A husband found in the village? I bought a regent for a penny!

The letter contained only two lines of text.

The second line reads, “After my death, you will immediately move your entire family away, which will delay your future. It will be too late to regret this. I can only try my best to make amends and help you make a comeback to realize your ambitions, so that you can live a worry-free life for the rest of your days.”

Gu Xixi's hand, which was holding the letter, fell limply to her side.

So this was Mu Nanzhao's suicide note left for her?

It turns out he had planned everything out in advance.

Looking back now, perhaps he had already made arrangements for his affairs on his way home after being poisoned.

Gu Xixi crumpled the letter into a ball and turned to look at the remaining items in the bundle.

The banknotes, valid nationwide, were marked with the price of one hundred taels of gold.

One hundred taels of gold, when converted into silver, would be enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

And there wasn't even a count of how many of these banknotes there were.

After transmigrating into the book, Gu Xixi wanted to realize her ambitions while making money, and making a lot of money.

But she can't be happy about her sudden wealth.

Gu Xixi squatted there for a while, then suddenly threw the crumpled letter into her bundle.

She hastily rolled up her bundle, stuffed it into her crossbody bag, and left.

Ah! man!

Ha! Mu Nanzhao!

What gives him the right to make arrangements for others just by asking?

After going around in circles, they've come up with some kind of riddle-solving scheme involving a gyrfalcon, which then leads to someone solving it and receiving a legacy.

Does he find this funny?! That's ridiculous!

Gu Xixi walked very fast, wishing she could get home immediately and scold that self-righteous man to wake him up!

Fortunately, there weren't many people wandering around the village at this time.

Gu Xixi wasn't seen by anyone on her way there and back.

Hearing another knock on the door, Shi Tou, now more experienced, said, "My sister Xi Xi is sick. She just fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet. You can talk to me if you need anything."

"It's me," Gu Xixi replied. "I'm back."

Shi Tou ran over excitedly to open the door, "Sister Xi Xi!!"

Gu Xixi smiled and patted Shitou's little head, "Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job."

After saying that, she composed herself and headed straight for the west room.

Shi Tou picked up Xiao Hua and clicked his tongue, "Xiao Hua, did you see that? Is Sister Xi Xi angry? She was smiling when she was talking to me just now, but suddenly she changed..."

He mimicked Gu Xixi's expression, "It's like this."

Little Flower glanced at the stone, was startled, struggled to jump to the ground, and ran away.

Stone said sympathetically, "I don't know who offended Sister Xixi, but it certainly wasn't me."

These past two days, the old doctor has been staying by Mu Nanzhao's side, taking a nap whenever he has a spare moment.

He had just woken up when he heard footsteps. He sat up from the makeshift bed. "Xixi? Is that Xixi?"

"It's me, Master, you're awake." Gu Xixi replied quickly, already standing by the bedside.

Even though the old doctor couldn't see, he could sense that Gu Xixi was approaching with a strong aura of anger.

"Xixi, there's something..."

Before the old doctor could finish speaking, Gu Xixi had already grabbed Mu Nanzhao's clothes on both sides and said angrily:

"What gives you the right to make decisions about my affairs?"

"Why should I move just because you tell me to? Why should I listen to you just because you tell me to use your money to make a comeback? You used to easily manipulate other people's lives, and I thought you would be different this time."

"And yet you still do things your own way, never considering other people's feelings!"

"Let me tell you, once you're dead, I won't follow a single one of your plans!"

Although the old doctor standing nearby didn't quite understand, it didn't stop him from being greatly amazed.

What was "the past", and what is "you this time"?

Has this Xiao Chen ever killed anyone in the past? He doesn't seem like it.

Upon hearing the last sentence, the old doctor finally found a way to speak, "Xixi, my good apprentice?"

"You don't have to wait for him to die now."

Gu Xixi was taken aback and immediately stopped focusing her attacks on Mu Nanzhao.

"What do you mean by 'we don't need to wait for him to die'?"

She was so angry that she couldn't think straight for a moment.

The old doctor pointed to the bed and announced with a smile, "I'm telling you, Xiao Chen, the poison has been neutralized, he's cured! He won't die!"

Gu Xixi was stunned for a moment, then realized something and stiffly turned her head, only to meet a pair of familiar eyes.

Mu Nanzhao was still lying there, but his eyes were open, and he looked at Gu Xixi with an inscrutable expression.

Gu Xixi froze, hearing herself say, "He's awake?"

The old doctor beamed with joy, "You're awake! I was just about to tell you that."

Well, it wasn't in time.

Gu Xixi: "You didn't become a vegetable?"

The old doctor said, "No, he just spoke. I gave him some water."

Gu Xixi was already gritting her teeth, "When did you wake up?"

The old doctor said innocently, "It was shortly after you left, after Old Qian came to deliver the eggs."

Gu Xixi revealed a chilling smile, her tone so gentle it seemed to drip with tenderness.

"Do Auntie and Stone know?"

The old doctor finally sensed the dangerous atmosphere in the air.

He stood up with a dry laugh, carefully walking sideways to avoid Gu Xixi. "I know everything. As soon as Xiao Chen woke up, I took his pulse and told the whole family the good news. It's a pity you weren't there then."

"It all happened so coincidentally just now that I didn't have a chance to explain it to you clearly..."

The old doctor moved like a crab, taking a step sideways after each sentence, and by the time he finished speaking, he was already at the door.

"I'm too tired lately, I'm going back to catch up on my sleep. Xixi, you and Xiao Chen have a good chat!"

Mu Nanzhao watched helplessly as the old doctor fled on his own.

Helplessly, she looked away. "Xixi, I..."

Gu Xixi looked at him, her smile becoming even sweeter (and more frightening), "Since you were awake a long time ago."

"You must have heard everything I just said while you were pretending to be asleep, right?"

Mu Nanzhao was forced to meet Gu Xixi's gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Looking back on his life, he had never been this nervous, not even when he was poisoned or being chased and hiding.

"...I heard you."

Gu Xixi's smile vanished instantly. She looked at him coldly and took something out of her bag.

I threw them onto the bed one by one.

"This is a letter from your bird, and this is your baggage. Keep it safe!"

Without looking at Mu Nanzhao's expression, she turned and walked away, but stopped at the door.

A glimmer of hope rose in Mu Nanzhao's eyes, but Gu Xixi did not turn around.

All I could see was the cold indifference etched on the half of her face that I could see when she turned to the side.

"Take good care of yourself and get well soon."

"From now on, you only need to worry about your own path to success. My future and this family are none of your concern."

"Gu Xixi!" Mu Nanzhao finally couldn't help but speak up.

He felt an intense pain in his chest. "Do you mean we should go our separate ways?"

"Yes." Gu Xixi replied with only this one word, and then stopped.

No matter what, Gu Xixi firmly believed that she should take control of her own destiny.

She tried her best to cultivate the land in this book.

He made efforts to manage his relationships with Mu Nanzhao and other related individuals.

She was born to be a supporting female character, so that her ending wouldn't be controlled by others.

After Gu Qingye left Huachidu Village, Gu Xixi thought she had succeeded.

But the stack of silver notes in the package was like a blow to the head.

This made her suddenly realize that she had not completely escaped Mu Nanzhao's arrangements without her noticing.
