Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2546: Chapter 2547: Achun Takes the Fall

”Fen Xianhua is already quite common, right? There are many women who dye their nails with Fen Xianhua, aren’t there?” Jiang Yichun thought for a moment and asked.

Bai Ruozhu was silent for a while, ”That color is only noticeable when freshly dyed, it fades a lot after washing for a while. I happen to know who just dyed it and whose figure resembles that coroner, but I don’t understand why she would do such a thing.”

”Who is it?” Jiang Yichun asked, seemingly unaware of such a person.

”You’ve never seen her, she’s the Crown Prince’s fiancée.” Bai Ruozhu went to see Empress Shangzi that day, Jiang Yichun did not accompany her, so he had never met Miaoluo.

”Are you going to see that Miaoluo?” Jiang Yichun asked.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, ”I have to meet her to figure it out. I’ll take Lan Ying with me, don’t worry.”

”Alright.”

Jiang Yichun was still keeping an eye on She Zongyi’s business, looking for opportunities to cause him losses or reduce his earnings. She Zongyi was somewhat flustered, so he hadn’t been appearing much.

In the afternoon, Bai Ruozhu brought Fo Lanying to Yaxi’s home. Bai Ruozhu found it difficult to say much to Yaxi, so she found an excuse and said, ”Are you familiar with Miss Miaoluo? Last time I saw her in the Palace, I felt a real connection, but unfortunately didn’t have a chance to invite her out for tea.”

”You mean the Crown Prince’s fiancée, right?” Yaxi laughed, ”I know her, but many people don’t like her. Not that she’s a bad person, it’s just that many girls regret not being able to be the Crown Prince’s wife.” Yaxi said.

Bai Ruozhu thought she indeed found the right person. With Yaxi’s mother having good relationships, she likely often brought her daughter to gatherings, and Yaxi must know many Noble Ladies.

”Her becoming the Crown Prince’s fiancée is her fortune, others being jealous won’t help.” Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

”I’ve never thought about the Crown Prince, so I have a pretty good relationship with her. How about we go find her now because once she’s married into the Palace, it will be difficult to meet.” Yaxi said.

Bai Ruozhu immediately agreed, she took Fo Lanying, followed Yaxi outside, boarded the horse carriage, and soon reached Miaoluo’s Residence.

Yaxi sent an invitation card, and Miaoluo quickly came out to meet them personally.

”Why are Mr. Bai and Yaxi here today?” Miaoluo asked in surprise.

Yaxi warmly took her by the arm, ”Today I was chatting with Sister Ruozhu, who happened to mention you, felt really connected, and since everyone knows each other, why not go out for tea and chat together?”

Miaoluo laughed, ”Alright, then let’s go now.”

Bai Ruozhu quietly observed her figure and actions, the more she looked, the more Miaoluo resembled that coroner.

Why would she disguise as a coroner and go to prison to help Xinye cover up the wounds on a corpse?

If someone did this, it would be someone from Xinye’s side or Luzhi’s subordinates. But Xinye was very sure that Luzhi wouldn’t arrange someone to do this for him.

And Xinye had no connection in his family with Miaoluo.

The four of them found a place to sit down for tea and ordered some sweets, then started chatting.

At some point, the topic turned to men, Yaxi laughingly said, ”Sister Ruozhu married a good man, everyone knows Mr. Jiang loves you very much.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled, ”You all only see one side, unaware of how jealous he actually is.”

No choice but to test the other side by selling out her husband, Achun.

”Previously, when Xinye got his leg broken, Sa Tian came to ask me for help to see him. Do you know Sa Tian? When we first arrived in Fusang, General Chisong sent him over as a translator. Remembering that Sa Tian helped us before, even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work. So, I agreed, only to find out my Jiang absolutely refused to let me go, claiming it was inappropriate for a woman like me to treat Xinye.”

Bai Ruozhu watched Miaoluo closely while mentioning Xinye.

But Miaoluo’s face maintained a sweet smile, her eyes showing envy, without any other reaction.

This is definitely not the reaction of a girl when her crush is mentioned.

If she doesn’t care about Xinye at all, why did she disguise as a coroner and enter the prison cell?

”Mr. Jiang even has such a cute side?” Yaxi laughed so much her mouth couldn’t close.

Fo Lanying listened with some excitement and started sharing.

”One time my Xiaoyuan called Ruozhu casually as I did, only to be glared at by Mr. Jiang! Now, when he calls her, it’s always with full name.

Yaxi and Miaoluo both laughed so hard they couldn’t close their mouths. Bai Ruozhu reached out to take Miaoluo’s hand and asked, ”Are these the nails dyed at Empress Shangzi’s last time? They’re really beautiful.”

Miaoluo was still a young girl, her face blushing from the praise, she laughed and said, ”Unfortunately Sister Ruozhu, it’s inconvenient for you to dye, otherwise your beautiful hands with dyed nails would look even better.”

Quickly the conversation turned to nail dyeing, which Yaxi and Miaoluo had much experience in, telling Fo Lanying who was moved and said she’d try it soon.

”How about coming to my house tomorrow and we dye our nails together?” Yaxi suggested.

Bai Ruozhu waved her hand, ”You three go ahead, I’ll just watch.”

Fo Lanying immediately agreed, her inner personality actually loving beauty very much.

”By the way, do you know any Noble Ladies or merchant families in Kyoto with girls with white hair?” Bai Ruozhu suddenly asked.

”White hair? Girls?” Yaxi was puzzled; isn’t white hair for old ladies?

”While we were sailing past a small Island, the Village leader asked me to pass a message to his daughter, saying she had a strange illness, turning all her hair white. Months ago, when a sea ship passed their Island, his son took the daughter along with the fleet, saying they were seeking treatment in Fusang.” Bai Ruozhu explained slowly.

”It’s a pity, if they stayed, couldn’t they have consulted you, Mr. Bai?” Miaoluo said.

”So I’m curious about what illness causes a girl’s hair to turn white and want to meet her. Recently, I’ve been busy and almost forgot about it. Being entrusted by someone, I must fulfill the responsibility. If you see such a person, please let me know.” Bai Ruozhu smiled at the two, ”I know very few people here, so I must depend on you.”

Yaxi smiled sweetly at Bai Ruozhu, ”My mother knows many people, I’ll ask her to help. If she knows it’s you searching, she’ll definitely put her heart into it.”

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, ”Still, don’t make a big deal of searching, nor mention that it’s me. I’m afraid the poor girl might be dragged into trouble.”

”How could she be?” Miaoluo exclaimed.

”We fought pirates several times at sea. They’ve been holding grudges, even stole our ships at the Pier, and now we don’t know how many are lurking in Kyoto. What if they mistake that girl for one of ours and harm her? She’s just an ordinary fisherman’s daughter, with no ability to protect herself. If she gets implicated by me, I would feel truly guilty.” Bai Ruozhu worriedly said.
