It seems that I must meet Tan'er tonight.
Dong Lingjiu frowned and couldn't help but glance at Xia Tan'er, who was chatting with Nan Lingmu.
"I don't know how long the second prince will stay in Dongling, but will he leave after the Kyushu event?"
“I’m not sure yet, maybe I’ll stay longer.”
Just as he was about to continue asking, Lu Yimo came to Xia Tan'er with the matrons of each family behind him.
"Tan'er."
"Mom, you are here too."
Xia Tan'er stepped forward and took Lu Yimo's arm, and then looked behind her. The group of luxuriously dressed women all nodded and smiled at her, showing kindness.
She was used to seeing despicable people acting arrogant and domineering in front of her and had never seen such a scene before.
Xia Tan'er suddenly occupied a lot of Lu family's face. Such a scene was not unusual for her.
"Mom, who are these?"
"They are all my mother's friends. I will introduce them to you one by one after the palace banquet is over."
"I see."
Xia Tan'er nodded, turned around and saluted the group of women.
"Tan'er has met all the ladies."
"Yimo, your Tan'er is so well-educated."
"You are already Princess Jin, and you are still giving us such a great gift."
"It's our turn to salute."
"Since all aunts are my mother's friends, they are also my elders. Nowadays, when we meet juniors in private, we naturally have to bow to our elders."
Xia Tan'er's words made these aunts very happy after hearing them, and it also made Lu Yimo feel more face-saving in front of these ladies.
"The banquet is about to begin. Let's go back first and gather together at Lu Mansion another day."
"yes."
With an order, the group of ladies dispersed. Xia Tan'er once again felt the horror of power and aristocratic families. In the past, such ladies' diplomacy had only been seen on TV. Now, seeing it with her own eyes, Lu Yimo's prestige was given to her. Shocked, he fell to the ground.
When he turned around and was about to ask Lu Yimo, he saw her staring at Nan Lingmu, as if looking at her son-in-law, which made Nan Lingmu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem, mother, let me introduce you. This is Nanling Mu, the second prince of Nanling. The second prince, this is my mother, Lu Yimo."
When Nan Lingmu heard the name, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. He did not expect that he would have such an adventure today.
"I met Mrs. Lu at dusk in Nanling. I have admired her name for a long time but I didn't recognize her when we first met. Please forgive me for Mrs. Lu. When we first met, Xiao Wang thought that Mrs. Lu was an elderly woman. He never thought that you are so young and good-looking. , no wonder she could give birth to such a beautiful daughter as Miss Tan'er."
As for someone who can speak, this compliment made both Lu Yimo and Xia Taner very happy.
Dong Lingjiu, who was staring here from a distance, felt a sense of crisis in his heart when he saw this scene.
"Donngling Luo, if you don't go find your princess, I'm afraid she will be snatched away by someone else."
\"Hmm? Uncle Nine Emperors, what does this mean?\"
It was strange that Dong Lingjiu suddenly said such a sentence. Dong Lingluo looked up at Dong Lingjiu, only to see him raising his chin towards one end. He took advantage of the situation and immediately darkened his face.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, my nephew still has some family matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave first."
"Um."
Watching Dong Lingluo walk quickly towards Xia Tan'er. Dong Lingjiu's stern eyebrows revealed a relaxed smile.
"My son-in-law has something to do and he is late. I hope my mother-in-law will respect her."
As soon as Donglingluo came up, he interrupted the conversation between the three of them and apologized to Lu Yimo.
Xia Tan'er and Lu Yimo know the reason for this very well. Dongling Luo wanted to climb the high branches of the Lu family in order to consolidate his authority in the court. Otherwise, if she had been the wife of another official, she would not have received such courtesy from the prince.
But because of what happened just now, Lu Yimo didn't give Dong Lingluo any good looks.
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has only met my wife once, so why did I delay the delay? His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has many things to do every day, and it is reasonable to discuss matters with the Ninth Emperor Uncle. There is no need to come here to apologize. How can my wife bear the pain? A gift from the prince."
