After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

When Huo Yan arrived, it was already dark.

He shone the lantern, "Su Ruanruan?"

Su Ruanruan raised her eyes that were swollen like walnuts due to tears, and said in a choked voice, "Huo Yan, let's go back to Qingshan County tomorrow morning!"

"Hmm? What happened? You're not looking for him anymore?"

Su Ruanruan closed her eyes and said, "I'm so tired."

That night, Su Ruanruan developed a high fever again. The doctor diagnosed that she had not recovered from the cold and her qi and blood were attacking her heart, causing depression. He prescribed some medicine and told her to rest.

I'm afraid they won't be able to set off for a while.

It was four days later when Su Ruanruan recovered completely.

Su Ruanruan was eating breakfast downstairs and heard others talking about the ancient temple.

She suddenly wanted to go over and take a look.

She begged Huo Yan, and Huo Yan agreed immediately.

……

At the foot of the mountain, Su Runrun could clearly see the two powerful characters "Ancient Temple" on the plaque.

She and Huo Yan followed the pilgrims inside. The temple was not big and its location was extremely remote, but there were many pilgrims.

Su Ruanruan came out of the main hall after burning incense and looked at the towering steps on the other side of the mountain.

That must be the 1,088 steps the tea stall owner mentioned, right?

She had already seen several people kneeling every three steps down the stairs, kowtowed devoutly.

Su Ruanruan thought, Mu Bai was like this before, no wonder his forehead was a little blue.

Su Ruanruan looked at those people thoughtfully.

A young monk came over and said, "Donor, do you have any wishes or unfulfilled wishes? You can also be like them."

"Does it work?" Su Ruanruan said with a wry smile.

"Sincere heart brings blessings."

Su Ruanruan shook her head, "I don't believe it."

The young monk shook his head, "All the scholars believe it, but you don't."

"Scholar?"

"Yes, it's a scholar. A few days ago, a scholar from another place who was going to take an exam came here because he heard of your reputation and came to pray for blessings."

"However, the weather changed that day, and when he was halfway through the kowtow, it began to rain heavily. He did not give up halfway, but climbed to the top step by step in the rain."

"Whatever he asks for, he will get."

Su Ruanruan suddenly grinned, bent over with laughter, and tears flowed out.

The little monk was stunned and shook his head and walked away.

Huo Yan frowned and looked at Su Ruanruan, "What's wrong?"

Su Ruanruan's eyes were filled with tears. "Do you know who he is talking about? The scholar he is talking about is Mu Bai."

Did his wish come true? No, no!

If Mu Bai had not come here to pray, he would not have encountered the bandits, and he would not have left her out of guilt.

Su Ruanruan walked down step by step. Suddenly, a breeze blew and the wishing tree next to her rang with a clear bell sound.

She stopped and looked up at the tree hung with red silk wishing cloths.

For some reason, my heart ached slightly with the sound of the bell.

Su Ruanruan seemed to be pulled by a force and couldn't help but walk towards the tree.

Standing under the tree, watching the red silk fluttering, a gust of wind blew by, and Su Ruanruan was blocked from sight by the falling red silk.

She reached out and took it off her head. When she saw the familiar handwriting on it, her disturbed heart became confused again.

"Mu Baisu is soft and gentle, the love is long and peaceful, and they will never be separated in this life."

"Love and peace will last forever, forever and ever..."

Su Ruanruan tightly grasped the red silk in her palm and whispered, "Brother Mu Bai..."

……

Su Ruanruan never saw Mu Bai again in Lingzhou City. She didn't know where his wife was from or where they had gone.

Su Ruanruan took a last look at the place that made her sad, and set out on the journey home with Huo Yan.

Little did she know that even worse news was waiting for her.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw Zi Wu waiting at the gate with an anxious look on his face.

Two days ago, her master's cousin came to the tofu shop to find her, but she didn't know where her master had gone. She only knew that her master and Captain Huo had left the city, and Bairuan was sent to the tofu shop by the waiter of the clinic.

Finally, she found out the address of Fang Ru, a classmate of Mr. Mu, and went to ask him, only to find out that Mr. Mu had not returned.

But he didn't say why he didn't come back.

She thought that the master might have gone to Lingzhou City to find Master Mu.

So she sent people out of the city to look for her, but she was afraid they might have gone astray on the way.

When she saw her master's haggard face again, she had a bad feeling that Master Mu would never come back.

As for the reason, she didn't dare to ask more.

In just a short period of time, the master's eyes had lost their luster and he had lost a lot of weight.

If her master knew... I don't know how desperate she would be.

When Ziwu saw Captain Huo leading a horse beside him, she swallowed the concerned words on her lips.

He raised his voice and asked, "Do you still want to work in the tofu shop? You left without saying goodbye. Do you know that your aunt and her family have come to see you many times?"

Su Ruanruan turned her head to look at her, "Looking for me?"

"I'm looking for you, you need to be prepared..." Zi Wu saw that she was so haggard, and was afraid that she would not be able to bear it after telling her the bad news.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, a gloating voice sounded beside her, "Hey, isn't this Su Ruanruan?"

Su Runrun was very familiar with the sound of the dog barking. It was that bastard Su Xiaoqiang.

She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Su Xiaoqiang in a silk dress, looking even more respectable.

Standing next to him was a person she was very familiar with, Su Fangfang. The sweet and greasy smell of her makeup drifted into her nose, which was so unpleasant.

She changed out of her coarse cloth clothes, and her hair was covered with pearls and jade, and her face was covered with white powder. Her figure became more plump, and she even had a bit of charm.

Su Ruanruan frowned slightly and looked at Ziwu.

What happened when she was away? Weren't these two people arrested because they owed money to the casino? How did a pheasant turn into a phoenix?

Compared to the matter between these two people, Zi Wu wanted to tell her another important thing. She just opened her mouth and said, "Hurry back..."

"Su Ruanruan, your brother is dead, and you are still here seducing men. Do you have any shame?"

Zi Wu was interrupted again, and she angrily scolded Su Fangfang who interrupted, "Shut up."

Su Ruanruan took a few steps forward, grabbed Su Fangfang's collar, and raised her hand.

"Snapped"

A burning slap mark was left on Su Fangfang's cheek.

This sudden slap stunned Su Fangfang and also scared Su Xiaoqiang who was beside her.

He had never seen Su Ruanruan so fierce. Was this still the same cowardly Su Ruanruan?

"You, you dare to hit me?"

Su Ruanruan raised her hand and slapped her again, "Why don't you dare? Do I have to choose a day to hit you? You are an adult, but you curse a child, what is your intention?"

Su Fangfang touched her red cheek and stamped her feet in anger, "Brother..."

Su Xiaoqiang raised his head and said, "Do you know that my sister is now the seventh concubine of Mr. Zeng of Qianlai Casino? If you touch her again, I will let him skin you alive."

He and Su Fangfang were originally staying at Zeng's house as servants. Zeng Yuan, the only male in his family, was not only inhumane but also exiled.

Mr. Zeng drank all day to relieve his sorrow, and it was because of this that he and Su Fangfang took advantage of the opportunity.

But after making the plan, he found out that Su Fangfang had an affair with Zhou the Butcher and was no longer innocent.

? Regarding Mu Bai, there is a foreshadowing later
