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

Su Mingyue naturally understood that Su Ziyu had already recognized her.

Back then, if Su Ziyu hadn't framed her, saying that she pushed Su Ziyu into the water, causing her father to believe her and take Su Ziyu's side in front of everyone in the mansion, and even punish her, she wouldn't have left in a fit of anger with her mother's dowry.

It has been ten years since I left.

Su Ziyu did not want to acknowledge her, simply because she did not want others to know her identity, and even more so, she did not want her to return to the Su family mansion.

Su Ziyu knew in her heart that no matter whether she was favored or not, as long as she returned to the Su family, everyone would remember that the Su family had a legitimate daughter.

Su Ziyu's mother was merely a concubine who rose to power.

Who would be so foolish as to expose their shameful side to the public?

After leaving the restaurant, Ye Wushuang offered to escort her back, but she refused.

She doesn't want anyone to know her current address, including Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang watched her retreating figure, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Yueyue really only saw him as a childhood friend, and had no other feelings for him.

Fu Jingsheng, that bastard, won Yueyue's love, but then threw her love into the mud and ruined her like that.

Don't you think about it? If he hadn't spent money and effort every month to help her find a family and support her education, he would still be struggling to make ends meet somewhere, let alone becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination.

However, in order to make things difficult for Fu Jingsheng, Yueyue said that she had her own plan.

For Yueyue's sake, he'll wait and see.

……

Su Mingyue has indeed begun to close the net.

For example, the money that Fu Jingsheng lent out was at her behest.

On the eve of Fu Jingsheng's wedding, the creditors blocked his way: "Lord Fu, we are not here to collect debts from you today, but to ask you for interest. We agreed on one hundred taels of silver per month in interest. I wonder if Lord Fu is prepared for that?"

Fu Jingsheng borrowed a total of five thousand taels of silver from them, with an interest rate of one hundred taels per month.

Fu Jingsheng looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before replying, "It hasn't even been a month yet, what's the rush?"

The interest is one hundred taels per month.

He doesn't even earn that much in a month; these people are really robbing him.

"Lord Fu, when we borrowed the money, we agreed that it would be a 28-day cycle. Today marks exactly 28 days, so we came here."

Fu Jingsheng, fearing they would cause a commotion, gently persuaded them, "Look at what you're saying, do you think I'd owe you a hundred taels? You wait here, I'll send someone back to get the silver right away."

In the past, Fu Jingsheng wouldn't have thought that one hundred taels was a big problem.

Whenever he needed money, he could go to the money exchange to withdraw it.

To prevent him from worrying about money, Su Mingyue deposited a sum of money in a money exchange and never stopped sending him money.

Since Su Mingyue left the Fu family, the Fu family has had no income at all.

The daily expenses are considerable.

Fu Jingsheng began to regret buying the estate in the suburbs.

Eighty-eight thousand taels of silver went down, and not even a ripple was heard.

His family urgently needs money, and he has no other choice but to borrow it from others.

"Alright, we'll wait here for Lord Fu. Lord Fu, you must hurry. If we don't receive the silver within an hour, we'll have to go to the manor."

“It’s only a hundred taels of silver, how could I possibly be short of you?” Fu Jingsheng said somewhat angrily, “If the silver I deposited in the bank hadn’t matured yet, I wouldn’t have had to ask you for a loan.”

"Yes, Lord Fu is about to form a marriage alliance with the Su family, so he should have no shortage of money. We are just here to collect the interest at the request of our master. After we collect the interest, we will leave without disturbing Lord Fu in the slightest."
