To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

"Fu Jingsheng, what are you thinking? Are you still thinking about bringing her home, or keeping her outside? Let me tell you, if you haven't given up on her, don't blame me for being ruthless towards her." Su Ziyu grabbed Fu Jingsheng's ear and warned him.

“Madam, what are you thinking? You are my wife now, and you are the only one in my eyes. No other woman can catch my eye.”

"You really have no feelings for her?"

"real."

"I don't really believe it unless you can prove it."

"How can you prove that?" Fu Jingsheng met Su Ziyu's probing gaze and immediately assured her, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely prove it."

“That’s easy.” Su Ziyu leaned closer, breathing warm air into his ear, and whispered, “The War King is hosting a banquet tomorrow night to introduce her to everyone. Given her status, how could she possibly stand beside the War King? If she really becomes the War King’s consort, I’m afraid the first person she’ll target is you. After all, you kicked her out of the house.”

"What do you want me to do?" Fu Jingsheng's body quickly became hot because she was so close to him.

Two days have passed since the wedding.

On other people's wedding night, the bride and groom are inseparable. But on his wedding night, he slept on the floor for two days.

Her approach made his breathing heavy.

Su Ziyu slowly approached, aiming for this effect: "Husband, we can't let her appear at the banquet tomorrow night. If she does, everyone will know that she will be the War King's fiancée."

With the War King backing her up, it'll be even harder for us to do anything to her. We need to make her give up or disappear before the banquet tomorrow night. What do you think?

Fu Jingsheng wrapped his arms around Su Ziyu's slender waist, eager to do something. He didn't really listen to what Su Ziyu was saying, and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, whatever you say. Sweetie, let me pamper you. You made me sleep on the floor for two days, I really can't take it anymore."

Su Ziyu giggled, kissed him a few times, and then pushed him away: "Look at how impatient you are. Not now, I'm pregnant. Let's go to the hot springs now..."

Then she whispered the words "I'll help you".

Fu Jingsheng felt a surge of heat rising to the top of his head, and helped Su Ziyu to the hot spring pool.

The hot spring pool was filled with swirling steam, making it feel like a fairyland.

……

Su Mingyue received a message from the estate saying that Fu Jingsheng and his wife had gone there. Su Ziyu refused to pay the two thousand taels of silver she owed him last month, so Fu Jingsheng came back to collect it. The two were still at the estate, plotting how to make her disappear at tomorrow's banquet.

Su Mingyue looked at the message and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The fish has taken the bait!

Fu Jingsheng, I will show you what it means to buy an estate but raise it. Soon you will know what it means to want to sell it but no one dares to buy it.

"Tell Steward Zhao to fulfill any requests they may have, and don't worry about saving money for them. Use the best of everything, according to the palace standards."

Xingchun helped Su Mingyue comb her hair.

The War King sat at the tea table in the courtyard, drinking tea.

Some people insisted on following her back to freeload off her meals, which left her speechless.

Fu Jingsheng and his wife want her to disappear from tomorrow's banquet, so it seems she'll have to give them a big gift in return.

Because she had undergone surgery, she took a shower and changed clothes as soon as she returned. Now, dressed in clean clothes, she sat opposite the War King.

The War King watched her sit down and thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea: "There's a lot going on in your courtyard, and your house is full of traps and mechanisms. I'm very curious, just who are you?"

From the outside, it looks like a simple, unassuming house, but once inside, you'll find that its luxury surpasses even that of his War King's Mansion.

Moreover, each room is equipped with traps, and if one is not careful enough to trigger a trap, one could die without a burial place, just like the person who tried to assassinate her a few days ago.

"Didn't the War King make it clear to everyone that I'm your fiancée? I'm your fiancée, what else could I be? If you really want to know more, I have another identity: Fu Jingsheng's ex-wife. Do you mind that?"

“You know that’s not what I’m asking.” The War King looked at her, trying to read something in her eyes. Her gaze was calm and gentle, revealing nothing.

“We agreed before that you wouldn’t pry into my affairs, and I wouldn’t pry into yours. Is Your Highness going to go back on your word so soon? Or does Your Highness think that since you are now someone’s fiancée, you have to explain everything to you?”

"I didn't mean that, I was just asking out of curiosity." The War King knew she had misunderstood after hearing her words: "You are still you, just as you were before. I just feel that now that we're familiar with each other, I want to know more about you. If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

"I won't interfere in your affairs, and you shouldn't interfere in mine either." Su Mingyue picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"Alright, I was being nosy." Seeing that she didn't want to answer, the War King didn't ask any further: "There's a high chance that someone from the palace will come tomorrow night."

"I understand." She had run away from home since she was a child, so even if Su Dahai were in front of her now, he might not recognize her: "There won't be any assassination attempts tomorrow, will there?"

"They won't make a move against you so soon." The War King smiled. "However, I believe they are not yet capable of getting close to you."

"The way you're talking makes me sound like a master. I'm completely powerless; if someone really wanted to deal with me, I wouldn't stand a chance."

"You are mine now, so I will naturally protect your safety."

"I don't know if you've tried to assassinate me. But I do have people on my side who want me to disappear?"

"Who?" The aura emanating from the War King suddenly became sharp.

"I don't know either, what's meant to happen will happen." Su Mingyue smiled, revealing two small dimples on her face, making her look especially sweet.

The War King glanced at it and was somewhat stunned.

I never expected her to have such a beautiful smile.

"Green Tiger," he shouted.

A black shadow fell directly from the height.

Mingyue didn't even raise her eyebrows or eyes, and continued eating.

"From today onwards, you will have Gu Yu come to Miss Mingyue's side to protect her safety and ensure that Miss Su does not suffer any mishaps."

After giving his instructions, he explained to Su Mingyue, "We are now in a cooperative relationship. If something happens to either of us, the other will lose face. I don't want anything to happen to you, so I sent my bodyguard Gu Yu to protect you closely. You don't have any objections, do you?"

"You've already given all the instructions before asking me if I agree?" Su Mingyue looked at him and said, "That's fine. I have no reason to disagree."
