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

As soon as Su Mingyue left, Madam Qian couldn't wait to order people to clean up Su Mingyue's courtyard.

Fu Jingsheng found her: "Mother, you need to quickly find a matchmaker to go to the Su family and send them the betrothal gift list and marriage certificate. It would be best to choose a date next month to get married, don't delay too long. If she is really pregnant and people find out, Lord Su will not let me off the hook."

Originally, the wedding ceremony should have involved six formal rites, but due to time constraints, the six rites have been combined into three steps: a formal ceremony and a formal ceremony.

Whenever Madam Qian went out, she would inquire about the most famous matchmakers from official families in the area. She would invite them to her door, and when told it was to propose marriage to the Su family, the matchmaker would verbally agree but never actually engage in conversation.

Madam Qian snorted inwardly and offered a red envelope: "I'll have to trouble you with this matter, sister. If the marriage between our two families goes through, there will be a bigger red envelope later."

The matchmaker only agreed to go with Madam Qian and her family after receiving a red envelope.

When Madam Qian entered the Su family mansion, it truly broadened her horizons.

Everything in the Su residence was magnificent and luxurious, far superior to that of the Fu residence.

Madam Su and Lord Su initially disagreed with the matter, but since their daughter agreed, they only symbolically refused once before agreeing.

As for the bride price, it was only 68 taels.

Whether the bride price is respectable or not is another matter.

Madam Su had already made up her mind that she would add sixty more taels of silver to the dowry at the wedding, making a total of one hundred and twenty taels, which would sound good to others.

"Lord Su, Madam Su, please rest assured. Once Ziyu marries into our family, I will treat her like my own daughter and will not let her suffer any injustice."

Looking at her attire and listening to her barely audible words, Madam Su felt utterly disgusted. She couldn't understand what had gotten into her daughter, choosing to marry such a man instead of marrying into so many prestigious families.

"Ziyu has always been the apple of our eye in our family. She has never suffered the slightest grievance and has been pampered since childhood. If she suffers even the slightest grievance in your Fu family, I will take her back home." Madam Su replied directly without any mercy.

This marriage was already a step up for the Fu family. It's unclear what kind of spell Fu Jingsheng cast on his daughter to make her agree to it.

Deep down, she understood a little, and aside from cursing her own daughter for being useless and being deceived by a man so early, she couldn't bring herself to say anything more vile.

Therefore, this engagement not only needs to be finalized, but the wedding date also needs to be set as soon as possible. If Ziyu is really pregnant, it will be a big deal.

Faced with Madam Su's arrogance, Madam Qian felt extremely uncomfortable. She thought coldly to herself, "No matter how prestigious your Su family is, no matter how precious your daughter is, she was still slept with by my son. If it weren't for Lord Su's reputation, and his son not coming to propose marriage, Miss Su would be dreaming if she ever wanted to marry someone as a principal wife."

Even if she were Lord Su's daughter, a woman who lacks self-control and loses her virginity before marriage would only be destined to be a concubine. It's only because she's magnanimous that she didn't pursue the matter.

After thinking it over, Madam Qian dismissed Su Ziyu and Madam Su from her memory.

The Su family accepted the gift list, and the two families amicably set the wedding date. They checked each other's birth dates and exchanged birth certificates, finally choosing an auspicious day: the twelfth of next month.

After Qian left, Madam Su took the gift list to Su Ziyu and said, "This gift list is really stingy, except for one house which is quite impressive."

“Mother, I like Jingsheng as a person, not anything else. Besides, he is talented. As long as Father can help him in the future, my life won’t be hard after I marry him. Maybe he can even climb to the same level as Father in the future.” Su Ziyu believed that as long as Fu Jingsheng was a promising talent, it would be easy for her father to help him if she married him.

As for how high he can climb, he needs to have the ability himself, and with his father's help, anything is possible.
