After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

Thinking of the heartbreaking scene when he saw Su Ruanruan at the execution ground today, Huo Yan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and endless self-blame surged in his heart. He knew that he should have stood by her side and protected her from any harm.

"Ruanruan, we will have our own children in the future." Huo Yan sat next to Su Ruanruan and held her hand tightly.

However, Su Ruanruan's answer was like a sharp blade, ruthlessly piercing Huo Yan's heart.

"Huo Yan, I gave up this child on my own initiative."

Huo Yan's eyes widened, looking at Su Ruanruan in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "What? What did you just say?"

Su Ruanruan raised her head slightly, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and then she said clearly word by word, "I said, I drank the abortion pill and gave up the child myself."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shattering the last glimmer of hope in Huo Yan's heart. How much he longed to hear another answer, even if it was just a lie!

But the truth is so cruel, Su Ruanruan admitted it herself.

Huo Yan felt his sanity collapse instantly, he could not accept this cruel truth. He would rather believe that he heard it wrong, or that it was all just a nightmare, but Su Ruanruan in front of him was so real.

Complex emotions such as disappointment, sadness, pain and resentment, like a surging flood, continuously rushed into his eyes and quickly filled every corner of them.

His eyes were slightly cold, and his hands were like iron pliers, tightly grasping Su Ruanruan's delicate and white neck. A hoarse, low and angry questioning voice came from his throat, "Su Ruanruan, how could you treat me like this!!"

"You have such a cruel heart! Why did you torture me like this? Why did you abort our child?"

"I have already told you honestly that there is no romantic relationship between Fu Xinrou and I, and I have also begged His Majesty to grant us the marriage, but you still refuse to believe what I said?"

At this moment, Su Runruan was also in agony. She used all her strength to tightly grasp Huo Yan's hands, trying to break free from his shackles.

At this thrilling moment, she clearly felt the hatred in Huo Yan's eyes that was so strong that it was about to burst out.

"I... once said that only you and Fu Xinrou can be called... a perfect couple made in heaven, and I have no intention of... coming between you... "

"But you knew how much I hated Fu Hengfeng, and you knew how tragically Xiaoxi died and how much pain I was in, yet you saved his life. You actually saved him. You deserve to die!"

Su Ruanruan widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, her heart filled with despair and anger.

She felt as if her chest was being pressed down by a huge rock, unable to breathe, and a strong sense of suffocation surged like a tide. However, at this moment, she suddenly laughed, and tears slid down her cheeks.

Huo Yan slowly loosened his hands that were tightly pinching Su Ruanruan's neck. His originally deep eyes now turned scarlet, as if burning with rage.

"Su Ruanruan, I do have my own reasons regarding Fu Hengfeng's matter." Huo Yan's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness.

"But the child is innocent! Do you have a heart? He is not only my child, he is also your own flesh and blood! How could you be so cruel as to kill him with your own hands?"

He slowly stood up, his face covered with pain, his eyes sad and desperate.

"Su Ruanruan, why can't I see through you? Do you really have no feelings for me? Even just a little bit..." His voice was low and hoarse.

Su Ruan Ruan stared at him fearlessly, "Never! From the moment you saved Fu Hengfeng, you have become my, Su Ruan Ruan's, sworn enemy! In this life, or even in the next life, I will never have the slightest love for you!"

Her words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, but he was powerless to refute. Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth and added, "I wish you and Fu Xinrou will be locked together for the rest of your life!"

For a moment, it seemed as if time had stopped flowing, and the whole room was shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere, with deathly silence.

Only Huo Yan's heavy and low breathing sounded abruptly in the silence, like bursts of thunder, deafening.

After a long time, so long that it seemed as if time had stopped, he finally spoke again, but his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. "Okay, very good!"

"Su Ruanruan, I didn't expect you to be so heartless and cold! If that's the case, then I'll do as you wish!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, staggered away, leaving behind only a lonely and resolute back.

