Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2237: Chapter 2236: None of Them Are Good People

Talking about this, Jiang Yichun’s heart ached again; he had brought ruin upon Ruozhu.

”Don’t dwell on it too much, I’ve found the reason.” Bai Ruozhu was somewhat excited. ”Think carefully, did you ever get your blood on this tree when you were here before?”

She was referring to the black Curse Tree.

Jiang Yichun was a bit dazed, and after a long pause, his expression suddenly changed, ”I remember once I flicked blood away, it might have got on that tree, back then the evil energy in me wasn’t purged yet.”

Why did he remember it so clearly? Because he was wearing specially tailored armor at that time, and due to someone else, he had a nosebleed.

”It’s your blood that turned it into a Curse Tree, and that’s why I got infected by the curse. It means your blood is the main problem. If you had been more careful, not letting me and the child get your blood on us, we wouldn’t have any issues!” Bai Ruozhu was a bit agitated, having received this news, Achun wouldn’t be so despondent, and wouldn’t be afraid to even touch her anymore?

Jiang Yichun showed a look of surprise, but soon his face stiffened, ”Not entirely sure there aren’t other influences, I dare not gamble with your and the child’s safety.”

”But...” Bai Ruozhu wanted to say more, but ultimately kept quiet, knowing the key was to help him lift the curse within his bloodline, otherwise he would still face death.

”I was too careless back then, now the hot spring has turned into black water, it’s entirely because of me that you were dragged into this.” Jiang Yichun said painfully.

Bai Ruozhu lovingly hugged his neck, ”You know? Back when we met that monster in the Jiuli Clan, anyone touched by its black qi turned to nothingness, not even bone fragments were left, except for the Curse Tree absorbing that black qi, I might have ended up as a meal for the monster’s belly. Achun, you saved me.”

Jiang Yichun knew about this, just back then, the two of them didn’t think in this direction. Hearing her words now, he felt somewhat relieved, perhaps inadvertently he had helped his woman.

”And you don’t need to worry about the hot spring either, it has purifying properties, it should restore soon, otherwise, how could your son clean off his brothers’ poop pebbles and still enjoy himself in it?” Bai Ruozhu bit her teeth as she spoke.

Jiang Yichun couldn’t help but laugh, Little Dengdeng didn’t know what he was thinking, but managed to drive his mother mad.

With his wife still in his arms, he couldn’t bear to let her go and kissed her vermilion lips. Bai Ruozhu hooked her arms around his neck, aware of his concerns, but deciding to push them aside, just wanting to be together, not wasting a single moment.

Under the cover of the forest, the two embraced under the open sky, letting each other become a part of their own body...

The next day, Xiu Shao and his team proposed to continue observing around the Fire-Thunder Formation. Bai Ruozhu insisted on going this time; she wasn’t a helpless ordinary woman who should stay hidden in an inn all the time.

Jiang Yichun couldn’t control his emotions last night, leaving his wife completely satisfied, now regretting and fearing he had aggravated Ruozhu’s curse, feeling guilty towards his wife, so he couldn’t bear to refute whatever Bai Ruozhu said.

So, Gao Zhou rested while Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun accompanied Xiu Shao and them, along with five Jiuli Clan members, Bi Tao among them.

Upon arriving, Bai Ruozhu recognized someone from afar, pausing slightly, signaling everyone to hide.

Indeed, it was You Meng whom Bai Ruozhu had previously battled.

She used gestures to inform the others that You Meng was ahead, and everyone’s expression turned serious. Unable to ascertain You Meng’s true strength, and fearing alarmed conversation would alert him, she chose to remain hidden with everyone, keeping silent.

Being so far away, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t see the color of You Meng’s complexion, and didn’t know if his wounds had fully healed.

Previously, the old man and woman Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu saw were standing before You Meng, showing great respect and listening attentively to his arrangements.

Bai Ruozhu held her breath, listening carefully for a while, but unfortunately, it was too distant, she couldn’t hear anything.

After a while, the old man and woman bowed to leave, You Meng stood with his hands behind his back, looking around the Fire-Thunder Formation, appearing very pleased.

A delicate figure walked over, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but widen her eyes; wasn’t that Fo Lanying?

The woman walked with a slight limp, indicating her leg injury hadn’t fully recovered, just like Fo Lanying?

Jiang Yichun also spotted Fo Lanying, looking towards Bai Ruozhu wanting her opinion. Bai Ruozhu bit her lips tightly, also uncertain now.

Previously she was with Zhou Shixuan’s people who treated her with extraordinary respect and courtesy, claiming it’s because they recognized her, but why was she now with You Meng? Surely it couldn’t be such a coincidence?

Moreover, You Meng was her biological father, it was reasonable for her to seek him out. But had she deceived them?

What was her intention? Did she gain anything by being around them?

Bai Ruozhu shook her head, Fo Lanying was the second sister-in-law she encountered by chance, helping her greatly. Otherwise, Si Yihuan might have been captured by Zhou Shixuan’s people. And along the way, she gained nothing; Bai Ruozhu only gave her some injury medicine.

Though Bai Ruozhu felt uncomfortable, as again she saw You Meng reach out to rub Fo Lanying’s head. Even though the sight wasn’t clear, it could still be seen Fo Lanying smiling at You Meng, looking very obedient.

”It’s Fo Lanying.” Bi Tao tugged Bai Ruozhu’s sleeve, mouth-motioning, Bai Ruozhu looked at Xiu Shao’s team; sure enough, everyone recognized Fo Lanying.

She vaguely felt Fo Lanying doing this had her own reasons but helped prove nothing at this moment, unable to voice support for Fo Lanying.

She appreciated Fo Lanying’s assistance with her second sister-in-law and treated her as a friend, but since the acquaintance time was short, she didn’t truly understand her.

In the distance, You Meng said something, making Fo Lanying laugh, her laughter drifted towards Bai Ruozhu on the wind, making her especially uneasy.

You Meng pointed in several directions, seemingly explaining something related to the Fire-Thunder Formation.

After a while, You Meng supported Fo Lanying out of sight; they seemed to head to their camp to rest.

The group breathed a sigh of relief, some even slumped to the ground.

”Fo Lanying is the Quanrong Clan Leader’s biological daughter, Du Fei herself admitted. Now she’s attached to her biological father, likely revealing many Jiuli secrets to the Quanrong people.” Someone angrily said.

”Du Fei betrayed the clan and hooked up with the Quanrong Clan Leader; she must’ve spilled Jiuli secrets ages ago; Fo Lanying going there wouldn’t reveal much new.” Bai Ruozhu felt blocked, couldn’t help but explain for Fo Lanying.

”Du Fei, that traitor raised by the clan, did such a thing. Her mother and daughter are nothing decent!” The angry young man continued cursing.
