The rumors that Ming Shu was Master Liu's illegitimate daughter spread after the light festival. It was said that Master Liu provoked some woman outside and because he was afraid that his wife would find him for trouble, he didn't dare to bring the woman home.

After that, the woman gave birth to a daughter and Master Liu brought her to the Liu residence with the story that he picked her up.

Ming Shu knew what they were trying to do.

However, she heard that Liu Xinyue got sick after she came back from the light festival. She hadn't recovered yet and her wedding date was getting nearer.

But, the imperial decree from the palace hadn't come yet.

Liu Xinyue could only control the rumors now. After a while, everyone would know that Ming Shu was an illegitimate daughter.

Coincidently, when Liu Xinyue was born, Lady Liu went back to her parents' home to rest because she was not in good health. Liu Xinyue was brought back after she was born.

Father Liu only needed to find someone from that time to give fake evidence that his child had died and Lady Liu found another child to replace her in order to keep her status and to not disappoint Father Liu.

Liu Xinyue was similar in age to the Host so there was a lot of space to create stories.

The storyline spent much effort to make sure that Liu Xinyue could pretend to be the Host.

What Liu Xinyue needed to do now was to draw the line between her and Li Shen. However, Li Shen was not someone easy to deal with. If he married Liu Xinyue, he would not have to worry about his life and he would gain a pretty wife too. Why would he let go of such a good opportunity?

Liu Xinyue talked to Li Shen a few times, but no results were achieved. She almost got bullied by Li Shen too.

Liu Xinyue was really angry. The only thing that made her feel relieved was the fact that that matter was going smoothly.

Now, the whole village believed that Liu Qing was an illegitimate daughter and the token was with her. Once the people from the palace came, she would be able to rise to the top.

"What is Liu Qing doing recently?"

"Nothing much. She is always with Qin Ling. She will go out in the morning and come back at night," the servant girl replied to her.

Liu Xinyue frowned. Qin Ling was the female protagonist... there better not be any accidents.

"Where is Lord Cheng?"

"Lord Cheng..." The servant girl hesitated for a while. "He will go out in the morning and come back at night too. Most of the time, he will follow... Second Young Lady. Sometimes, he will go to town."

Pa!

Liu Xinyue flung the teacup off the table.

The porcelain smashed and shattered on the floor.

"What happened?" Father Liu came in from outside. "Who made my baby daughter angry?"

The servant girl didn't dare to say anything. She bowed and left the room.

"Father, Lord Cheng doesn't even bother with me. Last time, he even..." Left her in the wilderness. Liu Xinyue gritted her teeth and showed disappointment on her face. "Lord Cheng seems to like Qingqing. I heard the servants saying that they are always together."