The next morning, Emperor Shun ended his trip to the hot spring palace, returned to the palace, and issued two edicts.

One was to grant Huo Yan and Fu Xinrou their marriage, allowing them to get married during the period of mourning.

The second decree conferred the title of Princess of Yongning on Su Ruanruan, and granted her a mansion, shops, 100 hectares of fertile land, 1,000 taels of gold, and 10 boxes of jewels.

The next thing that was delivered was a letter of release written by Huo Yan himself.

The people did not know that Su Runruan was pregnant and had an abortion, but when they heard that Huo Yan had actually given Su Runruan a letter to release him, some people felt lucky for Huo Yan - that unlucky general was finally away from them.

However, some people began to feel sorry for him, thinking that a great hero like him should be matched with a noble woman with a distinguished family background, so why would he marry the daughter of a criminal?

Su Ruan Ruan silently looked up at the silver-grey clouds in the sky. The north wind was biting and the cold current was piercing, as if foreshadowing the coming of a blizzard.

As expected, after nightfall, heavy snow fluttered down like goose feathers, instantly decorating the entire capital city into a pure white world.

Everything was quiet, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. Su Runrun suddenly woke up from a nightmare.

She blinked her sleepy eyes and through the hazy veil, vaguely saw a man sitting quietly on a chair.

Seeing that she woke up, Xiaoyu stood up and slowly walked over to her and closed the gauze curtain.

"What's wrong? You've done so many bad things that you're having nightmares?"

Su Ruanruan calmed down and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why am I here? Of course, I want to find out what you are going to do! After you break up with Huo Yan, how are you going to steal the defense map of the capital and hand it over to me?"

Xiaoyu slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out a hand and gently lifted Su's chin, with a questioning tone, "Tell me, what are you planning?"

Su Ruanruan stubbornly turned her head to one side, avoiding Xiaoyu's hand, "I have kept my promise and not exposed you, why did you come to my house?"

"Besides, there is still some time before the agreed three-month deadline. Why are you in such a hurry? I just want to know, is it you who wants this defense map, or the person hiding behind you?"

Xiaoyu raised her lips slightly and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so curious. But it doesn't matter, since you want to know, I will tell you, so that you can die with a clear understanding. In fact, getting the defense map of the capital is just a small test for you."

He paused, and continued, "But don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. If the three-month deadline has arrived and you still haven't handed over the defense map to me, then the heart-eating poison hidden in your body will gradually erode your blood and sweat. By then, even elixirs and miraculous medicines will be powerless to save you. The only outcome waiting for you is death."

Hearing this, Su Ruanruan not only did not show any fear, but smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your kind reminder."

As she spoke, she quickly turned her wrist, and in the blink of an eye, a sharp dagger with a cold glow was already across Xiaoyu's neck.

"Speak!" Su Runrun's eyes were as cold as ice as she stared at Xiaoyu, questioning her in a bone-chilling voice.

"Who are you working for? At first, I thought you were sent by Chu Ran, but you firmly denied it."

"Then why not tell me directly, who is the real master hiding behind you and manipulating everything? In addition, what is your purpose in catching me so deliberately?"

Facing the extremely sharp blade against her neck, Xiaoyu remained calm and even laughed softly. This laughter was low and a little sarcastic, "You absolutely dare not kill me. If you kill me, you will never find the truth you want."

"You don't even know who you should seek revenge on. What's more... with your current abilities, you can't kill me at all." After saying this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Before she finished speaking, Su Ruanruan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist. She looked down in astonishment, only to see that the dagger in her hand had been taken away by Xiaoyu at some point.

Xiaoyu held the dagger in her hand, looked at Su Ruanruan with pity, and sighed softly, "Alas, what a pity! I have a strong feeling that not only will you fail to complete the mission, but I'm afraid your chances of removing the poison and living to see that day are slim."

