Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 543: Chapter 545: First Love and Current Love Rival Secretly Compete

At this moment, footsteps echoed from behind Jiang Yichun. Bai Ruozhu quickly pushed him away and wriggled out of his embrace.

Even so, Xu Huilin and Wu Wanqing, who were catching up from behind, saw the intimate scene between the two. Xu Huilin just chuckled quietly but Wu Wanqing’s face turned gloomy.

Xu Huilin glanced at Wu Wanqing and hurriedly stifled his laughter. Obsessed with teasing his junior disciple for falling in love, he had forgotten that his sister disciple was in distress.

Jiang Yichun wanted to hold Bai Ruozhu a bit longer, but the atmosphere was ruined by these two. He complained to Xu Huilin, ”Didn’t the master send you on a task?”

”Hey, can my little disciple not be so sexist? I’ve looked for you for days, is there no gratitude for my hard work? Wasn’t it me who diverted them in the end so you could return safely?” Xu Huilin responded, raising his eyebrows.

Jiang Yichun shot him a cold look, ”I’ll treat you to a drink later, but now, I want to catch up with my woman, go do whatever you need to do.”

The color drained from Wu Wanqing’s face, especially when she heard Jiang Yichun utter the words ”my woman”.

As if not noticing Wu Wanqing, Jiang Yichun held Bai Ruozhu’s hand in his, demonstrating his affection for her.

Bai Ruozhu felt a bit embarrassed and shot him a glare. She tried to shake off his hand but he held on tightly, making it impossible for her to escape.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Huilin said in a mutter: ”Regardless, you certainly change your tune when it comes to women. And you, you’re really bold!” The last sentence was directed at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu gave him a pleasant smile, ”Isn’t it you who sent me on a task, saying I could save him? And you were right.”

Xu Huilin’s eyes widened, and he looked at Bai Ruozhu, stunned, unable to voice his words in the end. Finally, he let out a deep sigh and said, ”Okay then, you’re both so cunning, I better go on with my tasks.”

Before leaving, he said to Wu Wanqing, ”Junior sister, I’m off to handle chores.”

Wu Wanqing forced a smile, ”Go ahead Second Brother, don’t postpone the important matter.”

This important matter definitely had something to do with dealing with Li Yi.

Xu Huilin left hurriedly, and the room was left with Jiang Yichun, Bai Ruozhu, and Wu Wanqing. But Wu Wanqing didn’t leave, and Jiang Yichun didn’t feel it right to bluntly ask her to leave like Xu Huilin. She really had patience.

”Third Brother, dad said that you were poisoned, and severely injured. Should I take your pulse?” Wu Wanqing spoke, her tone filled with concern, and a touch of pent-up frustration.

Jiang Yichun quickly glanced at Bai Ruozhu, gripping her hand a bit tighter, before replying to Wu Wanqing, ”No need, have you forgotten that I too have medical skills.”

”One cannot do without doctors, let me help you,” She walked towards Jiang Yichun and reached out to grab his arm..

Jiang Yichun instinctively backed away; seeing tears well up in Wu Wanqing’s eyes, he felt a twinge of guilt. His response might have been a bit over the top, making Wu Wanqing extremely embarrassed.

Wu Wanqing looked at him reproachfully, asking, ”Are you still blaming me, Third Brother, or are you afraid Miss Bai would get angry?” She turned to smile at Bai Ruozhu, saying, ”Miss Bai doesn’t seem like such a petty person.”

Bai Ruozhu also sent a grin back, revealing her pearly-white teeth, but the smile seemed somewhat chilling.

”Who said so? I’m quite a petty person,” Bai Ruozhu replied with laughter as if joking, ”But why would I be petty over something as serious as medical treatment?”

As long as you don’t mess around, of course, I wouldn’t be petty, Bai Ruozhu hinted through her words.

Jiang Yichun felt a twinge, he noticed Ruozhu’s stance; he wouldn’t dare soften his position and let Wu Wanqing treat him.

”Don’t worry, Ruozhu has a high level of medical expertise, and she already examined me.” Jiang Yichun hurriedly said.

Wu Wanqing glanced at Bai Ruozhu, her previously red eyes had already faded. Still with a faint smile on her face, she asked: ”Can Miss Bai possibly treat Third Brother’s poison?”

Bai Ruozhu suddenly seemed crestfallen. She couldn’t understand, how should she treat it?

”Indeed it’s a poison I’m not familiar with,” Bai Ruozhu could only answer truthfully.

Seeing her dejected, Jiang Yichun couldn’t help himself. He patted her hand and said, ”It’s a kind of poisonous insect poison, it’s normal for you not to know about such an exotic technique.”

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but widen her eyes. ”Then do you have a way to treat this poison? You can’t keep delaying, hurry up and think of a way to treat it.”

Before Jiang Yichun could respond, Wu Wanqing interjected, ”Third Brother is not good at curing this kind of poison, but I focused mainly on this aspect in my studies, so allow me to take a look.”

For Jiang Yichun’s safety, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t be stubborn anymore. She patted Jiang Yichun’s hand, signaling him to let go, then moved to the side, yielding her position.

”Let’s sit down and talk.” Wu Wanqing prompted Jiang Yichun to sit at the table. Following her instruction, Jiang Yichun raised his arm and placed it on the table, indicating her to take his pulse.

Even though his hand was set, Wu Wanqing extended hers to grasp Jiang Yichun’s hand. She delicately moved his hand to a different position, as if it would make taking his pulse easier.

Jiang Yichun was taken aback and went to withdraw his hand, which is when she softly responded, ”Why is my brother avoiding me?”

Her eyes were filled with affection and hurt. Jiang Yichun frowned, intending to avoid her, but she had already begun.

Therefore, neither Jiang Yichun nor Bai Ruozhu could say anything further. After all, tackling Jiang Yichun’s poison was the priority.

Bai Ruozhu watched at the side with clenched teeth, darn it, trying to seduce my man right under my watch? Do you really think I’m like Hello Kitty? Wait until the poison is treated then I’ll see you!

Suddenly, Wu Wanqing withdrew her hand and said, ”I should be able to treat him, it will be quite troublesome though. The treatment of this kind of poison requires half a month and cannot be interrupted in the middle, otherwise, it would all be wasted.”

Jiang Yichun nodded, ”The master won’t arrange any tasks for me in the near future, you can start the treatment. I appreciate your help.”

Wu Wanqing stared deeply into Jiang Yichun’s eyes and said softly, ”Why is Third Brother treating me like a stranger?”

Bai Ruozhu immediately sat next to Jiang Yichun, smiling at Wu Wanqing, ”I appreciate your help. I also want to thank you for assisting in curing Yichun’s poison. You’re about to have some hard work to do in the coming days.”

Wu Wanqing detected Bai Ruozhu’s attitude of the mistress of the house. She wore an embarrassed and wronged expression as she stood from the table, ”I’ll leave you two to continue catching up. I’m going to prepare the medicinal materials for the anti-poison treatment. I’ll come back later.”

Seeing Wu Wanqing leave so gracefully, Bai Ruozhu was somewhat surprised. She had to admit that this girl was at a higher level than Du Fuling. Wu Wanqing was confident, polite to Bai Ruozhu, extraordinarily caring for Jiang Yichun, and was the daughter of Wu Yunfeng. Nobody could really shut her out.
