Exactly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Lin family left, Bai Ruozhu also put Little Dengdeng to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extinguished the candle, her heart starting to worry again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what was up with Jiang Yichun, whether he’d found the medicinal materials and if he was still in Anyuan town?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he come by in the night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she hoping for him to come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Ruozhu realized this, her face flushed crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She touched her burning face, criticizing herself for being so desperate for company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was her dignity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she began to worry about the leader of the assassins she saw during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was already suspicious of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the assassins discover Jiang Yichun if he came looking for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long period of turmoil, her eyeslid shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stuffed some clothes into her blanket and slipped quietly into her space with Dengdeng to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she kept the ‘big screen’ open using her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone came into her room, she would wake up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the night passed without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Jiang Yichun nor the assassins came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu washed her face with water from the pond, significantly clearing her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then awkwardly crawled out of her space with Dengdeng in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the daylight, nothing seemed unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She utilized the time when there were fewer customers to ask the blacksmith to create a hook needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She showed the blacksmith the hook needle and explained how to improve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the item wasn’t very complex, and the blacksmith was skilled, so he said it would be ready by the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Ruozhu left, someone went inside to check the item she requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn’t openly inspect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made small talk with the blacksmith and glanced at the hook needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu hadn’t asked the blacksmith for secrecy, hence he showed it to the person without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground money house, the leader of the assassins was standing with his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, it seems the lady has asked the blacksmith to make a secret weapon.” The man who spoke took out a hook needle, saying, “I snatched one to show you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please have a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” The leader of the assassins took over the needle and examined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he threw it at the wall like a hidden weapon, and it plunged into the wall immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a formidable weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hooks on top could cause bleeding with a stronger killing power than steel needles,” one of the subordinates noted, looking at the half-buried needle in the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the assassins squinted his eyes, saying, “Keep an eye on Bai Ruozhu to see if these hidden weapons are meant for Jiang Yichun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, sir.” His subordinate accepted the command and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the assassins started pacing around the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had no martial arts training, so these weapons were definitely not for her, meaning they had to be meant for Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to get involved himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his subordinates would be no match for Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the loss of his six men on the mountain, the leader of the assassins clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took Little Dengdeng home for a nap in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, there was an extra person in the room when they entered, startling her into a gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi, who was in the yard, heard her and quickly asked, “Ruozhu, what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng just startled me,” Bai Ruozhu gave a smile towards her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good boy, Dengdeng, you’ll have to take the blame for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at you, so jumpy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want me to come and help?” Guizhi laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, no need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to have a rest, you should take a break too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t tire yourself out,” Bai Ruozhu hurriedly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll go back to the room to rest after cleaning up the vegetables.” Fang Guizhi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu heaved a big sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she turned back around, she saw Jiang Yichun casually sitting there with a teasing glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Bai Ruozhu glared at him, angry enough to chastise him for his deliberate scare but the pressing situation led her to think better of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The assassins are watching me now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you still here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t let them catch you!” Bai Ruozhu lowered her voice, urgency clearly radiating in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s face remained unbowed when he heard her, only the glint of amusement in his eyes and the curve of his lips revealing his mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an instant, Bai Ruozhu felt a flash of light in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be better if this man stopped smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile was so radiant that it sparkled in her eyes and mesmerized her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you worried about me?” Jiang Yichun asked smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was completely unperturbed and even had the time to tease her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just don’t want you to get me into trouble,” Bai Ruozhu huffed, turning her head away, refusing to look at him, and stubbornly stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun chuckled softly, “You don’t mean that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was really anxious, but yet he appeared so calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at him once more, stomped her foot, and stated, “Can’t you be more serious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the leader of the assassins has appeared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Jiang Yichun’s face showed some seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, “You recognized him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu put Dengdeng back to sleep and got a brush and paper from the desk, beginning to sketch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He visited my stall yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve begun to suspect me, just that they’re not ready to act recklessly yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw his movements that day while hiding, so I’m sure it’s him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, I wanted to draw his portrait for you earlier, but I was afraid they were spying on me and might try to silence me if they saw the portrait,” Bai Ruozhu explained while sketching, her anxiety resulting in quicker speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun walked over to look at Bai Ruozhu’s sketch, his expression turning grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has a hole in his left ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyesight is excellent, and I saw it clearly when his face was covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should arrest him as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Catch a bandit by catching the ringleader’; as long as the leader is missing, the others won’t be able to raise any more problems,” Bai Ruozhu added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s eyes lit up, “You know about ‘catching a bandit by catching the ringleader’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you read about military tactics?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wanted to casually say that she had, who in the modern world didn’t know about the military tactics of Sun Tzu and the Thirty-Six Stratagems?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her eyelids twitched, remembering that military books at this time were incredibly precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the royal family, only highborn families had access to them, her answer would lead to suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, there are no books on military tactics in my older brother’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once, I heard the storyteller speak about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve always been quite curious about military tactics,” Bai Ruozhu shook her head, putting on a look of longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Jiang Yichun had just asked aimlessly and didn’t suspect her of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her reply, he grinned, “I’ll bring a copy for you to read someday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was Bai Ruozhu’s turn to be stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t books on military tactics supposed to be extremely precious in this era?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could people just casually let others read them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why did he have a book on military tactics?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant his identity was very special, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she frequently saw him around Anyuan town, she had guessed he was no ordinary man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to their frequent encounters, she felt his identity couldn’t be too distinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealthy young masters from highborn families wouldn’t willingly come to a place like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she felt she was just deceiving herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The discrepancy between their statuses was too vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She inhaled deeply and looked up at him, asking, “Who are you, really?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1368,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","8642f5634423d706c5e418986253635799fac549998d08dc11b404d2e3d29bc3","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-262","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-260",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
