Whispered Sweet Nothings in the Ear Meanwhile, Bai Ruozhu had prepared the antidote and sent it to the County Government Office, handing it directly to Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t go to the Li family’s house directly, let alone want to meet Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she helped Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li hide the truth, she figured Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li probably didn’t want to see her anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take this ointment in four doses by swallowing it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, follow this prescription to prepare the medicine—boil three bowls of water down to one bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drinking it continuously for half a month should do the trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best to see me in Beiyu City when the time comes.” Bai Ruozhu spoke as she shook her head slightly, “The poison Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li encountered later was easy to cure, but the slow-acting poison she was subjected to earlier is difficult to resolve, as it has even caused some damage to her body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After only two days, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li had visibly lost a lot of weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident must have been a hard blow to him, and he probably felt a great deal of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was the slow-acting poison administered at once?” He accepted the box of ointment and couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded, “I’m not sure how many times it was given, but it certainly could not have been done all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the person behind your cousin is no ordinary character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suggest that you avoid any further entanglements with her in order to avoid being implicated unnecessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li bowed to Bai Ruozhu, “Thank you for your reminder, Miss Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also…” He faltered and his face paled further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu knew what he wanted to ask, so she said directly: “I didn’t lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li never came into contact with the poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it seems that she knew about this whole situation all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was beguiled by Liu Xianxian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t put your mind at ease, perhaps it would be best to have a sincere conversation with her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li was relieved, but he still looked distressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thought that anyone who discovered their biological mother had conspired against their wife would be upset, wouldn’t they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Ruozhu went to say goodbye, Li Shunsheng finally collected himself, quickly offering twenty taels of silver and said, “This is for the medicinal fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please accept it, Miss Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu didn’t stand on ceremony and directly accepted the silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost of preparing the medicine was indeed not small, and she was not so saintly as to offer free medical treatments and medications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li, please clean up your house thoroughly as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything that was hidden by Liu Xianxian could be harmful to your wife, or even possibly to your children.” Bai Ruozhu suddenly stopped and turned back to say this after a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shunsheng was taken aback and asked, “What kind of things might there be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just speculating, but I vaguely feel that Liu Xianxian is very ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolate anything suspicious and have someone bring it to me for inspection,” Bai Ruozhu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shunsheng thanked Bai Ruozhu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Bai Ruozhu out, he hurried back to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Bai Ruozhu returned home, she found several carriages parked at the entrance of the West Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She promptly sped up her stride, knowing that those carriages were most likely arranged by Jiang Yichun, who had indeed promised her so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the moment she entered the yard, Guizhi was waiting, grinning broadly, clearly anticipating some amusing events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thus suspected that Jiang Yichun must be inside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glowered at Guizhi and quickly walked into the Main Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she suspected, Jiang Yichun was in the room, and her father was with him, looking very nervous, for baby Little Dengdeng was in Jiang Yichun’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dengdeng liked being held upright now, so it was easy for him to reach for Jiang Yichun’s mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun dodged the baby’s little hands while simultaneously teasing him, causing Little Dengdeng to chirp and squawk in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong was extremely nervous on the side, fearing that Dengdeng, being too naughty, would actually remove Jiang Yichun’s mask, angering their distinguished guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was also a little hopeful, wanting to see what the face behind the mask looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange thought even crossed his mind: he wanted to see if the face behind the mask was as handsome as Chang Sheng’s and if it was a match for his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu stepped forward and picked up Dengdeng, smiling as she said, “Thank you for arranging the carriages, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, no problem.” Jiang Yichun answered cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lit up when Bai Ruozhu appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dengdeng was unhappy, wriggling in her arms and stretching his hands towards Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that he preferred Jiang Yichun to his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gave a vexed grin, spanked him softly on his little bottom, and softly chided, “You naughty boy, you have no conscience, rejecting your own mother like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his mother’s hand coming down, Little Dengdeng pouted and seemed about to wail loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun quickly took Little Dengdeng back into his arms and couldn’t help saying, “What are you hitting the child for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just happily playing with me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re too fierce for a mother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dengdeng immediately stopped crying and his downcast little face brightened up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also somewhat annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun was actually chiding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he really need to spoil Dengdeng that much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Bai Yihong was left flabbergasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was slow to react, he could see how fond Jiang Yichun was of Little Dengdeng, and furthermore, his tone with his daughter was exceptionally intimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt awkward and out of place, just like the “third wheel” his daughter had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment and said, “Ruozhu, why don’t you pour the gentleman some tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will go see if your mother needs help packing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Bai Ruozhu’s reply, he hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu stared in disbelief at her father’s “hasty retreat.” She wanted to ask her father, “Aren’t you worried about your daughter being bullied?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t you being too carefree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun chuckled quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, his future father-in-law was quite interesting—a very good man indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deflecting Little Dengdeng’s flailing arms, he walked up to Bai Ruozhu and whispered, “Niu Cuicui is safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.” Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaosi’s mother was a pitiable woman, and she wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s eyes twinkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t convey the situation of Niu Cuicui’s husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the damage had been done and was irreversible, he was afraid that telling her would agitate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re going to leave tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will you be staying in Anyuan Town on a regular basis?” Bai Ruozhu thought for a while before asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared in Jiang Yichun’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowering his voice, he said, “Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you afraid you won’t get to see me regularly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot a quick glance outside, fearing that the family might hear him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely not,” she retorted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that she was saying one thing but feeling another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been busy dealing with bandit issues recently and will mostly be staying around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few days, I’ll be able to go to Beiyu City,” he said, with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment and lowering his voice even more, he said, “Don’t worry, I will find the time to visit you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was so soft it felt like sweet nothings whispered by a lover into Bai Ruozhu’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blushed profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time they had dared to speak so openly in the daytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sweating in nervousness, worrying about how to explain it if anyone in the family heard them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her cheek flush with embarrassment, Jiang Yichun found it even more amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Little Dengdeng with one hand, he suddenly raised the other hand to gently stroke her blushing cheek…\u003C\u002Fp>",1386,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","25d186ce53b257267bc587cf5557d55834efa6714f1f23cb62694d5714f3c415","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-457","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-455",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
