The carriage was running at full speed all the way, and two hours later the He brothers and sisters arrived near the Ge family's old house. In order to hide Zimu, they asked the coachman to park the carriage in a hidden place that was not easily noticed.

After all, the world is not at peace yet and horses are very precious. Apart from military generals and the royal family, even civil officials find it difficult to use horses to pull carriages.

At that time, most officials rode in ox carts, and oxen were difficult for ordinary merchants with household registration to get. Even the oxen of the Ge family were only available to the old man of the Ge family who had planned to get in touch with the Cheng family.

The three of them didn't have to wait long before a woman wearing gold and silver and whose identity could not be determined walked out of the Ge family. Zi Mu sneered twice when he saw this person.

It seems that not only the Cheng family but also the Ge family knew that Zijin was kidnapped. However, the woman looked calm and was in a hurry carrying a bag.

This woman was the one whom he had met once at the farm outside Cheng's house that day. Her dress was not much different from that day except that she was missing a few hairpins and rings. This shows that compared with the Ge family, the Cheng family is better at supporting people.

"Third and fourth brothers, that one is the Cheng family's housekeeper whom I met when I rescued Shao Shang that day. She was also the dowry of the second wife of Cheng."

Zi Mu's tone was not very good. When she saw Mrs. Li again, she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. Shao Shang was so young that he couldn't even save himself. Lian Fang and Fu Deng were just children under ten years old and could only be slaughtered at will.

He is just a servant who bullies the master of the Cheng family when his parents are not around. His methods are despicable and cruel and he is not worthy of being a human being.

"If a servant is wearing gold and silver, someone who doesn't know him would think he is some lady. As a housekeeper, she can wear gold and silver, but she is so harsh to her young son. If Zimu hadn't said that, I would have thought it was the second lady of the Cheng family."

He Zijun felt irritated by the arrogant look of Mrs. Li, so he turned to look at his younger sister and asked, "Zi Mu, what do you want to do?"

Zi Mu looked at Mrs. Li, who looked like a victorious rooster, and smiled: "Of course I will teach her a lesson and then lure her out of her hole to catch the big fish."

He Zijun was just about to walk towards the housekeeper when the door of the Ge family opened again.

This time, a sloppy-looking guy with the demeanor of a gangster came out. He was not very tall and his appearance was very ordinary.

He has the kind of appearance that you would forget no matter how many times you see him, but the frivolous look in his brows and his unsteady walk are very memorable.

When the three siblings of the He family saw how respectful the old woman was to the boy, they knew that this man must be the boy from the Ge family.

"The Ge family can raise such a boy, so it seems that they are not a good family."

"I don't know if the second Madam Cheng saved the entire Cheng family, otherwise how could she enter the Cheng family gate and fight with the lady?"

"I'm wondering how you do things? How old is Cheng Shaoshang? You can't even keep an eye on him? Didn't my aunt say that she would let me marry her in a few years?"

"If I hadn't thought she was pretty and would be quite beautiful in the future, I would have taken action long ago. I heard people say that young children are also quite interesting."

The housekeeper took a deep breath. Just because Madam Cheng was stupid didn't mean she was stupid too. The mistress of the Cheng family had made many contributions, so how could she marry her only daughter to the Ge family?

"Sir, this idea is not feasible. If something really happens, we will have a hard time explaining it to the Lord and Lady when they come back."

"Humph, if it's hard to explain, why not just say she died of illness? Anyway, my aunt also said that the Lady of the Cheng Family never thought of letting her daughter live to wait for them to come back."

The three brothers and sisters who were not far away heard what the two said clearly. It seemed that the daughter of the Ge family was not very virtuous, and the old man of the Ge family was full of calculations.

"They are really a nest of snakes and rats. They make me so angry." He Zijun is a military general with a bad temper.

When he was about to go out and chop the two beasts, He Ziyu, the third son of the He family, stopped him and said, "Let's listen to what else they have to say."

"If you really care, would you still keep Cheng Shaoshang's only daughter? It's been more than seven years, and it's fine that you didn't send anyone to pick up your daughter, but you couldn't even send someone back to check on her. Who can you fool?"

"Only Cheng Shaoshang, that idiot, really believes that her parents were taken away because of the war. And you said she was taken away by someone, by whom?"

Before the housekeeper could answer the Ge family boy's question, two branches brushed their necks and fell at their feet at the same time.

"I took it away. Any objection?"

The two men covered their necks and turned back at the same time, and found a girl wearing a moon-white three-legged long skirt and a full leather cloak.

The first time Housekeeper Li saw He Zimu, she knelt down. She had already learned from the lady of the Ge family about Zimu's status in the He family and even in the palace.

The Ge family's men did not have the ability to judge the situation like Mrs. Li, and they just looked at the girl who was prettier than Cheng Shaoshang in a lewd manner.

"Oh, you are such a pretty little girl..." Before he could finish the obscene words, he fell down with his eyes wide open and unwillingly.

Mrs. Li watched as the young master of the Ge family fell straight in front of her, with warm blood spilling over half of her body.

Just as Mrs. Li was about to shout loudly, she felt someone behind her, covering her mouth before she could react. At the same time, she subconsciously looked down and saw a dagger across her neck.

"Princess, do you want to leave him alive?"

Zimu looked at the person who came in surprise. It was Pei Yu who was beside Wen Zirui.

"This... knock him out first."

"Who is this Zimu?" He Zijun, who was wiping his sword, looked at Pei Yu several times before he was sure that the man in front of him was not the one sent by their He family to be with his sister.

"Third brother, fourth brother, this is General Pei Yu... He is a subordinate of the Third Prince."

The first moment Zimu saw Pei Yu, he cried out in his heart that he was unlucky. He was afraid that nothing he had done these days could be hidden from Wen Zirui, a petty-minded man.

"Why is General Pei here?" He Ziyu, the third son of the He family, stared at Pei Yu with a forced smile.

"Mr. He San, please don't stare at me like that. I'm not as good as Long Yang."

"Ahem..." As expected, he was Wen Zirui's man, as sharp-tongued as he was.

"You... I don't have any either."

Zimu and his fourth brother looked at each other, and at the same time lowered their presence and joked that their third brother also had a very poisonous tongue.
