After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship
Chapter 204 Afternoon
Yun Duo led Su Ruan Ruan to the most famous jewelry store in Beijing. The dazzling array of jewelry in this store was dazzling, and its exquisiteness far exceeded those in Qingshan County, so the prices were naturally very high.
Bai Yun had been here once before, but she just came here to enjoy the sight. She was simply reluctant to buy such an expensive thing.
Su Ruanruan stored most of the rewards she received in her own space, and only took out a small part for daily use. Nowadays, there are other servants in the county lord's mansion, and every aspect of life requires money.
Although the jewelry in front of her was indeed very beautiful, she didn't feel it was necessary to buy it.
But Baiyun liked it so much that his eyes were drawn to the golden headpiece and he even wanted to throw himself into it.
The shop owner noticed Bai Yun's love for the product, but he could also tell that she had no intention of buying it. Since Bai Yun came with Su Ruan Ruan, the shrewd and sophisticated shop owner was of course aware of Su Ruan Ruan's identity, so he didn't dare to drive Bai Yun out easily.
I could only tell Baiyun that her other shop had a few sets of outdated headwear and asked her to go and have a look. If she liked them, I could buy them at a lower price.
Su Ruanruan had just experienced a miscarriage and was still very weak. When she heard that the store was a bit far away, she really didn't want to go through the hard work with them, so she decided to stay in the store and wait for her.
The shop owner was considerate and arranged for the waiter to make a cup of fragrant rain-previous Longjing tea for Su Ruanruan, and carefully prepared several delicious snacks. Then, the shop owner went to entertain other guests.
Su Ruanruan felt a little sleepy. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, wanting to rest for a while. At this moment, a loud voice came into her ears, "General Huo, please come in."
Su Ruanruan suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the door. She saw Huo Yan had already walked in, with a petite and pretty woman standing beside him. That person was Fu Xinrou.
Huo Yan's eyes met hers, but after just a cold glance, he quickly looked away.
Fu Xinrou certainly noticed Su Ruanruan's presence, and she couldn't help but feel nervous, stirring the handkerchief in her hand unconsciously. After all, this was her first time to meet Su Ruanruan face to face at such a close distance.
She was about to say, "Su..."
However, before she could finish her words, Huo Yan's arm had already reached out, gently holding her waist, and said in a low voice, "What do you like? I'll buy it for you."
Fu Xinrou lowered her head shyly and said softly, "As long as Brother Huo likes it, I'm not picky."
At this moment, Huo Yan's right hand slowly stroked the dagger inlaid with dazzling diamonds at his waist, "You have given me the most precious gift, and I will give you a set of headgear that you like in return."
Seeing this, the shop owner quickly interrupted and said, "General Huo and Miss Fu are about to get married. They are a match made in heaven! The goods in our shop are all top-quality and the prices are absolutely fair and reasonable. You can choose with confidence..."
Su Runrun's gaze slowly moved away from Fu Xinrou's shy face, and then fell on the dagger hanging on Huo Yan's waist, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart.
She frowned slightly, closed her eyes and thought carefully for a while. Suddenly, the scene of being imprisoned by the flower thief and then being rescued by Huo Yan and others emerged in her mind.
The scene in her memory gradually became clearer, and Su Ruanruan was surprised to find that the dagger on Huo Yan's waist was exactly the same as the one she accidentally lost a gem with? !
Thinking back, they had gone to Crow's Nest but had not found the lost gem. Yet now, the dagger was hanging on him intact.
A thought flashed through her mind - Huo Yan deceived her!
But why did he lie to her?
It turns out that this dagger was a gift from Fu Xinrou to Huo Yan. No wonder he cherished it so much.
When Su Ruanruan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart. The complicated entanglement between her and Huo Yan seemed to have started from this.
Recalling these past events, Su Runrun had mixed emotions and it was difficult to express her inner feelings in words.
Do you feel like you have become a part of their play?
Su Ruanruan suddenly lifted up the hem of her skirt, her face was frighteningly gloomy, and she cursed in a low voice, "Fuck!"
Then he walked out of the jewelry shop without looking back.
