g about this guy's outlandish ideas, if he can now summon an earthquake, what will he do next What if this guy pours a bucket of water on everyone's bed, claiming they were sleepwalking, and then call...Yue Qingke entered the Duan family's gate as a prospective son-in-law and received a grand welcome.

Accompanied by Emperor Duan Shu himself, everyone entered the main hall.

As the junior, Yue Qingke definitely had to pay his respects to the elders of the Duan family first.

Gift after gift arrived, and the once domineering couple of Duan Jia's fifth son felt that their status in the Duan family had risen to a whole new level.

Especially Aunt Five of the Duan family, wished she could immediately grab Yue Qingke and hold a wedding for Duan Xiang on the spot instead of waiting.

Or, it's not impossible for her to marry Yue Qingke herself.

The Duan family was full of joy and festivity, even the air buzzed with celebration.

As a member of the Duan family, Duan Fu, was frowning and looking extremely distressed.

With the meager scraps of food he managed to survive on, Duan Ling returned home. This was the first time in his life that Duan Fu had disobeyed the orders of the elderly patriarch of the Duan family.

However, faced with Li Nanshan's threat, he had no choice but to do so.

To be honest, after leaving the peninsula and starting his journey back home, he should have reported this news to the grandfather first.

A sudden uninvited guest arrived, leaving him no time even to send a single informational message.

He turned his head to look at the man beside him, occasionally exclaiming in admiration at the scenery outside the window, then turned back to share a few intimate words with Duan Lingxing.

Du Fu hated him to his teeth, but he had to face him with the most sincere smile.

"How come the Duan family is so lively today The parade of cars to visit them has lined up all the way down the mountain!"

That casual remark from him made Duan Fu's face stiffen instantly.

He hurriedly turned his eyes to the window, only to see a large number of vehicles gathered at the foot of the mountain, just like the scene when the military had sealed off the Duan family's residence that day.

What's happened again

"Hurry, speed up and go back!"

The speeding car, like an arrow leaving the string, arrived at the Duan family's doorstep in a flash.

At this moment, inside the main hall, Old Master Duan was smiling as he accepted Yue Qingke's tea. Just as he was about to offer some praise, a hurried set of footsteps interrupted everyone's work.

"Master, I'm back."

Duan Fu entered the door and bowed to the old grandfather, then squinted his eyes to scan the surroundings.

The expressions of Yue Qingke, Duan Xiang, and the couple Duan Jia Lao Wu leaped to life before him, and he finally let out a breath.

The Duan family is fine, not only unharmed, but clearly still something good has happened.

My mind relaxed, but then another question popped into my head.

Duan Fu hurriedly went to the old grandfather's side, reporting what happened on the peninsula, especially the news that Duan Lingxing was brought back alive by him.

Unfortunately, before he could speak, the situation had spiraled completely out of control.

To be honest, when Duan Fu appeared, the Duan family members all had different thoughts.

Elder Duan was feeling heavyhearted and eager to inquire about the situation in the peninsula, but he also didn't want to neglect Yue Qingke.

The couple of the fourth son of the Duan family still held a glimmer of hope, but when they saw only Duan Fu appear alone, they felt as if the sky was falling, unable to utter a word.

Lao Wu sighed softly. Aunt Wu was only heartbroken for a moment before gently pushing Duan Xiang's armchair forward.

Her gesture was a way of telling everyone present that the star of the day was her daughter, Duan Xiang.

Today is a joyous day for Duan Wuwu's family as they welcome their new son-in-law. Let us not allow the sadness of separation and loss to overshadow this celebration.

Even in death, she had another close female relative inside her.

On the other side, Duan Ning and Chen Yu'er walked into the front hall together from the back room.

Chen Yuer's thoughts were still on Yue Qingke. After the last time she had tried to uncover the secrets of Li Nanfang, she was now truly afraid to look at Yue Qingke even once.

But the more I avoided it, the harder it was to suppress the curiosity in my heart.

Du Ning was focused on Fu Bo, or rather, on the things behind Fu Bo.

