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

When Ji Nuan was about to get home, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and released the little white mink and the little tiger cub out of the space.

Although the tiger cub was only three months old, it was larger than an adult dog. Ji Nuan was worried that it would scare people, so she reminded him before entering the courtyard: "Ruyi, remember to be good and don't scare anyone."

"Awoo awoo..." Master, don't worry, I won't scare anyone.

Ji Nuan nodded at the little white mink lying on her shoulder and said, "Jixiang, be good too."

The little white mink opened its small round eyes and rubbed Ji Nuan's face obediently.

Ji Wei was sharp-eyed and spotted Ji Nuan who had just entered the courtyard. She shouted excitedly, "Sister Nuannuan, you're back! Hey, is that a white cat lying on your shoulder?" Before she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to put down the pestle in her hand and reached out to touch the little white mink.

Ji Nuan smiled and handed the little white mink to Ji Wei's arms. She patted its head soothingly and corrected it, "This is a white mink. It's a friend I met when I was picking herbs in the mountains. Its name is Jixiang."

"Wow, its fur feels so comfortable!" Ji Wei couldn't help stroking the soft fur of the little white mink.

At this time, Yin Douer ran out of the kitchen and saw Ji Nuan coming back with a tiger cub. She rushed over happily.

"Dudu is back! Dudu is back! Wow, a big flower dog!"

Ji Wei and the people who were helping to grind the herbs only then noticed that there was a little tiger cub quietly following Ji Nuan.

"Ah! It's a tiger!" someone exclaimed, with fear in his voice.

"That's right, Ji Nuan actually brought the tiger back."

Everyone stepped back, keeping a safe distance and not daring to move rashly.

Ji Nuan quickly reassured everyone, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I found this little tiger cub in the mountains and have been raising it ever since." She knelt down and petted the cub. "Its name is Ruyi. It's very human. Look how gentle it is. It won't hurt anyone."

Yindou'er was innocent and fearless. He happily cradled the cub's head, calling out, "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger!" His tender voice was filled with fondness for the little tiger. While Ji Nuan was talking to everyone, he boldly leaned forward and gave the cub a resounding kiss, drawing a gasp from everyone.

The sister-in-law, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard someone shouting that there was a tiger in the yard. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw this scene and was so scared that the spatula in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Oh my god!" The eldest sister-in-law's cry was trembling with fear, her eyes wide with fear, as if she was about to burst into tears. She tried to sound calm and coaxed Yindou'er, "Yindou'er, be good, come back soon, come to your mother." But she could not take her eyes off the seemingly docile but actually ferocious tiger cub.

"Sister-in-law, Yindou'er is fine. The little tiger cub is raised by me. It won't hurt anyone and is very well behaved!" Ji Nuan performed the tiger-touching trick in front of her sister-in-law again.

No matter how well behaved it was, it was still a tiger, a beast that would eat people! She was still filled with fear and uneasiness, and never dared to get close.

Jin Dou'er, who had come out after the elder sister-in-law, ran over excitedly. He didn't share the elder sister-in-law's fear at all, but was instead filled with curiosity about the little tiger cub. He imitated Ji Nuan's example and carefully petted the little tiger cub. The little tiger cub closed its eyes, looking very happy.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gradually became braver.

They finally felt relieved when they saw that the little tiger cub was just as Ji Nuan said, not only did it not hurt anyone, but it also seemed so docile and cute.

At noon, the family sat together to discuss things.

Ji Nuan: "Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, I plan to go far away to collect herbs. I may need to stay away for a few days this time. You don't have to worry about me at home. I will take good care of myself."

Hearing Ji Nuan's words, Ji's father's face instantly turned worried. He tried to dissuade her, "My daughter, you've never left home since you were little. I'm really worried about you going so far away to collect herbs. Can't you just collect herbs in the mountains nearby?"

Ji Nuan understood her father's concerns, but she had her own considerations: "Dad, the herbs I'm looking for this time aren't found in the nearby mountains. Don't worry, I'm very skilled now. I can kick over several wild boars with one kick. I have no problem protecting myself."

Although Ji's mother was also worried, she also understood her daughter's personality and decision, so she proposed a compromise: "Nuannuan, your father and I are absolutely worried about you going alone. How about this, let your two brothers go with you, so they can help you share some of the burden if anything goes wrong."

Ji Nuan shook her head and smiled, "Mom, my eldest and second brothers have their own things to do. I grew up collecting herbs in the mountains. Believe me, I can handle anything."

"Sister, we can put everything on hold for now. There's no need to rush." Ji Shan said earnestly, "Although you're capable, even the most capable people can be careless sometimes. It's not like home out there. How can we let you go alone?"

He paused, his tone tinged with joking, but also with sincerity. "Besides, just assume we're here to broaden our horizons. You know, we haven't been far away much in our lives. Consider this an opportunity to gain experience."

"Yes, sister, I want to go too." Ji Shan said.

Ji Nuan was moved by the anticipation and concern in Ji Shan's eyes. The brothers rarely had the chance to go out, so this might be a rare opportunity for them to go out together and broaden their horizons.

Ji Nuan thought about it, a bright smile blooming on her face. She nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will go together. But we have to invite my third brother as well, otherwise if he finds out, he will blame me, his younger sister, for forgetting him."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing. Ji Shan patted Ji Nuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sister is really thoughtful. She can't leave the third child behind."

Father Ji felt a warm glow at the sight of his children enjoying themselves. He interjected, "The Feng Shui master said the day after tomorrow is a good day for moving. Why don't you just have the housewarming party at home before heading out? It won't delay you for a few days."

Ji Nuan looked up in surprise and said, "It's all set up so quickly! I was thinking about helping." She thought for a moment and continued, "Then we can leave in a few days. I have something to do these two days, so I can teach my brother and the others how to ride horses."

Ji Shan had never seen his sister learn to ride a horse before. He looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister, when did you learn to ride a horse?"

Ji Nuan realized she'd let something slip and quickly thought up a plausible excuse. She smiled and replied, "Do I really need to learn this? The last time I went to buy a horse, I saw the guy there riding quite skillfully, so I stood by and watched carefully. It didn't seem that difficult after all."

Is riding a horse really that easy? Everyone looked incredulous.

Father Ji looked at Ji Nuan with a worried look on his face. He said earnestly, "Nuan Nuan, riding a horse is no joke. You can get hurt if you're not careful. We should ask an equestrian instructor to teach you."

Ji Shan echoed his father's words, "Dad is right, sister. Do you think riding a horse is that easy? Just because you see others riding easily doesn't mean you can do it yourself. Riding a horse is a skill. You can't just learn by watching. You still need a professional to teach you."

Seeing that one by one they didn't believe that she could ride a horse, Ji Nuan didn't say much, and decided to let them see it with their own eyes and then they would believe it.

Ji Nuan: "Okay then. I'll go to the clinic this afternoon to deliver some medicine. I'll also tell Third Brother that his family is moving the day after tomorrow and ask him to ask the shopkeeper for more leave."
