Qi Yiyang was the nephew of the imperial concubine and Liang Hengyu’s cousin.
Everyone was in the same boat, so Liang Hengyu did not hide it.
He told him about his second brother’s plan to win over Xiao Hanzheng and asked Xiao Yuanshi to do something.
After that, he sighed, “I thought Xiao Yuanshi’s wife could come up with some good ideas, but I didn’t expect it to be so mediocre.”
“Her sister who entered the second brother’s mansion as a concubine swore that her sister could help the second brother.”
He laughed: “I don’t know what to say.”
Qi Yiyang didn’t expect that the so-called hero saving the beauty just now was related to the second prince.
He raised an eyebrow: “With Zheng Tongfeng’s chicken-like appearance, can he be liked by Xiao Hanzheng’s sister?”
He and Zheng Tongfeng were both in the Imperial Academy, but they were not on the same level.
He was the legitimate son of the Duke of Yingguo, while Zheng Tongfeng was just the son of a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of War.
So when the other party saw him, they all flattered him.
He asked, how could Zheng Tongfeng, who rarely spent his days in the Imperial Academy, come here to participate in the provincial examination.
In his opinion, the other party’s career as a scholar was almost over.
Liang Hengyu sighed: “So this idea is bad, I don’t know what Xiao Yuanshi’s wife thinks.”
It’s better not to come up with such an idea.
Qi Yiyang thought about it and smiled: “Since you want to use this method, why do you have to find a fool like Zheng Tongfeng.”
He recommended himself: “Cousin, what do you think of me?”
The girl just now was quite interesting, and he had never met such a girl before.
He also became interested because of this.
He already had an engagement, and he would get married after taking the Enke exam this time.
Although Xiao Baili’s status was a bit low, it was okay to marry her as a concubine.
It satisfies his interest and can help the second prince win over Xiao Hanzheng, killing two birds with one stone.
Liang Hengyu looked at him speechlessly: “You mean, you will do it?”
Qi Yiyang opened his folding fan: “Yes, I’ll help my second cousin win over Xiao Hanzheng.”
Liang Hengyu: “……”
Don’t think he can’t see the interest his cousin showed in Xiao Baili just now.
He asked: “Don’t you have an engagement and are about to marry a wife? How can you go and it?”
Qi Yiyang said as a matter of course: “Having a wife doesn’t prevent me from taking a concubine!”
Liang Hengyu was a little speechless: “Come on, Xiao Hanzheng is unlikely to let his sister be a concubine.”
Although he had no contact with Xiao Hanzheng, because his second brother wanted to win over this person, he had read a lot of information about Xiao Hanzheng.
Qi Yiyang raised an eyebrow: “He is just a scholar. Even if he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he will only be a seventh-rank official. What’s the problem with his sister being a concubine of the legitimate son of our Duke’s Mansion?”
Although Liang Hengyu also felt that it was okay for his cousin to take Xiao Hanzheng’s sister as a concubine, he just had a feeling that there was little hope.
“Xiao Hanzheng is a student of Master Hou, and his wife is good friends with Xi Rui and others.”
He shook his head: “Although he is just a scholar from a farming family, he has a large network of relationships behind him. I still think it is unlikely that his sister will be your concubine.”
Qi Yiyang said confidently: “What if Xiao Baili falls in love with me and wants to marry me?”
“Didn’t you say that Xiao Hanzheng loves his sister very much? As long as his sister wants to marry me, he wouldn’t object.”
Liang Hengyu thought for a while and said: “I saw Xiao Baili’s reaction just now, which was quite smart.”
It means that he may not be able to follow your way.
Qi Yiyang: “……”
Who is he looking down on?
He was still confident: “How can you know if it works if you don’t try?”
He was still very experienced in coaxing women.
Liang Hengyu saw him like this: “Okay, then you go and try it.”
“If you do it, it will be a help to my second brother.”
Qi Yiyang fanned his fan: “That’s it.”
Just as the two were about to leave, Qi Yiyang accidentally saw an earring on the ground not far away.
He walked over to pick it up, smiled, and shook it at Liang Hengyu: “Look, fate has come, and it can’t be stopped.”
“This is not just a reason to get close to her, God has taken the initiative to send it to my door.”
It was just one earring, which should have fallen accidentally when Xiao Baili was dancing with the whip just now.
Liang Hengyu was speechless: “As long as you are happy.”
But he was also a little curious and expectant. Could her cousin make Xiao Baili marry him?

On the other side, after Xiao Baili returned, she did not go back to her room to rest but went to Shi Qingluo’s room.
Shi Qingluo had just woken up from a nap.
She opened the door and asked with a smile: “You finished the painting so quickly?”
Xiao Baili shook her head: “No, I encountered something disappointing, so I came back.”
Seeing the excitement in her aunt’s eyes, Shi Qingluo pulled her in and asked with a smile: “What disappointing thing?”
Xiao Baili sat down and told her what happened in the back mountain just now.
Shi Qingluo had just taken a sip of water and almost spit it out.
“Whoever came up with this idea, it’s too bad.”
“Baili did a great job. People like this should be beaten.”
“If the person who wants to save you appears and complains to you again, just beat him up.”
“Your brother and I will take care of it. Don’t worry about the consequences.”
That man wants to save the beauty and thinks about her sister-in-law. He deserves to be beaten.
“Okay!” Xiao Baili Li felt warm in her heart. Her sister-in-law was so nice.
Shi Qingluo reached out to help Xiao Baili straighten her crooked hairpin.
Then he looked at her ear and asked: “Why do you only have one earring?”
Xiao Baili was stunned for a moment and reached out to touch her ear: “I was wearing a pair when I went out this morning.”
“Maybe I accidentally dropped one when I was hitting someone just now.”
She stood up: “Sister-in-law, I’ll go back and look for it.”
Earrings were close-fitting items, it’s not good to leave them outside.
Shi Qingluo also thought of this.
And she was afraid that it would be taken away by the person who planned to be a hero to save the beauty.
She also stood up: “I’ll go with you to look for it.”
So the two of them went back to the back mountain, hand in hand.
Then they happened to meet Liang Hengyu and the others who were walking back from the back mountain.
Shi Qingluo saw Liang Hengyu at a glance. Although she had never met this person, she had a good memory.
Because she met the second prince once last time, she recognized that this was the fifth prince.
Seeing the fifth prince appear here, she couldn’t help but have conspiracy theories.
She asked Xiao Baili: “The ones who wanted to be a hero to save the beauty just now, are they?”
The people on both sides were not far away, so Liang Hengyu and the others also heard this.
Two people: “……”
They are not so clumsy, okay?
Xiao Baili shook her head: “Not them.”
Then she changed the subject: “But they have been hiding and watching the show.”
So her impression of the two was not very good.
Shi Qingluo glanced at the two people, raised an eyebrow, and asked bluntly: “Those people, weren’t they arranged?”
She said it deliberately for the two people to hear.
The little sister-in-law was just rescued by a hero here, and these two people were hiding and watching the show over there. Is it such a coincidence?
And the fifth prince was staying well in the capital, why did he come here?
The people around him were from aristocratic families, judging by their attire, they were not simple.
So she had to deliberately trick both of them.
