shen Muge had already stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

Ji Nuan hurriedly stood up and sat down. Song Jinbai suddenly lost his sweet and gentle wife in his arms. His originally wonderful mood plummeted instantly. He walked towards Shen Muge with a dark face and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to play with my cousin's wife." Shen Muge said as a matter of course, and pouted again, "Why is my cousin looking at me like that? He looks like he doesn't welcome me."

"You have some self-awareness. Your cousin's wife is a married woman now. She is busy accompanying me, her husband, and has no time to run around with you." Song Jinbai glanced at her and held Ji Nuan's hand on the table.

The meaning is very clear: we are husband and wife, so if you know what's good for you, just stay away.

But Shen Muge was the one who liked to follow Song Jinbai the most among all the younger generations, so she was so ignorant as to stay and even poured herself a cup of tea.

"Cousin, my father is meeting a young man dressed as a scholar in the front hall and asked me to notify you to go and meet him as well." Shen Muge slowly stated his other purpose.

Ji Nuan guessed that it must be Fu Jiangzhou, so she pushed Song Jinbai and said, "My uncle wants to talk to you, you go first."

Song Jinbai knew he couldn't refuse, and he guessed the person coming was most likely Fu Jiangzhou. After all, Ji Nuan had previously mentioned Fu Jiangzhou's talent to his uncle, and he had even helped introduce him. On the way back to the courtyard yesterday, Ji Nuan had told him about asking Ji Chuan to inform Fu Jiangzhou.

"I'll be back soon, wait for me." He squeezed Ji Nuan's palm reluctantly, and before leaving, he didn't forget to warn Shen Muge: "Don't try to take your cousin's wife out to play, or I'll marry you to an ugly bastard!"

Shen Muge was so angry that she made faces at Song Jinbai's back.

"My cousin is too much. He monopolizes you all the time. I have to find an opportunity to come and see you." She pouted and complained to Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan joked about himself generously, "I've been single for so long, and now I finally get married. Can't I let him cherish her for a few days?"

"Hahaha, cousin, how can you say that? Oh, why does it sound like you are pampering my cousin?" Shen Muge laughed so hard that he fell over.

Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows proudly, "I chose him after all, what's wrong with me pampering him?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, at home I have to watch my brother and sister-in-law flirting with each other, and now I come here and have to watch you two being affectionate. I really can't stand it, I can't stand it." Shen Muge rubbed his arms exaggeratedly.
