Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured on her body. Sui An was shocked and suddenly woke up.
She looked around blankly. For a moment, she was confused.
She stayed in the windy and rainy woodshed for half the night. She caught a fever just before dawn and fainted.
She wanted to wipe the water from her face, but her hands did not twitch. Only then did she realize that she was tied to the cross, and the environment she was in was not the shabby woodshed, but... the dungeon of the Governor's Mansion.
Sui'an struggled hard, "Let me go, what are you going to do?"
The cold and hard whip reached out and lifted her chin.
Sui'an's eyes widened, water dripping from her hair, but her pupils clearly reflected Huo Yan's delicate and handsome face, full of indifference.
Sui An's tip shrank, pain spread from her heart to her whole body, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ruan Sui'an, why did you poison grandpa?"
Sui An suddenly smiled.
She shouldn't have had hope in Huo Chu.
From the moment she was imprisoned in the woodshed, she felt that Huo Chu could restore her innocence, and she recognized his ability.
But what did he give?
Binding, dungeon, splashing with water, and possibly an inhumane interrogation later, this is her husband, the man she loves!
If there was even a shred of trust, he would not treat his wife like a criminal.
Seeing her laughing more and more crazily, even shedding tears, Huo Yan's heart contracted and became stuffy.
"Stop laughing."
Sui'an slowly stopped smiling and said, "Huo Chu, this is the result of your investigation. You are so incompetent."
"Ruan Sui'an" Huo Zhu said with veins popping up on his forehead, "Someone saw you putting the red powder in the paper bag into the decoction. The paper bag was also found at the scene. The doctor has confirmed that it is cinnabar. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. I have wronged you. ?"
Sui Anxin sank straight down. It seemed that someone had carefully planned it.
She did not intend to be mute, "The red powder is safflower, and I made that bowl of medicine for myself, to avoid children."
"Avoiding a child?" His expression changed, and for a moment, he was angry that she dared to use birth control.
but……
"Do you know how to contraceptive? Ruan Sui'an, you begged me every day to have a child, and finally got it. Shouldn't you be taking fertility pills? In order to fulfill the lie about the packet of red powder, did you forget it?"
"Didn't you say you don't want children? I..." The word divorce came to her lips, but she hesitated and did not say it.
The man sneered, "Why don't you say it anymore? Is it impossible to keep things together? Grandpa is so kind to you, but you are so vicious. Tell me, who ordered you?"
As soon as he raised his hand, the whip suddenly whipped out and hit the wooden stake behind Sui An. The wind brought by it cut her cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
"Are you going to tell me?" He took back his whip and stroked it threateningly.
Sui'an calmed down at this time. She looked at him disdainfully, "Huo Zhu, that's all you have. In the Governor's Mansion, you can't even find a poisoned thief. Instead, you let your wife take the blame. You coward."
Just as some water fell into her mouth, she spat in Huo Yan's face.
Huo Zhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it. He became furious in the middle of wiping it.
After all this, she still doesn't beg for mercy, even if she is strong-willed, she still needs time.
Sui'an thought he was going to hit her, so she pretended to be calm and widened her apricot eyes--
The two people were confronting each other when suddenly the adjutant ran in and shouted excitedly: "Young Marshal, the old man is awake."
Sui An was overjoyed that her grandfather was finally out of danger.
Huo Chu threw down his whip and walked outside. He whispered to his adjutant, "Keep an eye on her. No one else but me is allowed to get close to her."
The adjutant hummed, not sure whether this was punishment or protection.
…
In Songhe Garden, the family was surrounding the old man.
Huo Ying talks a lot, "Grandpa, it's a good thing you're okay, otherwise I would have skinned Ruan Sui'an."
The old man frowned, "What does it have to do with her?"
Mrs. Huo said hurriedly: "Old man, you don't know, right? It was Ruan who put cinnabar in your tonic and made you unconscious."
The old man opened his mouth, swallowed what he wanted to say, and raised his hand to call Huo Yan.
Huo Chu walked in quickly, "Grandpa, how are you?"
"Where's Sui'an?"
Huo Yan supported his grandfather who was about to get up, "She... is in the dungeon."
"You locked your own wife in a dungeon?"
Huo Ying interrupted, "She deserves it! Grandpa, you should leave such a vicious woman alone."
The old man didn't even look at her. He just said to Huo Yan with a cold face: "Huo Xingzhou, you can't even manage this three-acre area of the Governor's Mansion. How can I trust you to hand over the Huo family's army to you?"
After hearing the old man's words, Mrs. Huo was unhappy, "Old man, didn't you also praise me for being brave and good at boating?"
"Mother, please stop talking." Huo Yan looked at his grandfather carefully, "You mean...she was wrongly accused."
The old man took out a small box from under the pillow, which contained several small red pills with a strong cinnabar smell.
Several people in front of the bed were stunned, and Huo Ying even screamed, "Is this cinnabar? It belongs to Ruan Sui'an?"
The old man glared at her fiercely, "This is the tranquilizing medicine that the master on the mountain gave me. It contains cinnabar. I couldn't sleep after coming down the mountain, so I took it every day. After taking the medicine today, I forgot about it and took it twice in a row. It led to an overdose. Although things are strange, I don't understand, how can you doubt your wife? Are you worthy of being a husband? "
His torture struck straight into his soul. Huo Zhu was stunned and went straight to the dungeon.
