My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

This is not Si Muyan being feudal.

But she didn't want to make trouble. How could she fight a war without preparation? The Feng family was a Duke's mansion, and Feng Zizhou was the youngest son of the Duke's son. With such status, marrying the second sister was like walking into a wolf's den.

But she was just a merchant girl, a million miles away from Kyoto. If her second sister was eaten alive in the future, it would be impossible for her to seek justice.

As for Feng Zizhou? He's just a playful guy, so how could you expect him to protect your second sister?

Impossible, Si Muyan has no confidence.

In fact, these are external factors, and perhaps they can be overcome. The reason why Si Muyan is most opposed is that Feng Zizhou is their cousin.

Feng Zizhou's grandfather was their grandmother's younger brother.

Does this count as within three generations? Si Muyan didn't calculate it clearly, but no matter what, he is a cousin and a close relative. She disagrees.

"How do you know there's something wrong with them?"

The younger sister said, "Today I saw them lying together, talking and laughing, their heads almost touching. Second sister has that kind of personality. When she sees a man, she'd like to be three miles away from him... And Xiaofang said she's seen this kind of scene every day when she's been here these past few days."

This made Si Muyan nervous. Feng Zizhou treated everyone like this, even the sixty-year-old grandfather in the village, he would help him chat. But the second sister would not be like this.

When I got home, my second sister was the only one in the living room, sitting there writing something.

The younger sister asked, "Second sister, where is my cousin?"

The second sister didn't even raise her head: "Xiao Xiaer wants to go out to play, her cousin is carrying her out to play."

Oh my goodness.

My cousin's personality is that he would tease the child for a bit, but he would always get impatient if he was asked to lead the child to play. Now he loves Xiaoxia so much, could it be...

The younger sister was extremely anxious. She looked up at Si Muyan and winked at her desperately.

Si Muyan looked at her second sister and was relieved to see that she was completely immersed in the book. It didn't seem like her second sister had any special feelings for Feng Zizhou.

She sat down and poured herself some water to drink, and her younger sister hurriedly followed suit and sat down beside her.

"Second sister, what are you writing?"

The second sister raised her head, her eyes shining, and said happily, "I was sorting out what my cousin told me today about the laws of the Great Zhou. Look, big sister, I didn't expect my cousin to be so amazing. He can almost recite the laws of the Great Zhou by heart."

The younger sister became even more anxious. It was all over. Second sister must love her cousin so much that she praised him so much. They knew what kind of cousin he was. He was lazy all day long and didn't do anything serious.

Si Muyan took the booklet and looked at it for a while before laughing: "Second sister's handwriting is the same as mine, not good-looking."

The second sister was also embarrassed: "Yes, among all the sisters, only my younger sister has the better handwriting."

"Why do you remember this?" Si Muyan asked.

The second sister said, "I saw a few books on solving cases left by my eldest brother. I enjoyed reading them, but I couldn't understand much of them, especially the verdicts. My cousin said many of them were based on current laws. I was very curious, so I asked him to tell me about the laws of the Great Zhou today."

"Oh……"

The second sister added, "I was bored all day, so I thought about doing some research."

"If you like it, you can tell Lai Qian to check out the bookshop when he goes to Lingnan City to see if there are any suitable books to bring back for you."

The second sister laughed and said, "It's good enough for him to know a few words and sign a contract. If he goes to the bookstore, he will be blind."

Si Muyan thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have money coming in a few days. I think my cousin is bored after being cooped up at home for so long. Why not let him go with me, just for fun."

"Let my cousin go?" The second sister frowned.

The younger sister was feeling uneasy. What did her second sister mean? Could it be that she really couldn't live without her cousin?

Oh my God, please don’t do that, second sister, you are confused!

"Sister, my cousin loves to spend money too much. If we take him there, we don't know how much money it will cost." said the second sister.

The younger sister was stunned.

Ah? Second sister isn't reluctant to part with her cousin, she's reluctant to part with... the money?

Si Muyan said: "It's okay, I'll talk to my cousin and only give him five taels of silver. If he wants more, I won't give him any."

Even the cheapest book would cost half a tael of silver. If he found a suitable collection of case-solving books, a set of several volumes would cost several taels of silver. With the remaining money, it was impossible for my cousin to spend it lavishly.

The second sister said happily, "Thank you, big sister. I'll go tell my cousin then."

Si Muyan waved her hand: "Okay, and, you can be serious, but you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest. You can't always hunch over the table. Now the main room is still bright, so you can't write at night. It hurts your eyes."

After the second sister left, the youngest sister asked, "Big sister, why don't you ask? What if they have something going on? What should we do?"

Si Muyan smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with them."

"But……"

Si Muyan said, "Your second sister's thoughts are all on her face. Can't you see her feelings for Jiang Sanlang?"

Xiaoxia is now ten months old, and they still often see their second sister staring at Xiaoxia and crying, obviously missing the child's father.

The younger sister muttered, "But Jiang Sanlang is dead, why is Second Sister still thinking about him? Besides, can't people fall in love with someone else?"

"It's possible that you've fallen in love with someone else. Your second sister is a stubborn person." Si Muyan said, "Don't say anything nonsense about what happened between her and your cousin. If she hears, she'll probably stay away from your cousin and never have any contact with him again. She finally found something she likes, so let her do it."

The younger sister agreed. Since her elder sister said so, she was no longer worried.

Si Muyan sat there and thought about it. She saw that her second sister's feelings were pure and innocent. She only had a brotherly love for Feng Zizhou and no other feelings at all. But what about Feng Zizhou?

She still had to find time to test Feng Zizhou.

Feng Zizhou happily went to Lingnan City, but came back covered in dust and dirt. He was depressed and stayed in his room and refused to come out.

The younger sister was worried and asked the second sister: "Second sister, what happened to my cousin?"

"Cousin? What happened to him?" The second sister was holding the new book and was completely engrossed in reading it. She answered casually and didn't take it to heart at all.

The little sister rolled her eyes to the sky.

I would worry that there is something wrong with you two.

Feng Zizhou opened the door and ran to find Si Muyan angrily: "Sister Yan, what do you mean? I went to Lingnan City and you gave me five taels of silver, and you spent three and a half taels on buying books for Sister Tong!"

Si Muyan raised his head calmly: "Really? Then there's still one and a half taels left? Give it back to me."

Feng Zizhou was furious: "Do you know the prices in Lingnan City? They're so expensive, you can't buy anything with one and a half taels! You only gave me that little money, and you're asking me for the rest?"
