Tian Yu felt a chill run through her body, but she still forced herself to stand up and sneered, "My lord, I haven't finished yet. Today, General Pei and the Crown Prince of Chen invited me to go boating on Li Lake. I didn't want to go at first, but I thought that they are, after all, distinguished guests of my Wu Kingdom. How could I, a dignified citizen of Wu Kingdom, dare to neglect them? Besides, it was General Pei who invited me, so what's wrong with that? We hit it off immediately. If you insist that we have a secret relationship, I'll accept it. After all, I like her quite a bit, and she likes me quite a bit too. We can be considered to be mutually attracted!"
"You're spouting nonsense. I've long heard that you knew the Crown Prince of Chen back in Shancheng County, and that you almost got married. Is that true?"
Tian Yu didn't want to explain anymore. She wanted to say that this was her own business and none of your business.

"Hmph! You can't even take good care of your own daughter, yet you have time to worry about others. Lord Li, you really have a lot of free time!" Tian Yu sneered.
Upon hearing this, Li Linfeng pointed at Tian Yu and trembled with anger. The Emperor said to the eunuch, "Go! Bring that witness in."
The emperor remained seated without expressing his opinion, and no one could discern what he was thinking.
When Tian Yu saw who came in, she was a little surprised, but then she thought about it and realized that it made sense. Who else could it be but Zhao Sibao!
