Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Xiao Qianqian married a businessman in her previous life. Although her family was rich, they were of the lowest status.

Xiao Mingyue was dressed up beautifully and went to pay her respects to Old Madam Xiao, and then they all went to the Duke's Mansion together.

As for why Xiao Ruge and Xiao Qianqian were not brought along, one reason was because Old Madam Xiao didn't want to bring them along.

The other one was in poor health and would get out of breath after walking a few steps outside. Old Mrs. Xiao thought it was troublesome and didn't plan to take him with her at all.

The Third Madam also knew that Old Lady Xiao favored the Second Wife. If it weren't for her connections in her family, the Third Wife would probably not even have a position in the Xiao Mansion.

Now the third wife is just holding her breath, waiting to see who will have the last laugh.

She thought Xiao Ruge was a nice little girl, so she got up early and asked Xiao Qianqian to go to Xiao Ruge's yard.

In Ruyi Garden, the two little girls were very happy to see each other.

Although Xiao Qianqian was young back then, she was precocious and always remembered how good Xiao Ruge was to her!

Today I brought a handkerchief that I embroidered myself.

"I don't know what pattern Second Sister likes, so I decided to embroider this azalea on my own. I hope Second Sister won't dislike it!"

Because she seldom goes out, Xiao Qianqian has very fair skin. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she has a kind of gentle and delicate beauty.

"This flower embroidery is so beautiful, I don't have such dexterity!"

Xiao Ruge couldn't let go of the handkerchief.

Although she is good at martial arts and strategy, she just can't embroider.

In her previous life, after marrying Lu Yu, she had thought about embroidering a purse or something for him, but her ten fingers were all full of holes, so she failed to complete the embroidery.

From that time on, Xiao Ruge knew that she had no talent in this area at all, so she decided not to waste her efforts.

The two sisters chatted and laughed, and neither of them mentioned the garden party, as if it had never happened.

While talking to Xiao Qianqian, Xiao Ruge secretly took her pulse. After finding out her physical condition, he had a plan in mind.

The two sisters were chatting happily here, but Old Lady Xiao and others who went to attend the garden party looked unhappy.

There was no other reason, it was just because Xiao Ruge had been too in the spotlight these past two days. As soon as they came in, one by one they asked why Xiao Ruge didn't come.

"Ruge has just arrived in Kyoto and is not familiar with the rules for noble ladies in the capital. I have hired a nanny to learn the rules at home these past two days!"

No matter what, Madam Zhu had lost face a few days ago. Madam Xiao was afraid that Madam Zhu would settle the score with her later, so she naturally pushed all the blame onto Xiao Ruge in public.

"I think Miss Xiao Er is straightforward and adorable!"

The achievements of the Duke's Mansion were also won through fighting on the field. The Duke's wife's family was also a military family, so she liked people like Xiao Ruge who were straightforward.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao gave two dry laughs.

Xiao Mingyue, on the other hand, rolled her eyes after hearing this and smiled, "Second sister is a bit blunt, but she has a good heart. We sisters also speak directly like this at home, and we are used to it."

What she said was secretly saying that Xiao Ruge was outspoken. The ladies in the capital city all wished they had eight hundred minds, so how could they not understand the meaning behind her words?

Everyone looked at Xiao Mingyue without saying anything, and the scene suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Xiao Mingyue had not expected this result. She felt a little embarrassed being stared at by everyone. Finally, Old Madam Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her behind her.

"They are sisters who have a good relationship. They are used to playing around at home, so they don't speak too much. I hope you ladies will forgive me."

At this time, the Duke's wife's acquaintance, the wife of the Marquis Yongyi, spoke lightly.

"Madam Xiao, I'm not saying anything, but Xiao Ruge is the orphan of General Xiao's family. Even though you separated the family a long time ago, you can't be too harsh on Xiao Ruge!"

These words were very serious, and scared Old Mrs. Xiao so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ever since Ruge was brought back to the Xiao family, we have always treated her well and never harshly. I wonder where Madam got this from?"

"Madam Xiao, please speak and act according to your conscience. When I woke up this morning, I heard my servants talking about how you treated Xiao Ruge harshly, making her live in a remote courtyard, and how her food, clothing and other expenses were not even as good as those of a servant!"

General Zhenyuan Zhao Qing once served under General Xiao. Later, with the promotion of the old general and his own efforts, he gradually gained a place in the army.

Zhao Qing always remembered this favor, and as his wife, Yao, she was naturally very grateful to General Xiao.

Now, of course he was unhappy when he heard that someone was bullying his only granddaughter.

Because the Duke was of a military family, most of the guests invited today were family members of military generals. For a while, everyone was talking at once, and Old Madam Xiao's face became very ugly.

In the eyes of these military generals' families, you, Old Madam Xiao, only brought Fourth Miss Xiao today, but not Second Miss Xiao, which means you are making things difficult for her again!

"Oh my, this is really unfair! How did our old lady treat Xiao Ruge harshly? She eats the best food and uses the best things every day. Even our second room can't compare to her! Who is this bastard who is gossiping about her outside? If I find out, I will tear her mouth to pieces!"

The first to refute was the second wife, who cried and protested her injustice.

Although Old Lady Xiao was picked out, everyone looked down on her even more.

Xiao Mingyue just felt that this mother brought shame to her.

Is there anything that can't be said in a nice way? Why do you have to curse like a shrew?

"Alright, alright, don't complain here, we are just concerned."

The Duke's wife spoke to smooth things over, and at the same time glanced at Old Madam Xiao, saying, "General Xiao's family sacrificed their lives for the country, and only Ruge is left in the family. Even the emperor values ​​this orphan very much!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was shocked when she heard this. She had originally wanted to seize Xiao Ruge's property, but it seems that she can't do anything for the time being.

She smiled guiltily at the Duke's wife and nodded, "Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will definitely take good care of Ruge."

After the garden party, it was like a criticism meeting, with everyone criticizing the Xiao family.

After the garden party was over, Old Lady Xiao sat in the carriage with a gloomy face. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

She said to Aunt Li beside her: "Find someone to check and see what's going on!"

Nanny Li responded and went back to find her son Wang Da and asked him to find out if there were any rumors about the Xiao family recently.

The fastest place to get information is teahouses and brothels.

The first place Wang Da went to was Mingxiang Teahouse.

This is the largest teahouse in the capital. In addition to scholars and poets who love to come here, there are also some peddlers and hawkers. It is the best place to get news.
