After saying that, Tian Yu felt something was off. She looked closely at the people in front of her. Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum smiled faintly and remained silent. Tian Yu suddenly realized and said, "You're not Uncle Zhou. Are you and Uncle Zhou twins?"

"Madam has a good eye. Yes, the one in the mountain city is my elder brother."

"Madam, he is the steward here."

"Oh! Thank you for your trouble, Butler Zhou."

"Madam, you are too kind. The Marquis instructed me to take good care of you before he left, and it is my duty. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you, Butler Zhou."

"How did you figure that out, Madam? I didn't see it at all," Green Willow asked, puzzled.

"temperament!"

"Charm? What is charm? They look exactly alike!" Green Willow was even more confused. She was happy when she first arrived at the Marquis's residence and saw Steward Zhou, thinking that it was Uncle Zhou. It wasn't until the next day that she heard from others that they were brothers.

"As for temperament, how should I put it? It's all about feeling. Go back and read more books, and you'll understand." Tian Yu glanced at Green Willow and tried to explain, but she figured Green Willow probably wouldn't understand anyway, so she decided to leave it at that. In her eyes, Uncle Zhou was a steady, kind, and honest man, while the Zhou steward in front of her seemed to have a touch more shrewdness. Although they looked similar at first glance, a closer look revealed they weren't.

Upon hearing that Tian Yu was able to get out of bed, Ji Feng came to the courtyard and bowed, saying, "Madam!"

"Jifeng, is your injury better?" Tian Yu asked with concern, remembering that Jifeng's arm seemed to be injured that day as well.

"Much better, Madam, there's no need to worry."

"Don't worry, Madam. Green Willow applied the medicine herself, so everything will be fine," Qiuju said with a smile.

Tian Yu looked at Lvliu, who lowered her head and didn't speak; she must be shy.

"Yes! I must thank Miss Green Willow for the ointment," said Gale.

"Oh, that's good then," Tian Yu said with a smile.

"Madam, I have something to say."

"Okay, let's talk inside."

Tian Yu was helped back to her room by Qiu Ju and Lü Liu. After the two maids had left, Ji Feng said, "Madam, I already gave the book to the Prince the day it returned."

"Okay, how is it now?"

"These past few days, I've been investigating in the capital. The new stock sold out on the third day after it was released."

"so good?!"

"Yes, right now everyone in the capital is either discussing Madam's two books or gossiping about you and the Marquis."

"My affair with the Marquis? We haven't finished gossiping about it yet?"

"Yes!"

"Boring!"

"His Highness asked if he could take a look at the rest first," Jifeng asked hesitantly.

"No! Just tell them I haven't written it yet, and now I'm injured and it'll probably be delayed by a month."

"This!...Madam, this isn't quite right!"

"What's wrong with that? If I die that day, will he still be able to see it?"

"Yes, I will certainly convey your message."

"By the way, where did the Emperor send the Marquis?"

"This... I don't know."

"Alright, you can go now! I'm tired and want to lie down and rest for a bit." Tian Yu had been sitting for a long time and felt some discomfort in her back. Judging from Ji Feng's expression, he probably wouldn't tell her, so she didn't want to ask any further.

Tian Yu asked all the servants in the Marquis's mansion, and they all said in unison, "The Marquis has been sent out by the Emperor to handle some matters." When she tried to ask for more details, they all said they didn't know anything. It seemed very normal, but it was also a little abnormal! Moreover, the entire Marquis's mansion was surrounded by soldiers, so it wouldn't be easy to get out.

After Jifeng relayed Tian Yu's words to Prince Wu, Prince Wu was very angry, but he couldn't do anything about Tian Yu. He originally wanted to go see Tian Yu in person, but Jifeng said, "The entire Marquis's mansion has told Tian Yu that the Marquis has been sent out by the Emperor to handle official business. If Your Highness wants to go, you should think of your excuse first."

"Haven't you already told her? What else do I need to think about?"

"But no one knows where the Marquis has been sent except Your Highness."

"What?! These bastards, just like their master, are pushing all the blame onto me."

"They had no choice; they were afraid that if they said too much, they would be exposed."

"Forget it, I won't go. I'll have someone send some of the best tonics over so she can recover quickly."

"yes!"

The next day, the Marquis's residence received a pile of tonics from Prince Wu. Tian Yu asked Ji Feng, "Isn't your prince going to come and see me?"

"His Highness said he has official duties to attend to and will not disturb Madam's recovery for the time being. He hopes Madam will recover soon."

"Alright!" Tian Yu was somewhat disappointed, but also more worried. She had originally wanted to ask the Fifth Prince, but now, looking at the pile of tonics, Tian Yu instructed the servants to tidy up and slowly moved back to her room, supporting her waist.
