Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 12 Forgive Me
She had just arrived in the capital, but she had already subdued this notorious dandy. It seemed that she could let the maids in her family spend more time with this cousin in the future.
Xiao Ruge glanced at Zhu Chengxi indifferently, then looked at the gifts she brought.
In addition to the finest fabrics and two boxes of jewelry, there was also a 500-year-old ginseng and a Ganoderma lucidum the size of an adult man's palm.
Seeing Zhu Chengxi's sincerity, Xiao Ruge smiled slightly.
"Mr. Zhu, this is too serious. Since you know you are wrong, just change it in the future. Don't be so outspoken again. This is just because I am easy to talk to. If you meet someone with a bad temper, I will beat you to death on the spot!"
“Ru Ge!”
"What are you talking about, little bitch?"
Old Mrs. Xiao was shocked by Xiao Ruge's words and wanted to stop her, but before she could say anything, Madam Zhu San started scolding her.
"You unruly little bitch, don't think you can be superior just because our Liu Lang apologizes to you! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself. How dare you..."
"Mom! Shut up!"
Zhu Chengxi was almost frightened to death by his mother's words.
He is still poisoned and is waiting for Xiao Ruge to give him the antidote to save his life!
What if what his mother said made Xiao Ruge unhappy, and there was no antidote, then wouldn’t he be finished?
So he hurriedly interrupted Mrs. Zhu San's words and bowed to Xiao Ruge again with an anxious look on his face.
"Second Miss Xiao, don't bother with my mother. She is just a woman in the back house and knows nothing!"
This sudden change made the faces of the people present change again.
Especially Mrs. Zhu San, she was helping her son, so why was she being criticized like this by her son?
She was so angry!
Xiao Ruge's face had changed at first, but when she saw Zhu Chengxi was so sensible, she snorted coldly: "Sixth Master Zhu, they say that a man who knows the current situation is a hero, and you are considered a hero among men!"
These words were a veiled praise but a hidden criticism, and Mrs. Zhu San's face turned even uglier after hearing them.
But Zhu Chengxi didn't care. He smiled apologetically and said, "Then Miss Xiao Er accepted my apology?"
Xiao Ruge waved her hand and said, "You guys can go back. Our relationship is now written off."
"That, that..."
Zhu Chengxi wanted to say, if you forgive me, please give me the antidote!
But there were so many people here, and he couldn't say it directly. He could only scratch his head and face, feeling extremely anxious.
Xiao Ruge found it amusing and handed a cup of tea to Zhu Chengxi.
"My great-aunt's tea is very good. Would you like to try it, Young Master?"
When Zhu Chengxi saw the teacup handed to him, he took it and drank it up in one gulp as if he had seen some nectar.
When he saw the pill at the bottom of the bowl, he tilted his head back and put it into his mouth.
As soon as he took the pill, Zhu Chengxi felt relieved.
Everyone was amazed by this scene, and those who didn’t know really thought it was some kind of fine tea.
Mrs. Zhu San was puzzled and also picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Isn’t this just ordinary Longjing tea before the rain? The one we usually drink at home is Yunding Hancui, which is the good tea!
Seeing her son's embarrassing appearance, Mrs. Zhu San no longer wanted to stay here.
Anyway, Xiao Ruge accepted the apology. She snorted coldly and left the Xiao Mansion with Zhu Chengxi.
As soon as the Zhu family members left, the Third Madam immediately smiled and said to Xiao Ruge, "Ruge is really amazing. Zhu Liulang is a fearless person. Even Old Madam Zhu can't control him. I didn't expect that you could control him so well!"
"You're joking, Aunt San. He's the only one who's in the wrong."
Xiao Ruge rummaged through the jewelry sent by the Zhu family, picked out a pair of pearl earrings as big as the tip of her index finger, and placed them in the hands of the Third Lady.
"My fifth sister came of age two months ago. At that time, I had not yet returned to the capital, and I did not give her any gifts. Now, this pair of earrings can be regarded as her coming-of-age gift!"
"Oh, this is too valuable. How can that girl afford it?"
The third lady smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. Although she said that, she did not refuse.
"Qianqian said she wanted to come and talk to you the other day, but she hasn't been feeling well these past two days, and she didn't want to pass on her illness to you, so she didn't come. Tomorrow, I'll ask Qianqian to go play with you!"
"Okay, I also want to talk more with my fifth sister!"
Xiao Ruge answered fluently, and after talking to the Third Madam, she took the Zhu family's apology gifts back to her own yard.
In this scene, apart from giving a pair of earrings to the girl from the third room, even Old Lady Xiao didn't get any benefits. Old Lady Xiao and Xiao Mingyue were so angry that they glared at the third wife with black eyes.
But the third wife is the daughter of Lord Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Both her official position and status are much higher than those of the Xiao family.
In the end, the few people could only stare and watch the third lady leave happily.
As for why Xiao Ruge is so good to the third room, it is because when she married Lu Yu in her previous life, Xiao Qianqian once advised her that Lu Yu was not a good man and asked her to think carefully.
But at that time, she had been bullied by Old Lady Xiao and had no choice but to choose Lu Yu.
Later, she was killed, and it was this fifth sister and her honest fifth brother-in-law who collected her body at night.
At that time, she still had a trace of her soul floating in the air, and she didn't understand why this not-so-familiar fifth sister was so kind to her.
Later, in front of her grave, Xiao Qianqian mentioned that she was bullied when she was young and she was the one who stepped forward to help. Only then did she understand the reason.
Thinking of the past, Xiao Ruge sighed.
The incident Xiao Qianqian was talking about probably happened when they were five or six years old.
At that time, the Xiao family had already split up, and General Xiao took her to visit the Xiao Mansion, where they happened to see Xiao Mingyue and several other sisters bullying Xiao Qianqian.
Then she saw injustice and helped Xiao Qianqian a little.
I didn't expect that such a small favor would make this little girl remember it for so long.
This was also one of the few kindnesses she felt in the Xiao Mansion in her previous life.
However, Xiao Qianqian had been in poor health since childhood, and fell ill every other day. It was said that it was caused by deficiencies in her womb.
She thought that she would wait for Xiao Qianqian to come over tomorrow and take a look for her.
If she was really born with deficiencies, she would take good care of her and not let her stay bedridden like she did in her previous life.
Because she was going to attend the garden party hosted by the Duke's wife, Xiao Mingyue started dressing up early in the morning.
The maid Chunzhi came in with snacks, looking a little unhappy.
Xiao Mingyue glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter? Who offended you when you went out?"
"What did the young lady say? Of course it was Doukou from the Fifth Young Lady's room. I was the one who went there first, but she snatched the glutinous rice and red bean paste cake and said she wanted to follow the Fifth Young Lady to see the Second Young Lady. Bah! Such a cheap thing, always changing her attitude according to the situation!"
Xiao Ruge is now the most powerful person in the Xiao family, and the third branch is trying to curry favor with her, which naturally makes the second branch uncomfortable.
Listening to Chunzhi's complaints, Xiao Mingyue snorted coldly, inserted a plum blossom hairpin into her hair, and said softly: "Don't worry about them, they are just sickly, and they won't achieve anything in the future."
