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

She reached out and touched the wound behind her shoulder, which made her feel a little angry.

The wound on her shoulder was caused by Mu Gu's bite. The man left the tooth marks while charging her, and it was bleeding. She felt that Mu Gu must have been born in the year of the dog in his previous life.

The slightly warm water temperature relieved the aches and pains in her body very well. When the water in the bathtub became slightly cool, Xiao Ruge got up and left.

"Bai Song, go tell Butler Yang that starting today, Prince Bao is not allowed to climb the wall in the middle of the night!"

Bai Song responded and turned to look for Butler Yang.

Baizhi looked at Xiao Ruge in the bronze mirror and used a dry towel to dry her hair. Xiaoshuang brought a charcoal basin from outside and helped Baizhi dry Xiao Ruge's hair.

"Miss, what would you like for lunch? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."

Bai Zhi did not ask about what happened between Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu. She was just a servant and it was not her turn to take care of her master's affairs. She just felt sorry for her own lady.

"Fish noodle soup!"

Despite taking a hot bath, Xiao Ruge still felt very tired and a little bored with everything.

After Bai Zhi went down, Xiao Shuang glanced at Xiao Ruge, hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Xiao Ruge looked at it and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me if you have something to say."

"They are the servants brought from the Xiao family. They have been asking me about the young lady these past few days. I have paid close attention and found that some of them are worried about her future life in the general's mansion, but some others seem to have other intentions."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruge sneered.

These past few days, I had been being dragged along by Mu Gu to do whatever I wanted and I almost forgot about those people.

The things that Old Madam Xiao gave them before were not given for free. Among these people, there must be a few who were bribed by her and wanted to become the old madam's accomplices in the general's mansion!

"Don't worry about them for now, just let them stay in the yard."

All the servants brought back from the Xiao family were locked up in a yard. Since Xiao Ruge didn't tell them what tasks to assign to them, Butler Yang had people watch outside the door and not let them come out.

This matter had been reported to her before, so Xiao Ruge knew their situation.

She was in no mood to deal with those people right now, so she decided to lock him up for a few days.

After this incident, Mu Gu did not come to see Xiao Ruge for several days. On the sixth day after he claimed to be ill, he finally went to court.

But his complexion still didn't look good. Seeing this, Mu Huan couldn't help but frown and asked, "Didn't you say it was just a cold? Why isn't it healed yet?"

Mu Gu smiled bitterly, "It's almost healed."

Although his complexion was not very good, he seemed to be in good spirits. Mu Huan gave him a few more instructions and then stopped talking.

Mu Bo had been staring at the two of them silently, his eyes somewhat gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, the emperor arrived, and after asking about Mu Gu's situation, the morning court officially began.

Because Mu Gu's mind was on Xiao Ruge, he basically did not listen to what was said in the morning court. He only vaguely heard that the Rongdi people attacked the northern border again, and the Qiang, Hu and Yi people outside the northwest were also ready to make a move.

After the court was dismissed, he thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards Zhaoyang Palace to see Concubine Zhao.

Now that she has been conferred the title of a concubine, Concubine Zhao's life is much better than before. Not only does no one deduct money from her expenses anymore, but people also often come to talk to her.

The queen still put on airs and never came to Zhaoyang Palace, but she could not resist those who wanted to curry favor with Concubine Zhao.

Among the several princes, Mu Gu was the first to be conferred the title of prince. Anyone can see that Mu Gu is now the most favored by the emperor.

Although Mu Gu might not be able to ascend the throne because of Concubine Zhao, nothing in this world is certain. What if the emperor changes his attitude? What if he finally ascends the throne with his own ability? These are all possible.

So after Concubine Zhao was promoted to the position of concubine, many concubines who had no sons came to talk to her.

Concubine Zhao responded to all of their requests and did not drive them out because of their previous indifference to her. Instead, she talked and laughed with them.

When Mu Gu arrived, Noble Lady Qiao, Concubine Liang and another beauty were talking to Concubine Zhao. When they saw him come in, they quickly stood up to greet him.

Mu Gu nodded in response.

He is a prince now and no longer has to perform formal greetings when he sees concubines in the harem as he did before.

"Your Highness must be here to see Sister Zhaofei, right? Then we won't bother you. Come and talk to Sister Zhaofei when you are free!"

Concubine Qiao was a person who could read people's expressions. Seeing that Mu Gu didn't look well, she immediately found an excuse to leave with Concubine Liang.

After everyone had left, Concubine Zhao had the tea and snacks removed, and then she looked at her son.

"Is your cold still not healed? Why do you still look so bad? Do you want mother to call a doctor to come and take a look at you?"

Reaching out and pulling her son to sit beside her, Concubine Zhao's eyes were full of concern for her son.

"Mother, I'm fine. I just suffered some internal injuries, not a cold."

"What? Who hurt you? Was it serious?"

When Concubine Zhao heard her son say that he was not sick but injured, her eyes turned red with anxiety. She was so distressed that she wanted Linglai to ask the imperial physician.

But she was stopped by Mu Gu, "Aunt Linglai, you don't have to go. You and Aunt Biyan go down first. I have something to say to my mother."

Linglai and Biyan were only a few years younger than Concubine Zhao. They were sent to serve her after she entered the palace. It was not considered as an overreach for Mu Gu to call them aunt.

After the two of them went out, they stood guard at the door. After the door was closed, Mu Gu told Xiao Ruge that he was beaten by her.

However, because he was afraid of being beaten by his mother, he simply concealed the fact that he had raped Xiao Ruge and locked her in the house for three days and three nights. He only said that he was beaten because he had done something wrong to Xiao Ruge.

It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother. Although Mu Gu did not explain it clearly, Concubine Zhao knew that what he had done to Xiao Ruge must be very serious.

The feeling of heartache that I had just felt suddenly faded a lot.

She glared at her son and said unhappily, "Ruge is a gentle child. Although he may have a bad temper, he is not the kind of person who would hit others over trivial matters."

"You must have done something wrong, so she got angry and hurt you. Don't be angry. Go back and apologize to her."

"Yes, I was very, very wrong. My son is thankful that she didn't go to our father to ask for the cancellation of the engagement."

Mu Gu lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in them. He felt that Xiao Ruge might never care about him again in this life. The only thing that made him feel relieved now was that their engagement was still there.

I don’t know if Xiao Ruge doesn’t care at all, or is busy with other things and hasn’t thought about this yet.

What should I do if she wants to cancel the engagement?

The more Mu Gu thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and he couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

Concubine Zhao didn't expect the matter to be so serious. Looking at her son's sad face, she sighed.
