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

Speaking of this, Princess Jianing couldn't help but curl her lips and said shyly, "I listened to you a few days ago and didn't go to find Brother Duanmu, but today Brother Duanmu came to find me!"

Xiao Ruge's smile remained unchanged, and she just asked her softly, "Are you happy?"

"Well, happy!"

Although there were only two short words, they still expressed Princess Jianing's feelings for Duanmu Ling. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so excited just because that man came to see her.

"What is the princess going to do?"

In her past and present lives, Xiao Ruge has only experienced two relationships. One was with Lu Yu, but she felt that it was not real love, but just mutual exploitation and cooperation.

The other relationship was with Mu Gu, which was not much better than the one with Lu Yu.

And now another problem has arisen between the two of them, and she currently doesn't know how to solve it.

However, this did not prevent her from providing emotional support to Princess Jianing.

"I don't know either. Actually, I was very happy when Brother Duanmu came to see me, but after being happy, I felt a little dissatisfied. I always wanted him to be nicer to me."

Finally, Princess Jianing sighed in distress, held her chin up, looked at Xiao Ruge and asked, "Ruge, am I too ungrateful?"

Xiao Ruge didn't rush to answer this question, but asked another question.

"What did Master Duanmu say to you when he came to see you?"

Princess Jianing shook her head. "She didn't say anything. She just said she came to see what I was doing."

"That's it?"

When Princess Jianing nodded, Xiao Ruge laughed out loud.

"It seems that Duanmu Ling still doesn't realize his feelings for you. In this case, it is better for the princess not to respond, so as not to return to the past situation."

"Really? But Brother Duanmu has come to see me, I must have a place in his heart, I'm afraid..."

"Princess, actually Duanmu Ling still feels the same way towards you as he does towards his neighbor's sister. It's just that you haven't visited him in the past two days, so he is a little uncomfortable. Do you want this kind of feeling, Princess?"

Hearing Xiao Ruge's words, Princess Jianing shook her head again, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "No, what I want is for Brother Duanmu to treat me as his beloved woman, not the girl next door!"

"So, don't respond too much to Duanmu Ling. Just treat him as the brother next door for now."

Reaching out to refill Princess Jianing's tea, Xiao Ruge felt that as long as Princess Jianing was obedient, it would only be a matter of time before Duanmu Ling was captured.

There was affection between the two originally, but this affection was obscured by the friendship they had grown up together, making it difficult to see clearly.

What she had to do was to clear away the hazy fog between them.

Although her own relationship is still a mess, it does not prevent her from hoping that the people around her can have a good marriage.

After Xiao Ruge's advice, Princess Jianing calmed down from her originally excited mood, and continued to treat Duanmu Ling coldly after returning.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart that Duanmu Ling would soon discover his good points and fall in love with him.

After sending Princess Jianing away, Xiao Ruge's life returned to normal. Apart from receiving letters from Qizhou every three days, she heard that the war situation in the north was tense and the emperor was going to send a prince to supervise the battle and boost morale.

This time is different from the last time to deliver food and grass. If necessary, the prince who goes to supervise the battle may go to the battlefield.

So for a while, who to send became the target of competition among several princes.

In fact, the only two people who were fighting for this matter were Mu Huan and Mu Bo, because Mu Gu didn't want to leave the capital at all.

After all, the misunderstanding between him and Xiao Ruge has not been resolved. If he leaves at this time, the rift between them will only get deeper and deeper, which is not conducive to their relationship.

By the time things were settled, it was already late February, and it was finally decided that Mu Huan would go.

Firstly, he is now the eldest prince, and it is time for him to accumulate military merits. Secondly, the emperor is concerned about the dominance of the Mu Bo family. Although there is Mu Gu in the front, the power must be balanced among the three parties to be stable.

So when Ao Rong was more than seven months pregnant, Mu Huan set out for the northern border again.

Xiao Ruge also went to see him off on the day. When Ao Rong saw her, she quickly held her hand tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes, and smiled, "Ruge is here too!"

"Well, Third Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have sent people to secretly protect Third Brother!"

With Xiao Ruge's words, Ao Rong felt relieved a lot of her worries. She thanked her softly, and the two of them stood together, watching the team go away.

……

The weather in February is just right for lush grass and singing birds. There is already some greenery in the suburbs. Mu Gu is riding on horseback, taking Mo Yi and others with him and is rushing towards the capital.

Behind him were two horse-drawn carriages, on which were piled a lot of prey of all sizes, both dead and alive.

Looking closely, there were actually two living sika deer with their limbs trapped, and they cried out every time the carriage bumped.

A few days after Mu Huan left, Mu Gu went out of the city to hunt.

The emperor did not blame Mu Gu for his behavior. Instead, he showed him love and only told him to be careful before letting him leave the city.

In the sunlight, Xiao Ruge was writing a letter to Sun Yan.

After nearly a month of mutual boycott, the grain merchants in Qizhou finally couldn't bear it anymore and prepared to sell their grain to Sun Yan.

This sign appeared two days ago. At that time, Xiao Ruge replied to Sun Yan that he would purchase the grain at a cost 20% lower than the average price of grain. If they agreed, he would buy it. If they disagreed, he would keep waiting.

Sun Yan wrote to me today, saying that several companies agreed to take the painful action, while a few others are still resisting stubbornly.

In fact, the two sides have been fighting until today. Even with the grain that Mu Gu bought from Jiangnan as a reserve, Sun Yan does not have much surplus grain. Purchasing that grain at this time can just make up for the shortfall.

As for the remaining ones who were still resisting, Xiao Ruge directly wrote in the letter that she would buy them out at half price when they could no longer hold on.

As the weather gets warmer, the first spring rain has already fallen in Qizhou City. If they don't sell the crops, they will have no choice but to wait for the crops to go moldy when the temperature rises again.

If the grain gets moldy and spoils, it is better to sell it at a low price and get back as much of the cost as possible.

After explaining the next things clearly, Xiao Ruge asked someone to send the letter out, and at the same time asked Bai Yang to tell Old Man Sun to go to Jiangnan to purchase another batch of grain and send it to Qizhou.

Qizhou is located in the south and has a warm climate. In addition to growing rice, people can also grow another crop of short-term grain for the autumn harvest after the harvest.

What she had to do was to ensure that the people of Qizhou had enough rice to solve their food and clothing problems during this period of food shortage.

"Miss, the prince is here, and he has brought many gifts. He is at the door."

At this time, Butler Yang came hurriedly to report and said that he wanted to invite Mu Gu in, but Mu Gu refused to enter the mansion and only told Xiao Ruge to go out and see him.
