Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

"really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

Zhou Jinyan rubbed her little head, "Hurry up and tidy up, and bring out some specialties from Yazhou."

"Ah."

Du Yanran was overjoyed and hurried into the house to pack her things.

"Yan Gong, I have something else I want to ask you."

As soon as Zhou Jinyan spoke, Yan Shigu put down his teacup, squinted his eyes and said with a gentle smile, "Is it about your father?"

Zhou Jinyan laughed dryly, "You can't hide anything from Duke Yan, hehe, father is still in Chang'an?"

"Your father has been in Chang'an every year since you left. I'm afraid you won't be able to see him when you come back." Yan Shigu said with complicated eyes.

Zhou Jinyan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said, "Please Mr. Yan, please do me a favor. Can you invite my father to the house tomorrow?"

"a piece of cake."

After a pause, Yan Shigu continued: "Jin Yan, you really don't plan to go back to the Zhou Mansion?"

"not going back."

Zhou Jinyan sighed: "I once said that I will never go back to the Zhou Mansion. That family belongs to Taoism. It has nothing to do with me anymore."

When Yan Shigu heard the words, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

......

When he appeared in front of Du's mansion again, Zhou Jinyan felt as if he had passed away.

This feeling is quite similar to the feeling when returning to the Zhou Mansion for the first time.

"Small, miss?"

Seeing Du Yanran, the concierge blinked and stammered.

"What girl?"

Another new concierge, who didn't know Du Yanran, said something casually.

"Look, I'll report."

The concierge ignored the man, turned around and left.

Just as Zhou Jinyan brought Du Yanran in, he was stopped by the new servant.

"Stop, who are you?"

Du Yanran walked to the front and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

"You don't care who I am, I ask who are you?"

Du Yanran said displeased: "I am Du Yanran, who do you say I am?"

The servant scratched his head, "Du Yanran? The name is quite familiar. Why can't I remember it for a while?"

Du Yanran's face darkened.

Zhou Jinyan pulled the servant over, pointed at Du Yanran and said, "This is the young lady of the Du family, what are you thinking about as a concierge? She doesn't even know her?"

"Ah, you are Du Yanran? Du Xiaoniang?" The new concierge suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "Please, please."

Zhou Jinyan: "..."

Fortunately, Du Yanran was in a good mood and didn't argue with this person, but when she went to the living room, she had a good time talking about this guy.

The servant couldn't help nodding his head, and didn't dare to say a word back.

"The visitor is a guest, you will offend people like this, understand?"

Chapter 696 Du He Did Not Die

Du Yanran continued to teach, "Let me find you like this in the future, be careful I will let my father beat you."

The concierge said with a bitter face: "Xiaoniang is right, it's the little one who has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai."

"That's right."

After Du Yanran finished her lesson with a smile, she dragged Zhou Jinyan into the living room.

..."

The concierge who reported earlier hadn't run a few steps when he saw a person approaching.

"Butler, it's a big deal, a big deal."

The porter hurried over.

"What's the point of yelling?" The butler scolded him sullenly.

"No, no, it's the young lady who is back." The porter said panting.

"What?" The housekeeper grabbed his collar, "Miss is back?"

"It's true, I'm here to report."

"Quick, hurry up and meet the little lady."

After finishing speaking, the housekeeper turned his head, trotted and said, "I'll go and notify the Patriarch."

When Du Ruhui received the news, he was stunned for a long time, "You won't coax me, will you? Even if Yanran and the others come back, how can they come back now?"

"It's true, it's back."

The butler said happily, he was sure that the concierge would not lie to him.

This old concierge has been guarding the Du Mansion's home all his life, how could he be wrong?

Du Ru got up abruptly, took two steps forward, turned around and entered the room again.

"I'm going to change clothes, put them on first."

As soon as he entered the room, he stopped again, "Housekeeper, remember not to tell Yanran about Erlang."

"Oh, I know."

The butler wiped away his tears, feeling extremely relieved.

