"As long as you can help me get revenge, my life belongs to His Highness the Seventh Prince and Miss Xiao Er!"

Xiao Ruge looked at Bai Song and asked him to take Feng Ziqing to Mr. Sun's farm first so that no one would discover them.

When Feng Ziqing was about to leave, Xiao Ruge stopped him, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know why Lu Yu wants to help you?"

"He wanted to use me to kill Mu Bo."

Although he didn't know what grudge Lu Yu had with Mu Bo, Feng Ziqing was certain of this. He could feel from Lu Yu that every time he mentioned Mu Bo, there was always a hint of murderous aura in Lu Yu.

"Then do you know why he wanted to kill Mu Bo?"

This time, Feng Ziqing shook his head honestly, waiting for Xiao Ruge to answer his questions.

"Because he is the emperor's fifth son!"

Xiao Ruge said an explosive piece of information. Not only Feng Ziqing was stunned, but even Mu Gu, who knew Lu Yu's identity, was stunned.

After Feng Ziqing left, Mu Gu pulled Xiao Ruge into the carriage back to the Xiao family, frowned and asked her: "If Lu Yu is the fifth son, then what about Mu Bai?"

Xiao Ruge chuckled, lifted the curtain on the window, and looked at Jixiang Hutong getting farther and farther away behind her; her voice was a little vague.

"Haven't you ever thought that Mu Bo might not be the emperor's child?"

These words shocked Mu Gu even more. His eyes almost popped out of his head and his face was full of disbelief.

It took Mu Gu a long time to digest this news. When the carriage was about to arrive at the Xiao family, he asked, "Then, who is Mu Bo's biological father?"

Xiao Ruge smiled, turned to meet his gaze, and asked gently, "Who do you think Rong Fei is usually close to?"

Mu Gu had been wondering what Xiao Ruge meant by this sentence. It was not until the third day that he thought of someone and hurriedly ran to Xiao Ruge to verify it.

"Is it the one from Wuji Palace?"

Because Concubine Rong seldom left the palace, the only people she could often meet in the palace, besides the eunuchs and guards, was Taoist Qingxu from Wuji Palace.

Moreover, he thought about it carefully last night and found that Mu Bo looked somewhat similar to Taoist Qingxu, but Taoist Qingxu always had a beard, so it was not very visible.

In fact, when Mu Gu thought that it might be Taoist Qingxu, he was completely stunned.

But this person is the most likely one.

Who says that Taoists cannot have seven emotions and six desires?

Xiao Ruge looked at him with appreciation and said nothing, but Mu Gu already knew that he had guessed correctly.

Snow fell one after another in the capital. Because of the snow, Xiao Ruge seldom went out and her mood became worse and worse.

Because the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the anniversary of General Xiao's death, she is still in mourning. After this year, it will be three years, which is why she postponed her marriage before.

After two more snowfalls, Sun Yan sent back news from Qizhou that the price of charcoal in Qizhou was getting more and more expensive. Even the worst charcoal had risen to fifty cents per catty, not to mention silver thread charcoal, which was a price that ordinary people would never dare to imagine in their lifetime.

The price of rice also rose a little, but not as much as that of charcoal. In his letter, he asked whether he should sell some of the charcoal and rice.

Xiao Ruge thought about it and asked him to give one third of the food first. At the same time, he sent a message to Old Man Sun and asked him to find someone to transport the remaining food and charcoal to Qizhou.

She also asked someone to tell Mu Gu the news, and Mu Gu had already sent the food and charcoal to Qizhou, so Xiao Ruge didn't have to worry about it at all.

Time came to the time when Xiao Mingyue became a monk.

Early in the morning, the entire Xiao Mansion became busy. Even Xiao Ruge dressed up and went to Xiao Mingyue's yard before dawn.

It is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy. Today, Xiao Mingyue changed her usual resentful look and shyly let Nanny Quanfu help her wash and dress up.

After having her face opened and powdered, her skin became as smooth and white as a freshly peeled egg.

Xiao Ruge stood behind and watched quietly, with a smile on her face, but her thoughts were drifting away.

In her previous life, Xiao Mingyue was also married shyly and timidly to the Chengyang Marquis Mansion. She thought it was a blessed home, but who knew it was actually a pit of fire.

When she had the chance to do it again, she had learned her lesson, but the husband she chose for herself was still not very good.

In her previous life, when Xiao Mingyue was given poisoned wine, Lu Yu did not show up. Now that she has been reborn, no one knows what she is thinking, but she still chooses the ruthless, mean and ungrateful Lu Yu.

All I can say is that it’s a two-way fight!

"My second sister is here! Come and sit down!"

Just when Xiao Ruge was thinking about something, Xiao Mingyue noticed her and immediately greeted her with a smile.

Perhaps because she was about to marry Lu Yu, Xiao Mingyue was in a good mood, and her tone became much softer when she spoke to Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge smiled and gave Bai Zhi a look, and Bai Zhi immediately stepped forward and placed a brocade box in her hand on the table.

"Here is a ruby ​​headpiece. It is used to add to the fourth sister's makeup, and also to wish the fourth sister and the fourth brother-in-law a long and loving marriage."

As the saying goes: Don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Since Xiao Mingyue is willing to temporarily make peace, she is willing to give him some face.

Xu happened to come in from outside at this time. Seeing Xiao Ruge was there, she immediately spoke to her with a smile.

"It's not even daybreak yet, Ruge, why are you up so early? We don't need you here, so you should go back and get some sleep. You are in the growth stage now, and it's not good to miss out on sleep!"

Ever since Xiao Ruge got engaged to Mu Gu, everyone in the Xiao family has been fawning on her. Even Xiao Mingzhi and Xu, who always disliked her, have changed their attitude towards her.

Not to mention Old Madam Xiao, who is good at saving face, she is almost worshipping Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Mingyue felt uncomfortable seeing Xu's fawning attitude towards Xiao Ruge, and the smile on her face faded a little. But then she thought, today is her big day, there is no need to make herself unhappy because of these things.

So she snorted and pretended not to see it.

Xiao Ruge secretly glanced at Xiao Mingyue, who was secretly angry, and pointed at the headgear on the table with a smile.

"When my fourth sister gets married, I, as her elder sister, must come and give her some dowry."

After hearing this, Xu immediately opened the brocade box and saw that inside was a set of exquisite ruby-inlaid jewelry. She exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my! This ruby ​​looks crystal clear, the cutting is mirror-like and neat, and the filigree crabapple flowers are also delicate. You can tell at a glance that the craftsman has put in a lot of hard work!"

Xu praised the headgear highly. Xiao Ruge didn't want to listen any more. After Xu praised it a few more times, she found an excuse to leave.

As soon as she left, Xiao Mingyue snorted coldly, "Today is my wedding day, why do you have to curry favor with Xiao Ruge? After I marry Brother Yu, I will definitely be better than Xiao Ruge, you don't have to be so humble to her!"

Xu closed the brocade box and curled her lips, "It's not that I look down on Lu Yu, it's just that he is so much worse than our family!"
