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

Mu Qingcheng thought for a while and said, "Don't rush to make a choice. Let's all sit down and listen to me." She asked everyone to sit around the table.

"I know a little about you from Xiao Hei, except for Mu Yao. I just want to ask you again, do you really not want to go home?"

Su Qingyan looked a little lonely, and then nodded firmly. Linglong only listened to the young lady, and when the young lady nodded, she also nodded.

There was no need to ask about the remaining two people; if they went home, they would be sold. So, Mu Qingcheng set her sights on Mu Yao, who was eating fruit.

"Muyao! Sister is asking you, do you know where your home is?"

Mu Yao nodded: "My home is in Nanyue."

Nanyue? Mu Qingcheng thought about it. Was it the place she knew? Unfortunately, the geography knowledge she learned was of no use here.

Xiao Hei knew that Mu Qingcheng was a fairy, not a Qi person, so he quickly explained the place Nanyue to everyone.

"Nanyue, also known as Nanzhou, was originally a very small country located between the Great Qi and Southern Yan. Decades ago, Nanyue was in civil strife, and the royal family was slaughtered overnight by rebels. Their imperial preceptor, loyal to the Nanyue royal family, fled to Great Qi and pleaded with our late Emperor Yong'an, hoping that Great Qi would send troops to attack Nanyue. The people of Nanyue were willing to submit to Great Qi.

Emperor Yong'an, feeling justified in his campaign, dispatched his troops to conquer Nanyue. The people of Nanyue voluntarily presented their letters of credence, becoming subjects of the Great Qi. To appease the people of Nanyue, Emperor Yong'an announced to the world that Nanyue was still governed by its own people and that Qi and Nanyue were one family. From then on, Nanyue was renamed Nanzhou, and Zizhou City, the former capital of Nanyue, was renamed Zizhou Prefecture.

Wow! Mu Qingcheng was surprised to hear that Emperor Yong'an was quite trendy. Isn't this "One Country, Two Systems"? Could Emperor Yong'an be a senior time traveler?

"This Nanzhou is huge. There are seven prefectures alone, and below them are county towns and villages. If you don't specify the names of the towns, it will be difficult to find them."

Mu Qingcheng asked Mu Yao again: "Sister Mu Yao is already so old, she should remember which prefecture and county she is from, right?"

Mu Yao shook her head and said, "I don't know either! My brother only said he would take me back to my hometown in Nanyue, but he was kidnapped halfway."

Mu Qingcheng didn't give up and asked again: "Sister Mu Yao, where did you live before?"

Mu Yao said, "Live in the capital! My brother and I have lived in the capital since we were young, but my brother said that the capital is not our home. It is just a temporary place to live. When we grow up, we will return to our hometown in Nanyue. So, when my brother grew up, he took me back to Nanyue."

"Then your brother didn't tell you where you are from in Nanyue?"

Mu Yao shook her head, and Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh: "Then you should know where you were abducted!"

This time, Mu Yao nodded and said, "I was abducted from Yunzhou."

This time, Mu Qingcheng was really at her wit's end. Yunzhou, she had heard from Yun Qing, was the second largest city in Qi State, located in the heart of Qi State. To get to Nanzhou, one had to pass through Yunzhou.

"What about your parents?"

Mu Yao's eyes began to evade. Under Mu Qingcheng's fierce gaze, she hesitantly said, "I can't say it. I really can't say it. My brother won't let me."

Ha! If she's not allowed to say it, then she has parents, but she grew up with her brother. Mu Qingcheng imagined a big drama in her mind. Could Mu Yao's parents be orphans of the Nanyue royal family? They sent the brother and sister to the capital for refuge when they were young, while their fathers built their careers in Nanyue.

Mu Qingcheng thought she had guessed the truth. This Mu Yao was a huge problem. If she wasn't careful, she would be labeled an accomplice to the traitor. Therefore, she couldn't let anyone know about it. She could only secretly send her home in the future and then draw a clear line between them.

Mu Yao's matter came to an end, and Mu Qingcheng turned her attention to Xiaocao and Xiangcao.

Xiaocao was already fifteen years old, but her frail frame made her look about the same age as Muyao. Xiangcao was also frail, but her eyes were determined, and she possessed a stubborn streak.

"Since everyone has their own hardships, the best we can do now is to start over. As you can see, I've already bought fifty acres of land. This is just to make it easier for you to get your household registration. Once you get your household registration, I'll divide the fifty acres among you. My brother and I will each get ten acres, and the remaining thirty acres will be divided among the six of you, giving you five acres each."

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

The ones who exclaimed in surprise were Xiangcao, Xiaocao and Linglong.

Xiao Hei didn't care. Whether he had land or not, he would follow his master in the future. It was just five acres of land, so he just threw it away.

Su Qingyan was surprised. She didn't expect that she could survive from a desperate situation and really meet a noble person.

Mu Yao ate the fruit without any concern. To her, if she had land but couldn't grow oranges, what was the point of having land?

Linglong said, "I, I, I don't want any land. Please give all my land to my young lady! Anyway, I am a slave and cannot own any land."

Mu Qingcheng felt a little envious. Look at how admirable the professionalism of these employees was. It is said that good employees are cultivated from a young age.

Su Qingyan said with great satisfaction: "Linglong, we grew up together, and I have always regarded you as my sister. Now you have the opportunity to escape from slavery and become a good citizen. With these five acres of land, you will be able to marry into a good family in the future."

"No, Miss, Linglong won't marry. What's the point of marrying? Not only do you have to serve your husband, but you also have to serve your parents-in-law and your sister-in-law's family. Which daughter-in-law doesn't suffer from the mother-in-law's torture? Men are even worse. They go out to have affairs every day, and as a wife, you can't complain, otherwise you'll be jealous. What's the point of marrying?"

Well said! Mu Qingcheng almost applauded her. This girl is so clear-headed! Mu Qingcheng and these girls received a different education. Modern people are self-centered, with realizing their self-worth as their ultimate goal. Dating and getting married are all based on fate.

Linglong's words silenced Su Qingyan and the others. They had been taught since childhood that they should marry into a good family and bring more benefits to their parents' home. If they wanted to live a good life, they had to be filial to their parents-in-law, listen to their husbands, and be good wives and mothers, supporting their husbands and raising their children. But could they really be happy this way?

"What will you do when you are old? Who will take care of you?"

As the only man, Xiao Hei disagreed. There are still many good men in this world who love their wives.

At this time, Xiangcao, who never spoke, spoke up: "Are children a guarantee? My parents loved my two brothers so much when they were alive. They never let them do any hard work. But when they got old, they were forced to go up the mountain to chop firewood. Otherwise, they wouldn't eat. Later, they were worked to death in the mountains. Parents work hard for their children all their lives, but how many children are filial to them?"

Everyone turned their angry eyes to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei: “…”, I, I’m just asking casually.

Xiangcao suddenly stood up, as if she had made up her mind. "I appreciate Miss Mu's kindness, but unfortunately, my fate is short. Even if you gave me a mountain of gold and silver, I still couldn't keep it. In the end, it still fell into the hands of my two ruthless brothers. Miss Mu is a kind-hearted person. Please accept me as well. I am willing to be your maid."

After saying this, Xiangcao knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Qingcheng. Seeing this, Xiaocao was afraid that her position would be taken by someone else, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Qingcheng.

"And me, I don't want to let my cruel father and stepmother get away with it either, so please accept me, young lady!"
