After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Qin Yao and her daughter returned home chatting and laughing, and saw Liu Ji walking around in the yard in an angry manner.

Seeing that his wife was always very attentive, this time he not only did not take the initiative to step forward to greet her, but also looked at her and sighed deeply.

Qin Yao's good mood was instantly ruined by this look. Her face darkened and she asked in a deep voice, "Liu San'er, are you looking for death?"

Unexpectedly, the man sat down on the doorstep of the main hall and howled to the sky: "I want to die! I really want to die! Let me die!"

After hearing this, Si Niang's heart skipped a beat. Is Dad tired of living?

The little girl had just finished thinking this when she saw her mother pick up the broom by the door and rush over in two big strides.

"Want to die? Great! I'll help you!"

Qin Yao swung the broom down, and Liu Ji seemed to just come to his senses. He widened his eyes in fear, and just before the broom landed on him, he jumped up.

"My dear, I was wrong! I just said that casually, I didn't really want to die, ah——"

He couldn't avoid the broom after all. Liu Ji cried out in pain and knelt down decisively, "Madam, spare my life!"

Qin Yao snorted coldly, then put away the broom and asked unhappily, "What are you crazy about?"

She was fine when she went out this morning, but now she's acting like a slut after not seeing her for just an hour and has to ask her to have a meal with her.

Liu Ji didn't know whether it was because of the pain or what, he covered his chest with his hands, sat down on the ground, two lines of tears rolled down, and he choked:
"My dear, I am so miserable. Why is it so difficult for me to just live a good life?"

Qin Yao and her daughter looked at each other. Both mother and daughter were very shocked. Could it be that someone had cast a spell on her?

After Awang had settled the horse, he came in through the back door. When he looked up, he saw his master sitting on the ground crying. He asked in confusion, "Who died?"

"No one died, it's just that my master is scared to death." Yin Le came out from the firewood pile nearby, brushed the wood chips off his hands, took out a crumpled piece of paper from the pocket of his apron, and handed it to his master.

Qin Yao took it suspiciously, "What is it?"

"The Imperial Master's Mansion is recruiting servants to take care of Mr. Gong Liang." Yin Le answered while looking at his master with sympathy, "Master, you will know after reading the content."

Anyone who knew her master could tell at a glance that the contents were aimed directly at him.

Moreover, the timing of the announcement was very coincidental. It was just yesterday, after Wusheng was sent to the Jingzhao government office, causing a great shock in the court.

Her master really couldn't help but think too much.

Qin Yao was full of doubts. She unfolded the crumpled paper ball, smoothed it out, and looked down. There were many words densely written on it. The general meaning was that they were prepared to find a suitable personal servant for Mr. Gongliang at a high price, and the relevant conditions were listed.

Five in total.

26. Age must be between 28 and .

2. The appearance must be decent.

3. Juren and above.

4. Good at cooking, cleaning, and hard work.

5. Have a good temper, don’t fight back when you are beaten, and don’t respond when you are scolded.

Those who meet the above requirements can apply for recruitment at the National Master's Office before the 15th of this month. The remuneration is negotiable.

Ah, Qin Yao looked at the man who was sitting on the ground and was immersed in infinite sadness, then looked at the content of the recruitment notice in his hand. Except for the part about hard work and perseverance, the rest of the content really matched his expectations!

Qin Yao exclaimed in surprise, "How capable are you, Liu Ji, to let the great Imperial Master set a trap for you?" Liu Ji straightened up immediately, "Why? Am I unworthy?"

In response, Qin Yao sneered twice.

If his legs weren't so weak that he couldn't stand up, she would respect him as a man.

"But then again, haven't you been talking about going to be filial to your master? This is actually a good opportunity."

"You can see the man you've been dreaming about, and earn some money to help our family with their expenses. It's pretty good."

Why did she suddenly feel a little moved?

Liu Ji instantly became alert and stopped sitting on the ground. He got up with a grunt and stared at her nervously, reminding her weakly, "My wife, this is such an obvious trap. If I go there, I will definitely die without a burial place."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if I die, but it's a pity for the children of Si Niang. They haven't grown up yet and they've lost their father. They will be bullied by their classmates every day in school, and no one will stand up for them. They will even say they are fatherless children."

He told himself that he was miserable. The tears that Liu Ji had just held back came out again. He glanced at Qin Yao with red eyes.
"Also, my lady, when you go home in the future, there will be no one to give you hot soup and hot meals, or to serve you kindly, let alone someone to mend your clothes or help you pass the imperial examinations and win imperial decrees."

Qin Yao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she raised her hand to signal him to stop, "Stop acting, it makes me want to do it."

"Okay lady!"

Liu Ji sniffed, raised his head and blinked, his tears wiped away, and he smiled at her gently.

He raised his hand and gestured for her to sit inside.

After Qin Yao drank the water and looked happy both physically and mentally, he carefully sat down beside her and said in distress:
"My dear, it's not that I don't want to take care of the teacher, but this is an obvious trap, we can't really fall for it, right?"

"What do you mean by 'we'? It's you. What does it have to do with me? I'm not a juren." Qin Yao poured a glass of water for Si Niang, "It's hot, drink more water."

Si Niang, who was still thinking of secretly going to the kitchen with Senior Sister Le to drink sweet soup, had to run back and obediently drank half a glass of water.

Qin Yao was satisfied and waved her hand, "Go play."

Liu Ji also poured himself a glass of water. To be honest, he went out happily early in the morning. Just after he finished his sons' school affairs and was about to go home to lie down comfortably, he saw the recruitment notice of the National Master's Mansion posted on the wall at the door of his house. He was really angry.

"How is Si Niang's enrollment going?" Liu Ji asked curiously.

Qin Yao: "I didn't meet the dean today, but we also visited the environment of the women's academy together. Si Niang likes this new academy very much. I will ask about the results tomorrow at noon. There shouldn't be any problems. The requirements for students there are not high."

Liu Ji heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

"What about the Imperial Master's Mansion?" Liu Ji asked anxiously, "Madam, do you think I can go?"

Qin Yao groaned, "Are you not afraid of death?"

Who caught her just now? She started crying as soon as she entered the door. Can a man change his face so quickly?

Liu Ji coughed awkwardly twice, "Ahem, I am still afraid of death, but when I think about being able to openly enter the Imperial Master's Mansion to serve the teacher, I don't seem to be so scared anymore."

"The main thing is that since it is a dignified Imperial Master's Mansion, the reward it offers should not be low, right?"

Qin Yao laughed, "Did you decide to go for the reward?"

"No, no, no!" Liu Ji waved his hands wildly, "It's still too dangerous. I don't know martial arts. Entering the Imperial Master's Mansion is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. I will die without a burial place, my wife."

Qin Yao was getting impatient. "What on earth do you want to say? Can you please speak more directly?" (End of this chapter)
