Secret Beauty of Second Brother Bai Ruozhu jumped back as if she had been scalded by boiling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Jiang Yichun in horror and said, “Are you crazy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun laughed so hard that his eyes squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he found it extremely amusing to tease Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu ground her teeth furiously, while Little Dengdeng in Jiang Yichun’s arms laughed and clapped his little hands in excitement, hollering with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Bai Ruozhu felt bullied by the duo; she stomped in anger and walked toward the door, shouting, “Father, mother, your benefactor is leaving, aren’t you going to see him off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun paused, then laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young lady indeed had a way to handle him— he had no choice but to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er and Bai Yihong, hearing the commotion, stepped out from the side room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu glared triumphantly at Jiang Yichun—who dared to touch and scare her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he think she was easy to bully?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun had no words, he placed Little Dengdeng back into Bai Ruozhu’s arms and whispered, “Chubby boy, I’ll play with you next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he bowed to Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er, turned around, and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left, Bai Ruozhu felt the questioning gaze of her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly said, “I’m going to clean my room—I haven’t cleaned it yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after she and Dengdeng returned to the room, Bai Zepei and others brought back the books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were leaving the next day, Bai Zepei ordered the horse carriage into the yard and didn’t even need to unload the books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he returned to the room and loaded more books onto the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While placing the last stack of books neatly, he stepped on the edge of his robe when getting off the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stumbled onto a stack of books, causing a few of them to fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu knew her second brother loved books dearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed over to help him pick up the books and her attention was attracted by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a poetry collection, nothing extraordinary, but what really attracted Bai Ruozhu’s attention were the delicate, small characters on the book pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were definitely written by a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a graceful handwriting couldn’t possibly come from her second brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu immediately excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her second brother had a poetry collection with a woman’s handwriting in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something scandalous must be involved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She excitedly jumped over, grabbed the book, and began flipping through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inspired by chance, I enjoy wine under the chrysanthemums, free and content, indeed a delight in life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s handwriting was extremely delicate, yet the tone had some masculine vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu could imagine what kind of woman she must have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she was as petite and lovely as Yu Hongxiu, spoke softly, but had a strong and carefree side to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That must have been what attracted her second brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why else would he keep a poetry collection with her handwriting and take it with him to Beiyu City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved the poetry collection with pride towards her second brother, saying, “Second brother, I’ve figured it all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be honest, who is this lady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you two said your goodbyes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished, her eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be a young lady from Beiyu City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You often went out alone during your days in Beiyu City—you were meeting your lover, weren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei looked at her baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting off the carriage and seeing the book in her hand clearly, he said with a mix of laughter and tears, “What are you talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t you see that the handwriting is quite old?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, Bai Ruozhu hadn’t noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, the book was indeed yellowed—it was rather old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she have misunderstood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The lover you mentioned was our great-grandmother—this was her favorite poetry collection back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So we kept it as a memento,” Bai Zepei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are we not discussing David Rowley==because we’re not.Bai Ruozhu couldn’t stop a spasm in the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her second brother’s demeanor, it seemed he was not lying, she’d hoped to mock some romantic escapade of his, but ended up making a fool of herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her in a daze, Bai Zepei suddenly flicked her forehead, saying, “What are you thinking about all day long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you found this book, you must have been destined to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep it, but don’t lose our great-grandmother’s beloved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu held the book in one hand and rubbed her aching forehead with the other, regretting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a great shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so focused on the thought of a scandal that she didn’t look closely and ended up being ridiculed by her second brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She huffed angrily, took the poetry collection, and returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Bai Ruozhu tidied up, stepped out from her room, called her mother, and elder brother, and brought Bai Ruolan outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only looking after Bai Ruolan temporarily and since they were about to leave, it was time to take Bai Ruolan to her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go with you.” Bai Zepei looked at the dumbfounded Bai Ruolan, his eyes flashed a hint of sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need, second brother, you better pack up your stuff—no one has more stuff than you,” said Bai Ruozhu, breaking the somewhat solemn atmosphere with her joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, you guys go early and return early,” Bai Zepei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu led Bai Ruolan outside and whispered to her, “Ruolan, would you like to go to your mother’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll have someone with you and to take care of you from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one will dare to bully you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Ruolan tightly grabbed Bai Ruozhu’s sleeve and shook her head like a petulant child, signaling she didn’t want to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip on Bai Ruozhu’s sleeve tightened—the joints on her hand were all white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er sighed faintly after watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really pitiful to see them like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao also helplessly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Bai Ruolan wasn’t very close to them before, seeing a healthy person turn into this was absolutely lamentable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu also thought—if Bai Ruolan hadn’t tried to hang herself that day, or if she was rescued a bit sooner, would she still be who she was today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she thought of the indecent relationship between Third Brother and Zhou Shi, she felt that Bai Ruolan wouldn’t be able to make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them soon arrived at the Wang Family’s front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao knocked on the door, and Zhao E, Wang Xiujun’s wife, promptly answered the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao E was startled to see Bai Ruozhu and the others and her eyes reddened especially when she saw the idiotic Bai Ruolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “Aunt Bai, you’re here, please come in and sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two families used to be at each other’s throats, but since Zhao E was now so courteous, Bai Ruozhu and her group felt a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since they were here for Bai Ruolan’s matter, they had planned to be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they entered the yard, Bai Ruozhu noticed that the Wang Family’s yard was a bit messy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a pile of clothes in the wooden tub that no one had washed, and there were spots of blood on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the color, the blood was not old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, she looked at Zhao E; the bloodstains were definitely not from a period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao E sighed, “The day before yesterday, my father-in-law and my husband were both beaten with boards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mother-in-law is also sick due to anger, so I’m the only one handling everything in the house—I’m really overwhelmed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What bad things have you guys done again?” Lin Ping’er blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she said it, she felt she was too direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who could blame her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wang Family was always causing trouble, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","3c807002787088b4de4194e3b168d9737fc25e90a2dd54c30d592c92743c8711","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-458","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-456",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
