The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 270 Growing Suspicion
"You are still pregnant with a child. If you really want to drink with me, we can put it in the future. You don't want to drink today."

After an unknown amount of time, Huo Xun finally raised his head, and his eyes were on Xiao Ruan's stomach.

"It turned out that the general still remembered that I was pregnant with our child."

Xiao Ruan pulled the corner of her lips lightly, her tone was still mocking: "In that case, I won't drink this bowl of wine, just sit here and watch you drink it."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruan put down the wine bowl directly, and stared straight at the person opposite with her belly in her arms.

Facing Xiao Ruan's cold eyes, Huo Xun finally let out a long sigh and was defeated: "Ruan'er, it's my fault today, let's go back home."

After saying that, Huo Xun immediately got up and walked to Xiao Ruan, carefully helped her up, and held her hand tightly to go home.

The carriage was parked outside the tavern, Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan were speechless all the way.

However, when he arrived at Hou Mansion, Huo Xun did not return to Hexiang Garden with Xiao Ruan.Instead, he used the excuse of being drunk, fearing that it would affect Xiao Ruan's rest, and insisted on sleeping in the study.

At this time, it was the fifth watch, and it was pitch black under the night, so Xiao Ruan stood in front of the door and looked in the direction of the study in silence.

She and Huo Xun are husband and wife, but Huo Xun, who has never slept in a separate room with her, chose to rest in the study today.

Could it be that he really didn't want to disturb his rest?

"Miss, the night is getting darker and the dew is heavier, so I'd better help you back to your room."

Zhuyun stepped forward cautiously, spoke softly, and immediately put Xiao Ruan's chaotic thoughts back.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ruan stepped into the room, but left Zhu Yun with a deep and cold voice: "Call me Lian Qiao and Li Yun immediately."

Zhuyun got the order, but after a while, Lianqiao was the first to rush over.

"What happened to the prince? You tell me in detail, don't hide anything!"

Xiao Ruan's voice was much more difficult and a bit harsher, Lian Qiao shook her body, immediately lowered her head, and honestly said everything she knew.

"The servant didn't hide the lady intentionally, but because the general didn't let the servant say this..."

Following Lianqiao's narration, the truth about Huo Xun's drinking today gradually surfaced.

It turned out that Huo Xun occasionally heard two dudes who came here to exercise in the barracks today spreading some rumors, and Huo Xun immediately provoked a severe beating when he heard it.

And those two playboys alarmed the prince because they were related to the prince by marriage.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan felt relieved.

He thought that Huo Xun's subordinates were not serious, and beat those two people to death, that's why the prince appeared, and it turned out to be the reason.

Thinking of another possibility, Xiao Ruan straightened his back suddenly: "What rumors are they spreading?"

"This... seems to mean that the general is the queen's son and intends to rebel or something."

Lian Qiao frowned and thought for a long time before she suddenly remembered it, and as her voice fell, Xiao Ruan's face suddenly turned pale.

"I see!"

"Miss, what's wrong with you..."

Lianqiao didn't know what exactly Xiao Ruan thought of?But seeing her suddenly sway, she was startled, hurriedly supported her, and helped her to the bed with a worried face.

"I'm fine, just let Li Yunsu come to see me."

Barely suppressing her beating heart, Xiao Ruan leaned against the quilt and closed her eyes, her face was extremely pale.

Seeing this, Li Yun didn't dare to delay, and immediately called Li Yun in.

"How about what I asked you to do?"

Xiao Ruan closed her eyes, and heard a series of slight footsteps coming from far to near, as if she already knew who the person was, she still closed her eyes.

"Ma'am, this servant has already asked my brother in private according to your instructions, but he didn't tell me too much..."

"Then what did he say?"

Before Li Yun could finish speaking, Xiao Ruan immediately interrupted her and asked the main point directly, but Li Yun felt nervous for no reason.

"Brother said it's not my job, don't let me interfere."

Li Yun's voice fell, and the room fell into a long silence, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ruan slowly opened her eyes, her dark face hidden in the shadows, with an indescribably strange feeling.

In fact, she just asked Li Yun to ask Li Yan who Huo Xun had been in contact with recently, but she didn't expect Li Yan to ask Li Yun like this.

In this way, she became more and more certain about the guess in her heart...

In the study room, Huo Xun sat leaning on the grand teacher's chair, staring at a void for a long time without moving.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, making people feel extremely depressed for no reason.

"who!"

Suddenly hearing a strange noise from outside, Huo Xun suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately saw Xiao Ruan holding his stomach.

"Ruan'er... why are you here? It's almost dawn, why don't you rest for a while?"

Huo Xun looked at Xiao Ruan who was slowly walking towards him at the door, and seemed to be stunned.It took a long time before I stood up from the seat, but I just watched without any movement.

