The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 162 Brother Is Your Backing
After Mrs. Lu's birthday, the relationship between the Lu family and the Xiao family gradually resumed, but Mrs. Lu learned that her daughter was killed by the Gu family, so she unknowingly turned her anger on Xiao Hong and Mrs. Xiao.

Lu Mansion's beloved daughter was murdered by her own family in Xiao Mansion, Mrs. Xiao felt that she was really wronged.In order to reconcile with the Xiao family, he swallowed his anger several times and went to the Lu residence to apologize to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu on Xiao Hong's behalf.

Because of Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng's reasons, no matter how angry Mrs. Lu was, knowing that Mrs. Gu had been poisoned to death, and seeing Xiao Hong's slumped appearance, she had no choice but to forgive Mrs. Xiao.

Gu Shi is dead, Xiao Ruan originally had a feeling of avenging half of the revenge in his heart, but because he learned that his mother was also killed by Gu Shi, he couldn't get out for a long time.

Once the matter was over, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng went to Gu's tomb together.

The forest was desolate, the surroundings were silent, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng did not bring any servants, they knelt in front of the grave.

Gu's family was buried in the Xiao family's ancestral tomb, which had just been renovated, and it looked like a new tomb.

The ingot was burnt quickly when it met the fire, and Xiao Ruan's mother's voice and smile seemed to appear in front of Xiao Ruan's eyes in front of the dancing flames.

Memories of childhood have long been scattered across the sky by the wind like fine sand strung across the fingertips.However, the image of Mrs. Gu sewing clothes for her and Xiao Zhongheng when she was young suddenly became clearer and clearer.

Although Mrs. Lu treats her kindly, the role of mother cannot be replaced by anyone.

Xiao Ruan recalled the stupidity of her treating her enemy as a relative in her previous life, and she couldn't help but think to herself, maybe even God would not see it, so that's why she was given a chance to be reborn.

"Mother, my son's unfilial piety has caused you to be wronged for so many years. Now that Mrs. Gu has been punished, you can rest in peace!"

Hearing Xiao Zhongheng's hoarse voice, Xiao Ruan burst into tears, and kowtowed deeply to the grave with Xiao Zhongheng a few times.

"Ruan Ruan has wronged you all these years. If you hadn't reminded me that Mrs. Gu has evil intentions, I'm afraid we would never know about my mother's unjust death."

Xiao Zhongheng's eyes were red, thinking of his respect and obedience to Mrs. Gu in the past, his heart was full of remorse, and he suppressed his grief and anger.

"Brother, don't blame yourself, it's because that poisonous woman of the Gu family is used to pretending to deceive you and me."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and Xiao Zhongheng gently hugged his younger sister into his arms.Xiao Ruan could no longer hide the grievance in her heart, and burst into tears.At this moment, Xiao Zhongheng's eyes were reddened unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, but the ingots on the ground have been burned out.

Xiao Zhongheng was a man after all, he quickly recovered from his grief, stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Ruan's shoulder and spoke words of comfort.

"Brother was confused in the past and failed to protect Ruan'er. Brother, I assure you that from now on I will be an official and be Ruan'er's strong backing. I will never let anyone bully my sister."

Surrounded by silence, Xiao Zhongheng's promise was resounding, Xiao Ruan wiped away the tears from his eyes and raised his head, seeing his firm gaze, his heart felt warm again.

There are thousands of people in the world, but there is only one person with the same blood flowing in this world.

Thinking that Xiao Zhongheng has devoted himself to being an official in this life, when the two left, Xiao Ruan glanced at Gu's tombstone and finally couldn't help calling Xiao Zhongheng to stop.

"Brother, do you know why I suddenly didn't want to listen to that Gu's coaxing?"

Xiao Zhongheng paused, seeing that his sister was still sad, and immediately turned around to show that he was listening.

In fact, Xiao Zhongheng also had doubts in his heart.

In the past, this younger sister was introverted and timid, and she had great trust in the Gu family, otherwise she would not have said the words of severing ties with the Xiao family.

So much so that she changed drastically later on, Xiao Zhongheng was very strange, and he still regarded her as a child's heart.

"It all stems from a dream I had after I said that I had cut off contact with my grandfather."

Seeing that Xiao Zhongheng didn't react too much, Xiao Ruan told all about her experience in the previous life.

"Brother may think it's ridiculous, and I also think this dream is very bizarre. But after careful identification, I really found out that Mrs. Gu's love for you and me, with ulterior motives, so I think, this dream must be my mother's love for me. wake up."

Xiao Zhongheng didn't believe the words of ghosts and gods, but because he was in front of Gu's tomb today, he felt a sense of shock when he heard Xiao Ruan say such words.

"Duke Huai has indeed been coveting the throne, and the Gu family has indeed encouraged his father to seek refuge with Duke Huai..."

As Xiao Zhongheng said, he suddenly revealed a look of shock: "No wonder my sister has always been close to my grandfather's family, and even refused to marry Duke Huai several times, so it turned out to be the reason!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhongheng believed his own words, Xiao Ruan nodded: "It is indeed as my brother guessed. I am worried that I will be used by the Lu family just like what happened in my dream. I am also worried that Duke Huai is really not such a gentle person outside. , naturally don’t want to marry him as a wife.”

