Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2067: Chapter 2065: Mission Accomplished

Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu were also worried, so they accompanied Bai Ruozhu to the home of the Tenth Elder.

The Tenth Elder didn’t expect the Third Elder, who was obsessed with martial arts, to come. He couldn’t help but show a look of surprise. After a few pleasantries, he finally knew that the Third Elder had come for Bai Ruozhu.

”Where did you get cursed? Such a vicious curse still exists; casting it must have come at a significant cost. The one who cast it may have jeopardized their own life.” The Tenth Elder examined Bai Ruozhu’s condition and exclaimed.

”How serious is it? Is it not possible to lift the curse?” Jiao Ling asked worriedly.

The Tenth Elder shook his head, ”The curse isn’t serious at first, so ordinary people might not notice. But in the end, the cursed person turns into a madman. They won’t die, but they will live in constant pain and fear. I call it vicious because it’s difficult to break.”

He looked at Bai Ruozhu’s calm demeanor, showing some admiration, yet he sighed regretfully.

”The fear in your heart will be infinitely magnified; a little worry might seem real to you, torturing your nerves to the point where you can’t even sleep.”

”Who exactly cursed Ruozhu? Tenth Elder, can you find out?” Jiao Ling asked angrily.

”Forgive my lack of skill. I can’t discern any clues, but it seems the curse isn’t recent.” The Tenth Elder said somewhat ashamed.

Bai Ruozhu wasn’t too disappointed. Even someone as skilled as Feng Cheng said he couldn’t tell, so it was normal that the Tenth Elder couldn’t be certain either.

”I will ask around and see if any other experts can break the curse.” The Tenth Elder said, glancing at Bai Ruozhu. ”Although the curse can’t be lifted for now, you can control its worsening.”

”What method is there?” The Third Elder urgently asked. He truly cared about the younger generation of his family.

”Use some medicinal materials, such as those that calm the mind and boost vitality, to ensure she doesn’t become lethargic from the curse.” The Tenth Elder said.

Bai Ruozhu’s eyelid twitched. Boost vitality medicine? She had it, but why this kind of medicine?

She couldn’t help but think of when Feng Cheng asked her for the red pill. Could he be cursed too?

”Alright, I will look for the medicinal materials right away.” The Third Elder hurriedly left, and Bai Ruozhu and the others thanked the Tenth Elder and returned home.

At home, Jiao Ling hid and secretly wiped her tears. Fen Jiu said, feeling distressed, ”Let’s find more medicinal materials for Ruozhu. It’s not impossible to break the curse, the medical sage knows an expert, doesn’t he?”

”Do you think our family might be cursed? Why are the children all so unfortunate? Could it be the work of that Gufeng?” Jiao Ling asked agitatedly.

Fen Jiu quickly gestured for silence and whispered, ”Do you want Lanlan to hear and worry? And your sister-in-law just gave birth not long ago, it’s better not to let her know.”

Jiao Ling tried to calm herself, wiped her eyes, and said, ”If I find out who did this, I will definitely not let them go!”

”Don’t worry, I’ll help you deal with that person, peel their skin, and draw out their tendons!” Fen Jiu said through gritted teeth.

In another room, Lanlan said to the cold-looking Chen Feng, ”Brother Chen Feng, since neither of us can go out to play, how about we play chess together?”

Chen Feng felt he should avoid Lanlan. He wanted to say he was busy, but what could he be busy with now?

He wanted to say he was going to sleep, but it wasn’t even noon yet, and he had just gotten up.

Besides, facing Lanlan’s bright smile, he couldn’t say anything.

”Did you notice that my parents were acting odd today? They went out with Sister Ruozhu and came back looking worried,” Lanlan suddenly said.

Chen Feng was stunned; it seemed Madam was hiding something from everyone.

”They have their reasons for not saying anything, so don’t ask anymore,” Chen Feng said.

Lanlan smiled at him, ”Okay, I’ll listen to you! Brother Chen Feng, play with me.”

In the end, Chen Feng couldn’t refuse Lanlan and played several rounds of chess with her until she left for lunch.

Even though he lived in the Diaojiao Building, he didn’t eat with Bai Ruozhu’s family. He only said that he felt uneasy around too many people, so Bai Ruozhu didn’t insist and had Nanny Zhang deliver his meals regularly.

Today, Nanny Zhang delivered the food as usual. As she pushed the door open, Chen Feng furrowed his brows, sniffed, and glanced towards Bai Ruozhu’s room.

”Chen Feng, are you really not coming down?” Nanny Zhang asked a bit sympathetically.

Chen Feng shook his head, ”I’m afraid I’ll lose control and hurt someone. Nanny, you go ahead.”

Nanny Zhang sighed softly and turned to leave the room. She didn’t close the door, and Chen Feng walked to the doorway, looking at Bai Ruozhu’s door not far away, his brows furrowing even deeper.

In the room at that moment, Feng Cheng handed a letter to Bai Ruozhu, ”I accomplished the mission successfully.”

Bai Ruozhu realized it was a letter from Jiang Yichun and opened it excitedly, not caring about the others around.

The letter was sent half a month ago, saying he was well, and so was Gao Deng. They didn’t directly refer to Gao Deng as ”father” in the letter, fearing the contents might be leaked.

He also said he met Jian Zhen in the military camp, someone they encountered during a sandstorm, and arranged a job for him nearby, planning to look after him.

The letter said everything was fine, and he missed her and their sons.

Seeing the words ”our sons,” Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but smile bitterly. To care for her emotions, he hadn’t mentioned ”our sons” for a long time. Once, he accidentally said it, and she playfully pinched him, demanding she wanted a daughter.

”I heard if the woman is smart, a couple would easily have sons. If the man is smart, they’d easily have daughters. It’s all because you’re too stupid!” At that time, Bai Ruozhu poked his chest grumblingly.

Jiang Yichun wasn’t angry, laughed, and said, ”Alright, I’ll learn to be smarter, okay? Being able to marry such a smart wife means I’m not stupid either, doesn’t it?”

At that moment, Bai Ruozhu felt much better and reached out to twist the red plum on his chest, ”You’re so sweet-tongued now. When I’m not around, you better not talk like this to another girl.”

”I won’t talk to any other women at all, rest assured,” the tenderness in his eyes could melt Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu was lost in thought. Feng Cheng, next to her, was also watching her blank out. Just reading the letter and she looked so blissfully happy. Was her husband really that wonderful?

Feng Cheng suddenly found it amusing that couples, like birds of the same forest, often went their separate ways in times of disaster. He had seen it happen so many times.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt frustrated and left without saying goodbye to Bai Ruozhu, disappearing in a flash to his frequently visited Peach Forest.

The wind, carrying petals, blew into the room through the open window, and Bai Ruozhu came back to her senses, realizing Feng Cheng was gone. She felt a bit embarrassed, as she hadn’t thanked him yet.
