Having received his answer, Zhao Moyan, seeing Tian Yu's panicked expression, stopped pressuring her. He smiled contentedly, turned, and continued walking. Tian Yu patted her chest in fear; with no one around, she was genuinely afraid Zhao Moyan would suddenly unleash his beastly nature again. What kind of ideas had Li Yong instilled in Zhao Moyan? She cursed Li Yong countless times in her mind—how had he corrupted such a cold and aloof marquis? Meanwhile, Li Yong in the military camp was also wondering why he'd been sneezing so often lately. Who was talking about him behind his back?

The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Wu opened the door and saw Zhao Moyan already waiting outside. He ran to wake Tian Yu. Zhao Moyan glanced at the hairpin in Tian Yu's hair and was very pleased. Tian Yu stared in surprise; if it weren't for the carriage behind him, she would have suspected he hadn't gone home the night before and had been waiting there all night. She didn't even have time for breakfast, hurriedly saying goodbye to everyone before being taken away by Zhao Moyan. Madam Li was very happy and urged Tian Yu to go back quickly. Li Xingyun, however, had a look of anticipation, and even smiled at Tian Yu, saying, "Sister, don't come back again! Serve the Marquis well!"

Tian Yu glared at him, and everyone else laughed. Zhao Moyan, who seemed to be in a great mood, said to Li Xingyun, "Don't worry, she won't come back. I'll take good care of her."

“My dear daughter, take good care of yourself. Remember to tell your mother if anything happens, and I will definitely help you,” Li said, pulling Tian Yu along.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take good care of myself," Tian Yuye comforted him.

Mrs. Li was so sad that she was about to cry, but Old Master Li said, "Alright! It's not like you're not coming back. You're so close, just come back and visit if you want."

"That's right! Daughter, remember to come back and visit often." Li said sadly. She had just had a few good days after having her daughter, and now they had to part ways. Li felt heartbroken.

"Grandma, don't cry! I'll come back to see you," Tangyuan said.

"Okay! Good child, Grandma won't cry."

"Mother!" Xiaoju cried out.

"Xiaoju, your mother is leaving now. You must take good care of Grandpa and Grandma," Tian Yu said, squatting down.

"Yes! Xiaoju will take good care of Grandpa and Grandma."

With reluctance, Tian Yu led Tangyuan onto the carriage. The Li couple were very emotional, feeling as if they had married off their daughter.

The servants came out to greet them at the gate of Hongyuan, and Zhao Moyan helped Tian Yu down from the carriage. When they sat down at the dining table, Tian Yu looked at the large breakfast spread in front of her and didn't know where to start. She smiled and looked at Uncle Zhou, but Uncle Zhou said, "Madam, please eat! This was all prepared by the Marquis. If you don't like it, I'll have the kitchen make it again."

"No need! No need!" Tian Yu quickly waved her hand and said.

"Mom, try this, it's delicious." Tangyuan picked up a pastry and offered it to Tianyu.

Tian Yu took the gift, made a heart shape with her hands, and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Tangyuan, I love you!" Tangyuan also made a heart shape with her hands, then suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhao Moyan, and smiled, saying, "Daddy, I love you too!" She didn't forget to make a heart shape with her hands after saying that.

Zhao Moyan smiled slightly, picked up some food for him, and also picked up some for Tian Yu. Tian Yu smiled awkwardly. With Tangyuan between them, the atmosphere seemed a bit better. Tian Yu felt more relaxed and less nervous, as long as Tangyuan didn't cause any trouble.

After the meal, Zhao Moyan looked at Tian Yu and said, "I've hired a tutor for Tangyuan. He can teach Tangyuan when I'm not around!"

"Huh?! What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not a good teacher?" Tian Yu asked.

“No, he needs to learn some current knowledge. You teach very well, but those things are not available here,” Zhao Moyan explained.

“That makes sense, okay then!” Tian Yu thought about it and nodded, thinking that she only had a basic understanding of the local culture after all this time, and that she should learn more about tangyuan (glutinous rice balls).

"Every morning and afternoon, Tangyuan studies with her teacher for about two hours."

"Okay! I understand."

"I have something to take care of and need to leave for a while."

"Oh, then go ahead and do your thing!"

"Do you want to come with me?"

"Me? No, I have something to do later, you should go!" Tian Yu waved her hand and said.

"Alright then! If you get bored by yourself, you can go to my study and find some books to read."

"Okay! I understand."

After seeing Zhao Moyan off, Tian Yu wandered around the courtyard and saw Tangyuan studying with an old gentleman with a white beard in the study. Not daring to disturb him, she quietly left.

Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum were busy cleaning the room. They had wanted to keep Tian Yu company, but Tian Yu was used to being alone, so she didn't let them follow. She wandered around Rainbow Garden by herself and finally came to the courtyard where Zhao Moyan lived. She stood in front of the door and thought for a moment. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Uncle Zhou saw her and stepped forward and said, "Madam, would you like to go in?"

"Huh?! No, I was just looking around, just looking around," Tian Yu quickly explained, feeling a little guilty.

“If Madam wishes to go in, she may do so at any time. The Marquis has instructed that Madam Hongyuan may go wherever she wishes.” As he spoke, Uncle Zhou pushed open the door to Zhao Moyan’s bedroom and stood by the door to make way for Tian Yu.

Tian Yu chuckled and said, "Oh, I see! I won't go in. I'll go wander around somewhere else first."

"Very well! Madam, please feel free to do as you please!"

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Zhou!"

"If Madam wishes to enter, she may do so at any time without prior notice."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhou!"

"You're too kind, Madam. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Please make yourself at home!" With that, Uncle Zhou bowed and prepared to depart.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy!" Tian Yu said with a smile as she saw Zhou Bo off.

Watching Zhou Bo leave, and glancing at the open door, Tian Yu looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then went inside. The room was simply furnished, yet elegant, perfectly matching Zhao Moyan's style.

The last time she came in was when she was sick. At that time, she was worried about Chen Chong and didn't pay much attention to this place. Tian Yu came to the soft couch. There were a few books on the couch. Tian Yu picked them up and flipped through them casually. Although she could recognize most of the characters, she was still not interested in the books and put them back. Tian Yu walked around the room. The objects in the room were as cold and elegant as their owner. If he hadn't served in the army for many years, he might have been a refined gentleman, or perhaps a bookworm! But because of his military service, he had some differences from scholars and gentlemen. Tian Yu couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. Holding a calligraphy brush in his hand, his face didn't look like the soldiers she remembered. He was the only one in the entire army with fair skin. The other soldiers were mostly yellowish-black. He wasn't a soldier, but his scars and incredible strength—lifting her up with ease—along with his deep, sharp eyes, made him a true soldier. For the first time, Tian Yu carefully recalled everything about Zhao Moyan. Lost in thought, a smile played on her lips. Perhaps she herself didn't realize that she had already fallen for him.
