Xiao Ruge was looking at fabrics with the shopkeeper, thinking about what kind of dress to make, when she suddenly felt the light dim. She looked up and saw a familiar-looking man standing in front of her.

She frowned, but before she could speak, the man opposite her smiled and bowed to her.

"Miss Xiao, you are polite. My name is Duanmu Ling. I have a few words to say to you. Is it convenient for you?"

Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows.

She asked why this person looked so familiar. It turned out to be Duanmu Ling, the son of the Minister of Justice.

In his previous life, this man had a very good relationship with the Seventh Prince, but later in the struggle for succession, he was implicated by the Seventh Prince and ended up with his head and body separated.

Of course, the Seventh Prince wasn’t much better off. It was said that he was poisoned by the Third Prince and died with blood coming out of all his orifices.

Remembering that these two people have always been inseparable, Xiao Ruge looked around and saw the seventh prince Mu Gu at the door.

This man is still the same as he was in his previous life, elegant and suave, especially his pair of peach blossom eyes, which captured the hearts of countless girls back then.

But Xiao Ruge knew that this man was a smiling tiger, and a smiling one at that.

So she made up her mind that she must not have anything to do with Mu Gu.

So after taking a look at Duanmu Ling, she chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm busy."

After saying that, she pointed to the shopkeeper at the pieces of cloth she had chosen, then told him what kind of dress she wanted to make. Then she turned around, walked past Mu Gu, and walked out quickly.

Duanmu Ling was also handsome and there were many young ladies in Beijing who admired him, some of whom even threw themselves at him. This was the first time he was rejected.

Looking at his friend standing there stupidly, Mu Gu laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing laughing?"

Being laughed at by his good friend, Duanmu Ling glared at him in anger.

"How is it? Is this thorny queen of flowers strong enough?"

Mu Gu replied to his friend, then turned around and left the cloth shop.

After going out and looking far away, you can still see that slim figure in the crowd.

At this moment, the man was talking to a maid, and judging by the expression on his face, it seemed that he had encountered some difficulties.

"Miss, I have already found out that the second old lady from our old house sent a steward over there, along with many servants. He used his power to bully others, and in just a few days, he has sold out several people from the old house!"

Xiao Ruge's face darkened when he heard this.

She knew that Old Madam Xiao would take action, but she didn't expect her to act so quickly. In just a few days, she sold the servants in the old house. She was anxious to take over the old house!

"Have all the people been settled?"

Bai Zhi nodded, "I followed the young lady's instructions and bought back all the slaves that were sold, and settled them in the farm outside the city!"

"Okay, find a few kids later and distribute these."

Xiao Ruge took out a note and handed it to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi took it, opened it, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Miss, you..."

"Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say."

"Yes."

Baizhi came and went in a hurry and soon disappeared in the crowd.

Xiao Ruge thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Xiao Mansion.

Didn't Mrs. Xiao always want to seize her family property? Then she had to make good use of this.

In my previous life, I was stupid and my eyes were blinded by lard, so I couldn't tell the good guys from the bad guys. By the time I saw the true face of Old Lady Xiao, half of the family property had already been taken away by her.

In this life, not only does she have to protect her own property, but she also has to make Old Madam Xiao bleed heavily!

"Miss Xiao, we meet again!"

Because Xiao Ruge was thinking about something, she almost bumped into Duanmu Ling in front of her.

She frowned at the dog-skin plaster and said coldly, "What do you want?"

"Miss Xiao, please don't misunderstand. I just want to remind you that Zhu's Sixth Brother is not a good man. Don't be deceived by his appearance. He..."

"Which eye of yours saw me being bewitched by that pig-head? If your eyesight isn't good, go get treatment. Stop talking nonsense here!"

He rolled his dark eyes at Duanmu Ling, and when he walked around him to leave, he saw Mu Gu standing aside with his arms folded across his chest, looking at him with interest.

This startled Xiao Ruge, and she then glared at Mu Gu.

"What are you looking at? Have you ever seen such a domineering woman?"

Mu Gu laughed immediately, "I have indeed never seen such a beauty before. The beauties in the capital are all gentle and kind. It is the first time I have seen such a unique beauty like Miss Xiao."

When it comes to talking skills, Xiao Ruge knows that she is no match for Mu Gu. She knew this in her previous life.

So she snorted coldly at Mu Gu, walked around him and left quickly.

"This Miss Xiao is really special!"

Duanmu Ling opened the folding fan with a "snap" and shook it gently twice.

With a smile on his face, he stared at Xiao Ruge's back until he could no longer see her, then he looked away.

As a good friend, Mu Gu naturally knew what Duanmu Ling was thinking. It was nothing more than that he met someone who didn't take him seriously, and he felt a desire to conquer her.

"I advise you not to provoke Xiao Ruge. She is not someone you can easily deal with."

Duanmu Ling smiled without comment, then put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him to go drink wine.

Not long after returning to the Xiao Mansion, Bai Zhi also came back. Seeing how happy she looked, it seemed that things had been done.

Xiao Ruge originally thought that the result from Zhu Chengxi would not be known until tomorrow, but unexpectedly, she was called to the front hall by Old Lady Xiao in the afternoon.

This time, except for Old Lady Zhu, the only one from the Zhu family who did not come was Third Lady Zhu, who came with Zhu Chengxi.

The servants behind him brought a lot of things and a lot of apology gifts. It can be seen that the sincerity this time is much stronger than last night.

As soon as he saw Xiao Ruge, Zhu Chengxi walked over with a bitter face and bowed deeply to her.

"Miss Xiao Er, I was blind and full of shit a few days ago, which offended you and made you unhappy. Today I came here with gifts to apologize. Please forgive me!"

Originally, Madam Zhu San was still being arrogant, thinking that even if she was apologizing, she couldn't let that little bitch Xiao Ruge get too proud.

Who would have thought that her son would be so humble right from the start, which made her face turn dark.

Old Mrs. Xiao did not expect that Zhu Liulang, who was always arrogant and domineering, would apologize to Xiao Ruge so humbly.

For a moment, the expression on his face was also very interesting.

There were five or six people sitting in the living room, including guests and hosts, and even Xiao Mingyue came to watch the fun.

Seeing that Zhu Chengxi was so humble, everyone's expression changed immediately.

The Second Madam and Xiao Mingyue both looked unhappy. They had originally wanted to see Xiao Ruge make a fool of herself, but who knew that Zhu Chengxi not only did not cause trouble, but became well-behaved instead.

The third lady looked at Xiao Ruge with bright eyes. She felt that this little girl was quite capable.
