Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1865: Chapter 1865: King Rui’s Coronation of the Empress

Until the troops arrived outside the City Gate of Beiyu, Mo Beishan suddenly caught up again.

”What are you doing? Looking to die?” Fen Jiu swung a sleeve.

Mo Beishan barely dodged, anxiously shouting, ”I just want to say a few words to Madam Jiang, I’ll leave once I’m done.”

Bai Ruozhu got off the horse carriage, looking at him from a distance, ”Speak quickly or let it out quickly.”

”Calm down and detoxify Huang Rou, her servants can’t find her, they will soon locate you here. There are many experts in the Huang Family, you really shouldn’t offend them.” Mo Beishan said.

Bai Ruozhu let out a cold laugh, ”Her servants wouldn’t find me unless you tattle, only then would they hassle me. Besides, when did I poison her? Don’t slander me without evidence. Or are you threatening me?”

Mo Beishan’s brows furrowed in anxiety, ”Madam Jiang, why go through this trouble, it’s just an injured maidservant. I will have the Huang Family compensate you properly.”

Bai Ruozhu was even angrier upon hearing this, forming a seal with her fingers, she cast a magic technique and struck, ”Get lost! What do you mean just a maidservant, my people aren’t divided by rank or prestige, only people like you, who look down on others and don’t respect life, enjoy hurting people indiscriminately. That Huang Rou met her retribution, let her slowly wait for death!”

Jiao Ling, fearing Bai Ruozhu would harm her health from rage, threw out a Mechanical Beast, shouting at Mo Beishan, ”What nonsense Huang Family, let them come, we Jiuli people are not to be trifled with!”

The Mechanical Snake unfurled and quickly attacked Mo Beishan, who had to retreat a few steps, his gaze towards Bai Ruozhu filled with surprise and bewilderment.

When Bai Ruozhu used the magic technique, he knew this Madam Jiang was no simple person, but later Jiao Ling’s words shocked him even more.

The Jiuli Clan, a people so mysterious they were revered with awe, and to think Madam Jiang is from the Jiuli Clan!

He smiled bitterly, perhaps worrying too much. He quickly retreated, and the Mechanical Snake didn’t intend to take his life, soon returning to Jiao Ling’s hand, transforming into a bracelet coiling around her wrist.

Mo Beishan looked back at Bai Ruozhu, her words kept echoing in his mind.

”What do you mean just a maidservant, my people aren’t divided by rank or prestige, only people like you who look down on others and don’t respect life enjoy hurting people indiscriminately.”

Isn’t it said that those aristocratic ladies care most about status and rank? Why would she say such words?

Muxin, a bit worried, assisted by maids, walked up to Bai Ruozhu, saluted, and said, ”Madam, I am fine now. Please don’t offend that lady on my behalf, I do not want to bring trouble to you.”

Lady Bai helped Muxin up, ”No trouble at all, whether it’s you or anyone else around me facing this, I would do the same. Don’t overthink it.”

”But...” Muxin wanted to say more, Bai Zebo stopped her, saying, ”There’s no but, it’s the retribution she deserved.”

Muxin said no more, but worry lingered in her eyes, truly fearing the Huang Family would trouble Bai Ruozhu, as Mo Beishan had said.

Then everyone entered the City; under Lu’s lead, they entered the Palace to meet the Emperor, soon seeing Jiang Yichun and Gao Zhou beside the Emperor in the Guest Palace.

”Achun!” Bai Ruozhu called, but was only greeted with Jiang Yichun’s cold face, not even a response.

Gao Zhou kicked him on the side, saying, ”What’s your problem, how can you treat my goddaughter like that?”

Jiang Yichun showed an expression of pain; that pain certainly wasn’t caused by Gao Zhou’s kick, but the pain of controlling his thoughts, controlling his feelings for Bai Ruozhu.

He couldn’t get close to her, scared she might see him out of control.

”How was your journey?” He asked coldly.

”Not good!” Bai Ruozhu said sulkily, ”That Mo Beishan’s woman suddenly appeared, slashed at everyone, injured Muxin and Zebo, how could I be alright?”

Jiang Yichun’s anger flared immediately, ”Where is that Mo Beishan? I will kill him!”

As he spoke, his ferocity was evident, Bai Ruozhu was startled, regretted her words, and quickly said, ”I already taught them a lesson, you don’t need to act.”

Tang Yin, next to them, said in a deep voice, ”Yichun, calm yourself.”

Jiang Yichun took several deep breaths to finally calm down a bit.

”Lady Bai, I have ordered someone to check on Yichun, he needs to temporarily abstain from emotions and desires, have calming incense nearby, so he should stay in the Palace for now, I will keep an eye on him for you.” Tang Yin said.

Bai Ruozhu sniffed, there really was the scent of incense on Achun, a specially made Calming Incense.

She looked towards Jiang Yichun, who nodded at her; seems it was his intention.

”Understood, Your Majesty,” she said, her voice caught in her throat, but for now, this was all she could do.

If Achun returned home, his evil energy could flare at any moment, harming family members, especially Little Dengdeng.

Little Dengdeng was closest to his father, surely wanting to hug and cling to him, but too young to bear Achun’s evil energy, likely falling ill upon contact, leaving Achun staying at the Guest Palace the only option.

”Girl, don’t worry, I will also look after him.” Gao Zhou said.

Bai Ruozhu bowed to Gao Zhou, ”Thank you for the hard work, godfather.”

Tang Yin laughed, ”Didn’t you take Meng Liangshen as your godfather too? Now another one, is it possible to have multiple masters and find more godfathers everywhere?”

Gao Zhou’s beard bristled, ”I just find her agreeable, insist on making her my goddaughter, if Meng Liangshen is displeased, I’ll sort it out with him myself.”

Bai Ruozhu twitched her lips, just because Gao Zhou couldn’t accept Jiang Yichun as a godson, he implicated her, making it difficult for her.

”I’m old and without children, while Meng Liangshen already has several, why must he argue with me?” Gao Zhou continued unceremoniously.

Mentioning Meng Liangshen’s children, Tang Yin’s expression grew somber, speaking after a moment, ”Half a month ago, King Rui held a coronation for the queen, his chosen queen was the legitimate daughter of the Meng Family, Meng Jinse.”

”How did Jinse end up?” Bai Ruozhu asked anxiously, realizing such significant events had occurred while she was away with the Barbarian Clan.

”Spies reported that Meng Jinse attempted to assassinate King Rui in the bridal chamber but was crippled by him, imprisoned in Yong’an Palace, now just a figurehead to humiliate the Meng Family,” Tang Yin said through gritted teeth.

”Jinse...” Bai Ruozhu softly murmured the girl’s name, recalling her expressions and manners. Back when Wang Miaoshuang constantly stirred trouble, it was this girl who knew right from wrong and chose to befriend her.

Later, Wang Miaoshuang died, things changed, and a rift formed between them. But upon a reunion in the Capital City, the girl was more serene and beautiful. She always believed Jinse could marry well, fostering a family, living a happy life.

But now she was crippled by King Rui, imprisoned in the cold depths of the Palace, unable to even choose death.
