600: Are They Still Not Giving Up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, when Bai Ruozhu received Jiang Yichun’s letter, she was busy preparing for the clothes she would wear to the party of Lady Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his letter, Jiang Yichun mentioned that he was about to set sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he made a stop midway, it wouldn’t be convenient for him to send letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu found it amusing that considering the time it took for the letter to reach her, he practically wrote it the day after he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, according to the content of the letter, Jiang Yichun’s forgetfulness spell still hasn’t been lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, everytime she thinks about this forgetfulness spell, her heart would pound probably from the fear of being surpassed by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Ruozhu let her mind wander, time flew by and by noon she had only completed a quarter of the dress she was making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling frustrated, she set aside her work and went to feed Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had stopped taking the medicine a few days ago and could now breastfeed Dengdeng, so she paid off the temporary nurse she had hired and thanked her graciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she stepped out of the room, she bumped into her second brother’s inquisitive gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a raised eyebrow, he asked: “What’s the matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You seem lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s letters couldn’t be delivered directly to the Bai Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they were sent to the City Lord’s Residence and then passed on by Meng Liangshen to Bai Zepei, before finally being handed over to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Bai Zepei was well aware of Jiang Yichun’s trip to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu pouted in embarrassment, accepting that her second brother was making fun of her this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak, Bai Zepei walked over, ruffled her hair, and said: “Don’t worry, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng said he will definitely be promoted this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can start preparing your wedding dress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu blushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was her second brother comforting her or making fun of her by mentioning a wedding dress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother, stop worrying about me all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re always attending these banquets, haven’t you met any woman who could captivate your heart?” Bai Ruozhu decided to hit back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei’s eyes flashed as he replied, “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother was certainly hiding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that his love life was finally about to bloom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Lin Ping’er called the siblings for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guizhi brought the food into the main room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu remembered her feelings for her second brother and felt a twinge of pain for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hoped that Guizhi could let go sooner; feelings were the hardest things to force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Bai Ruozhu summoned the women of the family and carefully discussed the requirements for Lady Meng’s screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that the screen would be presented to the palace and even given to the Empress Dowager, everyone immediately became serious, their backs noticeably straighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to be too nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What we are making now is just a sample and not the final submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we only need to make a quarter of it.” Seeing their anxiety, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled her own initial reaction: fear of losing her head that she dared not accept the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu then turned to Wan Caiyue and said: “Sister-in-law, it’s important for you to take care of your pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can just watch how it’s done for now, and help when we officially start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Caiyue pursed her lips and finally nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a good time for over-exerting herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, everyone was diligently working on their tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good thing about crochet is how easy it is to connect the individual pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the afternoon the next day, the first sample was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu brought the sample to the Meng Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Bai Ruozhu was favored by Lady Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being generous also helped, the doorkeeper was overjoyed to greet her and accompanied her to the inner courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Lady Meng, Bai Ruozhu displayed the small sample.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon inspection, Lady Meng commented, “It really does look like the drawing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Meng gently felt the fabric, looking somewhat worried, she asked: “If the screen is left standing for a while, will it sag and become deformed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and agreed that it could become a possiblity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned, “Lady, I’ll have to think about some improvements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll present a revised version in a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Meng smiled warmly and said, “You are very conscientious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel relieved leaving this matter to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Bai Ruozhu checked on Lady Meng’s dental condition, her tooth pulp was almost strengthened completely, it was now possible to fill the cavity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu decided that in a few days once she received the materials sourced by the Du Family, she could fill Lady Meng’s tooth decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding Lady Meng farewell, Bai Ruozhu proceeded to the Xie Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was worried, as Yu Hongxiu had stopped visiting her after her injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the Xie Residence, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie was not home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Ruozhu was waiting for Yu Hongxiu, a middle-aged woman with a square face approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was all smiles greeting Bai Ruozhu, her eyes were constantly sizing her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I know your name young lady?” the square-faced woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was slightly irritated by the woman’s attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impolite to examine guests like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely she should have introduced herself first before asking such a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was she being so intrusive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu assumed the woman must be a relative of the Xie Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To maintain courtesy, she bent slightly, introducing herself as “I am Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May I know how I should address you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, upon hearing her name, the woman’s previously smiling face instantly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look in her eyes turned from curious to blatant disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, so you’re that Bai Ruozhu,” said the square-faced woman with a strange tone that left Bai Ruozhu somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Yu Hongxiu’s voice came from inside, asking “Ruyi, could you check if Ruozhu is here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Ruozhu heard Yu Hongxiu’s voice, she was startled because it was weak and hoarse, sounding extremely tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the square-faced woman, as soon as she saw Yu Hongxiu’s maid, Ruyi, she rushed up to her and asked anxiously: “Ruyi, what happened to Sister Hongxiu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruyi glanced at the square-faced woman, opened then quickly closed her mouth, looking frightened to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had an idea, but didn’t want to put Ruyi in a tough spot, she said: “Let’s go and check on Sister Hongxiu first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, as she was about to leave, the square-faced woman suddenly charged towards her, blocking her way and roaring: “Who gave you permission to come in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are a charlatan who bewitches people with your words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t let Yu Hongxiu be deceived by you anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you to meddle in the affairs of the Xie Family?” Bai Ruozhu retorted coldly, not backing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a trace of triumph in her eyes, the square-faced woman responded: “I’m Xie Dun’s aunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents died early, so if his uncle and I don’t look after him, who will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re practically his parents, don’t you think I have a right to interfere in Xie Family’s affairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu mulled over this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxiu had mentioned the situation of the Xie Family in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two years of marriage without children, the elders started stirring up troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some suggested that Xie Dun take a concubine, others suggested him to adopt children from the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now with Yu Hongxiu pregnant, were they still unwilling to give up?\u003C\u002Fp>",1329,"2026-05-30T14:09:09.448Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","9feeeb4777ccd4755858d86838304bab73be372287be4470cff9d878ddbcc5ef","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-599","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-597",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
