Tian Yu reached out her hand to grab him, but then slowly lowered it. She sat at the table for a long time, not understanding why Zhao Moyan said that, why he brought up Chen Chong. Was he jealous? Angry? Or resentful? She was doing it for their own good; at least this way, no one would be punished, and they would have enough time to think of other ways to resolve the matter. Why should he be angry? She wasn't even angry yet!

Zhao Moyan hasn't returned since he left. When asked, the housekeeper said he didn't know either, but that he might have gone to the military camp. Thinking that they were moving out tomorrow, Tian Yu told Qiu Ju and Lü Liu to pack a few things. The group looked at Tian Yu strangely, and Lü Liu asked anxiously, "What does Madam mean? Are you leaving again?"

"No, it's just that I'm going to stay in a courtyard in the suburbs for a while."

"Did Mother and Father quarrel?" Tangyuan asked curiously.

"Speak, what is it now?" Li Xingyun put down his teacup and asked.

"It's nothing serious, just a bet I made with the princess," Tian Yu explained.

"What kind of bet?" the group asked in unison.

So Tian Yu recounted her visit to the palace that day. As soon as she finished speaking, Green Willow said, "No wonder the Marquis dragged his wife back in a huff and left in a huff. Madam, you've really angered the Marquis this time."

"Really?!" Tian Yu looked at them in confusion.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Even Xuan Yu, who rarely expressed his opinion, nodded in agreement when Tian Yu looked at him. Then Qiu Ju pulled Lü Liu to go back to the house to pack their luggage. As they left, Qiu Ju said, "Madam, you should apologize to the Marquis as soon as possible."

The others nodded in agreement, and Li Xingyun said to the two maids who were about to leave, "Pack my luggage too."

"You should stay at the Marquis's residence. It's more convenient for you here, and you won't have to move around," Tian Yu said to Li Xingyun.

"You've already left, what am I supposed to do here? Just endure Zhao Moyan's disdain?"

"He won't!"

“He wouldn’t have done that before, but now that you’ve treated him like this, how can I, as his older brother, have the face to stay!”

Tian Yu felt a little guilty after what they said, and looked at Tang Yuan, saying, "Tang Yuan, do you also think that Mother went too far?"

Tangyuan doesn't think it's excessive. At least this way, Mother won't be punished, and the princess won't cause trouble anymore. It's just that Father will feel wronged.

“Tangyuan understands her mother best,” Tian Yu said with a smile, pinching Tangyuan’s cheek.

"But if the princess really gets together with father, do we really have to leave him?"

"Don't worry! Mother won't let anyone take your father away."

"Tangyuan trusts Mother, so tomorrow Tangyuan will go with Mother, and we'll also bring Brother Xuanyu and Maorong," Tangyuan said happily.

"good!"

Zhao Moyan did not appear until Tian Yu left the next day. With the help of the princess and the servants sent by Prince Wu to keep watch, Tian Yu and her party quickly arrived at Prince Wu's private residence in the suburbs. Ji Feng and several servants were waiting at the gate. When Lv Liu got out of the carriage and saw Ji Feng, she lowered her head shyly. Tian Yu smiled faintly and remained silent, looking up at the plaque of the courtyard, "Qin Yuan". Led by Ji Feng, Tian Yu took a short walk around the courtyard. Although it was not as large as the Marquis's mansion, it was fresh and elegant and could be considered a good place to stay.

Back in the living room, Tian Yu smiled and said to Ji Feng, "How could the Prince bear to let you go back again?"

"Your Highness means that you are afraid the princess will cause trouble for the madam again, so it would be better to let me stay. In addition, Your Highness said that the princess has been spoiled since childhood and has always been indulged. She was just unable to accept being rejected this time. If she does anything unreasonable to the madam, Your Highness will find another way to help her get revenge. I hope the madam will not hold it against the princess."

"It's nothing. Your princess is just too naive and made some bad friends, that's why she did this." After these two incidents, Tian Yu realized that Wu Ling'er was just a clueless, silly girl, and that most of her bad ideas were given by Li Weiwei and her concubine aunt.

"Your Highness thanks Madam on behalf of the Prince."

"No need to thank me! Your prince usually seems aloof, but he seems quite attentive to this little princess."

"The prince grew up with the princess, so he is naturally closer to her."

“No wonder. I also heard that the Prince’s birth mother died early and the Empress adopted the Prince.”

"Yes!"

As Tian Yu had expected, Li Weiwei was with the princess in her palace. After hearing the servant's report, she happily said to the princess, "Princess, it seems that the Marquis doesn't care much about Tian Yu. Look, when she left the Marquis's mansion today, the Marquis didn't even show up. It seems he can't wait for her to leave."

"Yes! Why didn't Brother Mo Yan see me off?" Wu Ling'er asked in confusion.

"I think it's most likely that the Marquis doesn't like her at all. It's just that she keeps pestering him, and the Marquis is deeply in love with her and has no choice but to accept it. Princess, your chance has come. Tomorrow we will go to the Marquis's residence to visit him and show him some care. What do you think?"

"Yes! Weiwei is right. We'll go to the Marquis's residence to visit Brother Moyan tomorrow."

"Princess, rest assured. As a princess, the Marquis is rightfully yours. I will definitely find a way to help you win him over."

"Okay! Thank you, Vivi."

Meanwhile, in the military camp on the other side, Prince Wu and Zhao Moyan were sitting together, staring intently at each other. Prince Wu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Tian Yu has already left and is now at my villa in the suburbs."

"How much?"

"Not for sale!"

"Then what do you want?"

"I don't want anything!"

"So what do you mean?"

"The lady has left. Why didn't you even see her off? Are you really that careless?"

"This is between us, it's none of your business."

"That's true, but she's living in my yard now."

"Tell me, what will it take for you to give it to me?"

"I already said, it's not for sale!"

"If Your Highness has nothing else, please leave. I have other matters to attend to."

“You’re stingy. Here you go.” Prince Wu said, taking out the land deed for the villa and placing it on the table.

After Zhao Moyan took the land deed and confirmed it, he said, "I cannot accept a reward without merit. I will pay double the amount and have the steward deliver it to the Prince's residence."

"Suit yourself. If you insist on giving it to me, I can't stop you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"I just felt sorry for you, being used as a wager by two women," Prince Wu said with a smile.

Rebuked by Prince Wu's words, Zhao Moyan became even angrier. He knew that Prince Wu was there to laugh at him, but he still couldn't control his anger. He was furious that Tian Yu had left without sending anyone to look for him. He wondered if she still cared about him. He clenched his fists in anger, then relaxed them, then clenched them again. After calming himself down several times, he said with a cold smile, "Your Highness doesn't need to pity me. Sooner or later, you will have your day too. I hope Your Highness won't hurt yourself by then."

"I will not be like you. By the way, I have sent Gale to another residence. You can stay in the military camp in peace." After saying that, Prince Wu stood up, waved his hand, and swaggered away from the military camp.

Zhao Moyan gripped the land deed tightly, feeling like he wanted to strangle Tian Yu. She didn't want the guards he sent, but she was quite comfortable using the prince's guards! Who was her real husband anyway!
