Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Baptism of Wisdom

“So what if they’re young? Does being young excuse them from punishment? Then in the future, anyone who wants to do some bad deeds could just encourage children to do them. After all, even if they do them, they won’t be punished.”

Yang Ye, “…”

He raised an eyebrow, “You seem very angry.”

Qiao Xiaomai, “…after all, it was my mother who was hurt.”

He had gotten so used to arguing with people at home that he’d unintentionally taken up the same tone with Yang Ye. Damn!

He’d gotten too relaxed recently, and his mental strings were too loose!

Yang Ye didn’t seem to be angry. He nodded, leisurely sipping his soup, “You’re right, but what do you think the verdict should be now? There’s no clear course of action.”

“Well, you, Your Highness, could consider more in this regard. Actually, issues related to children are very significant. Those who secretly do bad things should be punished, like my cousins, Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi, they should be protected, don’t you agree?”

“Yes.” Yang Ye’s dark eyes flickered, his expression momentarily serious. But this seriousness quickly faded, as he turned to look at Qiao Xiaomai, “I somehow feel that the more loopholes in the ‘Daqi Law’ we fix, the more there seem to be.”

Just the issue of children that Qiao Xiaomai pointed out was enough to spark discussion for half a year, even a year.

Qiao Xiaomai laughed, “If there are lots of loopholes, then we’ll fix them all slowly. If we handle these matters well, I believe, Your Highness, you will definitely make a mark in history. The people of future generations will benefit from the laws, and your great name will be praised.”

Be remembered in history and praised by future generations?

Yang Ye was momentarily startled by Qiao Xiaomai’s words.

This was indeed appealing…

As a member of the royal family who had studied all aspects, he naturally had his ambitions. But now, because his brother Yang Hao’s position was awkward, he had decided long ago to play the part of a decadent foodie, to avoid suspicion.

Was he content?

Yes, he was.

Yang Hao was ten years older than him and had treated him extremely well. His mother had jokingly said more than once that Yang Hao seemed to be raising him as a son rather than treating him as a brother.

In addition, since Yang Hao was the crown prince, he was willing to step back.

He wouldn’t do anything that might make Yang Hao uncomfortable or suspicious.

Moreover, with his half-brother Yang Wang around, his bond with Yang Hao was all the more precious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, while he enjoyed good food, it couldn’t fill his entire world. In his idle moments, he inevitably felt melancholic and hollow.

He’d concealed his melancholy very well, until now when Qiao Xiaomai gave it voice.

Create a name in history and be remembered by future generations.

He couldn’t help but smile and said, “It’s just the revision of a law, does it really have such a great impact?”

Qiao Xiaomai bulged her eyes, nodding vigorously, “Of course it does! The importance of law is closely relevant to every commoner. For instance, as a farmer, I need an Agricultural Law, in case my land is occupied by others, based on this law, I can reclaim it.”

“I also run a business, so there should be a Commercial Law, in case there are issues like disputes or scams, there should be a law to bring justice, right?”

“Take Zhaodi and Yindi as another example, they were treated like slaves by their mother from a young age. Of course, the same happened to me, I was oppressed by the Sun Family to the point where I couldn’t hold my head high. If only there were specific laws to protect children like us from being arbitrarily commanded, hit, or yelled at, even by our family, that would be great.”
