Neither of Us Will Regret Bai Ruozhu wobbled, nearly losing her balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stifled back the tears, saying, “Er Lang, I know you worry about me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I promise that I will return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For you all and Dengdeng, I will come back safely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Bai Ruozhu’s determination, Bai Zepei angrily threw the book he held onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this how you act as a mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you thought about what will happen to Dengdeng if you leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is still breastfeeding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have stored breast milk in the ice cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be warmed up to feed Dengdeng every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Dengdeng will not want him to have an accident, right?” Bai Ruozhu said as she squatted to retrieve Er Lang’s book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Er Lang was genuinely angry since he loved books and would never have thrown them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she rose with the retrieved book, she couldn’t hold back her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew it wouldn’t be rational for her to go and that her going might not be helpful, but she just couldn’t resist her inner conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed the book back to Er Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two droplets of tears fell onto the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand of Bai Zepei was shaking as he reached for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too was filled with sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu rarely cried, even after Chang Sheng disappeared, she didn’t cry, unlike some other girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later Ruozhu turned into a strong, smart and capable person, and she cried even less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the tear stains on the book, Bai Zepei’s heart ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu was really heartbroken, wasn’t she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember when I asked if you regretted anything and you said that you had a bump on your head and didn’t remember much about Chang Sheng, so how could you have regrets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to ask you again today, will you regret this decision in the future?” Bai Zepei slowly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu shook her head, “I don’t know if I will regret it, but once I’ve decided something, I will endeavor to not let myself regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps I may end up going for nothing, but if I do nothing, I won’t be able to appease myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei stayed quiet for a long time, then glanced at her, “Remember what you’ve said today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I must attend the Study Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Er Lang’s shrinking back figure, tears filled Bai Ruozhu’s eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Lang, with his skinny body, carried such a heavy burden, and her decision today probably just added another burden to him, didn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly wiped away her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not the time to indulge in sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to be strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dare to go home right away with her present puffy eyes or her mom would definitely ask questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she took a horse carriage to the market and bought many things needed for the journey, including dim sum and dried food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also purchased a large amount of medicinal materials from the pharmacy, which cost a great deal of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Jiang Yichun gave her two thousand silver banknotes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the recent earnings from her business, she was able to afford all these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would purchase something and then find a secluded alley to secretly put the items into her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shopping around for a while, she touched her eyes, making sure they were fine, and then hired a carriage to take her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once home, she milked her chests again, this time getting three bottles which she stored in the ice cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei arrived home later than usual that evening, looking rather unwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, he called Bai Ruozhu into his room with a stern face, saying, “I learnt from the official Meng that there’s indeed trouble there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has also sent people to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Er Lang had decided to support her, so he enquired about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I plan to wait for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s still no news, then I will leave,” Bai Ruozhu whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei sighed, “Tomorrow I’ll tell father and mother that official Meng invited you to treat a high-ranking official in a different location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the treatment succeeds, you will be awarded by the Imperial Court and will come back after a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward for the suturing technique she had offered to the Imperial Court was expected to arrive soon, so it tied up well with this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll ask mom and dad not to share this matter with others, so you can rest assured,” Bai Zepei reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s eyes welled up with tears again, and she said in a choked voice, “Thank you, Er Lang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei sighed heavily again, “I hope I won’t regret my decision today, and I hope this doesn’t thrust you into a hole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will return safe and sound,” Bai Ruozhu earnestly vowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei didn’t want to look at his little sister anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was afraid he might change his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for the numerous surprises Ruozhu had given him in the past half year and her insistence at this moment, he would never have allowed her to take this risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have to wait for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was regretting it already!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps were heard outside the room, and Lin Ping Er knocked on the door, saying, “What are you two siblings whispering about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping Er noticed something was off with Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zepei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei hurriedly welcomed his mother into the room and told her the excuse he had planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, tell father about this privately and don’t mention it to anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other family members ask about it, just tell them Ruozhu has been invited out of town to treat somebody but.don’t mention it’s a high-ranking official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just say it’s a woman from a rich merchant’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter concerns politics in the Imperial Court and shouldn’t be disclosed,” Bai Zepei added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Ping Er quickly asked, looking at Bai Ruozhu, “What about Dengdeng, are you taking him with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu shook her head, “The journey is too far this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t take Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve stored my breast milk in the ice cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he’s hungry, just warm one of the bottles to feed him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you stay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t need to rely on a large reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child certainly can’t be without you,” Lin Ping Er worriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing her mother’s words, Bai Ruozhu’s eyes reddened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the candle light in the room was dim and her mother didn’t notice she was about to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, since official Meng himself said so, we must abide by the arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s deemed necessary by the government,” Bai Zepei whispered, glancing at his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Ping Er did not object further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, their entire family relied on living in Beiyu City and Er Lang’s future career was associated with official Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they were living in a house arranged by the Meng family, so they ought to show their gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lin Ping Er looked at Bai Ruozhu, “What if the milk you’ve stored is not enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu handed her mother a hundred-silver banknote, “If it’s not enough, find a wet nurse or another mother who is breastfeeding to feed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep this money safe, it can be used for household shopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s an urgent need, we can take some from the shop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping Er nodded and carefully accepted the banknote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following two days, Bai Ruozhu spent all her time with Dengdeng, aside from arranging her affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to spend as much time with Dengdeng as possible, but she was torn between wanting Dengdeng to miss her less or more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even thought about how reluctant she was to leave Dengdeng, pondering bringing him along with her, but she eventually dismissed this crazy idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was taking a risk herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she involve Dengdeng as well?\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-05-30T14:09:08.057Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","bcedd753b2bc58260a54e807c2e1d3b68cb6bf50a6152738450ea8cd2d52522b","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-524","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-522",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
