Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 44 Held in the Palm of Your Hand
Xiao Ruge chuckled, "Anyone can say nice things, but I'm a pragmatic person. Only when I hold something in my hands can I feel at ease."
She took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a few pills, looked at the old woman and raised her eyebrows.
"Eat one. As long as you eat it, I will believe in your loyalty."
The old woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knew at a glance that this was not a good medicine and was most likely poison.
"Second Miss, you can't do this to us. We were sent by the old lady..."
"So what, old lady? Now in Ruyi Garden, I still have the final say. Tell me, if I go and tell my great-aunt tomorrow that you died suddenly, will she avenge you, an old slave, or will she just swallow her anger?"
After hearing these words, the faces of the maids and servants present changed again and again.
They are nothing but slaves, their indentures are held in the hands of others, they have no personal freedom at all, and their life or death is determined by the word of their masters.
"Second Miss, if I take this medicine, will you not kill me?"
At this time, a little maid looked up at Xiao Ruge. Although there was still fear in her eyes, the fact that she could ask this question showed her courage.
Xiao Ruge nodded, "This is a poison. You need to take the antidote once a month. As long as you are obedient, there will be an antidote every month."
The little maid took a deep breath, walked past the old woman who was talking, and was the first to take the pill.
The others were all shocked when they saw this and huddled aside to watch, fearing that Xiao Ruge was lying to them.
What if this is a poison that will cause your intestines to burst if you eat it?
What if the second lady doesn't keep her word?
All kinds of unexpected events made them hesitate to move forward, and they all wanted to find a pawn to test the waters.
Now that this little maid had taken the lead, they couldn't help but look at her with concern to see how she would react.
The little maid thought that she would feel unbearable pain after taking the medicine, but it didn't happen. She felt no different from usual.
"What's your name? How old are you?"
Xiao Ruge looked at the little maid with admiration.
"My servant Xiao Shuang is fourteen years old."
The little maid kowtowed to Xiao Ruge and answered respectfully.
Xiao Ruge nodded, "Baizhi, Xiaoshuang will be responsible for sweeping my house from now on, so you should take care of her more."
Bai Zhi has been busy alone these days, and she is exhausted. Xiao Ruge has long wanted to find a maid to serve her closely, and now she has an opportunity.
Xiaoshuang didn't expect such a good thing to happen. She was stunned for a moment and then kowtowed to express her gratitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Xiao Shuang will serve you wholeheartedly in the future!"
Xiao Ruge waved her hand, motioning Xiaoshuang to stand next to Bai Zhi, and then looked at the rest of the people with a cold face.
"I'm not a violent person. If you guys insist on holding out here, I don't mind using some tough measures!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Song and Bai Yang took two steps forward, grabbed the old woman in front, pinched her mouth and fed her a pill.
The old woman was so frightened that she reached out to cover her throat and tried to vomit. Bai Yang slashed at the back of her neck with a knife, and her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
When everyone saw that there was no way to escape, a few clever ones immediately crawled over, picked up the pills and ate them. Although the others were slower, they all took the poison in the end.
Xiao Ruge patted her empty hands and said with a smile, "That's right. As long as you behave yourself, I won't treat you unfairly. Remember, come to me on the 15th of every month to get the antidote. If you miss the deadline and die from the poison, don't blame me."
After dealing with these servants, Xiao Ruge returned to her room. Bai Song and Bai Yang were like two door gods, guarding the door of the dormitory.
The maids and old women who had taken the poison all looked depressed, but they did not neglect their work. They were just a little depressed.
Mu Gu woke up the next morning. He was still a little dazed when he opened his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he felt his throat was dry and uncomfortable.
"woke up?"
Xiao Ruge was leaning against the head of the bed reading a sketchbook when she felt the person next to her breathing was different. She glanced and saw that the person's eyes were open.
"water."
The weak voice sounded a little ethereal. Xiao Ruge sighed after hearing it.
He reached out and poured a glass of water from the small table beside him, then held Mu Gu's head and gently fed him the water.
While feeding him, he kept muttering, "Did I owe you something in my previous life? You always come to cause trouble for me!"
After drinking the water, Mu Gu became more energetic. Hearing her say this, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her.
"I don't know about your past life, but you should owe me this life."
"When did I owe you anything? Tell me! Tell me!"
Xiao Ruge squinted at him, and angrily took the small cup in her hand and hit Mu Gu's forehead, causing Mu Gu to cry out in pain.
"You are too cruel. I am still injured! And you hit me!"
Mu Gu stared at Xiao Ruge with his innocent peach blossom eyes, looking at her resentfully, as if she were some unforgivable Chen Shimei who had abandoned his family and children.
"Don't act like that here! You were burned like that yesterday, and you still had the energy to take advantage of me. What's wrong with hitting you today?"
This guy's grip was really strong. He hurt her when he held her last night.
Mu Gu said nothing and reached out to hook Xiao Ruge's fingers, but was slapped away by Xiao Ruge.
"Even though you sleep in my bed, it doesn't mean you are mine, so Seventh Prince, please respect yourself, understand?"
"Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you? Why are you saying this to me instead?"
Mu Gu propped himself up and sat up with great effort. He found that his clothes had been changed into clean ones, and his heart felt warmed.
"Did the Second Miss help me change my clothes?"
"You think too much. You look so heavy that I can't move you. Mo Yi helped you change it!"
Xiao Ruge quickly distanced herself from the matter, then asked Bai Zhi to bring in the porridge that was warm outside. She placed a small table on the bed and let Mu Gu eat by himself.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Mu Gu's eyes, and he sighed as he scooped a spoonful of porridge.
"It's okay. Anyway, the Second Miss has seen me naked before. It's only a matter of time before she takes responsibility for me."
Bai Zhi was refilling the teapot with water. When she heard this, she lost her grip on the tea set and it fell onto the table.
Xiao Ruge took a look and continued to flip through her notebook.
"Don't talk nonsense. Doctors are kind-hearted. In the eyes of doctors like us, men and women are the same. If I were to be responsible for every patient I treated, wouldn't I end up with a whole yard of men and women?"
"That's different. After all, I am still a prince, and the Second Miss still has to take responsibility!"
Mu Gu reached out to take the tea handed to him by Bai Zhi, and nodded to her with a smile.
Bai Zhi bowed her head with a stiff expression, then turned around and walked out cautiously.
"Tsk, look how scared you are of Bai Zhi, be careful with your words next time!"
