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

Song Mingyuan was having dinner with a group of cronies when suddenly a woman knelt in front of him. Several young men around him teased him, "Young master, you're quite lucky with women. You just stepped out the door and a woman came to you."

Song Mingyuan looked at her, as if he had seen her somewhere before. His attendant told him, "Your Highness, this woman originally said she wanted to be your concubine, but then she changed her mind."

He kicked the person far away: "You didn't want to marry me before, and now I don't care about you either. Get lost, and don't let me see you."

"Young Master, if you don't want such a beauty, how about giving her to me?" A young man dressed in white helped Fu Jingying up and asked Song Mingyuan for her.

"Take him home if you want," Song Mingyuan waved his hand impatiently. "Don't get in my way."

"My little beauty, what happened? You look so pitiful. If you need any help, please tell me. I am the most helpful person and will not leave you alone."

Seeing that the other person was dressed in fine clothes and was with the heir of the Marquis of Changning, Fu Jingying figured that he must have been born into a wealthy and noble family. She leaned into the young man's arms, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, young master. My room has been occupied, and I have nowhere to go. Could you help me find a place to stay?"

“That’s easy.” The young man in white hugged the person tighter. “Come on, I’ll take you there.”

"No rush, I still have things to take. Please help me move first, young master."

The man in white is Yuan, a notorious playboy.

When Young Master Yuan arrived at the Fu family's residence, he saw that the house had been sealed off, but many valuable items had been moved out. He moved all these items to his outer courtyard and arranged for Fu Jingying to stay there that night.

“Miss Fu, I fell in love with you at first sight. Would you be willing to come with me? I promise that as long as you are with me, I will provide you with a life of luxury.”

"Then will you marry me?"

Young Master Yuan immediately raised his hand and said, "Of course. I will definitely marry you."

Having lost her backer in the capital, Fu Jingying desperately needed to find one. Seeing that Young Master Yuan was handsome and came from a good family, she slept with him that very night and became his woman.

The next morning, Young Master Yuan and Fu Jingying spent some time together before he got up and left, saying that he would send her a few maids later and that he would not mistreat her.

Seeing how considerate he was, Fu Jingying felt a surge of happiness.

It seems she made the right choice yesterday; following Young Master Yuan was the right decision.

No sooner had Young Master Yuan left than a fat woman had her maid smash open the door.

As soon as she entered, she began directing the maids to empty the courtyard of all its belongings.

"Not only did he keep a mistress behind his mother's back, but he also bought so much stuff. Move it all out, take it all out from your mother."

Hearing the noise, Fu Jingying quickly got dressed and got up.

Upon entering the courtyard, one sees a wealthy-looking, plump woman directing her servants to move the things she had brought from her home the day before.

"Stop, stop! Those things are all mine, you can't take them away."

Madam Yuan looked at Fu Jingying, then caught a glimpse of her ambiguous attire, and her anger was beyond control. She stepped forward and slapped her twice: "You slut, I was just looking for you, and here you are, coming out on your own. You dare to seduce my man? Who gave you the guts? Guards, tie her up and lock her in the woodshed, let her see what the consequences are for offending me."

If Fu Jingying were to inquire, she would learn that the young master Yuan was a notorious playboy, and that he had a shrewish wife at home. If she discovered her husband was having an affair, she would surely come knocking and torment the woman to the point of wishing she were dead.

Once Fu Jingying falls into Madam Yuan's hands, she'll be severely punished; Madam Yuan will never let her go.

Fu Jingying was not about to give in. He disregarded everything and tried to fight for his belongings, but a servant pushed him, causing his head to hit a pillar and bleed profusely.

"Madam, she..." The servant was startled by the sight of her bleeding profusely.

"Whatever she's doing, move all these things away." Madam Yuan didn't even glance at them. "Get the hell out of my sight. If I see you still trying to seduce my husband, you're dead."

Madam Yuan swaggered away with the things Fu Jingying had moved out of the Fu family home. Fu Jingying lay on the ground, blood streaming from his head, and no one paid him any attention.

She tried to get up, but she felt dizzy and couldn't stand up at all.

She could only lie in the courtyard, watching the sky change from day to evening. Hot and hungry, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

In her dazed state, she seemed to see her older brother and mother coming to pick her up.

They walked towards her, extended their hands to her, and said with smiles: "Ying'er, come here quickly. Our family should be together. How can we bear to let you suffer alone in this world?"

She reached out her hand to them, but the scene changed, and Fu Jingsheng reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

“Jingying, she is your sister-in-law, how could you push her? If you hadn’t pushed her, she wouldn’t have been hurt, much less died.”

It wasn't her; she didn't kill her sister-in-law.

She woke up in the middle of the night.

It was pitch black outside, and her courtyard was even more deserted. She tried to get up, but she had no strength at all.

After a strong gust of wind, a torrential downpour ensued.

Large raindrops fell and pelted her.

The rain stopped at some point, and she felt very hot all over, but then she felt very cold.

She wants to go home.

Let's go back to the years when my eldest brother in Fu Family Village had just married his sister-in-law.

She lived a life of luxury at home, never having to do any work, only needing to go out and show off every day.

Those were truly the happiest years of her life.

Unfortunately, those days were gone forever after my eldest brother became the top scholar in the imperial examination and married his sister-in-law.

If she could turn back time, she would not have supported her elder brother's remarriage, nor would she have listened to her mother and tried to frame her sister-in-law for being unclean.

She struggled to crawl towards the door.

She was going to apologize to Sister-in-law Mingyue.

She was wrong, so wrong.

She's about to die; I wonder if Sister-in-law Mingyue will forgive her.

Early in the morning, people discovered Fu Jingying's already cold body. Some people recognized her as Fu Jingying, the sister of the top scholar Fu, and carried her body to the gate of the Prime Minister's residence.

After all, Scholar Fu's wife was the second young lady of the Su family.

When Su Ziyu heard that Fu Jingying had become someone's concubine, which led to her being beaten by the first wife and dying the next day, she coldly said, "That's what she deserved. Fu Jingsheng is dead, so what kind of sister-in-law am I? Hasn't the Fu family always said that Su Mingyue is the daughter-in-law they wanted? Go tell the eldest young lady this news and let her handle it."

Fu Jingsheng is dead, and she and Fu Jingsheng are no longer husband and wife.

Now that the Fu family is dead, what does it have to do with her?
