"Last night!"

"Huh!? Yesterday...you...came last night?" Tian Yu asked in disbelief, wondering if he had carried her back to bed.

Zhao Moyan looked up at Tian Yu without answering. Tian Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Then what I said to the princess, did you...did you hear everything?"

Zhao Moyan still didn't answer, but the look in his eyes made Tian Yu feel even more that he wanted to kill her.

Tian Yu still smiled and said, "I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. I was just trying to coax the princess! Just trying to coax her!"

"To appease the princess? To take me?"

"No! No! Listen to me, it's not what you think," Tian Yu quickly clapped her hands and shook her head to explain.

"come over!"

"It's alright, I'm fine standing here," Tian Yu said, stepping back to the doorway.

"come over!"

Seeing Zhao Moyan's expression, Tian Yu didn't dare to hesitate any longer. She quickly stood next to Zhao Moyan, poured him another cup of tea, and said with a smile, "My lord, this is just a temporary measure. If something can be resolved peacefully, we should try to resolve it peacefully. There's no need to offend anyone, right? Besides, I can also tell that the princess doesn't like you at all; she just has no other choice!"

Zhao Moyan glared at Tian Yu. Tian Yu knew he was still angry, so she quickly picked up the pastries again and said with a smile, "These are pastries I just made. Please try them, Your Highness."

Zhao Moyan didn't reach out, he just looked at Tian Yu. Tian Yu felt her smile was about to crumble, but Zhao Moyan still wouldn't look at her. Tian Yu angrily put down the pastry and said loudly, "Shouldn't I be the one who's angry? The princess is going to marry you, not me. I'm trying to help you solve this, and you're still unhappy? Fine! Since that's how it is, I don't care anymore. Tomorrow I'll take Tangyuan back, and you can marry whoever you want!"

“I told you I would handle it. Why don’t you believe me? You didn’t even inform me before coming to the capital.”

"What, shouldn't I have come?"

"yes!"

"Fine! You said it, I'm going back now." Tian Yu said angrily and turned to leave.

Zhao Moyan grabbed Tian Yu and said, "Tian Yu, whatever you want to do, you should tell me beforehand."

"Didn't I say that was because the situation was urgent?"

"You still don't believe me. What am I to you?"

Tian Yu was taken aback by the question, but quickly replied, "You're Tangyuan's father, so what do you think you are?"

"Tangyuan's father?" Zhao Moyan said with a wry smile.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you still angry?" Tian Yu asked loudly, annoyed by his behavior.

"Don't you even know why I'm angry?"

"Yes! I shouldn't have made a bet between you and the princess, and I shouldn't have gotten so close to the princess, but I did it for us. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, right? Besides, she's a princess, and we still have Tangyuan. I don't want to go back to jail, and I don't want Tangyuan to be in danger again. Isn't that right?" Tian Yu really didn't want to encounter danger again, especially since Tangyuan was here.

"So you're planning to give me to the princess!" Zhao Moyan said angrily, standing up and looking at Tian Yu.

"I didn't think that way. I told you this is just a temporary measure, don't you understand?" Tian Yu said loudly in a hurry.

"A stopgap measure?! If it comes true, how do you plan to handle the situation?"

"I don't know, but if the Marquis wants to marry the princess, I won't object."

"You! Good! Very good!"

"Will you come tomorrow?"

Zhao Moyan was so angry she wanted to kill the person in front of her. Even at a time like this, she was still thinking about tomorrow. Tian Yu also glared angrily at Zhao Moyan, waiting for him to nod. But Zhao Moyan reached out and grabbed Tian Yu's neck. Tian Yu's eyes widened, thinking Zhao Moyan was going to strangle her. But instead, Zhao Moyan tilted his head and bit Tian Yu's ear hard, only letting go when Tian Yu cried out in pain. He gave Tian Yu a deep look and left the living room without looking back. Tian Yu covered her ear and chased after him, shouting, "Are you coming tomorrow or not?!"

Zhao Moyan, who had just left the room, stopped and clenched his fists upon hearing Tian Yu's words, trying to calm himself down so he wouldn't rush back to teach Tian Yu a lesson. Tian Yu thought he was going to agree when she saw him stop, but then he picked up his foot to leave again. In her haste, Tian Yu shouted, "Suit yourself! I've invited several young masters, it's fine if you don't come!"

Zhao Moyan swayed, not wanting to linger any longer, and quickly left, afraid that he might really strangle Tian Yu in anger.

When Qiuju saw Tianyu running out with her ears covered, and then saw the Marquis leaving in a huff, she asked worriedly, "Madam, are you alright? Can't you just apologize to the Marquis properly?"

"It's nothing! Why should I admit my mistake? The mistake is his. If it weren't for him, would I need to curry favor with the princess?" Tian Yu was also very angry. The servants shook their heads and sighed when they saw this. Tian Yu saw that their expressions seemed to be blaming her, which made her even angrier. Who was she worrying and working so hard for?!
