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

As Fu Jingying listened to Su Ziyu's question, he thought to himself that his brother was indeed incredibly insightful.

Fu Jingsheng had already taught her how to answer this question.

“Sister Su, my father died early, and my mother and I are the only ones who can support us through her business. Who would want a family like ours?”

"So, your brother has never had a girlfriend before?"

“My brother was once betrothed as a child, but after our father passed away, the other party broke off the engagement early on, saying that old jokes shouldn't be taken seriously. In those years, my mother suffered a lot to raise us. It was from then on that my brother made up his mind to pass the imperial examinations and show those who looked down on our mother.”

Later, my brother focused on his studies and worked hard to pass the imperial examinations. He didn't care at all about marriage.

"That's good, I really like him..." Su Ziyu blushed. "Besides you and your family, do you have any other relatives who visit?"

"After my brother became the top scholar in the imperial examination, he brought my mother and me here. Oh, and there's something else I don't want to hide from you. My cousin also came with us. My cousin's parents died, and my mother took pity on her and brought her here. She lives with us now, but she'll get married sooner or later, so it won't affect your relationship with my brother."

Su Ziyu understood everything she heard, but she didn't care.

What she wanted was Fu Jingsheng himself; what Fu Jingsheng did was none of her business.

"Your cousin is here too. When did she arrive? You can bring her next time. We'll all be family eventually, so it's good to get to know each other beforehand."

"Her parents died when she was young, and she has a strange personality. I don't like being with her, and I don't want to bring her here to spoil our trip. My mother will take care of her; we don't need to worry about her."

"We'll have to get to know each other eventually."

……

Su Mingyue was opening a letter from Hongxiu, which detailed the businesses she had developed in the capital over the years.

And their income over the years.

She glanced at it and then put it away.

"Is Miss Biao here? We have guests in the front hall. The old lady ordered me to come and call Miss Biao to come out and greet them."

Xingchun frowned upon hearing this: "That's really strange. Their whole family would love for you to be invisible, and now they're taking the initiative to invite you to meet their guests."

"Then let's go see them," Su Mingyue said, seemingly unconcerned.

Some people are destined to meet again.

Su Mingyue didn't bother to tidy up and went out without makeup.

When she went out, Madam Qian was talking to a young and pretty noblewoman. Her enthusiasm was something Su Mingyue had never seen before.

Upon seeing Su Mingyue appear, Madam Qian's smile faded considerably. She beckoned to Su Mingyue, "Mingyue, come here quickly. This is Miss Su, the daughter of Master Su."

Su Mingyue looked at Su Ziyu opposite her, her face showing little expression.

Su Ziyu's face has matured considerably since she was a child; she is now radiant and beautiful, a true beauty.

“Miss Su.” Su Mingyue nodded to her.

"This must be my cousin." Su Ziyu gestured for her maid to step forward: "Cousin, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Su Mingyue looked at the pair of silver bracelets in the box and gave a slight smile: "Thank you, Miss Su."

"You're being too polite. She's just staying here temporarily and won't disturb you and Jingsheng's lives." While showing goodwill to Su Ziyu, Madam Qian warned Su Mingyue with her eyes, telling her to be sensible and not to say anything out of line.