Upon seeing only Mr. Fu, Duan Ning's heart sank, her hopes crumbling.

But the next moment, the collapsed state of mind building was rebuilt. Duan Ning raised her hand to cover her mouth that had grown up, unable to believe what she saw before her eyes.

Each member of the Duan family, with their diverse thoughts and feelings, also mirrored Duan Ning's shock, their faces revealing a uniform expression of astonishment.

Then Duan Xing walked in safe and sound, unharmed.

"Sparse"

In the crowd, someone—no one knew who first—shouted out that name. Then, countless gasps filled the room.

Wasn't Duan Xing supposed to die on the peninsula for the benefit of the Duan family

Why didn't Duanfu kill her

Could it be that he couldn't bear to harm Duan Jia Sihuang, who he had watched grow up since childhood, and secretly disobeyed the old master's orders

If that were truly the case, then it shouldn't be so brazen to bring people back in the open.

And what about Duan Xiangning

Amongst everyone, Old Master Duan's thoughts changed the most rapidly.

He was certain that unless there were overwhelming reasons, Duan Fu would absolutely not dare to disobey his orders.

Now that Duan is living on, it can only prove that someone has saved her.

Who could make Duan Fu so apprehensive, and who would prevent him from even having the chance to call ahead and give a warning

Various questions lingered in the minds of the Duan family.

The whole room was terrifyingly quiet.

At this moment, everyone lost their ability to speak until a hearty voice rang out from behind Duan Lingxing.

The tranquility of the Duan family was utterly shattered.

"Mr. Duan, it's been a long time. I hope you are well."

With that, the Director of the Supreme Guard Bureau, Jing Hong, strode to the center of the crowd.

You are right, it is this unexpectedly appeared Jing Hong Bureau Chief, who made Duan Fu from his return from the peninsula until entering the Duan family's house, always unable to speak out his grievances.

Nobody knew where Jinghong got the information. The moment Fu Bo set foot on Chinese soil, she appeared quietly, transforming herself into Duan Xing's bodyguard.

Every time Duan Fu wanted to contact the Duan family and relay Duan Xing's messages, he would do so under the sharp gaze of Director Jing Hong, shrinking back with his phone after each transmission.

At this moment, Jinghong stood before everyone.

Duan Fu suddenly felt all the weariness that had been weighing him down vanish.

The rest is beyond his purview as a servant. He can't meddle or influence it anymore. It all depends on how those bigwigs clash with each other.

Duan Fu took a deep breath and walked silently to his grandfather's side, standing still.

With Duan Fulai's opening, Jing Hong stood at attention facing Duan Lao. A standard military salute made the atmosphere in the room instantly solemn.

All of the Duan family descendants, faced with such respectful treatment of their grandfather by Director Jing Hong, returned the salute with the most standard military etiquette.

This is a contemporary soldier's respect for the older generation of revolutionaries.

This is the same high esteem that a military family has for elites in the army.

In the quiet atmosphere, Lao Duan's mouth twitched upwards, tremblingly raising his right hand, he gave a military salute to Jing Hongming as well.

"Thanks for your concern, I'm doing well."

That solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated with Lao Duan's words.

When everyone put down their right hands, Jing Hongming finally said respectfully the words she had longed to say.

"Mr. Duan, I apologize for the intrusion. I heard that Li Nanfang is visiting your home, so I came to take my nephew away. As you know, Li Nanfang isn't very bright, and his family is extremely worried."

Jing Hong ordered the Duan family to hand over Li Nanfang.

Is that not so, seeking food on the top of a barren tree - to no avail

He must have known about what happened on the Peninsula long ago since he came to Duan's house with Duan Fu.

Even if Duan Fu didn't say anything, Duan Lingxing would know everything he did and heard.

Jing Hongming knew that Li Nanhua hadn't returned, yet she put on a show of looking for him here, with the intention of accusing him clearly implied.

Show due respect to Mr. Duan, but the changes that need to be made still need to be implemented.

