"Is that so?" Prince Wu said with a playful smile.

Tian Yu glanced at Zhao Moyan and quickly lowered her head to eat, not wanting to explain anymore, probably because she figured it would be useless. Zhao Moyan didn't seem to mind the trouble, and even had the mood to put food on her plate. Tian Yu looked up and saw him smiling and saying, "Madam, please eat more."

Tian Yu was going crazy. What was he doing? He was smiling so beautifully, how could he suddenly change his attitude and call himself "Madam"! Looking at the other two who were watching the show, Tian Yu quickly lowered her head and shoveled rice into her bowl, almost choking. Zhao Moyan patted her back and ladled a bowl of soup for her, saying, "Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Tian Yu opened her eyes wide as if asking Zhao Moyan, "What are you doing?" Zhao Moyan ignored Tian Yu's gaze, scooped up some soup with a spoon, blew on it, and brought it to Tian Yu's lips, gesturing for her to open her mouth. Tian Yu kept looking at Zhao Moyan, trying to make him stop, but seeing the spoon at her lips without backing down, she awkwardly smiled at the other two, opened her mouth, and drank it. Seeing Zhao Moyan about to scoop another spoonful, Tian Yu hurriedly grabbed the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, she wiped her mouth and said, "I'm finished. Please enjoy your meal, I have to take my leave." Without waiting for their agreement, she lifted her skirt and quickly slipped out of the living room to find Tangyuan and the others.

"This lady's eating manners are so unusual!" Huang Xuan exclaimed. It was the first time in his life he had ever seen a woman eat like this; she had absolutely no sense of decorum.

"Yes, they are indeed different," Prince Wu said, smiling at Zhao Moyan.

"Please excuse my wife's lack of education and etiquette," Zhao Moyan said with a smile.

"I find it quite amusing. There's really no other woman in the Wu Kingdom who can be so unconcerned about her image in front of me and the Marquis," the Wu King said with a smile, looking in the direction Tian Yu had left.

Zhao Moyan didn't reply, but the smile on her face had disappeared, and she had finished all the desserts in front of her.

Tian Yu ran back to the East Courtyard to be with Tang Yuan and the others and never came out again. In the afternoon, Zhao Moyan saw the Prince off and came to the East Courtyard to see Tian Yu and the others. Tian Yu saw Zhao Moyan coming from afar, went up to him and pulled him aside and said, "What's wrong with you today? Why did you do this?"

"What have I done, madam?"

"Don't call me Madam! You knew the Prince and the others were here, yet you deliberately stopped me. You did the same at lunch. What are you trying to do?"

"Nothing much. Have you forgotten that the prince wanted to take you as a concubine?"

"So what if he does? Can he force me to do what I don't want to do?"

"It seems you are unaware of the laws of the Wu Kingdom. Who would dare to stop the prince from taking a liking to someone?"

"So what do you mean?"

“I am, after all, a marquis. If you were one of my men, things would be different.”

"So now he doesn't want to marry me, does he?"

"As long as you are mine, he won't."

"How long will this show last?"

"Act?! I don't know!"

"He's so handsome and a prince, surrounded by beautiful women, why would he be interested in me? Sigh, does he have some kind of weird fetish?"

Zhao Moyan, somewhat annoyed by Tian Yu's praise of Prince Wu, said, "Yes! He enjoys torturing women."

"Ah! No wonder, Zhao Moyan, you have to help me!" Tian Yu realized that this was the reason, and it seemed that she should not get too close to this prince.

"Don't worry! As long as you are my wife, he won't cause you any trouble," Zhao Moyan said with a smile, seeing Tian Yu's reaction.

"Okay, I'll definitely cooperate with you next time."

"Hmm, that's good. May I call you Madam?" Zhao Moyan's mood improved considerably, and he said in a serious tone.

"Sure! But maybe we don't need to do it when no one's around!"

"But what if I call it the wrong way and accidentally give myself away?"

"Whatever you want, as long as you don't marry a prince!"
