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

Such casual words surprised everyone else.

The younger sister couldn't help but ask, "Second sister, do you have any other feelings towards your cousin?"

"What kind of feelings?" The second sister was confused.

Si Xingzhi said, "Last time, your elder sister said she wanted to send Zizhou away, and you spoke up for Zizhou, saying he didn't want to leave."

The second sister said doubtfully, "Yes, my cousin really doesn't want to leave, that's why I said that, but I think you're right too. He doesn't belong here, so why should he stay here?"

Several people looked at each other. The second sister used to be the most stubborn. She even broke up with her family for Jiang Sanlang. Why is she so free and easy now?

The second sister also reacted at this time and realized that her family actually thought that she had an affair with her cousin. She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Dad, elder sister, younger sister, I'm friends with my cousin because he's quite familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou. I just happened to be interested, and I don't have any other motives. What are you thinking?! I... am already married and have children, so how can I still have thoughts of love between men and women?"

Si Xingzhi and his younger sister both laughed out loud and felt relieved at the same time. It was good that there wasn't anything wrong, otherwise it would have been really difficult to deal with.

Si Muyan asked, "We believe you, but if you meet someone you like in the future, will you keep him?"

A trace of sadness flashed across the second sister's eyes, and she lowered her eyes and fell silent.

Just when everyone thought she wouldn't answer, she said, "When I was young, I met someone who moved me so much. How could anyone compare to him?"

Later, the younger sister quietly pulled the older sister aside and said with a pout: "She suffered so much for Jiang Sanlang, and now she still talks about being young and in love. It's really..."

Si Muyan shook her head and said, "We don't know the whole story, so why should we interfere with her feelings? Judging from her appearance, at least when she was with Jiang Sanlang, she was extremely happy. As for the Jiang family, she doesn't want to talk about it, so we should just pretend we don't know."

Xiaomei didn't say anything else. She was supposed to go inspect the store tomorrow, but because Feng Zizhou was leaving, she postponed it. She found Zhu Laoer and asked him and Uncle He to accompany Feng Zizhou to Lingnan City, and then send him to the boat and return.

Feng Zizhou did not refuse. He spent the whole day holding Xiaoxiaer and sitting beside the vegetable garden in a daze.

Xiaoxia had just learned to walk and was not yet able to walk steadily, but she kept stumbling and trying to pull out the vegetables that Si Muyan had carefully taken care of, causing Si Muyan to scream.

"Cousin! Feng Zizhou, can you please take her away?"

Xiaoxiaer was not willing to be outdone. She raised her little face and said to Si Muyan, "Auntie, you are bad!"

Si Muyan was so angry that she stepped forward and pinched her face: "You little brat, you actually said that your aunt is bad, I'll spank you hard!"

Xiaoxia giggled, rushed over and gave Si Muyan a hard kiss on the face, which made Si Muyan's heart melt.

But in a blink of an eye, Xiaoxiaer raised the seedlings in her hand and looked at Si Muyan proudly.

……

Forget it.

How could Si Muyan possibly bother with the lovely Xiaoxia'er? Naturally, he waved his hand and stuffed Xiaoxia'er back into Feng Zizhou's hands.

Feng Zizhou rubbed Xiaoxia'er's hair lovingly and said, "Xiaoxia'er, your uncle is leaving tomorrow. Will you miss him?"

Xiaoxia tilted her head: "Uncle, come, look at you."

"Look at you?" Feng Zizhou didn't understand.

Xiaoxiaer pointed at herself and said, "Look, you."

It turns out that there is no difference between you and me.

Feng Zizhou laughed heartily, hugged her and said, "But now that uncle is gone, we may not have the chance to see each other again."

Xiaoxia pouted: "Uncle, I won't leave."

Feng Zizhou said, "Uncle still has to leave, but when he returns, I can send you some things. When the time comes, I'll collect all the most interesting things in Kyoto and send them to Xiaoxia, okay?"

Hearing this, Si Muyan raised her head and refused: "Cousin, don't contact us again after you leave."

"why?"

Si Muyan shook her head: "Just listen to me. You can tell your father or your brother about everything that happened here. I don't think they will let you contact us again."

Feng Zizhou was about to say "impossible," but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them. It wasn't that he hadn't mentioned the Si family over the years. He'd been close to Si Jingyu since childhood, always playing together. After the Si family was exiled, he'd cried and pestered his father and brother several times. However, even his grandmother and mother, who loved him the most, had allowed his father and brother to punish him, forbidding him from even mentioning the Si family.

If they knew that he was living with the Si family, they would probably not only not agree to his association with the Si family, but would also scold him severely.

At this moment, Lai Di came running over: "Sister Yan, there are a lot of people outside, a lot of adults... They have surrounded our village and our house."

Si Muyan was stunned: "What's going on? Who is coming?"

Lai Di shook her head. "Those people are so scary, all of them carrying knives. We don't even dare to look at anyone else. There are a few people sitting in the hall right now, and the village head has sent someone to the school to call Uncle Si."

Si Muyan didn't dare to delay, so she stood up to wash her hands, then hurried to the hall.

When she arrived, Si Xingzhi and her second and youngest sisters had also returned. Seeing the people sitting in the room, Si Muyan was very confused because she didn't know these people.

These people's clothing was extraordinary. Not only in Songji Village, but in the entire Fenghuang County, you wouldn't see anyone dressed like this. Their wealth was so overwhelming that you couldn't even look at them.

Si Xingzhi was the calmest. He waved to his daughters, walked to the center, and knelt down to the leading man who was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old.

"I, the humble official, greet Lord Feng."

Master Feng?

Si Muyan looked at the man quietly, and sure enough, his face was somewhat similar to Feng Zizhou's, but he looked much more mature and stable. He should be Feng Zizhou's brother, but she didn't know which brother.

Without time to think about it, Si Muyan and his brothers and sisters also knelt down.

"I greet you, sir."

Feng Zizhou, who was holding Xiaoxia'er in the back, saw this and his eyes widened. He rushed over and shouted, "Brother, what are you doing? How can you let your uncle and cousins ​​kneel before you? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"

The eldest brother of the Feng family looked at him, his eyes full of indifference without anger: "I am the son of a duke, and hold the position of Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. Am I not worthy of his kneeling?"

"you……"

Si Xingzhi quickly said, "Your Excellency is worthy of the humble people's worship!"

Feng Zizhou was furious: "But, he is our uncle!"

Si Xingzhi said, "Young Master, you are wrong. Eight years ago, my entire family was demoted. I was blessed by the Emperor to have my surname not changed. I am just a commoner and cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the great men!"

Brother Feng then nodded calmly: "Well, get up."
