Comprehensive film and television: Female supporting role counterattack plan

"Madam Cheng, I saved your life several times on the battlefield, which offset your kindness. You gave birth to me once and used me as a chess piece to compete with Ge and Old Madam Cheng. When I was seven years old, I had a high fever for two days in the farm outside the city. If my sister hadn't passed by, I might have turned into a handful of yellow earth long ago..."

Shao Shang originally thought that she would be sad and unwilling to reveal her scars in front of Cheng Shi and his wife, but now she did not feel the slightest bit of emotion in her heart.

"You never raised me, and I never took care of you. We don't owe each other anything, and we just need to be well."

After realizing that he didn't care at all, Shao Shang smiled easily.

Originally, Cheng Ling was secretly jealous of Shao Shang. Although Xiao Yuanyi did not see the cunning expression that flashed across her face when she heard that Shao Shang would not return to the Cheng family, the Cheng father and son both kept it in mind.

Especially Cheng Yong and Cheng Song, the two brothers looked at each other and it was unclear what kind of cooperation they reached.

Zi Mu naturally saw the quarrels among several members of the Cheng family. The eldest son Cheng Yong and the second son Cheng Song were also well-known on the battlefield.

Cheng Yong was favored by Yin Xiu'e, the only daughter of Lord Yin, the Minister of Rites, who was also one of the Nine Ministers. The two had already been engaged and were going to get married soon.

Cheng Song was favored by Wan Qiqi, the youngest daughter of General Wan. The two of them were in love and only waited for Cheng Shi and his wife to agree to let Cheng Song marry into their family before getting married.

As the eldest and second sons of the Cheng family, who are already capable, and with the support of the Yue family in the future, it is no exaggeration to say that their future is limitless.

"Mrs. Cheng San seemed very happy that Zi Jin refused to return to the Cheng family."

The Cheng father and son did not expect that Zimu would blurt out Cheng Ling's little thoughts so bluntly. Xiao Yuanyi also turned to look at Cheng Ling in disbelief.

"I... Your Highness, no, I did not ask for your approval."

After Cheng Ling finished speaking, she lowered her head and pretended to be a cautious and innocent person. Unfortunately, she was so busy pretending to be pitiful and helpless that she didn't notice that Xiao Yuanyi's sharp eyes were looking her up and down.

When Xiao Yuanyi first married, her husband had many concubines and maids. But Xiao Yuanyi absolutely looked down upon Cheng Ling, who looked submissive but was actually a fool with ulterior motives that could be guessed by others.

"I see that the fabric of Madam Cheng San's dress and jewelry are very familiar to me... The patterns carved on the jewelry seem to be the unique style of the nomadic people in the border town, and the fabric seems to be the special one given by my father to meritorious officials."

As soon as Zi Mu finished speaking, everyone in the Cheng family stared at Cheng Ling and discovered that everything she was wearing and carrying were what they had sent back to the capital for Shao Shang.

"Cousin Lingling, why are all the jewelry you are wearing sent back to the capital for you by my brothers and my parents?"

Cheng Shaogong's words made the whole hall fall into silence, and at this time, Mrs. Li, the housekeeper who had been in the Cheng family's old house, was also brought in.

Mrs. Li, the housekeeper, complained to Mr. and Mrs. Cheng and the three sons of the Cheng family. She was forced to separate from her husband by Ge because she was imprisoned in the old house a year ago. Even though they were in the capital, they could only see each other a few times a year.

There is also what Mrs. Ge did, and the time when Shao Shang was bullied by the Ge family's boys and had his malt candy stolen, and the malt candy in Shao Shang's hand was knocked away and crushed when he was five years old.

At that time, Xiao Shaoshang could only collect the crushed maltose and lick it mixed with mud with tears in his eyes. She and Cheng Ling were watching in the corner.

The Ge family's son also cried to death when he heard Cheng Ling say there was not enough maltose, so he went to find Xiao Shaoshang and told him about his troubles.

This included the two rare times when Cheng Ling brought food to Xiao Shaoshang. Although there were soft and sticky sugar baits, she chose to send millet bags that were so cold that even an adult could hardly chew them.

Cheng Ling, who had been pretending to be pitiful, now looked pale and really pitiful.

"Brother, brother, father and mother, we need to go to our cousin Lingling's place and look for her carefully. We need to find out how much of her things she has stolen from us over the years."

The Cheng Shi couple and Cheng Yong and Cheng Song nodded at the same time and stood up to say goodbye.

Xiao Yuanyi didn't know how to face her daughter and could only remain silent. Cheng Shi looked at Shao Shang and said, "I was unlucky and couldn't keep my two daughters. I hope that Your Highness will have everything go smoothly and marry a good man from now on."

When the Cheng family was about to leave, Zimu spoke again: "My father and brothers will be returning to the capital soon. Their personalities are similar to the three young masters of the Cheng family. If you are willing, you can come to my house at any time to ask for advice and learn from us."

"Thank you, Princess Jinyang. When the generals of the He family and the two Lords He return, we brothers will visit them often to seek advice."

The third son of the Cheng family really likes Shao Shang. He took good care of Shao Shang when he didn't know her identity before. This is also the reason why Xiao Yuanyi taught them several times that etiquette cannot be abolished.

After the Cheng family left, Shao Shang hugged Zimu and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, sister. You are the best sister in the world."

Zi Mu glanced at Shao Shang who was hugging him and acting like a spoiled child, and replied to her unhappily: "You, you only know how to act like a spoiled child. I really don't know whether Brother Zi Sheng treats you as a bride or a daughter."

"Hmph, what are you doing with all that Ti Zisheng? I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Shao Shang ran away after she finished speaking. She was most afraid of being nagged by Zimu.

"She's grown up now, so I can't say anything to her anymore?" Zimu smiled helplessly as he watched Shao Shang leaving.

"Shall I remind you that you are the same age as her?"

"Zi Rui" At this time a pleasant voice came from behind Zi Mu. Zi Mu turned around and saw the owner of the voice and he was no happier.

"Yeah." Wen Zirui realized who Zimu was looking for after she looked left and right. Before Zimu could ask him, he said honestly, "Zisheng has gone to find someone to decorate the palace and will be here soon."

"The emperor gave Brother Zisheng a new mansion, which should indeed be renovated. His previous residence... is hard to describe."

"Zi Rui, when did you come? They didn't even tell me."

"When you were talking to the Cheng family, Princess Situ was really angry."

Zimu heard the teasing in Wen Zirui's words and glanced at him: "Are you afraid that I can't handle Madam Cheng?"

"She is someone who can use her own daughter as a pawn to help her family. Now, apart from joining the army and having a career as an official, the Xiao family's path to study has been blocked. If Madam Cheng doesn't care about her anymore, who can stand up to her?"

"It's true that she cares about the Xiao family, but she cares more about the Cheng family and her son's career, otherwise she wouldn't have taken any action after returning to the capital for almost a year."

Zi Mu has very complicated feelings towards Xiao Yuanyi. She has a daughter in her heart but unfortunately her daughter is ranked too far back. It seems that anyone and anything can be ranked before her daughter, and it is too cheap to be her.

"That's because she knows clearly that the people in her family are not reliable at all."

"Zi Mu, why do you think the Cheng family came today?"

"Mrs. Cheng can easily guess that she wants to see if she can control Zijin with her identity as a biological mother. If not, she also wants to win over Zijin, at least to make the third son of the Cheng family have a good relationship with Zijin."
