Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 227 Spreading rumors

He opened his eyes, but his pupils were unfocused and he stared blankly at the ceiling.

Qin Ke recalled the dream she had just had in her mind. Getting drunk at the dinner table was indeed something that happened in her previous life, but the dream disappeared when she was woken up by a phone call from her boss.

She forgot that she had had such a dream, forgot the people she met in the dream, and forgot what she did in the dream.

Until the project was completed, she received her bonus and took a year off, but unfortunately she met a psychopathic murderer while traveling and was innocently implicated.

After death, his soul traveled through time and space to this world, into this body, and then met Lu Youqing, whom he had bought.

It turned out that this was not the first time he had been in this body, and it turned out that his fate with Lu Youqing had been destined long ago.

Although Qin Ke didn't know why she came here, nor did she know what the connection between her and this body was, or why it was such a coincidence that she died in modern times and this body also happened to die of drunkenness on the roadside at this time.

Then she completely became the Qin Ke of this era.

Moreover, after he came here, he learned from his original body's memory that his original body had no idea why he bought the disfigured Lu Youqing, but the human traffickers had already paid for the goods and there was no way for him to regret it.

The original person was penniless and in dire straits for a while, and could only vent his anger on Lu Youqing. He beat and scolded her every day, did not give her food, and tied her up at home when he went out.

Until she becomes her original self again.

After thinking it all through, Qin Ke raised his head and put his hand on his forehead. Afraid of disturbing his wife who was still sleeping, he just laughed silently, his chest vibrating slightly.

It turns out it was always him, it had always been him.

He couldn't help but turn his head to stare at Lu Youqing who was sleeping soundly. His eyes were filled with love that seemed to be dripping with water. He leaned over and kissed her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth...

Like a clingy puppy, he kept pecking at her face.

Lu Youqing couldn't bear it anymore and finally couldn't help but frowned and gradually woke up from his sleep.

"Madam...Madam..."

Lu Youqing turned over, her voice still soft as if she had just woken up: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just realized that I love you so much."

Qin Ke came closer with a smile on his face, and put his long arms and legs on Lu Youqing's back, as if he would not stop until they were together.

Lu Youqing didn't know why he was so excited after waking up, and his eyes were as bright as those of the puppies at home.

After being sticky the whole morning, Qin Ke called Lei Zhong over after Lu Youqing left.

Last night he was only focused on talking about love with his wife, and Qin Ke was not going to let go of the matter of Cheng Ruoyao so easily.

What Ji Shuran and Cheng Ruoyao did should be made public. Naturally, the street vendors are the most efficient way to spread the news.

It just so happened that Lei Zhong had a group of people under his command who were most suitable for doing this kind of thing.

However, within just one day, the news that Cheng Li, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, had treated his first wife's eldest daughter harshly spread throughout the streets and alleys. It was rumored that he had allowed his second wife to treat his eldest daughter harshly, and even sold her secretly, but claimed to the outside world that she had died of a serious illness.

At the same time, many people also said that Ji Shuran was extremely vicious and that she and her daughter coveted the title and wealth of the Yongchang Marquisate, so they teamed up to kill the eldest daughter...

Those who had nothing to do with the matter treated it as a topic of conversation after dinner and as a joke.

However, the Cheng family and the Yongchang Marquis family, who were the parties involved, did not think so. As soon as they went out, people pointed fingers at them.

The most annoying thing is that when they are in court or at work, their colleagues will ask them in a roundabout way whether the news is true or not.

Especially Cheng Li. When his colleagues learned that his eldest daughter who was sold out has now become the Minister of Six Ministries, he is the most respected minister in the world.

The look he gave him again was as if he were an idiot.

This time, no matter how Ji Shuran explained, Cheng Li refused to believe her. However, things had come to this point, and he couldn't do anything to Ji Shuran.

"Guard the lady's yard. No one is allowed to approach except the people who deliver food and clothing." Cheng Li ordered the servants with a gloomy face.

The staff stood below and watched, not interfering in the affairs between the master and his wife. He waited until the servants left before taking two steps forward and saying, "Master, there are only a few people in the capital who know about this matter, and they know it in such detail. I guess..."

"Are you saying that the news was deliberately spread by the Lu family?"

The staff nodded: "It's very likely."

Cheng Li frowned tightly, as if he wanted to make a mess of it. He couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth behind the desk, and asked in a deep voice: "When I went to look for her, her attitude was obviously that she wanted to distance herself from me. Why did she suddenly spread the news?"

"I guess the purpose is more to take revenge on your wife and daughter."

As soon as he mentioned this, Cheng Li's face became even angrier. It was all that woman's fault!

"Master, please calm down. This matter is being spread all over the streets. We can use this incident to bring Lord Lu back to the Cheng family."

If you want Lu Youqing to recognize you, you must give her what she wants. In other words, Cheng Li must use Ji Shuran to seek Lu Youqing's forgiveness.

This is for Cheng Li to make a decision.

The aide didn't say it explicitly, but he guessed what he meant.

After standing there and pondering for a while, he made a decision. It was not a difficult decision for him to make. He did not hesitate for long to exchange a woman for a daughter with a bright future.

He has always been such a heartless person who only loves himself.

"Sir, please explain clearly."

"Our dynasty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. As a daughter, it is extremely unfilial to refuse to acknowledge her father. The Lord joined forces with the Imperial Censor to impeach and bring the matter to the court. He also cried and complained in court that the lady had been punished. The Lord was not aware of what happened back then and now feels regretful. Even if His Majesty favors Lady Lu again, it is impossible for him to condone her violating filial piety in front of all the civil and military officials in the court."

Cheng Li's frown slowly relaxed, and his face, which had been gloomy for many days, showed an expression of relief.

……

Three days later, an imperial censor wrote a letter in the court to impeach the Minister of Six Ministries Lu Youqing for not recognizing his father, which was a serious act of filial piety.

His Majesty's expression really darkened. He cast a deep and sharp gaze at Lu Youqing and asked in a cold voice, "Lord Lu, is what the censor said true?"

Lu Youqing took a step forward with his tablet in both hands and replied, "Your Majesty, the Imperial College's Chief Academician Cheng is indeed my biological father."

"Oh?" Jin Yang narrowed his eyes, his gaze slowly fell on Cheng Li, and said, "I have also heard some rumors in the streets recently. Cheng Qing, what do you have to say?"
