But she felt really uncomfortable, so she thought about it, pulled up the quilt and lay back down.

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Bai Zhi didn't disturb her. Instead, she let down the bed curtains again and stood outside the door to prevent anyone from disturbing her.

After sleeping for a whole morning, Xiao Ruge finally felt a little more energetic.

When she got up, she found that the peony jade pendant had reappeared next to her pillow, and she knew that the bastard Mu Gu had run into her room again in the middle of the night.

"Bai Song, find a few more people to guard my house. If you see anyone acting suspiciously at night, kick them out!"

Bai Song didn't know what was going on, but seeing that the young lady looked unhappy, he immediately agreed, turned around and ran out to ask Mr. Sun for the person.

After lunch, Xiao Ruge took a carriage to the farm and told Old Man Sun what he had thought of in the morning. Old Man Sun nodded immediately.

"Also, it would be best if we could arrange a few people in the palace so that we can be the first to know any news in the palace."

Listening to Xiao Ruge's request, Old Man Sun thought for a moment, "This may not be easy. Generally, palace maids and eunuchs who enter the palace have to start from the lowest positions."

If you want to get useful information, you have to work for the emperor, which is not something that can be done overnight.

Xiao Ruge also knew this, but she was not worried. Even if she couldn’t do anything on her side, didn’t she still have Mu Gu?

So she told Uncle Sun to go ahead and do his job, and when he had arranged the person, he should tell her the name and she would find a way to get that person to the emperor.

When Xiao Ruge returned to the city, he met Zhu Chengxi.

He and a group of friends had just returned from hunting. They were riding on horses, laughing and joking. Judging from the empty space on the horses' backs, they must have been out for fun.

She didn't want to bother with this guy, but Zhu Chengxi shamelessly followed the carriage and refused to leave.

"Ruge, Huiwei Lou has a new dish. I heard it tastes good. Can I invite you to try it?"

Hearing how he addressed her, Xiao Ruge frowned.

"Sixth Master Zhu, you and I are not close enough to call each other by our first names, so please respect yourself."

Xiao Ruge looked as if she was keeping people at a distance, which made Zhu Chengxi feel uncomfortable.

"Then what should I call you?"

Although he felt uncomfortable, he did not dare to say no, but asked Xiao Ruge.

"You can call me Miss Xiao Er."

"Then Miss Xiao Er, can I treat you to a meal?"

Zhu Chengxi took advantage of the situation and immediately asked with a smile.

"not good."

Xiao Ruge really didn't want to have anything to do with Zhu Chengxi.

But Zhu Chengxi persisted and refused to leave even after entering the city.

In the capital, there were few people who didn't know Zhu Chengxi. After all, this man was a walker of cats and dogs, and he would bring a group of people to bully people in the market when he had nothing to do. It was hard not to know him.

When everyone saw Zhu Chengxi following a carriage with a smile on his face, they were all shocked beyond words.

Some people were even curious about who could make Zhu Chengxi act like a lackey and always smile.

So some people followed behind until they saw Xiao Ruge getting off the carriage. Without even looking at the smiling Zhu Chengxi, she went straight into the gate of the Xiao family. Only then did everyone realize that the person sitting in the carriage was actually the second lady of the Xiao family.

Zhu Chengxi was not discouraged by Xiao Ruge's cold face. He smiled and said, "Then I will invite you to Huiweilou for dinner tomorrow!"

Seeing that Xiao Ruge didn't reply to him, he flicked his whip and left with a smile.

Not long after he left, Xiao Mingyue came back in a carriage.

She went to Jishidiang to see a doctor today, and the scene just now happened to fall into her eyes, which made her raise her eyebrows.

Didn’t Xiao Ruge look down on Zhu Chengxi?

Why are these two hooking up together again?

Xiao Mingyue didn't know what the two were up to, but she was still happy to see them being together.

So she called Chunzhi over and whispered a few words in her ear. Chunzhi nodded to show that she understood and turned to leave.

She got off the carriage and walked into the Xiao family's gate with a smile.

Early the next morning, Zhu Chengxi came to the door with a visiting card and asked for a meeting, specifically asking to see Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge saw him in the living room with a dark face and asked with disgust: "What do you want to do now?"

Zhu Chengxi smiled and waved the folding fan in his hand.

"I just want to invite Miss Xiao Er to dinner. I wonder if Miss Xiao Er will do me the honor?"

"No reward!"

Xiao Ruge refused directly, stood up and wanted to go back.

But Zhu Chengxi only wanted to be close to Xiao Ruge, and when he saw her about to leave, he reached out to pull her arm.

Xiao Ruge reflexively twisted his wrist with her backhand and applied a little force. With a "click" sound, Zhu Chengxi's arm was dislocated.

"what……"

Zhu Chengxi screamed in pain and tears came out.

Xiao Ruge let go, with a hint of teasing in his eyes and an apology without any sincerity.

"I'm so sorry, I used too much force and accidentally dislocated Mr. Zhu Liu's arm. You should go back and see a doctor as soon as possible, or else you might get sick."

Zhu Chengxi looked at Xiao Ruge in shock, and finally asked her with a pout, "Then tomorrow, are you free? I'll treat you to dinner!"

This guy really won't give up. Even after being made into this state by Xiao Ruge, he still didn't forget to treat her to a meal.

Xiao Ruge rolled her eyes helplessly and refused directly, "I'm busy!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

When Zhu Chengxi's servant saw that he was sweating coldly, he quickly persuaded him to go back with him and find a doctor to fix his dislocated arm.

The servant said with lingering fear: "Sixth Master, let's change someone. I think the second Miss Xiao is not someone who is easy to deal with."

Zhu Chengxi did glare at him, "Haven't you heard it before? Beating is love, scolding is love. Miss Xiao treats me like this because she cares about me and likes me!"

The servant curled his lips in his heart and did not dare to agree.

He felt that his own son was a masochist. Even though people treated him like this, he still acted sincere.

Zhu Chengxi was a man who became more courageous as the battle went on. Although Xiao Ruge broke his arm that day, he was not discouraged and came to Xiao Ruge's house every day with invitations to ask for a meeting.

When Xiao Ruge refused to see him, he blocked her outside the door, which made Xiao Ruge so angry that she beat him up many times.

But this guy was beaten the day before, and he appeared in front of Xiao Ruge with a pig-headed face the next day. Xiao Ruge was so angry that she had no choice but to give him some laxatives, and finally made this guy disappear from her sight for a few days.

But when Zhu Chengxi was pursuing Xiao Ruge, bad rumors began to spread in the capital.

It was said that Xiao Ruge and Zhu Chengxi had already secretly decided to spend their lives together, and no one knew what kind of charm she used, but she managed to make Zhu Chengxi so bewildered that he kept following her around all day.

When Mu Gu told her the news, rumors were already spreading in the capital.
