Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1870: Chapter 1860: Just Nervous, Not Repulsed

Huang Li was startled, then quickly bowed again and said, ”Lord Bai, let’s not beat around the bush. What will it take for you to save our young lady?”

”I can’t save her. You should ask the injured lady officer for help. If she weren’t lucky, she would have been killed by your young lady. Your young lady is so ruthless at such a young age. No wonder the gods of the Holy Hall are punishing her,” Bai Ruozhu said bluntly.

”You!” Huang Li glared in anger, ”Lord Bai, our Patriarch only has one daughter, and he treasures her immensely. You must think this through.”

”Think what through? Is Steward Huang threatening me?” Bai Ruozhu narrowed her eyes, already carrying a hint of killing intent. The killing aura from Jianqi behind her also emanated, making Huang Li take another look, revealing a bit of surprise.

He probably didn’t expect a woman to have such an expert protecting her, did he?

”Uncle Huang Li, don’t get angry. Maybe it’s truly unrelated to Lady Jiang. Huang Rou suddenly rushed out and hacked someone, then fainted. I suspect she was manipulated beforehand,” Mo Beishan advised from the side.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at him. Was he helping to deceive Huang Li? Could it be a change of heart?

”Even if it’s unrelated to Lord Bai, I’ve heard that Lord Bai is a Divine Doctor. Can’t you examine our young lady?” Huang Li took a step back and said.

”I already examined her on the road before, and I couldn’t do anything. Otherwise, how could I ignore her?” She wasn’t afraid of being found out, as few could cure the poison of the little Furball.

”This...” Huang Li was a bit embarrassed. In fact, he had already consulted others before coming here, with no way to cure the poison. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come knocking.

Bai Ruozhu raised her teacup, making a gesture of seeing him out, ”Steward Huang, please seek other famous doctors for Miss Huang. I have other matters and won’t accompany you.”

Huang Li reluctantly bowed and took his leave, while Mo Beishan gave Bai Ruozhu a flattering smile, then also left.

Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes at him. This person harmed Achun, implicated the innocent Muxin, and even got Zebo injured internally by Huang Rou. No way she would give him a good face.

Moreover, he never intended to stop Yingtong from snatching the marriage. He must have been eyeing the Evil Energy on Jiang Yichun from the start.

When Bai Ruozhu left the Main Hall, Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu rushed over. Jiao Ling said with a face full of reproach, ”The Huang Family people came. Why didn’t you call me along? You were in danger by yourself.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled, taking Jiao Ling’s hand and said, ”Aunt, don’t worry. They needed to follow etiquette first and wouldn’t cause trouble. Besides, Jianqi and the others were there to protect me. You and Uncle have done a lot. How could I let you handle everything?”

Jiao Ling poked her head with her finger, ”You child! And you’re being polite with us? Coming over wouldn’t be much trouble.”

Fen Jiu, particularly fond of Bai Ruozhu calling him uncle, said in a good mood, ”We’re one family, don’t be a stranger.”

Bai Ruozhu secretly laughed, realizing that Uncle Fen Jiu is eager to cling to the ”family” title to get even closer to Aunt.

The next day, Bai Ruozhu went out to the new brides’ School to have a look. During her absence, Madam Xin managed things well. Tian Fang occasionally taught medical classes, and some signed up to learn every now and then. Now each project has enough for a class, though Madam Xin’s class had the most registrants.

Bai Ruozhu chatted a bit more with Madam Xin and gave her some pointers before taking her leave.

”Let’s go to Ji Ziyan’s place and have a look,” Bai Ruozhu said to Jianqi.

The horse carriage quickly arrived at the place where Ji Ziyan lived. After knocking, only the little attendant sent by Bai Ruozhu and the old servant were inside. The attendant handed Bai Ruozhu a letter.

”Miss, without your instructions, I didn’t dare to leave. Mr. Ji went missing the night before last, and I found this letter on his bed,” the attendant handed the letter to Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t hurry to read it but instead looked at the old servant and asked, ”Ji Ziyan gave you this place and a sum of money to spend your old age peacefully?”

The old servant looked at Bai Ruozhu in surprise, ”How do you know?” He asked and then looked at the attendant, suspecting he eavesdropped on his conversation with Ji Ziyan.

The attendant gazed back at him, equally surprised, ”Didn’t you say you didn’t know where Mr. Ji went? So you lied to me.”

Bai Ruozhu raised her hand to stop their argument, ”Knowing Ji Ziyan’s character, he would do such a thing.”

The old servant nodded, tears welling in his eyes, ”My young master values relationships deeply. He never changed his feelings for the young lady. If he weren’t worried about me not being able to withstand it, he would have taken me with him.”

”Did he tell you where he was going?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

The old servant shook his head, ”He didn’t say, and I didn’t ask.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded. The old servant was indeed a simple man.

She gave the old servant some extra money, instructing him to live well and to contact the Bai Family if he ever needed assistance.

Bai Ruozhu also rewarded the attendant, cautioning him to keep his lips sealed about anything related to Ji Ziyan.

The attendant repeatedly promised to keep silent, swearing that otherwise his tongue would fall off.

Only then was Bai Ruozhu reassured and arranged for him to work at the new brides’ School.

On the way back, she couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional. In the end, Ji Ziyan left with Zhou Jue. She just didn’t know if it was voluntary or if Zhou Jue forced him. Zhou Jue was someone who would go to any lengths for what he wanted, even if it meant Ji Ziyan would hate him. He believed he could eventually change Ji Ziyan’s mind.

Perhaps this was the legendary mindset of those domineering CEOs, but Bai Ruozhu couldn’t agree with it.

...

A group of people escorted an inconspicuous horse carriage heading south. Inside the carriage, a somewhat pale man’s leaning back glanced at the book he was reading, while another enchanting man moved closer.

The man reading the book cast an annoyed glance at him, supporting himself with his hand and shifted to the side, though his legs were unmovable, forcing him to adjust his legs manually, one by one.

”Why are you avoiding me? I’m not going to eat you,” Zhou Jue suddenly leaned inwards, his dangerous aura enveloping the evading Ji Ziyan.

”Please show some respect,” Ji Ziyan said coldly.

Zhou Jue stared at him, face coming increasingly closer. The warm breath reached Ji Ziyan’s face. Ji Ziyan felt a bit nervous as he tried to move away, but found his legs unwilling to cooperate.

As Zhou Jue’s lips neared his, he instinctively closed his eyes, feeling a warmth brushing over, like a butterfly’s wings lightly touching. His breathing quickened.

But in the next second, that feeling disappeared. Zhou Jue moved away, placing his hands on Ji Ziyan’s thighs.

”W-What are you doing?” His tongue twisted with nervousness.

Zhou Jue gave him a wicked smile, ”What are you thinking? Your legs need a daily massage, unless you want someone else to do it?”

Ji Ziyan’s face reddened as Zhou Jue lowered his head to smirk, realizing Ji Ziyan was merely nervous but not averse. Which meant that perhaps...
