He Yong looked at his two daughters, one older and one younger, and nodded with satisfaction. The older daughter had been going to bed early and getting up early for many years and was used to getting up before dawn to practice swordplay, archery and horse riding. After the older daughter finished practicing, she would go to wake up the younger daughter, who would also get up in a daze and start class.

He was filled with emotion for a moment. After breakfast, he expressed his feelings to his wife: "Madam, you see, although our Zimu has been spoiled since childhood, I was worried that she would be jealous of Zijin, but I didn't expect that our Zimu could also be a very qualified sister."

"My husband, what you said is true. Zimu has always been precocious. When he was holding his first birthday ceremony, we could tell he was a child with his own ideas. He has been sensible and rarely cries since he was young. My father and mother have said more than once that Zimu is here to repay their gratitude."

He Yong could tell his wife was unhappy and quickly stood up to massage her shoulders. "Madam, I know our Zimu is sensible, but I feel a little disappointed. The five sons in our family have been naughty since they were young. In the barracks, they had endless fights and arguments with other military commanders' children. Compared with them, our Zimu really seems to be here to repay his gratitude."

"What is the husband missing?"

"Since Zimu was born, I have spent most of my time either on the battlefield or in the military camp. Later, Zimu was recruited into the palace by His Majesty and taught by the Empress and Concubine Yue. It is a blessing and an honor for Zimu to be named a princess, but I always feel that I have missed too much for Zimu."

Madam He laughed out loud after hearing her husband's sudden sad words: "My husband's children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Although Zimu spends most of his time in the palace, our sons are always by your side. What is there to be disappointed about?"

"Humph, how can those five brats compare to our good daughter?"

"My husband is too partial. It's just that the five of us in the family also favor our younger sister. Otherwise, if we run into an ignorant girl, she'll make a scene."

"Our three new wives are good too. Those three brats are just good-looking. They married three filial, gentle and trouble-free new wives."

General He refused to admit the fact that although his five sons were a little naughty when they were young, they were actually very outstanding.

"When Zihong and Zilang came into the family as new wives, Zimu was not even one year old yet. At that time, the two new wives treated Zimu like their own daughter and raised her up."

Seeing that her husband was still stubborn and didn't say anything, Madam He continued, "Zijun's new wife also likes Zimu very much. In the whole capital, except for the Wan family, no other family is as harmonious as ours. The brother-sister relationship is a good story in the whole capital."

"Madam, what you said is true. Our children are naturally good, but good sons and daughters are even better."

"It was only after Zijin came to our house that I began to worry about my daughter. I was worried that Zimu would be jealous and that Zijin's health would be difficult to recover. But it turns out that my little daughter is also sensible."

Here, He Zhaojun also went out with her third and fourth brothers.

The brothers He Ziyu and He Zijun stared at their silent sister since they got on the carriage.

The two looked at each other and didn't ask where they were going. They always felt that their help might be needed later, so instead of asking questions, it was better to close their eyes and rest.

Zimu looked at his two brothers who had closed their eyes and asked curiously, "Brother Three and Brother Four, don't you ask me where we are going?"

He Ziyu glanced at his sister and said, "What else could it be? It's because of Zijin. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. No matter what you want to do, the brothers will accompany you and protect you."

Zimu nodded and sighed again that the He brothers were simply the earliest sister-con.

Thinking of the things Shao Shang said in his sleep when he was unconscious and some of the things he told her when they slept together, Zimu was so angry that she wanted to drag out the people from the Ge and Cheng families and beat them up one by one.

"Zijin is so pitiful. If he hadn't met me, he would have died in the Cheng family's farm. Third brother and fourth brother, I have found out some things about the second branch of the Cheng family."

"Zijin is now our younger sister, born to the same parents as us. It is my duty as a brother to seek justice for her."

He Ziyu was somewhat curious about what his sister had found out.

"Over the years, the second wife of the Cheng family used the money sent back by Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi to support her parents' family, and she also opened a shop and a cloth store."

"Speaking of which, compared to Xiao Yuanyi, that vicious woman is even worse. In order to compete with Xiao Yuanyi, she threw her several-month-old daughter back to her parents' home. She and her husband worked day and night just to give birth to a son."

"It would have been better if she wasn't born. Even if she was, with a mother and an aunt of that kind, a cowardly father, and a bunch of calculating relatives, she would have been half-ruined since she was born."

"Cough cough..."

"Ahem... Zimu, how can you, a little girl who is less than eight years old, speak like that?"

The poor brothers He Ziyu and He Zijun were so shocked by their sister's bold words that they started coughing.

"Fourth brother, you are a married military commander, what do you have to be embarrassed about? Look, third brother, a scholar who vowed to be the first civil servant of the He family, hasn't said anything yet, so why are you so anxious?"

After receiving his brother's disdainful look, He Ziyu quickly denied: "It's not that I won't tell you, it's that I don't have the chance to tell you."

"Brother, please don't say anything. Can you guys just listen to me first?"

After the two brothers nodded, Zimu continued, "The daughter of the second house is living a prosperous life in Madam Cheng's family. You all know this, right?"

"Yes, I know. The Ge family has considered everything very thoroughly. It can be said that the calculations are very clear. On the one hand, the master and mistress of the Ge family can tell from the wealth brought back by the second wife of Cheng that Cheng Shi has made many military achievements and his future is immeasurable. The third wife of the Cheng family is the daughter of the owner of Bailu Mountain. The third wife Cheng Zhi is himself a genius praised by all the teachers of the Sang family, and his future is also limitless."

"They are currently only eyeing the first house. On the one hand, they are thinking that after Cheng Shi brings his niece home in the future, Cheng Ling will be able to help the Ge family because of her years of love. In addition, Cheng Ling grew up in the Ge family, and the Ge cousins ​​all revolve around her, even the Ge family's wife ignores her. This may also be caused by the Ge family's female ruler herself."

"Third brother, what you said is very true. So many people in the Cheng and Ge families have their own plans, but no one has come to the rescue of Shao Shang. I heard Zimu say that when she followed Madam Cheng back to her parents' home, the children of Madam Cheng's family not only bullied her but also spread rumors that she was a bastard that no one wanted."

He Zijun couldn't suppress his anger when he heard this, and the general's momentum came out: "Birds of a feather flock together, and people of the same family are like birds of a feather. Madam Cheng is such a vicious person, and she really didn't come out of a stone."

"Zijin has obviously been through a lot. My father and I were worried that you were being cheated. My eldest brother also found out that although Zijin has suffered setbacks everywhere, she will always be kind to anyone who treats her well. Only then did my father feel relieved to let her be his heir."

He Zijun also nodded: "After some time, when Zijin is feeling better, Zimu, take her to exercise every day. Although she doesn't need to fight in the battlefield, it will be better for her health to learn some martial arts."

"I was thinking that the daughter of a military commander must be good at riding and shooting."

Zimu thought that this time her fourth brother would finally agree with her.