The words are full of rejection and yin and yang. Donglingluo understood that Lu Yimo was angry. He quickly looked at Xia Tan'er in an attempt to ask Xia Tan'er to help him speak.
Xia Tan'er pretended that she didn't see anything and gently picked up the tea cup in her hand and took a sip.
Donglingluo had no choice but to explain himself.
"My son-in-law and the Nine Emperors Uncles are indeed discussing important matters of state, but important matters of state are not as important as the banquet attended by my mother-in-law. As my son-in-law, I should take my mother-in-law to have fun and enjoy it."
"How can a minister's wife compare to national affairs? A minister's wife cannot bear the reputation of being a beauty and a disaster. His Highness the Fifth Prince is looking down upon his minister's wife."
Xia Tan'er deeply admired Lu Yimo's yin and yang. The most satisfying thing was that Lu Yimo spoke like this. Dong Lingluo didn't even dare to say a single word in front of Lu Yimo, and he looked like he was begging for everything.
"Besides, your uncle, nephew, brother, and sister's family just had a reunion. When I passed by, I heard you mention Tan'er's name, so I stopped and said a few more words. She should be the one to apologize."
Lu Yimo winked at Xia Tan'er, and Xia Tan'er answered immediately.
"You mentioned my name? I wonder if the prince can tell me, what did you say about me?"
By naming them like this, it goes without saying that these three people definitely didn't say anything good about themselves. Lu Yimo even handed the stick to his hand, making it clear that he wanted to teach Dong Lingluo a lesson. Xia Tan'er would really be a fool if she didn't take it.
However, it was just Dong Lingluo and Dong Lingyan. What chilled Xia Tan'er was that according to Lu Yimo's wishes, Uncle Nine Emperors was also involved.
I really didn’t expect that she would express her heart and soul to Dong Lingjiu. But it turns out that in his heart, he is just a clown who can be insulted at will.
My heart suddenly became cold.
With a chill in his heart, he completely lost his worries. There seemed to be a sharp blade hidden in Xia Tan'er's gentle inquiry. As long as the other party answers such a sentence, the sharp blade will pierce the heart without hesitation in the next second.
Donglingluo pursed his lips and didn't know how to answer for a while. If he tells lies in front of Xia Tan'er, it will definitely offend Lu Yimo and make Xia Tan'er mistakenly think that Lu Yimo is causing discord.
But if he tells the truth, he is afraid that the mother and daughter will join forces to deal with him. How can he win the support of the Lu family? Even though he was able to deal with many women with ease, Dongling Luo really didn't know what to do at this moment.
Nan Lingmu silently stepped aside and watched the three people calmly without any intention of helping. He knew very well that neither the Lu family nor Xia Tan'er were easy to mess with. There is absolutely no need for me to wade through this muddy water.
Seeing that Dong Lingluo didn't speak for a long time, Lu Yimo was too lazy to wait any longer.
"If His Highness the Fifth Prince doesn't tell me, then I'll let my wife inform Princess Jin."
Lu Yimo deliberately used the word "Princess Jin" to describe her very harshly. He signaled to Dongling Luo that this was his last chance. But Donglingluo, this coward, pretended to be deaf and dumb and lowered his head silently.
Xia Tan'er glanced at Lu Yimo and signaled Lu Yimo to tell the truth.
"Just now, when I was passing by, I heard the Sixth Princess say with her own ears that Xia Tan'er is a bitch. The royal family is really well-educated. They raised a princess who is so arrogant and dares to be disrespectful to her own sister-in-law. Could it be that she has forgotten that Tan'er is a bitch? Princess Jin is a concubine bestowed by the emperor. Being disrespectful to the emperor’s sister-in-law is not the same as being disrespectful to the emperor.”
Lu Yimo glanced at Dongling Luo with disdain, then turned to Nan Lingmu and gave a special nod.
"Second Prince, if you marry someone in the future, you must be careful and don't marry any random woman into your family."
