Han Zixuan then told her father everything that had happened that day.

Upon hearing this, Han's father was shocked. "My God, how could it be so dangerous!"

Well, since we've touched that guy's body, we have to take responsibility.

"Alright, I'll ask a matchmaker to choose an auspicious day tomorrow and have us visit the Ji family."

He had heard Han Zixuan and Shen Qingxi talk about Ji Beichen quite a bit.

Both of them praised him, so he must be an easy person to get along with!

At night, Han Zixuan held the sleeping Shen Qingxi in her arms, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.

A plan had already formed in her mind, and late at night, Han Zixuan's figure was seen moving through the streets of Mingxi County, attending meetings.

Startled, the night watchman dropped what he was holding and ran away as fast as he could!

Meanwhile, Li Chan of the Li family was angrily removing the hairpins and ornaments from his head!

"Hmph, I didn't expect Ji Beichen to be so lucky! He actually survived!"

As soon as he got off the ship, he ordered someone to keep an eye on the people from the Ji family who came to report that Ji Beichen had been safely sent back home!

With a flick of her wrist, she scattered rouge and powder all over the table! The little servant standing nearby was terrified!

Han Zixuan looked at the various bottles and jars in her hands and was surprised to find that this Doctor Liu was actually quite knowledgeable!

They really have all kinds of medicine!

She slightly curled the corners of her lips, hoping that they could also bear it, and then her figure disappeared around the street corner.

The next morning, when Doctor Liu of Baicaotang saw a bag of loose silver on the counter!

He weighed it in his hand and it was about fifty taels. He was immediately confused and then realized that he had attracted a thief!

Which thief stole from their pharmacy? Quickly, have the apprentice check all the medicinal herbs!

After a long period of work, the pharmacy staff finally said, "Dr. Liu, none of our valuable medicinal herbs are missing!"

"The quantity of ordinary medicinal herbs also matches!"

Just as Doctor Liu was wondering what was going on, he heard a young apprentice rushing over in a hurry!

"Master, Master, please go and see! There are far fewer of the medicines you made!"

Dr. Liu was shocked and hurriedly ran back to his small pharmacy.

Seeing that nearly a third of the bottles on the shelf were gone, he collapsed to the ground!

Oh no, oh no, this thief is after her!

The apprentice quickly helped his master up. "Master, what's wrong? What medicinal herbs are missing? Let's report this to the authorities right away!"

Dr. Liu, panting heavily, quickly grabbed the child's sleeve.

"No, no, if we report this to the authorities, my master's lifelong reputation will be ruined!"

This thief is truly extraordinary; he has medicine for wounds, antidotes, heart-protecting pills, arsenic, five-poison powder, sleeping potion, mind-altering incense, itching powder...

They even took away the aphrodisiac she had specially prepared for Yuejunlou!

If she reports it to the authorities, wouldn't everyone know that she's making all sorts of weird and wonderful medicines?

If people found out that she, an upright, kind-hearted doctor, was researching that kind of medicine, how could she continue to live in Mingxi County!

"Ahem, nothing happened today. No one can say anything. Our Baicaotang is operating normally."

The group of apprentice doctors could only nod and obey Doctor Liu's orders.

Dr. Liu looked at the money bag in his arms, carefully calculated it, and thought, "Well, thankfully I didn't lose money."

They'll need to add extra protective measures from now on!

The next day, Han Zixuan went to school as usual, and today was the day the Han and Ji families were to meet.

Inside the carriage, Han's father looked at Shen Qingxi, who was dressed in a light purple brocade robe and wearing a jade hair crown.

He gently patted Shen Qingxi, who seemed a little nervous.

"Qingxi, don't worry. Your father will take care of everything once we get to the Ji residence!"

Shen Qingxi pursed her lips and looked at Han's father with a puzzled expression. "Father, today you went to the Ji residence to discuss the marriage between my wife and Brother Beichen!"

Would it be inappropriate for me to go along?

Mr. Han frowned and explained softly, "Qingxi, how could you think like that? Xuan'er has gone to school now."

"You are Xuan'er's lawfully wedded husband, the one she has formally married and who has sworn allegiance to heaven and earth. How can you not go?"

Then he sighed and said, "Well, things were a bit rushed, so it's normal that you weren't prepared."

"Once we arrive at the Ji family's residence, you just need to sit quietly. I'll take care of everything else."

Shen Qingxi was still a little nervous, so to distract himself, he turned his gaze to the outside of the car window!

The Ji family was busy preparing. "Oh dear, this tea isn't very good. It's our first time visiting, in-laws, so please don't neglect it!"

I replaced the tea with my favorite pre-rain Longjing tea, and some of the pastries didn't look very appealing either.

I changed into the beautiful lotus flower pastry. Oh dear, Third Brother, why is your dress this color?

"Quickly change to a more festive color!"

The head of the Ji family looked out the door, craning his neck in anticipation. Ji Lan, who had seen him swaying back and forth yesterday, felt somewhat dizzy.

"My lord, could you please stop shaking me? If you keep shaking me like this, I'm about to throw up all the steamed buns and porridge I had this morning!"

The Ji family lord had no interest in listening to what she was saying and continued talking to himself.

"My lady, why haven't the Han family members arrived yet?"

"Are you lost? Should we send someone over to fetch you?"

He had asked his daughter about the Han family's residence, and it wasn't too far from their Ji family's residence!

Why haven't we arrived yet? Could something have happened?

Ji Lan glanced at the time outside and said, "What's the rush? It's only a quarter past Chen Shi (7:15 AM). I'm afraid the Han family is already on their way."

"Don't make a fool of yourself by acting like this, it'll make our Chen'er look like she's desperate to get married!"

After saying that, he reached for the teacup beside him and slowly began to drink.

The head of the Ji family sat down next to Ji Lan and began to mutter.

"Oh, of course we're anxious. Chen'er's marriage prospects are not going well, and he's already this old."

Han Nvjun is absolutely wonderful, as Xiaoxiao has praised her many times.

That's a truly talented woman, and I'm just worried that Ms. Han might not be willing anymore!

I won't feel at ease until these two get married!

"As long as my son is happy and well, let whoever wants to laugh at him do so!"

Compared to my son, I still know what's important!

Ji Lan raised an eyebrow and chuckled helplessly, "Hehe, I know, alright! I'll have the butler go to the door to greet them! You sit here, rest, and have some tea!"

A carriage stopped at the Ji family gate, and two men, one old and one young, stepped out!

Butler Ji hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully. Upon seeing that the young man was none other than Mr. Shen, who had come before, the man beside him must be Master Han.

"Master Han, Mr. Shen, please come in!"

Mr. Han nodded with a smile, and Butler Ji led the two to the Ji residence!

When the Ji family saw two people walking towards them in the distance, one old and one young, following Steward Ji, they quickly straightened their clothes!

Ji Lan saw a man in his mid-thirties who bore a resemblance to Han Zixuan.

This must be Han Zixuan's father, so I quickly stepped forward and gave him a greeting as a peer.

"This must be Lord Han! It's a pleasure to meet you. You must be tired from your journey. Please have a seat!"

Han's father returned the greeting with a polite smile and a few words of thanks before taking Shen Qingxi to sit down at the lower level.

She apologized, "I'm sorry, Patriarch Ji and Lord, Xuan'er went to school today."

The prefectural examination is just around the corner, so my studies can't be neglected.

So today, I, as your father, have come to discuss the marriage. I hope you will understand!
