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

"Do you want mother to call Ruge into the palace to persuade her?"

"No, mother, Ruge is a very stubborn person. If my son hadn't been so thick-skinned to get close to her, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had any contact until now."

"If you call her into the palace now, I'm afraid she will think you are using your status to pressure her."

Mu Gu quickly spoke out to stop him, fearing that if it caused Xiao Ruge to misunderstand, the situation would become irreversible.

Concubine Zhao also understood what her son said and couldn't help but sigh.

"What should we do? Ruge is a good kid. You two can't just stay like this forever, right?"

Mu Gu sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time!"

Mu Gu left the palace only after having lunch at Concubine Zhao's place. He had not yet figured out a solution to the issue between him and Xiao Ruge.

He was thinking of Xiao Ruge in his heart, so he asked Mo Yi to drive the carriage to the vicinity of the General's Mansion, but he did not get off the carriage. He just drove the carriage and looked at the gate of the General's Mansion from afar.

He came here just thinking that if Xiao Ruge went out, he could see her from afar to ease his pain of missing her.

But then he thought, there is no such coincidence in this world. He waited in the carriage until nightfall, but did not see any trace of Xiao Ruge.

I did see that during this period Bai Zhi and Bai Song went out for a while, and when they came back they bought a few sheep, apparently preparing to cook them for Xiao Ruge.

Watching someone driving the sheep to the back door, Mu Gu thought to himself that eating sheep is good, and mutton is the most nutritious, but not as good as venison.

Thinking of this, he raised his voice and asked Mo Yi to go back and prepare to go out hunting tomorrow. It would be best if he could hunt a deer and send it back to the General's Mansion.

However, I don’t know if Ruge will accept the gift I gave her?

What if she doesn't accept it?

Mu Gu was thinking about a lot of things and gradually fell asleep.

As for Xiao Ruge, she went to bed early after washing up. She had mutton soup in the evening, which was very warming and allowed her to sleep well all night.

The next day, after breakfast, she received a letter from Qiao Jun that she had sent back in an express mail from eight hundred miles away.

The letter described the current situation in the northern border. Although the Rongdi offensive was swift, General Yao responded calmly and nothing could be done about it for the time being.

Qiao Jun also said that after taking Xiao Ruge's medicine, his health has been getting better and better, and he is very grateful to her.

Xiao Ruge lit the letter in the charcoal brazier and watched it turn into ashes without writing back.

It would be better not to let others know about her relationship with Qiao Jun and Luo Sibao, otherwise it would only bring her trouble.

As soon as the letter paper was burned out, Xiaoshuang brought all the servants from the Xiao family to the yard.

Xiao Ruge held a hand warmer in his hand and glanced at everyone in the yard.

"You have been in the General's Mansion for a few days. How do you feel?"

She spoke as if she was chatting with a normal person, with a gentle expression on her face. For a moment, everyone in the yard was confused and had no idea what she was talking about.

Among these dozen people, except for the two maids Gu and Kang who had been secretly replaced by Mr. Sun, the rest were all from the Xiao family.

Among them, the main ones were a nanny named Wang and a manager named Li. Nanny Wang was in charge of seven maids.

Originally there was another girl named Xiaoshuang, but Xiaoshuang was later promoted by Xiao Ruge to serve him, so she only took care of the remaining seven little girls.

Manager Li has four servants under him, all of whom are not very old.

When Old Lady Xiao gave them the things, she specifically called the two of them to talk alone. After using threats and inducements, she wanted them to be her accomplices.

Nanny Wang was very willing to accept the benefits, but because she was poisoned by Xiao Ruge, she was very cautious in everything she did. She also secretly trained two little girls to obey her orders.

But Manager Li thought more.

She definitely couldn't go back to the Xiao family, after all, the indenture was still in Xiao Ruge's hands.

Although they were poisoned, after a period of observation, Xiao Ruge would ask someone to bring them the antidote on the day of every month.

Compared with Old Lady Xiao, Xiao Ruge is still very trustworthy.

Moreover, when working under Xiao Ruge, she is very tolerant as long as you don't talk too much.

So after hearing Xiao Ruge's question, he stood up and bowed to Xiao Ruge.

"To reply to the young lady, we are doing well, but we have been doing nothing for a while and we are feeling lazy. If this continues, I am afraid we will all become lazy bones. Please quickly arrange some work for us!"

"Yes, Manager Li said exactly what I wanted to say. Now that we are here to serve the Second Young Miss, how can we just sit there doing nothing? If we tell others about it, they will laugh at us!"

Nanny Wang was unwilling to be left behind and quickly responded with a smile.

Xiao Ruge smiled, drank a sip of the chrysanthemum tea that Bai Zhi had just brought, and said with a smile: "To be honest, there are indeed a lot of things to do in my general's mansion, but you are my great-aunt's people after all, so I still need to consider it carefully before employing you."

This is to tell everyone that I don’t trust you and I need to test you.

Manager Li said calmly, "Miss, our lives and fortunes are in your hands. These young people are single and have no family or job, so they are easy to manage."

"As for me and Nanny Wang, everyone in our family lives under the old lady's care. It's understandable that you don't trust us. As long as you tell me, you can test us in any way you want!"

Manager Li was actually buying a good girl for Xiao Ruge. While explaining his own assets, he also sold out Nanny Wang. This made Nanny Wang look very unhappy, and she glared at Manager Li fiercely.

Xiao Ruge saw everything and admired Manager Li very much.

"Butler Li is a sensible man."

"When Manager Li was with the old lady before, he was very popular. Now that he is in front of the second young lady, he is also able to please everyone. What a good trick!"

Nanny Wang was unwilling to be bought by Steward Li, so she immediately started to set a trap for him.

Although she has dug the pit, it depends on whether Xiao Ruge is willing to jump in.

But it was obvious that Xiao Ruge didn't want to fall into her trap. After hearing what she said, she ignored her and lowered her head to continue drinking tea.

No one responded. Nanny Wang smiled awkwardly, and the scene fell into silence until Xiao Ruge put down the teacup and spoke again.

"You don't have to play tricks on me. I called you here today just to ask you, are you willing to stay in the General's Mansion and continue to be loyal to me? Or do you want to leave?"

Hearing that they could leave, several people looked at each other. Manager Li was even more tempted, but he still remembered the poison that Xiao Ruge had given them.

So he asked, "If we choose to leave, are you really willing to let us go? Including giving us the antidote to remove the poison in our bodies?"
