Zhang Guihua led the person into the main room, "Hehe, how is Zixuan doing in the county town?"

Han Zixuan chuckled, "It's alright. I'm currently studying at the Mingjing Hall, and there's nothing else to worry about!"

Zhang Guihua's eyes lit up. "Studying is good! Your mother was a scholar! You must be just as good."

And what you told me before has really come true!

Thanks to your reminder, our village was fortunate enough to escape disaster. On behalf of the village, I thank you!

That blizzard claimed countless lives, but thankfully Han Zixuan's reminder came through.

Their village was among the least affected by the disaster! Unlike other villages, they didn't suffer any casualties.

She was incredibly relieved at that moment!

Han Zixuan lowered her head slightly and said solemnly, "Aunt Zhang, no need to thank me. If they want to thank someone, they should thank you!"

"If I had told the villagers there was a blizzard, they would have thought I was crazy!"

I wouldn't have believed it at all, but you were different. You believed me and even encouraged everyone. So you saved everyone!

She wouldn't accept this gratitude unjustly; she didn't have much affection for this village to begin with!

The reminder was only because of Zhang Guihua's initial kindness to her and the fact that the original owner's family lived here!

Zhang Guihua nodded with a smile, "Hehe, you deserve some credit too!"

Han Zixuan had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

Instead, he got straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit: "Aunt Zhang, I've come to see you today because I'm planning to participate in the imperial examinations in February."

I need a household registration certificate from the village, so I'm here to trouble you!

Zhang Guihua was taken aback, thinking she had misheard, and then asked with a face full of doubt.

"You want to take the imperial examination?"

Han Zixuan nodded affirmatively, "You've only been in school for a short time, haven't you? Isn't it a bit early?"

Zhang Guihua didn't disbelieve or criticize her; she was just worried that she might be acting impulsively.

Han Zixuan's gaze towards Zhang Guihua softened, and she spoke slowly.

"I actually want to give it a try!"

Zhang Guihua didn't ask any further questions after hearing what she meant.

"Alright, I'll find out your family's household registration right away!"

You're a person with your own ideas; you certainly won't be confined to this small Qingshan Village or Mingxi County.

"Just one thing, Zixuan: as long as you remember that this place was once your home, that's enough!"

She could tell that Han Zixuan was no longer the same person she used to be.

She had seen that kind of imposing aura on Han's mother's face before!

However, Han's mother did not have any grand ambitions.

Han Zixuan gave her the feeling of an eagle about to spread its wings and soar.

She knew she couldn't keep her here, but she hoped that she wouldn't forget this place and could leave some possibilities for the younger generation in the village.

Han Zixuan nodded silently, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely remember Qingshan Village and Aunt Zhang."

She was willing to make a promise to Aunt Zhang. But she could turn her back on any unreasonable demands.

After all, she had encountered plenty of moral blackmail in the apocalypse! Whether she was willing or not was entirely up to her.

Obtain your family's household registration and put it in your online space.

He then planned to take Han's father and Shen Qingxi back, but unexpectedly saw a large group of people gathered in front of his carriage in the distance.

Her pace quickened involuntarily, and as people saw that it was Han Zixuan approaching, they all made way for her.

Han Zixuan then realized what was happening: a man was grabbing Shen Qingxi's clothes and refusing to let go.

Shen Qingxi's face was very pale and tear-streaked as she clutched her cloak reluctantly.

Han's father and others nearby tried to stop him from pulling the person sitting on the ground.

"What are you doing, Shen family member? Release Qingxi first!"

"Exactly! This is incredibly rude, especially during the Lunar New Year!"

Shen grabbed Shen Qingxi's clothes and wouldn't let go, so Liu Hua, who was standing to the side, had no choice but to grab the other side of Shen Qingxi's clothes.

She was afraid of touching either of the people on either side; she couldn't just touch her lord.

And this man, who claims to be the lord's father, she can't lay a hand on either.

A woman was caught in the middle, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Hmph, my whole family is starving to death, and this little hussy is dressed so well."

"He's being unfilial, so what if I pulled him? I'm his father, what's wrong with him being filial to me! Even if I report him to the authorities, I'm still this little brat's father!"

Shen Qingxi's face was filled with despair and she lost her spirit. Shen's dark hands gripped Shen Qingxi's fox fur cloak tightly and refused to let go.

The snow-white cloak was stained with dirt, and when Han Zixuan saw this, she immediately pulled out a dagger from her bosom.

The onlookers were startled and quickly scattered.

The group of people involved in the scuffle also noticed this side. Han's father and Cheng's husband were initially delighted to see that it was Han Zixuan who had come.

However, seeing the sharp dagger in Han Zixuan's hand, he was also frightened for a moment.

Han Zixuan walked to Shen Qingxi's side with a cold expression.

He gave Liu Hua a look, and Liu Hua took two steps back.

With a wave of her hand, Han Zixuan sliced ​​the snow-white fox fur cloak in two with a sharp blade.

The cape that originally reached her ankles instantly transformed into a cloak that reached her waist.

Due to the momentum, Shen stumbled and fell, grabbing the remaining half of the fox fur!

Shen Qingxi could no longer control herself when she saw Han Zixuan's face.

Ignoring the crowd around them, he rushed into Han Zixuan's arms.

With a pillar of support, she sobbed softly, "My lady..."

Han Zixuan gently patted Shen Qingxi's back, comforting her as if no one else was around.

"Okay, I'm back!"

He then coldly said to Liu Hua, "I don't want to see this happen again!"

Liu Hua lowered her head in shame and replied, "Yes, Mistress!"

Shen tripped and fell, about to start cursing, but when she saw who it was, she panicked and remembered what Liu Ning had said earlier.

She retorted defiantly, "Oh my, how shameless! Hugging and kissing in broad daylight is utterly shameless!"

He casually straightened his filthy clothes, saying, "You didn't even come over to greet your father-in-law first!"

Han Zixuan gave Shen Qingxi a sharp look, which calmed her down.

He shielded the person behind him, spoke in a cold tone, and looked around.

"Father-in-law? Whose father-in-law?"

Shen was flustered and blinked rapidly, completely forgetting that Shen Qingxi had been sold by their family.

Seeing how well Han Zixuan treats that little bitch, she must have already torn up the contract!

"Then what is he afraid of?" he said with a sarcastic tone. "Ahem, this man who married my son doesn't even want to acknowledge his father-in-law anymore."

"What a joke! Is this what people from Qingshan Village are like? I'll definitely have a good talk with your village chief later."

Shen Qingxi coldly replied, "You're not qualified to be my father-in-law!"

"You've forgotten what happened on your wedding day so quickly? Do I need to help you remember?"

Feeling guilty, Madam Shen threw a tantrum, saying, "I've long forgotten what happened. All I remember is that Shen Qingxi is my son!"

You and this little bitch should be filial to me. Hurry up, it's the New Year and our family has nowhere to stay.

"You have no clothes or food, but seeing how richly you're dressed, give me fifty taels of silver first! Don't even think about leaving without the silver."

After saying that, he turned around and reached out to grab Shen Qingxi, who was hiding behind Han Zixuan.

Han Zixuan simply twirled the dagger in her hand.

It nearly scratched Shen's hand, startling him so much that he had to take two steps back!

Not daring to do anything to Han Zixuan, he yelled at Shen Qingxi.

"So, you little bitch, you're just going to watch your dad get bullied like this!"

If I had known you were such an ingrate, I should have sold you to a brothel a long time ago!

Now that they're enjoying their good life, they think they can just abandon our family? Not a chance! He cursed at Shen Qingxi.
