At the gate of Zuixianglou, the city defense sergeant who had already received the order of Captain Zhou took out two war horses from the stable of Zuixianglou, which were the war horses ridden by Du Long and Du Caini, and the war horses of each family were very recognizable with clan badges!

Du Long turned over the war horse he was riding, showed a bright smile to Xia Qinglian below, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Qinglian, if you don't mind, just ride with you!"

Almost without any hesitation, Xia Qinglian directly stretched out her jade hand and handed it to Du Long, and then he easily pulled the war horse, feeling the warm breath of a little man coming from her back, and the white scarf masked beauty blushed to the base of her neck again!

"Let's go!" Glancing ambiguously at Du Long and Xia Qinglian who were sitting together, Zhou Xu waved his arm and shouted.

The soldiers of the city defense army left the Zuixiang Building in a majestic manner with three horses, and seemed to be heading towards the headquarters of the city defense army, but in fact, they turned a corner halfway and went to Du Mansion.

Feeling the soft and boneless skin of the beautiful woman in his arms, Du Long was a young man with strong blood after all, and gradually reacted physiologically, and he could feel that Xia Qinglian's body had become a little stiff, and he immediately knew that it was too big!

Zhou Xu, who hurriedly walked towards and rode forward, said without words: "Uncle! Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve, why are you on duty at the city defense headquarters tonight? This is not your usual style?!"

"Oh! Do you think your uncle is willing?! It's not your grandfather, insisting that security is very important before and after Chinese New Year's Eve, and that our Zhou family has to play a leading role, let me catch it with a few of your cousins, whoever catches it will be on duty that day! No, brother-in-law, I just caught today!" Zhou Xu didn't find that Du Long was wrong, and replied a little depressed.

His words made Du Caini and Xia Qinglian can't help but be gentle, and the little embarrassment between Du Long and Xia Qinglian has also been released a lot, in order to no longer have an embarrassing situation, Du Long can only continue to have nothing to say, this diversion effect is indeed very significant!

A group of three horsemen, chatting and walking under the escort of the city defense sergeants, soon arrived outside the gate of Du Mansion, Zhou Xu unceremoniously took the strange war knife used by Du Long from his subordinates, and his hand was heavy, which made him stunned.

"Boy! Uncle estimates that this war knife weighs at least hundreds of pounds! I haven't seen you for two months, and your kid has become a lot more awesome!" Zhou Xu stared at Du Long with a monster-like gaze, and handed the war knife back to him.

"Hehe, Shibei should be impressed in three days!" Du Long could only reach out and take his war knife with a dry smile.

Zhou Xu could only shake his head helplessly, turned around and sent back the soldiers of the city defense army under him, and then accompanied Du Long and the three of them into the Du Mansion!

"The people of Zuixianglou have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?!I actually dare to touch my precious grandson, shaking the sky, and transferring troops to Lao Tzu to level Zuixianglou!" In the east chamber of Du's mansion, there was an angry roar of Old Man Du.

Seeing Du Long and Xia Qinglian covered in blood, not to mention that Old Man Du was angry, even Du Zhentian and Zhou Ruoxue were all furious, no matter how strong the background of the drunken Xianglou was, it would not be possible to dare to touch the grandchildren of the Du family!

Once the Du Zhou family unites, no one in the entire capital will dare to underestimate it!

"Grandpa is in a hurry, the child only has one or two minor injuries on his body, but this time Zuixianglou suffered a big loss, not only injured dozens of guards, but also was smashed to pieces!" Du Long hurriedly waved his hand to stop his grandfather and said, today he is cheap, and it is a bit too much to send troops to bully others.

"Come on, take the young master and Miss Qinglian down to wash!" Du Mother Zhou Ruoxue looked at her baby son with some distress, and she didn't have time to say anything to Xia Qinglian for the time being, and it was not too late to talk after they washed and changed their clothes and came out.

