"Look, they are all here. These people have been carefully trained. You can take them to the old house and use them!"

"Mother-in-law, there are quite a lot of people here. Are you just going to give them to Ruge?"

Xu was a short-sighted person. She only knew that Old Madam Xiao gave many servants to Xiao Ruge for nothing, but she never thought that Old Madam Xiao was going to plant spies in the Xiao family's old house.

So he felt a little distressed and wanted to speak up to remind her, but got a cold eye from Mrs. Xiao.

"What? Are you the boss of the Xiao family now? As a grandmother, you want to interfere even if I send a few servants to the younger generation?"

After being glared at by Old Lady Xiao, Xu immediately stopped and apologized with a smile.

"No, no, you misunderstood. I just thought that having so many servants would mean a lot of money. When Mingyue got married, she didn't bring so many servants as a dowry."

After all, she was still speaking up for her daughter. How could Mrs. Xiao not hear that?

"Okay, I know Mingyue's situation isn't easy either. Although the Lu family's house is a little small, it's easier to manage with more people. You can pick a few capable people and send them over later."

After getting Madam Xiao's consent, Xu was delighted and had already started thinking about which people she should send to her daughter.

Although Lu Yu was not her favorite son-in-law, he was still ambitious. Besides, Xiao Mingyue would be able to be the head of the family as soon as she got married, without the pressure of a mother-in-law. This made her feel quite comfortable.

After glaring at Xu who loved to fight for everything, Old Lady Xiao felt a little tired and increasingly doubted her own judgment in choosing a wife for her son.

Thinking of her second son's new concubine, Ms. Sun, she had to pay more attention to her because she was pregnant recently.

And most importantly, Aunt Sun is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and never likes to take advantage of others like Mrs. Xu.

Sometimes he never complains even when he is wronged. Even if I scold him the day before, he will still come to greet me with a smile the next day, which makes me feel happy.

Xiao Mingzhi has no son, only a daughter. This is what Old Lady Xiao cares about most. If Aunt Sun can give birth to a boy this time, he will be considered the eldest son of the second wife.

Although she was born out of wedlock, if she had a promising future, she wouldn't mind making Aunt Sun her equal wife.

Looking at Xu who was still complacent there, Old Lady Xiao felt more and more that he was shortsighted and not presentable enough.

After all, Xiao Ruge had lived in the Xiao family for several months. Plus, Mu Gu had sent a lot of betrothal gifts, so it would take some time to pack up. So Xiao Ruge decided to stay in Ruyi Garden first.

When the servants in Ruyi Garden heard that Xiao Ruge had taken their indentures from Old Madam Xiao, they were all terrified.

Now that they are still in the Xiao family, they have to go to Xiao Ruge to get the antidote every month. If they move to the General’s Mansion, won’t their lives be in danger?

When some people think of this, they become restless.

In the middle of the night, two servants and a fat-faced old woman secretly gathered together to discuss how to escape from Xiao Ruge's clutches.

"Madame Sun, please think of a solution! If we continue like this, we will all die at the hands of the Second Young Lady sooner or later!"

A very fair-skinned young servant looked at Madam Sun with a sad face. The other young servant looked about 60% similar to him, and it was obvious at first glance that they were brothers.

Seeing his brother speaking, the younger brother nodded hurriedly, looking at the silent Nanny Sun opposite with hope in his eyes.

"Before, I thought that Madams Gu and Kang were reliable, but who knew that they changed their hearts so quickly and only cared about the Second Young Miss. After all, we are from the Xiao family, and the Second Young Miss is not from the same family as us. If she takes us away, we will definitely suffer!"

"Yes, Mammy, we have to tell the old lady what's happening here as soon as possible!"

My brother also became anxious and reached out to pull Nanny Sun's sleeve.

Nanny Sun sighed, "Do you think I don't know? But we've all been poisoned by that little bitch. Without an antidote, we'll all die!"

"But if we follow the Second Miss to the General's Mansion, we will die! Instead of that, we might as well take the Second Miss along. At least we still have the old lady to make the decision."

"When the time comes, the old lady will put pressure on the second young lady. I don't believe she won't take out the antidote!"

"Yes, and Prince Bao often comes to see the Second Miss in the middle of the night. Just ask yourself, which good daughter would meet her lover in the middle of the night? If you tell anyone about this alone, the old lady will definitely not let the Second Miss have an easy time!"

Nanny Sun seemed to be persuaded by them. Her rat-like eyes turned back and forth. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, you two watch the door. I'll go find the old lady in the dark!"

The two brothers nodded repeatedly after hearing this. They opened the door quietly and after making sure that no one was outside, they filed towards the front door.

But just as they were about to open the door, a cold voice sounded from behind the three of them.

"It's late at night and very cold. Where are you three going?"

Bai Song, dressed in black, suddenly appeared behind the three people, scaring them.

"Oh my god, it's Guard Bai! Why are you standing behind someone so quietly? You really scared me to death!"

Nanny Sun was so scared that she slapped her chest, and the two brothers also looked very unhappy.

Bai Song ignored what Nanny Sun said. He looked up and down at the three people with his eagle-like eyes, and his whole body was cold.

"You want to go out?"

The three people who were about to file a complaint were caught red-handed and naturally would not admit it.

Madam Sun laughed dryly, "It's the two boys' turn to guard the gate tonight, and I was afraid they would be lazy. What if a thief took advantage of the opportunity? I just came to take a look. I didn't want to go out. I didn't want to."

"Yes, yes, yes, Madam Sun is here to check."

After hearing the excuse that Nanny Sun had made, the two brothers nodded hurriedly. However, the fear on their faces betrayed them. They knew at a glance that things were definitely not that simple.

Bai Song sneered, "If there really are thieves coming, Bai Yang and I will naturally deal with them. How can an old woman like you get involved?"

At this point, he glanced at the three people with a cold gaze, and finally sneered, "You seem to be very guilty. Did you do something bad and I found out?"

"Guardian Bai, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Which eye of yours saw that we were guilty?"

Hearing Bai Yang say this, Nanny Sun immediately retorted in a shrill voice.

But she was like this, and Bai Song was sure of what she was thinking.

Then the candlelight in the main room lit up. Bai Zhi walked out with an unhappy look on her face. She glared at Nanny Sun, then looked at Bai Song and asked, "What happened?"

"The three of them were trying to sneak out, but I caught them red-handed!"

Bai Song pointed at the three people and spoke briefly.
