Chapter 925 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 7

Ji Wenxuan raised an eyebrow, understanding the situation perfectly, and said, "This general's greatest skill is killing. As for saving people, you'll have to save yourselves!"

Ji Wenxuan's words surprised everyone present. Didn't he just say he wanted to help them?

Ji Wenxuan then added, "This general is only responsible for your divorce, not for saving lives!"

Seeing that Ji Wenxuan was still teasing everyone even at this moment, Xu Yunzhi smiled and couldn't help but wave his folding fan again.

The group was taken to the yamen in the border town. Upon seeing Ji Wenxuan, the county magistrate was so frightened that he stepped down from the hall.

"Why didn't you say anything when you arrived, General? I could have gone to greet you."

The county magistrate's polite treatment of Ji Wenxuan left the Da Long family, who had been forced to come, dumbfounded.

I initially thought the other party was up to something, deliberately acting mysterious, but now it seems they really are someone important.

"My lord, there is no need for such formalities. I have come here today to seek your judgment on a matter. You need not concern yourself with this general."

As Ji Wenxuan spoke, he waved to the county magistrate, while he himself sat down on the stool to the side.

The county magistrate was extremely uneasy, especially since Ji Wenxuan hadn't told him which side he was standing on.

A bead of sweat rolled down the magistrate's forehead, and he quickly wiped it away before addressing the crowd below: "Who here wishes to plead their case?"

When everyone saw the official, they knelt down. Except for Ji Wenxuan and Xu Yunzhi sitting to the side, they all shouted in unison before the woman told the magistrate the truth.

The magistrate had been observing Ji Wenxuan's expression, and under intense pressure, he finally realized that Ji Wenxuan was the woman's support.

After several seemingly fair rounds of evidence gathering, the county magistrate announced that Xiao Cui and Da Long were to divorce, and compensated Xiao Cui with one tael of silver for her medical expenses. Da Long's family was forbidden from causing trouble for Xiao Cui's family, and from secretly retaliating against them.

The Da Long family saw that Xiao Cui's family had powerful backers and knew they couldn't fight against the officials, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.

However, as they left, Da Long's family still glared at Xiao Cui and said angrily, "You jinx who can't lay eggs, don't ever come to our village again and get in my way."

The Da Long family slunk away, but Xiao Cui trembled slightly after hearing their words.

A divorced woman is legally allowed to remarry, but since she cannot have children, it is unlikely that anyone will come to propose marriage to her in the future.

Xiao Cui's mood, which had just improved because of the divorce, immediately sank back down. But then she thought, compared to the life she would have had in Da Long's family, what did it matter if she lived a lonely life?

Thinking this, Xiao Cui finally smiled, and just then, Hu Zi stepped forward.

"Xiao Cui, even if you can never have children, I'm still willing to marry you."

Hu Zi and Xiao Cui were childhood sweethearts, but because of her poor family background, Xiao Cui always refused to marry Hu Zi.

In addition, the village head didn't like Xiao Cui's family, so the two didn't get together. Later, Da Long appeared and took Xiao Cui away. Hu Zi was heartbroken and unwilling to get married.

The village head had been worrying himself sick over his son these past two years, and seeing the smile return to his face now, his heart softened a little.

"Village head."

Ji Wenxuan suddenly called out to the village head, who hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ji Wenxuan.

"Does the general have any further instructions?"

Ji Wenxuan glanced at the village head's age and figured that Hu Zi wasn't his only son, so he couldn't help but say, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The two young people are affectionate, so why doesn't the village head grant their wish?"

Ji Wenxuan's suggestion was just that, and the village head had figured it out in the past two years. He nodded immediately after hearing his words!

"If they like it, then let them be!"

Seeing that the village head did not object, Ji Wenxuan was also very pleased that he had helped bring about a marriage.

"Since everyone is interested, there's no better time than now. I'm sure the magistrate won't mind doing something else."

Xu Yunzhi suddenly spoke slowly, his meaning clear: he wanted the two of them to register their marriage with the government today.

Upon hearing this, both Hu Zi and Xiao Cui looked at each other.

"Brother Tiger, I... I can't have children."

Xiao Cui was clearly still a little bothered, but Hu Zi was overjoyed. He grabbed her hand and said, "So what? Big Brother has many sons. We can just adopt one."

After saying that, Hu Zi took Xiao Cui's hand and went into the yamen. The county magistrate heard everything they said. When the two returned, he immediately finished the matter without even blinking.

After seeing Xiao Cui and the others off, Ji Wenxuan suddenly looked at Xu Yunzhi and asked, "Why didn't you say a word the whole way? Why did you finally speak up at the end?"

Xu Yunzhi smiled upon hearing this, met his gaze, and said with utmost seriousness, "With Wenxuan charging into battle, all I need to do is look after you."

The words were somewhat ambiguous, and Ji Wenxuan's heart skipped a beat; he quickly avoided his gaze.

"I'm starving after a long day, let's go home!"

Ji Wenxuan almost ran away, and Xu Yunzhi smiled and quickly followed.

"We haven't caught any fish yet! We're not going back!"

"I'm not going. What time is it to be fishing?"

Ji Wenxuan replied, showing no intention of waiting for Xu Yunzhi.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yunzhi asked again, "If there's no fish, what will we eat tonight?"

"Eat whatever is available!"

Ji Wenxuan walked faster and faster, as if a demon was chasing him.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yunzhi was truly speechless.

He quickened his pace, leaped up, and caught up with Ji Wenxuan. Then, when Ji Wenxuan was completely unprepared, he grabbed him and pulled him back.

Ji Wenxuan was startled by his sudden movement and lost his balance, swaying to the side.

Just as he was about to fall, Xu Yunzhi quickly reached out and grabbed his waist, preventing him from falling to the ground.

Looking at Xu Yunzhi's face right in front of him, Ji Wenxuan blushed instantly, his face turning red to the roots of his ears. Xu Yunzhi was no better off; he was practically bursting with excitement.

Ji Wenxuan pushed Xu Yunzhi away and quickly took a few steps back to stand still. Xu Yunzhi also straightened his clothes.

The two remained silent for a moment in the awkward atmosphere, then said in unison, "Let's go!"

This time, Ji Wenxuan did not run away quickly, but walked side by side with Xu Yunzhi on the road.

The setting sun cast its last rays upon the two figures, elongating their shadows. The air was so warm and inviting that their silhouettes appeared remarkably harmonious.

When they returned to the residence, the guards had already grilled the fish in the courtyard. Upon seeing the two of them return, the guards hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the fish is ready. Would you like some?"

After the guard finished speaking, he saw Ji Wenxuan look at Xu Yunzhi. The sensible boy silently retreated.

"Did you have all of these prepared?" Ji Wenxuan asked.
