Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1902: Chapter 1892: Suicide by Drowning

Jiao Ling came to visit Bai Ruozhu the next day. She was in much better spirits and looked calm and composed.

”Ruozhu, are you feeling tired?” Jiao Ling asked with concern.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head with a smile, ”No, I just stood for a while, it’s nothing.”

She wanted to share her suspicions about the Fen Gu with Jiao Ling but held back, fearing it might again disturb Jiao Ling. Swallowing her words, she thought it best to bring it up later, especially since these were just her suppositions and not conclusive evidence.

”Fen Jiu and I are planning to return to the Jiuli Clan soon.” Jiao Ling suddenly said.

Bai Ruozhu was taken aback, ”Aunt, didn’t we agree to return home together after my mother completes her confinement?”

”That was the plan, but now that I know about Wei Yu, I feel uneasy and want to discuss the situation with the clan chief and the elders in Jiuli first.” Jiao Ling explained, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes, ”Wei Yu nearly faced execution by the clan back then, his resentment towards the Jiuli Clan runs deep, and he swore to take revenge one day. While I doubt he could destabilize the entire Jiuli alone, we can’t overlook the threat of his poisonous insects. I’m afraid he might target the young clan members training outside, picking them off one by one.”

”Besides, since he left the Jiuli, we cannot stay idle if he causes chaos in the world. If he doesn’t come to us, it is us who should eliminate the threat.” Fen Jiu added from the side.

Bai Ruozhu recognized the gravity of the situation. Although reluctant, she nodded in agreement.

Jiao Ling looked apologetic, ”There’s something else I need your permission for. I’m worried Wei Yu might discover the location of the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, so we want to take Wu Wanqing to Jiuli. Also, we hope the clan might have a way to help your cousin.”

”Will it be dangerous for just the two of you to take her?” Bai Ruozhu was a bit anxious, worried that the Jiuli might kill Wu Wanqing directly, which would mean Na Ruolan would truly have no chance left.

”We’ll be cautious and signal for clan members to assist us along the way.” Jiao Ling said, holding Bai Ruozhu’s hand, ”Ruozhu, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone kill her easily. No matter what happens, whether she lives or dies should be your decision.”

”Thank you, Aunt.” Bai Ruozhu said gratefully.

Subsequently, Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu visited Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er to share their plan, and two days later, they departed Beiyu City with Bai Ruolan.

”Rest assured, I saw two Jiuli people escorting them, and Uncle said more would join on the way, it’s alright.” Jiang Yichun said to Bai Ruozhu as he returned from seeing them off at the city gates.

Bai Ruozhu heaved a sigh of relief, ”That’s good.”

The days quickly passed. Besides work, Jiang Yichun spent time with Bai Ruozhu, who was still in confinement, chatting and amusing two naive little babies. But the unfortunate Little Tiaotiao was still dressed in girl clothes and looked discontent every day.

The two little buns were healthy; they enjoyed lying down and waving their arms and legs. But Little Bengbeng was evidently more lively, as he often pulled off Tiaotiao’s accessories, like ribbons or Tiaotiao’s little hat, and tossed them aside.

”Mom, look, Bengbeng doesn’t like Tiaotiao wearing those, and he’s not happy about it.” Little Dengdeng grumbled beside her.

Bai Ruozhu shot a stern glance at her eldest son and said, ”Clearly he likes them too and wants to take them away himself. Tonight, after his bath, dress him in a little floral skirt.”

With that, Little Dengdeng burst into tears, ”I don’t want that! I want my brother, I want my brother!”

As he wailed, the other two joined in, all bursting out with loud cries. Bai Ruozhu felt as if her head would explode and had to concede, ”Alright, stop crying, we won’t dress him in that.”

Little Dengdeng finally stopped crying, and Little Bengbeng, who seemed extremely close to his brother, also stopped when his brother did.

Meanwhile, Little Tiaotiao cried a few times before falling asleep, even letting out a loud fart.

Seeing Chenxi, who was cradled by her sister-in-law, Bai Ruozhu felt a pang of envy, seeing how sweetly Little Chenxi cried, like a little kitten, thinking daughters are surely better.

Amidst the cries and commotion of the three children, Bai Ruozhu’s confinement finally ended. She indulged in a long, hot bath and changed into vibrant clothes to attend the children’s full-moon banquet.

The full-moon banquet for the two little buns was modestly arranged, inviting only a few relatives and close friends. As soon as Bai Ruozhu appeared, Yingtong rushed up to her, staring in surprise, ”Wow, Ruozhu, how did you recover so well during confinement? You’ve slimmed down so much! You were as round as a ball before.”

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched; what did she mean by being as round as a ball? It was clearly just her belly that was big, plus swelling, just swelling!

Princess Yingtong was poor with words, Bai Ruozhu thought angrily.

”I wasn’t fat; I was swollen, so I slimmed down quickly after giving birth. And there’s another secret...” She leaned in and whispered to Yingtong, ”Breastfeed the baby yourself.”

Yingtong patted her belly, thoughtfully saying, ”Okay, I’ll remember that.”

Her belly wasn’t showing much yet, and in another half month, she was to marry Chu Hai.

Soon more guests arrived. Among the older ones, everyone gathered around to admire the two buns, praising Bai Ruozhu for being amazing, giving birth to three boys. Hearing this, Bai Ruozhu felt a surge of indignation. Ancient people couldn’t understand her feelings.

The younger female guests surrounded Bai Ruozhu, asking her all sorts of questions, quickly diverting her attention and erasing any regret about not having a daughter.

Just then, a servant hurriedly approached Bai Zehao, whispering something in his ear, causing his face to change as he quickly followed the servant outside.

Not far away, Bai Ruozhu watched everything unfold and felt her heart sink. Something must have happened; otherwise, her brother wouldn’t leave at such a time.

She wanted to go and inquire but saw her sister-in-law approach, whispering to her, ”I’ll go take a look. If there’s anything, I’ll have the servants report back to you.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded, thanking Wan Caiyue.

At this moment, a crowd gathered at the Bai Residence Gate, with two people carrying a soaked man, loudly calling at the gate, ”Doesn’t the Bai Family have a Divine Doctor? How can they not save a life?”

Another person shouted, ”Yes, my master is the Jiang family’s son-in-law, and the Jiang family members are all at the Bai Family’s gathering. No one dared to take charge, so we had to bring him here to ask Old Master Jiang to save him. Just as well the Bai Family has a Divine Doctor, please save my master quickly!”

Bai Zehao now emerged from the main gate, recognizing the unconscious man on the stretcher as Kong Xunwu!

Kong Xunwu’s attempt at river suicide was one thing, but picking this day, did he really think the Bai Family was easy to bully?

One person carrying Kong Xunwu was his servant, and the other had no relation, only a kind-hearted person helping to save a life. Yet, this kind-hearted person, without knowing right from wrong, had believed the servant’s words and started shouting to help...
