Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Everyone laughed and went home happily.

Jiang Yichun snatched her son from Bai Ruozhu's arms on the way and held her in her arms. She didn't let go until she got home. Bai Ruozhu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. But seeing how affectionate the father and son were, she felt extra warm in her heart, so she couldn't get angry anymore. .

At noon, people in the courtyard gathered together for dinner to greet Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun. Fang Guizhi also came back from the hot spring village. Although there was a smile on her face, Bai Ruozhu still saw the faint sadness in her eyes and sighed softly in her heart. tone, but didn’t ask any more questions.

During the meal, Bai Ruozhu noticed that the second brother's meal was very light. Then he noticed that the second brother's face was not right, so he grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse.

"Second brother, what's going on with you?" Bai Ruozhu asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, I just have an upset stomach. It's basically gone." Bai Zepei gave her a faint smile.

Lin Ping'er felt uneasy and rushed to tell Bai Zepei that he fell ill on the day he took the provincial examination. She also asked Bai Ruozhu to take a good look at Bai Zepei to avoid causing any disease.

Bai Ruozhu frowned, but soon relaxed, and said to her mother: "It's okay, he's almost healed. I'll prescribe some conditioning medicine for my second brother later. Just take it twice."

Lin Ping'er felt relieved after hearing her daughter's words.

Everyone started eating lively again. Bai Ruozhu quietly looked at his second brother's expression. Although he was the same as before, there was some sadness hidden in his eyes.

During the banquet, everyone asked about the process of suppressing the bandits. Jiang Yichun, who rarely talked much, actually told everyone about Bai Ruozhu's outstanding performance. Although his words were very simple and dry without much emotion, everyone listened with special interest. Come on, I really think Bai Ruozhu is a heroine.

Bai Ruozhu felt embarrassed by everyone's scorching eyes and said with a smile: "Don't listen to Ah Chun trying to flatter me. I don't have to rely on them to fight. I have to rely on Jian Qi and the others to protect me. Just give me a little help." That’s all.”

Bai Yihong was very happy and said: "Ruozhu has grown up and knows that he can repay evil with kindness. Dad is very happy."

What he was talking about was Bai Ruozhu's rescue of Zhou Ying. Bai Ruozhu secretly stuck out his tongue. She was not repaying evil with kindness. She was not that great. She just didn't want Lao Feng and the others to be punished for helping her seek justice.

The meal lasted for nearly an hour. After the meal, everyone dispersed. Bai Ruozhu asked Jiang Yichun to take Deng Deng back to the house to rest. She wanted to talk to her second brother.

Jiang Yichun thought that Bai Zepei had not performed well, so he was not jealous and asked Bai Ruozhu to comfort his second brother.

"Second brother, did you guess it?" Bai Ruozhu asked as soon as he entered the room.

The second brother asked his mother for the medicine she had left, so naturally he knew about her special arrangement.

Bai Zepei paused and nodded slightly. Then he took out a few pills from under the bed, handed them to Bai Ruozhu and said, "Take a look and see if there is anything wrong with these pills."

Bai Ruozhu sniffed it with his nose, opened the pill, looked at it, and said, "No problem, but it has basically no effect. Where does this come from?"

Bai Zepei smiled bitterly and took the pill bottles that Bai Ruozhu left for her, and then said, "Then these pills must be fine?"

Bai Ruozhu took a look and said, "No problem, they are indeed pills made by me."

"That **** took the pills you left, but they had no effect, so I hid some on purpose and wanted to come back to you to have a look. At that time, I suspected that the pills had been changed." Bai Zepei sighed as he said, "It's okay. I asked my mother for some more medicine, otherwise I might not be able to survive the exam."

Bai Ruozhu was also greatly relieved. Fortunately, she had left some medicine for her mother in private before she left. She also told her second brother in private that if the medicine was not enough, she would go to her mother to get it. She thought her second brother was smart. , I will definitely think of it if something happens.

"When did you find out?" Bai Zepei frowned.

"After retrieving him, Jian Qi next to me is a master at checking wounds. He found that there was something wrong with the wounds on Qin Kaichang's hands. Although many of them were stepped on, scratched, and bitten by dogs, , there are also traces of the upper plywood hidden underneath." Bai Ruozhu said.

Bai Zepei raised his head fiercely, "I have been thinking that maybe I am paranoid. His injuries may have been caused by torture by King Duan's people. He was afraid that we would worry so he didn't mention it."

"Second brother, you are a smart person. You should have noticed it, but you just can't believe it." Bai Ruozhu said and sighed, "And he has other injuries, such as the use of disguise cream on the collarbone."

"What?" Bai Zepei was a little stunned.

"Second brother, do you still remember that night in Zhoucheng, someone used your clothes to lure Jian Qi away, and then sent a killer to attack us, but I caught the killer with poison? Ah Chun was later tortured, not only After being splinted, I was afraid that the killer would shrink his bones and escape, so I pierced his collarbone with an iron hook."

Bai Ruozhu's eyes drooped slightly, "That was the night Qin Kaichang disappeared."

Bai Zepei couldn't stand upright and fell down on the chair on top of him. He didn't recover for a long time. He thought a lot about Qin Kaichang's jealousy, but he didn't think there were so many things he didn't know.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier..." Bai Zepei asked absently.

"At the beginning, I could only confirm that there was something wrong with the injury on his hand. Just like you thought before, I thought it was King Duan's people who tortured him. He didn't remember what happened, so he didn't mention it to us. And the same goes for Jian Qi. On the way back, I remembered that he used disguise cream on his collarbone. His disguise was very clever, so we didn't notice it at first."

Bai Ruozhu gritted his teeth, "If I had confirmed this early on, I would never have let him be next to you to harm you! Now these pills and your sudden stomach pain have proven everything."

"Maybe the one who was rescued was not Qin Kaichang, but someone else disguised himself?" Bai Zepei still didn't want to believe it.

"Then we can only arrest him and investigate." She raised her head and stared into her second brother's eyes and asked, "Second brother, how do you decide?"

In fact, Bai Zepei already has the answer in his heart. After spending these days together, he clearly knows whether the rescued Qin Kaichang is Qin Kaichang. If he is the fake Qin Kaichang, then the people who met him at the beginning and became close friends with him are also It’s fake. The one he has considered as his friend from beginning to end is Qin Kaichang!

Bai Zepei didn't speak for a long time, and the room was eerily quiet. Bai Ruozhu didn't rush him, but just waited patiently.

After a long while, Bai Zepei let out a long sigh and said, "Catch him. No matter who he is, business must be done." He paused for a few seconds and said hurriedly: "Don't let Guizhi know about it yet."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and felt his head hurt. If Qin Kaichang had always been a member of King Duan, then his purpose of approaching the Bai family would be obvious. Becoming friends with his second brother and getting close to Guizhi were probably all King Duan’s order.

"No wonder he pursues Guizhi but doesn't mention it to my good friend..." Bai Zepei murmured to himself.
