Teaches a Lesson Bai Ruozhu could feel that Lady Meng didn’t like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a faint impression from their first meeting, but at that time she just thought it was because the city’s mistress had a too serious personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now it appeared she genuinely didn’t like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Meng’s face seemed more impassive and longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even showed a look of disdain when she saw the old lady and the others eating fried chicken with their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu nervously put down her chicken, quickly wiped her hands with a cloth, stood up, and paid respect to the Lady, “Greetings, Madam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, she gave Bai Ruozhu a look, indicating for her to quickly pay her respects as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to hold Dengdeng, stand up, and bow, saying, “Greetings to the Madam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady ignored her eldest daughter-in-law, continuing to enjoy her chicken wing with great pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, are your teeth okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought you couldn’t eat hard food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if your toothache flares up again?” Lady Meng, Wang Miaoshuang, asked with a cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Lady Meng seemed unhappy as well, replied with an unpleasant tone, “The doctor is right here, what am I afraid of?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wang Miaoshuang became even more displeased, glaring at Bai Ruozhu, “Miss Bai should be clear about her status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you treated the old lady’s illness, you still can’t behave recklessly in the Meng Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What chaos are these?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How will it affect the old lady’s health?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good, they’re starting to nitpick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Bai Ruozhu, a commoner, say anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head modestly, “Madam’s reprimand is valid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, it was me who asked her to prepare this food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a little fun thing from ordinary folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like we eat it everyday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover it’s just us family here, what’s all this about propriety?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miaoshuang, you’re too serious,” The old lady said discontentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang didn’t expect the old lady to embarrass her in front of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath to calm herself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, can we talk nicely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your daughter-in-law is also concerned about your health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, spare me, just don’t infuriate me to death,” the old lady said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu and Yu Hongxiu exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had it tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could escape, that would have been the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want to get involved in the mother-daughter-in-law disputes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lady Meng, Wang Miaoshuang, finished lecturing them at length before she finally left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after her departure, they didn’t know what to do with the remaining chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she had gone, the old lady’s smile returned, she waved at them, “Come over, sit down, and let’s keep eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignore her, that’s just how she is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu and Yu Hongxiu didn’t dare to speak, they just came back to their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady smiled at Dengdeng in Bai Ruozhu’s arms, “This little guy is brave, wasn’t scared off by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My second son, that baby, is always scared to tears by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s so annoying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng seemed to know that he was being praised, smiling at the old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His little hand reached out towards the fried chicken, showing he wanted to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little fellow, you can’t eat this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait until you grow a little older, your mother will make you many delicious things,” the old lady said with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a small chicken leg and wagged it in front of Dengdeng before she put it in her own mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu twitched at the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does the old lady have to be so willful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too much for a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady took a bite and became displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “It’s all her fault, my chicken has gone cold, it doesn’t taste good anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She shouldn’t have eaten so much of these things either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make it for the old lady again in a few days.” Bai Ruozhu hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worried that the old lady would ask her to cook again which the Lady might hear about and put her in a bad spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the old lady didn’t insist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked her servants to remove the chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, I’ve arranged your room for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go and see if there is anything you’re not accustomed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you need anything, feel free to tell Nanny Lu,” the old lady said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu modestly said, “I’m only staying for a few days, I don’t wish to bother the old lady and Nanny Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I called you here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I treat you poorly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up and check it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will have lunch together later,” the old lady said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu stood up smiling, “I’ll go too, to see if the old lady plays favorites.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the two followed Nanny Lu to the guest room that had been arranged for Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu saw that the room was four times bigger than the one she had in the Back Mountain Village, furnished with everything you could think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a baby crib beside her bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, a screen embroidered by Su Xiu was placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The multi-tiered shelf displayed various porcelain items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall setup was very elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, I wanted to arrange a vase of flowers for you, but the old lady was afraid the child might have a pollen allergy, so she didn’t,” Nanny Lu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu bowed to Nanny Lu, “The old lady and Nanny have thought of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is very nice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Lu laughed and exchanged a few words with her, then excused herself, leaving Bai Ruozhu and Yu Hongxiu alone in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu put Dengdeng in the crib and massaged her own arm, murmuring to herself, “This smelly little fellow has gotten heavier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu walked over and rested on her arm, “Don’t take the earlier event to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the old lady said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s always been too serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been scolded by her in public before too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly made a hushing gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She listened carefully to make sure there was no one around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice even more, “I’ll lower my voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lady Meng, the Duchess who was conferred by the former Emperor, the old lady has to give her some face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she can behave so haughtily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, daughters-in-law wouldn’t dare give orders in the old lady’s yard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of how the old lady was irritated earlier, Bai Ruozhu felt a bit sorry for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, a daughter-in-law’s status shouldn’t be too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, when her son Dengdeng marries, she’d have to be careful not to marry a princess or a duchess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately, the old lady has a good temper and doesn’t care about power struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise…” Yu Hongxiu paused and didn’t continue talking about the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted a little bit more, during which Bai Ruozhu learned that Lady Meng, Wang Miaoshuang, was a Duchess because her father was a prominent Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, daughters weren’t entitled to the duchess title, but Wang Miaoshuang broke the convention because she was favored by the dowager empress before she got married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thought to herself, could it be that she gained the dowager empress’ favor because she was so serious and proper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem likely, so Lady Meng must not be as simple as she appears on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","861d400a7f1628f253397f1d7aeb708ceae1039e3742370c7603b2cc08b585b9","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-469","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-467",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
