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

Ever since Ye Wushuang guessed that Su Mingyue was in the capital, she has never given up searching for her.

"Young Master, Young Master He sent word that he's asking if you're going to Little Peach Grove. They're having a gathering there today, and quite a few young masters and ladies from prominent families are there," Ye Wen said as he entered from outside.

Normally, the young master would never participate in such an event, and Ye Wen thought that the young master would refuse as before, but he heard the young master say, "Prepare an outfit for me, I need to go out for a bit."

"Young master, where are you going?"

"I'll just go for a walk around the streets. I haven't been feeling well lately, so I haven't been able to go out for a proper stroll. The weather's been nice lately, so it'll be good to go out for a walk."

"Young Master He said they were strolling in the peach grove today. Shall we go there now?"

"Who is there?"

"It seems that both Lord Fu and Miss Su are here."

"Then let's go." Ye Wushuang recalled that someone had impersonated him to attend Fu Jingsheng's thank-you banquet last time, and he suspected that person was Su Mingyue.

She went to the Fu residence; perhaps she met Fu Jingsheng.

There's no harm in going to take a look.

However, when he arrived, it seemed that something had happened at the Peach Blossom Grove, and the young masters and ladies from those noble families dispersed shortly afterward.

"Didn't you say there was a party today? Why is no one here?" Ye Wushuang asked.

Ye Wen was also a little puzzled: "When I went to inquire, they all seemed unwilling to talk about it. It seems like something just happened here?"

Everyone had left, so Ye Wushuang didn't go inside and decided to take a walk in the bustling city center.

"Young master, let me go and inquire again to see what exactly happened in the peach grove?"

"Go ahead." Ye Wushuang nodded.

A short while later, Awen returned and spoke a few words to Ye Wushuang in a mysterious manner.

Ye Wushuang's eyelashes fluttered: "Is there more to this than meets the eye?"

"It seems to be related to Lord Fu's cousin. It's said that his cousin wanted to rise in rank and didn't want Miss Su to enter the family, so she caused this scene. Moreover, I heard that as soon as Lord Fu returned home, he kicked that cousin out of the mansion."

Ye Wushuang wasn't interested in such things; all he wanted to do now was find Su Mingyue.

That girl was truly heartless; she's been gone for ten years.

In the past ten years, apart from occasionally writing him a letter, it has been harder than climbing to heaven for him to find out about her.

"It's probably not that simple." Ye Wushuang wasn't concerned about Fu Jingsheng's family affairs. "Since everyone's gone, let's go for a walk somewhere else."

Ye Wushuang was physically weak and rarely went out, so not many people outside knew him.

When He Boyi saw him on the street, he thought he was seeing things.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Ye? Young Master Ye, you're really feeling better? You can even go shopping now?"

Ye Wushuang pretended not to hear his sarcastic remarks, and simply smiled faintly at him: "I heard there's a nice teahouse nearby, Brother He, why don't we go sit down together?"

“Okay, let’s go together.” He Boyi and Ye Wushuang had never gotten along since they were young. Now that Ye Wushuang had taken the initiative to invite him, he wanted to see what he was up to.

"I heard you were in the peach grove, and I originally planned to go there. But when I got there, I heard you had already left, so I just wandered around."

"Then you're too late. If you'd come earlier, you could have seen quite a few sizzling scenes." He Boyi was a reckless fellow, and when he talked about this, a lewd smile appeared on his face: "You'd never guess what happened."

Ye Wushuang looked completely bewildered: "It's just a stroll in the park, could someone have fallen into the water?"

"Well, there are some things I can't say. But in a while, you should receive invitations to the wedding banquets from the Fu and Su families. Just remember to attend. I really didn't expect that someone like Miss Su would be like that in private. If I had known, Fu Jingsheng wouldn't have had a chance." He Boyi clicked his tongue as he spoke of the scene he witnessed today.

Who would have thought of this if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?

Looking at the aloof, arrogant, and unapproachable Miss Su, it turns out she is actually so passionate and unrestrained in private.

Fu Jingsheng really knows how to play the game; he got her in no time.

Ye Wushuang was a smart man, and with He Boyi having explained things so clearly, it would be difficult for him not to understand.

If it weren't for his fear of the Su family's power, He Boyi could have told this story like a folk tale.

"The two families are already engaged, so it's understandable that something might happen. However, Miss Su is the daughter of the Su family and always acts according to rules. Could there be some hidden story behind what happened today?"

"I heard it was done by Fu Jingsheng's cousin. Who knows if it was her cousin or not? She kept saying that Fu Jingsheng had wronged her and that Fu Jingsheng's family was plotting against her. If she hadn't accidentally carried the sachet, she would have been the one in trouble today."

Ye Wushuang finally understood.

Ultimately, the Fu family wanted to scheme against others, but as fate would have it, they ended up becoming involved themselves.

"Why am I telling you all this? You're not usually interested in these things anyway." Seeing Ye Wushuang's lack of interest, He Boyi quickly changed the subject and ordered a pot of fine tea.

“I’m not really interested in these things in the capital.” Ye Wushuang gestured for Ye Wen to fill his teacup. “But if you’ve been alone in the room for too long, it won’t hurt to listen to some of it.”

“You look fine to me.” He Boyi glanced at him. “If you’re not going to get out and about, people will start to think that you, Young Master Ye, are about to die. It’s good that you’re healthy so that everyone can see it. If no one can see it, which girl would want to marry you? What if you die after you marry her?”

Ye Wenzhen wanted to cover Young Master He's mouth; if you can't speak, then say less.

What kind of talk is that?

His young master will surely live to be a hundred years old.

“You’re right.” Ye Wushuang didn’t refute. “The weather has been nice lately, and I’ve been feeling good too, so I’m planning to go out more often. If Brother He has any interesting sights to see, you can take me with you.”

"That's right." Seeing Ye Wushuang's goodwill towards him, He Boyi felt extremely satisfied: "Don't worry, since you said so, I'll definitely take you all over the capital next time."

Ye Wushuang raised her teacup to him: "This cup is for Brother He. We had some unpleasantness before, but that was when we were young. Now we've both grown up, and those things from our childhood don't seem like a big deal at all."

He Boyi drank the tea.

He was a few months older than Ye Wushuang, so he could easily handle this cup of tea.

“That’s right. On another note, when we were kids, we fought because of Su Yue. I especially liked to bully her, and you couldn’t stand it, so we started fighting. Su Yue, too, has been gone for ten years, and we don’t even know where she is. If she were still in the Su family, she would be the eldest daughter of the Su family, living a life of unparalleled glory.”

When the topic turned to their childhood friend Su Yue, both of them fell silent.
