After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

The firecrackers were blasting, the atmosphere was lively and bustling, the long streets were crowded with people, and blessings were heard one after another.

Huo Yan, dressed in a red groom's suit, sat upright on the horse with a calm expression, nodding slightly to the cheering crowd.

As if he sensed someone was watching him, his eyes suddenly moved upwards, but he did not see any figure by the window. It was all just an illusion.

Su Ruanruan hid by the window, filled a glass of wine for herself, and raised the glass high, "Huo Yan, from today on, you and I are strangers."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. At the palace banquet, Su Runruan sat upright, examining everyone in the palace.

Sitting in front of her were Princess Jingyi and her treasured adopted daughter Su Qingyu, while Baiyun sat in an inconspicuous position at the back.

Huo Yan and Fu Xinrou sat together, their loving appearance making others envious. After not seeing them for a long time, the scar between his eyebrows had faded so much that it was almost unnoticeable, making him look even more handsome and masculine.

It really is true that women dress up to please themselves, and men will also radiate radiance for the man they love.

Su Ruanruan's gaze moved again and met a pair of gentle eyes. Su Zhen's body had not yet recovered, and his heart disease was even more difficult to cure.

He visited her many times with gifts, but was always turned away by Su Ruanruan.

He knew that Su Ruanruan would definitely attend the palace banquet today, so he forced himself to come despite his sick body, just to see her a few more times from a distance.

Su Ruanruan pursed her lips and glanced to the side, only to see a man smiling at her. His face was as handsome as jade, which could be described as "the man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world."

Su Ruanruan instantly realized his identity. He was Su Tinghan, who had returned with Prince Yi from the disaster relief mission, and was also the original owner's elder brother.

During these days, he and Su Zhen visited Su Ruanruan's residence many times, but were always turned away.

She glanced at Su Ruowu who was sitting next to Su Tinghan again, and saw that he was also looking at Su Runruan with a gloomy expression.

Finally, Su Ruanruan smiled slightly, curled her lips and looked at the one-eyed Chu Ran who was sitting next to the King of Zhennan. At this time, Chu Ran was holding the wine glass tightly, and his eyes like a venomous snake were glued to Su Ruanruan. I heard that he had been resting in the mansion these days, so this behavior was uncharacteristic.

Su Ruanruan calmly raised the wine glass in her hand and drank it all.

She felt as if there was a pair of gazes piercing her back, and suddenly raised her head to look at the people in high positions, only to find that they were enjoying the singer's dance with great interest, as if everything was just her illusion.

Su Ruanruan had no interest in the singing and dancing performance. She just lowered her head and savored the plate of exquisite almond cakes in front of her.

A slender white hand reached out, and another plate of untouched almond cakes appeared in front of her. The maid carefully filled Su Ruanruan's glass with fruit wine and said softly, "County Lady, Prince Su saw that you liked it, so he asked me to bring his portion to you as well."

Su Ruanruan looked up and saw Su Tinghan nodding and smiling at her.

She smiled slightly. With so many people watching her at the banquet, it was difficult for her to refuse his kindness.

But she never touched the plate of almond cakes again.

With cups and glasses changing and laughter ringing out, Su Ruanruan tasted the fruit wine in front of her one cup after another.

The maid looked at the empty wine glass and slowly filled it up.

Su Ruanruan propped up her chin and glanced at her with a smile, "Are you trying to get me drunk?"

The maid paused while pouring the wine, and said in a fearful tone, "This fruit wine is sweet and fragrant. I thought you, the county lady, would like to drink it..."

Su Ruanruan grabbed her cold hand and said, "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you. Why are you so nervous?"

The maid secretly glanced in Chu Ran's direction and said tremblingly, "I am nervous because I am afraid of offending you, my noble lady."

Su Ruanruan pushed the wine glass forward again and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, pour it."

The palace maid's hand trembled, and the wine flowed out like beads from a broken string, soaking most of Su Ruanruan's sleeves.

The maid was panicked and was about to kneel down, but Su Ruanruan smiled and held her down, "It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing, I'll go out with you and deal with it."

Su Ruanruan slowly left with the palace maid. Under the guidance of the palace maid, they turned left and right and finally walked into an inconspicuous side hall.

As soon as the door closed, a sharp dagger was pressed against the maid's throat like a poisonous snake.

