And today, the reputation of the Han family was thrown to the ground and trampled to pieces by Han Baoqin.

Han Zhengqing could no longer act as dignified as before.

Moreover, Cui Mi was the dean of the prestigious Zhengrong Academy, and he was not someone that a family head from a remote town could afford to offend. Didn't he see that even the city lord wanted to curry favor with him? So he was very sensible and chose to ignore the fact that Cui Fu, who was beside Cui Mi, had mentioned this to him.

However, his spineless appearance made Cui Mi quite displeased. His pampered daughter actually married such a person? Just thinking about it made her heart ache! Cui Mi said coldly: "Han Zhengqing, I am Yue Niang's father. I already know everything you did to Bao Luo. What do you have to say now?"

If he confessed with tears, for Bao Luo's sake, he would have no choice but to accept this son-in-law.

Otherwise, don't blame him for taking Bao Luo away directly!

After hearing Cui Mi's words, Han Zhengqing stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.

He glanced at Han Baoluo with a complicated look in his eyes, "I... have nothing to say."

Cui Mi almost jumped up and slammed the table. This Han Zhengqing really refused to repent! He was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently several times. His anger was barely calmed down by Han Baoluo's comfort.

"Let me ask you, how did you and Yue Niang know each other?"

How did you know each other? Thinking of how he and Yue Niang met, Han Zhengqing couldn't help but look dazed.

After coming to his senses, he found a place to sit down. "At that time, the Han family was not as powerful as it is now. It was just an insignificant small family in Lang City. One day, I made an appointment with a friend to go hunting in the mountains. As a result, it rained halfway. I panicked and looked for a place to hide from the rain, and found a cave.

"Not long after I went in, a girl covered in blood stumbled in. She was Yue Niang. After seeing me, Yue Niang seemed very alert, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. It was obvious that she wanted to kill me. But then she gave up for some reason."

Hearing this, Cui Mi couldn't help but interrupt: "Nonsense, Yue Niang has been quiet and kind since she was a child, how could she want to kill you as soon as she met you?"

Han Zhengqing did not argue with him, but said: "Yue Niang was holding a sword in her hand, and the sword was dripping with blood. Judging from her dress, it seems that she had just been in a fight with someone.

"After entering, she threw me a bottle of medicine and asked me to apply it to her. After applying the medicine, she sat aside and meditated, seemingly practicing breathing exercises. The rain stopped in the middle, but I didn't dare to leave past her, so I had to stay in the cave.

"When Yue Niang woke up, it was already two days later. I handed her a roasted pheasant and asked her if she wanted to eat it. She took it and then asked me a question."

Having said this, Han Zhengqing paused.

Shen Yizhi discovered that this person was truly a master storyteller. His stories were realistic, solid, and full of suspense.

Han Baoluo couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"

"She asked me if I wanted to revive the family. She could help me, but the prerequisite was that I would marry her and give her the title of the principal wife."

Cui Mi's heart was shocked and his face was full of confusion.

Why does it feel that the woman Han Zhengqing described is so different from the Yue Niang in his impression? What happened to Yue Niang after she disappeared? Han Zhengqing smiled bitterly: "Although she was in a mess at the time, her appearance and temperament were unique. I agreed to it for some reason, thinking that she might have some feelings for me.

"Unexpectedly, on the night of our wedding, she told me that she was pregnant and that she would not be a real couple with me. If I wanted to have a child, I could find another woman."

Everyone in the pavilion: "..."

I never expected that things would turn out like this!

Originally, several people thought that Han Zhengqing was a complete scumbag and a scumbag father! They had already nailed him to the pillar of shame.

So he told them that he was a father? Then his actions were understandable, right? Among them, Han Baoluo was the most shocked.

She never expected that she was not Han Zhengqing's daughter.

"Who is my father then?"

Han Zhengqing said, "I don't know either. Your mother didn't tell me. After we got married, we slept in separate rooms. A few months later, you were born. But your mother was in poor health when you were born. After that, her health deteriorated day by day. She died when you were six years old.

"But she did fulfill her promise. When she was alive, she did her best to help me revitalize the Han family, making it one of the most important families in Langcheng. After she passed away, I took the Luo mother and daughter into the mansion. As for moving you to that remote little courtyard, it was your mother's idea."

Han Zhengqing dropped another bombshell! "What? My mother's idea? How could she..."

Han Zhengqing sighed, "I don't understand either. She said that only if you stay in that yard can you grow up safely. She also told me not to interfere in your affairs."

He looked at Han Baoluo with a sincere look: "Baoluo, although I am not your biological father, I have watched you grow up. At the beginning, I didn't really believe what your mother said. In addition, you were too young at the time. How could I bear to let you live in that small courtyard alone? "But later you got seriously ill and the doctors were helpless. I had no choice but to send you there. Who knew that after you entered that small courtyard, you really got better."

Han Baoluo also remembered that at that time she was lying drowsy in the big yard that originally belonged to her mother, but when she woke up, she was in that small yard.

That little yard was really shabby. The roof leaked, the walls were drafty, and there were rats crawling around at night.

She was very scared at that time and felt that she was abandoned by her father, so she burst into tears.

Who knew there was such a secret inside.

For a while, no one spoke in the pavilion.

Cui Mi and Han Baoluo were both digesting what Han Zhengqing had just said.

Shen Yizi was lost in thought. She felt that maybe she had not traveled through time, but had traveled into a book, a novel whose heroine was Han Baoluo.

Her biological mother, who had an extraordinary background, died when she was very young, causing her to live a miserable life. She was constantly tortured and framed by her stepmother and her stepmother's daughter. Originally a delicate and lovely girl, because of the poisoning, she grew fatter and fatter, and could no longer control her temper, becoming hideous.

Now she has become thinner and prettier, and she has severely slapped the face of the vicious stepsister who once stepped on her. Then, her grandfather with extraordinary status came to visit her. From then on, she had a big backer.

The identity of the biological father remains a mystery.

This trend is definitely the usual routine in fantasy novels where the useless female protagonist counterattacks and becomes powerful.

Next, she should break up with her former scumbag fiancé, and while becoming stronger step by step, she will look for her biological father, right? And the male protagonist——
