Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2845: Chapter 2846: Strike While You’re Down

Jiang Yichun hurriedly got off the horse carriage to rush towards the frozen Zhu Ning. Gao Zhou and Chushuang felt strange at heart and also got off to follow. When they saw Zhu Ning in the carriage, they were even more astonished.

”Is this the person who used the Transfer Technique?” Chushuang asked.

”Yes, mother, do you have a way to break it? There’s something strange about her, if not frozen, Ruozhu will feel pain.” Jiang Yichun said.

Chushuang’s expression grew more solemn, ”Let’s talk after we get back.”

On the way back, the children saw their mother comatose and cried, but Dengdeng managed to be sensible, wiping his tears while comforting his two younger brothers, afraid they’d cause trouble for everyone.

”Brother, mama, it hurts!” Bengbeng pouted his little mouth and cried harder.

At this point, Tiaotiao also burst into tears.

Little Dengdeng’s face turned stern, ”Shut up!”

He was a good brother, rarely losing his temper with his younger siblings. His sudden sternness frightened the two little buns.

”No crying allowed, Grandpa and Grandma will save Mama. If you keep crying, they’ll get distracted. Don’t you want Mama to get better sooner?” Little Dengdeng asked, his tone of voice already softened.

Bengbeng and Tiaotiao sniffled, nodding vigorously. They wanted to cry again but stopped after a stern look from Dengdeng.

As soon as Dengdeng turned his head, tears fell down his face.

He forced a smile but swallowed his sobs back down.

Gao Zhou saw the three children like this, his eyes couldn’t help but redden. They had come happily to pick them up, only for things to change so drastically.

Meanwhile, in the Space, Xiaomao used an Illusory Realm to sleep, while Xiaohei was yelling at Xiaohui. Xiaohui turned into a shadow, saying in grievance, ”If she has an issue, I’ll atone with my life.”

”Nonsense, you’re dead already!” Xiaohei retorted angrily.

Xiaohui’s eyes dimmed, quietly curling up to the side, remembering many things.

As a child, its favorite was its little master, who also said they were the best of partners since he had no friends, and Xiaohui was his very best friend.

But one day he still killed it, without the slightest sense of guilt all these years.

Yet it had foolishly helped him do many terrible things, even biting someone as good as Bai Ruozhu.

”Forget it, I was too anxious. Don’t worry about it.” Xiaohei relented, going over to lie beside it.

Xiaohui looked at it, ”You were right to scold me, I truly am a scoundrel. Let me think things over, maybe I can find a solution.”

”Alright, try your best to think of something.” Xiaohei nodded vigorously.

...

The Bai Residence was in chaos at the moment, for as soon as the carriage entered the Bai Residence, Jiang Yichun fainted.

Gao Zhou immediately carried him back to his Room, and Chushuang quickly took Bai Ruozhu inside as well.

”Go get some ice, and get a lot, if there isn’t enough in the Residence, go buy more.” Muyu instructed the steward.

”Yes, yes.” The steward immediately went to take care of it.

Muyu didn’t look too well either; although he hadn’t exerted himself, he hadn’t rested these two days, and now he didn’t know if ordinary ice could restrain Zhu Ning’s bizarre red bellyband.

Bai Zehao and Wan Caiyue hurried over upon receiving word to check in, but they couldn’t help and didn’t want to ask too many questions, affecting the busy Gao Zhou and Chushuang, so they suppressed their worry to look after the three children.

”Achun is fine, just too exhausted, a good sleep will restore him.” Gao Zhou said.

Chushuang sighed with relief, ”But Ruozhu’s situation isn’t great, the wolf soul is a dead soul, too much death Qi.”

Gao Zhou was shocked, ”Could it be life-threatening?”

Chushuang didn’t reply, only nodded slightly.

”We must find a way to save Ruozhu, the children are still so young, and Achun loves her deeply. If anything happens to Ruozhu, I fear he wouldn’t live alone either.” Gao Zhou, talking, tears streaming down his face, thought if only they hadn’t left the Jiuli Clan.

”I will first control the spread of death Qi, then figure out something,” Chushuang felt uneasy as well.

She took a large amount of glutinous rice and Vermilion, scattering it over Bai Ruozhu’s body, adding a thick layer at the wound.

As the glutinous rice touched the wound, sizzling sounds were heard, white smoke rising, enough to make one’s teeth ache, yet Bai Ruozhu remained unconscious and unresponsive.

”If she reacted with pain it would be better, but with no reaction at all.” Chushuang worriedly said.

Gao Zhou patted her shoulder, ”Don’t worry, stay calm, we’ll surely find a way.”

Chushuang was under immense pressure, nodded, ”Ruozhu’s condition can only be like this temporarily, let’s check on Zhu Ning, resolving her situation might impact Ruozhu’s condition.”

The two exited the Room, Bai Zehao approached, ”How is it?”

Gao Zhou relayed the situation truthfully, patting his shoulder, ”Don’t worry too much, we’ll think of something, just need you to look after the children these days.”

Bai Zehao suddenly bowed deeply, ”Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, I leave Ruozhu in your care.”

Gao Zhou quickly helped him up, ”We’re family, don’t mention it, we won’t let anything happen to Ruozhu.”

No matter what, even at the cost of my life, Gao Zhou thought to himself.

Then Gao Zhou and Chushuang went to check on Zhu Ning’s condition, while Bai Zehao went to see the unconscious Bai Ruozhu, seeing Ruozhu covered entirely by glutinous rice and Vermilion, they couldn’t help but shed tears.

As they turned their heads seeing the children crying too, they quickly wiped away their tears, knowing they couldn’t be like this, they still had to care for the children.

Not far away, a little servant’s mouth curled into a sinister arc.

Bai Ruozhu, so you have your day too, I wanted to spar with you in poison, but there’s clearly no chance now, such a pity.

Strike at the illness with lethal intent, such an opportune moment, it’d be foolish not to seize it.

Laughter vanished instantly, making his face impassive, just like the most ordinary servant in the Residence.

His gaze fell on Little Dengdeng in the distance, how could that child be fine, could Bai Ruozhu have the Antidote on her?

His eyes burned with fervor, Bai Ruozhu must have more parts of the ”Poison Classic,” containing the Antidote for his kind of poison. He must get his hands on the ”Poison Classic.”

Night fell, and with it poor weather, the clouds obscured the moon, leaving places without candlelight pitch black, enveloping one in oppression and disquiet.

A shadow quietly slipped into Bai Ruozhu and her family’s Room, glancing at Bai Ruozhu on the bed before beginning to rummage through the place.

A quarter of an hour passed with no gains; Bai Ruozhu’s ”Poison Classic” hid well was understandable, but the Room offered nothing of value beyond its decor, surely the Bai Family wasn’t so miserly?

Could Bai Ruozhu have hidden her treasures elsewhere, within the Residence or outside?
