Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2495: Chapter 2496: Have Faith in Me

Uh, fishtail...

Uh, after all, it’s not a human leg, or maybe a leg is also hidden away...

As for the specifics, she better not delve too deeply.

”Hmm, go to bed early, and see if you can change back tomorrow,” Bai Ruozhu said hastily.

She had just lied down when she suddenly sat up again.

”Jianqi!”

Bai Ruozhu quickly got out of bed and walked swiftly to the door. Jianqi was on duty tonight and came over upon hearing the commotion.

”Go quickly to find my foster father and Fo Lanying, and have them return immediately,” Bai Ruozhu whispered.

Jianqi didn’t ask why, answered with a nod, and left.

Bai Ruozhu returned to the room and sighed quietly.

”Are you worried She Zongyi noticed something?” Jiang Yichun asked.

”Yes, today he entered the yard, and he would know something is off with the number of people, not to mention he will surely pay special attention to Lan Ying,” Bai Ruozhu replied.

”You think things through thoroughly,” Jiang Yichun smiled and pulled the quilt again, but his expression had returned to normal.

The two were worried about Gao Zhou and Fo Lanying and couldn’t sleep, so they started chatting idly.

”What do you think Dengdeng and the others are doing now?” Bai Ruozhu missed her sons a bit.

Jiang Yichun smiled, ”Sleeping.”

Bai Ruozhu chuckled silently, realizing that kids this age should be asleep now.

”Maybe Little Bengbeng is stirring and won’t sleep; he’s quite naughty,” Bai Ruozhu said.

”Fortunately, Nanny Zhang is there to help, so the parents shouldn’t be too tired,” Jiang Yichun said, brushing her hair gently.

As they talked like this, they suddenly realized a long time had passed, and Jianqi and the others should have returned by now.

”They must have encountered trouble. I’ll have Tang Feng and Qiu Zhi go take a look,” Bai Ruozhu got up and went out.

She found Tang Feng and Qiu Zhi and explained the situation. Yuan Licheng was also awakened and nearly jumped up when he heard that something might be wrong with Fo Lanying; Bai Ruozhu thought about it and decided to let him go too.

”Teng Ya, Yizi, help move the Second Prince into my room,” Bai Ruozhu, unable to manage everything fully, decided to keep the Second Prince closer.

The Second Prince was quite thin now; before Yizi could help, Teng Ya picked him up herself, carrying him like a princess, the same posture Bai Ruozhu once used to carry Jiang Yichun. Bai Ruozhu almost laughed when she saw it. No wonder Jiang Yichun felt awkward; being carried like this was indeed quite comedic.

”I can walk on my own,” the Second Prince said, blushing.

”You walk too slowly; don’t waste our time,” Bai Ruozhu said, leading the way back to the room and explaining the situation to Jiang Yichun, then added an extra quilt to his legs.

Jiang Yichun instinctively moved his tail, the quilt rising slightly, which startled him, silently reminding himself not to let his tail move later.

Soon, Teng Ya brought the Second Prince inside. The room was spacious, and the Second Prince was placed on the couch on the other side, while Bai Ruozhu instructed Yizi to set up some arrays.

It took a while for the Second Prince to recover from his embarrassment. He then turned to Bai Ruozhu and asked, ”Were you the one who knocked me out today? Why?”

”When did I knock you out?” Bai Ruozhu knew the Second Prince would be suspicious since she had suddenly hit his sleep acupoint, and thinking about it afterward, he might figure it out, but what could she do? She could only deny it adamantly.

”Wasn’t it you who hit my sleep acupoint when the assassin came out of the secret passage?” the Second Prince asked.

”How could it be! You’re weak now, fainting is normal. Why would I hit your sleep acupoint for no reason? If I ended up in a fight with others, at least you’d be conscious to dodge something,” Bai Ruozhu said with a straight face.

The Second Prince felt uncertain, and finally, with an ”oh”, didn’t mention it again.

Jiang Yichun secretly exchanged a look with Bai Ruozhu. Rescuing someone sure was troublesome.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, the sound of hidden weapons hitting the yard.

”Assassins, everyone protect the people in the yard!” shouted a voice outside—Da Gu with a group of bodyguards patrolling nearby.

Bai Ruozhu squinted, ”Could it be they’ve split into two groups, attacking our men outside, trying to lure us away from the mountain?”

”Master, what should we do now?” Teng Ya was anxious.

Bai Ruozhu’s lips curled slightly, ”We have fewer people, a head-on clash won’t end well for us, but holding this place isn’t impossible, especially with Da Gu and the others helping outside.”

Saying that, Bai Ruozhu tossed a handful of drug powder out the window and released Furball and Xiaohei into the yard, instructing them to hide and act when needed.

This time, no one rushed into the yard, probably scared by Yuan Licheng’s arrays, so they first sent a bunch of hidden weapons in. Unfortunately, the arrays shielded them, and the hidden weapons couldn’t even reach their walls.

”At this point, why are they still stubbornly trying to kill the Second Prince?” Bai Ruozhu sneered, ”They’re not too smart, having missed their chance, they should give up and find a different approach now.”

The Second Prince gave a slight pull at his lips, ”Good thing you’re not my political enemies.”

Soon, sounds of fighting came from outside, it was Da Gu’s men clashing with the assassins. Bai Ruozhu stayed calm, as long as they weren’t near their room, she paid no attention.

After another 15 minutes passed, the sounds of battle outside diminished, followed by someone rushing in, shouting, ”Master, are you all alright?”

”Jianqi and the others are back!” Yizi exclaimed, she had been worried about Jianqi.

”We’re fine, is the outside settled?” Bai Ruozhu opened the door and asked loudly.

”All the assassins have been dealt with,” Jianqi replied.

Just then, a shadow shot up from underground, and a short knife stabbed fiercely toward Bai Ruozhu.

”Master!” Jianqi, being far, was frightened out of his wits.

Tang Feng and the others’ expressions changed drastically. When did a Shadow Ninja infiltrate? He even evaded the arrays, and Bai Ruozhu didn’t detect him.

Inside, the people were also shocked, and Jiang Yichun nearly jumped off the bed.

But in the next second, everyone was stunned, a clang sounded, the ninja’s short blade hit a barrier and was forcefully rebounded.

Bai Ruozhu kicked him, sending him flying several meters. Jianqi rushed up and struck his acupoint.

”Ruozhu, you scared me to death!” Jiang Yichun hastily pulled the quilt, his voice slightly trembling.

Bai Ruozhu turned back and smiled at him, ”Am I someone who acts carelessly? Have faith in me.”

Jiang Yichun also smiled, ”Alright, I’ll try not to overreact in the future. I have faith in you.”

The others came over as well, Gao Zhou and Fo Lanying were there too, and Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief, asking, ”What happened outside? Did She Zongyi send people to capture you?”

”Ruozhu, you almost have a divine foresight, if Jianqi and the others hadn’t come to help, Lan Ying and I wouldn’t have survived unscathed,” Gao Zhou said with some emotion.
