However, the harmony between the two was quickly broken.
Nan Lingmu arrived outside the Lu Mansion in a carriage early in the morning, and rushed in angrily despite the Lu Mansion's servants blocking him.
"Tan'er, Xia Tan'er, where are you?"
"Who is shouting outside?"
Not many people would call her Tan'er, and the voice didn't sound like Song Lingcheng's.
Xia Tan'er was a little puzzled for a moment. She stopped drinking the porridge and looked towards the direction of the sound.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, you can't just barge in like this!"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
"Xiao Wang is here today to ask for an explanation from your young lady. What are you doing to stop me? Hurry in and report that I, Nan Ling Mu, am here."
"But, but."
"But what? Xiao Wang, I was here last time. Could it be that you forgot."
Of course Laifu knew that Nan Lingmu had been here, but just because he was here didn't mean he could freely enter and exit Lu Mansion.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to order other servants to stop Nan Lingmu and rush to report it himself.
"Little miss, little miss."
"Who is outside?"
When Xia Tan'er saw Laifu coming, she immediately asked.
"Miss Qi, this is Nanling Mu, the second prince of Nanling."
"What's he doing here?"
"I said I came here to ask you for an explanation."
"Excuse me? I don't owe him anything?" The treatment was not good, the arrow wounds on his body were healed well, and his physical strength was better than before. What kind of explanation can I come to ask for? Besides, if you should beg for help, you should also ask Magic Doctor Tan. Why did he come to her?
Xia Tan'er was very confused and couldn't figure out what was wrong after much thought.
"Laifu, please let people in first."
"Yes, little lady."
"Uncle Nine Emperors, please step aside for a moment."
Dong Lingjiu was a little unhappy. He didn't want Xia Tan'er to be alone with other men at all, especially Nan Ling Mu. Previously, Nan Ling Mu was still fighting for Xia Tan'er from him at the gate of the palace. How could he let this happen?
"I am a little curious as to what kind of explanation the Second Prince Nanling wants from you. Besides, with me here, the Second Prince Nanling will not dare to bully you."
What Dongling Jiu said did make some sense, but when I thought about it, Xia Tan'er felt something was wrong. This was in the Lu Mansion. Nan Lingmu wouldn't dare to bully her without relying on Dongling Jiu...
But before she could say anything, Nan Lingmu had already rushed in, skipping Dong Lingjiu and coming to her, lowering his head and staring at Xia Tan'er's eyebrows carefully.
"Ahem...Second...Your Highness, the Second Prince, what's wrong with you?"
This scrutinizing look made Xia Tan'er feel a little uncomfortable, and more importantly, she felt guilty.
Nan Lingmu stood up straight with his eyes narrowed, stretched out his legs and hooked a chair to sit beside Xia Tan'er.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, please step aside. Xiao Wang and Tan'er have something to discuss."
"What if I don't want to?"
Dong Lingjiu's bowl was gently thrown on the table, and he raised his eyes to face Nan Lingmu.
I have learned something from Xia Tan'er in the past few days. Whenever the other party asks you to do something, you must get some benefits for yourself. In the past, Dong Lingjiu didn't bother to bargain on small things, but now I feel that Xia Tan'er's move is indeed true. That's right, everything that needs to be used has its own value.
And every bit of value squeezed out will be very beneficial in the long run.
So Dong Lingjiu also learned this trick.
Seeing Dong Lingjiu's unwillingness, Xia Tan'er also wanted to find out the purpose of Nan Ling Mu's visit early, so she could only comfort Dong Lingjiu softly.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, would you please go back to your room first? I'll go find you and have dinner with you later?"
Dong Lingjiu didn't expect that Xia Tan'er would be the first to say it. His eyes lit up but he looked dissatisfied.
"The breakfast has gone cold, and all my hard work has been in vain."
"Then what do you want me to do, Uncle Nine Emperors?"
It was obvious that Dong Lingjiu did not agree with this price. Instead of randomly increasing the price, it was better to explore the other party's bottom line, which would be more convenient for bargaining.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Then let's put this request aside for now, okay?"
"No, what if Tan'er forgets later?"
"Look, the Second Prince of Nanling is still here for certification. Even if I forget you two, I won't forget you two."
After receiving Xia Tan'er's assurance, Dong Lingjiu reluctantly stood up.
"Just this once, it won't happen next time. If Nan Ling Mu hurts you, Tan'er, just shout for help. I will be standing not far away."