Looking at the two bloody backs disappearing outside the gate, Zhou Xu said curiously: "Second sister, didn't Du Long, this kid not be able to cultivate before? Do you know that just now I led the city defense army to Zuixiang Tower, and he actually carried a war knife alone to kill him from the second floor to the first floor, and dozens of guards of the Qi Rank in Zuixiang Building couldn't stop him?!"

"Alas, I also think that the stinky boy has become a little incomprehensible recently, it seems that there are a lot of secrets, when did this kid order such a war knife, and he has never seen it?!" Zhou Ruoxue's mind swept over the appearance of Du Long leaving the hall with the war knife, Du Long could not put the war knife into the space ring in front of others!

Zhou Ruoxue suppressed her doubts, and then explained that Du Long had repaired his physical problem with the help of Guiyuan Dan, and then Du Caini explained how Du Long met Princess Huofeng and why he made a big fuss about Drunken Xianglou, and Zhou Xu realized what happened to his only nephew.

Half an hour later, Du Long and Xia Qinglian came out after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, and when they came to Du Mansion, Xia Qinglian didn't need to continue to wear that white silk scarf, her beautiful face made the entire living room light up, and she saw that Old Man Du and Du Zhentian and his wife nodded secretly, and even Du Caini and Captain Zhou Xu couldn't help but show envy.

Zhou Ruoxue stepped forward a little nervously to check if Du Long was injured, and finally only saw a blood mark on his arm, Du Long also found that he had recovered much faster from some external injuries after the physical mutation, and the originally cracked wound was now mostly healed!

"Wow! Miss Qinglian is so beautiful! No wonder Du Long's stinky boy would smash the drunken Xianglou for you!" Du Caini screamed on the spot after seeing Xia Qinglian's appearance clearly, few people in the entire capital had seen Xia Qinglian's true face.

Being called by her like this, Zhou Ruoxue turned her attention away from her precious son, and her beautiful eyes stared at the soft and weak beautiful girl Xia Qinglian, and couldn't help but step forward and take her jade hand and look it up and down.

Being held by Zhou Ruoxue like this, Xia Qinglian's white face turned red again, and her delicate appearance was really cute!

"Okay, it's really a lovely beauty! No wonder my stinky boy will go crazy for you! Miss Qinglian, before ransom you, I promised the Duke of Huofeng to accept you as a righteous daughter, and no one will dare to bully you if she lives in my Du family in the future!

Xia Qinglian raised her eyes in a panic and looked at the noble Du Long's mother in front of her, and her beautiful eyes quickly replied with tears in her trembling voice: "Qinglian used to be an unsightly geisha in Zuixianglou!

"Although I have never been to Zuixiang Building, I have also heard that there is a girl named Qinglian there who sells her art and does not sell her body, although she is not stained by the mud, you used to be a famous lady, and the reason why you fell into the dust is also involuntarily, it is not what you want! Therefore, Qinglian girl, don't be presumptuous!" Zhou Ruoxue patted Qinglian's arm and said softly.

"This ...... Qinglian really can't climb high...... I am afraid that in the future, I will ruin Mrs. Du's reputation, and Qinglian will die at that time!" Xia Qinglian looked flustered, still not daring to accept Zhou Ruoxue's good intentions.

"Let's let the old man say a few words!" Old Man Du finally couldn't help but speak: "Miss Qinglian, your deceased grandfather used to have a good relationship with the old man, and he is an old friend! Your father Xia Ye is a loyal minister who dares to speak out! After being a loyal and virtuous person, Miss Qinglian herself has no guilt, although she has been in Zuixiang Building for a few years, she can't help it, since Du Long and his mother are willing to recognize you as a righteous daughter, you don't have to postpone it anymore! Just accept it!"

With the prestige of Old Man Du in the Du family, this opening is not a joke, it can definitely represent the attitude of the entire Du family, and on behalf of the Du family, support Zhou Ruoxue to accept Xia Qinglian as a righteous daughter, Xia Qinglian, who was still hesitating, finally gave a gift, tears like pearls with broken threads, and she kept falling to the ground with a cough.

"The little woman Xia Qinglian Xie Du is kind to the old man, Mrs. Xie Du is loved, and the ninth son of Xie Du is life-saving......"

