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

After telling Ao Qing why the two of them were here, he looked at the old man next to Ao Qing and asked, "Is this my uncle's friend?"

"Yes, let me introduce him to you. He is the son of an old friend and has a very distinguished status!"

When introducing Mu Gu, Ao Qing deliberately spoke the last sentence with a heavy tone. The old man next to him looked at Mu Gu in surprise.

Ao Qing's current status is no ordinary one. The only person he can call very noble is the one in the palace, right?

But the man in the palace is already old, and this one’s age doesn’t match, so he can only be the prince!

Thinking of the fact that the emperor has several sons, there are now three most capable ones. One is the third prince, who is now in the northern border, and the fifth prince has also gone to the northwest.

The only one who has so much leisure time to go out and play with the girl he likes is the seventh prince, Prince Bao!

Thinking of this, a hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he wanted to salute, but he felt that they came in disguise and certainly didn't want people to know their true identities, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing his friend so reserved, Ao Qing couldn't help laughing, then pointed at his friend and said, "This is my former classmate, his last name is Qi, you can just call him Uncle Qi."

"Don't dare!"

Old Man Qi waved his hands hurriedly.

He thought that Ao Qing was always setting traps for him. If he really responded to this call of old man, he would die without knowing how he died!

Seeing the panicked look on old man Qi's face, Mu Gu couldn't help but lower his eyes and laughed. Then he looked at the little girl in Xiao Ruge's arms and asked, "Is this the old man's granddaughter?"

"Yes."

"How old is this year?"

"Three and a half years old."

It was similar to what Mu Gu guessed, the little girl was only about three or four years old, which also explained why Ao Qing appeared here.

The garden was huge, with intricate paths and numerous strange rocks. There was almost a scene every three steps and a garden every five steps. If that weirdo really came to steal the children, it would be a perfect place to hide.

Also because the garden is too big, it is estimated that Ao Qing personally brought people to guard it here.

Ao Qing chatted with Mu Gu for a few more words before leaving with Old Man Qi and the little girl.

At noon, Ao Qing came over and had lunch with the two of them. When he mentioned that weirdo, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Last time, we found a cave in the valley near Guanyin Temple. Judging from the situation in the cave, I'm afraid he kidnapped more than one or two children. I also found some medicinal herbs. After the doctor identified them, he said they can replenish qi and blood, but the effect is much weaker than normal herbs."

Xiao Ruge fell into deep thought after hearing this, "Medicinal herbs to replenish qi and blood? Is it because that weirdo was injured?"

Ao Qing shook his head. "No, there is no other medicine for healing in the cave."

"He wants to replenish his qi and blood, but the medicinal effects of the herbs are not strong. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Mu Gu also stroked his chin, puzzled, and finally Xiao Ruge made a bold guess.

"Could those herbs be for the children? Children have weak constitutions, so they can't take too much tonic. And most of the children in the countryside haven't eaten anything good, so their Qi and blood are definitely not as good as those of children from wealthy families, so that person would get herbs to nourish these children."

After listening to this, the two thought about it and felt that this might really be the case.

"Did he capture these children to sell them for money? If that's the case, it seems like there's no need to bother with this, right?"

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge and asked about the doubts in his heart.

At this moment, Xiao Ruge suddenly remembered what Pei Yun had told her before. A light bulb went off in her mind and an incredible idea emerged.

"I'm afraid he didn't capture the child to sell him for money. If it's really as I guessed, then this man is too vicious!"

A pair of beautiful eyes were filled with shock and anger, and at the same time a sense of absurdity flashed across them.

There are always a lot of crazy people in this world!

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Ao Qing frowned and looked at her with a probing look in his eyes.

Xiao Ruge glanced at him, then looked at Mu Gu, and then sighed, "I wonder if Lord Ao has ever heard of the fact that placenta can make people look young forever?"

Ao Qing frowned even more tightly, "Is this matter related to the missing child?"

Xiao Ruge nodded, "Someone told me before that recently someone has been asking about where there are women who are about to give birth. This person is asking about this so blatantly, I guess he won't touch the baby, what he really wants to find should be the placenta!"

"In ancient times, there were sorcerers who made elixirs to achieve immortality. Some of the ingredients in these recipes included placenta and the flesh and blood of a baby."

"what?"

Mu Gu immediately became furious when he heard this. He never expected that there would be someone who would do such a thing.

It’s fine if it’s just the placenta, but they actually use newborn babies as raw materials for alchemy. That’s simply insane!

Ao Qing was shocked and angry when he heard this. He originally thought that as long as he caught the person who stole the children, he could find the lost children back.

Now, after hearing what Xiao Ruge said, he suddenly felt that those children were probably in great danger.

"I just hope it's not what I think."

Xiao Ruge was also worried. If that was true, the world was so big, that person could just find a random place to hide, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for them to look for him.

Now I just hope that he can commit a crime in Muyang County and be caught by Ao Qing, otherwise Dalong will suffer a catastrophe!

Xiao Ruge's guess made everyone lose interest in playing, but since that person hadn't shown up yet, Ao Qing couldn't order anyone to withdraw and could only sit back and wait.

Because of this guess, Mu Gu also moved in with Xiao Ruge. He paid for the courtyard for half a month, thinking of doing his part.

As everyone was eagerly waiting, the man who kidnapped the child finally took action.

Because Ao Qing arranged double the number of staff in the other households, the guards in the garden seemed slack because the place was too big.

This man directly chose to attack Old Man Qi's granddaughter, and the action took place at night.

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu were sleeping soundly when they were awakened by a loud noise coming from far away.

Mu Gu stood up and quickly put on his clothes, told Xiao Ruge not to run around, and took Mo Yi to the source of the sound.

The rest of the people received orders to protect Xiao Ruge well.

But Xiao Ruge thought of Old Man Qi's little granddaughter, and she couldn't sit still in the room, so she went out of the yard with a sword in hand.

"Miss, let's go back quickly! The prince won't let you run around! Besides, it must be dangerous outside, you can't put yourself in danger!"

Bai Zhi was so anxious that she didn't even call her "Madam" anymore, and just called her "Miss".

Xiao Ruge did not stop walking. Not far away, there were some sparks of fire, accompanied by the sound of a child crying miserably. Xiao Ruge's heart sank when she heard it. It was the cry of old man Qi's granddaughter.
