Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2206: Chapter 2204: Capture the King First to Catch the Bandits

Jiang Yichun laughed, ”I’m not making fun of him, just think about it, a man I consider a rival and who’s also quite powerful suddenly starts shouting that he wants to become a woman and give birth to a child. How am I supposed to hold it in?”

”But he wasn’t originally a man, you didn’t know that. His life is already quite pitiful. Just treat him as if he was originally a woman disguised as a man,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun patted her head, ”My wife truly has a kind heart. Alright, I won’t make fun of him anymore.”

The noise of arguments outside slowly subsided, and soon Ji Ziyan’s voice came from outside the room, ”Ruozhu, I have something to tell you.”

Well, everyone’s got something to say to her, she’s going to be so busy.

She still went out of the room and nodded to Ji Ziyan.

Ji Ziyan looked very determined as he said to her, ”Please don’t agree with Zhou Jue. I can’t agree with this; it’s too dangerous! I’ve always struggled with this hurdle in my heart, but now I’ve come to terms with it. I can’t let him risk his life just because of my little inner turmoil. I...”

Ji Ziyan blushed and, gathering his courage, said, ”I don’t want to lose him!”

In the distance, the sulking Zhou Jue’s expression changed instantly, showing surprise and ecstasy, his eyes turned red.

”Ziyan, you...” he murmured.

Bai Ruozhu sniffed, also moved by this. She nodded to Ji Ziyan and said, ”I also dared not agree with him. I’m a doctor, not a killer. The chance of success is so low; I don’t want to endanger anyone’s life. But have you thought, could not having children become a lifelong regret for you?”

Bai Ruozhu didn’t want to spoil the mood, but in her previous life, she had heard of too many such things, even having a friend who, after an illness in childhood, lost the ability to have children. Before marrying, she made it clear to her partner, who promised love and said it didn’t matter, they could adopt. But within three years, he still asked for a divorce.

The reason was his deep desire for his own children, not wanting his line to end. The truth was no longer important, but such things were really hurtful.

”I can adopt a child from the family line, and it will still be a member of our Ji Family,” Ji Ziyan said seriously, ”No matter when, I will not change my mind; I won’t leave him.”

Tears streamed down Zhou Jue’s face, his voice sour, ”If you dare change your heart, I’ll break your legs!”

Bai Ruozhu held back laughter; this was clearly a woman bantering with her man.

Finally reconciled, Gao Zhou came out to call everyone for dinner, and Zhou Jue smugly patted Gao Zhou on the shoulder, ”Cousin, you’re getting old, when are you going to find a woman?”

Gao Zhou kicked him, ”Get lost!”

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun’s faces turned green; this relationship really made their teeth itch with annoyance. Better to avoid Zhou Jue in the future!

As everyone sat for dinner, Zhou Jue’s attendant knelt outside. Bai Ruozhu then realized that this person, not wanting Zhou Jue to become a woman, had privately informed Ji Ziyan, which was why Ji Ziyan had arrived so quickly.

Bai Ruozhu pouted, Ji Ziyan was afraid for Zhou Jue’s safety, while his subordinates couldn’t accept their master becoming a woman. But what’s wrong with being a woman?

After dinner, Ji Ziyan and Zhou Jue planned to leave, deciding to leave some of their people to help until Bai Ruozhu departed from Qingniao City.

”Forget it, you helped me this time, and I can’t return the favor,” Bai Ruozhu waved her hand.

Ji Ziyan immediately said, ”No need to return any favor, we’re friends; helping you is our duty.”

He spoke so eagerly, clearly afraid Zhou Jue was still thinking about becoming a woman.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, ”Alright, thank you both then.”

Suddenly, Jiang Yichun’s face darkened, ”Not good, someone’s coming!”

Everyone instantly became tense, and Yizi quickly placed a talisman in a certain position. She had set up the defensive array on her first day here, but Bai Ruozhu, fearing suspicion, had asked her not to activate it unless there was danger.

The array activated, preventing anyone from entering for a short time. Bai Ruozhu leaped onto the roof to see the alley outside packed with government soldiers, surrounding the mansion completely.

Among the officers, one stood out noticeably: Zhou Shibin.

Bai Ruozhu jumped down, ”It’s that scoundrel Zhou Shibin. To capture the gang, you must capture the leader first. We need to find a way to grab him.”

There were several experts in the yard, and the array had a bewildering effect, leaving the outsiders confused—this was the perfect opportunity.

Additionally, Zhou Shibin’s overconfidence had him standing at the forefront rather than hiding behind his team, making it even easier for Bai Ruozhu to act.

”Foster father and Achun, cover me as I go grab him and bring him in,” Bai Ruozhu promptly decided.

Jiang Yichun, however, pulled her back, ”No! It’s too dangerous; I’ll go.”

Bai Ruozhu glared at him, ”Don’t underestimate me.”

With that, she shot out like a bullet. She was no longer the little woman who only knew poison and had little self-defense ability. She could not only protect herself and her family but also protect him, ensuring he wouldn’t leave them early.

Jiang Yichun and Gao Zhou hurriedly followed, Jiang Yichun sighing inwardly. His wife had improved while he seemed to regress—how could he allow that?

With the cover from Gao Deng and Jiang Yichun, and the help of the array, Bai Ruozhu quickly captured Zhou Shibin, hitting his acupoints and holding a dagger to his throat.

”Tell your people to withdraw, or I’ll kill you, you treacherous ally,” Bai Ruozhu sneered.

Zhou Shibin’s expression changed, ”How did you...”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his neck as Bai Ruozhu’s dagger sliced into it.

”Bai Ruozhu, be careful!” Zhou Shibin exclaimed.

”What do you mean be careful? You’re not listening; how can I be careful? Tell your people to withdraw, or if my hand slips in fear and I cut you, that wouldn’t be good,” Bai Ruozhu said with a sinister smile. ”Do you know how thin the blood vessels in the neck are? With how skinny you are, one slip and your artery might break, spraying blood everywhere and leaving no possibility of saving you.”

As Bai Ruozhu spoke, she suddenly struck below his neck with the back of the knife, nearly scaring Zhou Shibin into wetting his pants.

”Don’t act rashly, let’s talk this over,” Zhou Shibin said.

”Quickly, I don’t want to waste any more words!” Bai Ruozhu shouted sternly.

Now Zhou Shibin dared not delay, issuing a grudging order for his men to withdraw.

”Withdraw to outside the city. Once we safely leave, you’ll be free to go back,” Bai Ruozhu said, tapping the back of the knife against his neck again.
