Xiao Mingyue was not willing to be outdone and immediately responded with two sentences.

Xiao Ruge snorted and laughed, "I don't know if I'm a laughing stock, but I do know that some people secretly meet with men outside their family. I saw it for real!"

When Xiao Ruge mentioned this, Xiao Mingyue's heart skipped a beat. She immediately glared and said, "General Lu and I just happened to meet that day. How come you say it's so unbearable?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to explain? Did I say it was you?"

Xiao Ruge sneered and pulled Xiao Qianqian into the house.

Xiao Mingyue stood at the door and stomped her feet in anger. She glared at the two men's backs fiercely, then turned around and quickly left Ruyi Garden.

When Xiao Qianqian saw her leave, she turned around and asked Xiao Ruge in shock, "Second sister, did Fourth sister really have a secret meeting with a stranger?"

"That day I went out to cut new clothes and saw Xiao Mingyue and Lu Yu standing together."

Xiao Ruge, who was standing next to her, didn't say much, just stated a fact, which shocked Xiao Qianqian so much that her eyes widened.

"Does Grandmother know about this?"

Xiao Ruge shook her head as she washed herself, "I guess they don't know, otherwise they wouldn't have secretly met outside."

Xiao Qianqian frowned more and more, glanced at Bai Zhi who was serving, and asked in a low voice: "Second sister, should we tell grandma about this? What if Fourth Sister makes a mistake and does something out of the ordinary?"

"Don't worry, we don't need to ask for this. If Xiao Mingyue is really interested in Lu Yu, she will tell you herself."

Xiao Ruge comforted Xiao Qianqian with a few words, and after they finished dressing up, the two sisters went to Ronghui Hall together.

After Xiao Mingyue came out of Ruyi Garden, she went to Ronghui Hall. At this time, she had made Old Madam Xiao laugh continuously. The two sisters looked at each other, went in and paid their respects respectfully.

"Ruge and Qianqian are here too! It just so happens that the kitchen made some honey milk soup this morning, so they can all stay and have breakfast before going back!"

Old Mrs. Xiao smiled and waved to the two men. The two men walked over and sat down below the old lady, chatting with her.

Xiao Mingyue seemed to be afraid that Xiao Ruge would say something she shouldn't, so she kept pestering Old Lady Xiao to chat with her, pouring out nice words like they were free, and making the old lady very happy.

After Xu and Lin arrived, Old Lady Xiao asked people to serve the meal.

After breakfast, when everyone was about to leave, General Zhenyuan's Mansion sent an invitation, saying that a flower-viewing banquet would be held in three days and Xiao Ruge was invited to attend.

As for the other members of the Xiao family, they were not even mentioned on the invitation, which made Old Mrs. Xiao a little unhappy.

"When we were leaving, our Madam told me that I must personally deliver this invitation to Miss Xiao Er. She also told me that you can bring anyone you want. We will be happy no matter who you bring!"

The nanny at the general's mansion had a kind smile on her face, but the words she spoke were a bit overbearing.

Yao gave the decision-making power to Xiao Ruge, most likely to take revenge for the fact that Old Madam Xiao did not take her to the last garden party!

Thinking of how her grandfather often mentioned General Zhenyuan when he was alive, Xiao Ruge smiled.

"Thank you for the trip, Madam. Please go back and tell the general's wife that I will be there on time in three days!"

"Thank you, Second Miss. I'll take my leave now!"

The nanny bowed to Old Madam Xiao, turned around and walked out. Xiao Ruge quickly asked Bai Zhi to follow her to see her off.

Xiao Ruge held the invitation in her hand, turned to look at Old Madam Xiao, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Fifth Sister rarely goes out of the house. This time I want to take her and Third Aunt with me. Is that okay?"

When Lin heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. Without waiting for Old Lady Xiao to speak, she smiled and said, "That's great. Qianqian is a little introverted because of her health. I'm thinking about how to get her to go out more!"

Lin interrupted Old Lady Xiao, which naturally made her a little unhappy.

But she had just had a disagreement with Xiao Ruge, and in order to ease the relationship, she couldn't refuse directly, so she pointed at Xiao Mingyue.

"Why don't you sisters go together? If anything happens, you can take care of each other!"

In fact, Lin was still following, so it didn’t matter whether Xiao Mingyue went or not, but Old Madam Xiao just didn’t want Xiao Ruge to be too happy.

Xiao Ruge lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Mingyue with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll take Qianqian out this afternoon to buy some headwear and make two sets of clothes, so that when we go out, people won't laugh at our Xiao family's daughter for being ignorant!"

"How can you, a junior, pay for this?"

As she spoke, Old Lady Xiao waved to Aunt Qian beside her.

"Go to the account office and withdraw some money for Ruge. Tell her to bring her two sisters with her this afternoon and buy what she needs. Don't skimp on it!"

"Thank you very much, Grandmother!"

Xiao Ruge bowed to Old Lady Xiao with a smile, and Xiao Mingyue and Xiao Qianqian followed closely behind.

Even though Old Mrs. Xiao was so heartbroken that she was bleeding, she could only put on a forced smile and let the people leave.

Lin happily came over to talk to Xiao Ruge. When she heard that Xiao Qianqian was going to have lunch at Ruyi Garden at noon, she nodded immediately.

"I know you sisters have something to talk about in private, Qianqian, just come back before dinner!"

Look, it’s good to follow Xiao Ruge. It’s only been a few days and she has already gained all these benefits for her daughter!

Except during the New Year, if the women in the Xiao family want to buy jewelry or clothes, they have to wait for the permission of Old Madam Xiao, and they will not buy too much.

This time, I bought jewelry and made clothes. It's the first time ever.

Seeing how Lin was trying to curry favor with Xiao Ruge, Xu couldn't help but snort.

"Third sister-in-law, I advise you to open your eyes. Some people are rebellious and disrespectful. Don't let them bring you into trouble!"

Lin didn't care and snorted, "Second sister-in-law, it's my business to make friends with someone, so you don't need to worry about it."

Afterwards, he followed Xiao Ruge to Ruyi Garden, which made Xu and Xiao Mingyue extremely angry.

As soon as she returned to Mingyue Garden, Xu started cursing.

"That bitch Lin usually relies on her family's high position to suppress me in everything. Now she even instigates her daughter to curry favor with Xiao Ruge. What a lackey!"

Xiao Mingyue poured her a cup of tea and gently advised: "Okay, mother, don't be angry. No matter how arrogant Third Aunt is, she is still suppressed by Grandmother. She can't do anything!"

Xiao Mingyue wanted to laugh when she thought about how Lin had worried so much about Xiao Qianqian's marriage in her previous life and ended up marrying her daughter to a merchant.

But then she remembered her own affairs and couldn't help but reach out and pull Xu.

"Mom, I heard that grandma is helping us find a husband recently. Is this true?"

Speaking of this, Xu sighed, "Yes, what a good opportunity it was last time at Chengyang Marquis' Mansion! But it was ruined by Xiao Ruge!"

In Xu's eyes, the Chengyang Marquisate was the best in-law that the Xiao family could get, but she completely ignored Zhu Chengxi's character.
