Fox?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Fuling sneered unpleasantly, feeling that Auntie Du didn’t like her and was deliberately defending Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out for the drawing by Bai Ruozhu, saying, “Let me see what this trickster is up to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Du, however, hid the drawing and shot her a warning look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mess around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you damage or lose it, you can kiss your tooth goodbye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family was upset when they learned that the Meng Residence was trying to mediate by having Bai Ruozhu reattach Du Fuling’s tooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew how arrogant Du Fuling was and how rude she had been to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, “It’s fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even made the tools for me, which saves me the trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I can earn a consultation fee and give face to the Meng Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing their initial indignation upon reconsideration, the family was only left worried, especially Lin Ping’er, who said, “I should accompany you when you reattach the tooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s normal for you to need assistance, so as to prevent Du Fuling from causing trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nearly burst into laughter, “Mother, there are so many people in Meng Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you really need to argue with them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er lowered her head, her expression uneasy, and after a long silence said, “While I was shopping yesterday, I heard about what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s been cleared up, you should have told us about it, instead of suffering alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes reddened as she spoke, and she dabbed at the corner of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt a bitter sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So her mother had heard about it yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That explained why she looked off when Bai Ruozhu left with Meng Qiu earlier that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During her time at the Meng Residence, her mother must’ve been anxious, afraid that she would face more grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu took her mother’s hand and said, “Mother, it was all just a misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s fine now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er sniffled and complained, “I know you didn’t want us to worry, but by saying nothing at all, you left me to my own fears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wealthy families are always difficult to deal with, so it’s best to limit our contact with them in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you forgotten how kind Madam Meng was to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even personally attended our shop’s opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I truly avoid contact with them?” Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her second brother became an officer in the future, these kinds of encounters were inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, we certainly can’t avoid Madam Meng, but do stay away from Madam Du.” Lin Ping’er pondered before saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded quickly, “Yes, mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll only meet directly with Madam Meng, avoiding any contact with Madam Du.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er sighed in relief and her mood improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next evening, Zhang Liliang and Bai Zehao arrived home with two carts full of goods, worn out from the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family got busy again, with the men unloading the carts and the women boiling hot water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After such a long journey, everyone deserved a relaxing bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, in Bai Zehao’s room, he was entrancingly kissing Wan Caiyue’s cheeks, whispering, “My wife, you’ve become even more beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were all I thought about during my journey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Caiyue’s face flushed like a ripe apple as she looked at Bai Zehao and said, “You should let Ruozhu give you a facial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your skin has become coarse from all that wind and sun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We men don’t mind things like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you think I’ve become manlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Caiyue couldn’t help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zehao blew out the candle and moved in closer…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no conversation throughout the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Bai Ruozhu started to prepare fresh noodle soup with Zhang Liliang and her elder brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being meticulous people, they worked slowly but made no mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By noon, they had prepared all the noodle soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu called Wa San to help load the carts with the jars of noodle soup and then headed to Yingkelai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never expected that once she mentioned her name, the shopkeeper would directly lead her to the backyard, where she encountered Shen Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Bai, we meet again,” Shen Lu greeted with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu politely responded, “I didn’t expect to find you in Beiyu City, Shen Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you planning to stay here more permanently now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stroking his beard, Shen Lu said, “Now that Yingkelai’s business is booming, how could I not be here to oversee it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That makes things easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I won’t be coming personally in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll send my Uncle Zhang to deliver the goods for me,” she said and gestured for Zhang Liliang to greet Shen Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a nod, Shen Lu agreed, “Understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever you’re free, stop by to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, take this card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever you visit Yingkelai, you’ll have access to a private VIP room, with complimentary meals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu laughed, appreciating how good Shen Lu was at socializing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was far more enjoyable working with him than with the Du family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Shen Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be sure to come by and feast on the famed dishes of the number one restaurant in Beiyu City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As I’ve heard of your extraordinary culinary skills, I hope you might provide some suggestions when you do.” Shen Lu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This delivery was larger than the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did Bai Ruozhu deliver the initial order to Shen Lu, but she also received a sum of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lu was very considerate, paying in advance for the next order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Ruozhu was about to leave, but she saw a woman enter Yingkelai and directly proceed to the second floor rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She narrowed her eyes, recognizing the woman with phoenix eyes she had seen once at the hot spring mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped and asked softly, “Shen Lu, do you know who that woman is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lu glanced in the direction she was pointing and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before, I wasn’t often in Beiyu City, so I’m not familiar with the ladies of the local gentry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Madam Bai needs to know, I can have someone inquire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that, Bai Ruozhu quickly replied, “No need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just seemed familiar, that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has extraordinary bearing, and I guessed she must be from some influential family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the end of the year approaches, there will be many banquets, and I’m sure we’ll meet then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lu didn’t think much of it and bid farewell to Bai Ruozhu with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in the carriage with Zhang Liliang and her elder brother, Bai Ruozhu was deep in thought about the woman’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so lost in thought that she didn’t pay attention to the conversation between her elder brother and Zhang Liliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, through a crack in the carriage window curtain, she saw the figure of Senior Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Fox wasn’t wearing his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t smiling, but his eyes hinted at a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked quickly, clearly in a hurry to meet someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu glanced at the direction he was going, and guessed he was heading to Yingkelai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Senior Fox going to meet the woman with phoenix eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they actually a couple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the woman knew about the manor because of Senior Fox, and so she had gone for a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman wore the hairstyle of a married woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she already married Senior Fox?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, then Du Fuling had no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not even close to matching the woman with phoenix eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt her spirits lift, perhaps she had indeed been mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, I’m speaking to you!” Bai Zehao’s voice interrupted Bai Ruozhu’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother said I should take Caiyue back to Mountain Village for the New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you need me to take anything there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have any messages for our benefactor?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-05-30T14:09:08.057Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","ac9cfadfac33a3ae54458fd4b810802e3343fc92ef18fca4df597cd42a840571","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-506","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-504",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
