Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Han Qi, you stay at home tonight and don't let what happened last night happen again; Lei Zhong, you go to the melon field at night to prevent someone in the village from destroying it; Nan Qiao, pack up and go to the city with me later."

When Lu Youqing stood at the door, she had regained her original composure. She arranged everyone's tasks in a clear and orderly manner. If it weren't for her tightly pursed lips that looked a little pale and her hanging hands that were slightly curled up, no one would have noticed her inner anxiety and restlessness.

Several people went their separate ways. Li Nanqiao pulled out the donkey cart and helped Lu Youqing onto it before asking, "Madam, where are we going?"

"Let's go to Caiyue Tower." Lu Youqing lowered the curtain and said softly.

Li Nanqiao also jumped on the cart, cracked the whip, drove the donkey cart out of the village, and asked, "Should we go to ask Manager Song to borrow money? Will he lend it to us?"

"No, let's go find him and ask someone."

Li Nanqiao couldn't guess what she was thinking, but her long-standing habit made her subconsciously believe her. When passing by the village, many people saw their donkey cart and pointed at them, wondering if Lu Youqing wanted to run away with the money.

Li Nanqiao didn't want those gossips to reach his wife's ears, so he cracked the whip hard and increased his speed, leaving only a cloud of flying dust behind.

However, when Shopkeeper Song saw Lu Youqing, his expression froze for a moment before he smiled and invited her in.

Lu Youqing did not miss the momentary hesitation on his face. After she entered the room, Shopkeeper Song showed a regretful and sad expression and said, "I have heard about Brother Qin's affairs. Madam Qin, don't worry."

"Since Shopkeeper Song has heard about it, he should know that my husband had dinner with you last night, so the murder has nothing to do with my husband."

Shopkeeper Song sighed and said, "I know that, but Brother Qin has been targeted by the government. What's the point of me knowing that?"

Lu Youqing was not surprised by his answer. When she first met Manager Song, she saw that he was a man of some ability, but he was also a slick person who was used to protecting himself.

"I didn't come here to ask you, the shopkeeper, for help in using your connections. I just remember that Shopkeeper Song said last night that the head of the Gu family would arrive in Yong'an Town tonight. I'd like to trouble you to tell me where the head of the Gu family is staying." Lu Youqing took two steps forward and knelt down to him.

This was a gesture of pleading, and Shopkeeper Song knew it.

"This..." He opened his mouth in embarrassment. He was reluctant to refuse the other party, but without the master's consent, how could he dare to tell the other party the master's whereabouts.

Lu Youqing knew his dilemma, and stood up to explain: "Manager Song, I am not deliberately making things difficult for you, but my husband is in a difficult situation. You just need to take me with you to pass on the message. Whether you want to see me or not will depend on the opinion of the head of the family."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Song was still hesitant, Lu Youqing continued, "Don't worry, I am the one who signed the supply contract with Caiyue Tower. Even if something really happens to my husband, it will not affect the supply of watermelons."

Shopkeeper Song remembered that the restaurant still needed their watermelons, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded. Before leaving, he reminded them with concern: "Let's make it clear in advance. I can't guarantee that the master will see you. If the master doesn't see you, don't bother him!"

"Naturally, Shopkeeper Song is worried."

It was already late at night when they went out, and there were sparse stars hanging in the dark sky.

Li Nanqiao drove silently behind Shopkeeper Song, going further and further away, with fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, until the carriage stopped outside a quiet and elegant villa.

Li Nanqiao had never known that there was such a majestic and magnificent courtyard in their Yong'an Town. He was indeed worthy of being a wealthy businessman who was in charge of countless businesses.

She didn't have time to sigh in her heart, and hurriedly helped Lu Youqing out of the car.

"Manager Song, why are you here?" The guard outside the door frowned when he saw the person coming and asked sternly.

"Well, please inform me that someone wants to see the head of the family."

