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

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the other party's purchase list.

It has everything you need for food, drink, daily necessities, and clothing, and in huge quantities.

Based on the quantity purchased, it could support at least tens of thousands of people.

With so many supplies, where to send them and what to do with them is a big problem.

"Once you receive an order, prepare well and pay attention to where it's being delivered. Who placed the order?"

"It's Young Master Zhao from the Zhao family. He's cooperated with our chamber of commerce before and is considered a regular customer. He knows us very well."

……

As Su Mingyue was leaving the hexagonal building and heading back to the Su residence, she saw Uncle Xu rushing towards her: "Miss, this old servant has finally found you. Please come back with me quickly, something has happened at home."

She's only been out for half a day, could it be that Madam Ruan and Aunt Liu got into a fight?

This is unlikely.

"Uncle Xu, what happened at home?"

"It was the young master who heard from somewhere that he was Aunt Liu's son, and he went to confront Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath and fainted. This matter involves the secrets of the Su family, and the master said that he would ask Miss to go back for treatment and would not summon any other doctors to the mansion."

It is certainly not a glorious thing for the legitimate son raised in the mansion to be born to a concubine.

"Go back."

Aunt Liu fainted, which gave her a good opportunity to check on Aunt Liu's condition.

Su Sihai made Su Guanzheng kneel outside Aunt Liu's door while he paced back and forth in the courtyard. Seeing Su Mingyue return, he immediately said, "Mingyue, Aunt Liu has fainted. Go and check on her quickly."

Su Mingyue sat directly in front of Aunt Liu's bed and began to take her pulse.

Aunt Liu lay on the bed with her eyes closed. Her skin was so good that she looked just like a sleeping beauty.

When Madam Ruan heard that Su Guan was being punished by kneeling in Aunt Liu's courtyard, she rushed over and tried to help him up, saying with heartache, "Master, Zheng'er is still a child. What mistake has he made that requires him to kneel like this?"

Su Guan turned his face away and remained silent.

He fought with Wang Wenran because Wang Wenran said that he was born to a mistress, and he got angry when he heard this.

He is not a concubine's son; he is the legitimate son of the Su family.

"Make him kneel properly and reflect on his actions." Su Sihai didn't mince words: "So what if Aunt Liu is your biological mother? You're angry at your own mother, and you still think you're right."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ruan's body trembled.

So Zheng'er found out about this and came specifically to ask Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi couldn't bear the questioning and fainted from anger.

"Zheng'er, get up quickly. You didn't know what happened back then, and ignorance is no excuse. I don't blame you. You were raised by me. As long as you're willing, I'm your birth mother, and you're my own son." After all, he was the son she had raised, and how could Madam Ruan bear to let him suffer?

Just seeing him kneeling there made her heart ache.

Su Guan was being scolded by his father and felt wronged. Hearing Ruan Shi's words, he immediately threw himself into Ruan Shi's arms and cried bitterly: "Mother, this is not true. How could I be a concubine's son? You must have made a mistake, right?"

From a young age, he knew he was the legitimate son, and his father had high hopes for him. He studied diligently to follow in his father's footsteps. But now he was being told that he was not the legitimate son at all, but merely a son of a concubine.

His mother was raised by his father outside the home for more than ten years.

"No matter what, you are the legitimate son of the Su family, and that cannot be changed."

Su Ziyu watched Ruan Shi being close to her younger brother and sneered inwardly.

Her mother is still not giving up; she wants to recognize someone else's son as her own.

Su Mingyue seemed not to hear the crying outside. After a while, she said to Su Sihai, "Father, Aunt Liu's body is very cold and she is severely depleted. Did she fall into the water before and develop a cold-related illness?"

Upon hearing her words, Su Sihai's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Su Mingyue in disbelief.

Her medical skills are truly remarkable; she was even able to diagnose illnesses from many years ago.

Su Sihai nodded: "That's right. She fell into the water many years ago, and her body was chilled after that, so she couldn't take any nourishing supplements."

“Besides catching a cold, she also took some medications that were harmful to her body. She looks healthy, but she is actually very weak. I will prescribe a medicine for Aunt Liu to help her regulate her body.”

She has now confirmed that Liu Yiyi is the deceased Consort Mei from the palace.

Consort Mei fell into the water, and so did Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi's body was severely depleted because she had taken a drug that caused her to appear to be in a state of suspended animation.

Su Mingyue didn't inquire about the relationship between Aunt Liu and Su Guanzheng. Su Sihai asked her to treat a patient, so she did. After writing the prescription, she handed it to Uncle Xu and asked him to get the medicine.

"Mingyue, come to my study in a moment, I have something to say to you," Su Sihai called out to her as she was about to leave.

"Okay, I'll leave the medicine box and head over."

As Su Mingyue passed by Ruan Shi and Su Guanzheng, her gaze lingered on them for a moment.

If Lady Ruan knew the fate of her own flesh and blood, it's hard to imagine whether she would still be able to love this other person's son.

Su Mingyue put down the medicine box and went to Su Sihai's study.

"Mingyue, we called you here because it's been a long time since my daughter and I had a heart-to-heart talk. Do you have any questions for your father about Aunt Liu?"

Su Mingyue lowered her eyebrows: "Indeed, I have some questions for Father. Aunt Liu's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to my biological mother's. I want to ask Father, did you know my mother first or Aunt Liu first? Between them, who is your lover and who is a substitute?"

Su Sihai originally thought that Su Mingyue would ask him who Su Guanzheng's son was, but he did not expect Su Mingyue to ask such a question.

"Of course, I met your mother first. When I was on my way to the capital for the imperial examination, I had an accident. If it weren't for your mother's help, I would have lost my qualification for the examination, let alone the path to becoming the top scholar. In my heart, your mother is not only my wife, but also my benefactor."

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. When she was pregnant with you, something happened in your maternal grandparents' family, which affected her pregnancy and caused her to almost die from severe bleeding during childbirth. Although she was saved, her body was severely weakened. I searched for famous doctors everywhere, but in the end, I still couldn't save your mother.

After your mother passed away, I lost all interest in official duties; my mind was filled with thoughts of her. Once, when I returned to my hometown to pay respects to our ancestors, I unexpectedly discovered Liu Yiyi. She looked remarkably like your mother, not only in appearance but also in personality. At that time, I missed your mother so much that one time, after getting drunk, I mistook Aunt Liu for your mother and took advantage of her.

Later, I brought her back to the capital. Because she was quiet by nature, disliked crowds, and was not good at socializing, she told me that she did not want to enter the mansion. She only asked me to find her a house outside, so that I could visit her whenever I had time.

"You were still young then, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept her, so I bought her a house outside the city according to her wishes. That's how I settled her there. Whenever I miss your mother, I go to see her. If it weren't for her being with me all these years, I probably would have gone down to find your mother long ago." Su Sihai's eyes were red as he said these words, showing how deeply he loved his wife.
