It turned out that he had traveled to a dynasty that did not exist in history, the Kingdom of Jiang.
The original owner was also called Han Xiao. He was the eldest son in the family. The Han family was well-off. Han's father, Han Mingyuan, passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of 20. He was very famous at that time.
The clan had high hopes for Han Mingyuan, but unfortunately he failed the exam three times in a row, so he gave up the idea of taking the exam again. Relying on his title of scholar, he became a teacher in a private school.
After Han Mingyuan failed the college entrance examination, the Han family focused their attention on Han Mingxiu, Han Mingxiu's half-brother, who also showed a talent for studying since childhood.
Han Mingxiu was quite capable. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 22. Although it took him two years longer than Han Mingyuan, he succeeded in the provincial examination this year, which was something no one expected.
This provincial examination was just for him to gain some experience and accumulate more knowledge. Unexpectedly, he passed it this time. Although he was ranked last, he did pass it, right?
Ever since Han Mingyuan stopped studying, the family's conditions have become increasingly difficult. At first, because he was a scholar, his family gave him some face. Later, when Han Mingxiu also passed the imperial examination, everyone placed their hopes on Han Mingxiu.
Although the Han family had some property, it was still difficult to support these two people in their studies. This was also the reason why Han Mingyuan stopped taking the exam.
The original owner had no talent for studying since childhood, but was interested in some strange things. Han Mingyuan asked the original owner to help his mother take care of household affairs. Although they were poor, they could get by.
Ever since Han Mingxiu passed the imperial examination, his mother became arrogant and belittled Han Mingyuan in every word and in every way.
Han Xiao was young and hot-headed, and sometimes he would talk back when he heard his grandmother talking about his father. As a result, his grandmother spread the news to everyone, and accused Han Xiao of being unfilial. At this time, Han Mingxiu would come out to plead for Han Xiao.
As time went by, all the neighbors knew that Han Xiao had a bad temper, was disobedient, and talked back to his elders, while Han Mingxiu gained a good reputation for protecting his nephews and nephews, and loving the elderly and children.
The original owner was injured this time because Han Mingxiu took a fancy to a jade pendant on Han Xiao and said he wanted to borrow it to have a look. However, although the original owner was young, he knew that he might never get it back after lending it out.
The two men were arguing, and no one knew what they said. Han Xiao started fighting, and then Han Mingxiu accidentally pushed Han Xiao to the ground. Unexpectedly, he hit a stone and died.
When he woke up again, he was Han Xiao in the 21st century.
Han Xiao touched the big bump on the back of his head and sighed in his heart. Since God let him come here, it was also a chance for him. After all, he earned it. It was a pity for the original owner. He hoped that he could be reborn into a good family in the next life.
As for the original owner's parents, he will take care of them, ensure they live a worry-free life, and provide them with care and support until the end of their lives. This can be considered as a way of repaying the original owner's kindness in borrowing his body.
Looking up to meet Han Mingyuan's worried gaze, Han Xiao's voice was slightly hoarse: "Father and Mother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Han Mingyuan burst into tears when he heard this. He just patted Han Xiao's shoulders lightly a few times and said nothing more. He felt that he was incompetent and it was wrong for him to let his wife and children suffer such a great injustice.
Thinking of this, Han Mingyuan's gaze became more determined. Looking at his wife with a haggard face and his weak eldest son, he decided to make the clan give him an explanation this time.
He had been teaching in the town for many years and didn't know much about the situation at home. He thought that as long as he handed over all the tuition, his stepmother would be nicer to Chunniang and the others. He didn't expect that she would treat his wife and children so harshly.
Han Mingyuan asked Han Xiao to lie down and continue to rest, then he reminded him a few more times not to let anyone come in to disturb Han Xiao's rest, then he got up and left.
Han's mother was timid by nature and would do whatever her husband said, but as a mother, she was strong. This time, since her father-in-law had suffered so much, she would never let her mother-in-law in again.
Han Xiao watched his father leave. Although he didn't know where he was going, he guessed it was related to him. The most important thing now was to take care of his health first. This feeling of being out of breath was really too terrible.
Looking at Han's mother's red eyes, Han Xiao's heart moved. He could feel the concern of Han's father and mother.
"Mom, I'm fine. You can go and rest first."
Han's mother shook her head and pressed the quilt down on Han Xiao again. It was already late autumn and she was afraid that Han Xiao would catch a cold.
"Mother is fine, but you suffered this time because mother failed to protect you."
As he said this, he touched Han Xiao's head.
Han Xiao's heart ached, and tears welled up in his eyes. He wondered if it was the feelings of the original owner still lingering in his body. "I was careless, mother, please don't be sad. Look, I'm fine, aren't I? I'll be fine in a couple of days."
Neither the mother nor the son mentioned Han Mingxiu's matter, because Han Xiao knew that Han Mingxiu was a man of deep thoughts, and this time the original owner was caught off guard and was given an excuse to accuse him.
I'm afraid that if others tell others about what happened today, they will think that the original owner is disrespectful to his elders and unreasonable, while Han Mingxiu got away with it.
