She gently stroked her belly, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Fu Hengfeng was taken aback. Was she pregnant with Huo Yan's child?
Su Ruanruan continued, "Even if he's an illegitimate son, he's still Huo Yan's first child."
"Although I don't know who you are in the capital, even if Huo Yan saves her, with you involved, I'm afraid your sister will also have a hard time being the legal wife!"
"At most, she would be a concubine, and she's the sister of a criminal, yet she's still a bit more noble than me."
Su Ruanruan's eyes flashed coldly. "So what if he goes to find your sister? I don't believe he would abandon his own bloodline. I'm young and beautiful, and I have plenty of ways to seduce people. This is something your sister, a young lady raised in seclusion, can't compare to."
Su Ruanruan's eyes flashed with madness as she sneered, "As long as I live, this immense wealth will be mine! As long as I live, I will never let your sister have an easy time. Her remaining life will be spent atoning for your sins. I will make her wish she were dead. Hahahaha..."
The corridor echoed with Su Ruanruan's silvery laughter and Fu Hengfeng's furious, teeth-gritting curses: "Su Ruanruan, if you lay a finger on my sister, I'll haunt you even in death."

Su Ruanruan didn't want to bring up this topic; she was more interested in whether Huo Yan had really returned to the capital.
"Did Huo Yan return to the capital to find Fu... Xinrou?"
"How do you know about her? Did Fu Hengfeng tell you?"
"Yes, he said that Huo Yan is deeply devoted to his sister and will surely be able to persuade His Majesty to spare his life."
Niu Mang exclaimed, "He really said that? What a despicable man!"
Niu Mang scratched his head. "Sigh, I thought she was the one who betrayed me first, but it turns out she was forced into marriage by her father, who even risked his life for her. That's why she said those resolute words and severed ties with my elder brother."
"Unexpectedly, on her wedding day, she used this as a way to express her determination, and fell into a coma after hitting her head against a pillar."
Niu Mang sighed again and pointed in the direction of the prison cell, "Miss Xinrou always thought her brother was studying abroad, but she never expected that he had been staying in the mine all along!"
Niu Mang muttered to himself, "My elder brother is determined to marry Miss Xinrou, but now the lives of the Fu family are in danger. Even if he protects her, I'm afraid he can't make her his principal wife..."
