The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 264 Nightmares
In the endless darkness, Xiao Ruan ran around like a headless chicken, a heart in his chest was beating wildly, but the footsteps of the people chasing after him became more and more clear.

"Catch her quickly, don't let her escape!"

The chasing sound behind her was as clear as in her ears. Xiao Ruan hadn't felt this kind of fear for a long time, but when she heard the sound getting closer, her heart was filled with horror.

At this moment, something tripped her feet, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Before she could get up, those who had been chasing after him rudely pulled her up from the ground.

"This stinky woman who doesn't know what to do, I caught you today, take her away!"

With an explosion sound coming from his ear, Xiao Ruan found himself in a room when the picture in front of him changed.

Xiao Ruan was tied tightly like a zongzi. She tried many times, but found that she couldn't break free, so she gave up struggling and looked at the furnishings in the room.

The furnishings in this room are quite simple and nothing special, but Xiao Ruan always feels quite familiar, as if he has seen it from there.

While meditating, Xiao Ruan suddenly smelled a pungent smell, and when she looked up, she suddenly found that the candlestick that was originally placed on the table had fallen to the ground at some point, burning a corner of the table.

Xiao Ruan was surprised, and suddenly saw the tongue of fire curling up, and hit her directly.

"Huo Xun, save me!"

Xiao Ruan subconsciously yelled Huo Xun's name, but everything was useless, not only Huo Xun didn't come to help him, but also the fire in the room was getting bigger and bigger, instantly surrounding her.

The fire was so intense that Xiao Ruan couldn't move a bit, and he was trapped in a room with no exit, engulfed by the fire.

"Xiao Ruan, this is what will happen if you refuse to promise me."

At this moment, Xiao Ruan heard an extremely familiar voice, and immediately saw Zhao Yan not far away, looking at her expressionlessly as she was burned to death.

Xiao Ruan was angry in her heart, and suddenly felt that the person standing beside the other party was extremely familiar, and that person seemed to notice her gaze, and slowly raised his head.

"Master!"

Xiao Ruan never thought that the person was Huo Xun, and he cried out, but the other party turned a deaf ear, his face was indifferent, as if he didn't know him.

Xiao Ruan was shocked, screamed again, stepped on the ground, and opened his eyes to find himself lying on the bed, there was no fire at all.

"Miss, you finally woke up. Just now you had a nightmare and yelled the general's name."

Hearing Zhuyun's rejoicing voice, Xiao Ruan raised his head slowly, and looked at her face for a long time before he believed that he really had a nightmare just now.

Trying to shake Huo Xun's indifferent face away in the dream, Xiao Ruan looked at the burning candles on the table with a pale face, and then couldn't help but ask: "What time is it now?"

Zhuyun brought a cup of warm tea, seeing her gulp and gulp down the tea in one gulp, then softly replied: "Miss, it's just past time, you should sleep a little longer."

Just passed away.

Xiao Ruan glanced at the empty bed beside her, and suddenly realized that Huo Xun hadn't come back.

The hand holding the tea bowl tightened suddenly, Xiao Ruan hurriedly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Zhu Yun: "Where did the general go?"

"General, the general is still in the study..."

Zhuyun looked confused, the general stayed up late in the study on weekdays, and the young lady was not so worried, what happened in a few days, could it be that she was frightened by the nightmare just now?
Zhuyun was giving some comfort to Xiao Ruan, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, it was Huo Xun who came back from the study.

"Ruan'er, what happened, why haven't you fallen asleep at this time?"

It seemed that he didn't expect that Xiao Ruan was still awake, so Huo Xun hurriedly came to the bed to inquire. When Zhu Yun said that Xiao Ruan had a nightmare, he was taken aback for a moment. "What nightmare did you have, how could you be so scared?"

Zhuyun left the room, Huo Xun immediately embraced Xiao Ruan in his arms, his face was full of concern.

Xiao Ruan stared at Huo Xun's face for a long time, and finally confirmed that this face was different from the indifferent face in the dream, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He took out a letter from beside the bed, Xiao Ruan handed it to Huo Xun, and said with an unclear expression: "This is at the banquet tonight, Master Lin asked someone to pass it to me secretly, I haven't shown it to you, no If you take a look too."

Surprise flashed across Huo Xun's face, he took the letter, read the contents inside, saw Xiao Ruan staring at him intently, paused before speaking.

"What Brother Lin told you in the letter, I already knew about it a long time ago."

Not surprised, Huo Xun's voice was quite calm: "Xiao Ying gave birth to a stillborn baby, and he pushed everything on Brother Lin. Fortunately, on the day Xiao Ying was about to give birth, Brother Lin specially brought other imperial physicians from the imperial hospital with him. To Xiao Ying Ying's symptoms when she was about to give birth were all carefully documented, otherwise Xiao Ruan might have framed her."

"Brother Lin also said that Xiao Ying has fallen out of favor with Duke Huai, right?"

Otherwise, why would Huo Xun ask such a question, but he still nodded.

