After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

However, she can use an abacus, but she really can't embroider.

"Well, I have only played with abacus since I was a child, and I have never held an embroidery needle."

"Master, why do you ask this..."

Su Ruanruan forced a smile and took out the purse from her arms.

"I want to embroider a purse for Mu Bai, but I don't know how to do it!"

Seeing her like this, Zi Wu couldn't help but smile twice.

"I don't know how to do it, but we have many girls here who can do it. I will go find a girl who is good at it."

While Ziwu was out, Su Runrun took a quick look at the account book, and put the silver and money on the table into the space, leaving only seven taels of silver.

She took out a package from the cabinet and put all the silver that Mu Bai gave her in it.

He then put the seven taels of silver he had just left into the old purse.

She would not touch the silver that Mu Bai gave her.

After a while, Ziwu led a little girl in, holding a small basket with needles, thread and cloth in it.

The little girl is fair and clean, but her eyes are timid.

Su Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh. Is she that scary?

"My boss."

Ziwu is used to calling her master, while others call her boss.

The little girl entered the room and respectfully called out, "Master."

"Master, Xiu'er is the best embroidery girl among the girls. Can you let her teach you?"

Su Ruanruan set her eyes on the embroidered pieces in the small basket.

I reached out and picked it up, turning it over and over again. The flowers looked lifelike, and the mandarin ducks playing in the water were even more vivid.

But it is too difficult for beginners.

"The embroidery is really beautiful. My hands are clumsy, so I'd like to trouble Xiu'er to teach me more."

Su Runrun's eyes were smiling, and Xiu'er's cheeks turned red when she teased her like this.

Although the hostess is not very good-looking, she speaks very gently.

It was not until dark that Su Ruanruan came out of the tofu shop.

There was a tingling pain in my fingertips. Embroidery was too difficult.

Su Ruanruan walked on the road, and lanterns were already lit on the streets on both sides.

Su Ruanruan looked up at the shops around her. These days, she had been thinking about buying a shop.

But she still owed Huo Yan a large sum of money.

She didn't want to owe anyone anything at all, so she should pay him back first.

But she didn't have that much money at all, and she couldn't pay it all off in one go.

Three thousand taels of silver, what does that mean?

You have to know that in this remote and poor area, the storefronts in the county town are only worth a few hundred taels.

But she was just a small worker who could only earn a few copper coins every day.

She had to pay it back. If she paid too much, he would definitely suspect where she got the money from.

She didn't want him to know her cards.

Perhaps she was too absorbed in her thoughts and didn't notice that Huo Yan had spotted her on the street.

Just as he passed her, Huo Yan pulled her back.

When Su Ruanruan regained consciousness, she was also startled when she saw the person in front of her.

Thinking of what he did to her in the alley today, her face suddenly turned cold.

He ran as fast as he could, as if there was a monster chasing him.

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and watched her run away coldly.

But his eyes fell on a fallen purse not far away.

Just then a drunk man staggered over with a wine jug in his hand.

His blurry eyes became more clear when he saw the purse.

He was about to reach out to pick up the purse when he noticed a pair of black boots in his sight.

He paused and straightened his bent body.

When he saw the man's appearance clearly, he was mostly sober.

There was a scar running through his face, and his eyes were even colder than they were at night.

He was clearly just looking at him with a half-smile, but it made him feel a chill down his spine.

"Official...Official!"

But the purse seemed to be quite heavy and he really couldn't give it up.

Under the scorching gaze, he quickly bent down and picked up the purse.

"Sir, you are still on duty so late. You must be working hard. This little money is like a treat for you to drink and warm yourself up."

After saying this, he was about to open his purse to take out the silver inside.

But the next moment, she was stopped by the man in front of her.

"Is this purse yours?"

The man froze for a moment, then nodded hastily, "It's mine. I almost lost it when I was drunk, but luckily I found it back."

The fierce look in Huo Yan's eyes became even more intense, but before he could speak.

The owner of the purse has been found.

Su Ruanruan was seen running towards this side at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, her eyes fixed on the purse in the drunk's hand.

There was a complicated look in his eyes.

Only Su Ruanruan knew how panicked she felt when she discovered her purse was missing.

Although the purse was old, the embroidery was fine. Mu Bai was reluctant to replace it because it was a memory left by his deceased mother.

If I let this concern fall into her hands, I really won't be able to explain it to him.

God knows how it feels to see the wallet you covet so much fall into the hands of a drunkard.

It was as if the purest love that belonged to him had been tainted by someone.

"Give it back to me!" Su Ruanruan reached out to grab it, but the drunk man held on even tighter.

After a struggle, Su Ruanruan finally let go, for she was afraid that the old purse would be torn.

"This is what I dropped, give it back to me!" Su Ruanruan stretched out her hand.

The drunk man narrowed his eyes, and when he saw that the other person was a little girl wearing coarse clothes, contempt appeared in his eyes.

He just weighed it and found that there are at least eight taels of silver here.

How could a poor girl like her have so much money?

The drunk's cheeks were a little red from the wind. He said angrily, "You little girl, you want to cheat at such a young age. This is the purse I dropped, but you want to take it for yourself. It's really morally corrupt. The world... is going downhill..."

Su Ruanruan felt uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and quickly covered her nose and took two steps back.

Huo Yan stood aside with his arms folded, looking indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Su Ruanruan pinched her eyebrows, she was really annoyed.

Every time I meet him, nothing good happens. If I hadn't been avoiding him, I wouldn't have lost my wallet.

She had never thought that Huo Yan would help her, and it was good enough that he didn't try to harm her.

I was just thinking about how to get my wallet back quickly.

Huo Yan, who had always been invisible, reached out his hand to the drunkard.

The implication couldn't be clearer.

The drunk man had a thin layer of sweat on his back. He was really afraid of the tall, strong and sturdy captain in front of him.

But there are eight taels of silver in this purse.

Eight taels is quite a lot.

"Ok?"

Huo Yan's expression became even more sinister, and there was even a hint of displeasure between his brows.

Even Su Ruanruan felt that the air pressure around her seemed to have dropped a little.

The drunk man swallowed his saliva and reluctantly handed the purse to Huo Yan.

He lowered his head and said, "Sir, this purse is really mine. If you don't believe me, open it and take a look. There is still eight taels of silver in it."

Without even raising his head, Huo Yan opened his purse and fiddled with it with his fingers.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, "Eight taels? Do you think I don't know how to count?"

"roll!"
