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

There were quite a few people from the other side; the first few didn't get to eat well, and then another group arrived.

"Qinghu, come here." Su Mingyue looked at the formation opposite and thought that a head-on confrontation was unlikely to succeed, so she might as well go for something bigger.

Although Qinghu didn't understand why the princess had summoned him, he still leaped over to Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue placed her hand on the wall of the room, looking at the group of men in black opposite her, and quietly counted: "One, two, three..."

He turned the mechanism in his hand, and then countless arrows flew towards the men in black.

The dense rain of arrows overwhelmed them, and half of them fell in no time. The remaining half tried to escape, but another volley of arrows followed.

Seeing that only two men in black remained, they exchanged a glance and were about to flee when Qinghu gave chase.

"Come back." Su Mingyue didn't let him go after them: "We have to send one or two back to report."

"Miss, what about this courtyard?" Qinghu stared at the corpses and arrows scattered on the ground, speechless with shock.

The power of that arrow rain was greater than that of dozens of iron cavalrymen.

"Afraid of death, so he had someone design it. How about that? It's even more effective than a master, isn't it?" Just that volley of arrows—even a top-notch expert might not have been able to dodge it.

"It's so useful!" Qingyu was also shocked. "I never expected that Miss would have such a good thing."

Su Mingyue clapped her hands, and Butler Zhao appeared with the guards in the courtyard.

"Manager Zhao, clean this place up so that there is no trace of it."

This was her private room, and now it's covered in blood. It seems she won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Qinghu and Steward Zhao worked together to deal with the corpses. After searching them all, they found some tokens, which looked like the tokens of the Iron Three Gang, each with a large eagle head on it.

"Are they members of the Iron Triangle Gang?" Qingyu looked at the markings and thought of the Iron Triangle Gang from not long ago.

Last time, when Miss caused trouble in Luzhou, although the Iron Three Gang had nowhere to hide and lost three of their leaders, the real mastermind behind it all did not appear.

This incident was very likely orchestrated by the other party.

Su Mingyue looked at the token: "Consider today's events a lesson to them. It seems they already know the Prince is not in the capital, which is why they are in such a hurry to attack me. If nothing unexpected happens, I will receive an imperial decree tomorrow ordering me to go to Qingzhou. I no longer need to go to Qingzhou secretly; I can go openly and honestly."

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"

Su Mingyue yawned: "You all wait here. Hurry up and tidy up this place, I'm going to rest in another room."

……

In the imperial court early in the morning.

The Emperor recalled the memorial recently submitted by the Court of Judicial Review, which stated that the newly appointed top scholar, Fu Jingsheng, had a violent altercation with his wife at home, resulting in his pregnant wife miscarrying and sustaining serious injuries. The Court of Judicial Review wanted to gauge his opinion and determine whether Fu Jingsheng was still eligible to serve as an official.

The Emperor turned to Su Sihai with a stern face: "I heard that Fu Jingsheng had a conflict with your second daughter yesterday, and the two fought fiercely. Your youngest daughter was seriously injured. Is she feeling any better now?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter lost her baby, but she is now safe. Yesterday's events were so sudden that I didn't have time to report to Your Majesty. That Fu Jingsheng went too far, stabbing my daughter over such a trivial matter. If it weren't for Mingyue's ten years of travels abroad, during which she was fortunate enough to be taken in as a disciple by a divine physician with exceptional medical skills who healed her sister, my daughter might not be alive today."

The Emperor, noticing the key point in his words, said, "Oh? You mean Princess Su knows medicine?"

Su Sihai nodded: "After returning to the capital, this child didn't mention it to us. She's been secretly treating people. If my daughter hadn't been seriously injured yesterday and she hadn't appeared to save her, I wouldn't know about it now. Not only is she skilled in medicine, but she's quite good at it. She's even known as the Divine Physician Su in the capital."

“Your Majesty, Fu Jingsheng, as the newly appointed top scholar, acts so impulsively and recklessly that he is truly unworthy of the title.” An official standing nearby suddenly bowed.

"His divorce from his first wife caused a huge uproar in the capital when he was getting married, and now that they've only been married for a short time, he's already fighting with his new wife. It's really outrageous. It's no wonder that Nan Li is not willing to raise such a person to be successful."

"Such a person is not fit for important tasks. I urge Your Majesty to send him back to his hometown."

Fu Jingsheng had a messy divorce before, and now he's fighting with his new wife. It all seems absurd.

She has talent, but she's not good at managing the household.

With unrest in the inner quarters, what good is his talent if he can't move forward?

The Emperor suddenly spoke up: "In the end, this is Su Qing's family matter, and I will not interfere. Su Qing, what do you have to say?"

"He was so ignorant that he almost killed my daughter. Such behavior is simply heinous. I have no complaints about whether he should be beaten or killed. However, my daughter is very close to him. After what happened yesterday, she was still thinking of asking me to speak up for Fu Jingsheng before I went to court. It was just that they got carried away with their conversation and Fu Jingsheng acted impulsively. I would like to ask you to say some good words for Fu Jingsheng in front of the Emperor."

The Emperor is well aware of the feelings between my daughter and him. They were both determined to marry no one but each other. Now that this has happened, they both regret their actions and blame themselves for being too impulsive yesterday, making a fool of themselves.

"Oh." The Emperor's eyes were filled with scrutiny. "Such fighting between husband and wife is truly outrageous. What's the difference between it and intentional murder?"

Su Sihai suddenly knelt down: "Fu Jingsheng has so blatantly disregarded the law and attacked my daughter. This is truly unacceptable. I beg Your Majesty to punish him severely."

The Emperor suddenly laughed: "What is Su Qing doing? It's just a matter between your family, and I shouldn't interfere. If your daughter is alright and you're willing to forgive him, let the Dali Temple give him a few dozen lashes as a warning and send him back."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty." Su Sihai got up from the ground: "My daughter was able to escape with her life yesterday thanks to Mingyue's excellent medical skills."

"I am well aware of her medical skills. She was the one who cured my illness." The Emperor's eyes were unreadable.

Su Mingyue, who had planned to leave early in the morning, didn't rush off. She sat in the courtyard, enjoying her breakfast with a refreshed expression.

Before long, someone indeed came from the palace: "Princess, the Emperor has ordered us to invite you to the palace."

"Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."

Xingchun and Qingyu exchanged a glance, realizing that their young lady had indeed guessed correctly.

……

"Father, I have no intention of forgiving him. Why do you say that I have already forgiven him? He hurt me and stabbed me like that, and even made me unable to have children. I wish he were dead. Why should I let him go?" Su Ziyu refused to sign the letter of forgiveness that Su Sihai was holding.

Fu Jingsheng harmed her unborn child and rendered her infertile. Expecting her to forgive him is impossible.

"Master, why is this? The couple has fallen so badly that they can't live together anymore. Why don't you take this opportunity to ask for a divorce? Fu Jingsheng is a madman. Do you really want Ziyu to go back with him?" Madam Ruan asked worriedly.
