"Aunt Xiao, does it hurt?"

Anger had tears in his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruge with a pouty mouth, as if he was about to cry.

He just looked at it. There is a big swelling on the ankle. It is dark purple and must be very painful.

"It won't hurt if you don't walk. Be good, Ang'er, don't cry."

Reaching out to wipe away Ang'er's tears, Xiao Ruge wanted to hug him, but the little guy was afraid of touching her wounds and refused to let her hug him no matter what.

"You too, how could you be so careless? You knew the situation in the woods was complicated, yet you still rode so fast!"

Ao Rong also felt sorry for Xiao Ruge. She said some words of blame, but she brought a lot of ointment when she came.

Mu Gu stood at the head of Xiao Ruge's bed, thinking about what happened in the woods, and suddenly said, "Actually, Second Miss Xiao was not careless. The horse got frightened and threw her off."

"Why would the horse be frightened?"

Mu Huan looked at Mu Gu in confusion, and at the same time worried that someone might have deliberately wanted to murder Xiao Ruge.

The horses that can be brought to the hunting ground are carefully selected and trained. Most of them have gentle temperaments and will not go crazy even if they encounter some minor emergencies occasionally.

So after hearing Mu Gu's words, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Mu Gu touched his nose awkwardly and glanced at Xiao Ruge. Seeing that she was only concentrating on amusing Ang'er and had no intention of stopping him, he told her about Xiao Mingzhi's tryst with someone in the woods.

After hearing this, everyone present didn't know what to say. In the end, Concubine Chun scolded him for being disrespectful to the elderly. Then everyone moved on from the incident and told Xiao Ruge to take good care of her injuries. After a while, everyone left.

After all, this is the Xiao family's business. Even if it is a side branch born out of wedlock, the ancestors have the same surname as Xiao Ruge, and everyone is afraid that Xiao Ruge will be embarrassed.

But they didn't know that the whole thing was planned by Xiao Ruge.

After everyone left, Mu Gu asked Bai Zhi to go out to guard the door, and he sat next to Xiao Ruge, lifted the quilt and took a look at her ankle which was as swollen as a steamed bun.

"Does it still hurt?"

Xiao Ruge smiled and shook her head, "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Seeing that she could still laugh, Mu Gu pinched her nose angrily and said disapprovingly: "Next time something like this happens, don't let yourself get hurt!"

Although the fingers pinching her nose were not very strong, it still made Xiao Ruge stunned.

She glared at Mu Gu and said helplessly, "I didn't expect to get hurt. It's all your fault. If you hadn't suddenly appeared and disrupted my actions, I wouldn't be like this!"

The fall from the horse was part of her plan, the purpose of which was to prevent the Xiao family from suspecting her.

Everything was planned well, but Mu Gu jumped out and hugged her. She was so surprised that she couldn't control her strength and twisted her foot.

Mu Gu sighed, reached out to smooth the hair around Xiao Ruge's ears, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"I just suddenly thought of going to find Father. You don't know, when I saw you fall off the horse, my heart almost jumped out of my chest! All I could think about was catching you, and I never thought of any other possibilities."

Xiao Ruge was sure of this because when she saw Mu Gu, this man's eyes were filled with panic and fear.

The pair of hands that were holding her tightly protected her and took her out of danger as quickly as possible.

Seeing that Xiao Ruge didn't say anything, Mu Gu thought she was rejecting him again, so he didn't take it seriously and directly brought up the matter between Xiao Mingzhi and Miss Sun.

"How do you know those two people are there?"

"On the day we arrived at Mount Li, I found Xiao Mingzhi talking to Miss Sun."

Xiao Ruge said it as a matter of course, but Mu Gu raised his eyebrows when he heard it.

"Based on this alone, you conclude that there is something fishy going on between the two of them?"

"I sent someone to secretly monitor the two of them, and then I discovered that their relationship was unusual."

Looking up at Mu Gu, and seeing some disbelief in his eyes, Xiao Ruge felt that this guy was becoming increasingly difficult to deceive.

She couldn't say that the two had an affair in the previous life, but when everyone found out, Miss Sun was already pregnant, so Xiao Mingzhi brought her into the house.

Now she just moved the time forward. For Miss Sun, the final result will be the same anyway. It makes no difference whether it is earlier or later.

Because Xiao Ruge was injured, she didn't go out for the last few days and stayed in the tent to recuperate.

She was quite far away from the Xiao family's tent and didn't know that there was a big quarrel over there. She only knew that Xiao Mingzhi finally decided to make Miss Sun his concubine.

This matter was the same as in the previous life, Miss Sun also became a concubine, but there was not much difference.

On the Xiao family's side, after Xu came back, she had a quarrel with Xiao Mingzhi, and it was even serious to the point of physical combat. She scratched Xiao Mingzhi's neck, leaving three bloody marks.

Xiao Mingzhi didn't let her get away with it. He pinned her to the ground and beat her up. The beating made Xu unable to go out for several days.

When Xiao Mingyue heard the voice, she wanted to go in and persuade them, but was pulled away by Old Lady Xiao.

She felt that Xu had really gone too far this time. Even though the emperor was still alive, she dared to beat and scold Xiao Mingzhi. She really didn't take her son seriously.

But she never thought that what her son did was so shameful, and it was only because that man was her own son that Old Lady Xiao was biased towards him.

After arriving at Mount Li, Xiao Mingyue has been living with Old Lady Xiao. When she heard the quarrel coming from the next tent again, she felt that she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

So he said something to Old Mrs. Xiao and took Chuntao out.

Now that she was engaged to Lu Yu, she no longer had to be as cautious and avoid suspicion as before. Thinking about how he was injured while saving the emperor a few days ago, she turned around and walked towards Lu Yu's tent.

Chuntao followed behind silently, and when she saw the direction her young lady was going, she had some guesses in her mind.

I couldn't help but say, "Miss, that's where the imperial guards live. It's not appropriate for us to go there."

Xiao Mingyue turned her head and glared at her, thinking that Chuntao was not as sensible as Chunzhi. She was just going to see her fiancé, what was inappropriate?

"You are a lady and I am a lady? You are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to interfere in the affairs of the master. I think you are itching for trouble, right?"

She reached out and twisted Chuntao's arm hard twice, which hurt so much that Chuntao cried. Only then did she feel better.

After teaching Chuntao a lesson and ordering her to guard outside the door, Xiao Mingyue turned around and walked into Lu Yu's tent with her head held high. Lu Yu was indeed there.

"Brother Yu, how are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

She came to see Lu Yu once on the day he was injured. At that time, Lu Yu looked a little bad because he was poisoned by a snake. But today she came to see him looking better.

When Lu Yu saw her coming, he couldn't help but give her a gentle smile.
