At first, he pretended not to know her in front of Dong Lingyan and everyone, but now he wants to come to her in private to explain why Dong Lingjiu controls everything, she is also a living person!
There was a hint of hurt in Dong Lingjiu's eyes. He never expected that Xia Tan'er would not even give him a chance to explain.
He was born noble and had never been so humble, but in front of Xia Tan'er he could only admit defeat.
"Tan'er, whether you are willing to listen or not, I will tell you the whole story clearly."
Xia Tan'er sat at the table with her arms folded and looked at Dong Lingjiu with a silent expression. Although Xia Tan'er didn't say anything, Dong Lingjiu knew that Xia Tan'er had given permission, so she began to explain patiently. .
"You who live in the boudoir all the time probably don't know that the king and the emperor brother have always been at odds with each other, but they are only in harmony on the surface. There are many eyes in the palace, and they are all watching my actions. If the king is close to you, I am afraid that the emperor brother will become suspicious and be unfavorable to you. , this is one of them.”
"Secondly, the incident between you and Dongling Luo Heli happened suddenly without informing me. However, if I was involved in the situation at that time, outsiders would definitely think that I have something to do with you. If it were spread, it would affect your reputation. mistaken."
"These two points are the reason why I didn't intervene at that time and wanted to avoid suspicion with you. Tan'er, can you think about it and see if what I said makes sense?"
Looking at Donglingjiu looking at her, there was a trace of expectation in her eyes, and even her expression was so determined. This was the first time she saw Donglingjiu showing other expressions besides being cold and frosty. He is truly human.
And his explanation was not unreasonable. In that case, the emperor would definitely think that she had something to do with Dong Lingjiu, and it might be self-defeating at that time.
In this case, there is no reason to be angry with Dong Lingjiu, but Xia Tan'er feels that if he forgives Dong Lingjiu so easily, he will never remember the lesson again in the future.
She loosened her hands and turned her eyes sideways, deliberately avoiding Dong Lingjiu's hot eyes when he looked at her.
"The mouth is on you, you can explain it however you like."
Seeing that Xia Tan'er's tone had returned to the same delicate tone as before, Dong Lingjiu finally let go. In order to continue coaxing Xia Tan'er, he stretched out his hand and pointed three fingers at the ceiling.
"I swear that every word is true. If anyone deceives Tan'er, I will definitely..."
"What's the deal?"
Seeing Xia Tan'er asking, Dong Lingjiu raised his eyebrows but retracted his hand. His head suddenly came to Xia Tan'er's side. His strong voice in the past was now a bit gentle and coquettish, as if he was coquettishly coquettish with Xia Tan'er. .
"Tan'er, why are you acting so unreasonably? If it had been any other woman, she would have covered my mouth to prevent me from saying what I said next."
"You are the one who made the oath yourself, so you should abide by this promise. If you break the precepts, you will be punished for what you have done. If you feel that I am ruthless and unjust, then go find someone who loves you." .”
It was the excessive backhandedness before that made Xia Tan'er fully realize how damn cheap a man is. The more you care about him, the less he will take you seriously. On the contrary, if you ignore him, you will go up. Come on, the truth that distressed men will bring bad luck is definitely not just talk.
Xia Tan'er decided that she must implement it in the future. There is no man in her heart and she should do things naturally, so that she won't be manipulated for being emotional.
"Tan'er, you know, I have never been close to any other woman except you."
"I remember Dong Lingyan can be considered a woman."
"She's just a niece, she's not as important as you."
"Hmph, a man's mouth is deceptive. What he says sounds good now, but when it comes to Dong Lingyan, it's a different story."
Dongling Jiuzhen really had nothing to do with Xia Tan'er. He even felt that sometimes a woman could save a lot of effort by being a little confused.
"It's just an expedient measure, just a show for the occasion. I swear that if I deceive Tan'er in the future, I will definitely die without a place to bury him. Is Tan'er satisfied with this?"
"I hope Uncle Nine Emperors can keep his promise. God's retribution may not be so timely sooner or later."
This little heartless guy.
Dong Lingjiu couldn't help but curse in his heart, but this little thing couldn't hide his happiness at the moment. He suddenly felt that Xia Tan'er was really much kinder to him than Xia Lingfu.
I heard that Xia Lingzhen was spanked once, and even though it hurt so much, Xia Tan'er only treated her indifferently.
"You should abide by it, you should abide by it, I guarantee it."
You still have to pamper your own woman. Dong Lingjiu tentatively pulled the corner of Xia Tan'er's clothes. Seeing that Xia Tan'er didn't respond, he gradually pulled her in until he was close to the distance they used to get along with. stopped.
"Now that we have reconciled, should Tan'er tell me what problems Lu Yihai has given you?"
"How do you know it's a problem? Did you peek at my letter?"
"That letter has been placed in front of me untouched since it was sent. If you don't believe me, you can ask the maid who sent the letter if she put it in that place."
Xia Tan'er pursed her lips and handed the letter just now into Dong Lingjiu's hand.
"The secret guards must have told you that I had a dispute with my uncle. However, looking at the content of this letter, I always feel that my uncle has an ulterior motive."
"The first two competitions are just that. They are indeed what my uncle is best at, but I always feel something is wrong with the last one. How could the Lu family's competition involve Tianheng Academy?"
This kind of thing must be something that Dongling Jiugeng is still familiar with. Instead of using up brain cells on his own, it is better to rely on the power of others to save himself the effort.
"Tianheng Academy...Tan'er, did you know that your mother is a student of Tianheng Academy?"
Dong Lingjiu put down the letter with a slightly proud smile on his lips.
"I don't know, but it sounds like Tianheng Academy is extremely powerful."
"It is indeed powerful. Looking at the Nine Provinces Continent, whether it is the generals, ministers of the four countries or the children of various aristocratic families, those who value history are all from Tianheng Academy."
Ang, this is similar to Harvard, Oxford and Stanford, specializing in celebrities.
"What about you, Uncle Nine Emperors?"
"I'm not."
"Why? You are so powerful and even called the God of War, you are not qualified to go there?"
Pleased by Xia Tan'er's confused look, Dong Lingjiu raised his head proudly.
"I don't like it."
Ouch... If the students of Tianheng Academy heard these words, wouldn't they be beaten?
"But Tan'er, you can go and give it a try. The Kyushu Festival has not started yet, so there is still time to register."
Judging from Dong Lingjiu's meaning, he must have guessed it, so Xia Tan'er continued to ask.
"So, what is Lu Yihai's purpose in letting me win the championship at the Kyushu Festival?"
"Only women in the Lu family can inherit the position of head of the family. After Mrs. Lu got married, the position of head of the Lu family has been vacant for more than twenty years."
