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

The second sister kept writing something on paper at night, tearing it up after writing, tearing it up again, and then flipping through the collection of case-solving books that Feng Zizhou bought for her.

Feng Zizhou was really curious and asked, "Sister Tong, what are you looking at?"

The second sister looked up at him and said, "Cousin, aren't there any provisions in the law regarding the child's whereabouts? The child is the mother's, so why can't the mother take the child away after the divorce?"

Feng Zizhou pursed his lips and said nothing.

Second Sister continued, "Even the case collections. You told me they weren't real, but were made up by the storytellers. But after the conflict between the man and woman ended, there was no mention of the child's return. It was as if the child could grow up overnight without adult care."

Feng Zizhou wanted to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

Si Muyan stood by the door, looking at the two people sitting at the table inside the room. Xiaoxia was sleeping soundly on the bed behind them. It looked like a happy evening for the family of three.

But that is not the case. In this era of so much attention to detail, are these two people not afraid of what others think at all?

The second sister asked doubtfully, "Sister, are you looking for me?"

Si Muyan said, "I saw the doors and windows were open, so I came over to take a look. It's so cold, aren't you afraid that Xiaoxia will get cold?"

Without waiting for his second sister to answer, Feng Zizhou quickly said, "I opened it, Sister Yan. Sister Tong and I were reading, and we were afraid people would misunderstand us if we closed the doors and windows, so..."

"So is there something that can't be discussed during the day? Must we discuss it at night with lights on?"

Si Muyan's tone was a little harsh, and the two people in the room were stunned. Feng Zizhou subconsciously stood up and walked out.

The second sister hurriedly said, "Sister, we... are just reading."

"You're a woman, so you should know how important a woman's reputation is." Si Muyan never imagined that one day she, a time traveler, would use these same dogmas to lecture others like an old-fashioned person. But in reality, she had no choice but to do so. "Also, we grew up in the countryside, so we don't really care about rules. My cousin grew up in Kyoto, so he must know the consequences of being alone with a woman at night, right?"

Feng Zizhou's face flushed red: "I'm sorry..."

The second sister explained, "Sister, it's not my cousin's fault. I was asking him something and forgot the time."

"You should get some rest early." After Feng Zizhou came out, Si Muyan closed the door for her second sister and looked at Feng Zizhou again, "Come with me."

Feng Zizhou was brought to the front yard. At this time, everyone in the family had gone back to their rooms to rest. From here, one could still see the light on in Si Xingzhi's room, and Shao Qin's figure was dimly visible on the window, with Si Xingzhi carefully supporting her.

Si Muyan retracted her gaze and said, "My cousin has been here for more than half a year. Now that the weather is getting colder, the Chinese New Year will be here in two months. The Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions. When does my cousin plan to go back and reunite with his family?"

Feng Zizhou was stunned by such a straightforward question for a long time.

Si Muyan continued, "We don't know what's going on in Kyoto, and we can't do anything about it, but your last name is Feng, and that's your home, and that's where you should be."

Feng Zizhou took a long time to find his voice: "I... don't want to go back..."

"If you don't want to, can't you?"

Feng Zizhou remained silent.

Si Muyan said, "In the adult world, you can't do whatever you want. This isn't a place you should stay for long. I'll have my younger sister prepare the money for you. Cousin, please arrange it as soon as possible."

After saying that, she turned and went into the house. Feng Zizhou felt confused and just stood there in a daze.

Another day passed, and it was supposed to be an ordinary morning when a light rain fell, covering the earth in a hazy haze. The moisture in the air made people feel sticky and cold.

Just as the Si family members got up and were about to go about their business, a shrill cry was heard outside the door.

"Si Mutong, why are you meddling in other people's business? Si Mutong blames you, it's all your fault!"

The second sister had already gotten up and was busy in the kitchen. She was very surprised to hear the shout. She took an umbrella and tried to open the door, but was stopped by Lai Di who came to help.

"Sister Tong, the person outside sounds very fierce, please don't open the door."

The woman outside the door continued to shout, each one a little creepy, and her hands were clapping on the door again and again.

"Open the door, open the door for me!"

The second sister hesitated for only a moment, then went to open the door: "It's a woman. It's still raining so early in the morning. I have to see what's going on."

If it’s not Xiang outside the door, who else could it be?

Although Kaoshan Village and Songji Village are neighboring villages, they are not adjacent to each other, and both families happen to live at the edge of the village. It takes fifteen minutes to get there. She didn't have an umbrella and her clothes were a little thin, so she was soaked all over.

The second sister frowned. "Sister-in-law Xiang? Why are you here? Lai Di, quickly go get Sister-in-law Xiang some clothes to put on. She might get frozen."

After saying that, she quickly held the umbrella for Xiang.

Xiang pushed her away and wiped her face. The tears and rain on her face mixed together, but she didn't care.

"It's all your fault for meddling in other people's business! It's all your fault!"

The second sister stumbled after being pushed, but luckily Feng Zizhou arrived and supported her: "Sister Tong, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Xiang was like a madman, waving her arms. "Why are you meddling in other people's business? Why? You've caused my children so much trouble. Wuwuwu, if it weren't for you, how could they have been like this?"

She wanted to step over the threshold, but it was slippery due to the rain. She had walked all the way here and her shoes were covered in mud, so she slipped and fell to the ground.

The second sister tried to help but was pushed away.

"I don't want you to care about me, wuwuwu..." Xiang was too weak and couldn't get up for a long time. She just covered her face and sobbed.

"Sister-in-law Xiang, tell me what happened first, and we can figure it out together, okay?"

Hearing this, Xiang raised her head again and looked at her second sister fiercely: "Get out of here, get out of here, I don't want you to care about me, why do you care..."

When she was in a state of panic, she saw two people running towards her from afar. They were Xiang's father and Xiang's brother. When Xiang's father saw his daughter fall, he hurried over to help her.

"Aunt Qin, it's cold, and you're not well yet. Get up quickly."

The younger brother looked at his sister distressedly, stepped forward and apologized to the second sister: "I'm sorry, my sister was anxious at the moment and that's why she acted like this. It wasn't intentional to target you."

The second sister waved her hands, not minding at all, and simply asked, "Did...something happen?"

Xiangdi's face was filled with anger and resentment. Hearing the concerned question, his eyes couldn't help but redden. He clenched his fists and explained, "It's... the children are sick, that's why my sister is so worried. Don't worry, I'll take my sister back right away and will definitely not let her bother you again."

Before leaving, he looked back at Feng Zizhou and his second sister, bent down and bowed.
