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

"Su Mingyue, what's wrong? Trying to rebel? We've already given you face by agreeing to let you stay at the Fu family's place. If you don't want to stay, leave now. Let's see who in the capital dares to take you in."

Su Mingyue ignored Madam Fu and looked at Fu Jingsheng instead.

“Lord Fu, given what has happened today, if you don’t marry Su Ziyu, Lord Su will definitely not let you off the hook. Compared to this matter, if Lord Su knew that you were married before you became the top scholar in the imperial examination and that you are still married and living in the Fu residence as your cousin, what do you think Lord Su would think?”

Su Mingyue wasn't in a hurry at all.

After what happened between Fu Jingsheng and Su Ziyu, he must be in a hurry to propose. If she's not mistaken, the wedding date will be set soon.

No one can guarantee whether Su Ziyu will be pregnant after today's battle.

If Su Ziyu were smart enough, she should have given him a bowl of contraceptive soup as soon as she got home.

As Fu Jingsheng listened to her words, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed together, his brows so tightly they could trap a fly.

Thinking of what happened between him and Su Ziyu, he took a deep breath: "Mingyue, in the end, you also bear half the responsibility for this. If you hadn't left the sachet mixed with acacia fragrance somewhere, Ziyu and I wouldn't have ended up like that. You're right, Su Ziyu's father is Lord Su, the Grand Secretary of the court, with immense power."

After what happened, I'm definitely going to marry her. Before that, there's absolutely no way I'll let Lord Su know you're my wife. I just don't understand, that sachet... you really lost it by accident."

"More than that, I'm concerned about why the sachet Jingying gave me had that kind of fragrance. I saw a strange man walking towards me, and Jingying stopped hiding in fear. Now that I think about it, wasn't that man someone you hired? And the purpose of that sachet was to make me pounce on the man when I saw him, just in time for you to come and slander me."

Fu Jingying remained silent.

She really wanted to do that.

Unexpectedly, Su Mingyue was lucky enough to lose the sachet.

That man was a complete scoundrel, good for nothing but causing trouble.

If he hadn't been so useless, Su Mingyue would never have been able to escape today.

“Mingyue, I never intended to divorce you or anything like that, but you saw what happened today. And this whole thing is also related to you. If it weren’t for that sachet, Ziyu and I wouldn’t have been able to have our relationship beforehand.”

"Divorce is possible, but you can't divorce me if you want." Su Mingyue stated her position: "I know you have a bright future ahead of you, and you can't afford to offend Lord Su. For your sake, I'm willing to grant your wish."

Before Madam Fu could say anything, Su Mingyue spoke again: "Of course, if you want to divorce me, you're trying to pin everything on me. I certainly won't let it go. Even if it means a fight to the death, I'll make sure everyone in the capital knows what kind of person you, Fu Jingsheng, are."

“Su Mingyue, my son saved you back then, and you were willing to be our servant and dote on us, Jingsheng. Now that my son has a better marriage prospect, you should know better than to step down.” The old lady had always believed that Su Mingyue was not good enough for her son.

Her son is a dragon among dragons, how could he possibly marry a merchant's daughter and become the mistress of the house?

Seeing that Su Mingyue was so agreeable, without arguing or making a scene, Fu Jingsheng nodded: "Then let's do as you say, a divorce. Mingyue, I really never intended to divorce you. After Ziyu enters the family, I will explain the situation to her, and then you can enter. We've been married for several years; I won't abandon you. You must believe me." Fu Jingsheng did indeed intend to have Su Mingyue enter the family as a concubine at some point in the future.
