Chapter 1415 A man disguised as a woman 4
Liu Heng: "Cheng Yilu is just like her mother, with ambitions that are too high, but she doesn't realize her own place."

Mr. Bai: "What do you mean?"

Liu Heng: "Cheng Yilu treats Qi Mingcheng and Xu Ruofeng as her possessions and wants to choose one of them."

Bai Shi: "Huh? She's just a concubine's daughter of a Hanlin scholar, and she wants to become the mistress of the Duke's and Marquis's mansions? She has no self-awareness at all."

Liu Qiu laughed: "She can only dream about it. I don't think Qi Mingcheng and Xu Ruofeng like her very much."

Madam Bai: "Both of them are legitimate sons, so they definitely wouldn't like someone born out of wedlock."

Liu Tong: "Not necessarily. Qi Mingcheng probably likes Cheng Yixue. He often secretly looks at her, and he also has a good relationship with Cheng Yiyun. Xu Ruofeng, on the other hand, is very indifferent to the men and women born out of wedlock in the Cheng family."

Bai said, "Because Xu Ruofeng's biological mother was killed by her half-sister."

Another big piece of gossip!

Liu Dong handed a cup of tea to Madam Bai: "Mother, tell me in detail."

Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes at her son, but still took the teacup and drank a sip.

Bai Shi: "The current wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is his third wife. His second wife was the half-sister of his first wife. This second wife was in love with her brother-in-law and poisoned the first wife, causing her death. The second wife persuaded her own father to marry the Marquis of Zhenyuan under the pretext of taking care of her two nephews."

"Her biological father, not wanting to lose Zhenyuan Marquis, a good son-in-law favored by the emperor, agreed to his illegitimate daughter's request and went to see Zhenyuan Marquis himself."

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan valued his bloodline more than his wife, and felt that his concubine was better able to take care of his two sons, so he married his concubine's daughter as his second wife."

"Xu Ruoqian, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, knew that his mother and his half-sister were not close, and he had suspicions about his mother's death. Xu Ruoqian used the people left behind by his mother to investigate."

"The second wife was not discreet in her actions, and Xu Ruoqian caught her red-handed."

"Xu Ruoqian presented the evidence to Marquis Zhenyuan."

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan had feelings for his first wife, but he detested his second wife's ruthlessness. So, his second wife 'died of illness'."

"After learning the truth, Xu Ruofeng developed a strong aversion to people born out of wedlock. The fact that he could tolerate studying with Cheng Yilu and others in the Cheng family was already a great favor to the Cheng family. It was completely impossible for Cheng Yilu to marry Xu Ruofeng."

Liu Tong: "Does the Cheng family know about the Xu family's affairs?"

Bai shook her head: "This is still a secret of the Xu family; no one else knows about it."

Liu Tong asked curiously, "Then how did you know, Mother?"

Bai: "Because Xu Ruofeng's biological mother is also my good friend. Back then, Xu Ruoqian didn't have many people at his disposal, so he borrowed some from me to investigate his second wife."

Liu Tong and Liu Heng extended their right hands and gave Bai a thumbs-up in unison.

Having learned too many gossip secrets in one day, Liu Tong and Liu Heng both ate an extra bowl of food at dinner.

The next morning, the two took a carriage to the Cheng family's residence.

At the main gate, the two encountered Qi Mingcheng and Xu Ruofeng.

Qi Mingcheng and Xu Ruofeng nodded to the two men, but did not approach them to talk.

In their eyes, since both Liu and Dong are girls, they should keep some distance from each other.

The four of them arrived at the primary school, where the entire Cheng family was already present.

Seeing them enter together, a flash of displeasure crossed Cheng Yilu's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Her mother said that Liu and Tong were of higher status than her, and she should befriend them so that they could introduce her to more people of extraordinary status in the future.

On this day, Cheng Yilu was incredibly enthusiastic towards Liu Dong and Liu Heng.

Liu Tong and Liu Heng responded with smiles, treating all three Cheng sisters the same.

In their hearts, however, the two of them were more inclined to favor Cheng Yishuang.

Time passed gradually as these children studied, and now eight years have gone by. Liu Dong and Liu Heng are now sixteen years old.

Originally, Ms. Bai wanted the two to reveal their male identities when they turned fifteen.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shicheng was extremely lucky. One day, a chance encounter saved the emperor, who was dressed as a white dragon, and he instantly became the emperor's favorite minister.

If their identities were exposed at this point, not only would they be unable to reclaim their titles from Liu Shicheng, but Liu Shicheng would also discover their deception over the years.

With Liu Shicheng's current power, he could absolutely kill the mother and son with one hand.

For now, we can only endure it.

Anyway, the emperor was old and his health wasn't very good.

Let's endure for a few more years until the new emperor takes the throne, then we can restore our status.

Before that, we must keep a close eye on Liu Shicheng and absolutely prevent the prince he invested in from ascending the throne.

I wonder if the old emperor will still consider Liu Shicheng a confidant now that he knows Liu Shicheng has chosen his son.

Appearances are easy to disguise.

Over the years, the two have cultivated their internal strength, resulting in slender and graceful figures. Although they are taller, they are not the only tall women in the world.

Moreover, the two are only teenagers, and their height has not yet fully developed, so they are not particularly tall.

As for their appearance, their chubby faces combined with amazing makeup made them look even more beautiful than girls.

The Liu brothers: "..."

The only flaw is the sound.

Both of them entered puberty when they were twelve or thirteen years old.

The male's voice was so awful that you could tell they were boys just by listening to it.

Mrs. Bai was very distressed and came up with the idea of ​​having her two children pretend to be mute.

Liu Tong shook her head: "No need. If both of us become mute, it will be too obvious. Let my brother pretend. I can control my voice and change my tone."

After speaking, he channeled his inner energy into his throat, producing a clear, girlish voice.

Mrs. Bai's eyes widened. Her own child had this skill?!

Liu Heng spoke, her voice as gentle as a girl's: "I can also change my voice."

Bai: "..."

Bai: "Where did you two learn your skills?"

Liu Tong and Liu Heng exchanged a glance and said in unison, "I learned it from someone who knows ventriloquism."

After saying that, the two looked at each other again.

Mr. Bai assumed they had encountered the same person and remarked, "You're quite lucky. Where's that ventriloquist? I need to thank him properly."

Liu Dong: "That person has already left. He travels around performing and doesn't stay in one place."

Liu Heng: "Yes. We have already given that person fifty taels of silver as tuition, so there is no need to thank him anymore."

Bai: "I see!"

The sound problem was solved, and the two could still pretend to be girls, but they could no longer go to the Cheng family's elementary school.

After all, there are three real girls there. What if they see through our deception?
Moreover, since the two Liu brothers have no intention of taking their relationships with the three Cheng girls any further, it would be better to keep a distance.

Didn't you see that Qi Mingcheng, Xu Ruofeng, and Zhao Wentian stopped going to primary school after they turned fifteen?
