"Pei Yu, why are you here?" Zimu, feeling guilty about the looks from his two brothers, had to ask.

"Your Highness knows that the princess might come to the Ge family today, so he asked me to come and wait for the princess in advance."

"Wen Zirui knows I'm coming?"

"...Yes." Pei Yu knew that Princess Jinyang had always been very casual in addressing her own Highness, but he had never thought of it this casually.

"So, Brother Zirui, have you investigated the secrets of the Cheng, Ge, and Xiao families?"

"Yes"

Zi Mu's way of addressing the Third Prince changed very quickly. When he asked for help or to coax him, he would call him Brother Zirui. When he was angry, he would call him by his full name Wen Yang. Normally, he would call him Wen Zirui behind his back.

"What about Brother Zirui?"

"The Third Prince and Shiyilang went to the military camp and asked me to tell the princess that we will meet at the second lady He's return banquet."

"Actually...it's not necessary to see him." Zimu lowered his head and muttered softly.

Pei Yu had sharp ears and eyes, but he pretended not to hear it.

"Let's not talk about anything else for now, Zimu, just tell me what to do with what's on the ground." After wiping the sword, He Zijun kicked the body of the Ge family boy who had just molested his sister.

"Does Fluffball have any missions to take?"

"Dear, yes."

Mission 1: Bring the body of Ge's son directly to the door to intimidate the Ge family. The reward is unknown.

Task 2: Expel the Xiao family members who are studying in Bailu Mountain from Bailu Mountain. The reward is unknown.

"I received all the fluff balls."

"Okay, honey, honey, keep going."

Zimu glanced at the Ge family's gate not far away and smiled sarcastically.

"Third brother, fourth brother, with my status, can I be arrogant for once?"

"Of course, father, mother and brothers can protect you and Zijin."

"My He family's daughter was molested by a gangster, so what's wrong with killing him?"

"That's good." As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Mrs. Li in the chest.

Mrs. Li, who had fainted from fright, was suddenly kicked awake.

"Ahem, Princess, please spare my life, please..."

Zi Mu looked at Mrs. Li who was kowtowing and begging for mercy, and smiled when Mrs. Li thought she had escaped a disaster. He said, "That day, Fu Deng also begged you to find a doctor for Zi Jin."

"I, I am just a servant, and I am also following the orders of the princess."

"Who are you calling yourself? What is your identity and who is the princess personally appointed by His Majesty?"

Pei Yu has been with the Third Prince since he was a child. The Third Prince has always been very particular about rules, and Pei Yu has been influenced by them since he was a child.

Zimu ignored Pei Yu and continued to ask Mrs. Li: "Oh? Whose orders do you obey? The Ge family or the Ge family? Or both?"

"As long as the princess spares my life, I will tell you everything I know."

"How can she be a maid? Is there a maid who is more luxurious than the master's daughter?"

When everyone was staring at her, Mrs. Li hurriedly took off all the gold hairpins and gold bracelets on her head and body.

Finally, she even handed the bag on her back to Zimu tremblingly: "My lord, all these are for you, along with the gold, silver, jade and stones that the Lady of the Ge family just gave to me. Please spare my life."

He Ziyu looked at her with disdain: "I remember that you married the Cheng family's steward for the second time, and you had a son who is now the shopkeeper of a restaurant?"

Mrs. Li's face changed instantly. She was really afraid that her son might have an accident. She and her current husband had never had any children, and they were both counting on their son to support them in their old age.

"Princess, please let this servant's son go. I will never do anything wrong with the Second Madam again."

"I want to know who your master is. And I hope you tell the truth, or you will lose your son's legs."

He Ziyu ignored Mrs. Li's pleas and continued, "Your son seems to be discussing marriage with the daughter of the restaurant owner, right? If your son's legs were disabled, do you think that girl would be willing to marry a man who is paralyzed in bed and can't take care of himself?"

Mrs. Li's hair was disheveled at this time, and her face was covered with tears and snot. Large patches of Ge Jiazi's blood were still stuck to her body. Her expression was so sad that it looked extremely horrifying.

"I am the servant of the Lady of the Ge Family. My first husband was the steward of the Lady's family. He had an accident while trying to save her father... Later, the Lady asked me to go to the Cheng Family with the Second Madam."

"Tell me what the Ge family thinks about this matter?"

"Old Master Ge didn't say much, he just kept it a secret from the general and the queen who were far away at the border."

"Well, continue."

Zimu thought that Old Man Ge was really interesting. By hiding it from Cheng Shi and his wife, didn't that mean that he knew that the boxes of silver, money and cloth that Ge sent back to her parents' home were all occupied by Zijin?

"The Lady of the Ge Family said, said..."

Mrs. Li looked at the few people who were struggling over whether to tell the truth. What if her son was implicated if they told the truth?

"Just repeat what the Lady of the Ge Family said. After all, you also said that you are just a servant who follows orders."

What He Ziyu is best at is his current appearance, using his gentle and harmless tone to lure others into telling the truth.

"After the Lady of the Ge Family knew that the Fourth Lady was taken away by the Princess, she was silent for a long time, and then told the maid that the Fourth Lady was very lucky. The He family, whether it is the main family or the branch, is well-known for loving its daughters. It is better for the Fourth Lady to be taken away by the Princess than to be tortured and lose her life by the hands of the Cheng family."

"Third brother, Zimu, it seems that the daughter of the Ge family is a good person."

After all, He Zijun is a military general, and is indeed not suitable for analyzing things that require thinking.

"Go on, finish what you are going to say next." After saying this, He Ziyu rolled his eyes at his silly fourth brother.

Mrs. Li closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before continuing, "The Lady of the Ge Family also said that if the Fourth Lady is taken away by the Princess, it will be very difficult for the Cheng Family to take her back. In this way, the Third Lady will be the only daughter of the Cheng Family."

"She also said that when the general and the lady come back, they will not let the second lady go. The lady of the Cheng family, Xiao Yuanyi, is a person who knows how to judge the situation. She will not offend the He family and the princess for the sake of a daughter. She will only grab the third lady to her side. Xiao will treat the third lady well for the sake of her reputation."

"Also, if the Cheng family doesn't want to take back the Fourth Lady, it's not impossible for them to adopt the Third Lady as their child. In this way, the Third Lady will no longer be a commoner or a merchant's daughter, but a legitimate official's daughter."

"She didn't just say these, there should be other things."

"The Lady of the Ge Family also said that even if the Third Lady was not adopted, the Young Master would have a bright future if raised in the He Mansion. For the sake of her own reputation, the family that the Lady would find for the Third Lady would definitely not be much worse than that of the Fourth Lady."

He Zijun doesn't like to use his brain but he's not really stupid. He always feels that the lady of the Ge family is not as good as Li Guanfu said.

"What was the relationship between the Lady of the Ge Family and Madam Cheng in the past?"

Mrs. Li heard He Ziyu's question and continued, "Before the Second Madam got married, she was domineering in the Ge family. The Lady of the Ge family often suffered at the hands of the Second Madam. The Lady of the Ge family should have had two sons, but the Second Madam killed one of them."

"At that time, the daughter of the Ge family was already nearly eight months pregnant. I don't know why the second wife was dissatisfied and forced the daughter of the Ge family to give birth prematurely. The premature baby was a boy, but unfortunately he died before the full term."

……

"Mrs. Cheng San's aunt is really calculating every step of the way for Ms. Cheng San's future."

He Zimu did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. The old lady of the Cheng family was confused and vicious, and the Ge family was also harboring evil and marrying out a disaster.
