she was not only the eldest legitimate daughter of Meng Liangshen but also fortunately inherited the best traits from both her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mere age of fourteen, she had already grown into a beautiful girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Bai Ruozhu learnt all this from Nanny Lu’s chit-chats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any maid arranged by Madame Meng for herself, she preferred taking care of her own child and herself instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having someone else bustling around her would just make her uncomfortable, besides, it was improbable that she’d ask a maid about such matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Second Miss Meng Jinxia by her side, Madame Meng was also quite fond of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the young age of thirteen, she was gentle, earnestly listened when someone conversed with her, and always wore a soft smile on her face, but she was not born of the first wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Granny, what were you all talking about so early in the morning?” Meng Jinse walked to Madame Meng, grabbed her arm and coquettishly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of her displeasures in mind, Madame Meng belonged to the Meng Family, and she didn’t want to blame the children as their behaviour was perhaps directed by the adults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Bai was instructing me about how to stay healthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m old now, not physically well.” Madame Meng sighed as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Jinse glanced at Bai Ruozhu who instantly bowed to show respect to her and second Miss, saying, “I’m honoured to meet you, Elder and Younger Miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, so you must be the female doctor.” Meng Jinse happily said, but a flash of surprise quickly slipped away from her eyes, however, she was quick to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Miss being shy gave a nod and shyly smiled towards Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the situation, Bai Ruozhu stood up and told Madame Meng, “Madame, I should take my leave now.” Completing her sentence, she then turned to the two girls and said, “Elder and Younger Misses, I should go now to tend to my child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words ‘tend to my child’, Meng Jinse exposed an evident look of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she felt Bai Ruozu was humiliating herself talking about her motherhood or bringing down her own value by bringing up her maternal responsibilities, nobody knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon after, Meng Jinse spread a smile across her face, saying, “Miss Bai, don’t rush, I’ve had some acne recently, can you take a look for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu having no other choice agreed to diagnose her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found out that Jense had a minor level of Qi deficiency with no apparent signs of acne; still, she patiently instructed her about matters she should be careful about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, sister Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help my younger sister, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She complained of chest pain a few days back.” Meng Jinse again requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu lowered her eyes; the older Miss was intentionally delaying her, it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.” She replied, checking the pulse of the younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn’t punctually show up for her lesson, the one who should be anxious would be Meng Liangshen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should take note of how the ladies of his family were causing a delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examining Meng Jinxia’s pulse, Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Meng, despite not being engaged in affairs, was a sharp woman and instantly noticed Bai Ruozhu’s change of expression, asking anxiously, “What is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu glanced at the second Miss, the young girl appearing very calm, only a bare hint of worry hiding in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she was naturally not cheerful she might feel upset if Bai Ruoshu directly told her about her health condition, which would worsen her situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, nothing really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just need to have a good rest and not to worry too much.” Bai Ruozhu gently smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Meng glanced at her, and although she found it strange, she asked no further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The child must be hungry by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should rush.” Knowing Bai Ruozhu had work to do, Madame Meng directly intervened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Meng Jinse held Bai Ruozhu’s back, saying to Madame Meng with a smile, “Granny, shouldn’t Miss Bai be allowed to nurse her child in our ear room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she finishes, we can all have breakfast together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, we hit it off from the moment we met, she can keep me company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was wondering the motive behind the older Miss holding her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably her mother-in-law, Madame Meng, disliked her and the older Miss wanted to humiliate her given the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something stirred in Madame Meng’s face, thinking of saying something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a maid announced the second master, his wife and their son, and third daughter had come to greet Madame Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the word ‘second’ multiple times made Bai Ruozhu secretly mock them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was everyone from this room a fool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking again, even in her family, she had to accept her parents were the second master and his wife and her second brother was the second son; at least, she was not the second daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of other members, it was not appropriate for Bai Ruozhu to leave suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they all greeted Madame Meng, she introduced Bai Ruozhu to the second room’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Dengdeng, she courteously greeted everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Meng JInse initiated a conversation with her even insisting she join them for breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had already eaten, but given Meng Jinse’s cordiality, she couldn’t turn down the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Madame Meng of the house, Wang Miaoshuang arrived, maintaining her usual stern expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a room full of people, she said, “Seems like I am late today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Meng laughed lightly, replying, “You’re not late, your daughters arrived exceptionally early to show their respects today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Meng Jinse didn’t react, Meng Jinxia blushed faintly, lowering her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, you may leave if you have work to do.” Madame Meng, observing the time, discreetly signalled Nanny Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affairs of the Imperial Court weren’t to be taken lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Miaoshuang’s face twitched, and she suggested, “Since Madame Meng likes Miss Bai, why don’t we have a meal together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouldn’t feel awkward here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretly, Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips, thinking, “Why didn’t you feel awkward when you scolded me the day before yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guessing Wang Miaoshuang’s intention, Madame Meng’s face turned sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, she didn’t burst out in anger but after thinking for a moment, she said, “Ruozhu has to prepare my medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to chat with her, you could do so later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not delay her service for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that being said, nobody could insist Bai Ruozhu stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Madame Meng’s medical treatment was a top priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second Madame’s eyes flickered, and chuckling, she said, “Of course, Madame Meng’s medicine is more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr Bai, we are indebted to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu respectfully bid farewell to everyone, carrying a clueless Dengdeng out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out her handkerchief, she wiped his drool, grumbling, “Naughty boy, not trying to sneak a peek at their breakfast, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, you can’t eat, you’ll feel more uncomfortable if you see it, won’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanny Lu, standing beside them, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Stop teasing him; he is teething, that’s why he’s drooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Master Meng was the same during his childhood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Bai Ruozhu was a doctor, this was her first time being a mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Nanny Lu’s reminiscence that she recalled, yes, it was indeed teething time for Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>",1357,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","08f31c11f591c6b715df41fd809cb3a9e6cd8a0cdeb80e6304631957e69d3069","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-474","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-472",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
