"..." Madam He looked at her three daughters-in-law: "Can you tell me why?"

"According to what Aunt Jun and Aunt Xiao just said, the old lady and Madam Zhong should like Erlang very much. If Erlang is kept, he will not only not be tortured or abused, but will even be well educated."

"But Mrs. Cheng Xiao looked down on Jungu, who came from a farming family, and Difu, who came from a merchant family, so she believed from the bottom of her heart that these two people could not raise a good son."

"Plus, she and Jun Gu and Di Fu always competed with each other in everything when she was at home. She couldn't bet that the two rivals at home could teach their son well."

"Well, since the boy can be treated well, why keep the girl? The boy can wait for her to come back and teach her well."

He Jiawulang is young, and the He family's several branches have always been harmonious and each has their own responsibilities. Everyone's hearts and minds are working together, so one would never expect how dirty the backyard can be.

General He and the three men who had already been to the battlefield had already realized that something was wrong. Things could change rapidly on the battlefield and one could lose one's life if one was not careful. From the fact that they had a certain prestige in the army, it was known that this father and son were all smart people.

The fourth sister-in-law of the He family said, "Uncle, please continue listening. I heard that Madam Cheng Zhong has only one daughter who was raised in her natal family. If the son is left behind with a soft-hearted and opinionless aunt in front and a malicious wife behind, then it will be a matter of time before the son is adopted."

"If we can prevent our daughter from being tortured, even if our son is adopted, it won't be difficult to adopt him back after they come back. After all, the Cheng family is supported by Captain Cheng, who is also the master of the Cheng family. Don't they have the final say in everything?"

"Hey, Lao Wu, shut up. You've read so much that you're almost stupid. You can't even think flexibly anymore."

Madam He nodded in satisfaction at her three daughters-in-law and continued, "It's true that Madam Cheng is the daughter of the Cheng family. The previous housekeeper power is probably not in her hands, otherwise the liar who was bribed by Madam Zhong of the Cheng family would not be able to enter the Cheng family and make irresponsible remarks."

"Mrs. Cheng married Captain Cheng for the second time, so she has no power as a housekeeper. Secondly, she has to help the defeated Xiao family. As for how much help she can provide, it depends on whether she has power as a housekeeper. So even if she knows that her daughter will be tortured or even die young if she keeps her daughter, she still wants to keep her daughter."

"A lady of the Cheng family who was praised by His Majesty for being as brave as a man and who left her newborn daughter behind to rush to the lonely city with her husband, returned from the battlefield only to find her daughter being taught to be vulgar or abused to death by her aunt and concubine..."

"As long as she comes back and makes a scene and pretends to be sick for a while, her husband who already loves her will feel even more guilty. By then, the rumors all over the capital will not only help her get justice, but also allow her to feel more at ease to help her Xiao family."

"Your Majesty has always been kind and would reward her with more unexpected things as a consolation. So to her, this daughter was just a chess piece that she had abandoned. That's why she didn't leave any loyal people to take care of her, but only two maids and servants who were only a few years older than her daughter and were of little use."

"If what Jun-gu said is true, then Madam Cheng must have left a spy to communicate with her. My aunt also said that if there is any problem, let the girl's parents find her. I'm afraid that Madam Cheng's letter will be delivered to the He family in a few days."

As Madam He finished speaking, the entire Cuizhuju fell silent. Except for Zimu, who had known this would happen, everyone else felt as disgusted as if they had a fly in their mouth and were spitting it out.

The young ladies of the He family sighed and felt a little sorry for this little girl who had been used as a pawn by her mother since she was born.

Madam He asked, "Zi Mu, Yuchan came over just now. Did that little girl wake up? Where is she now? Let us teach her."

Zimu was also melancholy. He was relieved when he knew Shaoshang had woken up. "She is in the side room of my courtyard, mother. You don't know that when I went to save her, I found it was so cold. Her family didn't even give her firewood. She burned herself all over in the morning. Yuchan told me that she had just woken up."

The fourth young master's wife of the He family took a deep breath. Perhaps it was because she was a mother, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard other children being used as pawns by their mothers and being tortured by unkind elders: "Uncle Jun, Aunt Jun, I want to go see that poor little girl first."

"let's go together."

Zimu took Madam He and his three brothers and their wives to his own courtyard. General He and several of the He brothers went to the Chenxiang Pavilion where the He family held meetings because of the strict separation of men and women.

He Yong left a few men behind not only for the purpose of protecting men and women, but also because those who often fought on the battlefield would always have family members serving as doctors in the rear.

Thinking of his daughter who had been spoiled since childhood, He Yong said to his eldest son in a serious tone, "Da Lang, find someone you can trust to check the identity of that little girl. Don't let the three of them, the master and the servant, deceive Zimu."

He Jiadalang nodded and said, "Don't worry, father. I will send a few more people to investigate separately."

An hour later, several spies from the He family came back at the same time: "Reporting to the general and the three junior generals, I have sent people to investigate separately. The girl rescued by the princess today is indeed the fourth lady of the Cheng family, the youngest daughter of Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi, who are subordinates of General Wan Songbai's family..."

"You can tell me what you found out."

"I have found out that this Cheng family is very strange. Before the fourth lady Cheng, there was another daughter in the Cheng family. She was the first daughter born after Madam Cheng remarried. Her name was Cheng Jing, but she died in the military camp before she was one year old."

"It is said that the reason for the premature death was that Madam Cheng went out to look for her daughter. When the group of people found her and hurried back, they discovered that Cheng Ni, who was still unable to walk, had overturned a candlestick for some unknown reason and was burned to death."

"This is also the reason why the fourth lady Cheng was left at home, and Captain Cheng was reluctant but also insisted on taking his daughter away. After this incident, Madam Cheng had more say in the Cheng family. Originally, because Madam Cheng Xiao Yuanyi married into the Cheng family for the second time and was dissatisfied with being made difficult by the old lady of the Cheng family, Cheng Shi, who had always been playing the game of peacemaker, began to speak for his wife."

"Later, before Cheng Shi was ordered to support the lonely city, Madam Cheng suddenly gave birth to twins. Later, the old lady of the Cheng family said that the old immortal had something to say and that one of them must stay with her, otherwise it would be disobedient and unfilial. So Madam Cheng made the decision to leave the daughter behind and bring the son with her."

"I also learned that the old lady of the Cheng family and Mrs. Cheng Zhong originally wanted to keep Madam Cheng, but unexpectedly, Madam Cheng decided to keep the daughter. The fourth daughter was also pitiful because she was abandoned by her parents right after she was born without even a sip of milk."

"Everything else is exactly as the princess said." The He family spy looked up at the faces of General He and several of the He family's men and continued, "The Cheng Shi couple have made many military achievements with General Wan over the years. In addition to a small portion of money given to the Xiao family, the rest of the money has been continuously sent to the capital. The second branch of the Cheng family took the money and not spent it on Madam Cheng Si, but also came to their own cloth shop. Most of the money sent by the first branch was sent to the second branch's wife's family, the Ge family."

"What's funny is that the third lady of the second branch of the Cheng family is two years older than the fourth lady. Although she was sent back to the Ge family when she was young, she has never suffered any grievances. She wears the cloth and jewelry sent by the first branch. Because of the first branch of the Cheng family, everyone in the Ge family dares not show any disrespect to her young lady who went to the capital."

"Mrs. Cheng Si was also taken back to her parents' home by Mrs. Cheng Zhong. She was bullied by a group of girls from the Ge family and had no power to fight back."
