it’s really strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard you broke your water because you fell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did you fall when everything was fine?” Hao Baishuang took Bai Ruozhu’s pulse and casually asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu wiped the light sweat off her forehead and bitterly laughed, “I was pushed by my cousin, hence frightening my parents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Baishuang frowned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a cousin push his elder cousin, moreover, one who was visibly pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hao Baishuang disliked meddling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued the check-up and then said, “The situation isn’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve handled it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child isn’t in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now we’re waiting for you to go into labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you cannot give birth smoothly by this time tomorrow, I’ll have to induce labor with medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inducing labor isn’t safe, but remaining in labor too long after the water breaks is equally unsafe, so inducing labor was the only option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu nodded without asking more, wanting to relax and shorten the intervals between contractions.p>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Mountain Village, Liu Dun and some officers lay in wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They claimed they would not rush into action and potentially scare away their target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after waiting for a long time without any movement, he began to suspect that Hao Baishuang was acting as the bait, allowing the true spy to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Liu Dun couldn’t stand idly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instructed his counterparts to keep watch, while he quietly left and returned to Anyuan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of Anyuan Town, Du Zhongshu was pacing anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sent someone to deliver a note to the local county head, but the county head, who usually had a good relationship with him, was surprisingly absent from the Government Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he desired to leave the town, he would have to endure a thorough search, and the officers conducting the investigation seemed to be particularly meticulous, refusing to let him exit the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Dun entered the town without anyone trying to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found Jiang Yichun and quickly relayed his suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, absorbed in thought, chuckled after hearing everything, “You misunderstood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female doctor is just delivering a message to someone to attend a childbirth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Dun looked at Du Zhongshu in his splendid attire from a distance;

this was classified information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t they refrain from announcing it so loudly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Zhongshu, standing not far away, overheard the officer’s words and anxiously asked the officer who stopped him, “Now that the spy has been caught, can I leave town?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have something urgent to attend to; it has already been delayed for too long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun’s face, hidden behind the mask, was extremely cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know why he found Du Zhongshu so irritating, and his words made him even more resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the commotion, Liu Dun came to ask Jiang Yichun, “Master, should we let that man go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yichun, already annoyed, turned and fiercely glared at Liu Dun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was wearing a mask which covered his expressions, one could only see two eyes through the eyeholes in the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Dun was so startled by his intense glare that his legs turned soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost fell to his knees and muttered to himself about how he always seemed to upset the master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Jiang Yichun did allow Du Zhongshu to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On seeing Du Zhongshu rush off on horseback without even using his carriage, he couldn’t help but let out a cold huff, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is he in such a hurry for someone else’s childbirth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s all flustered over a widow; he really is a disgrace to the Du Family of Beiyu!” Jiang Yichun said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Dun froze, gazing blankly at his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he quickly lowered his head, fearing another reprimand from his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out why his master was behaving so unusually today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the master was known for being aloof and stern, he was kind at heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seldom deliberately prevented someone from leaving, unless said person was highly suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, usually, the master didn’t talk much, so why was he today suddenly mentioning someone else flustering over a widow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be the master knows the Bai Family woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, all these thoughts merely ran through Liu Dun’s mind, and he definitely wouldn’t dare to ask Jiang Yichun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Du Zhongshu, he sped on horseback for a while but then suddenly slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had received a note and escalated to taking a carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He claimed to have bumped into Lin Ping and took the initiative to help, sending her and Hao Baishuang to Mountain Village, thereby also receiving the chance to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, he was a step too late and delayed for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if he suddenly visited the Bai Family, what could he use as an excuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, Du Zhongshu suddenly slapped his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have forgotten about the information Zhou Fu had found?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could say he was Chang Sheng’s friend and Chang Sheng had entrusted him to deliver some silver to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he cheered up again, whipped the horse, and hurriedly headed towards Mountain Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Baishuang had once asked him why he was so attentive to Bai Ruozhu’s matters and reminded him not to forget Bai Ruozhu’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frankly replied, “She is my important business partner, capable of helping me earn a large amount of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I not care about her safety?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Baishuang seemed not to believe him completely and didn’t want to meddle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Zhong remained undisturbed though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was like this for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he have any indecent thoughts about a pregnant widow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the real situation was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes one doesn’t understand oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the day turned to dusk, Bai Ruozhu had another difficult dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contractions were becoming more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Baishuang examined her and found that her cervix hadn’t dilated two fingers’ length yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still more to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, while the villagers were gathered in Mountain Village chatting under a tree, a man on horseback stormed into the village, stopping in front of the Bai Family’s house, attracting quite a lot of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>",1331,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","24ee997f2e99779f6bbf81a7b5e4522507c57b9f485c593982d7ec976946fc88","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-96","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-94",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
