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

Ruan rushed forward and slapped Liu Yiyi twice across the face.

Two sharp slaps left Liu Yiyi somewhat dazed.

"Madam, what are you doing? There's a fight outside, and the shopkeeper brought me in to avoid it. He didn't mean to disturb you. It's not right for you to come up and hit someone like that." Liu Yiyi covered her face, pretending not to recognize the other person.

"Pretend, keep pretending. Don't think I don't know who you are. A mistress is a mistress, she can't be seen in the light of day no matter where she goes. How dare you come here, and even come to me? I was just about to go and cause you trouble. Since you've delivered yourself to my door, don't blame me for being impolite." As she spoke, Madam Ruan reached out and grabbed Liu Yiyi's hair.

Liu Yiyi turned to leave, but was dragged inside by Madam Ruan.

"Ziyu, what are you standing there for? The person is right in front of us, if we don't teach them a lesson now, when will we?" Madam Ruan was quite angry at this moment. Back at the Su residence, she had been restraining herself, telling him not to cause her any trouble.

When the person actually came to her, she couldn't stand it. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she wouldn't be a Ruan.

Liu Yiyi never expected that she would run into the Ruan mother and daughter when she just entered the room temporarily.

Hearing the commotion inside, the shopkeeper quickly came in and pulled them apart. "Madams, let's talk this out. There's no need to resort to violence. There was a fight outside, and the situation was bad, so I brought this lady in here."

"Shopkeeper, I thought your shop only catered to aristocratic and powerful families. I never imagined that those shady, low-class people would also come to your shop to have their clothes made. We're not making any clothes this month; we think they're dirty."

"Mrs. Su, what do you mean by this? I don't know what has upset you."

"This shop is either her or me. She's a shameless mistress who dares to think she's on equal footing with me. She's really giving herself a hard time. Now kick her out, and we'll come back here again. If you don't kick her out, don't even think about us setting foot here again."

The shopkeeper quickly understood what was going on.

The two Mrs. Sus in front of me are, one the legal wife and the other the concubine.

It's her fault too; in her haste, she pushed someone inside.

Now that the two are facing each other, a dispute is inevitable.

"Sister, why make things difficult for the shopkeeper? There's no need for the shopkeeper to kick me out; I'll leave on my own."

Just as Liu Yiyi was about to leave, two more ladies arrived outside. Seeing the argument taking place, they came over to watch the commotion.

"Shopkeeper, it's so lively here today! What's going on?" It was Madam Wang who spoke. She and another lady had come over to look at the clothes.

"Isn't this Madam Su? Madam Su, why are you in such a disheveled state? Did you get into a fight?" Madam Wang took a few steps forward, looked at Madam Su, and then at Liu Yiyi, as if she had discovered something terrible.

Ruan Shi did not expect that Madam Wang and the others would be there.

The fact that Su Sihai is keeping a mistress is currently unknown within their social circle, and she doesn't want anyone to know. If Madam Wang finds out, it would be as if the entire upper-class circle of the capital knew.

"Is there any need to guess? It must be that Lord Su has been keeping a mistress outside, and Madam Su has found out. Madam Su is currently teaching that vixen a lesson." The speaker was Madam Xue, who had a good relationship with Madam Wang.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang exaggeratedly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "My goodness! Lord Su seems like such an upright and family-oriented man. I never imagined he would keep a mistress outside the home."

“What man doesn’t stray?” Madam Xue chuckled. “Madam Su, this mistress is dishonest, daring to act arrogantly in front of you. She should be taught a good lesson. If she doesn’t learn her lesson, she’ll dare to hang around in front of you again, shameless.”

Just moments ago, Madam Ruan had been exclaiming that things were not going to go well, and that Su Sihai's affair with a mistress was about to be exposed. Now, seeing the mockery in Madam Wang's eyes, the anger she had just suppressed rose again: "Shuangjiang, stop her! Don't let her get away! I, this lady, must have a good talk with her and see how she seduces the master!"

Liu Yiyi looked at Madam Ruan and said, "Sister, I really don't understand what you're saying. If you want me to leave, I'll leave now. Why all the fuss?"

"That's right, it was you. I saw with my own eyes the master go to your courtyard and be intimate with you." Madam Ruan sneered, "What, you think I don't know? You think you've kept it a secret?"

"Then what do you want? To be brought before the master?"

"You think you can get the master to save you? Dream on." Madam Ruan looked at her; "Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson, strip you naked, and throw you out into the street."

"Don't go too far. I'm the master's woman. You can't treat me like this. If the master finds out, he will definitely not let you off." Liu Yiyi's gentle and quiet face was red-eyed, and she seemed hesitant to speak.

"Really? What will Master do to me? Does he intend to divorce me and marry you? If Master wanted to marry you, he would have done so long ago. Why would he have kept you outside for over ten years? Guards, strip her clothes off and throw her outside." Perhaps because Madam Wang and the others were present today, Madam Ruan was seething with anger and determined to teach Liu Yiyi a lesson.

Su Ziyu gestured for the two old women behind her to come forward.

"What are you trying to do?" Que Ling stood in front of her mistress. "Our mistress never intended to provoke you. It was just a coincidence that we met today. Madam Su, please let our mistress go. You can't lay a hand on her. If Lord Su finds out you're causing trouble outside, he'll be furious. Please think it over."

Her mistress had been with Lord Su for over a decade, and in all that time, she had hardly ever left the house, let alone provoked the principal wife. Despite being so dutiful, she was still being targeted by Madam Su; she felt indignant on her mistress's behalf.

"When the masters are speaking, it's not your place to interrupt."

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!"

Madam Wang and the others stood aside watching the spectacle. Their trip today hadn't been in vain; they'd witnessed such a grand spectacle.

Liu Yiyi was stripped of her clothes by Ruan's old woman and thrown onto the street.

The old woman grabbed Liu Yiyi's clothes and shouted loudly, calling everyone to come and see: "Everyone, come and see! This slut dared to seduce another man, and this is what happens to her!"

In no time, the news that the wife of the Su family had beaten her mistress and stripped her clothes off and thrown them on the street spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

As soon as get out of class ended, Su Guanzheng saw a large crowd gathered not far ahead. Luckily, a classmate invited him to go and see what was going on.

He saw the woman who had been spying on him every day standing naked in the street. He recognized the old woman who had stripped her clothes; she was one of his mother's servants.

"Guanzheng, it seems to be your mother and the others. The woman whose clothes were stripped off is your father's mistress. Your mother found out today, gave her a severe beating, and even stripped her clothes off and threw them into the street." The classmate quickly figured out what had happened and hurried over to tell Su Guanzheng.
