"Madam Cheng, do you have any objections to the emperor's order? Although Marquis Quling cannot attend the court, I can help Madam Cheng pass the sign so that she can explain to the emperor."

Xiao Yuanyi glared at Shao Shang and then continued to talk to Zimu, "Why are you so anxious to speak? Why do you want to involve the innocent Lingling with the fault of your parents?"

When Cheng Ling heard Xiao Yuanyi's defense, she did not feel grateful. She just felt that Xiao Yuanyi was slapping her in the face with the mistakes of her father and mother.

Cheng Ling's gloomy eyes and expression did not escape Zimu and Shaoshang's eyes just because she lowered her head. The two sisters looked at each other and both felt that Cheng Ling was a bit interesting.

Zi Mu also sighed in his heart: The means of the lady of the Ge family are really amazing. Not only has she easily trained Cheng Ling to be a person whose abilities do not match her ambitions, but she can also make it easy for people to see what she is thinking. This third lady Cheng is really stupid and does not know it herself.

When Shao Shang heard Xiao Yuanyi speaking to his sister in a bad tone, he simply stopped pretending to be a dignified person.

She hated it the most when people talked about her sister, especially when Xiao Yuanyi spoke in a bad tone, so she just said directly: "Madam Cheng, if you have something to say, please tell me directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush and make people confused? If there is nothing to say, does Madam Cheng look down on us sisters? Or have we done something against the Cheng family? Why does Madam Cheng want to be disrespectful to us sisters in my He family?"

At this time, Xiao Yuanyi was also awakened by Shao Shang's series of questions. There is a huge difference between the Cheng family and the He family, and there is an even greater difference between Cheng Shi and General He, a military general who is one of the three highest officials in the country.

Shao Shang and Zi Mu completely released their aura, and even Xiao Yuanyi couldn't withstand it, let alone Cheng Ling.

Xiao Yuanyi was also secretly regretting why she was so impatient. Cheng Shaoshang was no longer a chess piece that she could manipulate.

The two men in front of her had titles, fiefs, military merits, and reputations for governing the people. She was so impatient that she was afraid that it would bring more trouble to the Cheng family.

Now that Shao Shang has stepped out of Xiao Yuanyi's narrow-minded chessboard of using her own daughter's blood and tears as chess pieces, he discovers that when Xiao Yuanyi is using others, she is also used by others, just like why Cheng Ling appeared in the He family.

"Cheng Shaoshang, I am your mother. You are disobedient to me by speaking to me like this."

Zimu and Shaoshang waited for a while and were disappointed by Xiao Yuanyi's blurt-out words "mother" and "disobedient". It seemed that Old Madam Cheng did not dare to tell Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Shi all the good things she and Ge had done.

Shao Shang gave his elder sister a soothing look and said to Xiao Yuanyi, "I am the adopted daughter of His Majesty and the daughter of the He family. My father, mother, brother and sister-in-law will return to the city with the He family's troops in a few days. Madam Cheng's words "my mother" really confused me."

"Cheng Shaoshang, you have climbed up to the He family and used the He family to climb up to the throne of the Queen and disown your biological mother. You are disobedient..."

Shao Shang did not give Xiao Yuanyi the opportunity to continue to talk about him: "It seems that the spy that Madam Cheng planted in the capital never told Madam Cheng about what happened after I came to the He family."

Yuechan whispered in Zimu's ear: "Your Highness, Marquis Quling and the three young masters of the Cheng family are afraid that Madam Cheng will make a scene, so they have come to the He family too, and are waiting outside the Chenxiang Pavilion."

"Yuechan asked them to come in and told Yuchan to bring the evidence of Zijin being tortured in the Cheng family and the letter that Madam Cheng gave to my mother. Remember to go to the Cheng family's old house to find Mrs. Li and move quickly."

"Yuan Yi, what are you doing?"

Cheng Shi, with the three sons of the Cheng family, heard his wife talking about his daughter's disobedient words when they were outside the door. After coming in, he first comforted his wife and then greeted Shao Shang and Zi Mu politely.

Originally, officials only needed to perform formal greetings when meeting royal princesses, but the two at the top were too special. In addition to their status as princesses, one was Princess Situ, who had military power equal to the three highest officials, and Shao Shang also held official positions in the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, not to mention being among the Nine Ministers.

Regardless of her status as a princess or her official position, even if she is the lowest-ranking daughter of General He's mansion, she can suppress the Cheng family and they cannot afford to offend her.

After Cheng Shaogong learned from his mother that Princess Liyang was his biological sister, he used divination to find out that the relationship between his sister and the Cheng family was severed and that his sister would never return to the Cheng family.

When Zimu saw Shao Shang nodding to him, he knew that she did not have any extra feelings for Madam Cheng. He felt quite good about the Cheng father and son after spending a year and a half at the border, and he felt the same way.

Cheng Shi truly loves and respects Xiao Yuanyi, and loves all their children as well. He cares more about his own daughter, whom he only saw once since she was born, than his own sons.

Because his wife had asked to take their daughter to live with her several times but was rejected, Shao Shang tried his best to give his daughter all kinds of gifts, but unfortunately those things were never used by Shao Shang.

The three sons of the Cheng family also have various expectations for Shao Shang, their younger sister. When they were at the border, they said that they would return home to compensate and love their younger sister and make her a girl that everyone in the capital envied.

"Marquis Quling and the three young masters of the Cheng family, please take a seat first. I happen to have some very interesting things here that I would like to invite the four of you to take a look at together."

As soon as Zi Mu finished speaking, Yuchan delivered several scrolls and letters with some thoughts to the Cheng father and son. Although the four Cheng father and son were puzzled, they opened the scrolls in front of them and took a look.

Xiao Yuanyi said nothing after her husband and son appeared. The scrolls and letters sent by Yuchan gave her a bad feeling in her heart, but she couldn't use any identity to control Shao Shang now, so she could only give up and wait quietly.

The faces of the Cheng family's father and sons became more and more ugly. Except for Cheng Shi who remained silent, the other three sons of the Cheng family looked at their mother in disbelief.

They had seen too much fighting on the battlefield before, but there were girls in the military camps. Wan Qiuqiu from the Wan family grew up in a border military camp since birth, and many of the Wan and Cheng family soldiers also took their daughters with them to the battlefield.

Cheng Yong and Cheng Song knew that in addition to their younger sister, they also had a biological sister, who died in the military camp due to an accident when she was less than a year old.

They originally thought that their mother was worried that the past would happen again, but they didn't expect that their mother had gained huge benefits from the death of their elder sister and thus used the younger sister as a pawn even more unscrupulously to check and balance the Ge family. And the eldest mother even wanted to use the younger sister's blood and tears to control their father.

"I hope that Marquis Quling can consider these letters and notes and let his wife and Zijin live in peace in the future. We can just be ordinary comrades."

Facing Xiao Yuanyi's incredulous eyes, Cheng Shi nodded silently. He loved his daughter and understood and respected his wife even more. From now on, he would just think that he was unlucky and had no daughter.

"Your Highness, Shao Shang is my biological daughter after all, why..."

Before Xiao Yuanyi finished her words, Yuchan placed the scrolls and letters that the Cheng father and son had read in front of her. She took a quick look and knew that this daughter knew everything and she could not control her at all.
