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

Mrs. Zhu San glared at her son for a long time, then stood up angrily and tried to pull her son's ears.

"You are such a loser. What's so good about Xiao Ruge? She beats you up every time she sees you. How can you like her?"

Zhu Chengxi nimbly dodged his mother's hand, slid in front of Old Madam Zhu like a loach, and hugged the old lady's legs and acted coquettishly.

"Grandma, although Xiao Ruge is a bit fierce, she is a good person. If it weren't for her last time, I would have died long ago. She is my lifesaver, and I will marry her!"

These words made Mrs. Zhu San so angry that she almost fainted. She wanted to rush up and slap her son a few times to wake up his confused little head.

It’s better for the old lady to be calmer. She lowered her head to look at her little grandson beside her legs and sighed.

"Xiao Liu, let's wait and see about this. Xiao Ruge's identity is sensitive. Both the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are interested in her."

"Although our Zhu family is a noble family, compared with the royal family, we are nothing but a gnat trying to shake a tree!"

Zhu Chengxi was just a little spoiled, not really stupid. After listening to the old lady's analysis, he pursed his lips and kept silent.

Madam Zhu comforted him a few more words, and only then did he go back unhappy.

As soon as the others left, Mrs. Zhu San sighed and said that she didn't know what sin she had committed to make her son fall in love with a tigress.

Madam Zhu glared at her and shouted, "Alright, who are you complaining to?"

Madam Zhu San was immediately obedient after being scolded, "My daughter-in-law didn't mean anything else, she just thought Xiao Ruge was a disaster, she actually harmed my son!"

Old Madam Zhu also felt so, but when she thought about the last time her grandson was poisoned, she felt a little grateful to Xiao Ruge.

The person who poisoned the girl was caught on the same day. She was a beautiful girl in Zhu Chengxi's yard. Zhu Chengxi brought her back from outside because he was attracted by her beauty.

But the little girl was also tough. After she knew the truth was exposed, she committed suicide by taking poison. Once she died, it would be difficult to find out the real murderer behind the scenes.

But it was not without gain. The maid who shared the same room with the little girl said that she seemed to have an older sister at home.

Mrs. Zhu has already sent someone to investigate, and the rest is just a matter of time.

Thinking of these things about her youngest grandson, Old Lady Zhu sighed, wondering what the chances were of helping her youngest grandson marry Xiao Ruge home.

Xiao Ruge naturally didn't know that Zhu Chengxi had been thinking about her. After returning to the Xiao Mansion, she delivered the roast duck to Old Madam Xiao, chatted with her for a while, and then returned to Ruyi Garden.

I went to see Xiao Mingyue in the afternoon, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.

"Please forgive me, Miss Second. Our young lady has just taken medicine and gone to bed."

Xiao Ruge looked at the old woman's smiling face and glanced towards the quiet main room.

"Then I will come to see the fourth sister tomorrow. I brought her some supplements. When she wakes up, tell her."

She didn't force it. Since the other person said he was sleeping, she would just assume that Xiao Mingyue was sleeping.

She motioned Xiaoshuang to hand the things to the old woman, and then she went back with the maid.

"Bai Yang, go help me check what Lu Yu is doing recently."

As soon as he returned to Ruyi Garden, Xiao Ruge called Bai Yang in.

Bai Yang heard the response and went down to investigate.

The reason why she asked someone to check on Lu Yu was because she always felt that Xiao Mingyue was not in Mingyue Garden, especially the glance just now, which made her feel that the entire Mingyue Garden was weird.

Even if Xiao Mingyue was sleeping, what was Chunzhi doing?

She didn't seem to have seen Haruji just now.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Chunzhi is serving in the house at any time, but she is more inclined to believe that both the master and the servant are not in Mingyue Garden.

Just as Xiao Ruge guessed, Xiao Mingyue was indeed not in Mingyue Garden. She was hugging Lu Yu at this moment.

Ever since they were caught in the act in a tavern last time, the two changed their meeting place.

In order to meet Lu Yu, Xiao Mingyue used her private money to rent such a small courtyard. The two agreed to meet here every five days.

In fact, today was not the agreed meeting time. The reason why the two of them appeared here was entirely because Old Lady Xiao's decision made Xiao Mingyue feel a sense of crisis, so she temporarily asked Lu Yu to come out.

"Brother Lu, when are you going to come to my house to propose marriage? It's not a good idea for us to always meet in secret like this!"

Xiao Mingyue felt somewhat resentful towards Lu Yu in her heart. She knew clearly that she liked him, but he kept making excuses, always acknowledging that a meeting was ok but not anything else. This made Xiao Mingyue wonder, was he still thinking about Xiao Ruge?

When Lu Yu heard Xiao Mingyue bring up this matter again, a hint of impatience flashed across his eyes, but he still coaxed her patiently.

"I have performed well in the army recently and will be promoted soon. When my rank rises a level, I will go to the Xiao family to propose marriage, okay?"

Speaking of this matter, Lu Yu was filled with anger.

I had clearly already used all my connections to get the vacant position, but somehow I was suddenly replaced by someone else.

He had spent most of his savings on this vacancy. Now, he had not only failed to get the official position, but also lost all his money.

Although my boss said that he would be the first to take up a vacancy in the future, opportunities are hard to come by and it is not easy to wait for a suitable position.

In addition, some people whom he had made friends with before also died inexplicably.

He felt as if everything was directed against him recently. Nothing he wanted could be accomplished!

Xiao Mingyue could hear his perfunctory tone and couldn't help but tears up in her eyes.

"Brother Lu, my great-aunt is helping me choose a marriage partner. She also asked me to go to the Third Prince's residence with Xiao Ruge today. The purpose is for me to get to know the Third Prince better."

Having said this, she choked up and shed tears. She looked up at Lu Yu with resentment and aggrieved eyes.

"But I don't want to marry the Third Prince. I just want to be Brother Lu's wife, so I used some special methods to make myself feel unwell, so I didn't go to the Third Prince's Mansion."

If Xiao Qianqian was still alive, Old Lady Xiao would not have focused all her attention on her.

But now Xiao Qianqian had gone to southern Yunnan with Xiao Jinzhi, and she had no say in Xiao Ruge's marriage, so she could only turn her attention to Xiao Mingyue.

She wanted to use Xiao Mingyue to help the Xiao family advance further, but Xiao Mingyue knew it clearly.

If possible, Old Madam Xiao would even be willing to let Xiao Mingyue marry someone else as a second wife. As long as it was beneficial to the Xiao family, there was nothing she couldn't do.

Xiao Mingyue knew too well how greedy Old Madam Xiao was.

So she now urgently hopes that Lu Yu can go to the Xiao family to propose marriage as soon as possible.

It’s a pity that after hearing all this, Lu Yu just wiped the tears from her face with heartache.

"Good Mingyue, wait a little longer. I am not a high-ranking official now. Even if I go to propose marriage, your father and grandmother may not agree."
