Achun’s tongue was as sharp as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian, not daring to offend him, could only proceed stiffly, “Officer Jiang jests; it is my negligence in hospitality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing Jiang Yichun might corner He Lian too harshly, Bai Ruozhu interjected, “We are under Imperial Decree, and we must make haste to report back to Capital City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, no need for that send-off, Officer He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question is, should we leave Muyu with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyu, who was behind them, nearly burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leave him behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he supposed to become a live-in son-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way he wanted to marry that kind of woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lian’s face turned ashen, and he managed to squeeze out a slight smile before saying, “Madam Jiang jokes; there is no such thing, no such thing at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he looked down on Muyu, afraid it would be a losing deal, and Muyu, being spurned by others, was still completely unaware and even excitedly laughed, relieved that he would not have to marry that shameless He Lianlian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll be on our way, Officer He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Till we meet again!” Bai Ruozhu sat astride her horse looking dashing as she cupped one fist in the other hand as a salute to He Lian, then led the team away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group quickly left Jinshui City, and by noon they had just reached the next town, where Bai Ruozhu called Muyu over and quietly gave her a couple of instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyu looked at her with a face full of astonishment and said, “Madam, please don’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then return to Jinshui City and be a live-in son-in-law; I’ll secure the match for you,” Bai Ruozhu said with an icy expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyu’s face fell instantly, “Will it be alright if I do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, it’s all because of my sharp tongue, I shouldn’t have crossed Madam, I truly deserve it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found a restaurant for lunch, and Bai Ruozhu noticed it was quite crowded, the corners of her mouth subtly lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the meal, Muyu suddenly asked for wine, and Jiang Yichun was about to stop her, to which Bai Ruozhu said, “Let her drink, she’s not feeling comfortable inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Muyu began to drink sullenly, one cup after another, quickly drawing the attention of the other patrons and indeed the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Muyu began to utter “drunken words”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with us guards?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should our status be considered lower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer He’s daughter, He Lianlian, got into trouble and it fell on me to carry her home, yet I haven’t complained that it sullied my reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That He Lian claimed his daughter’s chastity was of utmost importance and put the responsibility on me; I wasn’t willing, nor am I the kind to shirk my duty, but they looked down on me as soon as they heard I was a guard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they really think I wanted to marry their daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dare not bring such an ill-behaved woman home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was quite drunk, her speech getting slurred but her voice was loud, everyone nearby heard everything clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although somewhat incoherent, most could guess what she was talking about; they just didn’t know how Officer He’s daughter had caused trouble or why the guard ended up carrying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu cast a stern look over, “Enough, for Miss He’s reputation, let no one mention this matter again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those listening in secretly nodded, thinking how kind-hearted the lady was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only they knew that this scene was directed by Bai Ruozhu, they would be spitting blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, not to speak out of turn, but what reputation does she have to speak of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinging to our master and throwing herself into his arms; but who is our master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can just anybody get close to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mere flick of qi, her clothes didn’t even touch him as he sent her flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That woman fainted, and I just took her home, yet I was the one disparaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t swallow this insult,” Muyu remarked, quite good at her role in the play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Feng couldn’t help but laugh, “Could it be that Miss He despised you, upsetting you, and you wanted to claim the beauty for yourself after all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah!” Muyu spat to the side like a drunk, “I just feel disrespected being looked down upon; rather than marrying her, I’d rather shave my head and become a monk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Muyu, shut up, never speak of this again or you need not follow us anymore,” Bai Ruozhu said, feigning a stern face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muyu knew it was enough and deflated to the side of the table, quietly drowning her sorrows in wine, her reputation as Muyu, alas, waning away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun frowned slightly; he sensed this act was orchestrated by Bai Ruozhu, though he didn’t understand why she would command Muyu to raise the issue of He Lianlian throwing herself at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt uncomfortable thinking Bai Ruozhu was trying to associate other women with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Bai Ruozhu was taking precautions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even instructed Muyu to mention that “he sent her flying without a touch to her clothes,” all to avert future trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if He Lian shamelessly reached an extreme, fabricating rumors that Jiang Yichun had some amorous interaction with He Lianlian when passing by, then sending the girl to the Capital?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What then?\u003C\u002Fp>",1421,"2026-05-30T14:09:37.212Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","724b5dcae9e209737ed9e29a24efdc449f695b06bb8261da3ea11cfef6ac2f96","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-1428","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-1426",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
