Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2505: Chapter 2506: Jealousy

Afterwards, Sa Tian did not return with Bai Ruozhu; he went to the General’s Residence to gather information.

Bai Ruozhu returned to Linzhi Palace, briefly explained the situation to the others, then went back to her room to rest.

She didn’t go into detail about that strange coroner, fearing that people from Xinye didn’t want it known, so she didn’t mention it much.

Once in the room, she entered the Space, took out the medicine used by the coroner, and began to study it.

The medicine she used on the corpse came from the ”Poison Classic,” and although the coroner’s medicine wasn’t as good as hers, it had a similar underlying flavor. Could it be that the other party also possessed the ”Poison Classic”?

Was it the same person who gifted Empress Shangzi the jade bracelet before? Or is there more than one person in Fusang who has the ”Poison Classic”?

With her head aching from thinking, she remembered feeling sticky from sweating earlier, so she soaked in the hot spring for a while, then exited the Space and had a good sleep.

When she woke up, the sky outside was completely darkened. She was indeed exhausted, having slept for so long.

As soon as she got up, she noticed someone sitting by the table, body stiff, with most of their face hidden in the shadow.

She didn’t need to look closely to know it was her man.

”Why are you just sitting there stupidly, don’t you know how to light a lamp?” Bai Ruozhu said with some complaint, then climbed out of bed and put on her outerwear.

Jiang Yichun didn’t reply, his face longer than before, but Bai Ruozhu didn’t notice his mood due to the dim light.

He was just sulking there, and when he saw her get dressed and light the lamp on her own, he asked somewhat unhappily, ”What did you do today?”

Bai Ruozhu paused her movements, ”Wasn’t I just dealing with the corpse? Everyone told you?”

Jiang Yichun snorted, showing his dissatisfaction.

”Hehe, I was very careful not to put myself in danger. You see, I came back just fine?” Bai Ruozhu knew he was again complaining about her taking risks, ultimately concerned for her.

”If you weren’t exhausted, would you have slept so long? You even missed dinner,” Jiang Yichun said angrily. ”A few days ago you suffered a Divine Sense Attack, and your mental state wasn’t good, so why did you show off? Is there anything you won’t get involved in?”

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, ”It’s not really meddling, is it? This person was also someone we helped save, and at the time, I wanted to give him a way to survive.”

Jiang Yichun took a deep breath, feeling like he was talking to a wall with her. Did she not understand that he was upset about her risking her life to help Xinye?

”That’s because Xinye didn’t handle their matters well. Why are you worrying? Besides, he is one of Chi Song’s people, what does that have to do with us?” Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly realized that his main discomfort was her helping Xinye; he was simply getting irrationally jealous.

”I’ve already helped, what else is there to say? You’re angry about someone else’s matters, and yet you don’t think about the fact that I haven’t eaten. You have time to argue with me, but can’t let me eat something first?” Bai Ruozhu’s tone heightened a bit. She didn’t want to argue with him, but she felt she wasn’t wrong in this matter and couldn’t spoil him like that.

Jiang Yichun choked, deeply inhaling before saying, ”The dishes are kept warm in the pot; I’ll bring them to you.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled, reassured that he ultimately cared for her.

”Did you eat?” she asked, looking at his back.

”No appetite,” he replied without turning around.

So he hadn’t eaten. Jealousy over such trivialities and to a point of not eating? What was he thinking?

She quickly caught up to him, grabbed his arm, and said, ”Then I’ll make you something you like, let’s go to the kitchen together.”

”No appetite,” Jiang Yichun repeated with a cold face.

Bai Ruozhu chuckled twice, ”You’ll have an appetite soon.”

As she spoke, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, and pressed her lips to peck his cheek with a kiss.

Jiang Yichun paused underfoot, turning around abruptly. Bai Ruozhu thought he was going to ask her what she was doing, but to her surprise, he said nothing, reached out to grip her head, and planted a fierce kiss.

She was kissed so breathless that she was only released after a long while. His eyes were bright, and he gritted his teeth saying, ”You started this fire.”

Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips to smile, ”Do you have an appetite now?”

”I want to eat you,” he said, staring into her eyes. Bai Ruozhu thought she misheard, but he said it deliberately, word by word, so it couldn’t have been unclear.

Her face flushed to her neck; her man was getting more shameless!

”Stop fooling around, I’m so hungry I might faint,” she pouted a little irritably.

Jiang Yichun suppressed the flames in his eyes, took her hand, and said, ”Let’s eat first.”

They went to the kitchen together, and Jiang Yichun quickly took out the dishes saved for Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu quickly gobbled down a few mouthfuls, smiled at him, and said, ”You heat up the water, I’ll prepare the ingredients, and let’s have some hotpot.”

Jiang Yichun saw she wanted to eat that and nodded to heat up the water.

Back then, men didn’t know how to cook, but he was willing to do anything for her.

Soon, the water boiled, and Bai Ruozhu cut some ingredients to cook, watching the fire as she said, ”I actually love eating this kelp the most, the fish balls are good too.”

Jiang Yichun watched her profile without speaking, but there was already a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, the fragrant, tear-inducing spicy hotpot was ready, and Bai Ruozhu gave Jiang Yichun a bowl and served herself a bowl to eat.

”I really can’t live without spice. If there were no chili peppers, my life would be hard to bear,” Bai Ruozhu said with a giggle.

Jiang Yichun found the spice overwhelming, but he had to admit that this spicy food was indeed satisfying.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Jiang Yichun’s jealousy had completely dissipated; he couldn’t remain angry indefinitely after all.

After breakfast, Sa Tian came over and said, ”Yesterday, the coroner’s autopsy results were already handed to the General. The General sent his trusted aides to examine again last night and confirmed there was no problem; then they arrested that person from Gaomi, saying he was slandering Xinye.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded and said, ”Then things should have calmed down, and Xinye should be fine.”

”But that person insisted Xinye switched people, asking the General to send someone to search, saying if it’s not in Xinye’s house, it’s hidden in the posthouse where you previously stayed,” Sa Tian said, stomping his feet in anger.

”The posthouse definitely doesn’t have it, wasn’t it him who arranged the person?” Jiang Yichun answered.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly rubbed her temples, ”Why do I have a feeling that Xinye may have hidden the person in his own house? He’s notoriously unreliable; when I went to see the corpse yesterday, he actually found someone without martial arts or inner strength!”

Everyone couldn’t help but curse. Was Xinye deceiving too much, or was it because as a warrior, he couldn’t think that meticulously?

”The General has already sent people to search Xinye’s house, it’s too late to stop them now. I’m just afraid...” Sa Tian was so anxious that sweat was dripping from him.
