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

The sudden knock on the door startled both Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu.

Xiao Ruge immediately climbed up from Mu Gu in a panic, quickly moved back a few steps, and tidied up her clothes that were messed up by Xiao Ruge.

Mu Gu didn't expect that someone would come to his house at this time. He had clearly told the servants of the mansion not to come into the inner courtyard. But his good thing was ruined like this, and Mu Gu's back teeth were about to break.

There was another knock on the door, followed by the voice of the housekeeper.

"Your Majesty, Minister Yang would like to come visit you and your wife."

Hearing this name, Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge looked at each other. At that time, it was indeed Mu Gu who told Minister Yang the news that Xiao Mingyue was colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty, but after all, they knew very little about this person, and they didn't know whether he was a good person or not.

But not seeing him is obviously not an option.

Still need to proceed with caution.

Mu Gu straightened his wrinkled robe, stood up and responded towards the door.

"Uncle Wang, please ask Minister Yang to wait in the hall. My wife and I will be here soon."

Only after the butler responded and his footsteps gradually faded away did Mu Gu turn around and pull up Xiao Ruge who was sitting in front of the window.

"Shall we go meet for a while?"

Xiao Ruge thought that Minister Yang should indeed be met. If nothing else, at least he could find out about Xiao Mingyue's situation.

It’s good to make plans for the future.

Then Xiao Ruge looked up at Mu Gu and nodded slowly.

Mu Gu slightly curled the corners of his mouth, then raised his hands to hug Xiao Ruge and pushed the door open to go out.

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu did not let Minister Yang wait too long, but Mu Gu was a little upset because Xiao Ruge's attempt to throw herself into his arms was interrupted. He frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy.

Minister Yang was quite perceptive. He could tell at a glance that Mu Gu was probably upset because he had disturbed the young couple's love conversation. For a moment, he felt that young people were still passionate.

You may be polite, but you still have to show proper courtesy.

"Minister Yang has been waiting for a long time."

Since Mu Gu was born, his mother was murdered by the imperial concubines in the harem. It was at that time that Mu Gu completely lost his position in the eyes of Emperor Dalong. He had no maids to serve him, no teachers to teach him knowledge, and no one told him how to behave in the world.

But after all, some education is still deeply engraved in our bones.

Although Mu Gu had an unruly and undisciplined personality and did not look like a son of a royal family, he still knew the most basic manners towards others.

Minister Yang had always heard of Mu Gu, the neglected prince, but since no one cared, he naturally knew very little about him. Before coming to the prince's mansion, Minister Yang was still worried about how to sit down and have a good conversation with him if Mu Gu was an unreasonable person.

What he saw today was beyond his expectations. The person in front of him seemed to be quite profound and majestic.

"Your Majesty, it's alright. I just arrived not long ago. The main reason I came here is to thank you and your wife for not letting me take the wrong path and not make any mistakes."

Minister Yang went on to speak, and bowed to Mu Gu.

"Minister Yang, there is no need to be so polite. I have also heard in the palace that you have done many good things that benefit the country and the people. You are a good official and should have a long career. This is just a small favor."

Mu Gu nodded slowly, gestured to Minister Yang, and then took Xiao Ruge to the main seat and sat down.

After seeing Minister Yang take his seat, Mu Gu asked him the purpose of his visit.

"I wonder why Minister Yang came to see me this time?"

"Your Majesty, I am here because of Xiao Mingyue."

Xiao Ruge's heart skipped a beat and she tightened her grip on Mu Gu's hand. She had also heard about Minister Yang's intelligence, who was meticulous and had a strong sense of perception.

Mu Gu looked calm, still with a faint smile on his face. He quietly patted Xiao Ruge's hand under his robe to calm the emotions of the people around him.

"Oh? Then could you please tell me what it is specifically about, Minister Yang?"

Minister Yang put down the teacup in his hand and carefully observed the expressions of the two people in front of him. There seemed to be nothing unusual, so he spoke.

"This time, I have two questions, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to answer them."

Mu Gu raised his eyebrows and gestured to Minister Yang to speak directly.

Seeing that Mu Gu did not resist, Minister Yang was no longer polite.

"The first thing I want to do is to ask the prince whether he can provide more clues to the Dali Temple. Xiao Mingyue's case of the remnants of the former Stone Dynasty cannot be completely convicted."

Mu Gu also lowered his head and thought seriously.

"There are no clues for now, but if we find any, I will have someone inform Minister Yang."

There is nothing wrong with this response, and it is exactly what Minister Yang meant.

Xiao Ruge nervously watched the conversation between the two people in front of her. She was actually very nervous. But with Mu Gu's comforting presence beside her, she felt relieved. From the outside, she couldn't tell anything was wrong.

Minister Yang nodded and then said the next sentence.

"And the second thing is about Lu Yu's identity."

This question from Minister Yang was within Mu Gu's expectations. Mu Gu nodded and motioned for Minister Yang to elaborate, and the latter spoke slowly.

"According to what I know, Xiao Mingyue is your wife's cousin. When Xiao Mingyue came to me, she also told me that the child in my belly must be the emperor's grandson."

"I also took a quick look and found that the baby in Xiao Mingyue's belly is probably six or seven months old."

"If Lu Yu is really the prince as she said, then the baby in her belly must be kept."

Confirming the identity of the prince is not an easy matter. If something goes wrong, the whole family will be executed. Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu can understand each other's thoughts without having to communicate.

They could neither confirm nor deny whether Lu Yu was a prince, so the best way was to play it safe.

"Minister Yang."

Xiao Ruge, who had been silent due to nervousness, had to speak up now. After all, Minister Yang's question was directed at her, and she couldn't keep avoiding these things and let Mu Gu deal with them alone.

Minister Yang saw that Xiao Ruge had been silent and thought that Xiao Ruge was just like that and didn't want to communicate with others. When Xiao Ruge spoke to him, he was a little surprised, but he still turned around and looked at Xiao Ruge seriously, giving her enough respect.

"Ma'am, please speak."

Xiao Ruge straightened her expression and slowly opened her mouth.

"As the Minister said, Xiao Mingyue and I are indeed cousins. Xiao Mingyue is my cousin, but since I left the Xiao family and severed our relationship with them a few years ago, we have had almost no contact."

"I know very little about Xiao Mingyue's affairs."

"So I really don't know whether Xiao Mingyue's husband Lu Yu is a prince, or whether the baby in her belly is a grandson of the emperor."
