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

Seeing their curious looks, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Who says men don’t like to talk about their wives’ gossips?

This is more exciting than a woman!

"I went to the street to get a drink the other day. Guess who I saw?"

At this time, someone at another table mentioned something new, which attracted the attention of everyone around him and they asked him who he met.

"He is a servant from General Xiao's mansion. He is wearing tattered clothes and is squatting on the roadside selling vegetables!"

"That's impossible, isn't it? He is from the old general's house, how could he be reduced to selling vegetables? Did you see it clearly?"

The other person didn't believe it and asked.

The man immediately became anxious and frowned, saying, "Of course not! You know, my cousin's house is not far from General Xiao's mansion. I have seen that servant several times!"

"Is this true? If he is from General Xiao's mansion, why would he sell vegetables?"

"I was curious too! So I asked, and it turned out that the Xiao family took over the affairs of General Xiao's mansion and sold off many of the old servants. I guess now the entire general's mansion has been replaced by people from the Xiao family!"

The people around sighed for a while after hearing this, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there still Xiao Ruge left in the old general's house? Is she willing to give up the old house?"

"Now Xiao Ruge lives in the Xiao family. She is just a little girl, so she can be manipulated by others!"

"Alas, this orphan is so pitiful. He doesn't even know who to turn to for support when he's being bullied!"

"Isn't it? You tell me, is Old Madam Xiao trying to wipe out the whole family by doing this?"

"I think it's very likely. There was a nursery rhyme that talked about this before! Look, now everything in the nursery rhyme has come true. I think Xiao Ruge will soon be kicked out of the house!"

As soon as this person said this, others immediately remembered the nursery rhyme that had been circulating a while ago. Some felt unfair for General Xiao, while others felt sorry for Xiao Ruge.

Little did they know that the poor Xiao Ruge they were talking about was sitting on the second floor, sipping tea leisurely and listening to their gossip about the Xiao family.

"Second Miss Xiao?"

At this time, a strange voice was heard. Xiao Ruge looked up and saw that it was the fifth prince Mu Bai.

He was wearing a cobalt blue uniform today, followed by two guards.

After being reborn, Xiao Ruge had never met Mu Bo, so she pretended to be a stranger and looked at Mu Bo, asking in confusion: "Who is this gentleman?"

"My surname is Mu."

Mu Bai only said his last name, but in the entire Dalong Dynasty, there was only one family in the capital with the last name Mu.

He carefully looked at Xiao Ruge's expression. When she heard his last name, she saluted him with a look of shock and fear on her face. Mu Bo raised the corner of his mouth with pride.

"Miss Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. Are you coming out for tea too?"

"Yes, I was bored at home, so I wanted to go out and relax."

Xiao Ruge lowered her eyes and acted as if she was worried about something.

Just at this moment, voices discussing the Xiao family were heard downstairs. Xiao Ruge immediately looked very sad, which made Mu Bo's heart moved.

He glanced downstairs and said to Xiao Ruge, "It's too noisy here. If Miss Xiao doesn't mind, I have a private room here. Can we go in and talk?"

Xiao Ruge blinked her eyes, suppressed the mist in her eyes, nodded slightly, and followed Mu Bo to the private room.

As soon as the two of them left, a figure gently lifted the bamboo curtain, and a pair of deep peach blossom eyes stared at Xiao Ruge's departing back.

This person is Mu Gu.

He came here with Mu Bo today and was also surprised when he saw Xiao Ruge.

Thinking that this person had followed Mu Bo, he suddenly felt a little worried.

He was not afraid that Xiao Ruge would be taken advantage of by Mu Bo. He was just worried that Mu Bo would use his status to coerce and bribe Xiao Ruge to surrender to him, so that Mu Bo would gain a lot of advantages in the battle for the throne.

"Mo Yi, help me do something."

After thinking for a while, Mu Gu called the secret guard beside him, whispered a few words in his ear, and told him to implement the plan after two quarters of an hour.

Mo nodded slightly, bowed and left.

Mu Gu came to the backyard of the teahouse, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he took a deep breath and climbed onto the roof.

He tiptoed to the private room that Mu Bo mentioned and gently removed a tile from above his head.

The faint sound of conversation in the private room immediately came out through the gap, and Mu Gu listened quietly.

"Miss Xiao, did something bad happen to you? Why do you look so sad?"

Mu Bo spoke softly, appearing to care about Xiao Ruge very much.

Xiao Ruge looked at him and opened her mouth to say something, but seemed to have some reservations, so she just lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"General Xiao fought for the Dalong Dynasty and is a role model for our generation. I am not satisfied with Second Miss Xiao. This prince has always admired General Xiao. If General Xiao were still alive, he would definitely feel distressed to see you like this now."

It has to be said that Mu Bo's words can easily make people let down their guard, but the person he met today was Xiao Ruge, so he might return empty-handed.

Everyone in the Mu family has a good appearance. If another woman were here today, she would definitely be fascinated by what he said just now.

Thinking of Mu Bo's ruthless appearance in his previous life, Xiao Ruge calmed down.

"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Prince. I am really fine."

She said everything was fine, but she sighed deeply and anyone could tell she was lying.

Mu Bo's eyes flashed with impatience, but he still asked softly: "I have heard about what was discussed downstairs just now. I sent people to investigate secretly a while ago. The Xiao family is really outrageous. Are they bullying you because you have no one to back you up?"

Xiao Ruge smiled secretly in her heart, it seemed that Mu Bo was ready to show his goodwill to her.

Sure enough, before she could speak, Mu Bo continued, "Don't worry, now that this prince knows about this matter, he will definitely not let it go! Don't worry, if you don't let go of the things in the general's mansion, no one can take a single cent!"

Xiao Ruge looked at Mu Bo with fear and trepidation, then stood up and bowed to him.

"The Fifth Prince must have misunderstood. I am doing well in the Xiao family. You must not let your great-aunt know what I just said, otherwise, she will be unhappy!"

Mu Bo had heard before that Xiao Ruge had punished Zhu Chengxi, and he thought that she was a courageous woman. But who would have thought that when he met her today, she was so timid and cowardly. He was really disappointed.

But he didn't show it on his face, just a little disappointed.

"Your grandfather and father are both great generals. It is said that a tiger father will have a dog daughter. Why are you so cowardly? Xiao Ruge, please don't bring shame to the reputation of your grandfather and father!"

Xiao Ruge seemed to be frightened by Mu Bo's words. She raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she sighed heavily.

"Fifth Prince, you don't know that I am now living in the Xiao family, and I am restricted in every way. Even going out to relax today was blocked by many parties. I am the only one left in my family now, and I don't have so many other thoughts. I just want to live the rest of my life well, that's all."
