First Volume, Chapter 1263: One Big Family

Jing Qianying still held her head high, grumbling: "Don't think this is over. When we get back to Beixi County, just wait and see how I'll deal with you."

Qin Feng naturally bowed and scraped, repeatedly apologizing.

To be fair, it was his own fault—he spent every day fighting for the Liang Emperor, only to end up caught between two fires; being a minister is hard, being a loyal minister is harder.

But fortunately, this life is about to end; even if Heaven's own lord came today, he wouldn't dare separate Qin Feng from his family.

After calming down Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying, Qin Feng didn't hesitate—he reached out and pulled Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng into his arms.

The two girls gasped in surprise, their faces instantly flushing crimson.

In the past, they'd been more relaxed, but now that Qin Feng was married, their reservations had naturally grown.

"Young Master, don't do this… so many people are watching," Xiao Xiangxiang pleaded nervously, head bowed, stammering.

Shu Feng's cheeks were even thinner—she bit her lip and whispered, "Young Master, you're cruel. You're already married, yet still teasing your maid like this."

Qin Feng didn't care—he squeezed the two girls tightly, and if he'd applied even a little more force, they might have suffocated on the spot.

"I've missed you both so much! Let this Young Master pamper you properly, hahaha!"

"These past months, you've worked hard. Don't blame me for being heartless and leaving you in Jingdu—after all, Xiaolan and Qianying needed someone to care for them, and I couldn't trust anyone else."

"Once we reach Beixi County and everything's settled, I'll marry you both. Hehe."

Qin Feng had already thrown caution to the wind—he didn't care who hated him now. He was returning to Beixi County to enjoy peace, and anyone who dared stand in his way, even Heaven's own lord, he'd drag off their throne.

Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng grew even more embarrassed, wishing they could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying, seeing this, didn't mind at all—after all, these two girls had always followed Qin Feng, remained utterly loyal to the Qin Family, and cared for Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying with meticulous devotion.

Even if they'd done no great deeds, they'd endured great hardship; if Qin Feng ever granted them status, it would be only fair.

At that moment, Qin Tianhu stepped forward and slapped Qin Feng's shoulder hard.

"My son has truly become a real man!"

Qin Feng immediately let go of the two girls, without hesitation, dropped to his knees, and bowed three times to Qin Tianhu.

"Father, I pay my respects."

Qin Tianhu reached out and yanked Qin Feng up, pretending indifference, but inwardly overflowing with joy.

What pleased Qin Tianhu most about this son was that, no matter how great his achievements, Qin Feng had never forgotten his roots.

Qin Tianhu wasn't just pleased—he was immensely proud; raising a son like this was enough to honor all his ancestors.

"Boy, get ready—you're taking over now. From this moment on, I'm done with affairs. After returning to Beixi County to reunite with your mother, I'll spend my days in peace."

Hearing this, Qin Feng felt a pang of sorrow—Qin Tianhu and Qin Cheng Clan had both given far too much for this family.

The best way to repay his parents was to reunite them as soon as possible.

Qin Feng rubbed his nose and nodded firmly: "Don't worry. Even if heaven collapses today, no one will stop a single step of the Qin Family."

Qin Tianhu naturally believed his son—even though Qin Feng had betrayed the Liang Emperor at the last moment, it had somewhat tarnished his reputation.

But thinking of his wife waiting far away, and of the family reunion ahead, all his worries vanished.

Just like Qin Feng, nothing in this world mattered more than family.

Xie Bi, Xu Mo, and the Marquis of Yong'an, along with their Jia Guan, all squeezed over.

Xie Bi, seeing Qin Feng, sighed deeply: "I thought leaving Jingji today would be as hard as climbing to heaven. Now that Feng'er has returned, reaching Beixi County is just around the corner."

"By the way, Yun'er hasn't sent word since leaving Jingdu—how is she?"

Qin Feng deeply respected this father-in-law who had always supported him and answered quickly: "Please don't worry, Father-in-Law. Yun'er is well—she's already arrived in Beixi County with Second Sister and is waiting for you."

With confirmation that Xie Yun'er was safe, Xie Bi's heart finally settled—he had only one daughter.

The Marquis of Yong'an grabbed Qin Feng's arm excitedly: "How is my son Ning Hu?"

Qin Feng, equally respectful, replied: "Ning Hu is well—he's guarding all of Beixi County. When you and Aunt arrive, Ning Hu will surely treat you both with filial devotion."

"Oh, by the way, Ning Hu is one of the Main Generals and the backbone of Beixi County."

"Because of Ning Hu, you two will receive a Lou Ge."

Hearing this, the Marquis of Yong'an's eyes lit up—he rubbed his hands eagerly: "A Lou Ge?"

"I've heard Beixi County has built many Lou Ge—rising grandly, extremely imposing. Only those who've made great contributions to Beixi County may live in them—they're symbols of status."

"I never imagined the Ning Family would have such fortune! Hahaha, Qin Feng, you're being decent this time."

Seeing the Marquis of Yong'an preening, Xie Bi felt a twinge of envy and grumbled: "Then what about me? Qin Feng, don't you dare give me some shabby courtyard to fool me."

Qin Feng wiped sweat from his brow and smiled apologetically: "How would I dare? You'll get a Lou Ge too."

Xie Bi's mood improved: "Hmph. That's more like it."

Qin Feng noticed Xu Mo standing quietly beside him and realized Xu Mo was uneasy—he immediately greeted him.

"Uncle, although Xu Mo suffered serious injuries, after the Military Doctors' full efforts, he's out of danger and has been sent back to Beixi County. With more rest, he may fully recover."

Xu Mo's father finally relaxed—what parent doesn't ache for their child?

And Qin Feng's address of "Uncle" made Xu Mo's heart bloom—he slowly lifted his head, which had been hanging low.

He turned to his wife and boasted: "Didn't I tell you? Even though we're commoners, thanks to Mo'er, no one dares look down on us."

Xu Mo's wife smiled politely: "Yes, yes, yes—after all, we owe it all to Qin Feng."

Xu Mo nodded, his gaze filled with gratitude toward Qin Feng: "You went to save Xu Mo—just for that, it was the right choice for Xu Mo to follow you for life."

"Even if Xu Mo dies in battle for you, we old folks won't utter a single word."

Hearing this, Qin Feng waved his hands urgently: "Uncle, please don't say that—it's bad luck. Xu Mo is a Main General; unless ambushed by enemies, he'd never risk close combat."

"He'll surely take good care of you both."
