favor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Is this the rhythm of fighting for favor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time dinner was ready, Fang Guizhi quickly said to Lin Ping, “I’m going to wake up Ruozhu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead, let her continue to rest after she’s eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must be exhausted from the shock today.” Lin Ping said with a worried expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi had already dashed off to Bai Ruozhu’s room and gently shook her awake, “Ruozhu, it’s time to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s dense eyelashes fluttered, like two black butterflies fanning their wings, which made Fang Guizhi stop and stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never noticed before how Ruozhu was becoming more and more beautiful, her skin even smoother, and her hair lush and black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aura had also changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when she slept with her eyes closed, she seemed quietly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that’s why the two men outside were in such a rush to see her, Fang Guizhi thought, chuckling to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you laughing at me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I drool in my sleep?” Bai Ruozhu opened her drowsy eyes and asked as she looked at Fang Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi must have been hallucinating earlier, otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought that Ruozhu was so refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at her now, what a mess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up and get up, I’ll help you comb your hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are visitors here to see you.” Fang Guizhi said as she searched for a comb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who came?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it just Brother Minglu?” Bai Ruozhu was a bit reluctant as she slowly got out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed warmer under the covers as the weather had turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi fetched a jacket for her to put on and grinned, “There’s another important person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu instinctively straightened up and turned to look at Fang Guizhi, “The one with the mask?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi stifled her laughter and nodded, “Why don’t you find out for yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gave her a side-eye, “So you’re putting on a show for me now, alright then, I won’t ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will find out when I leave the room anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further ado, she started getting dressed, moving noticeably faster than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi helped her tidy her disheveled hair, twisting it elegantly into a bun and inserting the hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your hairpin is really beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did you buy it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t remember you mentioning it.” Fang Guizhi said enviously, admiring the hairpin on Bai Ruozhu’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s face flushed slightly, she quickly turned to Guizhi and said, “I bought it before my brother’s wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like it, I’ll buy one for you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi heard this and quickly replied, “No need, I was just asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t waste your money on this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That should shut Guizhi up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was ready, she picked up Dengdeng and left the room with Guizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dengdeng, who had cried himself to fatigue, was still asleep, his tiny face streaked with tear tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they stepped into the main hall, all eyes were on Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s heart tightened and he blurted out, “Are you alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he speak up first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was somewhat annoyed by his impetuousness, but when she met his concerned gaze, she couldn’t bring herself to be upset with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all stared blankly at Jiang Yichun, then at Bai Ruozhu, unsure of what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Minglu, on the other hand, looked crestfallen once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn’t catch me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when I realized I couldn’t escape, I tripped him and ended up injuring my own leg,” Bai Ruozhu said with a self-deprecating smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess I’m all bark and no bite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Minglu quickly intervened, “How can you say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re braver than most women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had you not tripped him, I might not have been able to save you in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Minglu covertly glanced at Jiang Yichun, thinking to himself that he must seize every opportunity for Ruozhu, he would not back down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had noticed the tension between the two men and stole a glance at her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the bewilderment on their faces and Guizhi giving her a knowing wink, she couldn’t help but feel anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did she wind up in this situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had known, she would have gritted her teeth and pretended not to be injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you applied medicine to your leg?” Jiang Yichun’s voice was icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it sounded emotionless, everyone detected his concern for Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their several interactions, they could tell that Jiang Yichun was not the type to go out of his way to show concern for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly glanced at him, signaling him not to make it so obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was she going to explain this to her family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve applied the medicine already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have some excellent wound ointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should heal quickly,” Bai Ruozhu quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.” Jiang Yichun glanced at her and Guizhi, then said, “Why are you still standing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you intend to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, ‘Would I be standing here like a fool if it weren’t for you constantly questioning me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi helped Bai Ruozhu to her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lin Ping snap back to reality, taking Dengdeng from Bai Ruozhu and holding him in her arms, saying sympathetically, “You and the child must have been terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man deserves to be fried in a wok!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wasn’t inclined to meet her parents’ gaze at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a vague response and quickly took her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start eating then, Sir and Brother Minglu, please make yourselves at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I apologize if our simple meals don’t live up to your expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just let us know if there’s anything that doesn’t suit your tastes.” Bai Yihong said, chuckling awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have found the situation embarrassing too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wished she could bury her head in the food and ignore everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the table, Bai Zehao kicked Wan Minglu and gave him a meaningful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minglu looked confused, unsure of what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, Bai Zehao decided to make his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Uncle, could you help Ruozhu get some of that pork trotter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s her favorite, and it’s closer to you.” Bai Zehao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minglu finally understood what his brother-in-law meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly shot Bai Zehao a grateful look and was about to get the pork trotters for Bai Ruozhu, but a pair of chopsticks had already reached the plate, swiftly picking up a juicy piece that was cooked till soft and placed it in Bai Ruozhu’s bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you like pork trotters.” Jiang Yichun said indifferently, but there was a trace of laughter in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sitting next to Wan Minglu, wasn’t he close to the plate too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he figured out from this interaction who Bai Ruozhu’s older brother was helping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced back at Bai Zehao and asked, “Brother Zehao, would you like a piece too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao shivered instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes were clearly laughing, and his tone was much more pleasant than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he felt as if he had been swept over by a blast of cold wind and been hit by a surge of frosty chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he inadvertently offend this important person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu glared at Jiang Yichun and snapped, “My older brother doesn’t like pork trotters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought – are you trying to pick on my older brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you know how fiercely protective I am when it comes to my family?\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.305Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","35045889563f61f05c9033c56f1ef0b4f2b3a8395e876c44c0e736e04fad978c","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-379","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-377",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
