"Eat your porridge quickly! Who cares about you? Don't be so sentimental here!"

Xiao Ruge rolled her eyes and went back to bed to look at her sketchbook.

Even though Mu Gu looked lustful towards Xiao Ruge, he still slept on the Luohan bed by the window at night.

Although this bed is a little small for his height, it is better to have a bed than to sleep on the floor.

Before going to bed, Xiao Ruge warned him not to do anything tricky, otherwise she would prick him with a needle to make him impotent.

Mu Gu laughed bitterly and said, "You are a girl, how can you make people lose their erection all the time? How indecent!"

Xiao Ruge sneered at him, lowered the bed curtains and went to sleep.

Mu Gu also lay down to rest.

His body had not fully recovered yet, and he was tired after tossing and turning for most of the day, so he fell asleep not long after lying down.

It was late at night and the only sounds outside the window were the occasional breeze and the chirping of insects.

The guards of the Xiao Mansion passed by the path holding lanterns, and everything seemed so peaceful.

Suddenly, several dark shadows rushed in from outside the courtyard wall, landed silently and quickly disappeared into the shadows. After observing for a while and making sure there was no danger, several people made a gesture and ran quickly towards the backyard of the Xiao Mansion.

At the same time, a corner door in the backyard was gently pushed open, and a figure quickly came in. Taking advantage of the familiar terrain, the figure quickly ran towards Xiao Mingyue's yard.

Xiao Ruge was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a slight noise above her head. It was the sound of footsteps on tiles.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and just as she was about to get up, a big hand covered her mouth.

"Shh, don't make a sound."

It was Mu Gu. He pointed at the roof with a serious expression.

Xiao Ruge blinked to indicate that she understood. After Mu Gu let go of her hand, she took out a dagger from under the pillow to defend herself.

Mu Gu didn't expect that she would prepare weapons even before sleeping. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Xiao Ruge thought he felt that he had no weapon, so she gestured with her eyes to a jeweled sword hanging on the wall.

Mu Gu smiled and was about to say something when he heard the sound of the window being pushed open. The two of them immediately fell silent and retreated back into bed in a defensive posture.

I don’t know if the person was too confident, but after entering the room, he rushed towards the bed in just two or three steps.

But just as he lifted the bed curtain, Mu Gu kicked him in the chest. The man screamed and flew out, knocking over the tables and chairs.

Xiao Ruge followed closely behind, flew over and stabbed the man in the heart, killing him instantly.

The noise in the house quickly attracted the attention of people outside. The men in black who were traveling with them knew that something was wrong and rushed in all at once.

Mu Gu has already taken the sword from the wall. Although it looks like a decoration, when it is pulled out, it shines with a cold light, and it is obviously a peerless weapon.

The target of these men in black was very clear, they were all targeting Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge pulled out the dagger and dodged the weapon that was sweeping towards him, then supported himself with one hand and created some distance between them.

Bai Zhi was guarding the door. At first she thought that Mu Gu had made Xiao Ruge unhappy, and Xiao Ruge was teaching him a lesson.

But she heard some strange noises, and when she opened the door, she saw several men in black fighting with Xiao Ruge and her partner in the room.

Bai Zhi ran out while shouting: "Someone come! Catch the assassin! Someone come quickly..."

At this time, Mo Yi climbed into the house from somewhere. Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu were under great pressure. Before Bai Zhi could call anyone over, the fight in the house was over.

Mu Gu put the long sword in his hand into Xiao Ruge's hand and whispered, "This matter must be reported to the authorities. No matter who it is, once the authorities are alerted, they should think twice before taking action. This way you will be safe for the time being!"

After saying that, he quickly left through the rear window with Mo Yi.

Xiao Ruge checked the men in black with a cold face and found that apart from the black clothes, there were no special marks.

Soon, everyone in the Xiao Mansion woke up and the backyard was brightly lit.

In addition to the first group of guards who rushed over, the first member of the Xiao family to arrive was Xiao Jinzhi.

He rushed in with a sword in his hand, looking fiercely around the room. When he found Xiao Ruge standing there safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ruge, are you okay?"

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her carefully.

Xiao Ruge shook her head. "It's okay. I'm sorry for disturbing Uncle San to come here so late."

"Since such a big thing happened here, I naturally have to come here. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Putting aside the last time when Old Lady Xiao hurt Xiao Jinzhi's heart, he has been in high spirits recently.

Every time he went on duty, he would always come across one or two cases while patrolling.

Whenever someone stole something or bullied innocent people, he would solve the problems one by one. This made his superiors have a better impression of him, and he became more and more popular in the Jingji Guard.

The two of them studied the man in black for a while, and then the rest of the Xiao family came over.

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Ruge anxiously. Seeing that she was fine, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She held her hand and kept comforting her.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay! I was so worried about you! Are you scared? Just follow me and stay at Ronghui Hall tonight!"

Xiao Ruge curled her lips in her heart, thinking, if you were really worried about me, why did you take so long to come here?

Xiao Mingzhi just stood there without saying anything. He never had a good impression of Xiao Ruge.

At first he thought this girl was too smart, and now she has caused him a lot of trouble.

"Grandmother, you should quickly gather everyone in the family and check every courtyard carefully!"

"I don't know if this group of thieves broke in to rob us. It would be terrible if something happened to our family members!"

Xiao Ruge didn't know if there were any accomplices of the man in black in the mansion. What if they took advantage of her let down of her guard and came to assassinate her?

So at Xiao Ruge's suggestion, Old Lady Xiao gathered everyone in Ronghui Hall, and ordered the guards to start searching each courtyard one by one.

"Madam, someone is coming from the Dali Temple!"

At this time, the gatekeeper came over to report, and Mrs. Xiao was stunned.

"Who reported it to the authorities?"

"I asked Bai Zhi to report to the authorities. After all, there is an assassin in our family. Killing the family members of court officials is a serious matter."

Xiao Ruge stepped forward at this time, explained to Old Madam Xiao, and said to the servant: "Go and invite the people from the Dali Temple in!"

The servant looked at Xiao Mingzhi. Xiao Mingzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Then the servant went down.

After a while, several officers came over led by a servant, and the leader bowed to Xiao Mingzhi.

"Sir Xiao, I received a report that an assassin had entered the Xiao family, so I brought people here to take a look."

Xiao Mingzhi nodded, "It's my niece's yard."
