Chapter 679: Chapter 680 Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men!_1

An Jing nodded at Meng Lanqing, and only then did Meng Lanqing stride to the door to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Gong Juese entered with a beaming smile, ”What are you guys talking about, why is the door closed? It’s so secretive.”

An Jing smiled and said, ”We weren’t talking about anything special, I just closed the door on a whim.”

She trusted Meng Lanqing’s loyalty, but that didn’t mean she trusted Gong Juese. Moreover, there were some things it was better Gong Juese didn’t know about.

An Jing: ”...”

Meng Zhuqing: ”...”

Even the usually composed Xiao Changyi: ”...”

Meng Lanqing: ”...” Can’t you keep anything to yourself? I still care about my reputation!

Gong Juese, completely oblivious to the awkwardness, suddenly said, ”Right, Jingjing, my brother visited you yesterday, and since then, he hasn’t left his room. I knocked, but he wouldn’t come out. Do you know why?”

After a moment of silence, An Jing replied, ”He’s too ashamed to see anyone.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Juese immediately burst into laughter, ”He’s always been shameless, how can he be afraid of seeing people now.”

An Jing fell silent again before explaining, ”He really is too ashamed to see anyone.” She paused, then elaborated, ”Yesterday at my place, he made Youbao angry, and Youbao slapped his face. It’s quite severe.”

Gong Juese immediately exclaimed with delight, ”Really? Then I must kick his door open and see for myself. He treasures his face the most, I need to see what horrendous state he’s in now, so I can mock him!”

No sooner had the words left her mouth, Gong Juese had already turned and left the Accounting Room.

An Jing: ”...” Is this really her own sister?

Out of the corner of her eye, An Jing saw that Meng Zhuqing seemed to be eager to witness Gong Juechen’s embarrassment; An Jing: ”...”

In the end, Meng Zhuqing did not get to witness Gong Juechen’s embarrassment because he had to help An Jing and Xiao Changyi with the children.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi first had lunch at Qian Wei Tavern, then rested at a rice shop for a while. It wasn’t until the hour of Wei that An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to take a look at the Agricultural Institute of Qilin County.

All four children were brought along, but they were not taken into the Agricultural Institute. Instead, they were left in the carriage, looked after by Meng Zhuqing.

The carriage stopped right at the entrance of the Agricultural Institute.

In Xiyun Kingdom, just as there is a County Government in every county, there is also an Agricultural Institute.

Upon learning she would be conferred the title of Farmer official, An Jing had thought of taking the children and her husband into the Agricultural Institute to provoke those conservative sticklers. But now, she no longer wished to do so. Her children were still young; if those old-timers were provoked and let loose an expletive that scared her children, what then? Hence, it was better to leave the children in the carriage.

An Jing didn’t care whether she held an official title, but she was indeed very concerned about the low status of women here.

She didn’t believe she had the power to change the status of women here, but she did have the ability to show everyone— who says women are inferior to men!

What you men can do, I, a woman, can do just the same!

It was with this mindset that An Jing, hand in hand with Xiao Changyi, walked into the Agricultural Institute.
