Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 275 Princess vs. Patriarch Gu
Gu Lanxi was born into a wealthy merchant family.
Ever since she could remember, she had seen her parents loving each other and treating each other with respect. But her mother had been married for many years and only had her as a daughter, and her father had taken in several concubines one after another, but still had no children.
Only then did my mother secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Although no one said it explicitly, everyone could guess that this was Mr. Gu's own problem.
Unfortunately, her mother injured her body when giving birth to her, and was depressed because of the issue of offspring, so she passed away within a few years.
After seeking medical help and seeking medicine without success, her father gave up the idea and focused all his attention on Gu Lanxi, hiring a teacher to teach her the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But after the Gu family's side branch learned about this, they would come to the house every now and then to encourage my father to adopt a child from the side branch.
The Gu family was wealthy and their business was all over Dayan. Such wealth was enough to drive people crazy. They even argued privately for a long time about whose son to adopt.
However, Father Gu has been hesitant. After all, adopting a child is a big deal, and it is difficult to avoid their wolfish ambitions. He must consider Gu Lanxi's future. After all, this is his only bloodline. If he is not careful and chooses an ungrateful person...
He kept putting off the matter until Gu Lanxi was fifteen years old. By then, Gu Lanxi had read a lot of books, had grown into a beautiful young lady, and her talent in business had begun to show.
Gu's father began to slowly hand over the Gu family's shops and properties to Gu Lanxi. Even some loss-making shops began to turn profits in Gu Lanxi's hands. Gu's father regretted countless times late at night: Why is his daughter not a boy? Otherwise, the entire Gu family could be handed over to her.
After her third uncle persuaded her father to adopt a son again, Gu Lanxi knocked on her father's door.
"Father, Lanxi is willing to take over the Gu family business. If Uncle Pang and his family disagree, I can marry him and the child will have the surname Gu."
It's not like Gu's father had never thought about this before, but most of the men who are willing to marry into a woman's family have ulterior motives. Who among the good men in the world would be willing to marry into a woman's family?
Gu Lanxi knew his concerns and continued, "It only needs the family background of the man who marries into the family to be clean. If he has other intentions, he can just kill the father and keep the son."
When she said this, her expression was indifferent, decisive and straightforward, without the slightest bit of girlish attitude, just like her style and skills in business.
Father Gu could only nod silently under her determined gaze.
The eldest uncle and the third uncle and their people had long secretly considered the Gu family's assets to be theirs.
Gu's father started from scratch and did not forget to support them after he became rich. However, people are endlessly greedy. Ever since Gu's father had no legitimate son, he began to covet Gu's family's property.
Now, after hearing the news that Gu Lanxi was planning to find a son-in-law, she actually bribed the servants of the Gu family to poison Gu's father. By the time Gu Lanxi realized it, the poison had already entered Gu's father's lungs.
Gu Lanxi dealt with the spies in Gu's house swiftly and decisively, but doctors throughout the city were still helpless against Gu's father's poison, and could only delay the disease but not cure it.
After this incident, Gu's father lost his heart towards Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu, and completely handed the Gu family over to Gu Lanxi.
One day, the shop owner heard that there was a miracle doctor in a village in Yizhou. It was said that he could cure all poisons in the world, but this doctor had a strange temper. He did not care about the consultation fee when treating patients, but only cared whether the patients complied with his temper.
Gu Lanxi found it strange, but she also understood that only a person with great talent is qualified to have such a temper.
It just so happened that Yizhou was planning to open a branch of Caiyue Tower, so Gu Lanxi decided to go there in person to invite him to detoxify her father.
"Miss, there seems to be someone there."
The driver suddenly pulled the reins and the carriage stopped abruptly.
Qiu Tong, who was sitting in the car, lifted the curtain to check the situation, and saw a vague figure lying on the road ahead.
"Oh?"
Gu Lanxi's voice was long and clear, and then he slowly got off the carriage with Qiu Tong's help.
She was wearing a simple and elegant dress and a pair of moon-white satin embroidered shoes as she walked on the dusty and muddy country road. The originally snow-white uppers were now stained with mud, forming an unrecognizable contrast with the dilapidated country road.
They were now approaching the village where the miracle doctor lived. The country road was rugged and there were lush forests on both sides.
The man was lying on the side of the road with his back to the others, and it was unclear whether he was alive or dead.
"Miss, please wait here first."
Qiu Tong protected Gu Lanxi with half of her body, fearing that there might be a trap.
Gu Lanxi ordered his servants to approach carefully to see what was going on. When they got closer, they found that the man was still breathing weakly.
"Miss, she's still breathing. She's a girl." The servant came running back and replied.
Save or not?
Several people looked at Gu Lanxi, waiting for Gu Lanxi's decision.
"Qiutong, help her into the carriage." It didn't take Gu Lanxi much time to make this decision.
If it was a man, she might have hesitated for a moment because of his different status, but he was just a girl, and she was seriously injured, so she posed no threat to them.
Qiu Tong and her maid carefully lifted the man onto the carriage, and Gu Lanxi also lent a hand. After letting go of her hand, she looked at the bright liquid left on her palm and was shocked to find that the wound on the man's body was still bleeding, and even his clothes were stained.
It was just that she was wearing a dark-colored dress, so it was hard to tell.
Fortunately, after the curtains were lowered, there were only women in the carriage, and there was no taboo. Gu Lanxi told Qiu Tong to take out the golden wound medicine and simply bandage her wound.
Gu Lanxi tidied up the man's messy black hair, and then she realized that he was actually too handsome.
Her neck was white, like the finest porcelain, her nose was straight, her eyebrows were picturesque, but her face was too pale, like crystal clear jade.
Even Qiu Tong was stunned for a while, muttering in a low voice: "She is so beautiful..."
When she applied medicine to the woman, she first winked at Gu Lanxi cautiously.
Gu Lanxi lowered her eyes and saw that the person's wounds were obviously caused by a sharp sword or a knife. Although her outer shirt looked ordinary, the fabric of her inner shirt was fine brocade.
Not only is this fabric expensive, ordinary people cannot buy it even if they have money.
"Miss, this..." Qiu Tong hesitated to speak.
It is obvious that the person they rescued is not a simple person, and they don’t know whether this person’s enemies will let it go. If they accidentally get into trouble, it will be bad if it is someone the Gu family cannot afford to offend.
"Forget it, things have come to this, let's just send the Buddha to the west." Gu Lanxi sighed softly.
It would have been fine if she hadn't saved him at the beginning, but since she had already saved him, she couldn't bear to throw him down halfway.
The golden wound medicine that Gu Lanxi carried with her was naturally of excellent quality, and the bleeding of the man's wound stopped after a while.
Fortunately, they are not far from their destination now. They can find a doctor to treat her, and when she wakes up, they can ask her to find a way out by herself.
