Dong Lingjiu's eyes were burning, and his sharp eyes declared his possessiveness towards Xia Tan'er.
Just kidding, what if the grand niece of the Lu family goes to worship in someone else's ancestral hall? The Xue family's intention is obvious. Doesn't this mean to kidnap Xia Tan'er back home to become the mistress of the Xue family!
But just because she saw the meaning in Dong Ling Jiu's eyes, Xia Tan'er was very unhappy. Whether she was a member of Dong Ling Jiu or not, and whether she wanted to let Dong Ling Jiu possess it or not was decided by herself and not by Dong Ling Jiu. Besides, a person who didn't The person who puts her first has no business saying that.
"Why are you not allowed to go? Uncle Nine Emperors, you seem to be too lenient."
Xia Tan'er's words were light but powerful. As soon as the words came out, Lu Yihai and Feng Muchi immediately found a reason to hide in the Lu Mansion. However, they preferred to listen to gossip. As soon as they came out, they saw Yu Wenyue, who had no eyesight. Still standing there stupidly motionless.
"Basi~Basi~General Yuwen, General Yuwen."
The more Yuwen heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Feng Muchi hiding behind the door waving towards him. Yuwen became more confused and looked at Xia Tan'er and then at Feng Muchi. After much deliberation, he decided to go to Feng Muchi. That end.
"I wonder what business Young Master Feng has with me, General?"
"You are blind and didn't see that these two people had something to say. You still go forward to join in the fun at this time. If you get involved later, we won't be able to save you."
"Those two people? You mean Uncle Nine Emperors and Miss Tan'er? Why do they have something to say... Ang!"
As soon as Yu Wenyue finished speaking, he understood immediately, with a frightened and gossipy look in his eyes.
"You mean, Miss Tan'er and Uncle Nine Emperors..." secretly communicating? The ex-uncle and the ex-niece-in-law are together?
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Muchi.
"Hey, we didn't say anything. That's what you thought."
Feng Muchi didn't dare to be the person who spread the gossip. He simply couldn't imagine how Xia Tan'er would punish him if she knew he was the source of the news.
Having said that, Yu Wenyue still understood.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Feng, for calling me into the house. Otherwise, I would have really offended Miss Tan'er without knowing it."
"It's easy to talk about."
Feng Muchi waved his hand and glanced at Yuwen Yue. Yuwen Yue understood and immediately walked around behind the door, squeezing a position between the other two people. The three people lined up with their heads up and down, not wanting to miss the drama in front of them.
Dong Lingjiu's voice suddenly softened due to Xia Tan'er's words.
He knew that Xia Tan'er had always been a soft-spoken person who was unreasonable in protecting her shortcomings and did not recognize emotions but only reason. If he had a tough attitude, he would probably arouse Xia Tan'er's resentment, so he could only be two people. The one who took the initiative to go down the steps.
"Tan'er, it's not that this king is too lenient, but do you know what it means for children of aristocratic families to offer sacrifices to their ancestors?"
"Didn't Yu Wenyue just say that in order to ensure that Xue Chen's operation can go smoothly, what's wrong with human nature?"
Xia Tan'er is not a superstitious person, but she has seen it a lot in the hospital. The prayers in the hospital are more pious than in the temple. What kind of sustenance do the family members who long for the recovery of their loved ones have? Xia Tan'er no longer I can't understand it.
Therefore, it is normal for the head of the Xue family to open an ancestral temple to offer sacrifices. The ultimate purpose of calling her there is not to bless Xue Chen's safe recovery. I really don't know what the nine urgent matters in Dongling are.
"Then do you know who can participate in the sacrifice?"
"Of course they are members of the Xue family."
"But the head of the Xue family asked you to go because he wanted you to become a member of the Xue family."
"Don Lingjiu, are you thinking too much? Didn't Yuwen Yue make it clear just now?"
Xia Tan'er didn't know what to say about Dongling Jiu. The mistress of the aristocratic family wanted a clean family background. She was already pregnant and had been excluded from the list of candidates for the mistress. What was there to worry about.
"I have never thought too much about it. You don't know that the Xue family once said that if there is someone who can cure Xue Chen, half of the Xue family can be obtained."
"So what? I have already made it clear to Xue Chen in black and white. I only need the medical fee and nothing else. If you don’t give it to me, then there is nothing left to talk about between you and me.”
Xia Tan'er showed a hint of disappointment. She suddenly felt that being with Dong Lingjiu was really tiring. It was as if there was an invisible restriction that restricted her freedom. She really didn't want to be blocked by Dong Lingjiu and have to explain to him when she did anything.
In this case, it is really not as comfortable as being alone.
But how could Dong Lingjiu be any better? The six characters "nothing to talk about" seemed to have become his nightmare. Every time Xia Tan'er said it, his heart would tremble and then ache.
He knew that he had stepped on Xia Tan'er's bottom line, and if he didn't give in, he was afraid that Xia Tan'er would say even crueler words. Dongling Jiudu regretted not protecting Xia Tan'er immediately in front of everyone.
When Xia Tan'er became strong, he could only become weaker. Dong Lingjiu lowered his voice and patiently coaxed Xia Tan'er.
"Tan'er, I don't distrust you, but I am worried that you will be criticized if you go to Xue's house."
Seeing that Xia Tan'er's aura was no longer as tense as before after hearing this, Dong Lingjiu knew that he was on the right track and continued to persuade softly.
"Do you think that Xue Chen has already attracted the attention of Jiuzhou Continent, and there are so many women who like him. If you go to the Xue family to worship in a grand manner, how can such a big event be covered up tightly? If you meet someone who is interested in adding fuel to the fire, then you will be jealous. If it spreads, three people will become tigers, and you can't explain it clearly even if you have a hundred mouths."
Dong Lingjiu sometimes had to lament that he, a taciturn person who cherished words like gold, could be forced to become a chatterbox in front of Xia Tan'er.
"Besides, you are pregnant, and others like Dongling talk a lot. How will outsiders view you and the Lu family?"
In order to persuade Xia Tan'er, he even used the child in his belly. Dong Lingjiu felt that as long as he could persuade Xia Tan'er, he could put the rest aside.
Sure enough, Xia Tan'er was really shaken after hearing Dong Lingjiu's thorough analysis.
"You're right, I didn't think carefully about this matter."
"I want to bear this reputation for your own sake. Since you can't reply to the Xue family, I will do it for you. What do you think, Tan'er?"
Dong Lingjiu had to lament that he was really getting better and better as he lived. Who among the thousands of people in the three armies dared to disobey his orders? But when he came to Xia Tan'er, he had to discuss it with her. That's all. Who told him to do so? She is doting on Xia Tan'er.
"That's fine, I owe you a favor and I'll pay you back later."
"What kind of relationship is there between you and me?"
It's best not to pay back, the more you owe, the deeper you owe, and in the end you have to pay it back with yourself, Dong Lingjiu thought.
