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

Su Mingyue chuckled as she listened to his words.

"Outside? Did you spread that word yourself? I remember sending you a lot of medicine years ago. That medicine could cure your illness; it's utter nonsense to say you won't live past twenty-five. Unless you spread those words yourself, and you don't want people to know that you're already cured."

"We see through each other but don't say anything, so we can still be good friends. And you, all these years, have you gotten married?"

"I got married." Su Mingyue said frankly, "I just got divorced recently."

"They're divorced?" Ye Wushuang exclaimed in surprise. "Is that man blind? How could he bear to divorce such a good girl like you?"

"When people have better options, how could a girl like me stand out? It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."

"Is he also in the capital?" Ye Wushuang wanted to know which man was so blind.

"You'll find out eventually," Su Mingyue said without saying it directly.

"After all these years, you really don't consider me a good friend anymore; you didn't even tell me about something this important."

"Young man, don't be in such a hurry." Su Mingyue took a sip of tea. "What have you been doing lately? Serving as an official in the court, or something else?"

In the first few years after she left home, she often wrote letters to Ye Wushuang.

After meeting Fu Jingsheng, she almost completely severed ties with people in Beijing and stopped contacting anyone.

"Unemployed." Ye Wushuang chuckled. "What achievements could a sickly man like me possibly make?"

Su Mingyue rolled her eyes at him: "Come on, you've always loved to pretend since you were little."

Ye Wushuang said helplessly, "You never tell me anything about your affairs."

"Forget it, it's true what they say, once you grow up, friendships disappear." Su Mingyue stood up to leave.

Ye Wushuang quickly made her sit down: "You just arrived and you're leaving? If you don't sit with me for an hour today, you're not going anywhere."

"What's the point of drinking tea? I'm hungry. It's been years since I've had a meal at a grand restaurant in Beijing. Why don't you arrange something for me?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Ye Wushuang said with a hint of helplessness, "I'll have Awen go order first, and we'll have tea here. Your preferences should be the same as when you were little."

"You decide what to do; the taste hasn't changed much."

The two left the teahouse and went directly to the Grand Hotel in Beijing.

As I went inside, I encountered a group of people.

Fu Jingsheng was among them.

Fu Jingsheng glanced at Su Mingyue, then quickly looked away, as if afraid others would know that he knew Su Mingyue.

As his gaze swept over Ye Wushuang, a question arose in his mind. Su Mingyue had just arrived in the capital and didn't know many people. Who was the man beside her?

Anger immediately rose in his heart.

Well, Su Mingyue, no wonder you're so eager for a divorce. You're just trying to climb the social ladder in the capital.

Su Mingyue automatically ignored Fu Jingsheng.

He pretended not to know her, and she pretended not to know him either.

"Ye Wushuang." He Boyi came downstairs and saw him at a glance: "I just asked you to have dinner with you guys, but you didn't agree. In the blink of an eye, you brought a young girl in. You've really kept it well hidden."

Ye Wushuang looked at them and smiled faintly, "You've finished eating."

He Boyi looked at Su Mingyue, who was dressed in light blue with simple hair accessories, and seemed familiar.

He then slapped his forehead and remembered who the other person was.

Isn't this the cousin who was kicked out of Fu Jingsheng's house?

Seeing that Fu Jingsheng seemed unwilling to talk to him, he patted Ye Wushuang on the shoulder and whispered a reminder: "I'm just reminding you once because I consider you a friend, this woman is not simple, so be careful."