After she gradually walked away and disappeared, Huo Yan slowly withdrew his gaze and distanced himself from Fu Xinrou beside him. His eyes still stayed in the direction where Su Ruanruan had just left, and he did not move away for a long time.
Fu Xinrou, who was standing at the side, saw every move of Huo Yan. A hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Recalling the night when she walked out of the cell, the thought that she might never see her loved ones again overwhelmed her with great pain, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Brother Huo's warm and generous arms, seeking comfort just like she did when she was a child.
However, Brother Huo simply patted her back gently and comforted her in a low and gentle voice.
On the day when the Fu family man was executed, Brother Huo and the Dali Temple officers left in a hurry before dawn. Fu Xinrou was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask more questions, so she could only quietly inquire about the reason. Later, she learned that it was her father who wanted to summon Brother Huo alone.
As for what they talked about, Fu Xinrou had no idea. When he came back, she learned that Brother Huo had gone to see the emperor and exchanged his life for the golden medal of immunity from death.
Before her brother was exiled, Brother Huo secretly took her to see him. After meeting her brother, they spent some time alone together, during which her brother kept telling her to take good care of herself. Before leaving, her brother leaned over and whispered something in her ear, but strangely, she didn't hear anything clearly.
Just as the two were parting, she noticed that when Brother Huo's eyes met her brother's, there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
This sudden scene made her feel confused. She wanted to ask Brother Huo why he saved her brother, but she didn't dare to ask. She always felt that it was related to her father's meeting with him before his death.
However, what shocked her even more was that just one night later, the emperor actually issued an edict to grant marriage between Brother Huo and her.
……
On the other side, Su Ruanruan had just walked out of the room and turned the corner when she unexpectedly bumped into someone.
"Oh, it hurts so much! Are you blind? You walk without eyes!" Before Su Ruanruan could react, the other party had already yelled fiercely. Su Ruanruan rubbed her hurt shoulder and felt a little unhappy when she heard the other party's bad tone.
She was indeed a little absent-minded, so much so that she ignored the road ahead, but when she heard the other party's words, she swallowed back the apology that she wanted to blurt out.
Su Ruanruan had a cold smile on her face. She raised her hand without hesitation and slapped the other person hard. The crisp sound echoed in the air, "How dare you be so arrogant and rude after bumping into someone!"
Mudan subconsciously covered her swollen and hot cheeks and looked at the person in front of her in astonishment. It was not until this moment that she really saw that the other person was actually a peerless beauty.
She had seen all the noble ladies in the capital, but she had no impression of this strange woman who claimed to be the county lady. Suddenly, she recalled the name that had been hotly discussed in the city in recent days - Su Ruanruan.
At the same time, the maid beside her hurriedly leaned over to Mudan's ear and whispered, "Miss, this person is the county lady who was canonized by the current emperor."
Mudan was shocked and looked at Su Ruanruan carefully again. As expected, just as she guessed, the person in front of her was the rumored Su Ruanruan.
She bowed perfunctorily, "Mudan greets Princess Yongning."
Su Runrun raised her eyebrows and looked at the pretty woman in front of her.
Peony? This name doesn't sound like a lady's maiden name.
Su Ruanruan blinked and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Mudan tilted her head slightly, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes revealed a hint of frivolity and arrogance.
She casually glanced at the maid standing beside her, and the maid immediately understood and raised her head and said, "My girl is a famous courtesan in the capital!"
Su Ruanruan followed the crowd's gaze and saw that many people stretched their necks and stared at the movement here with great interest. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
I saw a trace of contemptuous smile on her lips, and she whispered softly, "Oiran..."
Then, she actually walked slowly around the peony and commented calmly, "It's just like this..."
"You!" Mudan's lips, which were originally raised, suddenly stiffened and pursed into a straight line. She stared at Su Ruanruan with wide eyes in disbelief, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Su Ruanruan suddenly raised her chin, looked at the other person with a provocative look, and asked, "What about me?"
"Huh, you are just a farm girl who grew up in the countryside. You are just a little pretty at most. Do you know how to sing, play music or dance? How dare you look down on me like this?" Mudan responded with disdain.
