Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2215: Chapter 2214: Tutu Takes Action

Bai Ruozhu and the others immediately became alert, but fortunately, someone quickly picked up firewood and started a fire, and they realized they were stopping to have lunch.

They had hidden for several days in a concealed place, observing the situation on the other side. Just as everyone was about to lose their nerve, the leader walked toward the horse carriage with respect to welcome someone down.

This horse carriage was originally occupied by Zhou Shixuan. Now that Zhou Shixuan had been captured, who else could be in the carriage? Could it be Zhou Shibin, whom they had just rescued?

As long as Bai Zepei did not kill Zhou Shibin, Zhou Shixuan would not let his subordinates act recklessly. The more people there are, the more gossip there will be, and news would eventually spread. If his father found out about brotherly conflict, he would surely punish him severely.

The Wang Residence has more than just these two sons. If Zhou Shixuan fell out of favor with his father, his younger brothers would all have the opportunity to climb up.

But it was not Zhou Shibin who got out of the carriage; it was a woman!

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes widened because that woman was none other than Fo Lanying!

She was completely unconscious. Judging by the leader’s demeanor, he showed extra respect towards Fo Lanying. Could it be that Fo Lanying had long known Zhou Shixuan?

If she had pretended to approach Si Yihuan, what was her motive? She could have handed Si Yihuan over during the trap incident. With Si Yihuan as a hostage, wouldn’t Zhou Shixuan’s people be willing to exchange their heir?

Could it be that she planned to fish for bigger catch, making Si Yihuan grateful to her, then leading Bai Ruozhu and the others to rescue her, intending to trap them all at once?

At this moment, Si Yihuan also noticed it was Fo Lanying. Although she wasn’t as sharp-sighted as Bai Ruozhu, she remembered what Fo Lanying was wearing, and despite the rush, Fo Lanying still wore the same clothes from their parting.

”How...how is this possible?” Si Yihuan muttered to herself, somewhat lost. She had the same thought as Bai Ruozhu. Otherwise, why would Zhou Shixuan’s subordinates treat Fo Lanying well and be so respectful towards her?

”Don’t panic just yet. It’s probably not what we fear; otherwise, they would have taken precautions to prevent us from witnessing the act,” Bai Zepei reminded.

Bai Ruozhu looked at her second brother with a hint of admiration. He truly lives up to being someone who has passed through the Enlightenment Tablet. His wisdom and analysis are indeed a cut above, with just one sentence pinning down the core of the problem.

Fo Lanying’s foot was still wrapped in bandages, making it difficult for her to walk. The leader attempted to assist her, but she slapped his hand away.

At this moment, Fo Lanying seemed a bit restless. She had feared that the others would torture her or force a confession through pain, but unexpectedly, they didn’t do so and had recognized her identity. But she was very displeased. She had nothing to do with the Quanrong Clan and didn’t want to be called a princess by that person.

However, she dared not anger the expert before her, only hoping that Si Yihuan would quickly bring rescue to help her stay away from anything related to the Quanrong Clan.

”The expert beside Zhou Shixuan likely has ties with the Quanrong Clan. Remember Fo Lanying’s background,” Bai Ruozhu whispered.

Everyone nodded in agreement, sensing it was indeed the case.

Jiang Yichun remained silent, refraining from expressing any opinion, as he needed to avoid suspicion!

How did he end up so unlucky, choosing a villainous woman for a charade, aiming for Ruozhu to be disappointed in him so that he could resolve to forget her? But how did the villain’s role flip, entangling himself further? The situation was really awkward.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at him with his stiff expression and quickly understood the reason. She had almost forgotten, but now she felt a bit displeased again.

”Someone once said Fo Lanying was tired the previous night and said she worked hard. Are you feeling sorry for her now?” Bai Ruozhu murmured to herself, her voice low but clear enough for everyone to hear.

Feng Cheng couldn’t help but laugh because he had been present at that time. Of course, having followed them along the way, he understood why Jiang Yichun was putting on this charade.

Originally, he had affections for Bai Ruozhu, but she always thought of her husband, yet her husband betrayed her—Feng Cheng felt both heartache and a trace of happiness, thinking he should be the one to take care of Ruozhu in the future.

However, after knowing the truth, he no longer dared to have extravagant hopes. Bai Ruozhu had no feelings for him, and her husband deeply loved her. What’s important is that they truly loved each other mutually.

He was just a latecomer...

After laughing, Feng Cheng felt a bitter taste in his heart and slowly put away his smile.

”I...” Jiang Yichun felt a deep bitterness too, but his bitterness carried a hint of sweetness.

His wife was jealous; wasn’t that because she cared for him? But why did he dig such a big hole for himself; he brought this upon himself!

Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrow at him, ”You don’t need to explain. Don’t disrupt my observation.”

The tone was clearly one of anger!

Jiang Yichun felt restless, uncertain how to explain since he indeed did it intentionally. Moreover, he couldn’t say much in this situation, with many pairs of eyes on him.

And that included a love rival...

Bai Ruozhu turned her head back, no longer mentioning the matter, and continued to observe the distant situation. After a while, she said, ”There are too many people; rescuing is not easy. Besides, the distance is great, and I can’t easily use poison.”

”I’ll go,” Feng Cheng suggested.

”No way!” Bai Ruozhu immediately refused, ”You must avoid using your inner strength if possible; your curse grows heavier, and you can’t afford the toll.”

”Didn’t you agree that once I’ve helped you this time, I’ll go back?” Feng Cheng said softly.

Bai Ruozhu turned her face away, ”Then you just handle defending or countering that expert from behind. The minor tasks in the front don’t require you to use your inner strength.”

Feng Cheng listened, knowing he shouldn’t insist as he understood her stubbornness.

Suddenly, a metallic taste welled up in his throat. He tightly bit his lip, resisting the urge to cough up blood.

He dared not open his mouth again, afraid Bai Ruozhu would smell the blood. In the end, he swallowed it back down with gritted teeth.

After some time, Bai Ruozhu suddenly came up with a plan. She somehow pulled out a pitch-black rabbit.

”You’ll sneak over and place the sleeping powder, but be careful. If they discover you, you might end up as their lunch,” Bai Ruozhu spoke to Tutu.

The little black rabbit suddenly stood up like a little person and nodded at Bai Ruozhu, looking incredibly adorable.

Si Yihuan was stunned with her mouth agape. She wanted to ask if Ruozhu could really communicate with rabbits. But the rabbit’s reaction clearly indicated it understood.

Oh my gosh, what kinds of companions does Ruozhu have? They’re all so impressive.

The little black rabbit lay back down like a wild hare and darted out, sneaking through the grass as it slowly approached the front team.

”Isn’t that Dengdeng’s pet?” Jiang Yichun couldn’t help asking.

”More than just a pet, it’s also Dengdeng’s babysitter; don’t be fooled by its clumsy look—it’s quite capable,” Bai Ruozhu commented without turning back.

Does everyone think rabbits move slowly with hops? In fact, they can be quite fast. Mouka once raised a black rabbit. One time, while letting it roam downstairs, it broke free from its leash—they really aren’t suited for leashes—and in a second, it sprinted away. I thought some feline spirit had possessed it. It curled beneath a car chassis and wouldn’t come out. I spent almost an hour with brooms and help, trying to catch it...
