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

As the two were about to walk out of the forest, Song Jinbai quickly walked towards the horse he had left behind and skillfully untied the reins, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He looked up at Ji Nuan and said apologetically, "Miss Ji, I'm sorry for not thinking it through. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to ride with me."

He admitted that the reason he came to Taohua Creek was not only to escape from the busyness for a while, but he also secretly hoped to meet Ji Nuan here. However, the embarrassing situation at this moment was somewhat unexpected for him.

Ji Nuan said casually: "Let's go, we're just riding on the same horse." Since he couldn't use his supernatural powers, did he have to walk to the city on foot?

Ji Nuan didn't hesitate at all and was the first to climb onto the horse with smooth movements.

She sat on the horse, looked at Song Jinbai, and gently patted the seat behind her, signaling him to get on quickly.

Seeing this, Song Jinbai gritted his teeth secretly. How could he, a man of seven feet tall, lose to a woman in this regard? So, he stopped hesitating, took a deep breath, and jumped onto the horse's back with a strong step, sitting steadily behind Ji Nuan.

The two of them rode at full speed and soon arrived at the Song residence.

Inside the gate, a servant was sweeping the bluestone floor with his head down when he suddenly saw his master returning with a young girl. His eyes widened in surprise. As he reacted, he dropped his broom and hurried to find the housekeeper.

Song Jinbai had no time to care about the servant's surprise. He led Ji Nuan straight to Song Huai's room.

As I pushed open the door, a faint medicinal scent filled my nostrils. The room was simply furnished. Lying on a large wooden bed lay a young man in his early twenties. He had a handsome face and seemed to be in a deep sleep, his breathing steady and even.

Ji Nuan sat beside the bed and carefully felt Song Huai's pulse. At the same time, she cleverly used the pulse-feeding action to secretly use her special powers to conduct a detailed examination of Song Huai's entire body.

After a moment, she stood up and said solemnly, "The trauma has been properly treated. The real reason for his unconsciousness was probably the intracranial hemorrhage caused by the impact on the back of his head. The blood clot compressed the nerves, which is why he can't wake up."

Song Jinbai's heart tightened when he heard this. The doctors he had seen had made the same diagnosis, and none of them could help.

Is there no other solution?

Song Jinbai asked: "Miss Ji, do you have any treatment methods?" Ji Nuan is not an ordinary doctor, and she may have a method that others can't think of.

Ji Nuan nodded. "Intracranial hemorrhage is a complicated condition, but it's not completely untreatable."

"Miss Ji, do you really have a way to cure Song Huai?" Song Jinbai's voice was filled with a hint of surprise. He quickly said, "That's great, Miss Ji! Just tell me what you need to prepare, and I'll have someone prepare it right away."

It was indeed a surprise. He had asked Ji Nuan to come and see him for treatment on the pretext of allowing him to break into Taohua Creek. Unexpectedly, she really had a way to cure Song Huai.

"You just need to have someone help him sit up." Ji Nuan said.

Song Jinbai was about to go out and call for help when he heard Song Shan standing at the door and announcing, "Sir, Steward Wu is here."

Song Jinbai immediately ordered: "Let him wait outside the door for a while, you come in first."

Outside, Steward Wu, having hurried in at the doorman's call, learned that his master had brought home a young lady, and he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted for his wife. His master was already past twenty, yet he didn't even have a young maid in the mansion. Now that he had finally figured out how to bring a girl home, Steward Wu naturally looked forward to seeing what was going on.

He happily rushed to the kitchen and specially prepared a few dishes that the little girl might like. Then he rushed to the master's residence, but he could not find any trace of the master and the girl. After some inquiries, he learned that the master had taken the little girl to Song Huai's residence. He really didn't know what the master was thinking.

Song Shan sat across from Song Huai, carefully helping him sit up, while Song Jinbai leaned over the bedside, supporting Song Huai's head. Ji Nuan sat behind Song Huai, and the three of them huddled closely around him, making the space seem particularly cramped.