In this letter, Lin Tianqi detailed how Xiao Ying slandered him after giving birth to a stillborn baby, and also mentioned that Xiao Ying had completely fallen out of favor in front of the Queen and King Huai because of this incident.But he was worried that the other party would do something to Xiao Ruan, so he wrote a letter to remind him.

"From my husband's point of view, what is the relationship between Brother Lin and us?"

"Brother Lin and we are of one mind, and we are people we can trust."

Hearing this, the corner of Xiao Ruan's mouth suddenly showed a hint of self-mockery: "In the opinion of my husband, is Ruan'er someone you can trust?"

It wasn't until this moment that Huo Xun realized that something was wrong with Xiao Ruan tonight, he let go of Xiao Ruan, looked into her eyes for a long time, and then said in bewilderment: "Ruan'er, what exactly are you going to say to me? "

"Oh! It's not I who want to say something to you, but you. Don't you think you should explain something to me?"

Xiao Ruan raised his eyes suddenly as he spoke: "Brother Lin regards us as trustworthy people, and told us everything about Xiao Ying in detail. My husband and I should be the closest people, but we have something to hide from me. We The level of trust between them is not as good as Big Brother Ruolin?"

"Ruan'er, what exactly do you want to say? How can we compare our relationship with Brother Lin..."

Huo Xun seemed to be getting more and more confused because of Xiao Ruan's words, his eyes were full of confusion.

"Yes, we really can't compare Brother Lin, but don't you think that since we are husband and wife, we shouldn't deliberately hide something from each other?"

In the dim light, Xiao Ruan's face was hidden in the shadow brought by Huo Xun, and the look of disappointment inside was obvious: "Master, what happened between you and Zhao Yan, don't you want to tell me? He has mastered it. What is your handle??"

When Zhao Yan was mentioned, Huo Xun's body froze immediately, but he quickly recovered: "There is really nothing between me and Zhao Yan, don't listen to his nonsense."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed across Xiao Ruan's face.

This is not the first time she asked Huo Xun about Zhao Yan, but same as last time, Huo Xun still chose to conceal it.

"Xiao Ruan, this is what will happen if you refuse to promise me."

Inexplicably, the scene in the dream appeared in front of her eyes again. Zhao Yan's mocking voice and Huo Xun's indifferent eyes appeared alternately in Xiao Ruan's mind. out of breath.

"Ruan'er, you must be thinking wildly because you had a nightmare just now. There is really nothing between me and Zhao Yan. It's getting late, let's rest."

The man beside him blew out the wax and got on the bed, hugged Xiao Ruan tightly in his arms, and soon breathed evenly.But in the darkness, Xiao Ruan opened his eyes and looked at the face of the man who was close at hand.

Xianggong, why don't you want to tell me the truth?

This night, Xiao Ruan was drowsy until it was almost dawn, and finally fell asleep. When she woke up, Huo Xun was no longer around her.

"Ma'am, Lord Hou said that you had a nightmare last night. This is the calming porridge he specially told the kitchen to cook for you. You should drink it while it's hot."

Xiao Ruan had just washed up when a little maid walked in with a food box.

"Master Hou also said that Madam has nightmares at night, and I'm afraid the internal fire is too hot, so you have a kitchen that prepares lighter meals for you. Do you think today's dishes suit your appetite?"

As the little maid said, she placed the contents of the food box on the table one by one.

Xiao Ruan looked at the meals on the table, and found that the dishes on the plate were all her favorite vegetarian dishes. A little warmth welled up in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Go get ready, I'm going to visit Taifu Lu's residence today."

"Miss, the weather is gloomy today, why don't we..."

Hearing Zhuyun's voice, Xiao Ruan took a look outside the door, only to realize that it was past Chen's hour, and the sun had not yet come out. It seemed that it was going to rain in such a gloomy weather.

"No, just go today."

The weather was considered beautiful, Xiao Ruan's carriage arrived at Taifu Lu's house all the way, not only did it not rain, even the sun peeked out from inside.

"Miss Biao is here! Go and inform the old lady!"

As soon as the servant at the porter saw Xiao Ruan's carriage stop, he immediately shouted joyfully, and quickly ordered someone to spread the news of Xiao Ruan's arrival to the mansion.

Xiao Ruan hadn't come to the mansion for a while, and now seeing that the Lu manor still welcomed her so warmly, the depression in her heart gradually dissipated a lot.

"Ruan Ruan, I have waited for you here! Follow me into the mansion quickly!"

But at this moment, a woman as cheerful as a butterfly rushed over from a distance, and when she saw Xiao Ruan's hand, she hurriedly pulled her in.

After arriving at the main hall where the old lady lived, Xiao Ruan was once again greatly welcomed by the crowd, and the old lady Lu even pulled her to her side, reluctant to let go.

"In the past, sister Heng said that the old lady was biased, but the granddaughter-in-law still didn't believe it. When I saw Ruan'er enter the mansion today, I realized that I really wronged sister Heng. Look at it, everyone, now that Ruan'er came, my baby bump is not my grandmother's." My heart is full."
