On the other side of the cell, when Dong Lingjiu rushed over, he didn't realize that the whole cell was empty inside and outside. Even the door of the cell was open. He was so focused on Xia Tan'er that he completely ignored what he saw. everything.
However, when he entered, he saw Xia Tan'er stretching out her hand through the cell door to reach for the food box that was placed nearby. Dongling Jiujianzhi immediately rushed over and handed the food box to Xia Tan'er. In his hands.
"Tan'er, you...why are you in prison?"
Dong Lingjiu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes as the smell of blood in the cell hit his face. Thinking that it was Dong Lingyan who had sent Xia Tan'er to this cell, Dong Lingjiu suddenly became murderous.
"You've come here. You don't know the reason why I'm in prison."
Xia Tan'er didn't bother to look at Dong Lingjiu. All she could think about now was the pork ribs in the food box. Now she was eating enough for two people, plus she had worked hard for a long time just now. God knows how bad those few pieces of osmanthus cake were. She was very hungry, but luckily Dong Lingjiu came in time, otherwise she would have fainted due to hypoglycemia.
Hearing Xia Tan'er's emotionless words, Dong Lingjiu was silent for a second, and then cautiously opened his mouth to test.
"Well... I only found out about it later. I didn't know it before. Tan'er, are you angry with me?"
Xia Tan'er didn't even raise her head. She picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. Someone said that although the smell of blood was strong, it didn't matter as soon as the ribs entered her mouth.
"Angry, what do I have to be angry about? As an uncle, I feel sorry for my niece's safety. It's only natural that I order the county magistrate to help take care of her. What do I have to be angry about?"
Xia Tan'er was indeed telling the truth, and she had guessed a long time ago that Dong Lingjiu would secretly protect Dong Lingyan. Although he was cold, he was a person who attached great importance to family ties.
But Xia Tan'er's words changed when they reached Dong Lingjiu's ears. He had heard it from Song Lingcheng before. Women have always been duplicitous. They say they don't want it but they actually want it in their hearts. They say they don't want to be angry in their hearts. I can't tell you how unhappy I am.
In addition, this time Dong Lingyan insulted Xia Tan'er first, and the people he sent to protect Dong Lingyan were behind. Adding up the pieces, based on Dong Lingjiu's past experience, Xia Tan'er must be in trouble this time. He was so angry that he stayed in the cell and refused to come out.
No matter what, admit your mistake first.
Dong Ling Jiu very carefully tugged on Xia Tan'er's sleeves, and her dark eyes once again revealed a glimmer of hope.
"Tan'er, I'm wrong. I really didn't expect what happened today. I didn't protect Dong Lingyan unkindly. I had an excessive explanation with the county magistrate before. Maybe the county magistrate misunderstood It is the king’s will to do whatever he says and do evil according to Dongling.”
"You can forgive me one more time. I promise you won't do it again."
"What's wrong with Uncle Nine Emperors? Uncle Nine Emperors just did a common thing. Who am I to question Uncle Nine Emperors?"
Xia Tan'er casually responded to Dong Lingjiu while eating, but her words changed their taste in Dong Lingjiu's ears.
Song Lingcheng explained that whenever a woman follows this sentence after a man admits his mistake, it means that the anger in the woman's heart has not been cleared, and because the man admits his mistake, it will tend to get worse. At this moment, you must be careful. If you coax again, don't be bold and confident thinking that you have already asked for forgiveness.
