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

The news of the marriage alliance between the Fu and Su families was known to everyone in the capital.

One is the newly appointed top scholar of the imperial examination, exceptionally talented and handsome. The other is the daughter of the Grand Secretary, the most talented woman in the capital, possessing both beauty and talent.

If Prime Minister Su hadn't refused to side with any of the princes, the scene of "finding a son-in-law after the imperial examination results" might not have happened.

To demonstrate his loyalty to the Emperor, Lord Su tacitly accepted the scenario of his daughter falling for the top scholar in the imperial examination.

The day after tomorrow is their wedding day, and the whole capital is paying attention to this wedding.

One was a brilliant and talented scholar who had passed the imperial examination. The other was a beautiful young lady from the Su family.

Many people envied Fu Jingsheng. With the Su family's connections, his official career would surely be smooth sailing.

It's only a matter of time before he reaches the same level as Prime Minister Su.

Fu Jingsheng returned to his residence, retrieved the silver notes, and had his servants deliver them.

The Fu family could certainly afford a mere hundred taels.

Furthermore, with the wedding imminent, the arrival of Ziyu signifies the influx of immense wealth into the family.

Whether it's the money he borrows outside or the household expenses in the future, someone will take care of everything, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Thinking this way, the slight guilt he felt towards Su Mingyue just now vanished without a trace.

Ziyu is about to enter the house. If Su Mingyue disobeys and suddenly causes a scene, not only will he lose face, but the entire Su family will also be disgraced.

So he had to find a way to keep Su Mingyue away so that she wouldn't have the chance to come to his door.

After thinking it over, he summoned his page.

This pageboy was found for him by Su Mingyue. When he came to the capital to study, Su Mingyue was afraid that he would not be able to take care of himself, so she found this pageboy for him.

Now that he is Lord Fu, his page has naturally become his personal attendant and steward.

"Zisong," Fu Jingsheng instructed him, "I'll write you a letter, and you can take it to Su Mingyue."

He knew that Su Mingyue had been living in Huaihua Lane after leaving the Fu family, and he also knew that she had been restless lately, trying to seduce the young master of the Ye family.

Don't they realize what kind of family the Ye family is? How could they possibly marry a divorced woman? They're overestimating themselves.

She could consider it when he was in a good mood and took her back to the Fu residence.

Zisong took the letter and went directly to the house where Su Mingyue was currently living.

The house where Su Mingyue lives now holds a secret.

Upon entering the courtyard, one can immediately tell that it is an old and dilapidated place, exuding decay in every way. The only bright spot is a locust tree in the center of the courtyard, lush and verdant with thick trunks and abundant foliage.

Zisong knew that his wife had not been doing well after leaving the Fu family, but he did not expect her to live in such a courtyard.

Su Mingyue didn't come out; it was Xing Chun who did.

"Miss Xingchun." Zisong stepped forward and handed her the letter: "This is a letter from Lord Fu to Madam."

"She is no longer Mrs. Fu, she is Miss Su."

"Back then, Miss Su took pity on me and bought me to be by Lord Fu's side. Zisong has always remembered Miss Su's kindness. I wonder how Miss Su is doing these days?" Zisong was also indignant on Miss Su's behalf.

"She's much better now that she's away from the place that made her uncomfortable. I'll give the letter to Miss; please go back now."

"Please take care, Miss."

Xingchun took the letter and turned to go into the inner courtyard.

After passing through a long corridor, you'll find a truly hidden world inside.

The pavilions and towers, with their carved beams and painted rafters, make it feel as if one has stumbled into a fairyland.

"Miss, this is a letter that Zisong just delivered." Xingchun placed the letter on the table. Fu Jingsheng's wedding is the day after tomorrow; what good could a letter be arriving at this time?