"Shouldn't your top priority be to steal the defense map? Why are you so obsessed with who your enemy is? Life or the truth, which is more important? You should weigh it yourself."

Su Ruanruan leaned back on the soft pillow and said with a smile, "What if I don't die if I do nothing?"

Xiaoyu stared at her closely for several times, her face full of disbelief, and said firmly, "Absolutely impossible! Only my master can remove this kind of poisonous insect. Without his help, anyone who is poisoned will surely die, without exception."

"Maybe... I am that special person." Su Ruanruan smiled gently.

Xiaoyu suddenly swung her arm, and the dagger in her hand flew out like lightning and inserted steadily into the cabinet door, with the sharp blade flashing a terrifying cold light.

She stared at Su Ruanruan and said sternly, "If you are still alive and well in three months, I will naturally tell you the clues you want to know."

Su Ruanruan lowered her eyes slightly, and silently made a small calculation in her heart, "Okay! Then it's settled. When the three-month period is up, I will quietly wait for your news here..."

After watching Xiaoyu walk further and further away until she disappeared, Su Runrun turned back to the room, sat down at the table, and carefully read the detailed booklet in her private vault.

After Xiaoyu left, Su Runrun looked through the detailed book in her private vault. She had already put the real gold and silver into the space for exchange, but the space would not accept the remaining rare treasures. These and the shop were all gifts from the emperor, so she couldn't sell them.

Adding what we got from Chu Ran’s secret room, we are still a full 100,000 taels short of our goal!

Even if we rent out several shops, it is absolutely impossible to raise so much money in a short period of time!

Moreover, those shops have not had time to be tidied up and cleaned. If they want to open for business, they will not only have to repaint and renovate them, but also buy new tables, chairs, benches and so on. This will take a lot of time and energy. It is estimated that the cost will not be recovered within three months, right?

Where can you make money quickly?

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.

Yun Duo was worried about Su Ruan Ruan, so she took the initiative to invite her to go out and play to relax.

Now Su Runruan is of noble status, being the head of a county. Ordinary people naturally dare not point fingers at her or make comments about her in person, but after she passed by, they could not help but whisper to each other.

Back then, when Emperor Shun conferred the title on Su Ruanruan, he stated that she had half royal blood in her body and had a miserable life, so he conferred her the title of County Princess to demonstrate the royal family's generosity and benevolence.

Bai Yun heard the gossips of the people around him and couldn't help but glare at them fiercely, muttering, "I really want to find an embroidery needle to sew all these people's mouths shut!"

Su Ruanruan saw this and said, "I remember that you were most afraid of holding needles and thread before. What's the matter? Have you learned the skill of embroidery now?"

"Su Ruanruan, you are really talking nonsense! You still have the nerve to say that. It was you who instigated my father to force me to learn that stupid girl's red art, right? You knew that I was most afraid of this in my life, and you actually encouraged my father to torture me like this."

Su Ruanruan glanced at him and said, "Humph, you make it sound like I'm the bad guy. I don't know which vicious person was the one who whipped Mu Bai and me. She was just a fierce woman."

Bai Yun looked at Su Ruanruan and smiled helplessly, "Look at you, you're still holding a grudge. I've already admitted my mistake to you. I was young and ignorant at that time." As she spoke, every little detail of the past emerged in her mind.

He sighed softly again, turned to look at Su Ruanruan, and asked softly, "Do you really not know where Brother Mu Bai is?"

When Su Ruanruan heard the name "Mu Bai", her heart suddenly trembled, as if something was stabbed hard. Her eyes became dim, and after a long time she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "I... don't know."

Looking at Su Runrun's painful and confused expression, Bai Yun felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself in the face.

He secretly cursed himself, wondering why he had such a short memory. He knew that mentioning Mu Bai would make Su Ruanruan sad, but he still couldn't control his mouth.

In order to divert Su Ruanruan's attention, Bai Yun quickly took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front for a walk."
