In the restaurant, Gongye Ming and Huang Xuan exchanged a smile, and everyone suddenly realized how much the Marquis doted on his wife. Was he jealous?!

Upon arriving at the Marquis's residence, Zhao Moyan helped Tian Yu off her horse without saying a word. He then pulled Tian Yu into the house with a dark expression, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it down in one gulp, and then poured himself another cup. Tian Yu, seeing his expression, didn't know how to explain, so she sat down and poured herself a cup of tea as well.

"Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

"I...didn't you hear everything?"

Why do this?

"A stopgap measure, do you believe it?"

"Why does it have to be this way? Aren't there other methods?"

"I don't want you to get into trouble because of this again."

"I told you, I would handle it."

“I know you will, but I don’t want Tangyuan to take the risk again. Besides, even if you do marry the princess, it will be good for both of us.”

"I told you, I will not marry a princess!"

"I know, that's why I did it. You don't want them to cause trouble because of this, right?" Tian Yu said in a softer voice, seeing the fire in Zhao Moyan's eyes.

“I’ll handle this. You shouldn’t do this.”

“I know, but they are princesses and noble ladies. How can we let them go if we don’t make them give up completely? You defied the imperial decree this time, but can you do it next time? Are you going to defy the imperial decree again next time?”

"If I hadn't shown up today, how were you going to tell me? Did you even consider how I would feel?"

"I hadn't thought about it. I thought you would definitely agree for the sake of Tangyuan, right?" Tian Yu said cautiously.

"Hmph! Tangyuan again! If Chen Chong were standing here today, would you do the same?!" Zhao Moyan said, turning and leaving without waiting for Tian Yu's reply.
