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

As soon as Ji Nuan and Xi Que entered the city, they happened to meet the two guards sent by Jun Xianlan to look for her. So, they went to Jun Xianlan's residence first.

Seeing Jun Xianlan still as charming as ever, with a charming smile on her exquisite face, Ji Nuan couldn't help but smile.

She asked, "Why is Mr. Jun looking for me so urgently?"

Jun Xianlan was eager to know the news about the black-bone grass and blue flower, and couldn't help but send someone to invite Ji Nuan. For a moment, she didn't take into account that she had just returned and might need a rest.

He smiled that enchanting smile and said, "I heard from Doctor Chen that you were back, and I'm anxious to know if there's any news on those herbs. I've also prepared the rest of the thank-you gifts, so I'll give them to you all at once."

This person has very little taste. Why does he smile so beautifully?

Ji Nuan responded with a hint of revengeful ridicule, "Oh? What thank-you gift? Can anything be as pleasing to the eye as Master Jun?"

Jun Xianlan blushed and said softly, "That depends on what Miss Ji thinks."

There were many women who were attracted to his face, and countless women who were attracted to his family's wealth, but no one had ever dared to tease him as blatantly as Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan: Tsk, you’re blushing already, quite innocent.

At this time, Mo Cong respectfully handed over a stack of deeds.

Ji Nuan reached out to take it, and after a careful look, she discovered that it was actually the deeds to the shops along half of East Street and the employment letters of the shopkeepers and their clerks, as well as the employment letters of the shopkeeper of Fusheng Building and a group of his clerks.

"How is it?" Jun Xianlan asked with a smile. He believed that Ji Nuan would be satisfied.

Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows, raised the deed paper in her hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It is indeed more pleasing to the eye than you."

Jun Xianlan: “…”

Jun Xianlan was speechless for a moment and could only smile helplessly.

"Okay, I'll accept the thank you gift and won't tease you anymore." Ji Nuan straightened her expression and said seriously, "I've found the herbs and am ready to start preparing the antidote."

Jun Xianlan's eyes lit up with joy, "Looks like I'm lucky."

Ji Nuan nodded in agreement, "You are indeed lucky to have met me."

Jun Xianlan bowed and said, "Then I will wait here for good news from the young lady."

"Doctor Chen's medical skills are indeed impeccable. It seems that you have been in good health recently. Take good care of yourself. The antidote can only be taken when you are in the best physical condition." After saying this, Ji Nuan stood up and said goodbye. "I will come to see you again in a few days when the antidote is ready. Now, I'm leaving first."

Ji Nuan stretched out two fingers and made a walking gesture, indicating that she was about to leave.

Jun Xianlan personally sent Ji Nuan out the door and watched her figure gradually walk away until she completely disappeared from his sight. Only then did he turn around and go back into the house with a smile.

Chen Mansion.

Chen Yu was concentrating on practicing boxing with the newly invited martial arts master. His clothes were soaked with sweat, but the enthusiasm in his eyes could not be concealed.

The doorman came running over, breathlessly saying, "Master, there's a girl named Ji who wants to see you. She's in the front hall now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's brows immediately lit up with joy. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Master Wu, and almost ran and jumped straight to the reception room.

Before Chen Yuren even stepped into the living room, a clear voice of complaint was heard. "Nuannuan, when did you come back? I ran all the way to Taohua Village to look for you, but I came up empty-handed. Why didn't you even say hello to me before you left?"

Ji Nuan smiled and explained, "I was in a hurry to leave this time and didn't have time to tell you. I just got home yesterday, and I came to see you today without stopping. Is that thoughtful of you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's expression suddenly brightened. "You still have some conscience," he said, changing the subject with a hint of curiosity and teasing. "Tell me, there's no such thing as a visit without a reason. You've come to me on your own initiative this time, so you must have something to bother me with, right?"

Facing Chen Yu, Ji Nuan bluntly stated her needs: "I have a lot of things to do at home, and I'm planning to hire a few more people to help. Do you know any trustworthy brokers?"

After hearing this, Chen Yu smiled confidently and said, "It's right to come to me for this matter. I happen to know a broker. I'll take you to him later."

Ji Nuan then thought of another thing, "This is my first time visiting your house, so I should go and pay my respects to your parents first. Do you think I should go and pay my respects first?" After all, the Chen family is a wealthy family. She was not sure whether Chen Yu's parents would like to see her, or whether they would simply disdain to see her. She decided to listen to what Chen Yu said.

"Afu, go and invite the lady over." Chen Yu ordered the followers behind him with a casual tone.

He turned to look at Ji Nuan, smiling broadly, and said, "My father has gone out with the caravan and hasn't returned yet. My mother is embroidering with my sister in the backyard. Ah Fu can go and invite her over. We can chat here first, and you can greet her when she arrives."

Ji Nuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

As a junior, she should have taken the initiative to greet Madam Chen. How could she let Madam Chen come all the way to see her? Wasn't that disrespectful?

I wonder what Mrs. Chen would think if she knew her son had made such arrangements.

Ji Nuan looked at Chen Yu's slightly disheveled appearance, his clothes soaked with sweat, and couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you, what were you busy with before I came here? Why are you sweating all over?"

Chen Yu chuckled, his eyes gleaming with pride. "I just found a really great martial arts master and am learning boxing from him! His skills are simply amazing!"

When Ji Nuan heard this, she had an idea. She also wanted to hire a martial arts master for Jin Douer and the others. Not only could they learn to fly over eaves and walls, but it would also be good for them to strengthen their bodies.

"Oh? Really? Then how powerful is he? Does he know any other martial arts masters you can introduce to him?"

Chen Yu immediately became interested. "You're asking this? How about I ask someone to call him over so you can talk to him face to face? We can even have a competition."

Ji Nuan nodded, "Okay, I just happen to have something to ask him."

Chen Yu asked the maid serving beside him to invite someone.

Master Wu lived in the front yard and arrived soon.

As soon as he saw Master Wu enter the living room, Chen Yu immediately suggested enthusiastically: "Master Xi, Nuannuan is also a master. When you two masters meet, shouldn't you first spar with each other and see who is better?" He completely forgot that Ji Nuan had said before that she had something to ask Master Wu.

After hearing this, Master Xi's eyes fell on Ji Nuan. Seeing that she was slender and her waist was not as thick as his arm, he couldn't help but hesitate: "It would be bad if a little girl was accidentally injured by me to compete with me."

Ji Nuan put on a confident smile and said, "Master Xi, don't worry. I believe my kung fu is pretty good. Even if I get hurt, I won't blame you." Since she was pushed out by Chen Yu to compete, she naturally didn't want to be looked down upon.

Xi Que, who was standing by, was terrified. She only knew that Ji Nuan was an excellent doctor, but she had never seen her use her skills. She was afraid that something might happen to her, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss..."

Ji Nuan, however, smiled and reassured her: "Don't worry, Xi Que, I'm fine."
