The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Mu Qingcheng sat down again and faced Fang Bo seriously. She cleared her throat and imitated the way the political teacher did when he was doing ideological work on them, even deliberately pushing up her glasses.

"Mr. Fang, where is the farthest place you have ever been?"

Fang Bo was stunned. He didn't understand what she meant by "Classmate Fang". He lowered his head awkwardly when she asked, "I, I have only been to Qingle County."

Mu Qingcheng knew about Qingle County. Qingle County was considered a border fortress of Northern Qi. There were border garrisons there, and it was considered the largest town on the border. Fangjia Village was very close to Qingle County, only five or six miles away.

Mu Qingcheng continued to ask: "Mr. Fang, do you know where the farthest place in the world is?"

Fang Bo was at a loss for words. He could not read much and had never been to school. Books were too expensive and his family could not afford them.

His face flushed with embarrassment: "I can't really say, but when we were little, my dad told us that the farthest place was called the End of the Earth."

It seems that Fang Bo's father might be a scholar. Mu Qingcheng was very satisfied with his answer. She made a gesture of pushing up her glasses and continued to persuade him.

"Let me tell you, the world is so vast it has no end. Have you ever heard that there are mountains beyond mountains and seas beyond seas? You could spend your entire life reaching the end!"

Of course, Mu Qingcheng would not tell him that the earth is round.

"Even this vast and boundless world is not as big as our hearts. Our hearts can hold everything in the world. As long as you see it, it can all be contained in your heart. Therefore, the bigger your heart is, the bigger your world is. Could it be that in your whole life, your heart only holds the distance from Fangjia Village to Qingle County?"

"So, young man! It's time to go see the world! When you've experienced everything, seen all sorts of things in the world, traversed mountains and rivers, and explored all the mountains and rivers in the world, you will realize how insignificant you are! The hardships you've endured and the difficulties you've faced are as insignificant as dust in the face of heaven and earth, not worth mentioning!"

Mu Qingcheng's words shocked Fang Bo's worldview. His original heart collapsed and shattered into slag at that moment. Beneath the crumbling ruins, a seed took root, sprouted, and grew rapidly, instantly becoming a towering tree.

Fang Bo's spiritual world was awakened, and in an instant he seemed like a different person: "The bigger your heart is, the bigger the world is... Can I really go and see it?"

"Why not?" Mu Qingcheng continued to pour out her inspirational words: "You are just worried that no one will take care of your younger siblings, but they have grown up, and are getting older every year. They have their own paths in life. Does that mean that your younger siblings don't need to get married and you have to take care of them for the rest of their lives?"

"And the money you're worrying about isn't a problem at all. Anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem!"

Fang Bo listened and didn't refute. Since his father's death, no one had considered his situation. They all thought it was his duty to take care of his younger siblings. But who had considered his future path in life?

The fire in his heart finally burned into a raging fire. Miss Mu was right, money was really not that important.

"So, do you want to come with me?"

This time Fang Bo did not act stubbornly, he nodded heavily.

Fang He, who was waiting outside the door, did not chase Ximei. He stood at the door and listened to the two of them talking. When he saw his brother nod, he finally shed tears of joy.

Mu Qingcheng was very satisfied. Was being a psychological counselor also a skill?

"That's right! You have to remember that it's your responsibility to take care of your brothers and sisters. But you have to make yourself strong first, so that you can protect their safety throughout their lives."

Fang Bo was so excited that he couldn't speak. He nodded twice heavily.

Was he persuaded just like that? Mu Qingcheng walked out of the guest room, still in disbelief. She was so full of chicken soup that it was stuck in her throat, but in the end, it was useless!

When she looked up, she ran into Fang He, who was standing where she had just eavesdropped on their conversation. Both of them were embarrassed and didn't dare to say hello.

"Well, little classmate, come here, I have something to ask you." Teacher Mu was addicted to doing ideological work today.

The two walked to an open area, and Fang He nervously bowed deeply to Mu Qingcheng.

"Miss Mu, I, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I, I just have nowhere to go."

"Nowhere to go? Didn't you go chasing Ximei? Why don't you go home and take a look?"

On Fang He's thin face, only a pair of big eyes remained. He said with his eyes wide open: "That is not my home. As long as she is here, I will never set foot through that door."

His furious look aroused Mu Qingcheng's curiosity. It seemed that her business as a psychological counselor was good today!

"Little classmate, tell me why? What happened?!"

Fang He hesitated to tell Mu Qingcheng about this, as it was their family affair. However, the unbearable, aggrieved, and angry light in his eyes kept flashing.

Mu Qingcheng wanted to pat Fang He on the head to comfort him, but she realized that Fang He looked quite thin and tall, and they were almost the same height. She had no choice but to silently withdraw her hand.

"Is it because of your sister? What did he do to you?"

When Ximei was mentioned, Fang He finally couldn't help but say, "She is not my sister!"

"You mean, she's not your biological sister, and you have no blood relationship with her?"

Fang Bo paused for a moment before nodding. Sure enough, this was exactly what Mu Qingcheng had expected.

"My mother picked her up in the mountains when I was only three years old. She was only a few months old when she was picked up, and she was only wrapped in a piece of rag."

In this era of male chauvinism, it's common for many girls to be abandoned in the mountains at birth. No one would pick one up and raise it, as most people would consider it unlucky. In some places, people even believe that the firstborn girl in a family is a sign of bad luck, and throwing her away would ward off the misfortune. Anyone who dares to pick up such a baby girl would be picking up a bad luck star.

"My father also advised my mother not to raise her, but my mother felt sorry for her and insisted on raising her. My father had no choice but to follow my mother's lead."

"Before, although our family wasn't wealthy, we were still able to get by. My father made a living by hunting in the mountains, and we always had enough to eat and wear. However, ever since Ximei came, our family has never had a peaceful day.

First it was my mother, because Ximei was always crying, crying day and night. She had seen many doctors, but they all said that she was just too weak and didn't have enough to eat.

My mother nursed her carefully for over six months before she gradually got better. But for unknown reasons, she suddenly developed a strange illness. She felt dizzy every day and was too weak to get out of bed. My father took her to many doctors, but none could find the cause, saying it was simply from overwork. He said two doses of medicine would be enough, but she took them for two years, and her condition showed no improvement. Instead, it worsened, and she eventually passed away.

As the young boy spoke, tears glistened in his eyes.

"My father was very sad. Ever since my mother passed away, he started to become depressed. Every day he either drank or was in a daze. Sometimes he would lie in bed for three days and three nights without eating or drinking."

"At the time, my eldest brother was only seven, I was five, and she was three. He cooked for us on a stool. When there was no rice at home, he went from house to house doing odd jobs in exchange for rice to feed our family. Even so, we had no food to eat and were often hungry."

Tears finally fell from the boy's eyes: "My eldest brother has been following our great grandfather to the mountains to hunt since he was eight years old, and his days have finally stopped suffering.

But my father suddenly stopped eating and drinking at this time. No matter how much we begged him, he refused to eat a single bite. And so, he passed away within a few days.

In fact, the moment my eldest brother brought back his first prey, the light in his eyes faded. I knew his heart was dead. If he hadn't been so attached to us brothers and so afraid that we would starve to death, he would have followed my mother long ago."

The young boy's tears fell. Mu Qingcheng felt bad inside. How much disgust did this person have for the world to be so cruel as to starve himself to death? If he could endure such torture, then the torture he felt deep down must be a hundred times worse.

Why? Mu Qingcheng didn't want to know, but now she wanted to uncover this secret. Even if it was to give the Fang brothers' father an explanation, a belated justice!
