Female-to-male: I live on farming

On the way back to the mansion, Qin Ke began to observe Lu Youqing's expression subtly.

No matter how careful he was, he still attracted Lu Youqing's attention. When the two of them were almost at the gate of the mansion, he asked calmly, "What do you want to see?"

"Forehead?"

Lu Youqing paused, looked at him, sighed, and explained: "To me, he is just an acquaintance now. If I hadn't happened to meet him today, I would have almost forgotten about him."

Seeing her calm gaze, the worry in Qin Ke's heart quietly dissipated.

"What bad luck! He ruined our wonderful trip."

Seeing that he was in the mood to complain again, Lu Youqing smiled slightly: "How did my husband know that he had a new son?"

When he first saw Qi Xuan, he clearly didn't know him, but he could tell him about his family situation off the top of his head.

The arrested Qin Ke's shoulders slumped, his head drooped listlessly, and he said hesitantly: "It's... it's because you said before that you had a childhood sweetheart, so I must be curious about who the other party is, so I asked Lei Zhong to find out!"

By the end, he seemed to have convinced himself. He became more and more confident as he spoke, and his voice became louder.

It was pretty much as she had guessed. Seeing that he still looked quite 'righteous' in the end, Lu Youqing couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch his earlobe.

"He has no grudge against me. As long as he doesn't come to my attention, I don't want to bother with him. In the end, the one who has a grudge against me is only Cheng Ruoyao."

But after he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Ke's indignant expression and could see his little thoughts at a glance. He smiled helplessly and said, "Do whatever you want, but you still have to be careful."

Hearing his wife's indulgence and concern, Qin Ke smiled with satisfaction.

After the imperial examination system was put to use to select talents, Your Majesty now had people who could compete with the aristocratic families, and there were more women in the court. He immediately began to prepare to implement the new policy.

Lu Youqing was extremely busy, and even today, he had to squeeze out time to go out with Qin Ke.

Lu Youqing simply had neither the time nor the energy to deal with those personal grudges.

Or in other words, the world in her eyes is the whole world. She wants peace and prosperity, and wants to improve the status of women, instead of being obsessed with the grievances in the harem.

Dealing with her stepmother and stepsister who had harmed her in the past, and letting the Sheng and Cheng families suffer the consequences, was just a matter of convenience in her job, and she would not go to great lengths to deal with them.

This has also made things difficult for Ji Shuran and Cheng Ruoyao to some extent. They have always been worried that Lu Youqing would take revenge on them, but after waiting for a long time, they have not seen her next move and have been in a state of anxiety all day long.

Lu Youqing is open-minded, but Qin Ke is petty about this.

Anyway, it's good to cause them some trouble.

So after returning, he secretly instructed Lei Zhong to send someone to inquire about the news of Yongchang Marquis Mansion. He was very curious about how Qi Xuan would question Cheng Ruoyao after he returned.

The news came back the next day. After Qi Xuan realized what was happening, he returned home angrily. He went straight to Cheng Ruoyao's yard, sent all the servants out, closed the door, and said something unknown.

The servants could only hear intermittent quarrels and the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

When Qi Xuan pushed the door open, his face was full of anger and there were faint scratches on his neck. Cheng Ruoyao stood at the door with tears in her eyes and a look of resentment on her face.

Qi Xuan left decisively without any regrets.

After hearing what happened in their courtyard, the lady of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion called Qi Xuan over to ask him about it. When she saw that her son's body was covered with scratches from his daughter-in-law, she became even more dissatisfied with Cheng Ruoyao.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was already very famous in the capital, known for her intelligence, ability and ability to judge people.

She could see what kind of character Cheng Ruoyao had, but the marriage was already done, so she couldn't say anything. Moreover, she gave Xuan'er a legitimate son last year, and she hadn't caused any major trouble in the past two years, so she turned a blind eye to many of her things.

Now I hear Xuan'er say that there was something fishy about the marriage exchange, and that his original wife is now an important official that His Majesty relies on, even her Yongchang Marquis Mansion is far inferior to her.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang could not help but think that if Cheng Youzhi had married into her Qi family, perhaps it would be the Qi family that is so glorious today and valued by His Majesty, and Xuan'er would also be able to benefit from her and get an official position.

However, she did not think at all that if Lu Youqing entered the Qi Mansion, she would only be locked up in the inner courtyard to raise children, and would never be allowed to study or take part in the imperial examinations.

But people just have such a lucky mentality, and the wife of the Yongchang Marquis could not restrain her thoughts from thinking about this, and corresponding to this, she felt dissatisfaction and disgust towards Cheng Ruoyao.

He immediately ordered his maid to bring Cheng Ruoyao's newborn baby to him to raise personally, and sent people to guard her yard, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

When Cheng Ruoyao learned that she was imprisoned, she made another fuss, but that was a story for another time. Anyway, Qi Xuan had already moved into the concubine's room and never saw her again.

Qin Ke couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the news. In his opinion, Cheng Ruoyao deserved this fate.

But in my heart, I can't help but sigh that women in ancient times had no human rights. In addition to the viciousness of Ji Shuran and Cheng Ruoyao, my wife's experience at the beginning was ultimately because women had no human rights.

Before getting married, I obeyed my father, and after getting married, I obeyed my husband. There was never a day when I was truly free and in control of myself.

Because there are no human rights, my wife could be sold so easily by Ji Shuran; without human rights, Cheng Ruoyao would be easily taken into custody by the Qi family, her son would be taken away, and she would have to live her whole life under the control of Qi Xuan.

Qin Ke was very happy to see Cheng Ruoyao get her retribution, but this retribution also made him feel a little depressed.

His unhappy expression was too obvious, and Lu Youqing saw it at a glance during the meal, but she did not ask immediately. She waited until Yueya fell asleep and they were the only two left in the bedroom before asking.

"Did something happen today?" Lu Youqing knew that Qin Ke had heard the servants report about the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion today, and thought that something had made him unhappy.

Qin Ke sat cross-legged on the bed, face to face with Lu Youqing. Without hiding anything, he expressed his inner thoughts after hearing the news.

He didn't organize his words, and some of his words didn't make sense. He just said whatever came to his mind.

After he finished speaking in one breath, Lu Youqing did not speak for a long time.

Qin Ke raised his eyes and saw her amber eyes, which were as firm as a rock and were rippling with tiny, star-like ripples. The look she gave him was gentle and bright, as if all the starlight gathered in her eyes, shining brightly.
