Chapter 573: Xiaosi Wants to Enter the Tongzheng Division Bai Ruozhu, though physically weak, was in good spirits, immediately noticing the hesitation in her father’s eyes, she asked, “Father, what’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’d better not be hiding anything from me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A twitch appeared at the corner of Bai Yihong’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruozhu, you’re just too astute and it’s exhausting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was slightly speechless, laughing she said, “It’s called good observation skills, I don’t overthink things daily, how can that be exhausting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But father, if you’re hiding something from me, then I will definitely let my mind wander.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll tell you now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally thought to wait a few days so as not to disrupt your rest,” sighed Bai Yihong reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, “I just went to see Xiaosi, he’s recovering quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it seems he’s gotten chummy with the guards from the Ministry of Rites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wishes to have one as his mentor and eventually join the Ministry himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bai Ruozhu could say anything, Lin Ping’er was the one who reacted anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s such a dangerous job!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that people only go there if they have no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s living a good life now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he put himself in harm’s way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu gently pinched the chubby little hand of Dengdeng, her voice somewhat profound as she spoke, “My recent episode must have stimulated Xiaosi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably feels useless being unable to protect his family due to his lack of martial arts skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er were at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er had tears in her eyes and after a while she mumbled, “Oh, our Xiaosi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu felt a cloud of gloom in her heart, she had thought that by watching out for Xiaosi, she was opening up a whole new world for him, helping him connect with the beautiful things in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she didn’t even know what she’d done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for trying to protect her, Xiaosi wouldn’t have pissed off Sanlang, who later often tormented him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, if it weren’t for saving her, how would Xiaosi, at this tender age, have charged with a kitchen knife to attack someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nearly lost his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he wants to learn skills and join the Ministry of Rites, is he trying to gain the ability to protect her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu found it hard to swallow, desperately wanting to break down in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt as if she had failed to protect Xiaosi and the family appropriately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sank into a pessimistic mood, blaming everything on herself, almost thinking of herself as a calamity to the country and the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng reached out his hand to touch her face, probably curious about what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er held Dengdeng closer to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng gurgled with laughter, put his arms around Bai Ruozhu’s neck, and planted a kiss on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu snapped back to her senses, seeing Dengdeng’s triumphant little face, she couldn’t help but laugh as well, dissipating the negative emotions from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that she wasn’t perfect or omnipotent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t strong enough presently to better protect her family, but she was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was young, she could continue to strive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she didn’t give up, she would grow stronger, strong enough that no one could harm her family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Bai Ruozhu was full of motivation, it was a new year and she was now seventeen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would make herself prosperous as quickly as possible, hire some bodyguards, and even invite martial arts experts — that way, who would fear the likes of Li Yi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there weren’t many reckless villains like Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dead, and his accomplices had been eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was there to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, Mother, don’t worry, I’ll talk to Xiao Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can be stubborn at times but he’s reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think he’ll understand soon.” said Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words brought considerable relief to Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two continued their conversation with Bai Ruozhu for a while, then left with Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next two days, Bai Ruozhu would sleep for longer periods after taking her medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she woke up, her parents and Dengdeng would usually have arrived to visit her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her parents and Dengdeng beside her, she was in good spirits and her recovery was quicker than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, she was barely able to get out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She told the maids outside that she wanted to visit Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One sharp maid found a palanquin and had two guards lift Bai Ruozhu for the visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, feeling somewhat embarrassed, expressed her thanks to them and rewarded them with silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three days having passed without seeing Jiang Yichun, she was feeling rather anxious, but she didn’t show it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also didn’t dare to ask the maids about his condition, fearing he might disregard his own health and rush over to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, those three days went by quickly and now she was able to see him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping down from the palanquin, she gently opened the room door and went in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, who lay on the bed, was still asleep, his heavy injuries leaving him oblivious to her entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu tiptoed over and sat down beside his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lost weight; his face was sunk in, and hair bristled from his usually clean-shaven chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no maid around him and during his serious injury, there was no one to take care of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a guard brought in some water and seeing Bai Ruozhu immediately paid his respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu made a hushing gesture indicating not to wake Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard quickly nodded, thinking to himself how fondly Bai Ruozhu cared for Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu asked the guard to put down the water before walking out of the room with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave the guard some silver and softly asked, “Have you been the one taking care of Yichun these past few days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Miss Bai,” the guard answered respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your hard work,” Bai Ruozhu genuinely appreciated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard showed an awkward expression, “I’m just doing my job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Master Jiang would have a personal attendant to tend to his needs, but unfortunately…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, there was a noise from inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun was waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard quickly said, “Miss Bai, you should go and see Master Jiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity seized Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he mean by “unfortunately”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t he finish his sentence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Ruozhu was more eager to see Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She entered the room again and the first thing Jiang Yichun saw as he opened his eyes was her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face immediately showed surprise but then quickly fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Running around when you’re not yet fully recovered, looks like I’ll have to spank you!” barked Jiang Yichun, glaring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to sit up but Bai Ruozhu quickly stepped forward to support him, propping a pillow behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The doctor said I can get out of bed and besides, I came here in a palanquin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t exert myself.” Bai Ruozhu quickly defended herself before reluctantly saying, “I plan to go home today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not convenient having my parents travel back and forth every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone at home is worried about me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun showed a reluctant expression in pulling her hand back but said, “Or could you consider staying a few more days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether I stay here or not, I can’t see you anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it’s not convenient for me to stay too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides…” Bai Ruozhu trailed off a bit, “Your junior sister has been sweet-talking my mother, even wanting to hold Dengdeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s face immediately sank, “You’re right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not safe for your family to always bring Dengdeng here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should go home to rest and recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should all recover quickly and then… then we can go to the Hot Spring Mansion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu instantly flushed red at this remark, ‘What’s he thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s seriously injured and still thinking of such silly things?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-05-30T14:09:09.448Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","6b24b38c35a45279a9ebeacf7be62ade2363bc34a403262a1c016a89823926c0","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-572","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-570",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
