After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"I don't know. If such a weak girl gets into a fight with others, then..."

Seeing that Niu Mang was a little hesitant, Su Ruanruan quickly said to the coachman, "Hurry up, you're blocking other people's way."

Niu Mang's voice came from behind, "You two should protect Aunt Su well. If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible."

Su Ruanruan stretched her head out and waved to Niu Mang behind her with a smile.

Su Runruan went to the furniture factory and asked two guards to guard the main gate. She, the manager and Qin Bei's master went to the accounting office to sort out the accounts.

Although it was the first time he met Su Ruanruan, he had heard of her before and naturally knew her identity.

"Why isn't Qin Bei here?" Su Ruanruan asked.

The manager said, "It's really unfortunate. Qin Bei asked for leave yesterday and hasn't come today."

Su Ruanruan looked up at him, "Do you know why he asked for leave?"

The manager said, “I’m not sure about this either.”

Qin Bei's master spoke up, "It seems that a brother who grew up with him in the village is missing, and he went back to help look for him..."

Su Ruanruan was startled, "Do you know who it is? What's his name?"

The master paused and shook his head, "He didn't say that."

Could it be that Gu Ji is missing? Su Ruanruan felt vaguely uneasy.

However, she was about to go save Zi Wu and had no time to confirm it.

I hope she's just overthinking it.

Su Ruanruan paused while flipping through the account book, stood up, and looked at Qin Bei's master with a smile, "Qin Bei and I grew up together. He is honest and hardworking."

"He has mentioned you to me more than once. I know you have helped him a lot and taught him a lot over the years. He has always regarded you as a father."

"From today on, I will give this place to Qin Bei. I hope you two can help him run it well."

"I would like to thank you in advance." Su Ruanruan bowed.

"No, no, you are General Huo's man, how dare we accept your courtesy?"

"We have been here for some years and have long regarded this place as our home. Don't worry, we will manage this place well without you having to tell us."

Su Ruanruan was very satisfied and said, "That's great. You guys can go and get busy. Please invite my two guards to the front hall for tea. Tell them that I still have a lot of account books to review. Don't disturb me for an hour."

The two agreed and went out.

Su Ruanruan stood there quietly, watching the two people walk away. She gently ground the ink and picked up the pen to write. She seemed to have a thousand words in her mind, but she didn't know where to start. The ink condensed on the tip of the pen, like a drop of crystal teardrop, quietly dripping, staining the white paper, but she never made a stroke.

She sat quietly at the desk, as if isolated from the world. She was thinking about who she was writing to and for whom, her thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess.

She finally stood up, opened the door, and looked up at the boundless sky. Time was passing quickly, and the promised time was approaching, and it was time for her to leave.

She was as light as a butterfly, and quietly left through the back door without anyone noticing.

Not far away, an inconspicuous carriage was parked quietly. The coachman stood beside the carriage like a sculpture. When he saw her approaching, he jumped off the carriage swiftly and lifted the curtain.

"Where is Purple Mist?"

The driver's face was slightly cold, "Get in the car."

Seeing that Su Ruanruan refused to get in the car, he said, "When you leave Qingshan County, we will naturally release her."

"How can I trust you?"

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Now, you have no choice. If you don't leave, she will be gone forever. Whether she lives or dies is up to you."

Su Ruanruan had no choice but to step onto the carriage and grit her teeth and said, "You'd better keep your word."

The carriage kept moving quickly along the path until the sky was dyed with the glow of the setting sun and stopped.

"Come down!" the driver lifted the curtain.

Su Ruanruan was thinking about things in the carriage and did not pay attention to the surrounding scenery.

After getting off the car, I found that this was a desolate cemetery, and not far away, there was a gorgeous carriage parked abruptly.

When the people in the car lifted the curtain, she finally saw the somewhat familiar figure.

Su Ruanruan's pupils shrank slightly, and she said in disbelief, "Why is it you!"

"It's me. We meet again."

He looked at Su Ruanruan, and found that she was indeed a first-class beauty just as depicted in the painting.

He hadn't noticed it before! He didn't expect that the disguise she used to make herself look ugly was done by that person.

Su Ruanruan didn't want to get too involved with him. They knew each other, but there was no need to reminisce.

"Where's Purple Mist?"

The man smiled and said, "As for her, I put her back. I'm afraid she's almost reached the border of Qingshan County now."

Su Ruanruan stared at him, "How can I trust you?"

"Well, we are acquaintances after all, so I still have some credibility..."

"If I kill her, you will resent me. How can you still work for us?"

He added, "I didn't expect you to regard a maid as so important. I guess my bet was right."

Su Ruanruan smiled coldly, "You are only half right. I really don't know what you want me to do, but where do you get the confidence to think that I will become a puppet that you can manipulate at will?"

After she finished speaking, Su Ruanruan quickly pulled out a silver hairpin from her sleeve and stabbed it into the man's chest like a gust of wind.

However, he held her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, and at the same time, he slapped her on the shoulder. Su Ruanruan staggered and took several steps back, still holding the hairpin tightly in her hand.

She never expected that he actually possessed extraordinary skills. She used to think that he was as gentle and weak as Mu Bai, but she didn't expect that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"You can't kill me. Even if I die, the person behind me is not someone you can afford to mess with." His voice came coldly.

She was no match for these people, and she knew it very well.

Su Runrun's eyes dimmed, and suddenly, she turned the hairpin around and pointed it at her heart.

At this time, the miserable cries of crows could be heard from the sky from time to time, as if they were accompanying this sad scene, and they seemed particularly desolate and appropriate in this lonely pile of graves.

"In the past, between life and death, I would choose life."

"As the saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life. I understand this truth. But today, I don't want to do it."

Su Ruanruan looked at the graves around her and laughed softly, "I didn't expect that my final resting place would be here."

After saying this, the hands holding the hairpin had already penetrated the fabric of the clothes.

"Wait! I won't stop you from dying, but you have to listen to what I have to say."

He glanced at a grave nearby and asked, "Do you know who is lying here?"

Su Ruanruan followed his gaze and saw a grave without a tombstone.

The soil is very moist, probably just recently.

But who is here and what does it have to do with her?

The man curled his lips, "You know the person here, guess who he is?"

Su Ruanruan stared at him without blinking, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Seeing Su Ruanruan’s pale face, he finally covered his lips and laughed.

"Forget it. I'll tell you straight away, this is your childhood sweetheart's father."

Su Ruanruan spoke in a hoarse voice, her pupils trembled violently, and she suddenly looked towards the grave.

"You...you mean, this is..."

"Yes, it's him, your Uncle Gu Yong."

Thinking about going to the furniture factory today, Qin Bei was not there. They said that the brother he grew up with was nowhere to be found...

There was a sudden blockage in her heart, which caused her great pain.

If this is Uncle Gu Yong, then what about Gu Ji? Could he have also met with an accident?

Su Ruanruan let out a long breath, and her eyes gradually turned red.
