Under the eager gaze of the girl in the red dress, Tianyun slowly put down his teacup.
Yu Niao's heart was in a state of high anxiety.
Did she discover something was wrong with the tea?
Tianyun smiled sweetly at the boy who was peeling shrimp for her.
"I don't like having someone serving me while I dine."
Xiao Ziwu waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
Tianyun tugged at his sleeve: "No, let this young lady sit down and eat with us too."
In front of her, Xiao Ziwu was always without principles, and without thinking, he agreed: "Okay."
You still allowed me to sit down and eat, so you must not have noticed the strangeness in the tea, right? Yu Niao sat down nervously and said awkwardly, "You can just call me Yu Niao, Miss. You are so generous to allow me to sit with the young master."
She called herself a lowly concubine?
Tianyun licked her lips and looked at her with amusement.
Xiao Ziwu, who was obediently peeling shrimp to the side, suddenly let out a muffled groan as someone pinched the soft flesh on his side, not too hard, not too soft.
He looked up from the mountain of shrimp shells and asked innocently, "What's wrong, sweetie?"
My darling?
Yu Niao was stunned, feeling as if she had been stabbed in the heart with several arrows, leaving it riddled with holes and dripping blood.
She lowered her eyelashes slightly: "I'm not one tolerating others. Why didn't Your Highness inform me about taking a concubine?"
Xiao Ziwu placed a large bowl of peeled fresh shrimp beside her, and asked, puzzled, "When did I ever take a concubine?"
He took a damp cloth and wiped away the oil stains. He then held the baby's little hand, which was hanging by his side, and gently kneaded it.
He said solemnly, "I only want you."
"So, Miss Yu Niao is already married to someone else?"
Under the eager gaze of the girl in the red dress, Tianyun slowly put down his teacup.
Yu Niao's heart was in a state of high anxiety.

Xiao Ziwu used a damp cloth to wipe the oil stains.
He took his precious baby's little hand hanging by his side, gently kneaded it, and solemnly said, "I only want you."
Tianyun gently squeezed his hand back.
Regardless of whether he is deceiving himself or not, regardless of whether he will break his vow today in the future.
At least for now, she is happy.
If Yu Niao can't understand her hint, then she's lived in vain all these years!
She hurriedly stood up, preparing to repeat her previous trick, kneeling heavily on the black stone ground to gain sympathy.
But Tianyun stopped her, "Miss Yu Niao, are you already full? Why are you eating so fast?"
Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she rested her chin on her hand and looked on quietly: "Sit down and eat slowly."
"I misspoke, please be merciful, young lady, and don't hold this against me!" Yu Niao bit her lip hard in despair.
I dare not call myself a concubine anymore. If the young master thinks I have married someone else, I would rather die!
Tianyun's lips curved slightly.
Knowing that the term "lowly concubine" was causing her displeasure, she cleverly changed her address to "slave maid" immediately.
He hadn't intended to make things too difficult for her, but the accusations she made about him being narrow-minded, and her insistence on finding fault with her, made Tianyun want to substantiate her claims!
Yu Niao's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Xiao Ziwu with red eyes, hoping that the young master could stand up for her.
To an uninformed person, this scene would appear as if the woman sitting in the chair was too domineering and forceful, leaving the girl in the red dress with nowhere to turn for help.
Tianyun ignored her pitiful expression and said to Xiao Ziwu with feigned grievance, "I was just asking if Your Highness has ever taken a concubine. I didn't mean to target Miss Yu Niao."
Xiao Ziwu picked up some asparagus for her and said, "Yes, I know. My dear, eat first. Be careful not to let the food get cold."
Despite all her calculations, she hadn't expected him to react this way. Tianyun was slightly taken aback, her beautiful eyes misting over.
Immediately, like a kitten whose fur has been stroked, she obediently ate the dishes he kept putting on her plate and stopped making a fuss.
Yu Niao, who was practically performing a one-woman show, was grinding her teeth to powder: "Damn it, Feng, you've been gone for so long just to bring me some porridge, leaving me all alone!"
The young master didn't even glance at her; his mind was entirely on that woman. How could this charade continue?
Yu Niao was completely forgotten by the two of them.
Tianyun blinked and smiled sweetly, "This steamed sea bass is tender and delicious, Your Highness, please try it!"
She was adept at using the delicacies from his yard to curry favor with him; she was always good at using others' talents to please him.
The boy's dark, jade-like eyes shone brightly, but he seemed quite pleased as he slowly put the tender fish into his mouth.
Seemingly finding pleasure in it, he began endlessly feeding the girl. The meal was cloyingly sweet.
Yu Niao almost vomited blood from seeing this!
His eyes were fixed on the Longyang celadon teacup in front of the woman, which contained a potent laxative that would take effect within moments of drinking it.
If a young woman frequently urinates in front of her husband, she will be criticized for her improper manners and unseemly behavior.
This move is undeniably ruthless, but it won't kill her. Even if she's punished, it won't be too severe! As long as I can see this woman make a fool of herself, I don't mind being penalized with a two or three-month salary deduction by the young master.
Yu Niao was fantasizing about the wonderful scenario of the young master eventually rejecting her.
As she wished, the woman slowly picked up the cup in front of her and brought it to her lips.
The rim of the cup was almost touching the woman's lips!
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Xi Feng walked in respectfully to report: "The young lady has woken up."
Under Yu Niao's eager gaze, Tian Yun slowly placed the teacup on the table and said softly to Xi Feng, "Thank you for your trouble."
"It's all what this servant should do."
Tianyun thought to herself, "She's actually more docile than the woman in the red dress."
Xi Feng lowered his head meekly, but was glared at fiercely by Yu Niao. Xi Feng looked back at her helplessly.
Why are you glaring at me for no reason?
This made Yu Niao so angry that her face turned red.
You brat! I was hoping you'd come back and lend a hand, but you've been so late. Now that she's finally about to drink it, you've ruined it all!
Yu Niao really wanted to shake her head to see if it was full of mush!
