677: Chapter 679: Where did the Kidnapper Come From?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next afternoon, Cui Fan returned with a report, saying that the old Mistress Meng had sent a manager to the government office to express her fondness for the dim sum of Ronglang Pastry Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt it would be a pity for such an ancient establishment to go under and asked Kuai Minglang to carefully investigate the matter, so as not to let an honest man be wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuai Minglang, a man who typically paid respects to no one, dared not show any disrespect to Mistress Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He promptly responded to the manager in the Meng Residence, promising to thoroughly investigate the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, after we delivered the message, Official Kuai immediately went to arrest someone from the Zhou family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared that Wang Dianji might intervene, so he ordered an urgent investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really arrested that merchant from the Zhou family!” Cui Fan exclaimed, looking somewhat exhilarated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these days at the Bai family, he finally had some serious work to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, it seemed that Wang Dianji did not send anyone to interfere, nor did Lady Zhou,” Cui Fan added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded, “You don’t need to worry about the Wang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are dealing with the Zhou family this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they want to blame anyone, they can only blame their own crafty hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, we wouldn’t have an opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mistress Meng kept pressurizing the Wang family, and even Wang Dianji wasn’t a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably wanted to be rid of his wife now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a man takes a wife, he should not abandon her easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou was involved in a plot to harm a pregnant woman, even letting a maid commit suicide to take the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that scare any man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Zhou merchant insisted on his innocence, claiming that his goods could be checked and that his almonds were fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s inquiry only goes as far as here,” Cui Fan said with a tinge of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu began to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t seen the cake that poisoned the child or Zhou merchant’s almonds, so she couldn’t know the precise situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, Cui Fan returned and reported: “Miss, the coroner at the government offices re-examined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The almonds in the pastry were not poisonous, the poison was inside the pastry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Bai Ruozhu was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t that proof that the almonds provided by the Zhou merchant to Ronglang Pastry Shop were not the problem, but the problem lay with the merchant couple Wang Shuan instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Official Kuai detained both Wang Shuan and the Zhou merchant for further investigation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu didn’t speak for a while, pondering possible scenarios in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt extremely frustrated not being able to figure this out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You continue to keep an eye on the Zhou family’s movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t find enough evidence, plant some,” Bai Ruozhu whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Fan bowed his head and said: “Yes, those who want to accomplish great things don’t stick to trifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re right, Miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was pleased that the guard from Mistress Meng wasn’t an obscurantist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, keep me informed of any developments, and be careful,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” After Cui Fan answered, he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun walked in, obviously annoyed, and said: “It’s enough that I arranged for someone to help you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shouldn’t always be whispering with that guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he cast a sideways glance, appearing quite aloof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, our distinguished third son is jealous of a guard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then you shouldn’t have any subordinates around you, I do have to think a lot about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All my subordinates are men, so what are you thinking about?” Saying this, he suddenly flicked his finger, bouncing it off Bai Ruozhu’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu let out a soft cry, covering her sore forehead and complaining: “Isn’t it between men that there are sparks of friendship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking in your head?” Jiang Yichun gave Bai Ruozhu an irritated look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Bai Ruozhu quickly covered her forehead with both hands, fearing he would flick her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked slightly disoriented, making the scene very amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, always careful and astute, couldn’t help but laugh at Bai Ruozhu’s quirky side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold facial features softened as he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the yard, Lin Pingr looked towards the main house and snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Caiyue, who was accompanying her, also looked towards the main house and saw Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun sitting at the table, speaking to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her angle, she could see the side of Jiang Yichun’s face clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was smiling as he looked at Bai Ruozhu, his eyes never leaving her as if nothing else in the world could distract him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The relationship between the younger sister and Chang Sheng is quite good,” Wan Caiyue sincerely praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Pingr’s laughter grew louder, “Isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruozhu is lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After going through a lot of trouble, she eventually ended up with Dengdeng’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things are finally perfect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, we didn’t expect this at the beginning,” Wan Caiyue said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we are now looking forward to Ruozhu having another child following you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Er Lang marries a wife, I would wake up laughing from my dreams,” Lin Pingr said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It will happen soon, Mother, don’t worry,” Wan Caiyue casually said to cheer Lin Pingr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn’t expect Lin Pingr to immediately think of Tu Ying and feel worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought Tu Ying was a good girl, but the Bai family could hardly afford her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she asked Er Lang about his thoughts, he insisted he was not considering it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had decided that if he were to marry, it would only be after he had finished high school, but she still felt uneasy about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, after feeding the baby milk, Bai Ruozhu asked Jiang Yichun to put the baby to sleep while she visited Hua Xiangrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun,d not worried knowing he had arranged plenty of people to protect her, smiled and said: “Go ahead and do your work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the baby wakes up, we’ll come to pick you up from the shop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu immediately felt like her husband and child were coming to pick her up from work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadn’t she been hoping for this kind of peaceful and warm life in her previous life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you.” She smiled at him, a particularly sweet smile that made him feel a tickling sensation in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu asked Wa San to ready the horse carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she rode towards Hua Xiangrong’s place, she pondered about the issue with the almond crisp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly from ahead, Wa San shouted, “Be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she had time to think, a thud sound was heard as the carriage violently collided with something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stumbled and fell down within the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the carriage was padded with thick cushions which prevented her head from being severely hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got up and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wa San, what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no response from the outside, but the neighing of horses could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like two carriages had collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worried that Wa San was severely injured and hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth while two skilled men grabbed and tied her arms behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re going to take you somewhere nice to eat and drink and let you become someone’s mistress,” One of them whispered, envy apparent in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he was disappointed that he wasn’t a woman and so couldn’t be the ‘mistress’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu spun her eyes around, trying to silently instruct Furball not to attack and to wait and see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over this period, she had discovered that she could mentally communicate with the little creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious about the sudden appearance of these people and what they meant by ‘mistress’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed odd, so she decided to go along and see what was up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1354,"2026-05-30T14:09:09.870Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d4ad5c3bafa62ac33050c84116dec92bf6f80965480d656dd774993cd887486","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-678","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-676",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
