Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Later, Fang Guizhi told everyone what Bai Ruozhu said as a joke, and everyone took it as a joke, but no one expected that a few years later Bai Ruozhu said very seriously: "How can you joke about this kind of thing? Of course it's my son." It has the final say.”

Of course, these are all things for later.

That morning, Bai Ruozhu did not go to the stall with her family, but stayed in the Xie Mansion kitchen to advise on what ingredients to prepare for lunch.

Taking advantage of the absence of Mrs. Li, Bai Ruozhu took the pulse of Yu Hongxiu and Mr. Li again. Bai Ruozhu felt that Mr. Li's condition had improved. He was eating regularly and reasonably. Coupled with the effect of diet therapy, his body was now healthy. Much better.

"You are all in good health now. You can continue to take care of yourself. In winter, your hands and feet will not be too cold, and you will not be susceptible to wind and cold." Bai Ruozhu was talking about the principle of improving resistance, but she could not directly use "resistance" such as statement.

Yu Hongxiu and Mr. Xie were very happy after hearing this. Mr. Xie also said: "I feel much better recently. I don't have backache after sitting for a long time, and I seem to have more strength."

Bai Ruozhu snickered, you were malnourished before, are you feeling comfortable now?

Yu Hongxiu felt relieved and asked Mr. Xie to go to the study. Then she pulled Bai Ruozhu and asked quietly: "When do you think we can have a child?"

"I can't say for sure, it depends on fate, but don't worry, don't have any psychological burden, only when you are in a good mood can you conceive a child. And..." Bai Ruozhu lowered his voice, with a hint of sadness on his face. Smirk.

"What?" Yu Hongxiu asked anxiously.

Bai Ruozhu's smile became even worse, "It can't be too frequent, otherwise it will be difficult to get pregnant." She had just checked her pulse and found out that Yu Hongxiu was in good health, but she seemed to have been a little too exhausted during sex recently.

Yu Hongxiu's heart felt fuzzy when she was stared at by Bai Ruozhu, and her face turned red all of a sudden. She blushed and let out a soft hum.

Bai Ruozhu was holding back her laughter and almost burst out laughing. Mr. Xie was in his prime, and the two of them wanted to have children. It was normal at all. However, Yu Hongxiu was still an ancient woman, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head when she mentioned this. .

Fortunately, the maid outside came to report that Mrs. Li was here, and Yu Hongxiu seemed to have found a shield. She stood up hurriedly and said, "Let's go and greet Mrs. Li."

Bai Ruozhu suppressed her laughter and stood up, "Okay."

The two of them met Mrs. Li halfway. Bai Ruozhu took a quick look at her. Mrs. Li had a long face, a little fat, and was very blessed. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Mr. Li. This is probably what people often say. "Husband and wife".

Yu Hongxiu took care of Mrs. Li and introduced her to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu saluted Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li immediately said no courtesy, but Bai Ruozhu could see that although Mrs. Li's attitude was polite, she was not at all like her. To be close to her, or to look down on her slightly.

Bai Ruozhu is not angry at all. No matter in ancient times or modern times, people have their own circles. Yu Hongxiu is the legitimate daughter of a Jiangnan noble family. Although Mr. , it is natural for Mrs. Li to be close to Yu Hongxiu. Bai Ruozhu was just a village woman at this time, and she was far inferior to others in terms of status. It was impossible for others to treat her as a friend just after they met her.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Yu Hongxiu probably saw Mrs. Li's attitude, and was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would be unhappy, so she found a way to praise Bai Ruozhu, which made Mrs. Li change her opinion of Bai Ruozhu and looked at her with a little surprise. , and also a little curious.

"Sister Li, let Ruozhu take a look at it for you. Maybe I can prescribe some dietary therapy so that your health can be better." Yu Hongxiu said to Mrs. Li with a smile.

Mrs. Li nodded and said to Bai Ruozhu, "Okay, then I'll help you."

"You're welcome, madam." After Bai Ruozhu said this, she asked Mrs. Li to put her hand flat and feel her pulse.

After this investigation, Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly, but soon she returned to her original state, as if the frown at that moment never existed at all.

"Madam, you must have seen the doctor. He must say you are in good health." Bai Ruozhu said with a faint smile.

Mrs. Li nodded, "Yes, all the doctors I've seen say so."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and didn't say much. She just wrote a soothing dietary prescription and let Mrs. Li go back and follow the instructions, saying that she would sleep better.

Mrs. Li put away the prescription doubtfully and wanted to pay Bai Ruozhu the medical fee, but Bai Ruozhu refused to accept it.

"Madam is not sick. What I wrote to you is just an ordinary prescription. How dare I accept Madam's consultation fee?" Bai Ruozhu smiled and pushed back the money.

Yu Hongxiu looked at Bai Ruozhu and was very puzzled. He already told her that he was introducing business to her, so why was he so polite and didn't accept the consultation fee?

"Just accept what Madam gave me." Yu Hongxiu said with an angry look at Bai Ruozhu.

But Bai Ruozhu still refused to accept it, saying, "Master Li has helped my family several times, how can I accept money from my wife for such a trivial matter?"

Yu Hongxiu and Mrs. Li had no choice but to stop forcing it, and then Bai Ruozhu excused herself to go to the kitchen and walked away.

When she left the room, she frowned tightly. Yu Hongxiu had good intentions to introduce business to her, but she encountered such trouble!

Mrs. Li was not sick at all, she did not lie, and the doctor was not wrong. However, Mrs. Li was poisoned. It is a chronic poison, and it is normal for doctors not to be able to diagnose it. The longer the poisoning lasts, the worse the body will get and you will become more susceptible to illness, such as catching wind and cold, or having diarrhea after eating something cold. , and then slowly move towards death.

Bai Ruozhu estimated that this process should take two or three years, but she couldn't tell how long Mrs. Li had been drugged. Originally, the drug would not show anything at all. It seemed that something Mrs. Li had eaten before had mixed with the poison. , so I felt a little uncomfortable.

The person who can give Mrs. Li chronic poison must be the people around her, who can even cover the sky with one hand. Such a person, even a concubine of Mr. Li, can crush a commoner like Bai Ruozhu to death at will. Bai Ruozhu didn't dare to take risks and offend the other party. She was not alone now. She had children and family members. She couldn't let them be put in danger.

Furthermore, she also wondered whether Mr. Li knew about this. In ancient times, there were many people who were dissatisfied with their first wives and tried to find ways to get rid of them so that they could remarry. If it was Mr. Li, she couldn't afford to offend him even more, so she didn't say anything more just now.

The meal was cooked a little half-heartedly, and the stir-fried mutton was overcooked. Bai Ruozhu was helpless, so she had to stay, then put her mind back and cooked another portion.

During lunch, Bai Ruozhu excused herself to take care of the children and did not go over to eat. However, before she arrived at the west courtyard, she saw Guizhi hugging Deng Deng with an anxious look on his face. He was obviously here to find her.

"Ruozhu, take a look quickly, Dengdeng is sick!"
