"But I'm still going to refuse your kindness."

"Why? Or is it because you take care of the child in your womb? ”

Xia Tan'er shook her head, but after realizing that Xue Chen couldn't see it, she hurriedly opened her mouth to deny.

"No, although having connections is also an ability of my own, it is not ashamed to rely on you to enter Tianheng Academy, but as the niece of the Lu family, I am bound to use my own strength to win this ticket at the Kyushu Festival, and winning the competition of the Kyushu Festival is the root of my winning bet, not entering Tianheng Academy."

"And if you really want to be the best among women, relying on men is too unconvincing, and it is a little untenable to be an example for other women in the future."

Xia Tan'er's belief has always been absolute strength, because only herself and money are the most reliable in this world.

Xue Chen nodded when he heard this, and his tone of reply contained a little apology.

"What you're saying is that I thought too little about it, thinking that you only need to achieve this goal is enough, and I didn't think about this level."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Childe, you can pass the meal."

"Tan'er is hungry, let's go to the hall to eat first, and then I will have time to have a deep chat with you later."

"Okay, I'll hold you."

Xia Tan'er got up and walked in front of Xue Chen, but Kankan avoided his hand and held his arm, slowly leading Xue Chen out.

At the other end, inside the Nine Kings' Mansion.

Tanglin Jiu was sitting at his desk reviewing the official documents that had been shelved for the past few days.

Suddenly, a black and swarthy thing suddenly smashed over, and Tanglin Jiu's body dodged, and the black and swarthy thing smashed on the ground.

Before Dongling Jiu could react, Feng Muchi hugged his hands on the back of his head and walked in with an unhappy expression.

"Nine Emperor Uncle, why don't you catch it."

Dongling Jiu glanced at Feng Muchi, and then looked at the ground, only to find that the black thing just now was a small gourd made of ebony.

As soon as he snapped his fingers, a secret guard suddenly appeared, picked up the small gourd on the ground, and sent it to Tanglin Jiu respectfully.

"Gourd? What's in it? ”

"Medicine, Tan'er asked me to ask the valley master for the medicine he brought to you."

"Medicine?"

Tanglin Jiuhu glanced at Feng Muchi suspiciously, lifted the lid of the gourd and poured out the pills inside.

"What for?"

"Tan'er said, I'm afraid that you will be drugged at the banquet like her at the spring banquet, for example, Xiling Mo or something, when you don't prepare for the overlord, you will be forced to bow hard, so I specially asked the valley master to prepare an antidote to that medicine for you, just in case."

When Tanglin Jiuyi heard this, he couldn't help but smile gently.

It turns out that Tan'er cares about him so much, too, this kind of thing is prepared.

"That's all Tan'er said, and nothing else?"

"I also said that if you really have adultery with other women, she will cut off your children and grandchildren and make you inhumane."

The corners of Dongling Jiu's mouth twitched, Xia Tan'er really didn't shy away from Feng Muchi at all, and she told him this kind of thing.

"Ahem."

Tanglin Jiuqing coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment at the moment.

"In this case, Tan'er has already arrived in the imperial city, did she go to the Lu Mansion or to the prison?"

"Neither."

Speaking of this, Feng Muchi couldn't help but sigh, pulled over a chair and collapsed directly to the top in frustration.

"Tan'er went to the other courtyard and said that he wanted to check how Xue Chen was recovering, what did you say that Tan'er and Xue Chen were so close, and they didn't have anything of value on them. Tan'er also said that in case others suspect it, he has been living in a separate courtyard until the end of the Kyushu Festival in the past few days, and Uncle Nine Emperor said that Tan'er is not angry. “
