Chapter 462: Who Wants to Plot Against Her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei laughed and said, “He’s helped my family several times, including saving my younger sister’s life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hero saves the lady, and in return, the lady rewards him with her love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei is clearly setting the stage for Bai Ruozhu to remarry in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie nodded, “This gentleman may be secretive about his identity, but he certainly has a good heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I believe he will be stepping into the limelight quite soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interest twinkled in Bai Zepei’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s great news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was extremely curious about the man behind the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged glances, breaking into radiant smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu, seated in the carriage, caught a glimpse of Ruozhu’s side profile, her smile as beautiful as blooming flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, she asked, “Who is this person that has Ruozhu smiling so brightly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu instinctively touched her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she been that transparent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hastily lowered the blinds of the carriage, sat back down, and replied solemnly, “What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery outside is just lovely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi was already cracking up, saying: “I saw it all from the gap in the blinds, Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t deny it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s face grew hot, she glared at Fang Guizhi and whispered, “Stop talking nonsense, or I’ll teach you a lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu understood who it was and burst out laughing, “Are you trying to deny it by killing the witnesses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any sensible person can see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, a gentleman’s ideal match is a gentle and graceful lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Caiyue was also suppressing a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she knew who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her quiet demeanor, she was quite perceptive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A gentle and graceful lady, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m already a mother, and in a few years, I will be an old woman.” Bai Ruozhu said self-deprecatingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Guizhi reached over to pinch Bai Ruozhu’s face, saying, “Nonsense, your skin is so tender and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re the last person who’d become an old woman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage was filled with the cackling laughter of the women, with the sound spilling out into the open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated on his horse, Jiang Yichun’s smile turned into a wry one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they think he couldn’t hear them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, thinking of Bai Ruozhu’s shy demeanor in the carriage, his heart unexplainably fluttered with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they passed by the inn where Bai Ruozhu and the others had previously stayed, the caravan stopped for a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing his patrons, the innkeeper enthusiastically greeted them, asking, “You brought two more people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has the young master recuperated from his illness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s all better now.” Bai Zepei replied politely, although he didn’t want to continue the discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The innkeeper, tactful as he was, quickly changed the subject and prepared food for the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women settled at one table, and the men at another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun watched from the shadows, wishing he could sit next to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there were still limitations to his yearning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his restraint, he stole glances at Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated amid the group of women, her clothing and hair accessories were plain, yet he found her to be the liveliest amongst them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her laughter was contagious and her jokes elicited giggles from the women at her table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her creamy white skin made her stand out even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Little Dengdeng in her arms, her face radiated a maternal glow unique to her, rendering anyone incapable of looking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, too, would occasionally sneak glances at Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, fearful of ribbing from Yu Hongxiu and the others, she was subtle in her glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her discretion, their eyes often met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both couldn’t help but smile, their faces reflecting the taste of happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they had to resume their journey, no one drank wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a lively yet efficient meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After it was over, Jiang Yichun rushed to settle the bill which left Bai Ruozhu somewhat unsure of what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie who found it even more embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed to Jiang Yichun, saying, “I hope you would allow me to return the favor by treating you to a meal in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like I’m the one who’s benefited.” Jiang Yichun joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was implying that dining here was cheap, whereas Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie’s offer was likely to be an expensive meal at a restaurant in Beiyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, this gentleman was always taciturn and reserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was in exceptionally high spirits today, cracking jokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, sure.” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie fired back, politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group climbed back onto the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruolan clung tightly to Bai Ruozhu’s sleeve, refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes had the same pitiful look of a lost child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Xiaosi was also looking at Bai Ruozhu’s carriage longingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, like Bai Ruolan, also wanted to ride in the same carriage as Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, Bai Ruozhu had to persuade the two of them to separate, it had taken quite a bit of her energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu still hadn’t entirely recovered, it was safer for Bai Ruozhu to stay with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be good if Bai Ruolan’s possible outbursts startled Yu Hongxiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiaosi, despite being small, he was a boy and it was only appropriate for him to ride with Bai Yihong and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Bai Ruolan and Xiaosi’s expressions of distress, Yu Hongxiu felt quite embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she climbed into the carriage, she grumbled, “Everyone’s treating Ruozhu like she’s some hot cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My spending time with her makes me feel like I’m committing a crime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu found it amusing yet lamentable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it wrong for her to be liked by others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caravan continued towards Beiyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling sleepy after lunch, the chattering women quieted down and began to doze off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dengdeng in Bai Ruozhu’s arms had fallen into a deep sleep, even drooling a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the sound of a rushing arrow echoed through the air; a sound perceivable only by trained martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated on his horse, Jiang Yichun narrowed his eyes and swiftly dismounted, catching the incoming arrow with precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of rushing arrows had pulled Bai Ruozhu out of her daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was immediately alert, hastily pulling back the window blinds to see Jiang Yichun sprinting alongside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and caught another arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Danger, get back to safety!” Jiang Yichun called out while simultaneously launching the arrow back in its direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow he threw soared far into the distance, finally disappearing in a nearby forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly pulling her head back, the scene from outside imprinted on Bai Ruozhu’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s impressive move left her in a daze, so much so, that she momentarily forgot her fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” Wan Caiyue instantly asked as she noticed the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, someone tried to attack us secretly, but we are safe with Yichun here.” Bai Ruozhu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women in the carriage woke up, claiming they were not nervous, but their faces told a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun was neither unprepared nor overwhelmed, but he regretted not bringing a couple of his subordinates along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could have easily chased the attacker who was hiding in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, due to a shortage of manpower in the anti-bandit mission, he had designated all his men to patrol around Xuantian Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he wanted to personally accompany Bai Ruozhu, it was inappropriate to bring subordinates along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, fate had other plans, and they ran into a covert assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the attacker’s movements ceased after Jiang Yichun flung back the arrow, the secret attacker decided not to continue the assault and cautiously slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the carriage, Bai Ruozhu frowned deeply, wondering who was trying to assassinate her?\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec8d6288cde72ba71611f88ad4594096996a734223178d15b5a430bebc2051f3","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-461","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-459",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
