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

Manager Liu was already waiting at the entrance of the yamen early in the morning.

Upon seeing Fu Jingsheng and Su Mingyue approach, he first coughed a few times, covering his mouth with his hand, then stepped forward with a smile: "Lord Fu, you've arrived. I've brought everything, shall we go in now?"

Fu Jingsheng glanced at the contract above; it was indeed genuine.

Once inside, the transfer of ownership was completed quickly.

Fu Jingsheng reluctantly handed 88,000 taels of silver notes to Steward Liu: "Count this silver and see if there are any mistakes. Move out of your belongings as soon as possible so I can arrange for someone to clean and tidy up."

“The silver is correct. Our lady said she doesn’t want anything inside and is giving it to you. We can move in after a simple tidying up. Also, what does Master Fu plan to do with the servants on the estate? Should he keep them or let them go? They’ve been managing things for us. If we dismiss them, the new servants might not be as attentive.”

“I’ve seen their work, and they did a good job, so let’s keep them. Their monthly pay remains the same. You pay them this month’s pay, and I’ll start paying them next month.”

"Lord Fu is truly kind; I thank you on their behalf. Here is the contract; please keep it safe."

"Manager Liu, you should stay as well." Fu Jingsheng remembered something and said to Manager Liu, "I've bought such a large estate, it can't be left unmanaged. You are all veterans, and I'll need your continued support until I find someone to take over."

"Thank you, Lord Fu. I will take good care of it."

Fu Jingsheng wanted to take another look, so he went back with Steward Liu.

Looking at the huge courtyard that would later become his property, Fu Jingsheng felt somewhat proud.

He no longer wanted to give them to Su Ziyu. These were the Fu family's assets, and if he gave them to her, the Fu family would really have nothing left.

“There’s basically no need to add anything. The previous owner took very good care of this place. Everything inside is very valuable. If you really wanted to add things yourself, it would cost at least tens of thousands of taels. Jing Sheng, we really made a profit on this trip.”

“Yes, you don’t have to worry about anything, you can just check in.” Fu Jingsheng was also very satisfied.

When she returned home, Ms. Qian had the kitchen prepare a table full of dishes and fine wine.

Seeing them return, he warmly invited them to sit down: "You're back, please sit down. Today is a good day, our family should celebrate."

Fu Jingying asked Fu Jingsheng eagerly, "Brother, how did it go? Everything's settled. Can I invite Sister Su to stay with us for a few days?"

Fu Jingsheng took out the contract: "Everything went smoothly, and that estate is now ours. You can go whenever you want. I'll keep all the servants from before."

"That's wonderful!" Fu Jingying's eyes narrowed with joy. "I'll go see Sister Su this afternoon and tell her the news."

Su Mingyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw that they talked about Su Ziyu without any hesitation.

Fu Jingsheng was also eager to tell Su Ziyu the news, and he glanced at his mother.

Madam Qian nodded to him, picked up the wine pot on the table, and poured wine for Su Mingyue: "Mingyue, you are a great hero for being able to buy back the estate. Today is a good day, let's have a drink together as a family to celebrate. In the future, we can also stay at the estate for a while."
