Female-to-male: I live on farming

"I came here to seek refuge with the head of the Gu family." Lu Youqing raised his head and looked at the graceful and noble woman in front of him.

Gu Lanxi looked at the woman in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, laughed softly, and asked back: "Just based on that sketch?" There was a hint of sharpness in his tone.

"Just based on that sketch." Lu Youqing was not frightened by her tone and still looked confident.

"That's just a rough sketch. There are no detailed steps or decomposition diagrams. How can I be sure that you can really make it? What if you are trying to deceive me?" Gu Lanxi changed the subject and continued, "Besides, that thing is not that important to me. Why should I help you?"

"I don't have the detailed drawings, but they are all in my husband's mind. Why doesn't the master of the family take a gamble? If we can't make it in the end, we will do whatever you want and let the master of the family deal with us. I think Miss Gu, who can take over the entire Gu family industry, won't be so brave as to do this, right?"

Lu Youqing then smiled and said, "The sketch I gave to the Patriarch was just my stepping stone. I just wanted to let Patriarch Gu know, but what we can do is much more than that."

Gu Lanxi held her forehead and laughed softly, but this time her laughter was filled with joy, and even the look she gave Lu Youqing was filled with a subtle admiration.

From the first time she saw her, she could tell that she was not an ordinary country girl. She had dignified manners and elegant posture, and she had a distinct scholarly air.

After a conversation, she found that she was smarter than she thought. She knew that borrowing money could only solve the problem temporarily. She knew that a man was innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. She knew this very well. Without a backer, if she escaped this time, there would be another time. Since she was asking for help, why not solve the problem from the root at once?

During the negotiation process, her attitude was always calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant. She did not lower her posture, nor did she show any cowardice or retreat, and she remained calm and composed.

If you don't have enough confidence and courage in yourself, you won't be able to do this.

Moreover, she knew how to guess her thoughts and knew how to deliberately use provocation to stimulate her and make her unable to figure out her cards, thus arousing her curiosity.

"You are very smart." Finally, Gu Lanxi narrowed her narrow and long phoenix eyes and looked at Lu Youqing.

"It's just a trifle, not as good as Patriarch Gu's insight."

Suddenly, at this moment, a woman in dark tights walked in, in a hurry, and whispered something in Gu Lanxi's ear.

After Lu Youqing saw Gu Lanxi's eyes brighten up and his solemn expression relaxed a little after hearing her words.

"It's getting late. Miss Lu, please stay here tonight and wait for news tomorrow."

Gu Lanxi ordered someone to take Lu Youqing and the other person to the guest room to rest, then he stood up and followed the woman who had just come in out. There was a hint of urgency in his steps.

After Li Nanqiao came in, she was afraid that she might say something wrong, so she stood quietly behind Lu Youqing. When her wife was talking to the elegant-looking head of the Gu family, she was so nervous that she broke out in a layer of sweat on her back.

At this time, after the maid who led the way took them to the guest room and said goodbye, she squatted in front of Lu Youqing and asked, "Madam, what did the head of the Gu family mean in the end? Is the master's family saved?"

Lu Youqing sat on the bench, feeling exhausted all over. She propped her forehead with her hand and said softly, "My husband should be back tomorrow. We will just wait for the news."

She is worthy of being the person who was able to take over the Gu family's business in the midst of a pack of wolves. This kind of bearing and intelligence are not something that ordinary people can achieve. When speaking to her, every sentence needs to be carefully considered.

Gu Lanxi, who was secretly praised by Lu Youqing in her heart, took the medicine soup from the maid's hand, blew it carefully, and made sure the temperature was suitable before putting the spoon to the man's mouth.

The man looked at her helplessly, but noticing the fatigue in her eyes, he had no choice but to drink it obediently.

The room was silent except for the crisp sound of the spoon hitting the bowl.

In this way, one person fed and the other drank obediently, and soon the bowl of bitter medicine was finished.

"Okay, Lanxi, I just have a little fever. No need to be so careful." The man reached out and grasped her wrist, smiling slightly, motioning her to get on the bed.

Gu Lanxi then waved to the outside, and the maids standing by bowed and left one by one, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Gu Lanxi stood up, took off her coat, and lay down carefully beside the man.

"You were wearing formal clothes just now. Did someone come here?" The man noticed that she was still dressed appropriately at night, which was obviously not the relaxing posture for resting.

"Well, someone just came to me for help." Gu Lanxi told the man everything that had just happened.

The slender hand under the quilt moved slowly until it touched the clenched fist of the person next to her, then she spread out his fingers and gently kneaded them, saying softly, "Don't be angry, this kind of person is not worth your anger."

Feeling the slight itch on his hand, the man held her hand in his own, and sighed faintly, "I have known for a long time that the court salary has supported such a group of parasites who act arbitrarily and disregard the court's laws, but I still feel sad."

She knew very well how rotten the court's foundations were, and no matter how much she hated it, she was powerless to do anything.

"It's okay, I've already promised her. Now that we've seen it, we'll help if we can." Gu Lanxi leaned lightly on his shoulder.

"Let Zhuifeng go with the token tomorrow morning and order the government to solve the case within a time limit and not to wrongly accuse innocent people." The man said coldly.

"By the way, what was the drawing that person sent?"

Gu Lanxi lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She walked to the desk, picked up the envelope that Lu Youqing had handed over, and handed it to the man.

The man's slender knuckles were covered with a thick layer of calluses. He took the sketch and frowned, looking at it for a long time before he asked in disbelief, "Is she sure this can be done?"

"I've asked her. I don't think that girl is from an ordinary family. She seems to be confident. Why not trust her this time?" Gu Lanxi tucked the hair around her ears and sat back on the couch with a faint smile on her face: "I knew you would be interested in this."

"If this thing can really be made, it can relieve the suffering of the people. I am becoming more and more interested in these two people."

"Then when you feel better in a couple of days, I will go to Qinghe Village with you. Aren't you still curious about how the watermelons are grown?" Gu Lanxi coaxed softly.

The man lowered his head and laughed softly, his chest rising and falling slightly due to the laughter.

He lost his mother when he was young, and grew up in a family full of dangers and intrigues. Facing countless open and secret attacks and deceptions, he had to learn to protect himself and wrap himself tightly with a tough shell. He learned to hide his true self and put on a cold and ruthless mask.

Some people fear him, some people hate him, some people are wary of him, but no one loves him.

Now he has such a woman, who embraces him with her infinitely soft and warm embrace, who will take care of him and coax him...

His dark and deep eyes were now firmly fixed on her tender and charming face. Looking at the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart. His former indifference and stiffness had long been melted by her tenderness, and his heart, which was as cold as ice, became unusually warm at this moment.