"What is your intention in bringing me here?"

"I... I didn't do anything. There are several sets of new clothes prepared here for the young ladies to prevent them from getting their clothes dirty. That's why I brought the county lady here..."

The palace maid's eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look Su Ruanruan in the eye. There was obvious guilt in her words.

Su Runrun was suspicious and was about to ask further questions when suddenly she smelled a faint fragrance in the air.

This taste...

"Oh no, it's the incense!" Su Ruanruan thought to herself that something was wrong.

She hit the maid's neck with a dagger, and she fainted instantly. Then she tore the handkerchief into rags and stuffed them into her nose.

Just as she put the maid on the bed, she heard hurried footsteps outside the room. She hastily blew out the candles in the room and hid behind the screen in the dark like a civet cat.

In a moment, the palace door was pushed open, and a dark shadow walked in quietly like a ghost.

"Beauty, beauty, where are you?" The man's voice came, and Su Runruan suddenly realized that someone wanted to destroy her with this despicable trick.

Having sex in the palace is a serious crime. She hid where she was, and touched her cheek with her hand, only to feel the heat in her body increase a little more. This incense was so strong.

There were heavy breathing and the rustling of clothes coming from the other end. Su Ruanruan took advantage of the two people's confusion and pushed open the door quietly and left.

The night was cool, but Su Ruanruan felt like she was in purgatory, and the heat on her body became increasingly unbearable. She was not familiar with this huge palace, and in this state, she could not return to the palace banquet.

She stumbled towards the lake, stumbled, and nearly fell. Fortunately, someone beside her helped her up, "County Lady, be careful."

"Thank you." Su Runrun quickly glanced at the little eunuch who was bowing his head, then turned and left.

About half an hour later, Su Ruanruan walked down from a hidden pavilion on the hillside. When passing by the lake, she was surprised to find that the place was crowded with people.

Seeing her coming, Su Tinghan hurried forward and protected her behind him.

She didn't understand what was going on yet, but Huo Yan's furious voice came from the other side.

"Su Ruanruan, Xinrou has no grudge against you in the past or today, why do you want to harm her?"

Su Ruanruan faced everyone's gaze and flashed out from behind Su Tinghan.

The people who had originally formed a circle made way for them one after another, and Su Runrun finally saw Huo Yan's cold eyes through the lantern held by the palace maid standing beside him.

There was also Fu Xinrou, who was curled up in his arms, tightly wrapped in a cloak.

A jade pendant was thrown accurately into Su Ruanruan's arms. Su Ruanruan stroked the rough pattern on it and looked at her waist. The jade pendant there had long disappeared. That's right, it was the one in her hand.

"What does this mean?" Su Ruanruan asked.

Su Tinghan took a step forward and said, "General Huo, although this jade pendant belongs to me, is it too rash to conclude that I pushed Miss Fu into the water just because it appeared at the place where she fell into the water?"

"Xinrou is kindhearted, innocent, and has no grudges against anyone. Who would want to harm her? Why did she happen to be pushed into the lake when Xinrou saw her coming to the lake, and why did she happen to be pushed into the lake when she was looking for her, and why did the jade fall to the side?"

Su Tinghan said, "My little sister is free to go wherever she wants. Why does it become her deliberate plan when she comes to you?"

The two of them exchanged blows, tit for tat, neither showing any weakness.

It was not until the words "vicious" reached Su Ruanruan's ears that her thoughts suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at Huo Yan, only to see that his face was even colder than the cold weather.

Su Ruanruan knew very well that he hated her because she had aborted the child. Even with so many coincidences, he was unwilling to believe her.

Su Ruanruan didn't want to argue with him, so when she saw the imperial physician rushing over, she stood aside silently.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Fu Xinrou slowly woke up in Huo Yan's arms.

"Brother Huo... I'm so cold." Fu Xinrou's voice was weak.

Huo Yan glanced at Su Ruanruan, then looked at Fu Xinrou, "I'll take you away first..."

Before Su Ruanruan could speak, Su Tinghan on the side called out to them, "Wait a minute, if you want to leave, Miss Fu, you need to explain everything clearly, otherwise my sister's reputation will be ruined if you leave."

Fu Xinrou looked confused, turned to look at Huo Yan, and asked, "Brother Huo, what does Prince Su mean by this?"
