Xiao Mingyue had just come back from outside and couldn't help frowning when she saw this scene.

"Which village sent this thing? Why didn't they take a side path?"

The housekeeper who was helping unload the goods heard this and immediately came over with a smile.

"In reply to Fourth Miss, these are the gifts given to Second Miss by the Third Prince's wife!"

"Hey, the fourth sister is back!"

Just at this moment, Xiao Ruge was holding a big peach and tossing it up and down in her hand. After seeing Xiao Mingyue, she glanced at her with a playful look.

"Are you going to see General Lu again?"

Since the engagement, Xiao Mingyue did stay quiet for a while, but later she became more attentive to Lu Yu and would find excuses to visit him two or three times in ten days.

This made Old Lady Xiao very dissatisfied, and she called her over to scold her.

Xiao Mingyue seemed to be obedient on the surface, but she would still do what she wanted to do after leaving Ronghui Hall.

Old Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she fell ill, and Xu was also implicated.

Xiao Mingyue smiled. She looked at Xiao Ruge proudly and straightened her clothes.

"Yes, Brother Yu has been a bit busy recently. I heard that there are bandits in Fuping County. Brother Yu received an order and is preparing to lead troops to suppress the bandits!"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to go back and make shoes for Brother Yu. Second sister should also know that people who practice martial arts have the most useless shoes!"

Xiao Mingyue looked very happy. She adjusted her hair bun, walked past Xiao Ruge, and left with the little maid Chuntao.

After being caught in the act, Old Lady Xiao brought Xiao Mingyue back and beat the gatekeeper Chunzhi to death with sticks.

Chuntao was the maid chosen for her later, and she looked a little dull.

Xiao Ruge almost felt nauseous when she heard how Xiao Mingyue addressed Lu Yu.

Looking at Xiao Mingyue who disappeared in the corridor, his mind searched quickly. It seemed that Lu Yu did not go to suppress the bandits in his previous life, but was assigned another task.

Who went to suppress bandits in the previous life?

Ah, it seems to be a captain named Wang, but why is it not this Captain Wang who went in this life?

Xiao Ruge was a little confused. Could it be that because both she and Xiao Mingyue were reborn, some things had changed?

This was indeed the case. Because of some of her previous arrangements, Captain Wang was killed when he was eliminating Lu Yu's friends. He was the one who fell off his horse and died.

However, Mr. Sun didn't tell her about these things, so she didn't know about them.

After Xiao Mingyue returned, she was thinking about her worries while making shoes.

Because of the last time he was caught cheating, Lu Yu felt alienated from her. Although he was still gentle to her, she could feel that Lu Yu was deliberately distancing himself from her.

She couldn't let the situation go on like this, she had to make sure Lu Yu couldn't leave her!

Thinking back to the reason why Lu Yu was able to ascend the throne as emperor in his previous life, Xiao Ruge’s help played the greatest role in the early stages.

Xiao Ruge has money and connections. She uses these resources to pave the way for Lu Yu. She and Lu Yu are engaged in this life, so she should arrange everything in advance.

It’s just that all the people Lu Yu had made friends with before were dead, and several people died in the same period, which made Xiao Mingyue feel that something was fishy.

But the incident happened so long ago, not to mention that Xiao Mingyue has no ability to investigate, even if she could, she wouldn't find anything.

So she decided to help Lu Yu recruit a group of people to help him.

She put down her needle and thread, took out the small box where she kept her private money from the cupboard, and began to count her belongings.

She was reborn early, so she had been making preparations for the day when she could help Lu Yu.

So after entering the capital, he secretly asked Chunzhi to buy some private property for him. Although the profit was not much, he still earned more than two hundred taels of money every month. Now he has saved nearly one thousand taels of private money.

She took out five hundred taels from it and thought about who could help Lu Yu in the future. After thinking about it, she really thought of someone.

Yang Wenxing, the Minister of War!

Although this man is a bit greedy for money, he does have some real abilities, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

Xiao Mingyue decided to start with Yang Wenxing first.

Of course, she couldn't do this, as she was just a woman after all. She only needed to remind Lu Yu a little, give him the silver, and let him get in touch with Yang Wenxing.

So after the shoes were finished, she went to see Lu Yu under the pretext of delivering the shoes to him, and mentioned Yang Wenxing's matter to him.

"Recently, when my father came back, he always mentioned Minister Yang, saying that he was very dedicated in raising food and fodder this time and that he was a capable man."

In addition to bringing the shoes she made herself, Xiao Mingyue also went to Tianxiang Tower to ask for some food to bring back.

She spoke casually as she placed several dishes on the table.

Ignoring the people walking back and forth outside the door, seemingly busy but actually spying on this side, she curled the corners of her mouth.

Those were Lu Yu's colleagues. She had met them when she came here before. They kept calling her "future sister-in-law", which made Xiao Mingyue very happy. So she didn't hate these people looking at her.

Lu Yu sighed, "Minister Yang is indeed quite capable. I wanted to visit him before, but he was always busy and had no time."

Xiao Mingyue sat down next to him, smiling tenderly, "It doesn't matter if we can't see him. As long as he accepts the things we send, it's also a favor, right?"

"I heard from my father before that Minister Yang loves poetry and painting. Brother Yu just needs to buy a painting that Minister Yang likes and give it to him. Can he throw it away?"

Although what he said made sense, Lu Yu knew his current situation.

The money that was wasted before could not be recovered, and now the betrothal gift to Xiao Mingyue had used up all his savings. How could he have the money to buy a painting?

Just as he frowned and wondered what to do, a small brocade box was stuffed into his hand.

"I have saved some money over the years. I know it's not easy for Brother Yu to be alone in the capital. You can use this first. If it's not enough, I will send some more."

Lu Yu was stunned by her actions. He opened the brocade box and took out the things inside. It turned out to be five hundred taels of silver notes.

Xiao Mingyue was afraid that his self-esteem would be damaged, so seeing his stiff face, she hurried to explain.

"Brother Yu, don't get me wrong. I just want you to be well! And we will get married in the future. My money belongs to Brother Yu. Please don't share yours or mine with me. It will make me sad!"

Lu Yu looked at the banknote in his hand and thought to himself, you’re thinking too much.

He was in need of money the most, but he didn't expect Xiao Mingyue to send him money. It was really a timely rain.

So he looked at Xiao Mingyue with gratitude, held her hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Mingyue, marrying you is the greatest luck in my life!"

Xiao Mingyue felt shy when she heard that. She lowered her head, revealing her fair and tender neck.
