Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 1675: Indifference Before Parting

After she finished speaking, she turned back to the servant and said, "Take Dou Yun back to her parents’ home first. Her parents are worried sick about her, poor parents, we must understand their feelings. Wait for Muyu to return to the Capital, then bring Dou Yun back."

Muyu was especially pleased to hear that, it took him quite some effort to suppress his smile, "Yes, what Madam arranged makes sense, I will have the Yue Family take good care of Dou Yun."

"What do you mean by this? You can’t renege on your word!" Madam Dou shouted, Muyu glared over with a sharp look, "What are you yelling about? The Bai Family owes you nothing. If you keep causing trouble, putting me in a position of disloyalty and unrightfulness, I’ll just have to divorce her!"

Bai Ruozhu secretly gave Muyu a thumbs up in her heart, finally he stopped being an idiot.

Dou Ning and Madam Dou exchanged a glance and immediately lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum.

"My poor daughter, such a good girl turned into a fool by others, and now she’s going to be divorced, truly heartless!" Dou Ning cried and yelled.

"This is bullying our poor family, no money no power, just allowing people to manipulate us!" Madam Dou also shouted.

The two looked pitiful, crying and yelling, like two lunatics, the onlookers now not only pointed fingers but couldn’t help cursing the two.

"Talking about caring for the daughter, just trying to cling to the Bai Family for benefits, but on what basis? So shameless!"

"Exactly, marrying a Bai Family guard, then causing trouble in the main family, clearly don’t want the son-in-law to serve properly. With hands and feet, why not do something productive? Why cling to others?"

"..."

Bai Ruozhu gave a look to Chen Feng, and Chen Feng said to the Dou Family, "You’ve said enough, if you’re not satisfied, go complain to the Government Office instead of blocking the way here, I’ll take you there."

He said this and strode over, grabbing one in each hand and walked off into the distance. The three young members of Dou Xingde hurriedly followed, tugging at him, but couldn’t move Chen Feng at all, only able to chase and shout all the way as they left.

Bai Zehao made a bow to the crowd, "Sorry for the trouble, our family is leaving town today, please be accommodating, let’s disperse."

The crowd returned the gesture, saying some blessings for a safe journey before dispersing.

Only then did the Bai Family’s horse carriages come out one by one, everyone got on the carriages and headed for the City Gate.

At the City Gate, everyone got off the carriages again, bidding farewell reluctantly, especially Bai Ruozhu and Little Dengdeng, although they hadn’t been apart for long, they still couldn’t bear parting.

After sending off Bai Yihong and his group, Bai Ruozhu invited the relatives and friends who came to bid farewell to come for a meal.

"After I handle the North Mountain medicine field matters, I’ll be leaving the Capital directly, won’t disturb everyone anymore, so I say goodbye in advance." Bai Ruozhu raised a glass to everyone and said.

"Ruozhu, I’ve heard there’s heavy snow in the North Mountain area, the road is difficult to travel, won’t it be unsafe for you to go now?" Marquis Boru opened his mouth to ask, the journey from the Capital to the North Mountain isn’t far, but part of it requires mountain roads, which are quite perilous after snow.

"I’ll assess the situation when I get there, those medicine fields can’t be neglected, but if the situation is severe, I won’t take unnecessary risks either." Bai Ruozhu replied.

Marquis Boru nodded, "That’s good, if you need help, speak up promptly."

Bai Ruozhu offered a courtesy, "Thank you, Marquis."

Madam Boru smiled beside him, "There’s no need to be so formal with family."

Their attitude was clear, even if Bai Yihong wasn’t Bai Fu’s biological child, they still treated Bai Ruozhu’s family as their own kin.

Afterwards, everyone continued chatting heartily for quite some time, it was only Jiang Yichun who sat quietly aside, speaking little beyond a few words with Yu Chenghua, but everyone assumed that was just his character, thinking nothing of it.

Instead, Bai Ruozhu felt he was still sulking with her, feeling somewhat upset.

After the banquet dispersed, Bai Ruozhu returned to the Residence to pack her belongings, planning to set off for the North Mountain early the next morning. After dinner, Jiang Yichun went to the Palace and didn’t return until nightfall.

Bai Ruozhu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, she was leaving tomorrow, she wanted to speak with him regardless of taking a step back herself. Yet, that fellow was still sulking, not coming back, Bai Ruozhu was about ready to explode by the time he returned.

"I’m leaving tomorrow morning." She finally couldn’t hold her temper, speaking first, her tone carrying an evident grievance and resentment.

Jiang Yichun glanced at her, "I know, be careful on the road." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

He said this, took off his outer robe, lay on the bed, and pulled the blanket over himself.

Bai Ruozhu watched him close his eyes, feeling almost like jumping up to scold him, just one "be careful on the road" and that was it? Then he simply went to sleep?

She had no choice but to lie down as well, still holding onto a hope he might say something later, but before long she heard his rhythmic snoring...he had fallen asleep...

Bai Ruozhu took several deep breaths, finally suppressing her anger, eventually also drifting off into sleep.

Next morning, the space beside her on the pillow was empty, Bai Ruozhu felt a bitter pain in her heart, her eyes turning sour.

She jumped out of bed, rubbed her slightly reddened eyes, who was Bai Ruozhu? How could she turn into a whining woman unable to be without a man? If he doesn’t care, forget it, he’ll regret it later!

Thinking this, she picked up her spirits, dressed properly, looked at her still-sleeping son after stepping outside, and gave a few instructions to Nanny Zhang, then took Jianqi and the others out of the Residence.

The road to North Mountain was treacherous, Bai Ruozhu decided not to bring her son, she and Jianqi were all on horseback to travel quickly.

Bai Ruozhu led the group on horseback out of the City, galloping fast towards the north.

Just less than two hours after Bai Ruozhu departed, a slender figure rode a fast horse to the Bai Residence Gate.

"I want to see Bai Ruozhu, tell them Bai Qizhi wants to see her!" The young girl on horseback nimbly dismounted and said loudly to the gatekeeper.

"Miss, I’m sorry, my lady left early in the morning for North Mountain to inspect the medicine field, it’ll be some days before she returns. Why don’t you leave a name card, and I’ll pass it on to her when she returns?" The gatekeeper said courteously.

"What? How long has she been gone?" Bai Qizhi shouted.

"About two hours." The gatekeeper replied.

Bai Qizhi mounted her horse, "I’ll go chase her; even if I chase to North Mountain, I must catch up with her!"

The girl left like a gust of wind, leaving the gatekeeper stunned in place. It was only after a moment that he realized her eyes were reddened, her emotions were intense, wouldn’t something happen?

He hurriedly went to report to Zhang Liliang who was left in charge, Zhang Liliang immediately knew who Bai Qizhi was, gathered a group and went out, regardless of whether Bai Qizhi had really chased out of the City or was just saying so, he had to report to the Bai residence, just in case something happened.

However, Zhang Liliang only knew Bai Qizhi was Bai Ruozhu’s friend, but didn’t know Bai Yihong’s true heritage.
