Although she came here today to pray for a chance of success, she didn't know that it was this chance of success that saved her and her child's lives soon after.

Xiao Ruge smiled and said, "I hope you and the child are safe."

"Thank you! I'll take your good words from the Second Miss!"

Aunt Sun left before the servants of Ruyi Garden came back. When they came back, Xiao Ruge took the remaining things and left the Xiao Mansion in a mighty manner.

Old Mrs. Xiao brought Mrs. Xu, followed by Aunt Sun, and they all went out to see her off.

She already knew about the affair between Nanny Sun and the two servants. Although she was confused, the person was already dead, and it was not a good time to fall out with Xiao Ruge.

Besides, Xiao Ruge's argument was well-founded, leaving her speechless. She could only say that it would be better if such a heartless servant died. In order to comfort Xiao Ruge, she also picked out a lot of good things from the warehouse and sent them over.

"Ruge, come back more often in the future, don't forget that your great-aunt has left the yard for you!"

Old Mrs. Xiao held Xiao Ruge's hand with tears in her eyes, her face full of reluctance, as if Xiao Ruge would never come back.

Xiao Ruge nodded, followed suit, and shed two tears.

"Grandmother, please go back soon. Ruge must come back often when she is free in the future!"

The grandparents and grandchildren said goodbye to each other reluctantly. People on the street looked at them sideways and couldn't help but sigh that old lady Xiao was really good to Xiao Ruge.

But they forgot that when they first returned to the capital, Old Madam Xiao was still thinking of seizing Xiao Ruge's family property.

Even after getting on the carriage and the horse paddled forward, Xiao Ruge stuck her head out of the window and waved to the Xiao family members standing at the door.

Old Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears and waved her hands, and took two steps forward. Mrs. Xu was afraid that she would fall, so she hurried to support her.

Aunt Sun stood on the steps and watched all this coldly. She felt that the people of the Xiao family were so hypocritical. No one should say anything about anyone else, including her nominal husband.

The carriage gradually went away. When Old Lady Xiao and others went back, Xiao Ruge put away the sadness on her face and took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Leaving the Xiao family is a good thing, but our young lady is so tired that she has to act out this crying scene!"

Xiaoshuang sighed and felt sorry for her young lady.

Bai Zhi brought a cup of tea for Xiao Ruge to moisten her throat and chuckled, "If the young lady didn't perform this scene, others would say our young lady is an ungrateful person!"

Xiao Shuang thought about it and felt that it was right. She said happily, "Then let them feel that the young lady is reluctant to leave the old lady. It won't be too late to be happy behind closed doors after we go back!"

Xiao Ruge curled her lips and drank tea while listening to the two maids talking.

Bai Zhi took out a plate of chestnut cake from the food box and said with a smile, "Butler Yang has sent a message that the kitchen has prepared wine and food and is waiting for the young lady to come back. Let's celebrate!"

Speaking of which, Xiao Ruge also felt a little bit homesick. Although they were only a few streets away, he felt that the road today was particularly long.

She lifted the car curtain and looked outside. It was the same street, but she could see some differences today. She felt that even the small stalls on both sides of the road were very good.

The carriage soon stopped in front of the general's mansion. Mu Gu had been waiting at the door for a long time. He didn't care what others thought. Anyway, Xiao Ruge was his future princess, so he should care about her.

Before Xiao Ruge got off the carriage, he strode over and reached out to take Xiao Ruge from the carriage.

"How is it? Did the old lady from the Xiao family give you any trouble?"

Looking at his serious expression, as if he would go to the Xiao family to cause trouble if she said yes, Xiao Ruge couldn't help but chuckle.

"No, my great-aunt is very concerned about her reputation. How could she embarrass me at this critical moment? Wouldn't that be like asking others to poke her in the back? She would never do that!"

If this matter happened to Xu, she might have a hard time, but with Xu's brain, she was not afraid of being embarrassed.

"I'm glad you're alright. If that old hag dares to say something unpleasant to you, just tell me and I'll help you vent your anger. I'm a prince now, and this title is very useful!"

Mu Gu and Mu Bo met at Tianxiang Tower a few days ago. Mu Bo said some inappropriate things and Mu Gu retorted back at that time and did not tolerate him at all.

If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely chosen to protect himself and endure the situation for a while.

But it’s different now. He is a prince, and his status is much higher than other princes. Naturally, he will not tolerate it anymore.

"Okay, I know you've made it. If I'm wronged in the future, I'll make sure you vent your anger for me!"

Today is a happy day, and Xiao Ruge didn't have the heart to offend Mu Gu, so she spoke to him with a smile on her face and tilted her head.

As the two were walking towards the general's mansion, they heard someone calling her from afar.

"Second Miss Xiao!"

The two of them looked back and saw Zhu Chengxi, with Ao Fang standing next to him.

"I heard that Miss Xiao moved back to the General's Mansion, so Mr. Zhu and I came to take a look!"

Ao Fang smiled heartily and reached out to pick up a food box in his hand.

"Miss Xiao Er, this is a celebration of moving into a new house, so you must have a good meal. Young Master Zhu Liu and I won't eat for nothing. We brought food here. Miss Xiao Er just needs to prepare the dishes and chopsticks!"

"Yes, we brought some things over, and we brought you a gift."

After what happened last time, Zhu Chengxi never came to see Xiao Ruge. One reason was that he was afraid that she was still angry, and the other was that he felt that he had made a big mistake before, so he locked himself at home to reflect on himself.

Later, when he figured it out, he wanted to apologize to Xiao Ruge, but he heard that she had gone to the northern border.

He waited and waited at home, but before Xiao Ruge came back, he heard that Mu Gu was named Prince Bao.

So much so that when Xiao Ruge came back later, he didn't dare to come to see her, for fear that Mu Gu would misunderstand him and cause trouble for him again.

Now that he had finally found an excuse, he went out with the gifts. On the way, he met Ao Fang. They both felt that it was not appropriate to come alone, so they decided to come together.

Xiao Ruge was no longer angry with Zhu Chengxi. After all, in her eyes, Zhu Chengxi was just a child. Why should she care so much about a child?

It was Ao Fang, who confessed his love to her during the autumn hunt, which made her feel a little embarrassed whenever she saw him.

"Oh my, it's so lively in front of the general's mansion today?"

As they were talking, Duanmu Ling came over holding a brocade box.

Princess Jianing, who was wearing a light pink dress, followed beside him, looking at Xiao Ruge with her almond-shaped eyes with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

"When did you come back?"

Seeing Duanmu Ling, Mu Gu strode over happily and patted the man's shoulder vigorously.

Previously, some changes happened in the Prime Minister's wife's family, so she took Duanmu Ling back to her hometown to deal with it. Who knew that she would be away for half a year.
