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

Sure enough, he had just sat there for a while when he heard what he wanted to hear.

"Have you heard? The Xiao family took Xiao Ruge home, claiming to be taking care of her, but the truth is not like that at all!"

"What do you mean? Aren't they all from the same clan? I heard that they are not even five generations apart, so they are considered close relatives. Is there something unknown here?"

The people at the next table were talking about this matter, and Wang Da immediately pricked up his ears when he heard it.

"You don't know that although General Xiao died for his country, he left behind a lot of property. You say that Miss Xiao is an orphan, and she married into the Xiao family with so much property, how can it be good?"

"Are you saying that the reason why the Xiao family took the second Miss Xiao back was because of the family property?"

"Who can say for sure? You can only know a person's face but not his heart!"

After hearing this, Wang Da frowned more and more, stopped drinking his tea, threw down a piece of silver and hurried out.

In the private room on the second floor, Mu Gu and Duanmu Ling were drinking tea and listening to people's discussions in the lobby.

"Seventh Young Master, tell me, who spread this rumor?"

Duanmu Ling waved his folding fan twice and looked at the person opposite him.

Mu Gu was sipping tea and snorted when he heard this. "It's hard to say. Maybe it's the Zhu family. Didn't the two families have a bad quarrel before? It's only natural that they are upset by saying some dirty laundry about the Xiao family."

However, he felt in his heart that this was most likely not done by the Chengyang Marquisate.

The beautiful figure of Xiao Ruge suddenly flashed through his mind, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Duanmu Ling came closer, covered his face slightly with his folding fan, and said softly: "I think this matter has something to do with Miss Xiao Er!"

"Oh? What do you say?"

Mu Gu remained calm.

"Think about it, who will be the biggest beneficiary if this matter is spread? It must be Miss Xiao Er. As for the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, they hate Miss Xiao Er. Even if they want to throw dirty water, they should throw it on Miss Xiao Er."

The smile on Mu Gu's face widened, and he raised the teacup to signal Duanmu Ling, "This has nothing to do with us. Have some tea."

……

After Wang Da left the teahouse, he hurried back home to report the matter to Old Lady Xiao.

When passing through an alley, I suddenly heard a few children singing a ballad inside.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but when the song reached his ears, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"The same root, the north and south of the sky, the glory of the heart is resentful, the breath wins a million..."

He paused, walked into the alley, grabbed a big kid and asked, "Who taught you this song?"

Several children were frightened by him, and the younger ones started crying. Only the child who was caught by Wang Da remained calm.

But there was also a look of fear in his eyes.

Wang Da had already lost his patience, and he glared at her and shouted, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"Yes, it's a little brother."

"Hey! What are you doing? Let go of my son!"

At this time, a man had heard the children crying and came out of his house. When he saw Wang Da holding his son's clothes, he immediately ran over angrily.

Wang Da quickly let go, turned around and ran out of the alley quickly, disappearing into the crowd in a few seconds.

The man didn't catch the person, so he spat and went back to coax his son.

Wang Da ran back to the Xiao Mansion panting, walked all the way into Ronghui Hall, knelt on the ground and told Old Madam Xiao what he had heard from outside.

He also recited the nursery rhyme. Old Mrs. Xiao looked unhappy after hearing it. She squinted her eyes while reciting the nursery rhyme.

"Xiao Xiao has the same origin..."

Isn't this an allusion to General Xiao and the current Xiao family?

"Jiaojiao Nanbeitian..."

This refers to the two daughters of the Xiao family, one in heaven and one in hell?

“Rong Hui…”

It refers to his own Ronghui Hall!

As for the last sentence, it is easier to understand. It means that the Xiao family is colluding with each other to seize Xiao Ruge's property!

Thinking of this, Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly and put the teacup in her hand hard on the table, making a dull "dong" sound.

"Go, call the second young lady over. I want to ask her why she is dissatisfied with our Xiao family. Why would she spread such rumors?"

Although Old Mrs. Xiao was timid, she was not stupid. She immediately guessed that it was probably Xiao Ruge's doing.

She had originally intended to fight for Xiao Ruge's family property. Now that it was made public, she felt guilty and angry.

Xiao Ruge was flipping through a medical book, thinking about making some medicinal food for Xiao Qianqian, when Nanny Qian came over with a stern face.

When she heard that Old Lady Xiao called her, she immediately knew why.

He sneered in his heart, put down the medical book, and took Bai Zhi to Ronghui Hall.

At this time, many people were already sitting in Ronghui Hall. Except for Old Madam Xiao, everyone from the second and third rooms had come.

Second Madam Xu pulled her handkerchief and scolded Xiao Ruge with anger on her face.

"I knew that the little bitch had bad intentions. She offended Madam Zhu the last time she went to Chengyang Marquis's Mansion, and now she wants to ruin the reputation of our Xiao family!"

Although Xiao Mingyue was not sure whether Xiao Ruge did it, she would naturally not let go of anything that could put the blame on her.

"Second sister is really too much. We took her back because we felt sorry for her being alone outside. We didn't expect that she would slander the Xiao family like this!"

Old Madam Xiao lowered her eyes and listened to what Xu and Xiao Mingyue said, turning a string of sandalwood beads in her hand. Although she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she was very unhappy.

Seeing that the old lady didn't scold her, Xu spoke even more excitedly.

"In my opinion, she is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!"

"I don't like what you said, sister-in-law. The matter hasn't been investigated thoroughly yet. How can you conclude that it was Ruge who spread the rumor?"

Lin from the third room was unhappy. She glared at Xu while waving her round fan.

"Who else could be the one who dislikes our family except Xiao Ruge? Third sister-in-law, you are not going to defend Xiao Ruge just because she gave the fifth girl a pair of earrings, right?"

Xu has always been brooding over the pair of earrings, and she feels a lump in her heart whenever she thinks about them.

"It's just a pair of earrings. Is it worth Second Aunt to worry about them so much? If you like them, I will give you a pair tomorrow."

Just as Xu and Lin were arguing, Xiao Ruge walked in with her skirt lifted.

A pair of dark eyes swept over Xu coldly, and the cold gaze pierced like a sharp arrow, scaring Xu so much that she immediately became speechless.

"Greetings to my great-aunt."

After scaring Mrs. Xu, Xiao Ruge bowed politely to Old Lady Xiao.

Old Madam Xiao immediately put on a smiling face and said kindly, "Ruge is here, come and sit down."

She reached out and patted the seat next to her, and Xiao Ruge immediately walked over and sat next to her.

Then he asked curiously, "I wonder if my great-aunt asked Ruge to come over. What instructions did she have?"

Old Mrs. Xiao sighed, "It's nothing serious, but there is something I want to ask you if you know anything?"
