After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

Su Runruan took a small step forward, and her beautiful eyes gently moved across Fu Xinrou's pretty face.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is what happened, Mrs. Huo. Some people said that you chased me to the lake, and the lake was not frozen solid because the ice had just been broken for fishing. Then, unfortunately, I pushed you into the water..."

At this point, Su Ruanruan paused deliberately, and then continued, "Look, this jade pendant is the evidence found by the lake! Now, please tell them in front of everyone whether I pushed you over or not?"

Su Runrun raised her eyebrows slightly and stared straight at Fu Xinrou. Not only her, but everyone else around them also looked at Fu Xinrou, waiting for her to give an answer.

You know, there are some people at the scene waiting to see Su Ruanruan's good show! If she could have a husband like Huo Yan to support her.

Even if it wasn't Su Runrun who pushed anyone into the water, she could still be said to have done it or be vague and say that she didn't see who it was.

After all, almost everyone knew that Su Ruanruan and Huo Yan had had such a relationship. Although the two ended up without any result, anyone would feel uncomfortable when thinking about it. Isn't this a perfect opportunity to cause trouble for Su Ruanruan and make her uncomfortable?

Fu Xinrou was slightly startled, and then explained, "Brother Huo, it really wasn't the county lady who pushed me into the water. I fell in by accident."

Fu Xinrou took a deep breath and continued, "I felt a little dizzy after staying in the palace, so I came out to get some fresh air. As I was walking, I saw the county lady walking towards the lake from a distance, so I thought of saying hello to her."

"But when I chased after her, I found that the county lady was nowhere to be found. I accidentally stepped on a jade pendant and bent down to pick it up for a look. Suddenly, I felt dizzy and my body involuntarily fell forward, and I accidentally fell into the lake."

Fu Xinrou looked at Su Ruanruan with an apologetic look on her face and said softly, "County Princess, I'm so sorry for making you feel wronged..."

However, Huo Yan only glanced at Su Ruanruan coldly, and said in a cold tone, "Xinrou is kind-hearted, so I don't want to argue with you. As for whether you are good or evil, intentional or unintentional, I'm afraid only you know it best in your heart."

After saying this, Huo Yan hugged Fu Xinrou and left with the imperial physician without looking back.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the group went to the palace banquet.

Su Tinghan said softly, "Brother, I believe that you didn't do this. You are definitely not the kind of person who harbors malicious intentions or has ulterior motives."

However, facing Su Tinghan's words, Su Ruanruan's expression was indifferent, "I am just an orphan, how can I have a brother? I dare not marry into the Su Guogong Mansion."

"Besides, the prince and I are not familiar with each other, so how can you say that I am a kind-hearted person?"

"Don't call me sister anymore. If Her Royal Highness the Princess knew about this, she would probably blame me."

After saying these words, Su Ruanruan nodded slightly, then quickly turned and left.

As soon as she entered the palace, Su Ruanruan saw two people kneeling on the ground being dragged away by the guards. From their faces, it was hard not to guess what they had just done.

The woman's hair was loose, and she was the palace maid who was knocked unconscious by her. She didn't know who the man was.

The palace maid's gaze rested on Su Ruanruan for a moment, her mouth opened and closed a few times and then closed again, but she did not tell anyone that she had knocked her out.

But the man kept shouting that he was innocent.

After the two men were dragged out, Huo Yan came with Fu Xinrou who had changed her clothes. He said his wife was not feeling well, so he said goodbye to Emperor Shun and left.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Su Ruanruan again. Needless to say, what happened at the lake just now had been told by some gossipy people.

Su Ruanruan twisted a silver needle as thin as an ox hair hidden in her sleeve, thinking secretly in her heart that this love fragrance was far more fierce and difficult to resist than she had expected.

Not long ago, she was in the pavilion and had to harden her heart and let blood flow from the tips of her ten fingers, only then did she suppress the fire of lust surging in her body with difficulty, but at this moment, that feeling of heat came quietly again.

Concubine De cast her eyes towards Su Ruanruan and asked with concern, "Princess Yongning, I see that your face is red. Are you feeling unwell?"

Facing Concubine De's question, Su Ruanruan smiled calmly and replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just can't drink much and I'm a little drunk. It's nothing serious."

Concubine De curled her lips and smiled, "That's great. Just now, a palace maid and a guard dared to do something shameful in the side hall. After the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital diagnosed it, they lit a fragrant incense that can stimulate sexual desire in the side hall."

