As the group arrived at the gate of the Marquis's residence, Li Xingyun said with a smile, "Tian Yu, are you sure you can handle this? Don't give yourself away!"

Tian Yu rolled her eyes and glared at him, saying, "Don't worry! I can still act like a lady!" After saying that, she straightened her clothes and stood up straight.

Zhao Moyan smiled and said, "It's alright with me here, relax!"

"How many people are outside?" Tian Yu asked.

The housekeeper said, "There are probably several dozen people!"

Tian Yu asked in surprise, "So many!?"

"There are far fewer than yesterday; they are all literati and scholars from the capital who want to catch a glimpse of the lady's beauty."

"Okay! I'm ready, open the door!"

The gates of the Marquis's residence opened, and a large group of people at the entrance all turned to look. Tang Wenli and Fang Jue, who were standing at the front, looked familiar, and Tang Yuan had mentioned them before, but no one else was recognized. As Zhao Moyan and Tian Yu's group walked out of the Marquis's residence, everyone stood at attention and bowed respectfully.

Tian Yu and Zhao Moyan also bowed to them. Tian Yu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm new to the capital and don't know any etiquette. I've been neglectful and ask for your forgiveness."

"Madam is unwell and should not overexert herself. Please forgive her," Zhao Moyan apologized.

"Is this the same Mrs. Tian whom Mr. Jiang addressed as 'Mr.' as an exception?"

"Mr. Jiang, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary woman and I cannot accept such praise."

"I heard this poem was also written by Mr. Tian!?" Tang Wenli asked, taking out the poem Zhao Moyan had written yesterday, his eyes subtly glancing at Li Xingyun in the wheelchair.

"Lord Tang, my wife was unwell yesterday, so I wrote this poem on her behalf for your appreciation. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"My lord, you misunderstand. Brother Fang and I received this poem yesterday and admired it very much. Although we have already met Mr. Tian in the palace, we still wanted to visit him. Mr. Tian is broad-minded and his writing is elegant and overflowing, which is beyond our reach."

"Mr. Tian is truly a celestial being to write such verses; we are far beyond his reach," Fang Jue said, cupping his hands in greeting.

After being showered with compliments, Tian Yu didn't know how to respond and could only smile and say, "You flatter me!"

Then came a barrage of questions from a group of scholars, which Tian Yu answered with a smile. As the questions increased and the discussion became more intense, Tian Yu found herself struggling to keep up.

Zhao Moyan noticed that Tian Yu seemed tired, so he stepped forward and explained, "Everyone, my wife was seriously injured on her way to the capital. She is not fit to stand or sit for long. I hope you will understand. Perhaps we can discuss this with you all another day when she is feeling better."

“We have been rude. We had heard that Mr. Tian was attacked and seriously injured on his way to the capital. We should not have disturbed him. Now that we have the honor of meeting Mr. Tian in person, we should leave first and let Mr. Tian rest well,” said one of the older men.

“Yes, in that case, Mr. Tian should rest more. We can discuss it together another time.” Someone else chimed in. Tian Yu coughed a few times to show that she was indeed weak, and Zhao Moyan took the opportunity to support her.

Seeing that it was inappropriate for everyone to stay any longer, they all said their goodbyes and left. Tian Yu repeatedly promised that she would definitely have a good get-together with everyone in the future, and promised that the updates of the two books would not stop. In the end, only Tang Wenli and Fang Jue remained. Tian Yu smiled and said to them, "I want to thank you two for taking care of Tangyuan that day."

"I also want to thank Lord Tang for taking care of my son." Zhao Moyan and Tian Yu bowed to them in gratitude.

“Lord Marquis, Mr. Tian, ​​you’re too kind. It’s my duty, there’s no need to be so polite,” Tang Wenli said.

"Tangyuan, come here and bow to the two gentlemen."

"Tangyuan greets both gentlemen and thanks you for your care."

“My lord, Mr. Tian is too kind. My brother Fang and I have come uninvited today, which is already a disturbance. Since Mr. Tian is unwell, my brother Fang and I will take our leave now,” Tang Wenli said. Tian Yu felt that she was finally going to be free.

Fang Jue stood still and suddenly asked, "I've heard that Mr. Tian is from Shancheng?"

“Yes, Mr. Fang, what can I do for you?” Tian Yu replied.

"I would not presume to offer guidance. My ancestral home is also there, but I have never heard of you, sir."

“I am a peasant woman who never leaves the house, so it is normal that you have never heard of me. If it weren’t for the Marquis, I’m afraid no one would know that I exist.”

"How could Mr. Tian's literary talent be buried?"

"Mr. Fang, you flatter me. These were all left by our ancestors; I merely borrowed them!"

"I have the utmost respect for Mr. Tian's magnanimity," Fang Jue said, bowing deeply.

Tian Yu was dumbfounded. Didn't they say they wouldn't disturb him? What was going on here? Tian Yu wanted to reach out to help Fang Jue, but Zhao Moyan stepped in first and helped Fang Jue up, saying, "Mr. Fang, you're too kind. There's no need for such a grand gesture. My wife can't accept it."

"My apologies, I was too excited and lost my manners."

Tian Yu smiled faintly and remained silent, inwardly shouting, "Brother, just leave already! Stop talking to me in this flowery language; I really want to go back and lie down." Seeing Fang Jue about to speak again, Tian Yu couldn't help but feign a cough, thus interrupting his question.

But Tang Wenli turned to look at Li Xingyun in the wheelchair and asked, "Brother Li!? Long time no see!"

"Brother Tang, it's been a long time," Li Xingyun said with a smile.

“That day I thought… well, since you’ve come to the capital, just ask if you need anything,” Tang Wenli said.

"Thank you very much, Brother Tang!"

Your legs?

"It's broken!"

"It is our Tang family that has wronged you."

"Brother Tang, what are you saying? It's all in the past, I've forgotten about it."

"My younger sister..."

"Brother Tang, let bygones be bygones! I came to the capital this time to accompany my younger sister, and I have no other intentions!" Li Xingyun said to Tian Yu.

"Is she...is she your sister?"

"Yes! My mother recognized her."

"So that's how it is! No wonder you had a little sister!"

"Thank you for your help!"

"No need! I didn't do anything, I was just stating the facts!"

"I'll visit you another day to express my gratitude!" Li Xingyun said.

"Brother Li, you're too kind. It's I who should be the one paying you a visit!"

Tian Yu noticed Li Xingyun's discomfort and waved loudly, "Brother, Tangyuan is looking for you."

"I understand. Brother Tang, I won't see you off since you have other matters to attend to today," Li Xingyun said, cupping his hands in greeting.

After saying that, Tian Yu pushed Li Xingyun back to the Marquis's residence. Tang Wenli looked worried, while Fang Jue's eyes shone. They watched the gate of the Marquis's residence slowly close before leaving.

Just as Tian Yu sat down to have a sip of tea, someone from the palace came and ordered her to go to the palace immediately to see the Imperial Concubine. Tian Yu went back to her room to tidy up and then followed the person from the palace to the palace. Zhao Moyan was worried, but the person from the palace said that only Tian Yu was to be seen and that no one else needed to come along. Tian Yu realized that this was someone who was there to cause trouble, so she stopped Zhao Moyan. But as soon as they left, Zhao Moyan also rode away from the Marquis's residence.
