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

Hearing that her mother had pawned the jewelry Su Mingyue had given them for nearly five thousand taels of silver, she couldn't help but scoff, "So much for only five thousand taels. The things she gives are really worthless. My sister Ziyu can easily give away over ten thousand taels of jewelry. It's incomparable."

Those things weren't worth much anyway, so let them go. It's no big deal. As long as our new sister-in-law is in the family, and we treat her well, the things she gives us will definitely be better than what that stingy Su Mingyue gives us.”

Madam Qian thought about it and agreed: "That's what I think too. When Su Mingyue married into our family, she wasn't poor. She had a full 100,000 taels of silver, but look at the jewelry she gave us, it's really too cheap. We couldn't wear jewelry like that in the capital, people would laugh at us to death."

"That's right. The most valuable jewelry is the pair of bracelets she gave me when we got married, which people were willing to pay a thousand taels for. Most of the rest are worth a hundred or two hundred taels, and some are only ten or twenty taels. With jewelry like that sitting here, I wouldn't dare wear it out; it would be a disgrace."

Which piece of jewelry in my box is the most valuable?

"A jade pendant made of the same material as my bracelets is worth a thousand taels of silver. If it weren't for these two items, it wouldn't be worth five thousand taels of silver."

"That jade pendant is so valuable! I should have kept it instead of selling it." Fu Jingying actually kept a few more pieces.

She kept the more valuable pieces of jewelry. She hadn't expected the jade pendant to be so valuable; otherwise, she would have kept it too.

"Just a thousand taels of silver, look how capable you are." Madam Qian pursed her lips: "Do you want any furniture made for your room? I've hired a craftsman to come over. Tell the craftsman what kind of furniture you want, and he'll arrange it accordingly."

"Which carpenter did you hire?" Fu Jingying, who had gone out with Su Ziyu, was no longer the young girl who had just come from a small county town: "They said that it wouldn't be impressive to just have a car made at home, so we had to buy from Hong Ji. Their furniture has beautiful designs and exquisite workmanship."

"They're all made by skilled craftsmen, what's the difference? Don't be picky, it's good enough that they made them for you." Madam Qian said dismissively.

The custom-made and the store-bought are not the same; they are both made by carpenters. As for the style, just make it like the ones from my hometown; that's fine too.

"Oh dear, you can handle this little matter yourself." Seeing that her mother was unwilling to spend money to buy it outside, Fu Jingying told Qian Shi to handle it herself.

In her mind, her older brother was getting married. The things used for the wedding would definitely be of high quality, and she could just go along and benefit from it.

……

Su Mingyue couldn't have been happier these days. She no longer had to serve her mother-in-law and sister-in-law; she felt completely free.

Yes, she was always free; when did she confine herself?

Seeing that her young mistress was going to the gambling den again, Xingchun refused to agree no matter what.

"Miss, we almost didn't make it back last time. Let's not go this time. If they recognize us, they'll skin us alive." Xingchun pinched her mistress's clothes, neither moving herself nor letting her go.

"You're such a coward," Su Mingyue said helplessly. "It's been so long, and they're still watching us every day. I promise, this time I'm not going to mess around, I'm just going to take a look."

"No." Xingchun wouldn't let go: "I can agree to anything else, but not this."

"You silly girl," Su Mingyue said helplessly, "This is the only time. I promise it won't happen again."

Xingchun is starting to think about letting go.

Our young lady has just come out of the pain of divorce, it seems a bit excessive to not let her go.

"I have a plan. Wait for me outside." Su Mingyue looked at Ye Wushuang not far away and jogged over.

Awakening Spring: Stomping Feet.

What is Miss doing? Do you want to take Young Master Ye with you?

Ye Wushuang looked at Su Mingyue running towards him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Why are you running so fast?"

"I thought you weren't coming. Come on, let me show you around." Su Mingyue looked at the gambling den in front of her.

Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I've tried going in with a woman before."

"Who do you think you are? I'll show you your skills later." Since leaving the Su family at the age of ten, he has seen all kinds of situations.

This time, Su Mingyue dressed up as a young master, and standing next to Ye Wushuang, they were evenly matched.

Ye Wubi looked at her attire, his eyes full of smiles: "You seem to know this all by heart, you must have done this quite a lot before."

"No problem." Su Mingyue chuckled and went inside with Ye Wushuang.

This time, she really didn't want to go all out; she just wanted to have some casual fun with people on the first floor.

Ye Wushuang stood beside her and collected the money for her.

She was good at everything else, her skills were good, and she was lucky too. After a few rounds, she won some games.

Su Mingyue's presence here was not without purpose.

She wants to lure someone out.

That person is elusive, only appearing occasionally.

She wasn't sure if the other person would show up here, so she had to make a big splash and let everyone know that she was a formidable person.

With Ye Wushuang by her side, she could play to her heart's content without worrying about those people causing her trouble.

Upstairs, a fat man looked down at Su Mingyue and squinted, saying, "Where did that kid come from? He's having quite a bit of fun."

"It was brought by Young Master Ye. The Ye family has considerable influence in the capital; we can't touch them."

"Young Master Ye has been recuperating in his residence. Why did he suddenly find the mood to come out and even bring people with him?"

"We outsiders wouldn't know anything about the affairs of the Ye family. Since he brought these people, we should give him some face. If we offend the Ye family, our gambling den will be in deep trouble."

Just as Su Mingyue was hesitating whether to stop, a young man wearing a mask suddenly entered the gambling den.

As soon as he arrived, everyone made way for him.

"Ninth Master is here," someone said.

Ninth Master is a regular at the gambling den, but he doesn't usually make a move easily. Whenever he does, someone will suffer.

Ninth Master sat down directly opposite Su Mingyue, his meaning clear: he wanted to have a match with Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue's eyes lit up when she looked at the man in front of her.

The person she's looking for is none other than him.

Whether it is or not, let's play a few rounds first.

The two players' skills were unpredictable, and after four rounds, the score was tied.

"That kid is impressive, he can rival Ninth Master. What's his background?"

"I heard it was brought by the young master of the Ye family."

The masked man exuded a cold and aloof aura; if it were an ordinary person, they would have already lost out before even facing him.

Su Mingyue ignored all of that and was single-mindedly focused on winning against her opponent.

"Yueyue, I think this person is not someone to mess with. Let's just let it go and not provoke him." Ye Wushuang saw that the other party's eyes were frighteningly cold and whispered a reminder.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Su Mingyue smiled faintly: "This is the last round."

In the final round, Ninth Master naturally won. Su Mingyue clasped her hands in a fist salute and then prepared to leave with Ye Wushuang.