"I suddenly remembered that it was she who led you out to change your clothes. I was worried that you would get into trouble. Now that you are safe and sound, that's great."

Su Ruanruan nodded respectfully to show that she understood, and then explained, "Thanks to the queen's concern, she was originally going to take me to change clothes, but because I was really unwell after being drunk, I changed my mind halfway and went to the pavilion to stay for a while to get some fresh air and sober up. As for the side hall, I didn't even step into it."

Su Ruanruan's eyes moved slowly, and finally stopped at Chu Ran, and she said softly, "Fortunately I didn't set foot in it, otherwise I might be the one who angered the emperor today."

Chu Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. This smile made Su Ruanruan's heart tighten, and she tried hard to keep herself awake.

She knew in her heart that the incense was most likely from Chu Ran's hand. However, who was the one who found the jade pendant by the lake?

Just as his thoughts were drifting away, he suddenly heard Emperor Shun speaking from the high throne, "I heard recently that you made a bet with someone else. Is that true?"

Su Ruanruan suddenly came back to her senses and replied with horror, "Your Majesty, you also knew about this? I am so ashamed!"

"I... I was just impulsive at the time, and I said something outrageous. Now that the words have been spoken, it's hard to take them back. But I can't be a treacherous person... So I can only grit my teeth and do my best to deal with this competition..."

Emperor Shun smiled slightly, as if he found it very interesting, and continued to ask, "So, have you gained anything during this period of time? Are you confident that you can win this game?"

Su Ruanruan lowered her head.

Seeing this, Concubine De said, "Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve and the whole country is celebrating. Why don't you let Princess Yongning dance or sing for us to add to the festivities and let us see if her seclusion these days has produced any results."

Su Ruanruan pretended to be terrified, "Your Majesty, I can't do it."

The virtuous concubine next to Emperor Shun looked at Su Ruanruan tenderly, and then said softly to Emperor Shun, "Your Majesty, don't embarrass the child. Girls are shy."

Concubine De glanced at her and said, "Sister Xianfei is right. Appearance is innate, but poetry, music, calligraphy, painting and etiquette must be cultivated from childhood. It is useless to work hard at the last minute."

She added, "Your Majesty, Qingyu has prepared a new dance and is waiting to present it to you and Rui'er on New Year's Eve. Would you like to take a look? And also let the head of Yongning County take a look and learn a little bit?"

The virtuous concubine curled her lips, and the virtuous concubine made an indirect criticism. Wasn't this just a satire on her family who had been martial artists for generations and were incapable of literary arts?

Her father was a military commander, her brother was a military commander who died for his country, and even her nephew Huo Yan was a great general.

They were all her pride. She had also held a red tasseled spear since she was a child, but she had never touched these things again after entering the palace. She still missed them a little.

Concubine Xian had no intention of looking at Su Qingyu, who was dancing with her sleeves flying in the audience. She was Concubine De's daughter-in-law and had nothing to do with her.

Her eyes fell on Su Ruanruan. This girl was really pretty, but she was unlucky in her fate and was not the right person for Huo Yan.

He is the only child in the Huo family, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Su Qingyu is indeed a lady brought up by Jingyi. Her beautiful dance easily attracts the attention of countless people, making men infatuated and women envious.

Prince Zhennan stole a glance at Princess Jingyi for a long while, coughed a few times, and then Chu Ran moved his eyes away from Su Qingyu.

"Did you do what happened in the side hall?" Prince Zhennan whispered.

Chu Ran remained silent, as if he agreed with his father's words.

Seeing this, the Prince of Zhennan could not help but snort coldly and said softly, "This prince really does not understand why I gave birth to such a stupid thing like you! Listen to me, you are absolutely not allowed to provoke that woman again in the future, and you must not let her or anyone else know that it was us who captured her in the first place!"

Chu Ran nodded quickly and said yes, indicating that he had kept it in mind.

At this time, Prince Zhennan turned his gaze to Su Ruanruan who was standing aside. This was the first time he saw Su Ruanruan in person.

I have to say that the woman in front of me is even more beautiful than the one in the painting, but although she is beautiful, she is just a fool beauty with only beauty on the outside and no substance.

However, Su Ruanruan didn't care how others viewed her, because this was exactly what she hoped to achieve - only by letting more people see her "ignorance" would more and more people bet on her to lose.

And when tonight is over and more people bet on her to lose, she will be able to win a huge fortune!
