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

Chapter 233: It won’t be possessed by someone, right?

This feeling of being ignored and hated plunged Xiao Shuyue into a deep abyss of self-doubt. She began to question whether she was really her father's biological daughter. During her days of self-loathing, she met the young man Song Jinbai. The boy told her, "You are very good. Those who don't like you don't understand your goodness."

The appearance of Song Jinbai was like a ray of sunshine that penetrated the haze, making her stop insisting on pleasing Prince Yu.

Later, when Xiao Shuyue heard about what happened in Xuanwei Hou Mansion, she felt that she and Song Jinbai had the same fate, both were children without fatherly love, and then her eyes followed him uncontrollably.

Xiao Shuyue's thoughts were brought back to reality by Xiao Jitang's voice, and she realized that the other party was calling her.

"Shu Yue, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times, but you didn't respond." Xiao Jitang asked with concern.

Xiao Shuyue did not mention what she had just thought of Song Jinbai, but instead talked about their past.

"I remember a time when I was little, when my father also confined me to my house and I couldn't go out. You sneaked out of the palace every day to see me and brought me all kinds of delicious food."

"You still remember?" Xiao Jitang smiled slightly, as if he was also touched by the memory. "Why were you so stubborn back then? You insisted that the emperor's uncle read your large calligraphy, and ended up making him angry, so you were grounded."

A look of loss crossed Xiao Shuyue's face. She whispered, "Yes, I'm his only daughter. It's fine if he doesn't ask for the title of Princess for me, but why does he always hate me so much? I really don't understand."

A man and two women gathered in front of an ordinary mask stall on Suzaku Street. The man was tall and straight, his white robe as white as snow, making him look even more handsome and extraordinary. The women each had their own unique charm: one was delicate and lively, the other was gentle and graceful.

Shen Muge put a cat-shaped mask on her face, then tilted her head playfully and smiled at Pei Jingrang beside her: "Brother Pei San, what do you think of this mask? Why don't we all wear the same one? There are exactly three of us!" As she spoke, she shook the other two cat masks in her hands.

Pei Jingrang initially thought this was a bit childish, but when he stole a glance at Jiang Yu, he noticed a hint of fondness in her eyes. He smiled, took the two cat masks, and handed one to Jiang Yu. He gently asked, "Yu, do you need my help?"

"Brother Pei, I can wear it myself."

Jiang Yu gently avoided his gaze, a blush on her face, and quickly put on the mask. Then she turned around, took Shen Muge's hand, and said with a smile: "Muge, there is a small wonton stall in front, let's go and try it."

"Okay!" Shen Muge agreed happily, and at the same time did not forget to call Pei Jingrang to follow.

The wonton stall that Jiang Yu mentioned was just diagonally opposite Xiao Ji's cousin's teahouse.

The three of them each ordered a bowl of wontons and sat around to enjoy them.

While eating, Shen Muge asked Pei Jingrang, "Third Brother Pei, you've been to Kaiyun Mansion. Have you ever met my cousin's wife? Can you tell me about her? Next month, my mother and I will go to Kaiyun Mansion in advance to help my aunt prepare for my cousin's wedding. I want to prepare a gift for my cousin's wife who hasn't married yet."

Pei Jingrang: "Miss Ji is a free-spirited person. She will like everything Sister Muge is thinking of."

Shen Muge was filled with endless curiosity and imagination about Ji Nuan, the woman who had even made her cousin, who had always been averse to women, actively propose to her. Although her father had mentioned that Ji Nuan was no ordinary peasant girl after returning from the marriage proposal, this only piqued her curiosity even more.

"My cousin is usually very dull and boring. Brother Pei San, can you tell me how he managed to seduce my cousin's wife and made her agree to marry him?" Shen Muge blinked her big eyes with curiosity and asked Pei Jingrang for details.

"Is this something a sister can say?" Pei Jingrang glanced at Shen Muge lightly, and seeing that Jiang Yu also had an expression of waiting to eat the melon, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He cleared his throat and decided to betray his good brother: "Well, since you all want to know so much, then I will tell you reluctantly. At that time, Jin Bai went to Kaiyun Mansion to take up a post, but he was assassinated and in critical condition. He almost lost his life. It was Miss Ji who rescued him and he was able to escape danger. Miss Ji wanted to keep him and marry her as a repayment for her kindness, but Jin Bai refused. But after returning, I don't know what was wrong with him. He found excuses to meet her again and again. One was 'lusting at her beauty', and the other was 'persistent'. Look, the two of them became a couple."

At this point, Pei Jingrang added, "Oh, by the way, it was Song Huai who told me later that Miss Ji had started to have feelings for Jin Bai. As for whether the news was true or not, haha, I don't know. Anyway, not long after, they became a couple, so the matter is set in stone."

After listening to Pei Jingrang's story, Shen Muge's eyes widened in disbelief and he exclaimed in amazement, "Is this really my cousin? He's the one he's been pestering me about? Could he have been possessed by someone else?"

Pei Jingrang couldn't help but laugh: "Don't doubt it, that's him. When you go to Kaiyun Mansion and see him in person, you'll know how different he is now. Love can sometimes completely transform a person."

The three continued to talk and laugh, unaware that danger was approaching them quietly.

Ji Nuan was planning to go shopping in Beijing and bring gifts for her family when she heard rapid footsteps running behind her, followed by a woman's scream: "Catch the thief! Someone stole my purse!"

Ji Nuan immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure quickly fleeing the scene, clutching a bulging purse tightly in his hand. Her heart trembled, and she immediately realized what had happened.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Nuan immediately ran after him. Her nimble figure and swift steps quickly closed the distance between her and the thief.

The little thief was obviously a habitual criminal. Although he was small in stature, he ran very fast. It was obvious that he had been working in this business for many years, and his leg speed had been trained very well.

Ji Nuan quickly shortened the distance to two steps without using her special powers. The little thief felt the threat approaching from behind and couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

In order to escape Ji Nuan's pursuit, the thief started to use all means. He suddenly overturned the ramen that had just been served on the chopping board of the nearby stall, and the steaming noodles and soup splashed everywhere, causing screams from those around him.

Ji Nuan nimbly dodged the splashing noodles and soup and continued to chase the thief.

The thief was extremely anxious, seeing that he couldn't escape Ji Nuan's relentless pursuit. In his panic, he caught a glimpse of the three-tiered lighting stand erected high on the street, and a plan immediately came to his mind.
