"I'm tired! I don't want to see either of you this month. Qiuju, prepare some money for them and send them away!"
"Yes, Madam!"
"Madam! I'm not leaving!"
"Alright! Don't worry, Madam Green Willow! This is what I've prepared for you, now go!"
“Thank you, Madam!” said Gale.
“I’m not leaving!” Green Willow shouted.
But they were still carried away by the wind. Tian Yu felt much more at peace, and they no longer had to go through so much trouble to hide themselves.
Tian Yu was very busy in the following months, busy fulfilling her promise to Prince Wu. Success or failure hinged on this autumn. With Prince Wu's help, she successfully acquired a large tract of land and hired people to cultivate vast tracts of wasteland. Tian Yu planned to use this land to plant the rice seedlings she had cultivated. Her promise to Prince Wu was that she would cultivate high-yield rice, which would change the entire Wu Kingdom. As a condition, Tian Yu had only hoped that Prince Wu would help Zhao Moyan, but now it seemed that even Prince Wu was powerless. Tian Yu knew he had done his best. Prince Wu had also strongly opposed Zhao Moyan's bandit suppression efforts, and even if it failed, Prince Wu remained Zhao Moyan's inside man, allowing him to focus on the bandit suppression. Therefore, Tian Yu still had to keep her promise, but she couldn't guarantee success.
Time flew by, and the fruits and vegetables she had planted were ripe. The Emperor seemed to have forgotten Tian Yu, never summoning her again since that incident. But the guards constantly reminded her that things weren't over yet, and the Emperor was still waiting for her performance. In this agonizing state, summer arrived, and Zhao Moyan and Tangyuan had been gone for over three months and a hundred days. Fortunately, Zhao Moyan had won a great victory in suppressing the bandits and was about to return to the capital. Tian Yu's heart finally settled, but the thought of what to do upon his return caused her anxiety to return. To numb herself, Tian Yu worked tirelessly in the fields every day. The rice seeds she had cultivated last year were all planted this year, and she had also cultivated some new varieties, but she didn't know if they would be successful. Looking at the vast expanse of lush green fields, she felt somewhat happy. The Crown Prince had been quite diligent lately, often coming to visit Tian Yu whenever he had free time. However, Tian Yu didn't like him, especially after witnessing his innocent murder of the guard. She avoided him like the plague, not wanting to get close. Perhaps the Emperor had given her a warning. The Crown Prince was still quite polite and courteous to Tian Yu, but his unusual behavior always made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, because as the Crown Prince, it seemed normal for him to be picky and put on airs, and no one seemed to think anything was amiss.
It's unclear when it started, but everyone knows that she and the Marquis of Zhenbei were at odds and had long since divorced. Their only son had also been sent away, which further confirms that their relationship is over. Some people feel sorry for her, some are happy, and some are waiting to see what happens. The scholars are very curious about the fact that their admired Mr. Tian is single. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see who Tian Yu's next husband will be and who the Marquis of Zhenbei will marry. The servants in the Marquis's mansion and Qinyuan are curious, but no one dares to ask. Even the maids Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum keep quiet about the matter.
In just a few months, everything seemed to fall into place, and all that was left was for Tian Yu to agree. But how could she persuade Zhao Moyan, the person in question? Tian Yu racked her brains but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. Even though he already knew the Emperor's intentions, Tian Yu still had to find a way to get him to accept it completely.
