"Yes! What a pity!"

"What's a pity? It's a good thing that Miss Tang didn't marry him, otherwise it would be a waste of a beauty."

"That's true. Nowadays, the eldest daughter of the Tang family and the eldest son of the Zuo family are a match made in heaven."

"Exactly! If you ask me, Li Xingyun shouldn't have come back at all; he just made a fool of himself!"

"Brother Wang, Brother Zhou, I'm late. Guess who I saw on the way?"

"who?"

"Li Xingyun! The young imperial physician who was rejected by the Tang family back then."

"Who did I think it was? We're talking about that right now."

"What good will it do for a cripple to come back? He'll just be asking for trouble."

"That's right. What good is being good-looking? You're still a useless person."

The next words were even harsher. Tian Yu had Green Willow cover Tangyuan's ears. Judging from the voices, there were probably three people. Tian Yu saw that Li Xingyun was sitting still but his hands were already clenched into fists. Tian Yu couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up and went out the door, ready to teach them a lesson.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a group of people kicking it open and rushing in. The princess intercepted them. Princess Wu Ling'er and her servants rushed in and gave the three of them a good beating. Tian Yu could only stand by the door and watch the scene unfold.

"Who are you calling a cripple? Today, I, the princess, will make all three of you cripples!"

A group of people were punching and kicking three people, while the princess shouted from the side, "Hit them! Beat them up hard for this princess!"

"Princess, why are you so angry? They're talking about Li Xingyun, what are you so upset about?" Li Weiwei comforted her from the side.

The princess turned around and saw Tian Yu standing outside the door. Ignoring Li Weiwei, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Tian Yu! You're here too. These people were saying bad things about Doctor Li. I'll have the servants teach them a lesson."

"Well done, I thank the princess on behalf of my brother."

"You're welcome. Are you alone?"

"No! My brother is here too, does the princess want to come along?" Tian Yu pointed to the room next door. At this moment, Tangyuan and Lvliu Xuanyu had already curiously poked their heads out to look at this room.

"Okay! Let's do it together."

"Is the princess going to have dinner with Tian Yu?" Li Weiwei asked in surprise.

"Yes! Weiwei, you come too. Alright! I'll let you off the hook for today, but if I hear you gossiping about others behind their backs again, I won't let you off the hook."

The three of them, their faces bruised and swollen, knelt on the ground begging for mercy. Only then did the princess happily pull Li Weiwei and Tian Yu into their private room to eat together.

Li Xingyun didn't say a word from beginning to end, and didn't even glance at the princess. Tian Yu could only smile apologetically and try to smooth things over, but Li Weiwei was fanning the flames from the side, as if afraid that things weren't serious enough.

"Doctor Li has quite the nerve. It's one thing to not bow to the princess, but he doesn't even bow to the princess. And with this attitude, he's simply arrogant."

Seeing no one respond, only the princess tugged at her sleeve to tell her to stop talking, but she was still going on and continued, "Princess, you are a princess of the Wu Kingdom, how can you mingle with these people? We'd better leave as soon as possible. Look at these servants, so unruly. How can they sit at the same table as their master? Your Highness, you mustn't be corrupted by them."

"Tian Yu, Weiwei is just being straightforward, please don't mind her."

"It's okay. There are always some people in this world who only have mouths but no brains. It's understandable."

"Who are you talking about?!" Li Weiwei stood up angrily and pointed at Tian Yu.

"You're a brainless person! Are you?" Tian Yu said with a smile.

Everyone else laughed, but Li Weiwei felt embarrassed. The princess pulled her to sit down, and she could only glare at Tian Yu in anger.

Tian Yu smiled and said, "Eat your food! Don't look at me so affectionately, I'm not your lover."

"You! You! Tian Yu, you just wait!" Li Weiwei said, and left with her people without waiting for permission.

"Weiwei, don't go!" The princess tried to stop her, but she couldn't.

“My dear Li sister, I’m waiting for you!” Tian Yu said loudly with a smile.

Li Weiwei, who was walking away in anger, almost fell down the stairs.

"Tian Yu, you've upset Weiwei," the princess said, feigning anger.

"Really? She seems quite happy."

“Vivi has never used this tense before,” the princess said with a laugh.

"The princess was happy to see her make a fool of herself?"

"No, that's not it! It's just that Weiwei has always been very well-behaved and knowledgeable. Everyone likes her, and it's rare to see her be so rude as she is today, unlike me..." The princess looked at everyone embarrassedly and lowered her head to say.

"I can tell, the princess is the one who likes to cause trouble, while Li Weiwei is the sensible one?" Tian Yu said bluntly.

"I...I don't usually cause trouble, it's just...it's just..."

"I just can't stand it. I like people like the princess who are so immature!"

The princess instantly cheered up again, but Tian Yu then asked, "But does the princess know who those three people were?"

"I'm not sure!"

"Looks like you'll be that troublemaking princess again tomorrow."

"If I'm not mistaken, all three of them must be high-ranking officials in the court." Tian Yu had seen their clothes, which didn't look like what commoners wore, and those who knew Li Xingyun must be high-ranking officials who frequently visited the palace.

"You mean, Father will scold me again tomorrow?"

"Maybe!"

"Oh dear, what should we do? I need to talk to Weiwei about it."

"Princess, don't worry, I have a way."

"Would you like to come to the palace with me to explain?"

"No, I'll give you an idea. The Emperor definitely won't punish you; he'll even reward you."

"Really! Such a great idea?"

After Tian Yu whispered in the princess's ear, the princess looked doubtful and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure this will work?"

"Don't worry! It will definitely work."

“Okay, I’ll give it a try,” the princess said, taking a deep breath.
