Chapter 1414 A man disguised as a woman 3
It's like my own mother knows a lot of inside information.

Liu Tong blinked her big eyes, looking at her mother with a cute expression.

Mr. Bai clutched his chest, feeling like his health bar was completely depleted.

What does the son want to know?
She would tell her son.

Anyway, these aren't secrets.

Liu Heng twitched her lips.

Why does my younger brother love gossip so much?
However, he was also quite curious.

Bai said, "Cheng Huaiyu's first wife was my best friend."

Cheng Huaiyu's first wife, Yang, and Bai were close friends in their youth, and even after they got married, they still visited each other frequently.

I always tell my friends about my worries.

Therefore, the two were quite familiar with each other's family situations.

Neither of them had a very happy married life.

Lady Bai married the Duke of Cen at that time.

Duke Cen inherited his title at a young age and was extremely proud of himself, acting recklessly, especially when it came to women.

He was fairly respectful to Mrs. Bai, but he had quite a few women in his harem.

In matters of women, Duke Cen was just as capable as Jia She.

Because of his lack of self-control, Duke Cen damaged his kidney essence, resulting in none of his women being able to bear him children.

Later, Duke Cen panicked because he had no heir, and that's when he began to cultivate his character and temperament.

It worked quite well; Lady Bai became pregnant. However, Duke Cen was too excited and got drunk, so he ran out of the city for some fresh air and encountered a mudslide, losing his life.

The Bai family once suspected that Liu Shicheng was involved and requested that the Bai family send someone to investigate.

It turned out that no one else was behind it; it was just that Duke Cen himself was too complacent and brought about his own downfall.

Bai: "..."

Bai stopped thinking about her distressing deceased husband and started telling her two sons gossip about the Cheng family.

Cheng Huaiyu had an affair with Zhao before marrying Yang.

Zhao was actually Cheng Huaiyu's cousin, a girl from his maternal family.

Cheng Huaiyu was actually born out of wedlock.

Cheng's father was in the same situation as Lin Ruhai. Besides his first wife, who gave birth to a daughter, he only had a son born to a concubine he bought.

For his son's future, Cheng's father registered Cheng Huaiyu under his wife's name.

Cheng Huaiyu's biological mother was a village girl, and her family used the money she earned from selling herself to buy some land.

Because she gave birth to a son, her mother received relatively good treatment in the Cheng family.

This man was devoted to his maternal family. He not only sent all his monthly allowance back to his maternal family, but also brought his niece to his home to keep him company.

Madam Cheng gave him face and agreed.

This led to Cheng Huaiyu and his cousin Zhao growing up together, and they gradually developed feelings for each other.

Having grown accustomed to the Cheng family's wealth, Zhao would never marry another man of equal social standing.

She wanted to become the mistress of the Cheng family.

However, the Zhao family and the Cheng family were not a good match.

In the end, she could only become Cheng Huaiyu's concubine.

What's better than her aunt is that she's a concubine.

Yang disliked Zhao very much and started fighting with her as soon as she entered the house.

However, with Cheng Huaiyu protecting Zhao, Yang suffered a great loss.

Fortunately, Madam Yang became pregnant earlier than Madam Zhao, hoping to give birth to the next heir of the Cheng family in one fell swoop. But unfortunately, Madam Yang gave birth to a girl.

Moreover, Yang was tricked by Zhao during childbirth, causing severe bleeding that quickly broke her health.

Yang was no pushover either; she had someone administer a sterilization drug to Zhao.

After learning about this, Zhao sought out a doctor to help her remove the effects of the drug. She took the medicine for nearly ten years before the effects of the sterilization drug in her body finally wore off, allowing her to conceive.

By this time, Yang's health had completely deteriorated.

After leaving all her dowry to her daughter, she asked her good friend, Ms. Bai, to help take care of her daughter before passing away.

After her death, Cheng Huaiyu married Ding as his second wife.

Ding had no feelings for Cheng Huaiyu, regardless of whether he had true love or how many concubines he had.

Before the marriage alliance between the Ding and Cheng families, the Ding family made only one request: the Cheng family must have a grandson from the Ding family as their heir, and the Ding family would not register any illegitimate sons under their own names.

Cheng Huaiyu had a falling out with his former in-laws and needed the help of his current in-laws, so he agreed to the Ding family's request.

Moreover, he was a traditional scholar who valued the eldest son.

Cheng Huaiyu warned Zhao, and Zhao dared not do anything to Ding.

Not long after Ding married into the Cheng family, she became pregnant and gave birth to her eldest son, Cheng Yifeng, and later gave birth to her daughter, Cheng Yishuang.

She focused solely on taking care of her two children and paid no attention to Cheng Huaiyu's other women and children.

Zhao then successfully gave birth to her son Cheng Yiyun and daughter Cheng Yilu.

She disliked the other women in the backyard and did not allow any other concubines to give birth to Cheng Huaiyu's children.

She had no choice but to allow Ding's children to be born, but she would absolutely not allow any other woman to give birth to Cheng Huaiyu's children.

This is why, before Cheng Yifeng, the Cheng family only had one child, Cheng Yixia.

Zhao Shi controlled Cheng Huaiyu's backyard; if she couldn't have children, no other woman could have children either.

As a result, she became mentally exhausted due to her pregnancy with Cheng Yilu, which led to another woman in the backyard becoming pregnant and giving birth to Cheng Yixue.

After that, Zhao targeted that woman in every way.

That woman was very beautiful and was favored by Cheng Huaiyu. She was gradually replacing Zhao Shi as Cheng Huaiyu's favorite woman.

And the woman became pregnant again, this time with a boy.

That woman seriously threatened Zhao's position.

So, the Zhao family took action.

That woman died along with her unborn child.

Cheng Huaiyu is very wise in public affairs, but muddle-headed in family matters, and he is also very cold-hearted.

He was only attracted to the woman's beauty. Once she died, he forgot about her completely and never even considered investigating how she died.

Ms. Ding knew the cause of the woman's death, but why did she stand up for her?

However, the old lady of the Cheng family disapproved of Zhao's behavior, but she was not Cheng Huaiyu's biological mother, and she could not let a woman cause a rift with Cheng Huaiyu.

Madam Cheng then took Cheng Yixue into her care to raise her, ensuring that the child would not be harmed by Zhao.

After all, she was the old lady of the Cheng family, so Zhao didn't dare to reach out to her.

Just as she dared not reach out to Ding.

Both of them have powerful families backing them up; if you really anger them...

They killed Zhao Shi, and Cheng Huaiyu could only accept it, though he was angry.

Why do you think the Zhao family targeted the Yang family in the first place?
Wasn't it because we were too young and ignorant back then, and ignorance breeds fearlessness?

Later, she was given sterilization drugs, but Cheng Huaiyu did not stand up for her. She then realized the gap between herself and those noble ladies.

Bai said, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that Cheng Huaiyu only has two women now, Ding and Zhao. He used to have several concubines in his harem, but Zhao killed them one by one. Zhao is very shrewd in dealing with Cheng Huaiyu. If Ding hadn’t had her family backing her up, she probably would have been killed by Zhao too. Cheng Huaiyu is blind, mistaking a man-eating flower for a pure white one.”

Liu Tong: "Cheng Yilu has probably learned her mother's style perfectly, but she's luckier than her mother."
