"So what are you here for?"

"To repay a favor."

Du Sanniang did not hide anything and directly stated the purpose of her trip.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this.

"Repay a favor? How do I repay a favor?"

Upon hearing this, Du Sanniang lifted her hair beside her ear, revealing her white and crystal earlobe. She looked at Li Xiuzhu charmingly without saying a word, but her body language showed her feminine charm to the fullest.

What? Are you asking me to guess? Or should I ask?

"Miss Du, are you going to pledge yourself to me?"

Du Sanniang froze for a moment when she heard this, but she recovered in the blink of an eye.

"If the young master wants to marry Sanniang, it is not impossible."

This... Li Xiuzhu is a little confused now.

It stands to reason that one should repay a favor immediately, but you left and came back, and suddenly gave yourself to me, which inevitably makes people think too much.

As if she had seen through Li Xiuzhu's doubts and suspicions, Du Sanniang rolled her eyes at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Sir, do you suspect me?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"The girl came back home specially and then came to repay the favor. It's hard for me not to be suspicious."

Du Sanniang explained, "Isn't this simple? I went home to tell my parents. They have been worried for a long time. Now that I'm out of trouble, is it okay for me to go home and report that I'm safe?"

"In order to repay the favor, it's okay to investigate the benefactor."

Li Xiuzhu nodded, but he was not completely relieved yet, and continued to ask: "But if you want to repay the favor, you can do it in Luliang Mountain that day, why did you come all the way to Shangjing City?"

Du Sanniang shrugged and asked, "Sir, do you know how a lady with some sense repays her benefactor?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled. Before he could think about it, Du Sanniang continued, "If the benefactor is handsome and talented, then it goes without saying..."

"If you don't abandon me, I have nothing to repay you with but my body."

"If the benefactor is ugly and coarse, then it would be another story..."

"My benefactor, I will give you some small things to express my gratitude. Otherwise, I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only work like a cow or a horse in my next life to repay you."

"Besides that, if I can only choose one of appearance and talent, then it is whether I can travel with you, sir."

"If you get along well with the young master, then of course it's your will and you can get married happily."

"If we don't have the same interests and can't talk to each other, then it's better to forget each other in the world than to support each other."

Hiss, this is really realistic.

"Then why are you willing to pledge your love to me?"

Du Sanniang bit her lip when she heard this, then looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Sir, don't you look in the mirror on weekdays?"

"You are two different people today than you were when you saved me."

"Besides, I have been in your house for a while. Although I haven't seen much, I have met several of your concubines."

"Their smiles were genuine, their clothes were dressed well, and the atmosphere between them was very good."

"Although I don't know how you manage to make them live in harmony, but there is no doubt that following you should be happy."

"So, sir, do you understand now why Sanniang is willing to give herself to you?"

Oh, I understand it very well.

It means you have to be good-looking, talented, and capable.

Although Du Sanniang didn't mention her strength, it does show that she is capable enough to rescue them from the bandits.

However, Li Xiuzhu did not agree so easily.

Yun Shuang’s behavior yesterday made him realize that taking in girls so frequently had hurt the people who loved him.

Anyway, it's enough for now, so he plans to calm down. If there is nothing special or no feelings in the future, he will restrain himself a little.

"So now you want me to marry you?"

Any normal person would know how to respond when seeing such a beautiful woman say this.

However, Li Xiuzhu was at this time feeling guilty about Yun Shuang and was determined to make corrections, so he smiled gently and said, "Miss Du, you are joking. Actually, I was just joking."

"If you really want to help me, why not be a bodyguard for my ladies?"

At this point, Li Xiuzhu suddenly paused and asked hesitantly, "Miss Du should be pretty good at martial arts, right?"

Du Sanniang didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to say that. She raised her eyebrows, feeling insulted.

You know, she had almost made it clear just now, but now not only did the other person not want her, he also doubted her martial arts skills.

Although he did have the right to doubt, he did not want to be looked down upon.

"Mr. Li, please don't underestimate me. I am also a top-notch fighter among the second-rate fighters. If Lin Li hadn't come to catch me, or if he hadn't attacked me when I was not prepared, it would have been impossible for an ordinary person to catch me silently."

"Even if it's Lin Li, I'm confident I can fight him for dozens of moves."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The top of the second-rate? Li Xiuzhu was a little dissatisfied, but Du Sanniang had a solid foundation, and her ability to temporarily rival the top players was indeed not bad.

Moreover, Du Sanniang is about twenty years old and can be considered a martial arts genius.

"Okay, then you can live in the front yard."

"Well, don't run around."

"Also, read the Book of Changes when you have nothing to do. When you have understood it well, I will teach you a light footwork technique."

If Kankan had not entered the palace, the best arrangement would naturally be left to Kankan. Unfortunately, now that Kankan has entered the palace, it is inconvenient for him to contact her.

"Who wants to run?"

Du Sanniang did not refuse the martial arts. Although she did not see Li Xiuzhu take action, those dead people had already shown how powerful Li Xiuzhu's martial arts were.

"Cuiyun, take Miss Du to the front yard to choose a room."

Cuiyun at the door heard the sound and hurried in.

"Ms. Du, this way please."

Just when Li Xiuzhu had arranged for Du Sanniang, Kanan finally met the prince and found the right time.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you would like to ascend to the throne."

At this moment, Crown Prince Li Chengze's eyes suddenly became alert, and he looked at Kankan with a scrutinizing look.

"How dare you? Are you trying to instigate me to rebel?"

As he said this, he looked at his mother, the queen.

Mom, what’s going on?

The queen was also confused. She looked at Xianxian and asked, "Xianxian, what do you mean?"

Although Kanan didn't know why Li Xiuzhu trusted the queen, she believed in her master.

So she got straight to the point.

"This is what my master meant. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is interested, I can act as a go-between."

master?

The prince frowned and asked, "Who is your master?"

He had already figured out that his mother and this Kankan were not so-called relatives at all, otherwise it would be impossible for him not even to know his mother.

"My master is Champion Hou Li Xiuzhu."

Li Xiuzhu? The prince narrowed his eyes slightly. This was one of the main reasons why his plan failed.

The queen's face changed and no one knew what she was thinking. After a long while, she finally asked, "Tell me about your master's plan."
