Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 9 Everyone knows it
Everyone was waiting for Xiao Ruge to speak, but Mrs. Zhu was not happy and said angrily, "Xi'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Didn't you say before that the matter had nothing to do with you? Why are you saying this now? Could it be that someone has bewitched you?"
As he spoke, his sharp eyes shot out like a knife.
Xiao Ruge sneered: "What does Third Madam mean by this? Can I instigate Sixth Young Master?"
Turning his gaze to Zhu Chengxi, Xiao Ruge said coldly: "Since it is the Sixth Young Master's fault, then you should solve this mess. If there are rumors in Kyoto, our Xiao family will not suffer this loss."
As he said that, he looked at Old Madam Xiao, "Right? Great-aunt."
After being stunned for a moment, Old Madam Xiao looked unhappy and a little embarrassed.
She didn't want to offend the Zhu family, and of course she didn't want to ruin the Xiao family's reputation.
Caught in a dilemma, Madam Xiao was unable to speak for a moment.
"I will definitely explain it clearly and will never let any rumors spread. If anyone dares to spread rumors, I will pull out his tongue!"
Seeing the silence at the table, Zhu Chengxi immediately spoke loudly.
Xiao Ruge smiled with satisfaction and met his eyes. Zhu Chengxi's eyes were full of pleading.
"In that case, I would like to ask the Sixth Young Master to come and apologize in three days. This will be considered as a polite gesture."
The implication is that if there are no rumors within three days, you can get the antidote.
If there are still rumors, then wait for death.
After saying these words, Xiao Ruge looked at Old Madam Zhu.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Madam Zhu. Please take care of yourself. I'll be leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed and walked forward with big strides.
The guests who were standing there in a daze all showed expressions of disbelief. They involuntarily made way for Xiao Ruge and watched him leave.
Outside the door, Duanmu Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Who is this woman? She can make Zhu Chengxi so obedient. This is the first time I've seen this!"
Zhu Chengxi, who grew up in the capital city, was a scoundrel with fine clothes and delicious food, and was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth. No one dared to mess with him, but today he actually apologized in public and even went to apologize in person. This was truly unheard of.
"I heard his last name is Xiao."
With a faint glow in his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes, Mu Gu opened his thin lips and spoke lightly.
"Xiao..."
Duanmu Ling pondered for a while, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"I know, it's the Xiao family who just came to Kyoto."
"I heard that this old lady Zhu has taken a fancy to the two daughters of the Xiao family. Today's birthday banquet is actually for finding a wife for her grandson."
After a pause, Duanmu Ling continued, "I just don't know which girl in the Xiao family this woman is."
"Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles."
Mu Gu said calmly: "It won't be long before everyone knows about it."
A prophecy.
The next day, the news had spread to every street corner and everyone in Kyoto knew about it.
Zuiyun Tower.
The largest tea house in Kyoto.
There are four floors in total. The top two floors are occupied by dignitaries, the second floor is for singing and dancing, and the first floor is for ordinary people.
Xiao Mingyue brought Liu'er out to cut new clothes, and while waiting she thought about drinking some tea.
But who would have thought that as soon as I stepped into Zuiyun Tower, I heard people talking about the Xiao family.
"I didn't expect that the Xiao family would have someone like Xiao Ruge, who could actually control Zhu Chengxi! She's really capable, worthy of being the daughter of a general!"
"Why did I hear that Xiao Ruge was begging to marry into the Zhu family?"
"What? Xiao Ruge beat Zhu Chengxi in public yesterday!"
Xiao Mingyue's expression changed. She didn't expect that the style of painting would change suddenly overnight.
Why are they all words of praise?
It is unreasonable for a woman to beat someone in public, and it is actually an act of heresy.
What's more, Xiao Ruge's behavior at yesterday's birthday banquet for the old lady was completely against the rules and brought shame to the Xiao family.
The guests at that time were still criticizing the event, but they all changed their tune overnight.
Coming into the quiet room, Xiao Mingyue's face darkened.
In her previous life, Xiao Ruge was unknown. Although she had the title of a general's daughter, she had almost no interaction with Zhu Chengxi in the early days.
Why is she so famous in Kyoto in this life?
She originally wanted to bring Zhu Chengxi and Xiao Ruge together, but who would have thought that Xiao Ruge not only did not appreciate it, but also beat someone up.
At that time, she thought that Xiao Ruge's behavior would definitely be despised by others.
If Lu Yu knew about this, he would not choose to marry Xiao Ruge.
By then, everything will fall into place and he can be the woman by his side.
Although, her ending in the previous life was not good.
Xiao Mingyue had also felt hatred and remorse, but she felt that all this was because there was Xiao Ruge between them.
Once Xiao Ruge was gone, she would definitely be happy.
Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Standing in front of the railing, looking down casually.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.
It turned out to be Xiao Ruge.
How come she is here?
Such a big incident happened in Zhu Mansion yesterday, she should be hiding in Xiao House and not going out at this time, why is she here?
Xiao Ruge was wearing a green silk dress, with no makeup on her face, yet she looked elegant and refined. She only had her hair in a bun, which was held up by a jade hairpin, showing her carefree and unrestrained look.
She went upstairs gracefully.
On the second floor, many people recognized her.
"Isn't this Xiao Ruge? How dare she come out?"
"This is Xiao Ruge. She is indeed a beauty. No wonder Zhu Chengxi is so obsessed with her."
"Didn't I hear that she beat Zhu Chengxi in public and was punished by house arrest? Why is she here?"
Everyone was confused, and Xiao Ruge pretended not to hear the gossip.
If Xiao Ruge had known she would hear these words, she would have chosen to block them automatically.
She just wanted to show up in front of people, there was no way she could make a big deal out of a small matter.
Last night, the Zhu family sent people to negotiate.
Old Madam Xiao naturally wanted to resolve the matter, so she called Xiao Ruge to her study early in the evening.
She first asked about his well-being, then got to the point, saying earnestly: "Since Zhu Chengxi knows his fault and they have given gifts, let's give them a way out and resolve this matter, right?"
Although this was just a question, Xiao Ruge could tell that it was an attempt to force her to agree.
"I'm sure you've seen how they threatened me during the day. If Zhu Chengxi hadn't suddenly changed his ways, wouldn't I have been blamed?"
There was light in her black and white eyes, and Xiao Ruge narrowed her eyes and looked directly at Old Madam Xiao.
"If my reputation is really ruined and I become notorious, will the old lady persuade the Zhu family for my sake?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao's expression changed, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
How could she offend the Zhu family for a mere Xiao Ruge?
She snorted in her heart, but smiled and coaxed softly: "Of course! Of course I will run around for you, after all, you are a member of our Xiao family."
"Since I am a member of the Xiao family, I will not accept your apology today!"
