"Did you hear that?"
Xia Tan'er grabbed Dong Lingjiu's collar, and there was no hidden threat in the eyes that met each other.
It's rare to see Xia Tan'er be so domineering, let alone such domineering behavior in order to declare her sovereignty. Dong Lingjiu was always happy to see it, especially he hoped that Xia Tan'er would become more possessive of him. What if his wish came true? Will refuse.
"As commanded."
Xia Tan'er was very happy that this powerful man in front of her could say yes to her orders in a loving manner in front of her. She immediately gave Dong Lingjiu several more kisses.
However, after Dong Lingjiu left, Xia Tan'er realized that everything seemed too logical.
"Does this mean that two people are together? Why does it feel like there's so much confusion?"
Xia Tan'er was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it. Let nature take its course. Anyway, what should belong to me will belong to me sooner or later, and the insistence that does not belong to me will disappear. Go to sleep."
It wasn't until the sound of steady breathing sounded that Dong Lingjiu, who was guarding in the dark, left Xia Tan'er's yard.
But he did not leave the Lu Mansion. He flexibly avoided the patrolling guards in the dark night and stopped outside a room. As he raised his hand to knock on the door, he heard an extremely calm voice coming from the room.
"A distinguished guest has arrived. If you don't feel welcome from afar, please come in without being polite."
Dong Lingjiu lowered his eyes and smiled softly. He opened the door and entered. Turning around, he saw Lu Yihai sitting in front of the desk holding a military book and studying it carefully.
"I don't know that General Lu, such a scheming person, is afraid of losing to his niece."
Dong Lingjiu showed no hesitation in front of Lu Yihai that he had a close relationship with Xia Tan'er. After hearing this, Lu Yihai raised his eyes and glanced at Dong Lingjiu, then closed the book in his hand and placed it heavily on the desk.
"This general didn't know that the dignified Nine Emperors Uncle of Dongling would do such a conciliatory thing."
"Oh? What did this king do for a long time?"
Dongling Jiuyi was startled, but then he put his hands behind his back and asked Lu Yihai with a frank expression.
"Isn't it considered just to have a private meeting with a decent woman in the middle of the night?"
It turned out to be just this. Dong Lingjiu breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he really thought that Lu Yihai had discovered that the child in Xia Tan'er's belly was his.
It doesn't matter to others, but Lu Yihai has always been known for his deep thinking in the military. He is extremely wary of outsiders. There must be other purposes behind what he does, but it will not be seen through by others. It is really a bit difficult to be an opponent with such a person. trouble.
"Forget it, it's true. There is no doubt that my private meeting with Tan'er is just a casual one. However, if General Lu doesn't mind, I am willing to tell everyone tomorrow that the relationship between myself and Tan'er is not that of good friends, but just acquaintances. By then, I’m afraid it’s unclear what kind of turmoil Tan’er will fall into.”
Dong Lingjiu really learned and applied it, so he suffered a loss from Xia Tan'er and immediately used this trick on Lu Yihai. It has to be said that Xia Tan'er's trick is indeed effective. Anyone who is a human being will worry about public opinion, let alone a family like this who needs face.
Lu Yihai glanced at Dong Lingjiu, and then turned his attention back to the military book. If it were anyone else, Dong Lingjiu would definitely be punished if this arrogance and etiquette were lost, but Lu Yihai was different, yes, just because of him It's as simple as Xia Tan'er's uncle.
"Why did Uncle Nine Emperors come to this general after stealing incense and jade tonight? But he has something to discuss?"
"There is indeed something going on, more than one thing."
"Oh? Then please speak frankly, Uncle Nine Emperors, but I may not answer truthfully. Please don't blame me, Uncle Nine Emperors."
"I wonder how General Lu will be willing to answer truthfully? If the king demands the identity of the person who poisoned Mrs. Lu as a condition, will General Lu be willing?"
"The person who poisoned him? Uncle Nine Emperors will find out, and I, the general, will find out sooner or later."
"Then if I tell General Lu that I know who the biological father of the child in Tan'er's belly is, would General Lu be willing to answer?"
This truth will be exposed sooner or later. Instead of being used by others or even losing Tan'er, it is better to win over all the forces that can be attracted now, not to mention that the child is still a quarter of the Lu family's blood, so much emphasis is placed on it. Lu Yihai, who is the head of the Lu family, will never let it go.
Facts have proved that Dong Lingjiu’s conjecture was good.
After Lu Yihai was silent for a while, he looked directly into Dong Lingjiu's eyes again, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
"Whose is the child in Tan'er's belly? Who gave the medicine in the first place?"
Although this uncle looked cold and cold, in the end he still cared about Xia Tan'er.
Dong Lingjiu adjusted his mood in a breath. He was not afraid at all when faced with Lu Yihai's murderous look, but his whole face was rare and solemn.
"Whether it is now or in the future, this child's father will always be only me, and Tan'er will also be my only wife in this life."
This sentence is both an acknowledgment and a guarantee. It is Dong Lingjiu's promise to Lu Yihai.
Lu Yihai's eyes were turbulent. He expected punches and kicks to follow, but unexpectedly he took a sip of tea and looked at Dongling Jiu again?
"Did you give the drug?"
"It was not my fault. I was also poisoned at that time and became confused and obsessed for a moment. But because of the tense war, I only left a personal jade pendant and left without saying goodbye. That jade pendant is still hanging on my body now. On Tan'er's neck, General Lu can check it if he doesn't believe it."
"However, I would like to declare in advance that my sincerity towards Tan'er is a lesson to be learned."
Dongling Jiu's magnanimity was unexpected by Lu Yihai. Since he deliberately came to visit tonight, how could he make up such a lie that damages his reputation? Frankly speaking, the one he trusts most among the Dongling royal family is the one in front of him. Aventurine nine.
"When do you plan to tell Tan'er the truth?"
"Wait until the melon is ripe and the stems fall behind, then look for another opportunity."
"Why, you are still afraid that Tan'er will leave you after knowing the truth. It is not a man's behavior to tie up a woman with a child."
"I am henpecked, so before that I hope General Lu can help me hide it. I will tell you when the time comes."
After saying these words, Lu Yihai's seriousness just now disappeared.
Indeed, it's no wonder that Xia Tan'er, a tigress on the stall, is henpecked. Even he was a little frightened when he saw Xia Tan'er's aura. The previous seriousness was just a show on the surface.
Besides, it was not the daughter of his Lu family that Dongling was afraid of. This alone was enough for Lu Yihai.
Lu Yihai was happy to hear this and could accept Dong Ling Jiu. Frankly speaking, apart from Dong Ling Jiu, only Xue Chen could match Xia Tan'er in the Kyushu continent. Unfortunately, blindness was his biggest flaw. No matter how talented he was, Lu Yihai It is impossible for the family to want a blind man to be the husband of the future head of the family.
