A figure rushed into the yard, crying out, "Mother, Father, please don't sell me! I promise I'll work hard from now on!"

The figure was none other than Shen Qingxi, the female lead's white moonlight.

Han Zixuan could only see the person's slender back and not their face.

Mrs. Shen frowned, glanced at him, and Mr. Shen roared, "Hmph, who told you to come out? Da Ni, take your brother inside!"

Among the Shen family's daughters standing to the side, the fattest one stepped forward.

He lifted the person up with one hand, as if he were carrying a sack.

Han Zixuan was taken aback. Was the fat man strong or was Shen Qingxi too light?

Shen Qingxi couldn't break free; her face turned ashen, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she instantly stood up straight.

Han Zixuan was also able to see Shen Qingxi's face clearly.

He looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. His skin was fair, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his eyes were as bright and clear as cold stars, yet they revealed despair and melancholy.

Her nose was straight, and her lips were like cherries, naturally red. A red mole on her forehead, like cinnabar falling on snow, gave her a touch of allure amidst her cool demeanor.

However, her figure was rather thin, and the outline of her bones could be faintly seen in her slender wrists.

Han Zixuan couldn't help but think to herself that being the "white moonlight" wasn't for nothing.

Even she was somewhat tempted, and after pushing Shen Qingxi away, Shen's father gritted his teeth and said.

"Ms. Han, we are, after all, related by marriage, so I, your uncle, will just tell you the truth."

If you're willing, we can sell Qingge'er to you directly. From then on, Shen Qingxi will be a member of your Han family.

"Whether you want to fight it or sell it is up to you, just add another two taels of silver, how about that?"

Han Zixuan frowned and hesitated. This didn't seem to match what was written in the book!

Shen Qingxi's parents are clearly people who only care about profit.

They didn't care about Shen Qingxi's life or death at all, and she could see that.

And couldn't the female lead, who could become the top scholar in the imperial examination, see that? Also, it seems that Liu Jingyao comes from a wealthy family in Qingxi Village.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have supported her through more than ten years of private schooling.

If Liu Jingyao really had feelings for Shen Qingxi, she would have been perfectly capable of rescuing him.

There's no need to wait until he becomes the top scholar to come back and find him. It's strange, could there be other hidden chapters in this book?

Forget it, never mind. Putting everything else aside, she definitely won't get back the twenty taels of betrothal money.

He had promised her father he would marry her, and he couldn't afford to lose both his wife and his army. As for Shen Qingxi...

I can't bear to do it, I'll talk about it later!

After quickly figuring it out, Han Zixuan frowned, looking helpless.

"Alright then, let's do as Mr. Shen says! My Han family will sell them out!"

He then pulled a silver bracelet out of his pocket, but actually took it out of his spatial storage, and looked at it with a pained expression.

“This is my father’s dowry, so let’s use it to settle the debt!”

When Shen's father saw the silver bracelet, he was overjoyed; he knew at a glance that it was a valuable item.

This jewelry is so exquisite, it must be worth far more than two taels of silver.

He accepted it with a smile, "Haha, good, good, wife of the child, quickly ask the village chief to write the indenture."

He couldn't suppress the smile on his face; he had sold much more money than expected.

Add to that the money they've saved over the years, and it should be enough to get all three daughters married!

Soon, Han Zixuan looked at Shen Qingxi's indenture in her hand and sighed.

A unique feature of ancient times: buying and selling people was not illegal!

As he tucked the paper into his pocket, he saw Shen Qingxi being pushed out by the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

She stumbled and almost fell, but luckily Han Zixuan caught her, otherwise she would have definitely fallen hard.

Seeing Shen Qingxi dressed in a thin gray cloth, which was covered with patches upon patches.

She couldn't help but ask, "Where's the wedding dress my father sent? Bring it here!"

How could they just go back like this? Father Shen still wanted to get away with it.

The wedding dress that Han's father sent was truly a fine piece, embroidered with many beautiful flowers.

He felt it was a waste to give the clothes to Qingxi, and planned to keep them for his eldest daughter's future husband as a dowry, which would certainly be more respectable.

Hearing Han Zixuan's questioning tone, he took the clothes out again, somewhat indignant.

He was genuinely afraid that the Lady of the Han family would threaten to dismiss him again. He didn't want to part with the money he already had!

We already have plenty of money; there's no need to make a huge fuss over a wedding dress!

Shen Qingxi carefully accepted the wedding dress and secretly glanced at Han Zixuan.

He quickly lowered his head and went to his room (the woodshed) to change his clothes before following Han Zixuan onto the mule cart.

Although there were some delays, I made it home relatively smoothly.

Mr. Han had been waiting anxiously for some time, but his expression softened slightly when he saw the group arrive.

As she approached, she saw Han Zixuan and asked softly, "Xuan'er, did something happen? Why did it take you so long to come?"

Han Zixuan saw that her anxious father did not hide anything, after all, the wedding procession was present and they all knew!

"Father, something's happened. We just arrived at the Shen family's house to pick them up, but who knew they would ask for more money!"

"..."

Han Zixuan told her father everything!

Han's father felt a tightness in his chest from anger. "The Shen family is truly despicable. Humph, since that's the case, then we're no longer related by marriage."

Han Zixuan quickly comforted him, "Yes, Dad, don't be angry. It's getting late. Do you think we should start the feast now? The villagers are getting impatient!"

The round trip took more than two hours!

Han's father also realized what was happening and said, "Oh, then let's hurry up and complete the wedding ceremony, and then we'll have dinner!"

Soon, the living room of the Han family was filled with people, and Han Zixuan felt a little embarrassed.

What should I do if my mom is a little inexperienced at getting married for the first time?

Cough cough, and no one gave her time to adjust to the rehearsals. She completed one kneeling after another while listening to the village chief's singing!

Then they entered the bridal chamber, where Han Zixuan led Shen Qingxi into the room.

There were only two people in the room. Han Zixuan lifted the veil off Shen Qingxi's head.

Shen Qingxi's delicate, fair face appeared before her eyes.

Her bright eyes were filled with tears, making her look very pitiful.

Shen Qingxi lowered her head nervously and shyly, and Han Zixuan took a deep breath and said.

The original owner of this body must have been a terrible person to die such a miserable death in the book.

How could you lay a hand on such a lovely person? You'd better stay away from her.

Otherwise, she would definitely make her understand why the flowers are so red.

Shen Qingxi spoke softly, pulling Han Zixuan back to her senses, "Wife... Mistress!"

His parents never considered him a member of the Shen family.

He had been working non-stop since he could remember, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being sold!

Although Han Zixuan's reputation isn't very good, selling to Han Zixuan is the best outcome for him!

He overheard his mother and father's intention to sell him to a brothel or a slave market.

He was extremely grateful to Han Zixuan for buying him.

"Thank you, my lady. I will definitely serve you well after I buy you!"

With a firm and stubborn look in her eyes, Han Zixuan quickly waved her hand, "No...no, I had no choice. I can't get the betrothal gifts back from your family!"

And I never intended to treat you as an object!

As he spoke, he pulled out the indenture from his pocket and tore it to shreds in a few quick movements.

Shen Qingxi looked on in disbelief.

Han Zixuan spoke again, "Now you are a free person. If you are unwilling, or if you already have someone in your heart."

You can leave; I won't stop you or pursue the matter!
