As soon as he climbed out from the back wall, Mo Yi said, "My Lord, you should take care of the wound on your mouth!"

Thinking of how Xiao Ruge bit him last night, Mu Gu curled his lips in a good mood, took the ointment from Mo Yi, applied it casually, and went to the palace.

Although Mu Gu was a very scoundrel, he still knew his limits. He usually just kissed and hugged Xiao Ruge and never did anything else out of line.

She originally thought that when she returned, the first person to come to see her would be Old Lady Xiao, but unexpectedly it was Xiao Mingyue.

Now she is the mistress of the house. Although she is not from a wealthy and noble family, in Xiao Mingyue's heart, Lu Yu has a bright future. Both his temperament and behavior seem to be somewhat arrogant.

"How come Fourth Sister has time to come to my place?"

Xiao Ruge sat in the main seat and looked at Xiao Mingyue with a smile on her face, thinking she was very funny.

It is still unknown whether Lu Yu can be recognized now, but I didn’t expect Xiao Mingyue to act so arrogantly here.

"Second sister, we haven't seen each other for a while. I heard that you went to the northern border to pay tribute to your relatives?"

Xiao Mingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, frowned, then put the teacup down with a look of disgust on her face, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, as if she had drunk something unclean.

Xiao Ruge sneered in her heart, lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The Longjing tea before the rain was full of fragrance, and the taste lingered in her mouth.

"Yes, my family members' memorials are all in the latter part of the twelfth lunar month, so I stayed in the northern border for a while longer."

Since Xiao Mingyue didn't tell her purpose, she wouldn't mention it either. Anyway, she wouldn't be the one who would be anxious in the end.

"You were not in the capital, and grandma was very worried about you. Now that you are back, why don't you go home?"

Xiao Mingyue looked like she was preaching, as if Xiao Ruge would be sorry for the Xiao family if she didn't return there. Xiao Ruge laughed when she heard it.

"What Fourth Sister said is really interesting. The 'home' you mentioned refers to the Xiao family where my great-aunt is?"

"Of course, who else could it be from the Xiao family!"

Xiao Mingyue answered as a matter of course, and it was obvious at first glance that he was trying to find fault.

"I don't agree with what Fourth Sister said. The Xiao family you mentioned is your home, not mine. My home is this General's Mansion!"

What Xiao Ruge said was not wrong. Although the Xiao family and Xiao Ruge's family were originally from the same family, they later separated. The General's Mansion was Xiao Ruge's real home.

Xiao Mingyue was speechless. Finally, she snorted and said, "Second sister, I mean well. Grandmother loves you even more than me, her own granddaughter. I just want you to go back and visit Grandmother more often. How could you misunderstand me like this?"

"I will naturally go to see my great-aunt. You don't need to remind me. If you came here today just to talk about this, then please go back. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you!"

Having said that, Xiao Ruge stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Mingyue.

"Wait!"

"Anything else?"

Xiao Ruge turned half of his body to look at her.

Xiao Mingyue looked like she had something to say but was too embarrassed to speak. Xiao Ruge snorted in her heart and turned around to continue walking.

Xiao Mingyue was anxious now, and ran over to stop her, "Xiao Ruge, I have something to tell you!"

Xiao Ruge took two steps back and distanced herself from Xiao Mingyue. "What's the matter?"

Xiao Mingyue took a deep breath and said condescendingly: "Brother Yu wants to put a few people in the barracks, but the people in the barracks don't allow it. I want you to put people in under the name of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Ruge raised an eyebrow, "Why should I help you? There's no benefit."

"Xiao Ruge! We are family! If you help me, you are helping yourself. How can you ask for benefits from me?"

Xiao Mingyue looked at her with disbelief, and it looked like she wanted to beat Xiao Ruge up and make her support her in everything.

"A family? I don't see that."

She had hurt me in the past, but now she came to tell me that they were a family. Xiao Ruge thought she was really ridiculous.

"I am the only one left in the Xiao family now. Even if I have a say in the army, it's because of my grandfather, not me. I don't have the nerve to force people into the army by just saying a few words. Fourth sister, you should go find someone else!"

Xiao Ruge waved to Xiao Mingyue, said "see you off", and left with Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang.

Xiao Mingyue was so angry that she jumped on the spot, pointing at Xiao Ruge's back and wanting to curse at her, but she was concerned that this was the General's Mansion and not the Xiao family, so she had to turn around and leave in hatred.

After Lu Yu learned about the unusual movements in the northwest, he became more eager to get people into the army. He also wanted to use his connections to get himself promoted.

When the war really breaks out in the northwest, he will volunteer to go to the northwest.

The war in the northwest is easier to fight than that in the Rongdi area. After all, the Qiang, Hu and Yidi are not good at fighting, so the military merits are just picked up for free.

Before, Xiao Mingyue also helped him to smooth things over by using the name of the Xiao family.

However, the people in the army only recognized the lineage of General Xiao, and did not recognize the lineage of the second master of the Xiao family. All the silver that was sent out was returned, and they also heard some unpleasant things. Xiao Mingyue was so angry that she ran back to the Xiao family and complained to Old Madam Xiao.

Xiao Ruge found out all this after asking Butler Yang to investigate after Xiao Mingyue left.

Upon hearing that Xiao Mingyue was rejected, Xiao Ruge was in a very good mood. She asked someone to bring some supplements and ran to the Third Prince's Mansion to see Ao Rong.

During this period, Old Madam Xiao also came to visit, but because Xiao Ruge was not there, she had to go back home.

Before leaving, Old Lady Xiao was still very depressed. She repeatedly told Housekeeper Yang to wait for Xiao Ruge to come back and ask her to go back to the Xiao family.

Butler Yang nodded in agreement, and as he watched the carriage gradually go away, he could not help but snort coldly.

Xiao Ruge spent the whole afternoon with Ao Rong. When she came back and heard that Old Lady Xiao had been there, a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"When the old woman left, she asked me to tell you, young lady, that she would wait for you to come back and take some time to visit the Xiao family. She missed you very much."

Speaking of this, Butler Yang felt nauseous.

She originally wanted to annex the Xiao family's direct lineage's property, but now she's saying she misses them. I really don't know how she could say that.

"Since my great-aunt misses me, I will go back to see her."

After having some gifts prepared, Xiao Ruge took people to the Xiao family.

When she heard that Xiao Ruge had returned, Old Mrs. Xiao was very happy and hurried out to greet her.

"Grandmother!"

Before he got close, Xiao Ruge shouted happily.

Old Mrs. Xiao was so happy that she agreed immediately. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Ruge who was walking towards her. She looked her up and down, then frowned, with a trace of heartache in her eyes.

"Why are you so thin? Did you not eat well?"