Li Nanqiao helped Lu Youqing get closer to them. This was the first time she saw Manager Song being so humble.

"The master of the family has just arrived and needs to rest. If you have anything to say, please come back tomorrow." The guard's tone was a little impatient. There were so many people who wanted to see the master of the family every day. If the master of the family met everyone, he would be very busy.

"Big brother, I know that Patriarch Gu is very busy, but I really need to see him for something urgent. I have a gift for him. Why don't you present it to him? Then he can decide whether to see me. This way, he won't have to spend much time. What do you think?"

Lu Youqing took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the guard.

"Yes, big brother, it doesn't take much time for you to deliver a letter, so please help." Li Nanqiao took the opportunity to plead.

The guard saw that Lu Youqing was thin and swaying unsteadily in the night wind, and felt sympathy for him. He thought it was just a letter and it would not take much effort, so he nodded.

After watching him take the envelope and turn into the villa, Lu Youqing let out a breath without leaving a trace.

After waiting for a long time, the man finally came back. He looked at Lu Youqing strangely, then turned to Shopkeeper Song and said, "The master of the family ordered you to go back first. If there is anything, the master will contact you again."

Shopkeeper Song bowed hurriedly to say goodbye. Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Youqing with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He knew that the master had ordered him to leave first, and leaving Lu Youqing behind meant that he agreed to meet her.

What on earth was it that she had sent in that made the master of the house agree to see her? Shopkeeper Song didn't know.

"Come in with me first, but the owner is busy now, you need to wait a while."

……

Gu Lanxi sat beside the bed, holding a handkerchief in her hand, gently wiping the sweat from the forehead of the person on the bed.

The tenderness and worry in her eyes were about to drip with water, and her gaze was always fixed on his pale and soft sleeping face.

Seeing that his breathing had finally stabilized and his body temperature had returned to normal, I finally felt relieved.

"Master, the medicine for my son-in-law has been prepared." A maid in a pink dress walked in with her head bowed, and spoke in a low voice into Gu Lanxi's ear.

Gu Lanxi placed the handkerchief in her hand in the basin she was holding and whispered, "Keep it warm first, and bring it to him after he wakes up."

"Yes, Master, isn't my son-in-law's injury healed? Why is he still having a fever?"

“Although the wound has healed, it will take a long time for the body to recover. He is still working hard and thinking about it every day. How can it be healed so easily?” Gu Lanxi felt a little distressed, but she couldn’t stop him.

"By the way, Caidie, is the man named Lu still waiting?" Gu Lanxi remembered that when the guard reported just now, she was worried about the person on the bed and was about to chase him away, but she saw what the guard presented.

"Go back to the master, she is still waiting in the living room."

"Then let's go, follow me and see why she is here." Gu Lanxi first gently stroked the temples of the person on the bed, then stood up.

When he reached the door, he specifically reminded her: "If the son-in-law wakes up later, send someone to notify me immediately."

"Yes, master."

When Gu Lanxi walked into the reception room, he saw a woman sitting upright in a chair. She had a dignified posture, and a hint of coldness in her indifference. Her skin was whiter than snow and creamy, and her facial features were delicate. However, only a tiny scar on the side of her cheek ruined her beauty.

When Lu Youqing heard the footsteps, he quickly stood up and bowed to Gu Lanxi, saying modestly, "I hope Master Gu will forgive me for disturbing you so late at night."

Gu Lanxi had been on the road all day today, and just as he arrived beside his partner, he suddenly had a fever. After arranging things without stopping, he stayed by his side.

After waiting for his fever to subside, she finally had some free time to rest. So after entering, she sat on the main seat and got straight to the point: "First, tell me why you came here so late at night?"

Lu Youqing saw that she looked tired, so he didn't waste any time and told her everything about Qin Ke.

"So you came to me to borrow money?" Although Gu Lanxi knew that this matter was absurd, he had seen many such things. The court was full of corruption and absurd things.

"No," Lu Youqing looked at her and shook his head.
