Chapter 1421 A man disguised as a woman 10
Although Bai Shi has not been in the Duke's mansion for many years, she has not given up on bribing the people in the Duke's mansion.

Although the head maids around the masters are difficult to bribe, some minor figures in unimportant positions can be won over.

You can bribe someone if you pay enough money.

They won't betray you simply because the price offered isn't high enough.

Those insignificant people are easily betrayed, as long as they are given enough money.

Bai ordered these people to take action against Liu Shicheng.

Liu Shicheng fell off his horse, just like Bai's husband before him, and could not be saved.

Bai suspects that Liu Shicheng was responsible for her husband's death, and therefore, she wants to take revenge on him using the same methods.

Unfortunately, Yoo Se-sung was luckier and more skilled than Bai's husband.

Liu Shicheng did not die; he only injured his leg and will recover in a few months.

Mr. Bai was furious.

She originally planned to kill Liu Shicheng, so that Liu Heng would have to observe mourning for her second uncle, Liu Shicheng, which would delay the wedding by several months.

But unfortunately...

The wedding was held as scheduled.

As Liu Heng's "best friends," Cheng Yishuang and Cheng Yilu naturally had to attend Liu Heng's wedding.

Cheng Yishuang said to Liu Heng, "Fourth Sister caught a cold yesterday and is afraid of infecting us, so she won't be attending the wedding."

Cheng Yilu scoffed, "Who knows if it's just an act?"

The other three: "..."

Even though, you shouldn't say it out loud.

Liu Heng pretended not to hear her words and started talking to Cheng Yishuang about her marriage.

Cheng Yishuang's marriage has been arranged; she will marry Xu Ruofeng.

It was the Xu family who took the initiative to propose marriage.

Xu Ruofeng is getting on in years, and the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion has begun to select a daughter-in-law.

Xu Ruofeng was not satisfied with the candidates suggested by his family, and finally made his own choice: Cheng Yishuang.

Although he had no romantic feelings for Cheng Yishuang, they had grown up together and could talk to each other.

Moreover, Cheng Yishuang is a simple person, and Xu Ruofeng has many secrets of his own, so he doesn't want a wife who is too shrewd and has too many ulterior motives.

The Xu family was quite satisfied with Cheng Yishuang, and soon the two families reached an agreement and began the six rites.

Cheng Yilu was furious. One of the two men she had her eye on was going to marry Liu Heng, and the other was going to marry Cheng Yishuang.

She didn't get a single one, which infuriated her.

Those two women are nowhere near as pretty as her.
Just because they are legitimate daughters?
Cheng Yilu was extremely dissatisfied with her status and even harbored resentment towards Zhao Shi.

Why couldn't Zhao have put in a little more effort back then and become Cheng Huaiyu's legal wife?
Even if she's not the first wife, it's fine to make her the legal wife or a second wife.

As a result, she could only become a concubine...

Damn it, she would never be a concubine.

She has to marry someone better than Cheng Yishuang and Liu Heng!

Cheng Yilu has already identified her target: Zhang Beichen from the Duke of Jing's mansion.

So what if he's a playboy?

The纨绔 (wanku) is also the heir to the Duke's mansion.

Liu Tong escorted Liu Heng to the bridal sedan chair. When the other noble ladies saw Liu Tong, they asked Madam Bai about Liu Tong's marriage. Madam Bai said, "The master of Xiangguo Temple said that this child cannot marry too early. She must be at least twenty years old before she can talk about marriage, otherwise it will be detrimental to both her family and her husband's family."

Bai Shi anticipated that others would pay attention to Liu Tong's marriage after Liu Heng got married, so she first bribed the monks of Xiangguo Temple to spread the word that Liu Tong should not get married too early.

She didn't want her other son to get married when one of her sons was forced into marriage.

After the wedding ceremony, Liu Heng was led to the bridal chamber, where Liu Dong and Cheng Yishuang accompanied her as always.

Cheng Yilu has disappeared, but Liu Tong's maid saw Cheng Yilu with Zhang Beichen.

Liu Dong looked at the table, which only had a pot of wine and two wine cups on it, without even any pastries.

Liu Tong frowned and told Liu Heng's maid, Chunxi, to go to the kitchen and bring back some food.

Cheng Yishuang was also very dissatisfied: "They didn't even prepare any food. Does the Qi family want to starve Aheng? Could it be that Qi Mingcheng is unhappy that Aheng married him and is using this method to torment her?"

Liu Tong: "It shouldn't be him. We all know Qi Mingcheng's character; he's not the kind of person who would do something like this to shift the blame."

They were not the other two masters of the Qi family either.

The Duke of Qi and his wife were fairly satisfied with the marriage.

Liu Tong felt that this matter was done by certain people acting on their own initiative.

Liu Tong asked Cheng Yishuang to stay in the bridal chamber to keep Liu Heng company, while she went to find Madam Bai.

Bai then went to see Madam Qi.

When Liu Dong left, she heard that Qi Mingcheng's two head maids had been locked in the woodshed by Madam Qi.

Liu Dong chuckled lightly. Could Qi Mingcheng, with his temperament, shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Duke's mansion?
Just watch, tomorrow Qi Mingcheng will definitely plead with Madam Qi for the release of those two maids.

As for whether the two will continue to target Liu Heng after they come out?

Liu Dong was not worried at all.

So what if they target us?
Liu Heng had her own way of resolving the issue.

One force can bring down ten.

Liu Heng's status and abilities far surpass those of the two maids, so the two maids would not be able to cause her any harm.

Since the two maids like Qi Mingcheng so much, let's keep them to warm his bed.

On their wedding night, Qi Mingcheng slept in the study.

He had a frank talk with Liu Heng: "As you know, I love Yi Xue. I can't think about any other woman. Please give me some time. I will adjust my feelings and try to live with you."

Liu Heng smiled and said considerately, "No rush. I grew up with you and Yi Xue, and I've seen your relationship. I never intended to ruin your relationship or interfere in your marriage; it's just that the Emperor has decreed this marriage, and I have no choice but to accept. I can be your husband in name only. After a few years, you can divorce me because I haven't done anything wrong. Then you can marry a second wife. I believe the Duke and his wife won't have such high expectations for the second wife's status anymore. Then you can be with Yi Xue."

Qi Mingcheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but being a kind person, he still considered Liu Heng's feelings: "But this is not fair to you. If we divorce, you will not be able to marry into a good family again."

Liu Heng: "I had no intention of getting married."

Qi Mingcheng asked in surprise, "Why?"

Liu Heng smiled: "You'll find out later."

Qi Mingcheng: "??"

The two reached an agreement, and Qi Mingcheng went to sleep in the study.

Upon hearing the servant's report, Madam Qi smashed the vase.

Lady Qi complained to Duke Qi, "That Cheng Yixue is simply a vixen. She seduced Cheng'er so much that he doesn't even give his new wife any face. And her daughter-in-law is useless too; she can't even keep her own man."

Duke Qi said, "Didn't you imprison two maids? They are Cheng'er's concubines. Why don't you release them?"

Madam Qi said resentfully, "If only they were concubines. I had the old nanny examine them, and both of them are still virgins. Our good son has remained chaste for Cheng Yixue."

"Uh..." Duke Qi didn't know what to say.
