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

"What good ideas does Mother have?"

"Where does she live now? Just throw a drunkard over there and have her sleep with him, then call over the neighbors and let them all join in the fun. Once she's had that kind of relationship with someone, it'll be hard for her not to get married."

Su Ziyu listened to her mother's words, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"Mother, the wedding is the day after tomorrow. Will we be too late?"

"You get married, but are you going to invite her to the ceremony? If you get married and something happens to her, no one will suspect you."

"But my daughter thought, maybe we should try to persuade her properly." Su Ziyu bit her lip.

"You're about to have a good time, how can you get involved in such dirty things? Leave this to me, you don't need to worry about it." Madam Su loved her daughter dearly, and also considered that since she was a newcomer, it was best for her not to get involved in these matters.

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu beamed with joy: "Mother, I knew you were the best to me."

"You're so willful. There are so many excellent men in the capital, but you insist on marrying into the Fu family. Nobody knows whether the Fu mother and son are easy to get along with. Fortunately, you have a noble status and a large dowry, so you don't have to be subservient to them. If they make you unhappy, just talk back."

“I know you are my support. I am marrying down to their family. Besides, Fu Jingsheng is counting on my father's promotion, so he wouldn't dare to treat me badly. It's just that his cousin used to live in their house. If she hadn't been trying to scheme against Jingsheng, she would have tried to scheme against me instead. My wedding with Jingsheng would not have been brought forward.”

“A woman like that deserves to die. Don’t worry, your mother will take care of it.” Madam Su comforted her daughter, “You don’t need to think about anything these next two days, just be a good bride.”

Su Ziyu leaned gently against Madam Su: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you and Father often in the future."

"I'm glad you have this kind heart. It's getting late, you should get some rest. You'll be busy early the day after tomorrow."

……

Before they knew it, it was time for Fu Jingsheng and Su Ziyu to get married.

The Fu residence was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the character for "double happiness" was everywhere, creating a joyous atmosphere.

Fu Jingying was woken up early by Madam Qian, who told her to keep a close eye on the maids working in the mansion and not let them slack off.

Many dignitaries will be attending today, so please don't break the rules.

Fu Jingying, dragging her weary body, supervised the maids and servants throughout the mansion, telling them to be alert and that if anything went wrong, she would sell them off.

Meanwhile, the family's wedding procession has already set off.

They didn't invite any of their relatives from their hometown. They told others that the journey was too far and that they would hold a party there when the time was right.

Madam Qian did want to invite her relatives from her hometown over. Putting everything else aside, her son marrying the daughter of the Grand Secretary would make them green with envy.

Fu Jingsheng did not agree. He said that his relatives back home were unaware of the situation, and if they were to expose Su Mingyue's affair, things would get complicated.

Mr. Qian thought about it and agreed.

Some relatives just can't stand to see them doing well behind their backs. They might say something funny to their faces, but who knows what they're saying about them behind their backs.

If he turns around and tells everyone that Jing Sheng was married, what will become of him?

After much thought, I realized I can only find an opportunity to go back.

Fu Jingsheng, wearing a red flower on his chest and riding a tall horse, appeared outside the Su residence amidst the sound of gongs and drums.

The old woman said different auspicious words.

Fu Jingsheng dismounted and looked at the imposing words "Su Mansion" with immense excitement.

After today, Ziyu will be his wife.
