Zimu was very satisfied to see the three people in the hall suppressing their nervousness but still looking at a loss, but she had no intention of letting them go.

After all, an old man who knew his daughter was doing evil and did not try to stop her gave birth to a son who turned a blind eye to his wife's distress and allowed her to raise the daughter of his enemy.

Is there anything more reasonable than this?

In order to take revenge on his uncle, a man instigated the Ge family to surround the enemy's daughter all day long, so that the enemy's daughter had been pampered by her cousins ​​since childhood. How would Mrs. Cheng San adapt when she returned to the Cheng family in the future?

Fu's mother, who indulged Cheng Sanniang's maidservant, snatched the things of her two daughters and one concubine's daughter. Every time, she would pick them up high and put them down gently, then make some indifferent remarks to smooth over the matter.

The indulgent Madam Cheng San knew very well that her aunt and the maid always snatched the things of the girl from the Ge family, but she was still fearless. After all, in Madam Cheng San's eyes, her aunt was like a mother to her.

In Zimu's opinion, Mrs. Ge was really stupid and vicious. She just thought that the daughter of the Ge family did not dare to neglect her own daughter and forced her own daughter to be nice to her niece because she was afraid of her.

But she never thought that her daughter had no feelings for herself at all. Even if Cheng Ling had a good future and married into a wealthy family, all Cheng Ling would think about was her aunt and the cousins ​​of the Ge family who had protected her since she was a child.

"If you don't believe me, take a closer look. Whether it's a jade pendant or other objects, as long as they are objects given by His Majesty in the palace, they all have the mark of the Capital Artisan's workshop in an inconspicuous place."

Zi Mu's words made the three people from the Ge family even more uneasy. They were not as vicious and brainless as the old lady of the Cheng family and Mrs. Ge. They naturally knew that the rewards given by His Majesty could not be given away casually.

Before, I thought that since there was no mark on it and the rewards were both plentiful and good, they could just use them. The Ge family was considered a wealthy family and no one would find out.

I didn't expect that today someone would tell them that the cloth bestowed by His Majesty were all specially made. They could not be bought outside and no one dared to make cloth with the same workmanship as the imperial gift. The rewarded items also had the mark of the capital craftsman workshop.

"I am your humble daughter, and I have been loved by your Majesty since I was young. I have been raised by your Majesty, the Empress, and the Concubine Yue. I have never heard my father say that there are any civil officials or military officers with the surname Ge in the court."

"The county master..."

Zi Mu ignored the Ge family members kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy and continued, "I am just a merchant and a commoner without an official position. I have never done anything meritorious to receive a reward from His Majesty, but the Ge family has something that His Majesty gave to military commanders who have made military achievements."

"Stealing something bestowed by the Emperor is a serious crime."

"Please understand, my lady. The Ge family, a common merchant, would never dare to steal something bestowed by the emperor."

The lady of the Ge family also realized that Zimu was not as easy to deal with as a child, so she could only try her best to exonerate the Ge family.

"Then why can the imperial gift appear in the Ge family?"

The three people in charge of the Ge family knelt on the ground in fear.

"She is my youngest daughter. Her husband's uncle serves under General Wan. He has been rewarded many times by your majesty for his many military exploits."

Now, Grandpa Ge is unable to risk the lives of everyone in the Ge family to protect his daughter who has been married for many years.

"Of course I know that your uneducated and extremely vicious daughter is a woman from the Cheng family."

Zimu thought of his sister who was the same age as him but half a head shorter than him and continued, "To be honest, if I hadn't come to the Ge family and seen the old man today, I would have thought that the eldest daughter of the Changfang family was an orphan with no parents and no one to teach her."

Zimu's words made his two brothers He Ziyu and He Zijun laugh out loud.

Only Pei Yu felt that the princess's current aura and tone of voice were exactly the same as those of his Third Prince.

Zi Mu's words made Ge Taigong look so ashamed that his face turned blue and white, and then white and red, which was very interesting.

After hearing Zimu's words, the lady of the Ge family felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a little. Over the years, every time she saw Cheng Ling, she would think of Ge's face that made her disgusted.

Over the years, whenever Cheng Ling got close to her, she would think of her son who was born prematurely due to the torture caused by Ge and died at birth.

She couldn't blame him because her uncle had punished Ge in the past, just like she had punished Cheng Ling's mother-in-law and the maid with gentleness when they had allowed them to snatch her daughter's things.

If I hadn't comforted my three daughters in private, not to mention my concubine's daughters, even my two biological daughters would probably have become estranged from me.

"Why did the reward from Mr. and Mrs. Cheng appear in your Ge family? Could it be that your daughter married the second wife of the Cheng family on the surface, but secretly served the two brothers of the first and second wives of the Cheng family at the same time?"

He Zijun has been in the military camp for many years. What good words can a group of rough and careless men say? If not talk about some romantic things, do they have to recite poems and compose essays?

After hearing this, Zimu and He Ziyu looked at their younger brother and older brother at the same time, and thought to themselves: It has to be you, who says such things so easily.

"Cough-cough-"

Zi Mu saw that Mr. Ge was so angry that his face turned blue and he couldn't speak. In order to prevent the old man from getting angry to death, he changed the subject.

"So you know all these things. Since you are using the rewards that Cheng Shi and his wife received so comfortably, you probably also know what life Shao Shang has been through under the Ge family."

"I know that Fourth Lady Cheng is living a life... worse than death."

Mr. Ge closed his eyes and for the first time regretted not educating his daughter well. He regretted not stopping his daughter even though he knew she was doing evil.

"You should call Shao Shang "Young Master". After all, the head of the Cheng family is Cheng Shi, a lieutenant who has military merits and a position. Although the first and second Cheng branches are brothers, the second branch is a commoner. As a commoner bride, your mother's family can only call Shao Shang "Young Master". "

"Yes, the princess taught me that."

"It's normal that you don't understand these things. What good things can there be in a family that can raise such a vicious woman? Don't you think so... Pei Yu."

"Yes" was the only answer Pei Yu could give as he was forced to do business.

The faces of the three people from the Ge family changed and became very lively. Zi Mu felt bored as he looked at the three people who had no intention of refutation.

"Daughter of the Ge family, you did a good job. You are a smart person, unlike that vicious woman of the Ge family who tortured the eldest daughter of the family."

"Yes." The lady of the Ge family knew that her plans were all known to others.

But she was not afraid. After all, she turned a blind eye to the torture of Cheng Shaoshang because she figured out Xiao Yuanyi's thoughts. Now Zimu wanted her to continue.

"You are the only virtuous person in the Ge family. Just treat Madam Cheng San well and don't let her be as pitiful as Shao Shang."

Grandpa Ge and the head of the Ge family were confused. They always felt that there was something else behind the conversation between Zimu and the head of the Ge family, but they just couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it. For the sake of the daughter of the Ge family, return the things that Cheng Shi and his wife gave to their daughter. This matter is over now and I will not mention it again."

"Thank you, Princess. Please give me one day to pack it up. I will use money to make up for the amount that has been used and send it to the He family tomorrow."

Zimu was very satisfied with what Grandpa Ge had said and continued, "You must remember what I am going to say next. Grandpa Ge has been ill for more than eight years and has not taken care of family affairs. As for the items sent back by the Ge family, you dare not use them. So after I came, when you heard that Shao Shang was in the He family, you asked me to return these to Shao Shang."
