Some people who did not know the truth were misled and felt that Bai's behavior was unreasonable. The rumors became more and more distorted, saying that she was sucking the blood of her mother's family, constantly asking for money, being extremely unfilial, heartless and ungrateful, and disregarding the law and etiquette.
Yan Dong in the mansion was extremely anxious about the news, but his wife was not at home, so he could only go to the streets to find out who spread the news.
At this time, Bai Zhiyue, Doudou and a group of animals were already playing on the farm.
They were supposed to take a carriage when they went there, but Chi Yan disagreed and insisted that Bai Zhiyue ride it, as if if she didn't ride it, it meant she didn't like it and wanted to abandon it.
"You must ride on me today. Let them do their missions without me, and don't need me when they go out. Hiss, hiss, you don't pamper me anymore~"
"Don't people usually ride in carriages when they go out? And you don't want to pull a carriage!"
"No, a noble horse like me can't pull a carriage. You sit on my back and let Doudou ride in the carriage."
"Haha, Yueyue, just agree to the big fool. This is a good time for him to show off."
"Get out of here, you little bastard! I'm using you to talk to Yueyue, aren't you just envious that I can have such close contact with her?"
"Who's envious? If I wanted Yueyue to take me with her, she would definitely agree, hum!"
"Mom, just agree to it. Chiyan also wants to have a stronger presence and is afraid of losing her status in your place."
In the past, we had to coax the arrogant Chiyan, but now we have learned to compete for her favor.
"Alright, I'm really scared of you! Congcong, just follow me."
"I knew Yueyue liked me."
Chi Yan ran to Bai Zhiyue happily and knelt down to help her get on the horse.
In this way, the dignified first-rank lady rode a horse in front to lead the way, and the maid following her took Doudou in the carriage, making her look like a guard, causing people on the road to look at her a few more times.
They hadn't noticed the birds flying overhead, circling back and forth for a while and then turning back, just to follow Bai Zhiyue.
After leaving the city gate, Chiyan ran wildly all the way.
"I'm so happy. This is the life I should be living. If I don't run more, the fat on my body will flake off."
"How about leaving you on the farm for a while, and then having someone take you back when you've had enough fun?"
Chi Yan wanted to be outside, but didn't want to leave Bai Zhiyue.
"You can come too. There's nothing good to stay in the mansion."
It's okay to come to the village occasionally to relax, but there are usually a lot of snakes and insects, and the experience is not very good.
"Forget it, it's still more comfortable to live in the mansion."
"Then I'll come with you. Take me out when you want to."
“That’s a lot of requirements.”
When we arrived at the small village, the farmers had already started planting crops. Most of the 120 acres were planted with winter wheat, and a small part was left empty to plant beans.
"Madam, the manor has been cleaned up, but the manor is small here, and the yard is built a bit simply, so Madam, please make do with it."
The village head, Lao Tian, brought his wife and daughter-in-law to help clean up the yard.
"It's okay. I only stay for a day or two occasionally. How is the winter wheat growing this year?"
"Not bad. We had two heavy snowfalls last winter, and there was no freezing rain this spring, so the seedlings are growing well."
"That's good. Besides farming, do you have any other income?"
"Our farm isn't big. Usually, it's just Old Li and I who are busy. During the busy farming season, we hire some temporary workers. In our spare time, we make baskets and sell them, but we don't make much money."
"Don't you have some pigs or chickens and ducks?"
If you raise two pigs a year, you can make some money at the end of the year. Besides, you can save money by buying bran made from the grain in your own fields as feed.
"I was afraid of getting plague. I did keep them for the first few years, but they got plague two or three times in five years, so I stopped keeping them after that."
Without specialized veterinary medicines and corresponding breeding skills, the chances of problems occurring are indeed high.
"Mom, can I make medicine?"
"They asked you to study veterinary medicine?"
"Not really. They don't let us learn advanced things. All I can learn are things they don't care about, so the things I read are very diverse. I learned about veterinary medicine from books I found myself."
"It's quite a mixture. I'll mix some and try it out on my farm to see the effects. It's best to use existing herbs, otherwise it won't be possible to promote it."
"No problem. We have all kinds of folk remedies, and there are many kinds based on local wild herbs and herbs."
Chiyan had already run off to who knows where, and Congcong and the others had also gone out to look for food. Since the weather had warmed up and there were insects and plants, she rarely fed them anymore, only occasionally giving them some snacks to whet their appetite.
Qinglian and Hongying were helping the Tian family cook. After lunch, they took Doudou to the hillside to fly a kite.
"Run faster, faster, let out the string, pull it, it's going to fall! Mom, you're a little stupid, how come you can't even fly a kite?"
"It's the first time, or I'll give it a try!"
Doudou shut up, he was afraid of being hung on the kite and sent into the sky.
"Pfft, Madam Rongfu hasn't had the chance to play it yet, so it's normal that she can't put it up. Do you need help?"
"Hehe, she's not as good as my little sister. She can even put it high."
Bai Zhiyue turned around and found that there was a family behind her who were also about to fly a kite. The one who spoke first was Madam Qi, the Marquis of Zhengbei, who was said to have no son to rely on.
She was surrounded by her three daughters and was holding a white, blue-eyed cat in her arms. The cat lay lazily in her owner's arms with its eyes closed, enjoying the beautiful spring time.
There was no trace of happiness on her face.
"Yes, this lady has never played before, but I'll let your kindness go. I really like the feeling of playing however I want. It doesn't matter whether I can let go or not. What matters is that I'm in a good mood. Unlike Madam Qi, I'm afraid she's not in such a good mood to play."
"Madam Rongfu, my mother just wants to help you. Why are you being so harsh?"
Bai Zhiyue looked up and saw that the other person was a little girl about ten years old, but her face did not have the innocence of a child, but was full of calculation.
"Your mother said I've never played before and I said she wasn't in the mood. What's wrong? What's sharp? If there's something wrong with a girl's ears, try to expose yourself as little as possible to avoid being laughed at."
"Mom~ She scolded me, wuwuwu"
After hearing what was said, the little girl immediately ran to Mrs. Qi, crying so hard that she couldn't stop.
"Mrs. Bai, it's a bit too much to target a child like this!"
"Did I talk to her?"
Who do you have to blame if you have to come forward?
"You have always looked down on my mother. You are a bad woman, a bad woman!"
Qi also remembered the stabbing she had done at the palace banquet. This time, it was because she had refused to agree to the Marquis' request to raise a concubine's son, and they had a big quarrel that she brought her three daughters to stay temporarily at her dowry farm. Naturally, she was not in a good mood.
He is making insinuations about her again. Isn't that just like those people who look down on her?
"Don't go too far!"
"How did I go too far? You guys are just talking on your own."
The other two girls tugged at their mother, signaling her not to get into conflict with others.
