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

"My great-aunt has always wanted to use me to gain benefits for the Xiao family. Of course, she would like to catch me in bed if she could take advantage of me like this."

There was no need for Mu Gu to pour the wine. Xiao Ruge poured it for herself and quickly finished the second glass of wine.

Mu Gu picked up a piece of braised pork for her and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that Old Madam Xiao will suspect you?"

"I won't admit it. What can she do to me even if she suspects me?"

Xiao Ruge tasted the braised pork and found it delicious. Her cherry red lips were stained with a hint of oiliness. Her cheeks puffed up when she chewed, which was very adorable.

Mu Gu retracted his gaze, used the action of drinking to hide the depth in his eyes, and said softly: "I have arranged for people to spread rumors. Tomorrow, everyone will know about Xiao Mingyue and Lu Yu's secret meeting."

In fact, even if Mu Gu didn't take action, this matter would have been spread, after all, there were quite a few people in the alley at that time.

It’s just that everyone may not be able to tell who the protagonist is for a while, after all, Xu kept shouting that the person inside is Xiao Ruge.

Mu Gu didn't want Xiao Ruge to have anything to do with this matter.

Xiao Ruge clinked glasses with him with a smile, and finally stopped treating him coldly.

Things happened just as Mu Gu said. Before the next day, many people in the capital knew that the fourth daughter of the Xiao family had a secret meeting with someone and was caught in the act.

A maid from the Xiao family went out to buy something. After hearing about what happened, she hurried back home and told the old lady Xiao about it.

Old Madam Xiao's expression became uglier and uglier. She glared at Xiao Mingyue and Xu who came to pay their respects early in the morning, then looked at Xiao Ruge on the other side and asked, "Ruge, what do you think about this?"

Xiao Ruge was stunned for a moment, then put down the teacup and said thoughtfully: "Gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person. We can't stop people from talking even if we try."

"It would be better to spread the news that the fourth sister and General Lu have always been interested in each other, and that they did not meet in private, but only exchanged letters. When General Lu comes to propose marriage, the matter will be over."

There was no other way available now. Old Mrs. Xiao sighed, nodded, and asked Madam Qian to do it according to Xiao Ruge's method.

After instructing Madam Qian, Old Madam Xiao glared at Xiao Mingyue again and said coldly, "You should stay at home honestly for the next two days. You are not allowed to go anywhere until things are settled!"

"Yes."

Xiao Mingyue agreed hesitantly and did not take Old Lady Xiao's scolding to heart.

From now on, I will be the queen, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Then it will be these people's turn to curry favor with me.

Therefore, she won’t get angry because others treat her badly!

Lu Yu kept his word and a day later, he brought a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Although the betrothal gift was not very generous, it was the best he could offer considering his current status.

Lu Yu handled the betrothal ceremony in a lively manner, which gave the Xiao family enough face.

No matter how much Xiao Mingzhi looked down on Lu Yu, now that this had happened, he had no choice but to put on a smile and happily accept the marriage.

The two exchanged their birth dates and the Xiao family accepted the betrothal gift, so the matter was settled. The Xiao family held an engagement banquet, which was quite lively.

Xiao Ruge used Xiao Mingyue's story to replace her own previous rumors. Now, what everyone likes most after dinner is to talk about the affair between General Lu and the fourth lady of the Xiao family.

"Xiao Mingyue is really bold. A girl like her actually rushed to warm a man's bed. How shameless!"

An auntie was sewing shoe soles while talking to the neighbors around her, with disgust on her face towards Xiao Mingyue.

"Hey, I heard that they just exchanged letters. Why are they suddenly saying that they slept together?"

The other person looked at the aunt in confusion, and the aunt curled her lips.

"No way! I heard that they had slept together a long time ago. After being caught, Xiao Mingyue's mother wanted to throw dirty water on the Second Miss Xiao! Poor Second Miss Xiao is alone in the Xiao Mansion. I don't know what kind of life she has been leading!"

"Then Xiao Mingyue's mother is such a piece of shit. It's obviously her own daughter who has no sense of shame, but she wants to drag the second Miss Xiao into this. People like her deserve to be boiled in oil after they die!"

"Yes, it's not enough to be put into the oil pan, you have to go to the hell of tongue pulling out!"

Soon, several people shifted their focus from Xiao Mingyue's matter to their disgust towards Xu, and they cursed her indignantly, as if Xu had stolen their children.

Xiao Ruge didn't know any of this. Because of Xiao Mingyue's incident, the Xiao family had been keeping a low profile recently. She hadn't gone out since she came back that day.

Mu Gu never came to see her again after he drank with her that day.

The weather is getting cooler day by day, and as the temperature changes, we are entering August.

Every time she went to the farm, Xiao Ruge couldn't help but smile when she saw the fields on both sides of the road.

On this day, a cart of crabs was delivered from the farm, and along with the crabs, a piece of paper came.

The Rongdi gathered their forces and invaded the northern border on July 26.

Today is already the fifth of August. This news was sent back from the northern border at full speed, which made Xiao Ruge feel heavy-hearted.

It seems that what is supposed to come has finally come.

In the previous life, Rongdi also attacked the northern border at this time. Although the emperor did not send reinforcements, he did send military supplies.

"Xiao Shuang, pick two baskets of crabs and send them to your great-aunt and second uncle."

Xiao Ruge gave an order and walked towards the house, but his mind was recalling some things that happened after this incident in his previous life.

When the Rongdi invaded the northern border, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered an attack. At the same time, he ordered the Ministry of War to raise a batch of food and supplies to send to the northern border.

A group of people argued in the court for two days about who should be the one to escort the grain and fodder, and finally decided to send the third prince Mu Huan.

When Xiao Ruge heard this, she was a little surprised, because this was different from her previous life, and things shouldn't have developed like this.

In the previous life, it was Mu Huan who escorted grain and fodder to the northern border. It was also from that time that Mu Gu gradually came to the fore and slowly laid the foundation for his future fight for the throne.

But why has this life changed?

The answer came at night because Mu Gu climbed through her window again.

Looking at Mu Gu who landed steadily, Xiao Ruge glanced at him.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Bringing you a midnight snack!"

Mu Gu smiled and placed a beggar's chicken in front of Xiao Ruge. His peach blossom eyes curved like crescent moons, like a big dog waiting for praise.

"I've gained weight recently, so I don't eat midnight snacks."

Xiao Ruge turned a page of the book in her hand and showed no appreciation.

Mu Gu sighed, "Then Miss Xiao Er, just treat it as eating with me, how about that?"

After saying that, he stared at Xiao Ruge with burning eyes. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Gu smiled and picked up the big mud ball, and went out to clean the dried mud on it.
