Zhou Yan was just immersed in his own joy and didn't notice the jealousy in the eyes of His Majesty, who was sitting at the top and had regarded him as a brother since childhood.

He lowered his head slightly and continued to speak sweetly.

Little did he know that every word he said at this moment was like a knife stabbing into Mu Liangyuan's already fragile heart.

His already shaky bottom line was shaken again until it disappeared completely.

"Your Majesty, speaking of this, I have to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't granted me the marriage, I might have missed Yu'er a long time ago."

"When Your Majesty first granted me marriage, I was quite confused. Now it seems that Your Majesty is far-sighted. Yu'er must be my destined match, a match made in heaven."

Zhou Yan said as he raised his eyes with excitement gleaming in them.

Mu Liangyuan narrowed his eyes and put on a hypocritical smile.

I could barely contain the anger in my chest.

"Oh? I still remember that you acted very calmly at the beginning. It was not until yesterday at the celebration banquet that I learned that you actually had a favorite woman five years ago, but you never told me clearly at that time. If you had told me, I would never have granted you the marriage."

"And I never thought that you actually attended the palace banquet yesterday and brought the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who is also your childhood sweetheart. At that time, I thought that if you still like Tang Huan, it would be a slap in my face. Today, I will issue an order for you and Tang Yu to divorce."

When Mu Liangyuan said this, his eyes were always observing Zhou Yan calmly.

As a result, Zhou Yan looked panicked.

"No, Your Majesty, I back then..." Zhou Yan was not quite sure. He did like Tang Huan back then, but he couldn't explain why.

It was like I lost a piece of memory and suddenly fell in love with Tang Huan.

But when he talked about losing Tang Yu, his heart suddenly ached.

He couldn't afford such a price.

He paused and continued, "Your Majesty, I will treat Yu'er well now. As for Tang Huan, it was because my mother liked her very much that she brought her here. It has nothing to do with me. I have nothing to do with her now."

Mu Liangyuan gently stroked the jade brush in his hand, which felt warm to the touch.

He narrowed his eyes, his expression the same as usual.

"So that's the case. I thought you were dissatisfied with the marriage you were granted, so you brought Tang Huan to the celebration banquet to deliberately slap your wife and me in the face."

Mu Liangyuan seemed to be joking when he spoke, but in fact, every word he said was as sharp as a knife.

Zhou Yan pursed his lips, "Your Majesty..."

Mu Liangyuan interrupted, "Speaking of which, rumors have been rife in the capital since yesterday. I regard you as a brother, and you know that. If you have any thoughts, you should hide them from me."

He persuaded her patiently, "If you, Ayan, really still like Tang Huan, I will make the decision for you. Believe me, I will also take care of Tang Yu's second half of life. It won't be a problem for her to live a happy life for the rest of her life."

"I just care about your happiness. If I have to sacrifice my brother's happiness to fulfill my reputation, I will never do such a thing."

Zhou Yan was a little confused by what he said, but he still insisted on his own opinion.

"Your Majesty, I have never lied. I really love Yu'er now and want to spend the rest of my life with her happily and peacefully."

"Oh, well, then I won't interfere any more. You should handle the comments in the capital yourself."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was unmoved by any persuasion, Mu Liangyuan gave up the idea of ​​resolving the issue peacefully.

It seems that you really have to grab what you want yourself.

Zhou Yan stayed in the imperial study for two hours, reporting on the specific affairs happening in Jiangnan before returning to the general's mansion.
