Su Ruanruan threw her head back and laughed, her laughter filled with endless sorrow and despair. Her gaze slowly swept over the three people in front of her—Princess Jingyi, Su Qingyu, and Su Ruowu—and she gritted her teeth, saying, "One of you doesn't want me, one wants to harm me, and one wants to kill me!"
At this moment, Su Ruowu's fingers trembled slightly. He didn't want to either, but when he arrived, he witnessed Su Ruanruan kicking Su Qingyu to the ground.
From childhood, his mother always told him to take good care of his younger sister and never let anyone bully her.
Upon witnessing the scene before him, an unnamed rage surged within him, blinding him. His only thought was to teach Su Ruanruan a lesson.
However, he forgot that Su Ruanruan was also his nominal sister!
However, this woman was far too vicious, insidious, and ruthless to dare to bully and abuse Qingyu so brazenly.
When Su Zhen and Su Tinghan received the news and rushed over, Su Ruanruan was already holding Bai Ruan in her arms.
She glared angrily at the Su family members who had gathered at the door, and roared hoarsely, "Get out of here! I never want to see you again!"
Su Ruanruan then turned back to the flower hall to treat Bai Ruan's wound. The injury was on her thigh, but fortunately, it was not life-threatening.
She carefully and slowly pulled the dagger out of her leg, but when her gaze fell upon Bai Ruan's round eyes, which were filled with tears and an innocent expression, she felt extremely sad.
The feeling was as if a million ants were gnawing at her soul, causing her unbearable pain.
It was like an endless tide surging into my heart, bringing endless sorrow and bitterness.
It's more like being suppressed by an invisible force, unable to break free, filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
After finally treating Bai Ruan's wounds, Su Ruanruan was exhausted. The aphrodisiac fragrance that had been suppressed in her body began to stir again, showing signs of rekindling.
She slowly removed her elaborate and gorgeous jeweled headdress, gently took off her exquisite and gorgeous dress, and then tiptoed into the warm and pleasant hot spring pool.
Sitting in the center of the pool, Su Ruanruan took out a thin silver needle from her bosom and gently pinched it. Then, without hesitation, she pierced the tip of the needle into her fingertip, watching the bright red blood seep from the wound, dripping into the water and turning into beautiful little red flowers.
However, the bloodletting therapy no longer seemed as effective as before. She frowned and let out a soft sigh of unbearable discomfort. The heat within her body grew increasingly unbearable, as if it were burning her up completely.
She closed her eyes tightly, struggling to stay conscious with sheer willpower. But just then, she heard a series of hurried footsteps.
Su Ruanruan suddenly opened her eyes, and met Zi Wu's worried gaze.
"Master, are you alright?"
Su Ruanruan touched her slightly flushed cheeks. "Why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"
Zi Wu hurriedly handed over the letter she was clutching in her hand. "Master, our people have replied."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruanruan hurriedly reached for a white handkerchief to wipe her hands, then quickly tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter. However, when she saw the contents of the letter, her lips trembled involuntarily.
"How could this be..." she murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief and grief.
Seeing this, Zi Wu moved closer as well. After reading the contents of the letter, she was also filled with grief and comforted him, "Master, the deceased is gone, please accept my condolences..."
Su Ruanruan leaned weakly against the edge of the pool, slowly closed her eyes, and tears slid down her cheeks.
Ever since she was granted the title of county princess, she has been drawing a portrait of Gu Ji and hiring a group of people to search for his whereabouts. Back then, Uncle Gu Yong was kidnapped, while Gu Ji escaped without a trace and his fate was unknown.
Now, we finally have news of his whereabouts, but it turns out he is no longer alive.
It turns out that Gu Ji had already succumbed to his injuries while she was still imprisoned by Xiao Yu.
The person who saved him was none other than Li Dashan, who had just returned from the escort agency. (This person appeared in Chapter 15.)
He was overjoyed and prepared to return to the village with the money he had painstakingly saved to propose marriage to the Su family. On the way, he unexpectedly encountered a comatose Gu Ji.
Unfortunately, even after taking the medicine, Gu Ji showed no improvement, and the medicine proved ineffective. Left with no other option, Zhang Dashan buried him himself and continued his journey home.
When he returned to Qingshan County, he learned everything about Su Ruanruan and that she had been kidnapped. He went back to the village to find Uncle Gu Yong, only to be told that Uncle Gu Yong had been missing for many days.
He searched for Su Ruanruan for more than ten days, but news came from the capital that Su Ruanruan had been found and even made a county princess.
Knowing that he was not worthy of Su Ruanruan with his current status, he silently gave up the idea of finding her and returned to his job as a bodyguard.
Days passed by like this, until someone came to the escort agency with a portrait, asking if they had seen Gu Ji in the portrait...
