Mo Yue followed Wei into the room and saw Rulan leaning against the edge of the bed. Although her complexion improved a lot, she still seemed to be inactive, as if she was about to faint in the next second.

Rulan signaled Mo Yue to come and sit down. Mo Yue was not polite and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"He is my second cousin, Jing Chuxi. Before I was ten years old, we still have to be good. It's a pity that five years have passed, things have changed. When we meet him again, we are here to compete for the Jingfeng Tower left by our father and mother."

Rulan remembered the past and sighed.

"This Jingfeng Tower was just a tavern without a name. My father was doing chores here at that time. My grandmother died early and my grandfather never married me. He raised his mother alone. My father and mother, one young and the other ignorant, fell in love with each other after getting along for a long time. My grandfather saw that my father was very capable, so he happily gave his mother a happy promise. Not long after, my mother got pregnant with me. In order to give us a better life, my father worked hard to study the recipe and worked diligently for ten years to get the Jingfeng Tower. When my uncle saw that his father had a successful career, he thought of getting involved with this relative. Every now and then came to Jingfeng Tower to ask for money. My father was kind-hearted and always gave it to him. But they were not satisfied, so they planned to set up this Jingfeng Tower."

"That day, Jing Chuxi coaxed me out of Jingfenglou and said that he was buying candied haws for me. I was only ten years old at the time, so I followed him. Unexpectedly, after buying candied haws, I tricked me into the suburbs and threw them on the devastated road. I am a little girl, and I don't know anything except crying. I remember that I cried for a long time, from day to night. I was very scared, but I still could only cry. Now, if Mr. Nan hadn't appeared that day and brought me back to Jingfenglou, I must have been gone."

"Uncle was planning to get rid of me. After a hundred years of my father and mother, no one inherited Jingfenglou, so he had to give Jingchuxi a cheap price. But that night I was sent back by Master Nan and told my father about this. My father was furious. Thinking of the brotherhood, he asked Uncle and the others to go as far as they could, so that they would not have to meet each other in the future."

"After this incident, less than five years later, my father and mother died one after another. On the seventh day of the first seventh, someone who should not have come came. Jing Chuxi not only came himself, but also brought a witness with him, saying that I poisoned his father and mother. I tried my best to injustice, but the county magistrate said that the evidence was conclusive and asked me to confess earlier to avoid suffering. I was not willing to do so, so I was punished and forced to take a ban."

"I survived hard in prison. I thought there was no room for maneuver, but I didn't expect that Master Nan saved me again this time. Master Nan came to visit the prison and asked me what happened. I told Master Nan about the matter in detail. A few days later, I was acquitted. The county magistrate and Jing Chuxi were thrown into prison. One was dismissed from his official position for accepting bribes and exiled to the frontier, and the other was sentenced to six years in prison for false accusation."

Mo Yue patted Rulan's hand, "Miss Lan, although I am an outsider, I think I still have to say something."

"Miss Mo is the friend of Mr. Nan, and I am also my friend."

"Miss Lan and Jing Chuxi have not seen each other for six years. Although Jing Chuxi is pitiful now, how can Miss Lan know whether he has become better or come to deceive you? Don't repeat the same mistake."

"Miss Mo said it right, but he is my cousin after all, so I can't watch him have no way to live."

Mo Yue sighed in her heart. Like Miss Lan, it sounds good and kind, but it is stupid. It's okay, so I'll help you through this disaster.

"Miss Lan, kindness is a good thing, but I hope Miss Lan will be cautious." Mo Yue said, and then patted Rulan's hand again.