"Your choice is right. Duke Huai appears gentle and warm on the surface, but in reality he is vicious. He sent people to assassinate the prince and..." and Huo Xun.

When Xiao Zhongheng said this, as if he was worried about scaring Xiao Ruan, he didn't go into details.

A dark color flashed across his eyes, and the expression on Xiao Zhongheng's face suddenly became solemn: "Don't worry, sister, the things in your dreams will never happen, even the person who ascends the throne in the future will never be Duke Huai."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xiao Ruan heard Xiao Zhongheng's voice was a little more dignified than before.

Knowing that he has realized the possible ending of following the Lu family and Huo Xun in the future, Xiao Ruan's eyes also became a little bit more serious.

These people have been divided into positions from the beginning, and now Gu Shi has been eliminated by her.But Xiao Ying and Zhao Yan are still there. If Zhao Yan ascends to the throne in the future, no matter if it is the prince, the Xiao family, the Lu family, or Huo Xun, they will all be dead ends.

She told Xiao Zhongheng about these major events in her previous life today, in fact, she just hoped that he could take precautions against Zhao Yan.

At some point, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up the ashes in front of Gu's grave.

In the rustling forest, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng left side by side, and the solemn family grave once again returned to silence.

A few days later, the iron tree in the palace, which is said to have a lifespan of a hundred years, suddenly blossomed, and everyone said it was an auspicious sign.

In order to meet the occasion, the queen held a banquet in the palace, and invited all the officials and their families to watch, Xiao Ruan was naturally also invited.

On this day, the sky was clear and the weather was clear. Everyone watched the spectacle of the cycads blooming in the garden.

The queen wore a red palace dress embroidered with a golden phoenix, and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, looking graceful.

Looking at his well-maintained face, he felt that he was very young. It was completely unexpected that he already had a son as old as Duke Huai.

It was not the first time for Xiao Ruan to see the queen, but it was the first time in this life.During the dinner, the other party looked at her frequently, and she felt a little more cautious in her heart.

In her previous life, she was inferior and introverted, honestly abided by the duties of Princess Huai, and did not dare to disobey the slightest in front of the empress. Although she was not troubled by the empress, she knew that this person was extremely powerful.

In this life, she has never had any interaction with the queen, but for some reason she was followed by her.

"Where is Xiao Ruan?"

Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Ruan heard the queen's noble and cold voice.

Seeing everyone's gazes coming, Xiao Ruan immediately stood up from the table, and respectfully bowed to the queen: "Empress, my wife is here."

As soon as Xiao Ruan's voice was over, she felt a cold gaze cast on her. She maintained the posture of saluting for an unknown amount of time, and when her legs were a little numb, she finally heard the queen's heavenly voice.

"So you are Xiao Ruan."

After sizing up Xiao Ruan carefully, the queen suddenly nodded with a smile: "Sure enough, she is a lady of everyone, very likable, and I like it very much. Come and give me a reward."

Seeing that the queen kept Xiao Ruan in a saluting posture for a long time, everyone thought it was intentional punishment for her.Unexpectedly, the queen praised her again and again, and finally asked someone to give Xiao Ruan a pair of East Pearls.

The queen ordered the box containing the Dongzhu to be sent to Xiao Ruan, everyone was surprised, even Xiao Ruan felt it was very strange.

But at this moment, the Queen changed the subject and suddenly sighed.

"I used to think that Miss He's charm is so attractive that Yan'er can't forget it? Now it seems that compared with General Huo of the Korean public, my family's Yan'er is less blessed."

The queen shook her head, her tone was full of sighs, but everyone at the table was amazed, their eyes kept going back and forth between Xiao Ruan and the queen, secretly guessing what the queen meant by her words.

Faced with the scorching gazes cast on him by the crowd, Xiao Ruan's expression remained unchanged, and he once again saluted the Queen respectfully, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "My wife, thank you Queen for your liking."

The queen saw Xiao Ruan's performance one by one, and still nodded with a smile on her face, motioning her to sit back.

Afterwards, the empress started the banquet without asking any of the noble ladies, which made everyone look at Xiao Ruan more meaningfully.

Xiao Ruan sat on the seat with a calm expression throughout the whole process, accepting everyone's scrutiny, and suddenly felt a look of hatred towards her, and slowly raised her eyes, only to find that the hatred had disappeared.

Glancing in the opposite direction, he found that the person sitting there was Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying is wearing a peach blossom cloud and mist shirt today, she can't see any grade, but the pink dress makes her very delicate.

Xiao Ruan's eyes flickered slightly, he glanced at her, and looked away calmly.

The Xiao family has made Xiao Ying's identity public. Everyone in the capital knows that she is the bastard born of the Gu family and Gu Youcai, but Xiao Ying is still able to come to this banquet. Obviously, she has developed a lot of skills recently.

In the middle of the banquet, the queen left the table for a rest because she was overwhelmed with alcohol, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became relaxed and lively.

Xiao Ruan searched around the table and was disappointed that he didn't see Lu Heng.

She heard from Huo Xun that Lu Heng was caught by Lu Hanrui when he left the house without permission, and he was going to be locked up for three days. She thought that today was the last day, and Mrs. Lu would persuade Lu Hanrui to let Lu Heng go.

Now it seems that no one has persuaded Lu Hanrui.

"Sister Ruan, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

Xiao Ruan looked away, feeling that the banquet was very boring, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice behind him.
