The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Chapter 1788: Looking for Someone

The butler said, "They were all sent away by the villa owner. Actually... I also found it a bit strange.""Indeed!" Jian Shiqing nodded, "It’s right to find it strange because he is not the owner of Tianhai Mountain Villa Zhu Haisheng at all. If I’m not mistaken, he is that butler from back then."

"What?" The butler was momentarily stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Jian Shiqing said, "He took advantage of the owner’s trust, slowly took control of Tianhai Mountain Villa, and replaced him as the owner. The real Zhu Haisheng probably died at his hands long ago.

His true identity is the traitor of the Beiping Army from the rebellion back then and the nemesis that Ningwang Residence had been searching for many years, Fu Jian. His death was even a setup to frame Ningwang. Now, the people in Ningwang Residence staying in the villa are not to prevent everyone from running out but to get to the bottom of everything.

They want to prove Fu Jian’s identity, and I need to prove mine."

The butler was dumbfounded. This convoluted story left him in a daze for quite a while.

After a long time, he said dazedly, "Young Master Jian, what about your identity?"

Jian Shiqing sighed lightly and said, "I’ve always remembered that I am Young Master Zhu Yiping of Tianhai Mountain Villa, and Fu Jian never denied it. But apart from Fu Jian, no one can prove my identity because those who could prove it back then are no longer around.

Butler, after you arrived at Tianhai Mountain Villa, it was more than a year before they were gradually sent away. Think carefully—can you think of anyone who could still prove my identity?"

The butler pondered for a long time before saying, "Although they were all sent away, we can ask around at the farm."

Jian Shiqing frowned and said, "It’s said they were sent to the farm for retirement, but I fear they are not actually there."

"Indeed!" The butler agreed, "Since it was to cover up an identity, those crucial people are likely silenced. But no matter how meticulously done, there’s bound to be a mistake. Young Master Jian, if I could go out, I would go ask around at the farms."

Jian Shiqing thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, I’ll go with you!"

He believed that since Gu Youyou was willing to give him the medicine, she naturally trusted him as well.

With Gu Youyou’s approval, he left the villa with the butler.

Meanwhile, Jin Luoyin, not completely at ease, personally followed them.

"Commandery Princess, are you afraid I’ll run away?"

"Ha, run away?" Jin Luoyin laughed, "It’s rare for you to speak so reasonably, but I’m not following you out of fear you’ll run. I just want to help you."

"Help me?" Jian Shiqing was full of surprise.

Jin Luoyin laughed, "Yes, just to thank you for helping me find my brother back then. Even if you accompanied me the whole way and didn’t actually help. But when I first arrived at Tianhai Mountain Villa, had you not captured me back, I wouldn’t have met my brother. So, I still have to thank you!"

"Ha!" Jian Shiqing merely chuckled and then turned and walked toward the farm ahead.

Jin Luoyin kept pace with him and said, "Also, thank you for leaving a note to remind us. Fu Jian’s aim is very clear. You must have known long ago, didn’t you? That’s why you stopped our engagement."

Jian Shiqing paused for a moment but did not deny it.

This was a tea farm, and in this season, it wasn’t the time for picking tea, so the people on the farm were quite leisurely.

The key sent a message first, and upon hearing that Young Master of the villa was coming, everyone was well prepared, bringing out the best items in the farm to welcome him.