Song Jinbai's eyes flickered when he saw Ji Nuan pull out a roll of silver needles from her sleeve, followed by a wet handkerchief. Just now, when they were riding the same horse, he hadn't noticed anything hidden in her sleeve.

Ji Nuan carefully wiped the silver needles with vitality water, then slowly inserted them into Song Huai's skull, following the acupuncture points one by one. Using her special abilities, she quietly absorbed the blood clots within the brain with each subtle touch of the needles. To avoid attracting attention, she decided to perform the treatment in multiple sessions, gradually increasing the duration to avoid any signs of abnormality from a single cure.

After removing the silver needle, Ji Nuan took out a wet handkerchief again and wiped her hands carefully.

Seeing this, Song Shan quickly settled Song Huai down and asked anxiously, "Is this done?"

He was filled with gratitude. His Excellency had personally invited his lifesaver to treat Song Huai. His heart was filled with gratitude for his care for them. But Miss Ji was so young. Could her medical skills really surpass those of the experienced old doctors?

"It also needs to be supplemented with decoctions to help disperse the blood stasis." Ji Nuan said as he walked to the table and started writing a prescription.

"Prepare three doses of medicine according to this prescription." Ji Nuan handed the prescription to Song Jinbai and instructed.

Song Jinbai took the prescription and scanned the elegant handwriting on the paper, his heart stirring. The handwriting was neat and powerful, clearly not something that could be achieved overnight. He thought to himself that anyone who could write such fine words must be exceptionally learned and cultivated. This completely contradicted Ji Nuan's identity as a peasant girl. Who was she?

Song Jinbai handed the prescription to Song Shan. After taking the prescription, Song Shan turned around and left in a hurry.

"The blood clots in the brain need to be completely removed through two acupuncture treatments." Ji Nuan explained to Song Jinbai when she saw Song Shan leave.

Ji Nuan took out a small porcelain bottle filled with vitality water from her sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

"Every time before feeding Song Huai medicine, drop two drops of medicine from the porcelain bottle into the medicine bowl. It can promote better absorption of the medicine." She reminded carefully.

Seeing this, Song Jinbai was convinced that Ji Nuan had a secret hidden in her sleeve.

He didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Miss Ji! Your attentiveness and medical skills are truly admirable."

Song Jinbai smiled and invited, "I'll have someone prepare the food. Miss Ji, would you like to join us?"

"Okay, I'm just hungry." Ji Nuan smiled generously without any shyness.

"Uncle Wu, go and prepare a table of dishes." Song Jinbai instructed the housekeeper outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Butler Wu was secretly delighted. The master even knew to invite the girl to have dinner with him. It must be time for her to grow up and get married!

He quickly responded, "Sir, it has been arranged. How about having lunch in the West Flower Hall?" At the same time, he took the opportunity to secretly look at Ji Nuan, secretly admiring in his heart: This girl is really outstanding in appearance, and her temperament is no worse than those ladies from wealthy families in the capital. No wonder she can be treated so well by her master.

Song Jinbai noticed the gaze of Butler Wu, chuckled, and then said seriously: "It's in the West Flower Hall, Uncle Wu, go and prepare it." After that, he waved his hand gently, signaling Butler Wu to leave.

After Butler Wu left, Ji Nuan raised one eyebrow, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Song Jinbai: "Sir?"

Song Jinbai coughed lightly and explained a little embarrassedly: "Well, I am the newly appointed prefect of Kaiyun Prefecture." He didn't intend to hide it, but she didn't ask, and he didn't say it.

A smile flashed across Ji Nuanwen's eyes, and she deliberately repeated, "Oh, it's Master Song!" Then, she changed the subject, her tone a little playful, "So, Master Song, when would it be convenient for you to pay me the two taels of silver for the consultation?"

Song Jinbai looked at her playful appearance, and a doting look in his eyes revealed that he himself had not noticed.

He didn't want to settle this favor with two taels of silver, so he smiled and changed the subject, inviting: "Butler Wu has prepared a meal for us. How about we move to the West Flower Hall and eat while we chat?"
