In fact, he met her when Xiao Ruge returned to Beijing that day.

However, at that time, one of them was in the private room on the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, and the other was in the carriage. It was when Xiao Ruge inadvertently lifted the curtain to look outside that Mu Gu saw them.

He thought at that time that the woman was very beautiful.

The heroic look between Xiao Ruge's eyebrows made him feel that this woman should be a heroic and valiant woman.

In their later contacts, he discovered that Xiao Ruge was not only beautiful and heroic, but also scheming, like a little fox in lamb's clothing.

He had already begun to feel suspicious when the rumors about the Xiao family first began to circulate, so he conducted a secret investigation and discovered that there was indeed an invisible hand controlling everything behind the scenes.

Later, when someone impeached Xiao Mingzhi, he realized that it must be Xiao Ruge who did it.

After all, she is the biggest beneficiary in this matter.

Poor Mu Bo and Mu Huan have been played around by this little fox until now. It can be considered a lesson for their arrogance!

His eyes slowly moved to the corners of Xiao Ruge's slightly raised lips, and Mu Gu suddenly had the urge to kiss her.

Xiao Ruge didn't notice anything at first, but as Mu Gu's gaze became more and more persistent and passionate, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She raised her eyebrows, fed him the last sip of medicine, and then tapped Mu Gu's forehead with the porcelain spoon.

Although it was not very heavy, the muffled sound brought back Mu Gu's scattered thoughts.

Mu Gu was stunned by her. He covered his forehead and looked at her with confusion and innocence.

"Why did Miss Xiao hit me?"

Xiao Ruge snorted coldly, "You deserve a beating! If you stare at me like this again next time, I will dig your eyes out!"

She made a ferocious look and bent two fingers in front of his eyes.

But Mu Gu slowly grabbed her hand and said with a soft smile: "If the second lady likes this pair of eyes, you can take them away at any time."

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Xiao Ruge stared at the man in front of her who was smiling tenderly at her, and she even forgot that her hand was still held by him.

The smile on Mu Gu's lips widened. He grabbed Xiao Ruge's hand and rubbed it against his face, looking at her in a rogue manner.

"Will the second lady be willing to do so?"

Xiao Ruge came back to her senses, frowned, pulled her hand back, and snorted, "Shameless!"

She got up and left the room, never to return.

Instead, Sun Yan came in, helped Mu Gu put on his clothes, and helped him lie back on the bed.

Looking at Sun Yan, who was busy with his work and had a cold face, Mu Gu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is your young lady?"

"gone back."

Sun Yan was very frugal with words, and was about to leave after saying these three words, but was stopped by Mu Gu.

"Please take this jade pendant to the Seventh Prince's Mansion and ask them to come pick me up."

Raising his hand and throwing a jade pendant to Sun Yan, Mu Gu closed his eyes and rested.

Sun Yan frowned and tightly grasped the jade pendant. Although he was reluctant, he finally went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

In the second half of the night, Mu Gu was taken away quietly. Sun Yan looked at the prescription in his hand and did not give it to him until the man was out of sight.

After returning to the prince's mansion, Mu Gu asked someone to pretend to be him, and went out of the city when the city gate had just opened. He only told others that he had decided to go out hunting on impulse.

"Mo Yi, go check who the Fifth Prince contacted in June and July last year."

"Yes!"

Thinking of what he had overheard before, Mu Gu's brows twisted into a knot.

If Mu Bo really did that, then he is guilty of a heinous crime!

……

Xiao Ruge sneaked back to the Xiao Mansion before dawn, and Bai Zhi was still guarding the door.

"Is there anything to eat?"

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Xiao Ruge was tired and hungry.

Fortunately, Bai Zhi had the habit of preparing midnight snacks for her. When she heard her say this, she immediately ran outside and brought back two plates of snacks.

Xiao Ruge ate half a plate of snacks to fill her stomach before going to bed.

Although the Xiao family is not a prominent family, Old Lady Xiao has a lot of rules and requires everyone to pay their respects to her every day.

Because she came back too late last night, Xiao Ruge asked Bai Zhi to say that she was sick and couldn't get up, and she would not come to pay her respects in the next few days to avoid being sick.

Yesterday, Mrs. Xiao was beaten by Mu Huan. When he heard that she was sick, he immediately brought a doctor to Ruyi Garden to treat her.

"He was fine, why did he fall ill all of a sudden?"

Although Xiao Ruge was impatient, she still pretended to be weak and smiled at Old Mrs. Xiao.

"Maybe it's because I was too cool last night and was blown by the wind. I have a headache when I wake up this morning."

As she spoke, she looked at the doctor brought by Old Lady Xiao.

Oh, it’s someone I know!

Isn’t this Pei Yun, the disciple of my senior brother in Jishidiang?

Pei Yun pretended not to know Xiao Ruge, whispered an apology, and then lowered his eyes to check her pulse.

Old Mrs. Xiao waited for a while, then asked anxiously, "Doctor, what disease does my niece have?"

Pei Yun glanced at her and replied, "Second Miss Xiao was very depressed and couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart. She was blown by the night wind and fell ill."

"Is it serious?"

Lin was the one who cared about Xiao Ruge the most. When she heard Pei Yun say this, she hurriedly asked.

"This disease is not serious, but it is also a bit tricky."

These words confused Old Lady Xiao, and she asked him what he meant.

Pei Yun sighed, "Miss Xiao's illness is mainly due to her heart knot. As long as she is in a good mood, the illness will naturally be cured."

Old Mrs. Xiao looked a little unnatural. She then asked someone to respectfully follow Pei Yun to get the medicine, and then she turned around and looked at Xiao Ruge with concern.

"Child, are you not used to living in your great-aunt's house? Why don't you tell your great-aunt about your worries? Look, you've been holding it in for so long!"

Xiao Ruge sighed, "My great-aunt treated me very well, but when I thought about the servants in the old house being sold, I felt bad..."

Tears came suddenly, and before she could finish her words, Xiao Ruge choked and burst into tears.

Old Madam Xiao patted her hands and said guiltily, "It's all because of my great-grandmother's inability to discipline the servants. Such a mistake happened. Don't worry, I will have someone call the people from the old house back in a while, and I will definitely let you get rid of this bad breath!"

"Thank you, Grandmother, for your protection!"

Xiao Ruge showed gratitude and mentioned the servants who had been sold. Old Mrs. Xiao said that they would definitely be found back. Only then did she stop crying.

After watching Xiao Ruge finish drinking the medicine, Old Lady Xiao told her to have a good rest and then left with her people.

Bai Zhi ran in at this time and whispered to Xiao Ruge: "Mr. Pei said that the medicines he prescribed for you are all tonics, so you can drink them without worry!"

Xiao Ruge nodded and couldn't help yawning.

"I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep a little longer, you keep an eye on me!"

Bai Zhi agreed, tucked the quilt in for her, and went to wait outside the door.
