That day, Tian Yu was teaching a few children in the villa. During a break, she sat in front of a chair and watched the children playing happily in the yard. Tian Yu fell into deep thought. She remembered that when they parted, Tang Yuan and Zhao Moyan asked her to move back. Tian Yu was conflicted, but Tang Yuan was happy to help. Under the coaxing of the father and son, Tian Yu agreed to let her think about it and decide whether to move back in three days.
Today was the last day. If she didn't move back, she didn't know how to explain it to Tangyuan. But if she did move back, Tian Yu felt it wouldn't work. Zhao Moyan had definitely been corrupted by that bastard Li Yong; the way he looked at her had changed. If they lived together, she would be under Zhao Moyan's watchful eye every day, with no way to escape. She hadn't decided whether she and Zhao Moyan should be together. Zhao Moyan kept reminding her how things were going. She really didn't know what to do. If she didn't agree, Tangyuan would be very sad. If she agreed, what would she do? Should she go back to Beijing with Zhao Moyan? She didn't want to leave. She wasn't sure about their future together. Forgive her, she just wanted a peaceful life, but without realizing it, she felt Zhao Moyan's importance in her heart was growing. What should she do?
"So annoying!" Tian Yu said irritably, scratching her hair.
"Is something bothering you, Auntie?" A girl ran over and asked with a smile after hearing Tian Yu's words. Ever since Gouzi came twice, the children seemed to have made a pact to call her Auntie.
"Auntie doesn't have any worries, there's just one problem she can't figure out," Tian Yu said with a smile, patting the little girl's head.
"If Auntie has any problems she can't figure out, Xiaoyue can help you think about them!" the little girl named Xiaoyue said, tilting her head.
"Well, Auntie needs to think about how to tell you," Tian Yu said, pretending to be thinking seriously.
After thinking for a while, Tian Yu said, "If someone wants to invite you to their house, but you're too scared to go, but you have to go anyway, what should you do?"
Why don't you dare to go?
"Yes, I'm afraid I might make a mistake and cause trouble for others."
"How could that be? As long as Auntie is careful, everything will be fine."
"That's right, just be careful. Thank you, Xiaoyue!" Tian Yuxiang said with a smile, patting Xiaoyue's hair.
But Tian Yu still had no answer in her heart. Unable to think of a solution, she decided to just wait it out, since Zhao Moyan couldn't be forced to do anything anyway.
That evening, after settling Tangyuan in, Tian Yu kept asking if she could move in with Zhao Moyan the next day. Tian Yu casually replied that she would know when he woke up. Xiaoju was always busy following the old doctor Li, and she would only exchange a few hurried words with Tian Yu before having to go dry herbs and study medical books. The things Tian Yu bought for her always ended up in her room, and she wouldn't see them until she had time. Now, it was so late, and she still hadn't returned, still making house calls with the old doctor Li. Sometimes Tian Yu felt sorry for Xiaoju and asked her if she wanted to quit studying, but Xiaoju said she wasn't tired at all and found it very fun. Seeing this, Tian Yu felt relieved.
Tian Yu changed into men's clothing and planned to go to Yanyu Tower. She hadn't been there since it opened and didn't know what it was like now. When she arrived at Yanyu Tower, it was already full. Tian Yu sneaked in through the back door and waited in a guest room at the back. After a while, Yu Niang finally came in.
"I must have been too busy up front, have you been waiting long?" Yu Niang said to Tian Yu with a smile on her face. She was completely different from when they first met. She seemed much more cheerful and talked a lot more.
"It's alright. Has anything been going on at the store lately?"
"That's good! A few days ago, there were a few troublemakers, but they were taken away by the constables who were patrolling nearby before they could cause any real trouble."
"Oh!? The government offices are quite efficient. It's true that having connections makes things easier!" Tian Yu smiled and thought to herself, "Could it be Prince Wu? It seems having a powerful backer is quite beneficial, saving me a lot of trouble."
"Later I heard that it was a few brothels next door that deliberately caused trouble, and the government even sent someone to warn them. Tian Yu, do you have connections in high places?"
"No, I just gave them some benefits, you know!" Tian Yu explained, making a money gesture as she revealed her relationship with Prince Wu.
"No wonder! I was wondering if things were going too smoothly for us. Turns out you had everything planned in advance," Yu Niang said, finally understanding.
"It's alright! By the way, did you find out anything about the prince of Chen that I told you about before?" Tian Yu asked with a smile. The day before the opening, Tian Yu had spoken to Yu Niang privately, hoping she could keep an eye out for things related to Chen. Yu Niang had agreed without asking many questions, and Tian Yu had also asked that no one else should know, which Yu Niang agreed to. Now that the opening had been going on for several days, Tian Yu was eager to know something about Chen Chong.
"I've been keeping an eye on things these past few days and have indeed heard some things about the prince of Chen. It's said that he went to the border between Wu and Che, and then returned. He should be here in about half a month, but I don't know the exact route he took. I also heard that the prince was being chased along the way, and he's only survived this long because of his luck. That's all for now. Oh! By the way, I also heard that the current Prince Wu came to this town ostensibly for the corruption case, but actually for this very reason. It seems that it won't be easy for the prince to return to Chen alive!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Sister Yu," Tian Yu said thoughtfully.
"Don't be so polite. You call me 'sister,' it's only right that I do this little thing. Tian Yu, I don't want to know why you're asking about these things, but let me just say this: it's best if we don't get involved in these kinds of things. Dealing with the imperial court is too dangerous, especially when it involves other countries. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, it could mean death."
"Thank you for reminding me, Sister Yu. I understand. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Tian Yu said, holding Yu Niang's hand.
"It's good that you know what's going on. If anything happens, I'll send someone to deliver a message to you. You don't need to come here often. There are too many people around. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the shop."
