    Feng Qianyi never expected that his mother, who had always cherished him like her own life, would neglect him so much. Upon discovering he was awake, she was momentarily surprised, then immediately inquired about his condition from the imperial physician.

Speaking of this woman, Feng Qianyi felt a tightness in his chest. Through Mo Jue's explanation, he learned that he was already married. This ready-made wife was none other than the good-for-nothing from the Cheng Guogong's mansion!

He wouldn't even take someone like that as a maid. Yet she became his first wife? "Mother, don't you think she's the one who should leave?" Feng Qianyi's voice was a little hoarse, and his volume wasn't loud, but it didn't diminish his imposing aura at all. The Empress sensed her son's deep resentment and was about to comfort him when he interrupted her. "Throw her back to the Mu family!" Feng Qianyi only glanced indifferently at the unconscious Mu Zhifan before ordering Mo Jue. Mo Jue strode over in one step. "Step back!"