Ever since what happened to Du He, Du Ruhui hasn't smiled like this for a long time.

Du Yanran sat in the living room with a smile, tilted her head and said in a low voice, "I never thought that I would be like a guest when I come home."

"Are you excited?"

Zhou Jinyan joked.

"No, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Du Yanran retorted softly, but Zhou Jinyan could clearly see the tension in his eyes.

"Silly Yanran."

Zhou Jinyan held her little hand tightly, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Jin said: "You wait first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back."

Du Yanran stood up and said, "I'm with you, where is my husband?"

"It's just outside."

Patting her little head, Zhou Jinyan walked out alone.

After a while, Zhou Jinyan saw a familiar figure approaching.

He hurriedly went up to meet him, "Duke Gong."

Du Ruhui stopped in his tracks and looked at him with a smile, "Be careful, long time no see."

He looked Zhou Jinyan up and down, feeling more and more satisfied.

It's been a long time since I saw Zhou Jinyan, his childishness has faded away, and he has become a lot more mature.

"Don't be safe, Duke Du."

Zhou Jinyan sighed, Du Ruhui was more than ten years older than when he parted.

Du Ruhui said: "Why, you still call me Du Gong?"

"Father-in-law."

Zhou Jinyan broke into a sweat and hurriedly changed his address.

Du Ruhui chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "Is Yanran in there?"

"inside."

Zhou Jinyan blocked his way, "Mr. Du, I have something to ask you."

"Let's go outside to talk, and I happen to have something to tell you."

After a pause, Du Ruhui turned and walked outside.

Zhou Jinyan hurriedly followed out.

When the two arrived at a side courtyard, Du Ruhui sighed deeply and said, "You know everything about my Du residence, right?"

"I know almost everything."

"Did you tell Yanran?" Du Ruhui asked nervously.

"No, I've been hiding it."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Du Ruhui said: "Don't tell Yanran for now. It would be nice if you can keep silent."

"father in law........"

Du Ruhui interrupted him with his hand, "How long are you going to stay in Chang'an?"

"I'm not sure, I just entered the palace once, and I don't know what His Majesty asked me to do when I come back."

"In this case..."

Du Ruhui stroked his beard and said: "It's okay for you to come back in the next year, but now that you come back years ago, if Erlang is not here, Yan Ran will definitely ask something."

Zhou Jinyan was silent, not knowing how to comfort the old man in front of him.

"In short, as long as you can hide it."

Du Ruhui said: "I will trouble you with all this."

"This is what I should do."

Zhou Jinyan hesitated for a while, and said, "I'm really ashamed that I can't do anything."

He knew about Du He's fate, but in the end he just tried to persuade him, and didn't say anything directly. In his heart, he felt that he was somewhat responsible.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "How can I blame you for this matter? It's not what you persuaded me before. Erlang and I are now in the same world, the same hell. I can barely accept the result."

Zhou Jinyan was dumbfounded, "You said Du He didn't..."

Du Ruhui rolled his eyes, "Of course he didn't die. After you left, I felt that something was wrong. There were rumors everywhere in Chang'an, so I asked His Majesty to forcibly transfer him to other places."

Zhou Jinyan was overjoyed, as long as Du He didn't die.

He always thought that Du He was finished.

"The only pity is that the prince rebelled not long after. Erlang was deeply implicated because of the previous incident. Although he was not guilty of death, he was still guilty of living and was imprisoned."

"Where are the others?" Zhou Jinyan suddenly remembered Yan Shigu's words.

"When the incident happened, everyone who had a good relationship with the prince was beheaded. No princes or nobles are useless."

Du Ruhui smiled wryly, "Erlang was arrested from other places, kowtowed to me a few times, and went to prison with peace of mind."

He looked at Zhou Jinyan meaningfully, "Tell me, if it wasn't for you, how could Erlang still be alive?"

Zhou Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time his mood improved a lot. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "Father-in-law, don't embarrass me. I can tell, but I didn't rescue Du He safely. I feel ashamed."
