had seen Wu Wanqing’s horse carriage from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own carriage wasn’t traveling fast, so there had been some time before she reached it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse on Wanqing’s carriage was leisurely grazing, showing no signs of recent vigorous activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the carriage had been stationed here for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wanqing wouldn’t have known about Bai Ruozhu’s visit today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t as if she was specially waiting for her at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wanqing was truly waiting, wouldn’t it be more intimidating to wait inside the manor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the only explanation was that Jiang Yichun had ordered someone to stop her from entering the manor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu guessed that she wasn’t allowed inside due to her, Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting at the entrance was probably both due to stubborn refusal and a hope to meet Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Ruozhu’s smile, Wanqing’s face instantly turned sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ruozhu felt extremely satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her earlier anger towards Yichun had completely dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she still needed to scold him later on, to make him understand he should avoid such situations and maintain good habits going forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you laughing about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you believe you’ve already won?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will see how long you can keep that smile up!” Wu Wanqing suddenly exclaims through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu, somewhat surprised, looks at her and feigns confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you today, Miss Wu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You greeted me, and I responded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that only polite?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanqing was always skilled in presenting a front of grace and moderation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did she suddenly lose control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu supposed that she must have been driven mad by Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought cheered Ruozhu up a little bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Bai Ruozhu wasn’t unreasonable or overbearing, nor was she one to purely act out of jealousy, attempting to sever the connection between Yichun and her fellow disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her main problem was with Wu Wanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed Wanqing harbored hidden feelings for Yichun which she expressed under the pretext of treating his poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, there was a high chance that Wanqing was behind the love poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being so different in her public and private face, Wanqing was a dangerous woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See, aren’t her true colors revealed now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wanqing sneered, “Let’s speak plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bond between me and my fellow disciples spans many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not something you can disrupt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, how can I, an outsider, compete with your camaraderie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Wu, you’re worrying too much.” Bai Ruozhu responded with a snicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t take advantage of his gratitude towards you and act as you please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gratitude can be worn away with time, it is nothing compared to true feelings.” As she spoke her final words, she emphasized “feelings” especially heavily, a strange smile crept onto her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu raised an eyebrow, saying, “Thank you for the reminder, Miss Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have other matters to attend to, so I must excuse myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was her trying to tell Bai Ruozhu that Jiang Yichun was with Bai Ruozhu because she had saved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feelings for her were more gratitude than real affection, and he had a real affection for another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu narrowed her eyes, Wanqing definitely knew about the love potion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickened her pace, and as soon as she entered the gate, she saw the guards on both sides of the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On seeing her, they didn’t obstruct her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Wu Wanqing tried to follow, a guard stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, please return!” the guard said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this man was loyal to Jiang Yichun and not Wu Yunfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare speak to the young lady in such a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wanqing opened her mouth, perhaps unwilling to accept why Bai Ruozhu could enter while she couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was smart enough to know that asking such a question would only embarrass herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she tightly closed her mouth, turned around, got into her carriage, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the look in Wanqing’s eyes as she left, Ruozhu was certain she wasn’t going to accept this lying down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would undoubtedly be some form of retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when a soldier comes, an officer will resist; when a flood comes, the earth will consume it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not appropriate to let her into the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not only dangerous, but if it stirred up unfavorable rumors, Jiang Yichun would really have to “take responsibility” for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the commotion, Jiang Yichun came out of the house and went over to pick up Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, he said, “You’ve finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been waiting since early morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was no longer angry at him, in fact, she was even feeling a bit impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having just finished being angry not long ago, suddenly switching to a smiling face felt a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Ruozhu just turned her head away and whispered, “I ran into Wu Wanqing just outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She hasn’t left yet?” Jiang Yichun furrowed his brows in displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She got off her carriage, exchanged a few words with me, and then left.” Bai Ruozhu laughed in her heart, as it seemed that it was indeed Yichun who had chased Wanqing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s frown deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over, took Bai Ruozhu’s hand and asked, “What did she say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wanted to pull her hand away, but didn’t have the heart to in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let him hold her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one hand holding Dengdeng and the other holding Bai Ruozhu, to anyone who saw, they looked like a happily content family of three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She said that gratitude can’t compare to true feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She claimed I’m taking advantage of your gratitude towards me without boundaries, and that gratitude will eventually fade away.” Bai Ruozhu said in a disgruntled manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, who was leading her into the house, stopped in his tracks when he heard these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her seriously and said, “Don’t believe her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you know very well how I feel about you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how nervous he was, Bai Ruozhu thought to herself that her angry outburst the day before must have been a bit too effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s true I did save you twice,” she couldn’t help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun suddenly pulled her close, wrapping his arm around her waist then, their bodies pressed closely together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems I have to prove whether my feelings for you are genuine or not,” he said, with a smirk playing on the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved his lips closer to Bai Ruozhu’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu jolted in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still standing in the yard, and nearby guards were in full view!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned a deep shade of red, and she hurriedly pushed him away, saying, “Don’t mess around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are so many people watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dengdeng is watching you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her blushing, Jiang Yichun immediately laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu realized he was purposely trying to make her shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a little bit annoyed, and gave him a small pinch on his waist, before turning around to head indoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside, she saw Elder Shougu present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Jiang Yichun’s flirting in the yard, she cringed at the thought that Elder Shougu must have heard everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was beyond embarrassing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite feeling awkward, she gritted her teeth and greeted Elder Shougu, “Ruozhu pays her respects to Elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Shougu smiled kindly at her, lifted his hand, and said, “No need for such formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re still recovering from your injury.” He then gave Bai Ruozhu a once over, and asked, “Haven’t you been resting properly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your recovery can’t be messed up with poor sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, carrying Dengdeng on his back, entered shortly after, and upon hearing this, he immediately looked at Ruozhu, “You’re not sleeping well because you’re angry with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did she ever lose sleep over being angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun needs to watch his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t he see that Elder Shougu is laughing at us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because my grandmother caused a disturbance last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our neighbors reported her to the Government Office for disturbing the peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An officer arrived and took her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We only managed to get her back home early this morning.” Bai Ruozhu let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun thought about the tactless and pretentious Old Madam Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he say she deserved it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she is an elder of the Bai family, so it would sound disrespectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to sympathize with her, he just couldn’t do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry for my lack of updates yesterday everyone, I wasn’t feeling well and fell asleep while trying to put my child to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying more, I’ll give you five chapters today!\u003C\u002Fp>",1475,"2026-05-30T14:09:09.448Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","0052333bb4efaadd8fcc09b5d97681739a88594ce46cf21cc2a16dc922a24d18","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-591","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-589",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