In the silence, Xiao Ruan slowly walked towards Huo Xun with a slight cold hum.

"Since I'm here, doesn't Mr. Xiang feel that he should say something to me?"

The tip of the nose can still smell the smell of alcohol from Huo Xun, Xiao Ruan looked at Huo Xun face to face, and there was still a light of expectation in his eyes.

"Ruan'er, it's getting late, we..."

As soon as Huo Xun opened his mouth, he noticed that the light in the woman's eyes dimmed instantly, and an indescribable guilt and distress suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Msister, Ruan'er doesn't realize it's late at all. It's not bright yet. I can wait for you to finish talking with me before going back to rest."

Xiao Ruan interrupted Huo Xun's voice, the end of the sound was slightly raised, there was some kind of sarcasm in the voice, and he took a few steps closer to Huo Xun's direction as he spoke.

"I, I know what you want me to tell you... Ruan'er, I drank too much and my head feels a little uncomfortable. If we have something to say, we can talk about it another day, okay?"

Huo Xun raised his hand and pressed his forehead, his voice was instantly drunk, as if his eyes were blurred, he shook his head unconsciously.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan suddenly burst into anger, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Huo Xun, do you think I can't know your usual drinking capacity? Even if you drink all the ten jars of wine later, you won't be confused. Why do you have to lie to me like this?"

Xiao Ruan in front of him was completely angry, Huo Xun was taken aback, and had no choice but to take his hand from his forehead.

But for some reason, because of Xiao Ruan's questioning, his brain really hurt.

"What do you want me to say? Things in the military are messed up enough, are you here to trouble me?"

Never expecting that Huo Xun would talk to him like this, Xiao Ruan froze in place for an instant, only the voice of this person remained in his ears.

"Ruan'er, can you stop doubting me so neurotically every day. I know what I'm doing, and I don't want you to look at me with strange eyes all day, so I want to come to the study to rest!"

"I taught those dudes a lesson just because they spread false rumors everywhere in the barracks and didn't want you to worry about me, so I don't want anyone to tell you!"

The man on the opposite side opened and closed his mouth, his voice seemed to be aggrieved, but Xiao Ruan no longer had the desire to listen.

She looked at the man in front of her expressionlessly, as if she could hear the sound of something collapsing in a corner of her heart.

Huo Xun knew exactly what she was looking for him for, but he insisted on pretending to be confused. How could he make her believe his words...

Xiao Ruan didn't know how she walked out of Huo Qun's study, the only thing she remembered clearly was when she left, Huo Xun didn't chase after her.

The winter night is long, and when it is clear that the sky is bright, it is still too dark to see.

Xiao Ruan listened to the cock crowing outside from time to time, and slowly closed her eyes, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

"I don't believe it! Brother Xun must be here, you let me in! I want to see Brother Xun!"

When Xiao Ruan woke up, it was already high in the sun. After washing, she was sitting in front of the mirror and Zhuyun was helping her to tie her hair. Suddenly, she heard a very familiar female voice from the yard, and she unconsciously showed doubts.

But after a while, the door curtain swayed, and a little maid hurried in.

"Ma'am, there is a woman outside who claims that she is the general's cousin and must come to see the general. The slave has already said that the general is not at the house, but she insists on breaking in."

The little maid was full of grievances, Xiao Ruan didn't speak, and walked out of the room with Zhu Yun and Li Yun.

"Brother Xun must be here, you let him out quickly, I have something important to see him."

When Xiao Ruan stepped out of the room, she saw Su Qingqing who was blocked by the guards.

Su Qingqing was wearing a peach pink pleated ruyi moon dress embroidered with large begonias today. She also wore golden hairpins of begonia flowers in her hair, and a string of hollowed-out suet white jade was tied around her waist. She was dignified and beautiful.

It's a pity that she just put her hands on her hips, like a peasant woman quarreling in the field, which is really funny.

Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed, and she whispered something to Zhu Yun who was beside her, and Zhu Yun immediately walked towards Su Qingqing who had an aggrieved face.

"Who are you to come here to act wildly in front of our general's wife? There are at least a hundred women who come to look for the general every day. The general clearly stated that he will not meet any woman, so naturally he will not see you."

"What do you mean! How can those vulgar fans compare with this lady? I am brother Xun's fiancée, and I will marry brother Huo in the future. Why doesn't he want to see me!"

Su Qingqing spoke as a fiancée, and saw Xiao Ruan standing silently on one side, and suddenly raised her chin: "I said you looked so familiar, so it was you that I saw at the gate of the mansion that day!"

As if recognizing Xiao Ruan suddenly, Su Qingqing gave Xiao Ruan a disdainful look, her expression becoming more and more complacent.
