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

Xingchun was truly furious.

Fu Jingsheng's family is truly bizarre.

Without even checking, they just assumed that their young lady poisoned that old hag.

That poison just wouldn't kill that old hag, what bad luck!

"They started this whole thing, and of course I won't let them end it so easily. Xingchun, Xingxia, come with me to the Fu family's place and see what's going on." It's like her house is a marketplace; she can come and go as she pleases.

She was wrongly accused for no reason, so how could she let it go?

Upon hearing that her young mistress was going to the Fu family to see the excitement, Xingchun smiled and her eyes crinkled: "Yes."

As soon as Fu Jingsheng returned home, he indeed ordered his servants to search Donghong and Hongye's courtyard. Sure enough, they found the unused aconite in Donghong's room.

Looking at what he had found, Fu Jingsheng slapped Su Ziyu again.

With a snap, half of his face swelled up.

Su Ziyu knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare to make a scene. She just looked at Fu Jingsheng with teary eyes and said, "Husband, I really don't know what happened. How could I possibly poison my mother-in-law? Don't be fooled by Su Mingyue. She resents me for stealing her man and has been looking for a chance to take revenge on me. I really didn't do this. It has nothing to do with me."

If the people from the Dali Temple weren't there, Su Ziyu could deny it or make a scene.

With officials from the Dali Temple present, she couldn't possibly confess. If she did, it would be considered intentional poisoning, no different from intentional murder, and she didn't want to be taken away by the Dali Temple officials.

"We found everything in your maid's room, and you still dare to argue?" Fu Jingsheng looked at her with red eyes: "Why? What did my mother do to you that you treat her like this?"

"Brother, you must be mistaken. It can't be sister-in-law's. I lost my prescription before, and it was sister-in-law who found it and returned it to me," Fu Jingsheng said weakly from the side.

She wasn't sure either, but if her face didn't recover well, it would be difficult to find a good marriage partner in the future.

My sister-in-law knows a lot of people, and my marriage is still in her hands.

“My lord, Jingying believes me, but you don’t. When you proposed to me, you weren’t like this. You said you would always believe in me and always stand by my side. We’ve only been married a short time, and you treat me like this. You’ll regret it.”

"Then explain why there was aconite in your maid's room, and what you said about Granny Qiu identifying you."

“I was framed by someone else. They wanted to frame me, and I can’t defend myself.”

"You can make me believe you, but you have to bring the miracle doctor here. As long as the doctor says Mother is alright, I'll pretend this never happened. But if anything happens to Mother, this isn't over."

"Young master," a servant trotted over, "a letter came from the clinic saying that there's news about the divine doctor."

"Hurry up and send someone to invite them, no matter how much money it costs."

The servants had just left when Su Mingyue and her entourage entered.

Upon seeing Su Mingyue at the Fu family's residence, Su Ziyu's expression immediately changed: "Su Mingyue, what are you doing here?"

"I've come to see if the real culprit has been brought to justice." Su Mingyue stopped, and Xingchun, being very sensible, found a stool nearby for her to sit down.

Su Mingyue looked at Lord Feng with a mocking expression: "Lord Feng, now we have both witnesses and physical evidence. Su Ziyu deliberately murdered the old lady of the Fu family. Why don't you take her away? Didn't you just say that no matter who the other party is, even if they are royalty, as long as the evidence is sufficient, you would dare to take them away and report to the Emperor? You haven't forgotten what you just said, have you?"

Lord Feng coughed lightly, his eyes unconsciously glancing towards Prince Ming.

"Princess, please do not be anxious. I am currently gathering evidence. Once the evidence is complete, I will certainly arrest the person."

"This county magistrate knows that Lord Feng has always been fair and impartial, and upright and incorruptible. As long as the evidence is sufficient, he will certainly not let a criminal go unpunished."

Lord Feng's lips twitched.

Miss Su really has a sharp tongue; she's relentless when she's right.

"Su Mingyue, it's all your fault, isn't it? You framed me."

"We were worried you didn't have enough evidence, so we even called the waiter from the pharmacy you visited. Jiang Xiao'er, tell Lord Feng what's going on with those aconite roots?"

“That day, Miss Fu came to me to get her medicine, and then another person came right after, who only wanted aconite.” He glanced at Dong Hong on the ground and pointed at her: “She was the one who came to buy it.”

“We have both witnesses and physical evidence, now we just need a motive.” Su Mingyue tilted her head and thought for a moment: “Oh, I see, you want to frame me because of this, right? You used Old Madam Qian’s life as a pretext to make Fu Jingsheng want to kill me, my dear sister, is that right?”

As Su Mingyue watched her red lips move, her mind went blank.

She couldn't believe things had turned out this way.

It shouldn't be like this.

It's all Fu Jingsheng's fault. He was indecisive and hesitated to make a move against Su Mingyue. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have had to resort to this tactic.

"This is my home. I didn't invite you here. Get out now. You're not welcome here." Su Ziyu was furious that her secret had been exposed and pointed at the Fu family's gate, telling Su Mingyue to leave.

"Why are you getting angry? I've hit the nail on the head. You didn't ask for my permission when you came to my house, so why can't I come and watch the show? Lord Feng, is it alright for me to watch from the sidelines while you handle your case?"

"of course can."

Su Mingyue raised her eyebrows and lifted her chin towards Su Mingyue.

“Young Master Fu, there is sufficient evidence to prove that your wife poisoned the body. According to the laws of our dynasty, I must take her away for questioning.” Lord Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Young Master Fu.

Su Ziyu broke down upon hearing Lord Feng's words: "Fu Jingsheng, you're a good-for-nothing, a useless piece of trash. I was blind to marry you. I thought that as the daughter of a prime minister, you would treat me like a precious jewel. We've only been married a short time, and you've already started to despise me and even hit me. You're not a man."

As Fu Jingsheng listened to her words, he recalled the moments when they first met, and a pang of guilt welled up in his heart. He was about to plead with Lord Feng to use family matters as an excuse not to trouble the Dali Temple with the case, but after Su Ziyu finished cursing, she began to feel nauseous and vomit.

Su Mingyue looked at her and exclaimed, "Sister, what's wrong? You look like you're pregnant. Lord Feng was just about to arrest someone, and you're already pregnant? You can't be faking it, can you?"

After Su Mingyue mentioned it, Su Ziyu seemed to remember that her period was still late, about seven or eight days late.

No way, she's pregnant again.

But in the past month, she and Fu Jingsheng have hardly spent any time together.

“Husband, look at her, she’s talking nonsense again.” Su Ziyu’s expression changed repeatedly.

Her pregnancy absolutely cannot be confirmed at this moment.

"Oh dear, you didn't even let the doctor check if you're pregnant with such a good opportunity. Could it be that the child in your belly isn't Fu Jingsheng's, which is why you're afraid to admit it?" Su Mingyue stared thoughtfully at Su Ziyu's belly, her eyes filled with sympathy as she looked at Fu Jingsheng.
