All Four of My Cousins Love Me

A young lady cousin has arrived at the Duke of Dingguo's residence. She is as beautiful as a celestial being, with a slender waist and a delicate, boneless figure, immediately putting the duchess on alert.

The capable matron at the duchess's side said proudly:

"There are four young masters in this household, each handsome and accomplished. The heir in particular is as beautiful as Pan An, with a refined bearing. He is ambitious too, and became a Censorate official at a young age. He has the emperor's favor and great power in his hands. So many young ladies in the capital are competing to marry him!"

The matron raised her brows smugly. "You'd have to see the scene for yourself. You might even find yourself smitten with one of the young masters. There'll be another heartbroken young lady in the capital before long."

Cui Meng lowered her eyes and replied meekly, "My cousins shine like the sun and stars. San Niang wouldn't dare aspire to them."

At first, the duchess didn't believe her.

But as time went by, Cui Meng truly did keep her distance from her cousins, behave herself, and show the heir nothing but proper respect, never once crossing a line. Only then was the duchess satisfied.

She could warn Cui Meng not to use tricks to bewitch her sons, but she couldn't stop her sons from falling for her of their own accord!

The second son, gentle and refined, who loved to lose himself in nature, suddenly started painting pictures of beautiful women.

The third son, who practiced with weapons and dodged his tutor, suddenly began to study hard, burning the midnight oil.

The fourth son, a libertine without a care in the world, suddenly turned over a new leaf and became chaste.

For a while, the duchess couldn't decide whether to worry about the brothers fighting over her or be pleased that her sons were applying themselves.

The eldest was still the best. He had been mature and steady since childhood, excelled at everything, and never gave her anything to worry about.

Just as she watched her sons sink deeper and prepared to take drastic measures, the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn: Cui Meng had become engaged to an outsider!

She happily prepared a dowry for the beautiful young lady cousin, whose looks could cause disaster. At last, she could send this troublemaker away!

But when she turned around, the heir, usually so cold, taciturn, and devoted to propriety, barged in without being announced. Three suggestive red marks showed on his neck, and his eyes flashed with fury.

"Mother, you may as well make the dowry more generous. You're sending it with your own daughter-in-law, after all."
