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

Su Mingyue felt incredibly comfortable soaking in the hot spring.

The pool was filled with steam, and the temperature inside was quite high. Da Xia was soaking in it, and he broke out in a light sweat.

After sweating profusely, your body will feel extremely comfortable.

She soaked for fifteen minutes and then came out, wearing a thin veil, and asked for a pot of ice water. She sat outside the pool and enjoyed it.

This was her original life; she must have gone mad to marry a fickle man like Fu Jingsheng.

With money and good looks, wouldn't it be better for her to find a handsome man and enjoy life when she has time? Why does she have to hang herself on that crooked-necked Fu Jingsheng?

The Fu family said she was promiscuous and kept men outside the marriage, and this suggestion was not unacceptable.

She's open to considering it if the other person meets her requirements.

After sitting for a while and tidying up, he said to Xingchun, "Judging by the time, I should be arriving in the capital soon."

Xingchun was speechless. "How many days have you been here?" she thought, her lips twitching as she looked at the lady's attire.

“Madam, you look like you’ve been on the run. Why don’t we change your clothes?”

What kind of lady dresses up like a beggar to meet her husband?

His hair was a mess, and his clothes were filthy.

I just took a bath, and now that I'm all dressed up, I feel a little sorry for the water in the tub.

“This is more in line with my image, isn’t it?” Su Mingyue was very satisfied with her outfit. “How could my husband be satisfied if it weren’t like this?”

……

When Fu Jingsheng learned that a carriage had arrived outside and the woman in the carriage claimed to be his wife, he quickly stepped out.

When he saw the woman in the carriage, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

He said that Mingyue would definitely come to find him; how could she possibly run away on her own?

“Cousin, I sent someone to pick you up, but they said you came ahead of time. You came ahead of time without even writing to say a word, which made me very worried,” Fu Jingsheng said to Su Mingyue in the carriage.

Hearing him call her "cousin," Su Mingyue's face showed an expression of disbelief: "Jingsheng, what did you call me? When did I become your cousin? You...."

Fu Jingsheng interrupted her, saying, "Cousin, you must have suffered a lot on your journey. Let's go inside and talk. I'll explain anything you want to know."

Su Mingyue's words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out or come down, so she had no choice but to get off the carriage and follow Fu Jingsheng into the Fu residence.

When Madam Qian learned that Su Mingyue had arrived, Madam Qian did not rush to greet her, but Fu Jingying came forward to meet her.

"Cousin." Just like Fu Jingsheng, Fu Jingying didn't call her sister-in-law, but rather cousin.

Su Mingyue snorted inwardly; these two siblings were truly interesting.

Alright, since she's decided to show her face, she's naturally here to play along with their act.

"What's going on? Why are you all calling me cousin?" Su Mingyue asked, puzzled. "I sold my shop and everything back home, took the money, and came to the capital. I was worried that you wouldn't have enough money in the capital."

“I will explain this to you myself.” Fu Jingsheng took her hand: “Let’s go inside, Mother is waiting for us.”

"Yes, we have our reasons for calling her 'cousin'."

When Qian saw Su Mingyue's outfit, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

Look at them, they're just country bumpkins, what kind of look do they have dressed like that?

If people knew she was the wife of a top scholar, they would laugh their heads off if they knew she was like this.
