Qi Yiyang was the nephew of one of the imperial concubines and Liang Hengyu’s cousin.

They were all in the same boat, so Liang Hengyu did not hide anything.

He told him about his second brother’s plan to rope in Xiao Hanzheng and ask Xiao Yuanshi to get the task done.

After that, he sighed, “I thought Xiao Yuanshi’s wife would come up with some good ideas. I didn’t expect her to be so unworthy.

“Her younger sister who entered my second brother’s manor as a concubine was confident that her sister could help my second brother.”

He laughed, “I don’t even know what to say.”

Qi Yiyang did not expect that the so-called hero saving the damsel in distress had something to do with the second prince.

He raised his eyebrows, “With Zheng Tongfeng’s this kind of appearance, how could he make Xiao Hanzheng’s younger sister be fond of him?”

He and Zheng Tongfeng were both in the Royal Academy, but they were not of similar status.

He was the legitimate son from the british public administrative house, while Zheng Tongfeng was merely the son of a fourth-grade official from the Ministry of War.

Therefore, Zheng Tongfeng would lower his voice and pander to him when they were together.

He was wondering why Zheng Tongfeng, who usually spent his days in the Royal Academy, would come here to participate in the countryside examination.

In his opinion, he was just an elementary scholar, and that was all.

Liang Hengyu sighed. “That’s why I said that this idea is bad. I really don’t know what Xiao Yuanshi’s wife is thinking.”

Such an idea was really better left unused.

Qi Yiyang thought of something and smiled. “Since we have to use this method, why do we have to find a fool like Zheng Tongfeng?”

He introduced himself. “Cousin, what do you think of me?”

The little girl from earlier was quite interesting. He had never met such a person before.

Because of this, he became somewhat interested.

He already had a marriage contract. After taking the enke exam this time, he would attend his marriage ceremony.

Although Xiao Baili’s status was a little low, she could marry in as a noble concubine.

After satisfying his interest, she could also help the second prince rope in Xiao Hanzheng, killing two birds with one stone.

Liang Hengyu looked at him speechlessly. “You mean, you’ll go?”

Qi Yiyang opened the folding fan. “Yes, I’ll help my second cousin rope in Xiao Hanzheng.”

Liang Hengyu remained silent.

Don’t think that he couldn’t tell that his cousin was interested in Xiao Baili just now.

He asked, “Aren’t you getting married soon? How are you going to do it yourself?”

Qi Yiyang said matter-of-factly, “Having a wife won’t stop me from taking in concubines!”

Liang Hengyu was a little speechless. “Come on. It’s unlikely that Xiao Hanzheng will let his sister be a concubine.”

Although he had never interacted with Xiao Hanzheng before, he had read a lot of information about Xiao Hanzheng because his second brother wanted to rope him in.

Qi Yiyang raised his eyebrows. “He’s only an elementary scholar. Even if he enters the civil service examination and becomes an official, he’ll only at most be seventh grade or start off as seventh grade.

“What’s wrong with his sister being the concubine of a young master in the public administrative house?”

Although Liang Hengyu also felt that it was fine for his cousin to take Xiao Hanzheng’s sister as his concubine, he had a feeling that the chances were not high.

“Xiao Hanzheng is Mr Hou’s student. His wife is on good terms with Xi Rui and the others.”

He shook his head. “Although he is only an elementary scholar from a village, he has a lot of connections behind him. I still feel that it is unlikely for his sister to be your concubine.”

Qi Yiyang said confidently, “What if Xiao Baili falls for me and doesn’t want to marry me?

“Didn’t you say that Xiao Hanzheng loves his sister very much? As long as his sister only wants to marry me and no one else, he shouldn’t object.”

Liang Hengyu thought for a moment and said, “I saw Xiao Baili’s reaction just now. She’s quite smart.”

It meant that she might not fall for his words.

Qi Yiyang thought to himself, who was he looking down on?

He was still confident. “How would I know if I can do it if I don’t try?”

He was very experienced in coaxing women.

Liang Hengyu saw him like this. “Sure, go and try.

“If you really can do it, you’ll be a help to my second brother.”

Qi Yiyang fanned himself. “Of course.”

Just as the two of them were about to leave, Qi Yiyang accidentally saw an earring on the ground not far away.

He walked over and picked it up.

He smiled and shook it at Liang Hengyu. “Look, even fate can’t stop it.”

“This is not a reason to get close to her. Even the heavens have sent it to me on their own accord.”

It was an earring.

It must have fallen off accidentally when Xiao Bai was dancing with the whip.

Liang Hengyu was actually speechless. “As long as you’re happy.”

However, there was also some curiosity and anticipation in his heart.

Could his cousin really make Xiao Baili marry him?

On the other hand, after Xiao Baili returned, she did not return to her room to rest.

Instead, she went to Shi Qingluo’s room.

Shi Qingluo had just woken up from her afternoon nap.

She opened the door and asked with a smile, “You finished drawing so quickly?”

Xiao Baili shook her head. “No, I came back because I encountered something that ruined my mood.”

Seeing the excitement in her aunt’s eyes, Shi Qingluo pulled her into the room and asked with a smile, “What happened?”

Xiao Baili sat down and recounted what happened at the back of the mountain.

Shi Qingluo had just taken a sip of water and almost spat it out.

“Whose idea was it? It’s too bad.

“Well done, Baili. I want to slap people like them.

“In the future, if that person who wanted to save a beauty appears and continues to whine at you, you can just slap him.

“Your brother and I will take care of it. There’s no need to be afraid of the consequences.”

A shameless hero who wanted to save a beautiful girl dared to target her sister. He should be whipped.

“Okay!” Xiao Baili’s heart warmed. Her sister-in-law was really nice.

Shi Qingluo reached out to hold Xiao Baili’s slightly crooked hairpin.

Then, she looked at her ear and asked, “Why do you only have one earring?”

Xiao Baili was stunned and reached out to touch her ear. “When I went out this morning, I was wearing a pair.

“Maybe I accidentally dropped one of them when I whipped others just now.”

She stood up. “Sister-in-law, I’ll go back and look for it.”

Earrings were a personal item. It wouldn’t be good to leave them outside.

Shi Qingluo had also thought of this.

Moreover, she was afraid that the person who had set up the plan to save the beauty would take them away.

She stood up as well. “I’ll accompany you to look for it.”

Hence, the two of them held hands and returned to the mountain behind their house.

They just happened to meet Liang Hengyu and Qi Yiyang, who were walking back from that mountain.

Shi Qingluo saw Liang Hengyu with a glance.

Although she had never come into contact with him before, her memory was very good.

As she had met the second prince once before, she recognized that he was the fifth prince.

Seeing the fifth prince appearing here, she could not help but have a conspiracy theory.

She asked Xiao Baili, “Could they be the ones who wanted to save the damsel in distress just now?”

Both parties were not too far away from each other, so Liang Hengyu Qi Yiyang and also heard what she said.

The two of them sighed, they were not that clumsy, okay?

Xiao Baili shook her head. “It wasn’t them.”

Then, she changed the topic. “But they’ve been hiding and watching the show.”

Therefore, they did not have a good impression of the two of them.

Shi Qingluo swept a glance at the two of them and asked bluntly with raised eyebrows, “Could they be the mastermind behind it?”

She had said it on purpose for the two of them to hear.

Her little sister-in-law had just been rescued by a hero, and the two of them were hiding to watch the show. How could it be so coincidental?

Moreover, the fifth prince was staying well in the capital.

What was he doing here?

The people around him, judging from their attire, were also from a large aristocratic family.

They were not simple.

Therefore, she wanted to deliberately deceive the two of them.
