The next morning.

The general's mansion received the imperial edict and waited for the eunuch who delivered the edict to leave.

The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, holding the imperial edict with a look of delight on her face.

"Oh, my son is really young and promising, and has won great favor from His Majesty. He just returned home yesterday, and today His Majesty is holding a celebration banquet for you in Yunxiang Palace. This is a great honor for our General's Mansion!"

"Quick, quick, come quickly, someone, quickly take out my set of red coral jewelry that came with my dowry. His Majesty has even allowed me to bring my female relatives with me today. This is a huge favor. If I were to ask you, the others are all benefiting from my Yan'er."

Zhou Yan just stood there motionless.

He frowned, with a hint of sadness between his brows.

Why did he always feel that something was not right? His Majesty had never held such a ostentatious celebration banquet for anyone, and the case he handled did not seem to be worth such a fuss.

Tang Huan approached Zhou Yan with a smile.

"Brother Yan, His Majesty is doing you a great favor by hosting a celebration banquet. Why are you so sad?"

Only then did the old lady notice her son's expression.

Zhou Yan was silent for a while and said, "I returned to the capital overnight yesterday and did not enter the palace immediately. Logically, this is not allowed. I was wondering if His Majesty was warning me."

The old lady thought it was something else and didn't take it seriously.

She waved her hands, "How is that possible? You and His Majesty grew up together as childhood classmates, and you helped each other on the battlefield, fighting bravely together like brothers. Yan'er, I have to say that you are just thinking too much."

As she spoke, the old lady glanced viciously at Tang Yu, who was standing a few steps away from them, with undisguised malice in her eyes.

But thinking about the tight schedule for the celebration party in the evening, I didn’t have time to make things difficult for this little bitch.

"Humph, if some of these little bitches have any shame, they should just ask for a divorce and get out of our General's Mansion. Don't stay here! Seeing that the General's Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous, I'm afraid they will climb up like blood-sucking worms."

Tang Huan pretended to persuade her, "Aunt, don't talk about my sister like that. My sister and Brother Yan are very close now. Aunt, let's go pick out the jewelry."

Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the old lady, "Who are you scolding, little bitch?"

"You little bitch scolded you!" the old lady was furious.

Tang Yu nodded after listening, "Indeed, I can see it."

Then she glanced at Tang Huan, "Are you sick again? The disease of seducing your brother-in-law is really hard to cure. Why can't you change? Oh, it's really unlucky."

After doing a good deed every day and making the old lady and Tang Huan angry, Tang Yu felt happy.

Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao followed and left together.

Zhou Yan was caught between the three people and didn't know what to do.

Looking at his mother whose face turned red with anger, he could only repeat it again.

"Mother, I've already said it. I just now realize how wrong I have been in the past five years. I regret it. I want to live a good life with Yu'er. You should also be quiet. Just think of it as something for your son's good."

Then, looking into Tang Huan's tearful eyes, Zhou Yan was in a trance for a moment.

Soon it was Qingming again. "Miss Tang Huan, you'd better not come to the general's mansion in the future. It's not good for you, an unmarried woman, to always stay at your brother-in-law's house. As for the past, it was all because of your youth and ignorance. His Majesty will select a concubine in half a month, so there is no need for you to stay at the general's mansion all the time."

After saying that, Zhou Yan strode after Tang Yu.

All that was left were the old lady gasping for breath and Tang Huan, who looked hurt and vicious inside.
