The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 530 - 540 My Origin

Chapter 530: Chapter 540 My Origin

She was right; the metaphor successfully lightened the heavy atmosphere.

He pushed down her lifted head and her restless legs, pressing down firmly, restraining her until she was adjusted to his satisfaction and stopped troubling him.

"What are you doing?" It was too tight, she protested.

"A strong wind will blow tonight," he explained.

Nonsense, the moon was clearly beautiful tonight.

But she didn’t call him out on it.

"You’ve told me your past; let me tell you about mine," he said.

Jin Zijin’s past? Gu Youyou’s eyes slightly lifted, and she grew a bit nervous.

She hadn’t refrained from guessing his identity, but those were just guesses, not to be taken as truth.

"Go on, I’m listening. Even if it’s a trivial matter, I won’t look down on you," she said.

He smiled, "I like your mindset, you really know how to relieve your own stress."

How could she have survived in that environment without learning to relieve stress?

"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and spill it."

"Alright! Let’s start with a story. You might..."

Gu Youyou yawned, truly feeling tired. She said, "Don’t bother with stories now, tell yours later. Just get to the point. Who are you? What’s your relation with Jin Ziyuan and the Imperial Family, and what do you intend to do? Tell me clearly, so I know what to do."

Jin Zijin: "..." She was indeed direct.

Seeing that it was getting late, he nodded slightly.

"You’ve known Jin Ziyuan’s identity for a while now, haven’t you? He’s the only son of the former Prince, and we are... cousins. I should call the man who leapt from the cliff ’Third Uncle.’"

"Oh...?" So, he died because of you?

"That day was an accident; I never intended to take his life," Jin Zijin said with a bitter smile: "My relation with the Imperial Family..." He paused, then continued, "Have you heard of the Princess?

Princess?

Gu Youyou nodded and said, "I heard from my older cousin that she married into the Xiao Family."

"Exactly." Jin Zijin’s voice was low, almost as if speaking to himself, "She used my identity, the former Crown Princess Consort, gave birth to a son..."

...

Lin Qianqing hadn’t been raising mice and snakes with Gu Youyou for just a day, but every encounter with these creatures still made her feel queasy.

There was no helping it, who made her cousin have such peculiar habits? They were indeed problematic preferences.

"Eh, what kind of grass is this?"

Lin Qianqing saw some strange grass in Gu Youyou’s basket; she thought her knowledge was not bad, yet she had never seen such grass.

The grass was ice-blue, cool to the touch.

"Be careful," Gu Youyou saw Lin Qianqing pick up a plant and quickly snatched the basket containing Youying Grass, saying, "This stuff is poisonous, you can’t just touch it."

Yue Rujing did have some skills; within merely ten days, she managed to procure these items for her—though they were few, just three plants.

Of course, Gu Youyou didn’t say this in front of Yue Rujing for fear of vexing him to the point of kidney weakness.

"Cousin, what do you want with poisonous herbs?" Lin Qianqing withdrew her hand but couldn’t take her eyes off the beautiful plants.

Gu Youyou said indifferently, "All medicines are poisonous in a way; medicinal herbs are also poisonous herbs, it’s just that this particular medicine is a bit special. You, focus on your own life, and remember not to mess with them, that’s all."

"Oh!" Lin Qianqing watched as Gu Youyou crushed the herbs and put them into a medicine jar, soon squeezing out some blue juice.

After that, she started putting various other herbs into the jar to mix and mash them into medicine.

"Cousin, what kind of medicine are you making?"

She felt it was a pity to chop up such beautiful grass.
