Bai Ruozhu asked Jianqi to deploy the plan, but unexpectedly, Jianqi made a new discovery very quickly.

"Master, just received a report from below that a woman secretly visited the medical sage elder, and he immediately left with her," Jianqi said.

"A woman!" Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up, "What kind of woman? How old is she, tall or short, slim or plump?"

"They said she wore a gauze cap, but her figure was clearly feminine. The medical sage elder seemed very familiar with her," Jianqi continued.

Bai Ruozhu became excited, "Send someone to investigate and see where they went, but be careful not to let them notice."

Jianqi shook his head, "It's a bit difficult; the woman is highly skilled in martial arts, possibly more formidable than the medical sage elder."

"It's fine. If we're discovered, then so be it. At worst, he can come to settle the score with me. Send someone to the guest palace to inform Achun as well," Bai Ruozhu instructed again.

"Yes."

Bai Ruozhu was very curious about the woman who came to see Gao Zhou, could it be the one growing strawberries?

She felt she could hardly sit still, really wanting to see the commotion, but was she fit to run around like this now?

She should just obediently stay at home and wait for news.

Jiang Yichun quickly received the message at the guest palace, found a gap to leave the palace, and soon Jianqi's subordinate provided a rough location to him, so he rushed over immediately.

He was indeed from the Department of State Affairs, adept at tracking. He soon saw Gao Zhou, while a woman was leaving.

He rushed over wanting to see more clearly, but unexpectedly that woman appeared to be walking, yet in a blink she was far away, then vanished from his sight.

"Why are you here?" Gao Zhou asked unhappily.

Jiang Yichun suddenly turned around, eyes somewhat bloodshot, "Who is she? Is she my mother? Why did she leave, does she refuse to see me?"

Gao Zhou was startled, knowing he was again affected by the evil energy, hurriedly said, "You misunderstood, don't get agitated, can't we go back and talk slowly?"

Jiang Yichun grabbed his arm, "You're not running away this time."

Gao Zhou smiled bitterly, "Not running anymore, why is it you never believe me?"

Jiang Yichun practically dragged him back to the Bai Residence. When Bai Ruozhu saw the father and son pair, she even thought they fought.

"Speak nicely, let go first!" She anxiously yelled.

Jiang Yichun released his hold, took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm himself down.

"Tell me, who is she? How could martial arts be so inscrutable?"

Gao Zhou sighed heavily, "She's really not your mother. She's that esteemed person I mentioned before."

Bai Ruozhu showed a sudden realization, "I remember, last time I said there was a fragrance in the letter from the esteemed person, guessing it was a woman, but you wouldn't admit it."

Gao Zhou's old face turned red, "I initially didn't want to mention her, isn't it embarrassing to speak of such matters with the younger generation?"

"Since we've already run into her, why not clarify things directly to prevent Achun from misunderstanding," Bai Ruozhu winked at him.

Gao Zhou was helpless, hoping his daughter-in-law would help him, dreaming was all he could do.

"Her name is Jing Shuang, only a character different from Achun's birth mother. So back then, while traveling outside, I mistook her for someone from Chushuang's clan, seeking ways to approach her. I found out she was a disciple of a reclusive master, very skilled in martial arts and magic technique, but she dislikes the disputes of the River Jiang; thus, few know her name outside."

Gao Zhou said feeling somewhat embarrassed, "It was precisely due to the misunderstanding I caused years ago that she became fond of me. But in my heart, there's only Chushuang; I couldn't accept her, and after several rejections, she gave up."

"And now?" Bai Ruozhu listened attentively, thinking her elder and father-in-law had quite a few romantic escapades.

"She never married, and we rarely contacted each other, but wasn't it recently because Achun had an issue? I sought her help, and ended up sending her another letter," Gao Zhou glared at Jiang Yichun fiercely, "which led to another misunderstanding. She even grabbed me to swear vows, claiming I disrupted her mind and had to take responsibility. I barely escaped and didn't expect her to chase over too; couldn't possibly duel with her at the Bai Residence, so I had to call her out and make things clear."

After he finished, still fuming, he kicked Jiang Yichun, "You brat, whose fault is this?"

Jiang Yichun was a bit embarrassed, coughed and said, "I misunderstood you."

"You misunderstood big time!" Gao Zhou blew his beard and glared.

But Bai Ruozhu laughingly asked, "So has she given up now?"

Gao Zhou's face instantly fell, "She's probably been alone for too long, her personality has become somewhat stubborn, not willing to relent on what she decided."

"You are still unyielding in your convictions too, aren't you?" Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrows, "When she took you to swear vows, did anything happen?"

Gao Zhou's face turned bright red, pointed at Bai Ruozhu and shouted, "You are too vulgar, what do you think about all day? Surely nothing, at most I got a few touches and kisses."

After saying this, he regretted it, ah, this kind of thing should not be said, how could he discuss such matters with his son?

"Not quarreling with you, I'm going back to rest." Gao Zhou blushed and dashed away.

Bai Ruozhu grabbed Jiang Yichun's arm, and cheerfully said, "I could imagine your father being harassed, but that also shows he's charming, right?"

Jiang Yichun looked serious, said solemnly, "That esteemed woman is quite infatuated."

"If she clung to your father without letting go, what would you do?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Jiang Yichun still kept a stern face, "Tell her my mother is coming back soon."

Bai Ruozhu pouted, "So ruthless."

Jiang Yichun thought silently for himself, if you ever went missing for twenty years, I absolutely wouldn't seek another woman. Then he wanted to slap himself, what was he thinking, he wouldn't allow her to disappear, not for twenty years, not even a day!

The next day, Gao Zhou was again called away by the woman, but this time Bai Ruozhu wasn't worried, thinking Gao Zhou was probably going to reject Jing Shuang once more.

When Gao Zhou returned home, he was somewhat depressed, seeing Bai Ruozhu looking at him, he directly said, "Rest assured, she has left and won't disturb me again."

Isn't that supposed to be a reason to be happy? Why is he in a bad mood?

Bai Ruozhu couldn't quite understand, but seeing Gao Zhou like this, wisely didn't provoke him.

Soon it was the day to provide Huang Rou the final detoxification. Bai Ruozhu cautiously detoxified and also secretly administered a latent Poison, as long as she didn't trigger the antidote, Huang Rou would be fine.

Fortunately, Elder Huang directly took Huang Rou to bid farewell, and soon news of their departure from Beiyu City spread, but Mo Beishan didn't leave and frequently visited Jiang Yichun, even though Jiang Yichun completely ignored him, he still kept smiling, as if Jiang Yichun wasn't returning the evil energy to the Sword of Silence, he wouldn't leave.
