The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Su Qin’niang raised her head and sighed. “I’m the daughter of a clean family. After I married into the Wang family, I was worse than that lowly prostitute. On the night Wang Daqiang and I got married, I was with him till midnight and his mother came into the house to cover Wang Daqiang with a blanket.” Su Qinniang looked at everyone who was frowning and listening. She continued, “You’ve never heard of it, right? There’s such a mother and son who don’t know how to maintain boundaries. There’s something even more disgusting!”

Su Qin’niang slowly said, “Later on, Madam He even controlled when I slept with Wang Daqiang. As long as Wang Daqiang treated me better, she would call me a vixen and want to suck Wang Daqiang dry. She began to arrange the days when I slept with Wang Daqiang and stood outside the door to calculate the time. Lord, tell me, which family lives like this? Even without that wretch Wu Xu, I would have killed this mother and son sooner or later.”

Zhou Jia reprimanded in a low voice, “No matter what the reason is, it’s not an excuse for you to commit adultery and murder your husband! Have you thought about your child? If he knew that his mother had committed such a sin, would he be able to hold his head high? Have you thought about how he would live in the future?”

!!

Under Zhou Jia’s questioning, Su Qinniang kowtowed and begged with tears in her eyes, “Lord, I’m not a good mother. I’ve let him down. Lord, please don’t tell him.”

Zhou Jia looked at Madam Su with some pity. “Su Shi, I’ll instruct someone not to mention your confession in front of him.”

Mr. Qian and Scribe Tu also felt pity for Su Qinniang. What she did was indeed heartless, but the Wang mother and son had to bear some responsibility for the consequences. Mr. Qian silently walked to Su Qinniang and asked her to sign her confession.

Zhou Jia didn’t expect that there was such a secret behind Su Qinniang’s murder. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. After Su Qinniang signed the document, he said to Wang Cheng, “Take them away and go to the Wang family to inform Madam He to bring people to retrieve Wang Daqiang’s corpse. Tell the Wang family the results of the interrogation alone and tell them that I will judge them another day!”

The bailiff accepted the order and left. Zhou Jia did not feel any joy after solving the case. Instead, he returned to the back office with a heavy heart.

Li Yu, Yu Niang, and Xiaoyu were selecting corn seeds. Seeing Zhou Jia’s depressed expression, Li Yu put down the corn seeds in her hand and said, “What’s wrong? Were the criminals unwilling to confess?”

Zhou Jia shook his head and led Li Yu into the room. Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Jia and Li Yu’s backs and looked at Yu Niang. “Sister Yu Niang, what’s wrong with Master?”

Yu Niang told Xiaoyu what had happened over the past few days and said worriedly, “Perhaps that adulterous couple refused to confess and angered Master.”

Zhou Jia told Li Yu about Su Qinniang’s confession and said angrily, “Yu’er, how can there be such a shameless woman?”

Li Yu was also dumbfounded. She thought to herself that Madam He’s mentality was too twisted! The mother and son didn’t know any boundaries!

“Sigh! As the saying goes, adult sons avoid their mothers and adult daughters avoid their fathers. Madam Su was also harmed by the Wang family’s mother and son. Xiao Xi! How should your case be judged?”

Zhou Jia sighed and said, “Although Madam Su is pitiful, she killed her husband and violated the three principles of obedience and four virtues. She even used such a sinister method. Logically speaking, Madam Su will be sentenced to hanging and other torture. I’ve sentenced Madam Su and Wu Xu to death. I’ve already reported the case to the Qingzhou Prefecture and written the cause and effect of the development of the case. It depends on how the government will judge.”

“Oh! Then we’ll only know the outcome in a few days! Xiao Xi, since the case has been solved, accompany me to the farm to relax and plant the corn seeds.”

“Corn seeds? Are those the ones you guys dried in the courtyard? Why haven’t I seen it before? Where did it come from?”

Li Yu pinched Zhou Jia’s cheek playfully and smiled. “Look at you. Which one should I answer first?”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu’s smile and felt relieved. He held Li Yu’s hand and said gently, “Yu’er, let’s talk as we walk.”

“Let me tell you, this seed came from Ji Xiang, who took it from a foreigner…”

“If there’s really such a high yield? They’re not picky about the land. If that’s the case…” The more Zhou Jia thought about it, the happier he became.” Yu’er, more people will be able to eat their fill in the future. ”

Li Yu smiled sweetly and said, “Okay, let’s plant it well and try to hand it to more people as soon as possible.” The two of them returned to the courtyard with sweet smiles.

Seeing their sweet expressions, Xiaoyu and Yu Niang thought to themselves, “Madam is Master’s medicine. In the blink of an eye, the sky cleared up.”

Yu Niang smiled at Li Yu and said, “Madam, the seeds have been selected. Where do you want them?”

“There’s no need to let go.” Li Yu looked at Xiaoyu. “Xiaoyu, Master and I are going to light up some corn seeds. Are you going?”

How awkward would it be for her to sit in the cart when the two of them were so loving! Xiaoyu waved her hand and smiled. “You and Master can go. I’ll wait for Ruyi to send me back.”

Zhou Jia took the corn seeds and went to the livestock shed with Li Yu. He got into the cart and went out of the city to the farm.

It was already spring on the farm. The color of the leaves of the winter wheat had changed from dark green to green. After this, the wheat seedlings would begin to grow upward.

Zhou Jia looked at the large patch of green wheat seedlings and smiled at Li Yu. “Yu’er, I remember that you only started exploring the wasteland a year ago. I didn’t expect you to plant winter wheat so quickly.”

Li Yu raised her head proudly. “Of course. Your wife is capable!”

Yang Wei ran out of the manor and looked at Li Yu happily. “Madam, when did you come back? Why didn’t Brother Ruyi tell me? No wonder Sister-in-law Xiaoyu left for the city early in the morning.”

Li Yu looked at Yang Wei, who had grown taller. “It’s your Brother Ruyi’s fault, but have you done what I asked you to do before I left?”

Yang Wei pointed at the slope behind the manor and smiled. “Before you left, you asked me me to develop that slope! I’ve already done it. Go take a look. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied!”

“Alright, I have new seeds here. Go and call a few workers over. We’ll plant them today!” Li Yu instructed Yang Wei, “Ah Wei, remember to take good care of these seeds. If there are worms, quickly eliminate them and tell me about them.”

Yang Wei took Li Yu’s words seriously. “I’ll remember it. You and Young Master go to the slope first. I’ll go back and call the footman over.”

Li Yu nodded and went to the slope behind the manor with Zhou Jia. Seeing that the fence of the slope had been completely covered, she opened the fence door and squatted down to grab a handful of soil. She thought to herself, “The soil has become soft after we added compost. The moisture in the soil is also good. It’s just right for planting.”