While Old Master Duan just at that instant, had already figured out Duan Fu's situation. He determined in his heart that it was Jinghong who gave Duan Fu the sleeping draught, which is why he hadn't received any prior information here.

Old Master Duan's face was rather unsightly, but he was helpless against the head of the highest security bureau.

Besides, Li Nanfang went to the peninsula for his Duan family and got into danger.

We absolutely cannot end up feuding with Jinghong over this.

"So it was Director Jinghong who came all this way to send back Xingzi. I'd like to thank Director Jinghong for taking such care of this matter."

Old Man Duan let out a faint sigh, and could only say words of thanks with a cold face. He remained silent about Li Nanfang's destination.

Jing Hong Ming wasn't someone who couldn't see the difference between high and low status. At this point, he had come to the Duan family for a purpose, and there was no reason to stay any longer.

"Old Duan, there's no need to thank me. This is what I should do. Since Li Nanshan isn't here, I'll take my leave."

Jing Hong once again performed a military salute, glanced at Yue Qingke beside her, and turned to face Duan Lingxing.

"Whenever you have time, Zero, come to Jinghua and chat with your aunt Jinghong!"

Patting Duan Xing's shoulder, Jing Hong said this and strode away.

As soon as he left, everyone felt a sense of relief.

Don't look at Jing Hong, though she came from a distinguished family, her words were few, and her conversation with Lao Duan seemed to be off topic.

But everyone could see that Duan Xing's life was saved by Jing Hong.

At the thought of this, everyone turned their gaze to Duan Lingxing.

Having gone through life and death, Duan Xing, whose spirit has already undergone a profound transformation, no longer cares about those gazes.

She only took light steps, came before Lao Si and his wife, knelt on both knees, and whispered: "Uncle Four, Aunt Four, Xiangning sister died."

The faces of Lao Si and his wife suddenly turned pale.

The sporadic appearances of the

section completely extinguished the joyous atmosphere surrounding the arrival of a new son-in-law for the Duan family.

Until Duan Xingxing bowed to the old man and returned to his room to rest, everyone was still unable to recover from the shock.

And among them, Duan Ning's heart was the most turbulent.

At this moment, Duan Ning looked at Chen Yuer's eyes again, as if seeing a god.

Feeling Duan Ning's admiring gaze, Chen Yuer only smiled faintly.

Du's sporadic return meant that things on the peninsula were resolved, and it also meant she had no reason to stay at the Du family any longer.

"Master Duan, Fish-child specially comes to bid you farewell. I have caused much disturbance in the Duan family for too long, and it's time for me to leave. As for the details, let the Chen family of Lingnan settle them."

Chen Yuer bowed respectfully to Lao Ye, and said this.

The culprit who plunged the Duan family into this situation is now proposing to leave. This is a slap in the face to everyone in the Duan family.

Even if everyone is deeply angered, there's no way to speak up directly.

After all, all the blame was placed on Duan Xiangning, who had passed away.

"Alright, bring Miss Chen down the mountain."

Master Duan waved his hand and closed his eyes, truly unwilling to think about Chen Yuer.

Chen Yuer replied with a thank you, turned and took a step, but only stepped out before taking it back.

Her gaze shifted back and forth between Duan Chuhang and Yue Qingke, who stood side by side.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, out of concern for the plight of Emperor Duan Chu, I took a step forward.

"Store emperor."

A soft sigh, encompassing a thousand emotions.

But Duan Shuhuang waved his hand resolutely.

Miss Chen, goodbye.

Goodbye. It's the end of our story.

Chen Yuer's heart ached, but her smile remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, I merely wish to remind you. Keep your distance from Yue Qingke, or else, you will invite disaster."

Like the lustful aunt, please collect everyone: () The lustful aunt updates the fastest. Let me know if you'd like anything else translated!d Wei, don't pretend anymore. In your place, would anyone from Baixue Mountain dare come here Unless they have water in their brains," Ye Fan laughed. He had thought it over carefully. At the moment,...