Facing Mudan's ridicule, Su Ruanruan did not back down, "So what if I don't know how to do it? I can learn."
Hearing this, Mudan couldn't help but snort coldly, "By the time the county lady learns it, she will probably be old and ugly."
Seeing Mudan being so arrogant, Su Ruanruan immediately pretended to be very angry, put her hands on her hips, widened her eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your stinky mouth apart!"
"I will remember the humiliation I suffered today. I will fight you and let you witness with your own eyes how I defeat you!"
Mudan was obviously very surprised by Su Ruanruan's challenge. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Just you?"
Bai Yun struggled to push through the crowd and squeezed to the front, saying anxiously, "Auntie, what are you doing? Others may not understand, but don't I understand you?"
"You've never learned music or dancing, and you've never even seen what a zither looks like! How can you compete with her? She has been exposed to these things since she was a child, and it's not something that can be mastered in a short period of time. You're a latecomer, aren't you embarrassing yourself?!"
Su Ruanruan: "..."
After hearing Bai Yun's words, everyone knew that she and Su Ruanruan were from the same place - Qingshan County, so they naturally believed what she said.
They felt more and more that Su Runrun spoke without thinking, and that such a blatant challenge was simply asking for trouble. Wasn't it just a slap in her own face?
Su Ruanruan pretended to be angry, stamped her feet and shouted, "I don't care about that! Anyway, I want to fight her in this ring match! See you in a month and a half!"
Bai Yun was stunned and speechless for a moment, "It seems that all I said just now was in vain."
After the two of them left, the news that Su Ruanruan was going to compete with Mudan spread quickly throughout the capital as if it had wings.
People were talking about the upcoming match with great interest, waiting to see Su Ruanruan make a fool of herself. Some people even opened a gambling game, betting that Su Ruanruan would definitely lose.
She was just like an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot! How could she possibly win by trying to hit a rock with an egg? The result of this competition was known before the competition even started. It would be strange if she didn't lose!
However, at this moment, Su Ruanruan was sitting leisurely in the rocking chair, smiling from ear to ear with joy.
"Wow, the odds are too high. If I don't bet on myself to win, it would be a huge loss!" Su Ruanruan muttered to herself with a sly smile.
Zi Wu, who was standing by, was about to leave after receiving the order, but was suddenly stopped by Su Ruan Ruan, "Wait, go out and find a few more masters for me, and be quick! Remember to spread the news, let everyone in the capital know that I'm going to start learning dancing, piano playing, and singing!"
Hearing this, Zi Wu suddenly realized.
She had witnessed her master playing the guqin in the tofu shop before. Although she didn't know why her master played the guqin, seeing that her master was confident and determined, she must have had a plan in mind.
After a sweet dream, at dawn, several masters came to the door impatiently. However, Su Ruanruan was unusually absent-minded. She was absent-minded from time to time, and yawned from time to time, as if what others said or did had nothing to do with her.
When the masters began to teach Su Ruanruan's musical skills, her fingers plucked the strings randomly, and the sounds produced were chaotic and had no beauty at all.
And when she tried to sing, her tone-deaf voice made people laugh, and even the most basic dance moves were very stiff and awkward.
Several teachers looked at this student in front of them. He walked in with a frown every day and left with a frown on his face.
Although they have tried their best to teach, Su Ruanruan's condition has not improved at all.
This situation lasted for quite a while, and the people around saw it. Everyone was originally looking forward to this competition, but now seeing Su Ruanruan like this, they all asserted that she would definitely lose.
As a result, more people placed bets on Su Ruanruan to lose without hesitation.
Because she always ran into Su Zhen following her when she went out, Su Runrun simply locked herself in the county lord's mansion and refused to see anyone except a few masters.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, all certain that Su Runrun would lose.
During this time, the Heart-Erosion Poison attacked her several times and almost took away half her life. Visiting invitations from the Su Mansion came to her like snowflakes, but she politely declined them all.
In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding day of Huo Yan and Fu Xinrou.
