Chapter 115 I can
Xiao Ruge picked up a handful of wild fruits and handed them to Bai Zhi. Mu Gu looked at them but didn't say anything. He just continued to stare at Xiao Ruge with a smile.
"Nothing, just bringing me some midnight snack."
He pointed with his chin at the leftover chicken bones on the small table next to him, which looked like chicken leg bones.
It looked like Sun Yan was roasting it and eating it. He pulled the chicken leg off and handed it to Xiao Ruge.
"Which is more delicious, chicken legs or wild fruits?"
Mu Gu just wanted to compete with Sun Yan to see who was more important in Xiao Ruge's heart.
Xiao Ruge took a bite of the fruit and looked at him. She felt that these two things were completely different. Each had its own merits. How could they be compared?
So she didn't answer, but rolled her eyes at the bored Mu Gu and said softly, "Don't keep running towards me, be careful not to be seen!"
"It doesn't matter. I have my people in the Royal Guards."
He wanted to say some ambiguous words to Xiao Ruge, but Bai Zhi was sitting next to him. Mu Gu swallowed the words back and just watched Xiao Ruge eat the fruit quietly.
Although there were not many fruits, it was not easy for this guy to find time to run out and find fruits for himself while on the road, so Xiao Ruge was very considerate and ate them all.
Mu Gu was happy and wanted to say that he would find some fruit for her tomorrow, but he didn't expect Xiao Ruge to speak first.
She handed the small box to Mu Gu and said while wiping her hands, "Don't pick them tomorrow. It's late at night and eating too much will make you unable to sleep."
“The fruit is small and doesn’t take up much space!”
Mu Gu did not give up. He wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Xiao Ruge!
"You disturbed my rest!"
If Sun Yan hadn't come over today, Xiao Ruge would have gone to bed long ago.
Mu Gu smiled awkwardly after hearing this. He had no choice because the people arranged to patrol were only his during this time period. He would never have the chance to come at other times.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Ruge sighed and waved his hand to chase him away.
"Go, go, I need to rest."
"Then you have a good rest. I, I'm leaving now."
Mu Gu wanted to say that he would come again tomorrow, but thinking about what Xiao Ruge had just said, he changed his mind and left the carriage, looking back every few steps.
After walking for several days, the team finally returned to the capital.
Xiao Ruge had an injury on her leg, so she didn't need to take care of Ao Rong anymore and went straight back to the Xiao Mansion.
Old Madam Xiao already knew that Xiao Mingzhi's affairs were related to Xiao Ruge, so after returning home, she was a little angry with Xiao Ruge and directly called her to Ronghui Hall to scold her.
Xiao Ruge stood there limping as she listened to the lecture, tears of grievance falling down her face in pairs.
"Grandmother, please understand. I really didn't know where my second uncle was. I ran over there that day because I was chasing a fox. If I had known that my second uncle was with Miss Sun... I would definitely not have gone there!"
Bai Zhi supported her with concern, and felt even more disgusted with Old Lady Xiao.
I just feel that this old hag can't manage her son well, and when something goes wrong she blames this and that.
So many people saw what happened that day, you can find out what happened by just asking around.
Old Madam Xiao had asked Madam Qian to find out everything clearly, and it was basically the same as what Xiao Ruge said. It cannot be said that it was Xiao Ruge's fault. She was just taking advantage of the situation to vent her anger.
Seeing Xiao Ruge crying in grievance, Old Madam Xiao sighed and said earnestly: "Grandmother is not blaming you, but just wants you to know that we are all members of the Xiao family after all. If anything happens, you have to help your family!"
"Yes, Ruge remembered it."
Xiao Ruge lowered her head and responded, but she kept wiping her falling tears with the handkerchief in her hand. It was obvious that she was still feeling aggrieved!
Old Madam Xiao was annoyed by her crying, so she waved at her, barely hiding the impatience in her eyes, and said, "Okay, go back and heal your wounds!"
Xiao Ruge responded again, and then let Bai Zhi help her back to Ruyi Garden.
During this autumn hunt, Xiaoshuang was left at home to guard the yard. Baizhi had already asked Baiyang to bring back the news. When Xiaoshuang heard that Xiao Ruge was injured, she was extremely worried and stood outside the garden waiting early.
After looking forward to it for a long time, she finally saw the shadow of her young lady and ran over quickly.
"This servant pays respects to the young lady!"
"Get up quickly!"
Seeing the honest Xiaoshuang, Xiao Ruge felt much better. Although she stopped crying, her eyes were still red.
Xiao Shuang reached out to hold Xiao Ruge's other arm. Seeing her red eyes, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Miss, did the old lady bully you?"
"No, let's go back!"
Xiao Ruge didn't want to tell Xiaoshuang about this, so the master and servant slowly returned to the yard.
Ruyi Garden is no different from when I left. The only difference is that the pots of autumn chrysanthemums are blooming more brightly. That's all.
Not long after Xiao Ruge came back, Sun Yan brought her a bottle of specially made medicinal wine, and used some techniques to massage Xiao Ruge's ankle.
After a few days of rest, the swelling of the ankle has subsided a little. The original dark purple has turned into bluish purple, and the edges have turned yellow. It looks like the swelling will go away in a few days.
The soft and smooth touch under his hand made Sun Yan's heart burn with excitement, but he was several years older than Xiao Ruge, and had been taught by his father since childhood, so he had a calm personality and nothing could be seen on his face.
After he finished rubbing, he washed his hands. While Bai Zhi was pouring water, he looked at Xiao Ruge steadily and asked, "Miss, how do you feel about the Seventh Prince?"
Xiao Ruge was stunned by this question. She looked at him in confusion and covered her feet with a thin blanket.
"What does it feel like?"
Seeing that Bai Zhi had returned, Sun Yan motioned for her to go out first, and he picked up an embroidered stool from the side and sat down.
"I think you should know what the Seventh Prince thinks of you. I... no, I want to know what position the Seventh Prince occupies in your heart."
Sun Yan deliberately emphasized the word "I" so that Xiao Ruge would know that he was not asking this question as a subordinate.
Xiao Ruge didn't rush to answer him, but looked at Sun Yan's resolute face and asked with a smile: "Why are you asking this?"
Sun Yan was silent. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Miss said before that she wanted to find a son-in-law. The Seventh Prince is obviously not suitable, but I can!"
Xiao Ruge was in a daze for a moment. She remembered that Sun Yan seemed to have said something similar to her before, but she didn't understand what he meant at that time.
After listening to him say so much today, how could I not know what Sun Yan is thinking.
She stared at Sun Yan for a long time before she slowly spoke.
"Uncle Sun only has you as his son, and the incense cannot be cut off from you."
"If the young lady chooses me, the child born will also have half of my blood. As for the surname, it is just a name. What does it matter what it is called?"
