Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Hearing Zhu Chengxi calling her, Xiao Ruge looked at him.

Her eyes were black and white, and when she looked at Zhu Chengxi intently, he was unable to utter the following words.

Mu Gu had disliked Zhu Chengxi in the first place, and now seeing that he still wanted to pester Xiao Ruge, he grabbed his shoulders without saying a word, kicked him on the butt, and kicked Zhu Chengxi directly down the stairs.

If Ao Fang hadn’t been kind enough to catch him from below, he would have probably fallen flat on his face.

"Zhu Chengxi, I don't care what you thought of Ruge in the past, but from now on, you'd better put away those dirty thoughts of yours. Otherwise, you can try to see if the Zhu family has some ability to withstand my torture!"

Zhu Chengxi was startled by his words. After he came to his senses, he quickly waved his hands and said he didn't dare.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I just wanted to apologize to Miss Xiao Er. I, I will..."

"There's no need to apologize. Just stay away from Ruge from now on!"

Mu Gu stood in front of Xiao Ruge with a strong look, staring coldly at Zhu Chengxi with his drunken peach blossom eyes. It seemed that as long as Zhu Chengxi said no, he would draw his sword and kill this guy.

Fortunately, Zhu Chengxi was also a man who knew the current situation. Seeing that Mu Gu looked unhappy, he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disturb Miss Xiao's life in the future!"

Ao Fang had been standing by and watching silently, knowing that Mu Gu disliked Zhu Chengxi and also looked down on him.

So when Mu Gu's eyes swept over him, he immediately reached out and put his hand on Zhu Chengxi's shoulder, hugged him tightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of Master Zhu Liu!"

Considering that Ao Fang was tactful, Mu Gu snorted coldly, waved his hand mercifully, and told the two of them to get out of here quickly.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Ruge, the two turned and left.

Zhu Chengxi turned around to look at Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu standing in front of the door and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that it was completely impossible for him and Xiao Ruge to be together.

Ao Fang sensed his sadness and melancholy, and couldn't help but smile and patted his chest with his hand. His force was so strong that Zhu Chengxi coughed several times.

"I say, Mr. Zhu, there are many beautiful women in the world. Miss Xiao is already engaged to Prince Bao, so you should let her go from now on!"

Zhu Chengxi felt that Ao Fang was a very free and easy person, but he himself could not do that.

So he sighed quietly, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Ao Fang, I heard that you are planning to travel soon?"

Ao Fang nodded, a smile appeared on his face, he looked at Zhu Chengxi and asked, "Why? Sixth Master Zhu wants to come with you too?"

"There's nothing fun in the capital. The farthest place I've been is my grandmother's hometown. I haven't seen other places yet! If you don't mind, then I'll go with you!"

I don’t know if Zhu Chengxi is frustrated in love and wants to escape from the capital, but Ao Fang doesn’t care!

The Chengyang Marquis family is a famous wealthy family in the capital. With the Sixth Master Zhu accompanying them on their travels, they will definitely not have to worry about food and drink on the road.

So Ao Fang immediately patted Zhu Chengxi's shoulders twice, causing Zhu Chengxi's thin body to sway.

"That's great. With Brother Zhu accompanying me, I won't be lonely on the road. Let's make a deal. I'll let you know when I've decided on a date to go out in a few days!"

"Okay! Brother Ao, you have a lot of experience, why don't you tell me about the outside world!"

When this was mentioned, Ao Fang was no longer sleepy. He pulled Zhu Chengxi and chattered, laughing as he disappeared around the corner.

After the two men left, Duanmu Ling and Princess Jianing were left in front of the door.

Xiao Ruge looked at the two of them, and said to Princess Jianing with a smile, "I'll invite you to come to my house some other day."

"Okay, today we only saw the plum blossoms, there will definitely be more beautiful sights in the future, I will definitely come!"

Duanmu Ling raised his eyebrows at the rapid progress of their relationship. Seeing that it was getting late, he bowed to Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu.

"It's getting late, so we'll leave now!"

Mu Gu and the other man nodded and watched Princess Jianing board the carriage. Duanmu Ling then climbed onto the horse and the two of them gradually left the gate of the General's Mansion.

After the carriage turned the corner, Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu also went back. Once the vermilion gate was closed, the street became deserted again.

Inside the carriage, Princess Jianing recalled what Xiao Ruge had said to her. After thinking it over, she lifted the curtain and said, "Brother Duanmu, it's already late. You should go back too. I can go back by myself."

"I'll take you there. I'm worried about you going back alone."

Duanmu Ling, riding on horseback, replied as a matter of course.

But Princess Jianing felt sad after hearing this. She forced herself to cheer up and said disapprovingly, "No need. I have guards around me. Besides, this place is not far from the Princess's Mansion. It will be there in a short walk. On the contrary, the Prime Minister's Mansion is on the other side. You should go back earlier!"

After saying this, without waiting for Duanmu Ling to answer, he ordered the carriage to go faster.

Just like that, before Duanmu Ling could react, Princess Jianing's carriage had disappeared.

He stared blankly at the empty street, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he always felt as if something was wrong. He couldn't figure out what was wrong until he returned home.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he let the matter go.

It was not until after a while that he suddenly discovered that Princess Jianing didn't seem to pester him as much as before, which made him very happy. But after a while, because of some things, he suddenly became unhappy.

Of course, these are things to follow.

After everyone had left, only Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu were left in the general's mansion.

She didn't ask Mu Gu when he would leave. Anyway, whether she asked or not, he would not leave.

After the two of them washed up and were about to rest, Bai Song delivered a letter to Xiao Ruge's home. It was sent back by Sun Yan from Qizhou.

Since the last message was sent back, Xiao Ruge and Sun Yan have been communicating with each other every three days, so she knows the current situation in Qizhou better than the emperor.

Ever since the high price of grain appeared in Qizhou, Sun Yan, under the instigation of Xiao Ruge, got involved in the business. Although the grain shops were not completely deserted, they were still deserted.

After a few days, Sun Yan sold a certain amount of affordable rice every day, and with the help of Chang Yunfei and Chen Xi, he ensured that every household in Qizhou could buy one and a half kilograms of rice a day.

Although they couldn't eat their fill, they wouldn't starve to death. If they saved some food, some families with small populations could even save a lot.

After the snowstorm, almost nine out of ten villages and towns around Qizhou were deserted, and most of the survivors became lonely. This pound and a half of rice was enough for a day's food.

At first, a few grain merchants wanted to cause trouble for Sun Yan, but when Chen Xi led the soldiers to the door, those who wanted to cause trouble stopped and dared not to cause trouble again.
