"There's no rush for this. Grandma has been keeping an eye out for you recently. If you come across a good one, we can meet each other!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and didn't respond. After talking for a while, she stood up and left.

After she left, Xu snorted coldly, "What do you mean by only recruiting sons-in-law? I think she is just guarding against us, afraid that we will embezzle her property!"

When her worries were revealed, Mrs. Xiao's face turned unhappy.

"Okay, I'm tired, you guys go back too!"

After sending Xu and Xiao Mingyue away, Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

When Nanny Qian saw this, she helped her walk to the back room and tried to persuade her.

"Don't be angry, old lady. The Second Madam is a person who speaks her mind."

When it comes to Xu, Old Lady Xiao gets angry. "Straightforward? Humph! She's the kind of person who speaks without thinking! Why did I choose such a fool as Mingzhi's wife?"

At the very beginning, Old Lady Xiao thought she could train Xu.

I didn't expect that after so many years, Xu is still the same stubborn person, saying whatever she thinks, and sometimes she doesn't even realize she has offended people.

What a fool!

After hearing this, Madam Qian smiled, helped Old Madam Xiao sit on the Arhat bed, and poured her a cup of ginseng tea.

"The Second Madam has a good heart. I will teach her slowly in the future."

Old Madam Xiao snorted again, thinking, "Teach slowly?" She was already half buried in the earth, how much time did she have to teach slowly?

She took a sip of tea and couldn't help but think of the daughter-in-law of the old family, who was a true lady from a noble family.

Her every frown, smile, and gesture revealed the norms of a noble family. If her family had not fallen into poverty, it would not have been her eldest child's turn in the end.

This is also the reason why she has been in charge of the household affairs for so many years and has not handed them over to Xu.

As for Lin, she was not even within Mrs. Xiao's consideration.

Everyone thought that these three sons were all born to her, but only she and a few people who knew her knew that the third son, Xiao Jinzhi, was not her biological child, but the son of Old Master Xiao and the woman outside.

That woman was also a short-lived person. She died during childbirth, and the child was then brought back by Old Master Xiao.

He is a concubine's son, it's good enough for him to be allowed to live, what else does he want?

A child without his biological mother is like a floating duckweed.

He was raised by me since he was a child, so no matter how badly I treated him, he had already considered me his biological mother.

Thinking of the stupid things that Old Master Xiao had done in the early years, Old Lady Xiao felt upset.

Fortunately, Old Master Xiao passed away for several years ago. Old Madam Xiao has lived a very comfortable life in recent years and can be said to have the final say in the Xiao family.

However, when it comes to Xiao Ruge, he keeps hitting a wall.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the ginseng tea in the teacup, wondering how she could make Xiao Ruge more obedient.

After returning to Ruyi Garden, the rebellious Xiao Ruge ordered people to pick some good and large fruits and send them to the Third Prince's Mansion.

After all, Ao Rong was nice to her, and if she wanted to build a good relationship with her, she had to visit her often.

She has not been at home recently, and Ruyi Garden is under the care of Aunt Mei, who is the maid sent in by Old Man Sun.

Aunt Mei whispered to her about some recent events in the Xiao family.

Master Xiao has been interacting more frequently with his colleagues recently, and it looks like he will be able to get a promotion next year.

In addition, several families in the capital city had asked Old Lady Xiao about Xiao Ruge's situation. It seemed that they wanted to marry Xiao Ruge, but because Xiao Ruge's personality was difficult to judge, Old Lady Xiao did not respond.

Xiao Ruge chuckled after hearing this. Fortunately, she had just stated her criteria for choosing a spouse in Ronghui Hall, otherwise this old lady would have secretly arranged a marriage for her!

"What's going on with Xiao Mingyue and Lu Yu?"

Xiao Ruge was still most concerned about this, so she tapped the tea lid lightly and asked.

Madam Mei smiled and said, "Although Lu Yu returned injured, General Liang was very angry because he failed to capture any of the bandit leaders of Luo Yunshan, and he reprimanded him."

"Because of the hundreds of casualties, I didn't get any credit and was even beaten with twenty military sticks."

Wow, this is adding insult to injury!

No wonder Xiao Mingyue looked so worried and restless.

Just as Xiao Ruge was listening to Nanny Mei's report, the gatekeeper Bai Yang said that Xiao Mingyue had arrived.

Xiao Ruge was a little surprised. Since she was reborn, she rarely came to her own yard.

So he quickly asked someone to come in, and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, why did you come to see me? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Xiao Mingyue looked a little embarrassed. She held the handkerchief and looked at Xiao Ruge first. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Second sister, you are a great doctor. Can you give me some medicine for injuries and wounds?"

"What does Fourth Sister want these for?"

Although she already knew who Xiao Mingyue was asking for it for, Xiao Ruge still looked at her with a surprised expression.

At this time, Xiao Mingyue also acted out her words, saying with 70% truth and 30% falsehood: "Second sister also knows that Brother Yu went to suppress bandits a while ago. Who knew that the bandit leader was very cunning? Brother Yu was injured. I went to see him yesterday. He was covered in blood and looked very scary."

Having said that, Xiao Mingyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes sadly and looked at Xiao Ruge hesitantly.

"Second sister, Brother Yu is my fiancé after all. Seeing him injured makes me sad, so I came to you for help. I wonder if you can..."

Xiao Mingyue stopped talking halfway and seemed to find it difficult to continue, which made Xiao Ruge snort in her heart.

I've already said what I want to say about the medicine, so what else can't I say?

She felt that Xiao Mingyue was really both responsible and independent.

However, they did not openly quarrel with each other and were still smiling.

She stretched out her hand and waved to Bai Zhi, asking her to get her medicine box, then took out two bottles of medicine and handed them to Xiao Mingyue.

"The red one is a wound medicine for external application. The blue one is a medicine oil for reducing swelling and dispersing blood stasis. Pour it on the injured area and rub the blood stasis. It will be much better the next day."

After hearing this, Xiao Mingyue tightly grasped the two bottles of medicine as if they had found a treasure.

After thanking Xiao Ruge, he left without even sitting down.

Baizhi packed up the medicine box and curled her lips in dismay.

"Miss, why did you give her such good medicine? Just use any medicine you can think of!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and said, "After all, he is my future brother-in-law. For this reason, I should take better care of him."

In fact, she is not that kind!

That medicine is not given to Lu Yu for free, he has to return it in the future!

At night, Xiao Ruge was sleeping soundly, when the feeling of being secretly watched came back to her again. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure standing beside the bed.

A familiar scent filled the area around the bed, and I knew who it was without having to guess.

"Why are you climbing through the window again in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Ruge sighed and took a deep breath to calm her rapidly beating heart.
