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

Concubine Chun's method of winning people over is much more clever than Concubine Rong's.

She knew that Xiao Ruge would not agree to marry Mu Huan, so she planned to use family affection to bind her, which would bring the two closer together without making Xiao Ruge feel disgusted.

But Xiao Ruge was still so frightened that she kept saying she didn't dare. Finally, under Concubine Chun's somewhat regretful gaze, she followed Mu Huan out of Shangyun Palace.

"What mother said is what I want to say as well. If you encounter any difficulties in the Xiao Mansion, you can come to me. You can keep this token."

Mu Huan pulled out a small token from his body and handed it to Xiao Ruge, smiling gently.

Xiao Ruge looked at it and smiled tenderly, "No merit, no reward. Besides, I have already received so many good things from Concubine Chun, so let's forget about this token!"

Mu Huan did not force it. Seeing that Xiao Ruge really did not want to accept it, he hung the token back around his waist.

"That's fine, but remember, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will try my best to help you!"

"Okay, I'll take note of what the Third Prince said."

If someone shows kindness to you again and again and you still don't appreciate it, you would be being ungrateful.

So Xiao Ruge smiled and nodded.

When the two were at the palace gate, they happened to meet Mu Gu who was leaving the palace.

Mu Huan, who had a kind face just now, instantly stopped smiling when he saw Mu Gu.

"Seventh brother, are you coming to the palace to see Concubine Zhao?"

"Yes, mother said she wanted to eat the peach blossom cake from Yipinzhai, so I bought some specially for her."

Mu Gu smiled respectfully and glanced at Xiao Ruge as if he didn't know her.

"No matter how delicious the food outside the palace is, it is not as clean as the imperial kitchen. Be careful not to get sick from eating it. In the future, my seventh brother should bring less food from outside the palace to Concubine Zhao!"

Mu Huan sounded like he was teaching a junior a lesson, but Mu Gu didn't seem to hear him and just nodded with a smile.

"Third brother, are you going out of the palace too? Why don't we go together?"

Mu Gu's eyes swept over Xiao Ruge, which immediately aroused Mu Huan's vigilance. He said coldly, "No need. I want to send Miss Xiao back home. It's not on the way to your Prince's Mansion."

"Then I won't bother Third Brother and Second Miss Xiao."

Mu Gu nodded to the two of them, jumped on his horse, and the man and the horse quickly disappeared at the palace gate.

After being interrupted by Mu Gu, Mu Huan lost interest in talking. Xiao Ruge pulled Bai Zhi onto the carriage, and the group headed towards the Xiao Mansion.

……

Xiao Mingzhi was released, which was beyond the expectation of Old Lady Xiao. In her opinion, someone must sacrifice himself to rescue Xiao Mingzhi.

After questioning, it was learned that it was Xiao Ruge who pleaded for mercy in front of the emperor, and the emperor released him.

Lin chuckled after hearing this, "No matter what, it's good that big brother is back. Some people thought Ruge would kick someone when he's down, but who knew that she went there to beg for mercy! You really judge a gentleman by your own standards!"

He glanced at Xu and Xiao Mingyue with a pair of eyes full of disdain.

Xu was left speechless by Lin's words. Just when she didn't know what to say, Xiao Mingyue spoke slowly.

"After all, Second Sister is not from our bloodline. She is quite wary of us. You should all be able to see this. It is natural for me to speculate like that. Why does Third Aunt have to make insinuations here?"

"Hmph, don't be dirty yourself and think everyone else is dirty!"

Lin was feeling angry but had no place to vent it. At this moment, Xiao Mingyue bumped into her. She was about to argue with the girl with all her might, but was stopped by Old Madam Xiao.

"Okay, just stop saying a few words!"

Lin was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Xiao's favoritism. In the past, as it did not harm the third house, Lin had always tolerated it, but this time the situation was different.

Xiao Jinzhi had already told her what Old Madam Xiao meant, which made her so angry that she almost ran to Ronghui Hall to make a scene.

In the end, it was Xiao Jinzhi who stopped her and asked her to wait a little longer. He felt that Xiao Ruge would not watch the Xiao family collapse like this, and only then did she suppress her anger.

Thinking about the vicious intentions of Mrs. Xiao, Lin became more determined to leave this home.

Xiao Jinzhi, who had been somewhat hesitant before, was completely disappointed by Old Lady Xiao after this incident.

"Madam, the Third Prince has brought the Second Miss back!"

A maid ran in hurriedly. When the Xiao family heard it, they immediately walked towards the door.

Mu Huan stood in front of the Xiao family's gate with his hands behind his back, while Xiao Ruge stood aside with her eyes lowered.

She looked up when she heard hurried footsteps.

Wow, except for Xiao Qianqian who was not in good health and a few boys who were at school and not at home, all the rest of the Xiao family members came, even Xiao Mingzhi who was released.

Seeing Mu Huan, Xiao Mingzhi hurriedly knelt down with his family to pay his respects.

"This humble official and his family have come to see the Third Prince!"

Mu Huan turned around and looked at the people kneeling on the ground. He didn't rush to ask them to get up. Instead, he chuckled at Xiao Mingzhi.

"Sir Xiao, although Miss Xiao II has pleaded for you regarding the appropriation of the general's property, your corruption and abuse of power have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Father wants you to stay at home and reflect on your mistakes for a while. When the investigation is complete, you can come to court again!"

Xiao Mingzhi was sweating profusely. He raised his sleeve to wipe it off and quickly replied, "Yes, I will obey your order."

"Oh, by the way, and I hope that things like this will not happen again in the future, Madam Xiao, do you understand?"

Mu Huan said this directly to Old Madam Xiao, who was so frightened that she kowtowed immediately.

"Understood, understood. I will definitely rectify the family tradition and sell out all those dog slaves who deceive their superiors and lie to their subordinates!

Mu Huan did not expose her, but just snorted and said to Xiao Ruge: "Then I'll go first, don't forget, come to me if you have any problems!"

"Yes, Your Highness, walk slowly."

Xiao Ruge knelt down to greet Mu Huan and sent him away with a smile.

Only after Mu Gu rode away on his horse did the Xiao family stand up.

"Ruge, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise the Xiao family would be in big trouble!"

Lin was the first to step forward and held Xiao Ruge's hand with a look of gratitude on her face.

"What are you saying, Aunt San? We are all family, and this is what I should do."

Xiao Ruge smiled and patted the back of Lin's hand, but she didn't know that during the time she entered the palace, Old Madam Xiao had already prepared to push the third room out as a shield.

For Xiao Jinzhi, this was a life-saving grace.

Although Old Lady Xiao was still somewhat dissatisfied, when she thought of Mu Huan's attitude towards Xiao Ruge just now, she immediately felt a little wary and a smile appeared on her face.

"Ruge has been in the palace for a long time, and my aunt is very worried about her. Come with me to Ronghui Hall to talk to her!"

She pulled Xiao Ruge from Lin's hand and dragged her back to Ronghui Hall, but was rejected by Xiao Ruge.

"Grandmother, I have been to the palace and have spent a long time talking with Concubine Chun and Concubine Rong. I am really tired, so I will not accompany you to Ronghui Hall to talk."
