Female-to-male: I live on farming

It turned out that it was the eldest uncle of the Gu family who secretly instigated people to cause trouble at Caiyue Tower, saying that his brother had severe abdominal pain and foamed at the mouth after eating the food in the restaurant.

Then the man brought his brother's body to the entrance of Caiyuelou and made trouble, demanding an explanation from the owner of Caiyuelou. He also spread the word that the food in Caiyuelou was poisonous, which led to the government closing down Caiyuelou and the owner of the restaurant was taken away.

At one time, all the shops of the Gu family were affected one after another, especially Uncle Gu who bribed the prefect.

The family of the deceased did not agree with Gu Lanxi's request for a coroner to perform an autopsy, but the prefect ignored them and spoke very much in favor of the victim. He even wanted to make a direct conclusion and attribute the cause of death to the food in the restaurant.

Coincidentally, Uncle Gu and Uncle San Gu launched an attack directly at the Gu family ancestral hall, believing that Gu Lanxi had no ability to take over the Gu family's business and wanted to divide the Gu family's shops from her.

I heard that Gu Lanxi has been running around and is very worried during this period.

But Father Gu is still recuperating in bed, and everyone knows that his health has deteriorated.

Compared with Uncle Gu, it is not difficult for a young and unmarried girl to choose who to support.

It was the frame-up by relatives and the prejudice of the world that made Gu Lanxi's life difficult.

After reading the information that Zhuifeng had found out, Jinyang's face darkened, with a cold light in her phoenix eyes. Zhuifeng sensed the chilling aura from her and couldn't help but lower his head even lower.

"Go and remind the prefect that investigations must be conducted impartially. If he can't do this well, he can just retire and return home."

"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, Zhuifeng asked in a low voice, "When will Your Highness leave?"

"After this matter is resolved."

Gu Lanxi didn't know why the prefect who had been arrogant and indifferent to her suddenly changed his attitude. Not only did he become extremely kind, he also took the initiative to let the coroner perform an autopsy to clear Caiyue Tower's name.

After the autopsy, the coroner proved that the man died of arsenic and not poisoning from the food in the restaurant. The man who falsely accused the Gu family was beaten with twenty sticks and sentenced to two years in prison.

Caiyue Tower was able to reopen, and Uncle Gu shut up and had nothing to say.

Gu Lanxi, who finally got a break, slept soundly. Qiu Tong, knowing that her young lady had not had a good rest for several days, did not wake her up.

It was not until Gu Lanxi woke up naturally that Qiu Tong brought warm water into the room to help her wash up and said, "Miss Xiao sent a message early this morning saying that she wanted to talk to you about something."

"She also specifically told me to go when the young lady is free."

Gu Lanxi raised her eyebrows slightly. This was the first time that the other party took the initiative to send someone to ask to see her.

She had a simple breakfast and then walked towards Jinyang's yard. The yard where she lived was not far from Gu Lanxi's yard.

Jinyang sat in the pavilion in the courtyard early in the morning to make tea. He picked up the teapot slowly and pressed his wrist slightly. The water swirled and poured down, making a light sound like snow hitting the wall of the cup.

The tea leaves are like young bamboo shoots, light green and uniform, turning in the boiling water like swimming fish. The water gradually turns green, a faint fragrance rises, and the thickness and height of the water column change in an orderly manner. The white line flowing out of the pot rises and falls three times, and finally breaks cleanly.

This set of movements is neither fast nor slow, yet dignified and graceful, extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Now that you're here, please sit down." Jinyang nodded slightly at her.

After that, he handed a cup of warm tea to Gu Lanxi. The cup was filled with smoke, which made Gu Lanxi's eyebrows and eyes look like a painting.

"Good tea!" Gu Lanxi took a sip and slowly put down the teacup. "Miss Xiao, what do you want to see me about?"

"Actually, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but I saw you were busy, so I put it off until now."

Gu Lanxi suddenly guessed what the other party was going to say.

Sure enough, the next second.

"I am saying goodbye to Miss Gu today. My family has come to visit me, so it's time for me to go home. Thank you Miss Gu for taking care of me while I was recovering at the Gu family."

Even though Gu Lanxi had a guess, she was still stunned for a moment, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. Finally, she smiled and said, "Your injuries have healed greatly now, and it is indeed time for you to go home. So I wish Miss Xiao a safe journey."

"Then I also wish Miss Gu great prosperity."

The two toasted together.

Jinyang's departure was silent and did not cause any waves in the Gu residence, just as she rarely went out in the past two months. Many people in the mansion did not even know that such a mysterious woman had lived in the mansion.

Only Gu Lanxi felt a little lost when she learned that Jinyang had left.

Gu Lanxi's life was the same as before, but after his father's poison was cured, as Hua Lao said, his health was not as good as before and his energy was limited. So he completely let go and handed the token of the head of the family to Gu Lanxi.

Sometimes when she had some free time in the afternoon, she would think of the woman who was making tea and playing chess in the backyard, and as she thought about it, she would unconsciously walk to the courtyard where Jinyang had lived.

But as time passed, she thought of Jinyang less and less, and sometimes she even felt as if she could no longer remember her face.

That was just a brilliant and mysterious passer-by who flashed by in her life, Gu Lanxi thought silently.

Until a year later, when she thought she had forgotten Xiao Ji, she came to her again.

"Master Gu, please come in."

Gu Lanxi glanced at the woman guarding the door of the VIP room, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The other party had obviously investigated her whereabouts long ago and knew that she would come to Caiyue Tower for inspection today, so he waited here in advance.

With a creaky sound, Gu Lanxi slowly pushed the door open and saw the elegant and luxurious woman sitting in front of the window.

She was wearing a dress made of white palace satin that looked like snow-white silk clouds, and her black jade-like hair was tied up in a simple bun. She looked dashing and heroic.

She looked towards Gu Lanxi, her beautiful eyes full of brilliance and a faint smile on her lips.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Gu Lanxi also curled her lips slightly and said softly: "It's been a long time since we last met, but this time when we meet again, should I call you Miss Xiao or Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Jin Yang raised his hand again and poured her a cup of tea. His expression did not change at all in response to Gu Lanxi's interrogative question: "It seems like you already knew? When did you guess it?"

"Your every move shows that you are not an ordinary woman. You were assassinated, but you can shoot arrows through the target from a hundred steps away. I had no intention of investigating. Until the Gu family was in trouble, someone helped them behind the scenes. Afterwards, I accidentally asked the prefect about it, but he was very secretive and only said that it was someone from above."

"Heh," Gu Lanxi laughed with a slight self-mockery, and continued, "There aren't many people above us who can make the prefect so fearful. Plus, I sent people to the capital to inquire, and I heard that the princess hasn't shown up for a long time, so it's reasonable for me to make such a bold guess."
