Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Qi Mingcheng went to see Cheng Yixue again and told her about his agreement with Liu Heng.

Qi Mingcheng hopes that Cheng Yixue will wait for him, and that he can marry Cheng Yixue once he divorces Liu Heng.

Cheng Yixue immediately started cursing at Qi Mingcheng.

"How could you be so selfish? Have you thought about what will happen to Aheng after the divorce? A woman who divorces her husband because she can't have children will be gossiped about. What will happen to Aheng's reputation? How will she live?"

Qi Mingcheng stammered, "Aheng said she doesn't mind, and that she doesn't seem like she's getting married at all."

Cheng Yixue: "What woman doesn't want to get married? Doesn't she want to have children? Ah Heng only said that out of concern for us. You can't just ignore her future because she's willing to make sacrifices. Qi Mingcheng, I never thought you were such a selfish person. I'm so disappointed in you. Go away, and don't come looking for me again."

Qi Mingcheng: "..."

Qi Mingcheng returned to the Qi family dejectedly and went to Liu Heng's courtyard.

Fortunately, Liu Heng had already returned from outside.

Qi Mingcheng: "Yixue said I was selfish and that she never wanted to see me again..."

Liu Heng: "..."

Liu Heng didn't know how to persuade her.

He never intended to become an obstacle for this young couple!

Moreover, Liu Heng is really not good at matters of the heart.

He has no one he likes and doesn't understand what love is. I really don't know how to persuade Qi Mingcheng.

Qi Mingcheng sought out Liu Heng simply to find a safe haven.

After venting all his troubles, he collapsed.

Uh, I was just drunk.

Liu Heng tossed the man into the guest room and sent a maid to take care of Qi Mingcheng.

Liu Heng's maid was much more polite than Qi's maid; she would never do something like climbing into bed while her master was drunk.

This caused Qi Mingcheng's two head maids to bite their handkerchiefs until they tore.

Why not give them such a great opportunity?

If they can give birth to children, they won't have to worry about their future.

Qi Mingcheng cherished old friendships, and Liu Heng was too lazy to pay attention to the two carefree girls. After they were released, they continued to work for Qi Mingcheng.

Therefore, the two believed that they were very important to Qi Mingcheng and looked down on Liu Heng, the young mistress.

The two women were determined to climb into Qi Mingcheng's bed, but since their marriage, Qi Mingcheng had spent most of his time in the outer study, not giving them the opportunity to climb into his bed.

Now that the opportunity has come, they are not by Qi Mingcheng's side.

Both of them believed that Liu Heng was on guard against them, and they hated Liu Heng.

Both of them were servants of the Duke's mansion and had many connections within the household.

The two decided to take action.

They had someone tamper with Liu Heng's food.

Liu Heng possesses the Longevity and Immortality Technique, so ordinary toxins have no effect on him and instead become nourishment for his practice.

Liu Heng also noticed something was wrong. After the food was delivered, Liu Heng had it sent to Madam Qi.

Lady Qi's speech impediment was relieved three days later.

If she tries to continue tormenting Liu Heng, she will be silenced again by having her acupoints pressed.

Madam Qi was frightened, thinking that it was the gods protecting Liu Heng and preventing him from tormenting her.

After that, Lady Qi simply exempted Liu Heng from the morning and evening greetings.

She didn't want to see Liu Heng again.

Madam Qi was furious when she saw the food.

She never imagined there was such a bold person in the manor who would drug her master.

Now they're only drugging Liu Heng, but what if one day they drug her, the Duke, and Qi Mingcheng?

Madam Qi immediately ordered an investigation. The two head maids were then brought before Madam Qi.

Madam Qi could no longer keep the two maids, so she gave each of them twenty lashes and then sold them to human traffickers.

After learning of their actions, Qi Mingcheng did not plead for them anymore, but personally came to apologize to Liu Heng.

Liu Heng: "You didn't do it, so you don't need to apologize."

Qi Mingcheng sighed, "I'm the one who fostered their ambition, and I bear a large part of the responsibility. Ah Heng, please tell me what you need. I will make it up to you."

Liu Heng: "I'll write it down for now. I don't have any requests right now. We can talk about it later."

Qi Mingcheng: "Okay."

The fate of the two head maids shocked the other maids in the mansion, but it did not completely dispel their desire to climb into the other maids' beds.

Not only the maids in the mansion, but also many young ladies from wealthy families outside the mansion admire Qi Mingcheng.

Young, wealthy, with status and talent, such a man is the dream lover and eligible bachelor of many unmarried girls.

Many young ladies in the capital were jealous of Liu Heng's marriage to Qi Mingcheng.

Liu Heng attended one or two banquets, during which many young ladies came to cause her trouble.

Later, Liu Heng simply stopped attending these banquets altogether.

Six months passed, during which Cheng Yishuang and Xu Ruofeng held their wedding.

Qi Mingcheng met Cheng Yixue at the wedding, but Cheng Yixue only greeted him coldly, while she was very close to Zhao Wentian.

A month after the wedding, news spread from the Cheng family that Cheng Yixue and Zhao Wentian were engaged.

Qi Mingcheng was shocked and rushed to find Cheng Yixue without thinking.

Cheng Yixue stated definitively that she married Zhao Wentian voluntarily.

Ever since he saved Zhao Wentian outside the city, the two have become close.

Although Zhao Wentian was Cheng Yixue's cousin, they were not familiar with each other.

Now that they've gotten to know each other better, Cheng Yixue has discovered that Zhao Wentian's talent is no less than Qi Mingcheng's, and he is even more resilient, decisive, and more stable and reliable than Qi Mingcheng.

Zhao Wentian likes Cheng Yixue, and Cheng Yixue also develops feelings for him.

Zhao Wentian first proposed marriage to Cheng Yixue, and after careful consideration, Cheng Yixue agreed. Only then did Zhao Wentian send a matchmaker to propose marriage.

His adoptive father had been transferred to a post outside the capital and had taken his wife and other children to another place—in fact, it was Zhao Wentian who sent them out of the capital to avoid trouble.

Zhao Wentian's marriage was naturally his own decision, and Cheng Yixue would be able to take charge of the household immediately after marrying into the family.

Cheng Yixue analyzed the pros and cons of marrying Zhao Wentian and nodded in agreement to the marriage.

Qi Mingcheng returned home dejectedly, picked up a wine jar and drank it down his throat until he passed out.

Qi Mingcheng fell ill after drinking too much alcohol and being exposed to a cold wind.

In ancient times, catching a cold was a serious illness.

Qi Mingcheng developed a high fever.

The imperial physician invited by Madam Qi prescribed medicine for Qi Mingcheng, but it failed to bring down his fever.

Madam Qi was extremely anxious and frightened; she was terrified that her son would be gone.

She hated Cheng Yixue to death.

Madam Qi gritted her teeth: "If anything happens to my son, I will risk my life to make Cheng Yixue pay for my son's death."

Liu Heng said, "Mother, please don't say such unlucky things. My husband will definitely get better."

Madam Qi realized what was happening and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Cheng'er will definitely get better, he will definitely get better."

Liu Heng then said, "Mother, you've worked so hard taking care of my husband. Please go back to the courtyard and rest for a while."

Madam Qi shook her head: "How can I rest if Cheng'er's fever doesn't break?"

Liu Heng: "But how can Mother's body withstand that?" (End of Chapter)
