Tian Yu, an orphan, transmigrated to another world after a car accident. She woke up to find herself with a 5-year-old son and a husband who had long disappeared.
Just as she was about to sta...
After preparing breakfast, Tian Yu returned to the front yard and found the four men still fighting. Somewhat annoyed, she opened all the doors and windows, had the servants remove the brazier and bring in water, and woke the sleeping men so they could wash up and prepare for breakfast. Then she went to another table, politely smiling, and said, "Gentlemen, it's already dawn. Why don't you rest for a bit, have something to eat, and then continue?"
The four of them didn't even look at Tian Yu. Tian Yu took a deep breath and said patiently, "Your eyes won't be able to take it, and your bodies won't be able to handle it either."
Still no one responded, only Zhao Moyan gave her a slight smile. Tian Yu's temper flared up instantly. She snatched the cards from the four people's hands and yelled, "Wash your faces now! Go eat!"
The four were stunned for a moment. The Crown Prince was about to speak, but before he could finish saying "This Crown Prince," Tian Yu cut him off, putting her hands on her hips and saying, "Crown Prince what? Hurry up and wash your faces and eat. Look at all of you, your dark circles are practically reaching your chins! And you're still fighting! After you finish eating, go home and sleep!"
Before the group could say anything more, Tian Yu beckoned the servants who were standing dumbfounded at the door to come in and tidy up the room, muttering as she did so, "They're all grown up, yet they act like children. Don't they know that staying up late is bad for their health?!"
The four of them touched their noses and had no choice but to get up. Their legs were stiff from sitting all night, and they moved slowly like turtles. The Crown Prince said to Zhao Moyan, "Only our Marquis would dare to marry a tigress like that."
"Mr. Tian does have a bit of a temper, but he does it for our own good," Tang Wenli said with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have made you all laugh!" Zhao Moyan said with a smile after glancing at Tian Yu.
After breakfast, the princes and Tang Wenli all returned to their residences. The courtyard was finally much quieter. Tian Yu gave the servants who had stayed up all night a day off to rest.
Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum only returned last night. The restaurant's newly launched New Year's Eve dinner business was so good that Green Willow and Gale were asked to stay and help out. Since Tian Yu also had a share in the restaurant business, they were naturally willing to do so.
A new year, a new beginning. Tian Yu sincerely hopes that they can have a better year ahead, and that her plans will succeed!
Out of curiosity, Tian Yu wanted to know what the Tang siblings and Li Xingyun had talked about that day. But no matter how subtly she asked, Li Xingyun wouldn't reveal a single word. Just when Tian Yu was at her wit's end, Tang Yuan appeared. That evening, Tian Yu gossiped to the father and son who were reading, "What do you think the Tang siblings talked about when they came to see my brother during the New Year?"
The father and son rolled their eyes and ignored Tian Yu. Tian Yu didn't care either, and continued, holding the calligraphy brush in her hand, "It seems like my brother has recently come to his senses. Could it be that Miss Tang is going to divorce her husband and marry my brother?"
"Mother, it's been a few days already, so please don't worry. Uncle is fine, there's no need to fret."
“That won’t do. My grandparents told me to take good care of him and to find him a wife.”
"Why don't you take care of me first?" Zhao Moyan said, raising an eyebrow.
Tian Yu glared at him and said, "Seriously, don't you want to know what they were saying?"
"I don't want to!" Zhao Moyan said.
“I already know!” Tangyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Tian Yu looked at Tang Yuan excitedly and said, "How did you know? Tell me! Tell me!"
Tangyuan looked at Tianyu and swallowed hard, saying, "Don't tell your uncle if I tell you!"
"I won't tell! I won't tell! Tell me! Tell me!" Tian Yu craned her neck, waiting for Tangyuan to speak.
“That day, Xiao Qi and Xuan Yu were playing hide-and-seek. I hid in the backyard of my uncle’s room and overheard their conversation. I remember hearing them say that they wanted to marry Tang’s youngest daughter, Yueyue, to my uncle. They said they would get engaged as soon as my uncle agreed. But my uncle didn’t say anything. Then they asked if I still hated them for what happened back then. They also said that they were willing but unable to do so. They felt guilty towards the Li family all these years. Now that my uncle has come back, they want to make amends.”
"That's it!? That's all?" Tian Yu was clearly still not satisfied and asked with a puzzled look.
"That's all! That's all!" Tangyuan nodded and said.
"Did your uncle, my brother, not say anything?" Tian Yu asked, still unwilling to give up.
"No! Oh! Right, they also seemed to have given my uncle some precious medicine. My uncle didn't want to accept it, but the Tang family insisted. In the end, my uncle seemed to have accepted it and said that he already had someone he liked, so he didn't want to trouble them anymore," Tangyuan said as she recalled.
"Really! He really said that?" Tian Yu asked uncertainly.
"Yes! I heard it clearly, that's what my uncle said." Tangyuan nodded and said.
Tian Yu looked at the father and son knowingly and said with a smile, "It seems my trip to the capital wasn't in vain. At least I found a sister-in-law for my brother!"
"Didn't you come here to see me?" Zhao Moyan asked unhappily.
“Yes! We can do something else while we’re at it!” Tian Yu said with a smile.
"It's best if you don't interfere in the princess's and Li Xingyun's affairs," Zhao Moyan advised.
"I understand. Even if others wanted to get involved, they couldn't!" Tian Yu said.
"Mommy, when will you have a little brother?" Tangyuan suddenly asked.
Tian Yu was taken aback by Tang Yuan's sudden question. She glanced at Zhao Moyan and whispered, "This... um..."
"Does Tangyuan want a younger brother?" Zhao Moyan asked with a smile.
"I think, this way Daddy and Mommy won't have to be separated anymore?" Tangyuan said.
Tian Yu and Zhao Moyan fell silent upon hearing Tang Yuan's words. Tian Yu really didn't know how to explain it to him. Zhao Moyan thought for a moment and said, "We may be separated temporarily sometimes because of certain things, but your mother and I will never be separated, understand?"
"I understand! But if the princess insists on marrying Father, what will Mother do?" Tangyuan asked.
"No, Father will only marry your mother!" Zhao Moyan said, then looked at Tian Yu with deep affection.
Tian Yu looked away, coughed lightly, and said, "Tangyuan, it's getting late, go back to sleep!"
"Tangyuan wants to sleep with Daddy and Mommy!" Tangyuan said.
“You’ve grown up…” Before Tian Yu could finish speaking, Zhao Moya interjected, “Okay! We’ll sleep together tonight!”
Tian Yu looked at Zhao Moyan, as if to say, "Do you want to stay?" Zhao Moyan smiled and took Tangyuan to bed first. After the father and son lay down, they patted the spot next to them, signaling Tian Yu to come up too!
Time flies. Li Yong has left, and Fang Jue has arrived. The New Year has just passed, and it feels like spring has already come. Because of Li Weiwei, the princess has never dared to take any steps. She always feels that she has let Li Weiwei down and that she does not deserve love. Because of this, Tian Yu and Zhao Moyan cannot be together openly, after all, their bet is still in effect.