"Okay, everything is fine!Qinglian, don't call me Mrs. Du in the future, just call me stepmother!" Zhou Ruoxue's beautiful eyes flashed with tears, obviously infected by Xia Qinglian, a poor girl.

"Mother-in-law!" Xia Qinglian called softly obediently.

"Eh, hehe, that's right! Remember, this is your home in the future, don't be polite in your own home, your stepmother will arrange for someone to serve you, and if you have any requirements in the future, just mention it to them!" Zhou Ruoxue responded with some excitement, she has only given birth to one son after marrying into Du Mansion for many years, and she dreams of having a beautiful daughter who is well-behaved and obedient.

"Miss Qinglian is called my mother-in-law, what do you want to call me?!" Du Long scratched his head and muttered a little depressedly.

Burst!

Zhou Xu, Du Caini and others laughed on the spot, looking at Du Long with a good look on their faces, Zhou Ruoxue glanced at her precious son and replied with a smile: "That's not simple, it's called righteous brother!"

"No, no, don't you call Qinglian girl old-fashioned by herself?!And it's very old-fashioned, I think it's better to call me by my name!" Du Long hurriedly waved his hands and refused.

"Stinky boy! It's settled! Don't talk nonsense with the old lady!" Zhou Ruoxue pretended to be angry with a straight face, and Du Long immediately withered when he saw it, and could only mumble that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Okay! Ming'er is a big Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to enter the palace early in the morning to participate in the New Year's celebration, good grandson, you and Caini also want to participate, it's late today, you have to rest early!" Old man Du waved his hand and stood up.

"Oh, that's right, we're all going to attend the New Year's celebration in the palace tomorrow, what should we do at home? Will the people from Zuixianglou send someone to arrest Sister Qinglian back?!" Du Long remembered that there would be this stubble tomorrow, and couldn't help but say worriedly, Xia Qinglian also looked a little nervous when she heard it.

"Hmph! Give Zuixianglou ten guts, they don't dare to come to Du's Mansion to rob people! If they dare to do this, the old man, I will dare to send troops to move Zuixianglou!" Old Man Du waved his hand with a little disdain, and he didn't bother to continue talking nonsense, and turned around directly and went back to the inner hall where he lived.

"Du Long, third uncle, third aunt! I'll go back to rest too, goodbye Miss Qinglian! You can often come to the North Wing to play with me when you have time!" Du Caini then got up to say goodbye, and Captain Zhou Xu also stood up and prepared to flash.

After the three members of Du Long's family and Xia Qinglian sent them out of the East Chamber, they turned around together!

"Qinglian, the room where you live is next door to Du Long, and Xiaocui will serve you in the future, so you can go back with the stinky boy!" Zhou Ruoxue commanded.

"Yes! Good night to my father-in-law and mother!" Xia Qinglian said.

Seeing his parents return to the wing where he lived, Du Long took Xia Qinglian's jade hand and walked towards the wing where he lived, Xia Qinglian only symbolically retracted her hand and stopped, letting this kid deliberately pull her jade hand forward.

"Childe, I don't know if the emperor has ever forgiven his father's sins?!" After enduring it for a long time, Xia Qinglian finally took the opportunity to say what she had wanted to ask for a long time.

"This ......" Du Long hesitated suddenly, he could only stop and turn to look at her, and with a solemn face, he briefly recounted the pardon decree of Princess Huofeng begging the emperor for many days, and finally begging for pardon for her.

"Qinglian! Princess Huofeng almost didn't turn her face with her father for your matter, don't blame her for not being able to help, about your parents, you can only find a chance to save them in the future!" Du Long looked at Xia Qinglian with a lost face and added.

Shaking her head, Xia Qinglian replied softly: "The great kindness of Princess Huofeng and Gongzi, Qinglian will definitely remember it forever, even if she is a slave and a maid! Qinglian also knows that Her Royal Highness the princess has done her best, and she can only be grateful!"

Nodding, Du Long sighed lightly and continued to take the poor woman in the direction of the wing where he lived!
