659: Searching for the Lady with a Cute Baby Xie Dun looked out of the window, his eyebrows inadvertently furrowing at the sight of his second aunt acting like a madwoman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but recall past disputes between his second aunt and uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were times when she, in her hysteria, would tear at her own hair and bang her head against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the wall, it would be the main gate she’d run outside and weep, accusing her husband of abuse in front of the neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t she even consider that with her martial arts skills, who could possibly overpower her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed softly and whispered, “I will arrange a separate residence for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his words, joy flashed in Yu Hongxiu’s eyes, but was quickly concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, an old friend of mine has just arrived at Beiyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will introduce you both later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and I were childhood friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we got married, he couldn’t attend the ceremony as he was in his hometown mourning his wife’s passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His three-year mourning period is now over, so he will settle down permanently in Beiyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will begin teaching at a private school soon and might join me in the exams this year,” Xie Dun informed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go and meet him then,” replied Yu Hongxiu, shaking her head helplessly at the day’s havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xie Dun stopped her and said, “No rush, it’s quite chaotic outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu glanced out the window, and saw Ji Ziyan standing under a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was studying the tree with an air of calm, seemingly oblivious to the Deng Shi’s noisy confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard that Xie Dun’s friend had mourned his wife for three years, she felt a deep admiration for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Danliang Country, filial piety was highly valued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Direct elders’ death required mourning, and three years signified great piety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was very rare for a man to mourn his wife, let alone for three long years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed what a loyal and principled man he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Yu Hongxiu quietly asked Xie Dun about the circumstances of the friend’s wife’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Dun sighed and said, “She died in childbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the mother nor the child survived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Dun, clearly had a close bond with Ji Ziyan, reddened eyes revealing his emotion when he spoke of the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…” Yu Hongxiu let out a low gasp, “If only they had met Ruozhu sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe his family wouldn’t have to go through this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thought to herself that she hadn’t transmigrated three years ago, and moreover, her former self did not possess medical skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them were all feeling a bit somber due to Ji Ziyan’s tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against this backdrop, the screaming of Deng Shi outside seemed all the more neurotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Deng Jiayin, with a timid look, approached and gently said, “Auntie, don’t be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it’s just a misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sister-in-law is not a petty person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Shi had sworn her version of the events repeatedly, her fury escalating with each retelling, to the point where she was losing rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had tried to barge in but was blocked by two bodyguards which only infuriated her more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lacked the clarity to realize that Deng Jiayin was giving her a chance for a more graceful recovery and out of nowhere, she slapped Deng Jiayin hard across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whose side are you on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you taking the stranger’s side instead of your own family?” Deng Shi shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her anger, she hit Deng Jiayin so hard that the side of Deng Jiayin’s face almost instantly swelled considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered her face and began to cry, “Auntie, I didn’t mean it like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A happy home brings prosperity to everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we always quarrel like this, please let me go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From inside the house, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but want to applaud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she knew that Deng Shi wasn’t using a decoy strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Deng Jiayin had used this opportunity to rapidly react, enhancing her image of a pitiful victim and implying she was being held against her will by Deng Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether this was true or false was yet to be determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a loud slap, it was impossible for Ji Ziyan to continue pretending nothing was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thus turned around and greeted Deng Shi, “Second Aunt, we meet again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking surprised, Deng Shi stared at Ji Ziyan and asked, “Why is it you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Ziyan just smiled, not saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that he didn’t particularly care for Deng Shi, and the sentiment seemed mutual, with the added fact that Deng Shi had no idea how to deal with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Dun quickly walked out and said to Deng Shi, “Second Aunt, why don’t you and your cousin go back to your room to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will come and see you later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Shi started causing a commotion again, shouting loudly and giving everyone a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Dun furrowed his brows and said to the two guards, “Madame Deng is emotionally overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take her back to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor will be here shortly to check on her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the orders, the guards escorted Deng Shi away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Jiayin bit her lip and shamefully said, “Cousin, I apologize on behalf of my aunt to you and your wife for causing trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was swollen high, yet she was out here apologizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking pitiable, she seemed to understand the severity of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sound of a child’s babbling came from the courtyard entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu looked over and saw Jiang Yichun striding in, carrying Little Dengdeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he was wearing a mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, sir, what brings you here?” Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie quickly went up to him and paid his respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun was carrying the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he emanated a cool energy, the presence of the adorable little Dengdeng disrupted the aura, making him seem less standoffish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing much, the child wanted his mother, so I came over to check.” Jiang Yichun replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu hadn’t yet discussed her situation with Jiang Yichun to Sister Hongxiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon looking out the window, Sister Hongxiu chuckled, “Go ahead quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that both the big and small are looking for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu blushed and quickly left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She noted that Jiang Yichun had been unusually clingy these past few days, often coming to find her with their child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she left, she noticed Deng Jiayin secretly sizing up Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon meeting him, she sneakily glanced at Ji Ziyan, then Xie Dun, her gaze somewhat cryptic and inscrutable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Bai Ruozhu was also a woman, how could she not understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Deng Jiayin was probably desperate to be married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any encounter with a man would lead her to analyze him, most likely comparing who was more suited to be her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Ruozhu went to take Dengdeng, Jiang Yichun avoided her and said, “Let me hold him, he’s rather heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have other things to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Hongxiu is not feeling well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I planned to have lunch with her before leaving.” Bai Ruozhu whispered, sensing that everyone in the courtyard was watching them and feeling somewhat embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a wise man, Xie Dun immediately said, “Since you’re already here, why not join us for lunch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then we’ll impose on you.” After saying this, Jiang Yichun took a look at the direction Deng Shi had left, asking, “There won’t be any loud and dramatic people coming, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want the child to get scared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no there won’t.” Xie Dun replied awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, no one in the courtyard was paying attention to Deng Jiayin anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With much reluctance, she could only bow to Xie Dun and say, “Cousin, I will take my leave first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, she performed a ceremony towards Ji Ziyan and Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her manners were impeccable, and her movements delicate and pitiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with her swollen cheek and red eyes, any man would likely feel pity and inquire about her wellbeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for her, Jiang Yichun didn’t even look at her properly, and Ji Ziyan seemed oblivious, engrossed in the study of a nearby tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Deng Jiayin had no choice but to leave gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she was so frail that it seemed a gust of wind could blow her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Book Friends Nico^ω^, Osoalc, Joy in My Heart, Dream, ‘if…’, ‘Watch and Laugh’, Simple Face, Poisonous Heart, Shout-Shout, Flowers and
