Lu Jiuqing was sitting relaxedly on the chair, Chen Yuan stood behind him with a cold face, and Xia Ying stood near the door.

Tang Xiuyan was frightened by Chen Yuan. Although he looked evil, he stood at the door and did not dare to come in. He only dared to threaten him verbally.

Lu Jiuqing waited for him to finish scolding, then said slowly: "Really? Then what are you going to do with me? Divorce me?"

Tang Xiuyan gritted his teeth: "Don't think I dare not."

Lu Jiuqing sneered: "Yes, you don't dare."

Tang Xiuyan: "..."

"I, Lu Jiuqing, devoted all my efforts to your studies and helped you in the imperial examinations, and your reputation spread throughout the academic world. As soon as you became rich and powerful, you divorced your wife. What do you think others will think of you?"

"..."

Tang Xiuyan had a cold face and said nothing. Lu Jiuqing's every word touched his sore spot.

It was because the matter between him and Lu Jiuqing was too high-profile that he was currently riding a tiger.

If it weren't for these reasons, he wouldn't have married Lu Jiuqing at all.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiuyan had some complaints against Lu Menghua in his heart. If Lu Menghua had been as desperate to help him as Lu Jiuqing, then he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now.

Tang Xiuyan closed his eyes, recovered his complicated emotions, and asked Lu Jiuqing in a deep voice: "What's going on with these two people?"

Lu Jiuqing: "My people, they will also serve me by my side in the future."

Tang Xiuyan looked at the two people with wide eyes, especially Chen Yuan who almost cut his neck just now.

"You want to keep them at home? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"What do you think this place is? Is this a shelter? Bring all the messy things home."

"Lu Jiuqing, are you crazy? Before you do anything, have you ever asked me, the head of the family?"

Lu Jiuqing: "..."

Head of the family?

These four words made Lu Jiuqing feel extremely sick.

Lu Jiuqing pointed at Chen Yuan beside him: "She, Chen Yuan, will be mine from now on. She will be wherever I am, and no one can drive her away."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Ying next to him: "She..."

I was stuck for a while and didn’t know how to introduce it.

Xia Ying smiled sweetly, revealing two small dimples, looking unusually harmless.

"I am Xia Ying. His Highness the Ninth Prince is worried about the girl, so he specially asked me to take care of her. My food and clothing are all paid for by the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and I don't need a penny from the Number One Scholar. Don't worry."

Lu Jiuqing: "...Yes, that's it."

Tang Xiuyan's originally arrogant arrogance suddenly weakened after Xia Ying revealed her identity.

He twitched the corners of his somewhat stiff mouth and said to Xia Ying, "His Highness asked you to come...Does Your Highness not trust me?"

Xia Ying smiled and said nothing.

Tang Xiuyan took a deep breath and said dryly: "Of course, His Highness has his reasons for doing things."

He turned to look at Chen Yuan who was beside Lu Jiuqing, and said calmly to Lu Jiuqing: "Of course, His Highness's people can stay, and this is what they should do. But this barbarian next to you must not stay."

"This is the Number One Scholar's Mansion. If I say she can't stay, I absolutely can't stay."

Lu Jiuqing: "This is not only the Number One Scholar's Palace, this is also my home, right?"

"But this is not a place where you can run wild," Tang Xiuyan said calmly, "I don't agree with you keeping her."

Lu Jiuqing also said calmly: "I don't need your consent to keep her. Don't worry, all her expenses will be taken from me and won't cost you a penny."
