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

Xiao Ruge said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice.

Old Madam Xiao looked at her with an unfriendly look. After asking the doctor and confirming that Xiao Mingyue was fine, she called a group of people to the outer hall.

"Ruge, didn't you take Mingyue to attend the poetry gathering? How did she fall into the water out of nowhere?"

"Yes! You took me, a good girl, out, and I came back lying down. There were so many people at the poetry meeting today, and Mingyue's clothes got wet. What should I do in the future? Xiao Ruge, you must give me an explanation today!"

As soon as Mrs. Xiao asked the question, Xu started crying and yelling at Xiao Ruge, with a look in her eyes as if she wanted to eat her.

In Xu's eyes, Xiao Ruge must have framed her on purpose.

Xiao Ruge sighed, "Second Aunt, I know you care about Fourth Sister, but I don't know exactly what happened when she fell into the water."

"How could you not know? Aren't you with Mingyue?"

Xu thought Xiao Ruge was trying to shirk responsibility and refused to give in.

Mrs. Lin, who was sitting on the side, couldn't bear to watch and said, "Second sister-in-law, Mingyue is not a child anymore. Do you really want Ruge to take her everywhere? Besides, with Mingyue's temper, do you think Ruge can persuade her?"

"Stop arguing, let's hear what Ruge has to say about what's going on."

Old Madam Xiao glared at Xu and then looked at Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge then recounted what happened at the poetry meeting, and when she talked about everyone boating on the lake together, she sighed.

"My fourth sister said there were lotus flowers and lotus pods on the lake and that we should pick them to make lotus seed soup. After I got on the boat, I went to pick lotus pods. Who knew that this would happen later?"

"Then how did she fall into the water and why? Do you know?"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked relentlessly.

Xiao Ruge shook her head. "You'll have to ask Chunzhi. I was picking lotus pods at the time! I didn't see any."

After hearing this, Nanny Qian asked someone to call Chunzhi over. As soon as Chunzhi came, she knelt down and told everyone what had happened while crying.

It turned out that Xiao Mingyue had greeted Duanmu Ling and offended Princess Jianing, so Princess Jianing deliberately made things difficult for her and pushed Xiao Mingyue into the lake.

"After the Fourth Young Miss fell into the water, I begged desperately, but Princess Jianing refused to help her and even said that no one was allowed to save the Fourth Young Miss."

Chunzhi's face was already covered with tears. When she said this, she paused and wiped her tears.

"Fortunately, General Lu intervened in time and rescued the fourth young lady."

"Who did you say saved Mingyue?"

Old Mrs. Xiao tightened her grip on the back of the chair and her voice became a little higher.

"It's General Lu Yulu who saved us on the river last time, great-aunt, do you think this is fate?"

Before Chunzhi could answer, Xiao Ruge spoke first with a smile.

"Fourth sister said at the time that this was a life-saving favor to her, and she is deeply grateful! Grandmother, we must thank General Lu. Otherwise, even if Princess Jianing spares Fourth sister, she will definitely fall seriously ill!"

Old Mrs. Xiao's face became even uglier when she heard Xiao Ruge's imitation of her words.

There must be something else going on here. Mingyue is such a bold girl. How could she say such things in public?

What if Lu Yu wants to repay a favor?

She turned around and glared at Xu fiercely, and Xu didn't dare to look up.

Lin laughed secretly in her heart after hearing this, and covered her raised lips by wiping them, and glanced at Xu with contempt in her eyes.

Look, this is the good daughter taught by Xu, but she is so eager to get involved with a man. She is so shameless!

"I know about this. Ruge is also tired today, go back and rest first!"

Hearing what Old Lady Xiao said, Xiao Ruge stood up obediently and saluted, telling Old Lady Xiao not to worry too much, then took Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang back to Ruyi Garden.

After returning to Ruyi Garden, Xiao Ruge asked Xiaoshuang to take the lotus pods to the small kitchen to make soup, while she opened the door of the dormitory holding a handful of blooming lotus flowers.

Mu Gu was sitting on the Arhat bed and flipping through Xiao Ruge's notebook. When he heard the voice and looked up, he saw a bright girl walking in with lotus flowers in her arms.

The large bunch of lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the petals were bright pink with a hint of tenderness, but no matter how delicate the color was, it was not even one-tenth of that of a young girl.

"came back?"

"Ah."

Xiao Ruge responded in a good mood. While looking for a vase with Bai Zhi to put the lotus in, she glanced at Mu Gu and said, "You are not shy. Don't forget, this is my yard!"

"We are partners now, why should we be so clear about the differences?"

Mu Gu put down the notebook in his hand, stretched out his long legs and landed on the ground, then walked to Xiao Ruge with a smile. He stroked the pink petals with his slender fingers, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that we are just partners! Your injuries are almost healed, so you should hurry back to your prince's palace! What's the point of always staying at my place?"

"Ouch!"

As soon as Xiao Ruge finished speaking, Mu Gu covered his chest and cried out in pain, which frightened Xiao Ruge and she quickly asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

"My chest hurts. Ever since I made you a human cushion last time, it seems like something has happened to my chest. It hurts from time to time."

Mu Gu had a painful expression on his face and sat aside, holding his chest.

Xiao Ruge frowned and sat down opposite him, "Give me your hand, I'll help you take a look."

"No need, it's just a small matter...ah..."

Before Mu Gu could finish his words, Xiao Ruge grabbed his wrist.

She felt the man's wrist pulse, then frowned and looked at him, her expression gradually becoming solemn.

Seeing her face so solemn, Mu Gu suddenly felt uneasy.

"Is there really something wrong with my body?"

He was just pretending so as not to be driven away by Xiao Ruge.

But the more he looked at Xiao Ruge's expression, the more worried he became, fearing that there really was something wrong with his body.

Xiao Ruge frowned, his eyes were thoughtful, and the situation seemed to be very serious.

"Your body..."

"What's wrong with my body?"

"You are as strong as a bull. Don't fool me here. Do you think you can pretend to be sick in front of a doctor? How childish!"

Xiao Ruge shook off Mu Gu's hand, glared at him, picked up the vase and placed it on the windowsill.

It turned out to be a false alarm!

Mu Gu let out a long sigh, returned to the Arhat bed, tilted his head and looked at Xiao Ruge with a smile.

"Who told you to always chase me away?"

"This is not your home. Isn't it my responsibility to chase you away? What if..."

"Miss, it's bad, the old lady is coming!"

Xiao Ruge was just about to talk to Mu Gu about reason when Xiao Shuang ran in, panting.

He also glanced at Mu Gu, as if asking what the Seventh Prince should do now that the old lady was coming?

Mu Gu was very quick and agile. After Xiao Shuang finished speaking, he jumped out of the back window, and did not forget to close the window when he left.
