The real daughter is really not a human being

After putting on the robe handed to her by her personal maid, Wei Zhiyun sat on the deck and immediately covered her face and cried.

"Miss Ling, I was a girl who never left the house, and I just met Master Wen at the Lantern Festival. My father and brother were with me at the time, and I was innocent. But just because of this one time, I became a shameless person in Miss Ling's eyes, trying to get my hands on your fiancé, Master Wen, and was thrown into the river by you..." Wei Zhiyun said with tears in her eyes, and sobbed a few times.

It seemed that he was about to suffocate. "…If it weren't for that little girl's rescue, I would have drowned in the river today, and I wouldn't be able to explain myself. I dare to swear to heaven that I am innocent and have never touched your fiancé. I beg Miss Ling to let me go. My father is just a small official in the court and can't afford to offend the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion..."

Wei Zhiyun's words sounded so pitiful that even passers-by were somewhat moved and felt sorry for the little girl, let alone the other girls standing on the boat.

Originally, everyone wanted to explore the love-hate relationship between these people with a mindset of watching the show. But it seemed that Ling Xiangxue was the only one who was too enthusiastic and even threw people off the boat.

Today, she was unhappy about her fiancé and dared to dump Ling Xiangxue. Maybe she could dump them for something else tomorrow!

The girls who originally did not want to offend the Marquis of Jingguo's Mansion began to waver.

The passers-by didn't care about that and started talking directly.

"My goodness, she was thrown into the river just for looking at someone else's fiancé. This girl is so domineering! If we looked at her fiancé, wouldn't we even lose our lives..."

"Hey, hey, hey, be careful. He's from the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion. Be careful."

"How can the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion be so stingy! A few years ago, Prince Shou got drunk on the street and his pants fell off, but the emperor didn't come out to beat him up. How come the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion is even more domineering than the emperor's family..."

"I heard that there is a favorite concubine in the palace in the Marquis of Jingguo's family..."

Hearing the discussions of passers-by, Wei Zhiyun lowered her head to hide the hint of pride in her eyes.

She didn't consider herself a kind-hearted person, and besides, it was Ling Xiangxue who provoked her first.

Just as Wei Zhiyun finished thinking about it and was about to use Yaoguang to make a raft again, she looked up and looked around and found that Yaoguang was gone.

Where is the person? How could such a big person be lost?

-

As early as when Yaoguang rescued the people and said those words, she took advantage of no one's attention and jumped back into the water.

Maybe it was because Yaoguang chose a good angle, or maybe it was because everyone's attention was on the bow of the boat, or more likely because when Yaoguang jumped into the water, there was no sound at all and it failed to attract anyone's attention.

She swam back to the stone steps on the river bank where she had just washed the dishes and walked up with the washed dishes.

Occasionally, some eyes would glance at Yaoguang, but she didn't care.

It was just a gray girl who fell into the water and got soaked. Several people drown in this river every year, so it's not a big deal.

Yaoguang quickly walked back to the courtyard with the bowl and chopsticks.

In the courtyard, Sun was still chatting with Wang about family matters. When she heard the creaking sound of the courtyard door and saw Yaoguang's soaked appearance, her heart suddenly rose to her throat. She no longer cared about her original thoughts of pleasing Wang and building a good relationship with her.

He stood up in a flash, rushed to Yaoguang, grabbed her hand and asked, "Yaoguang, did you fall into the river?"

When Wang saw Yaoguang's look, a hint of smile and sarcasm flashed in her eyes. She slowly walked forward and said a few words with concern, "Oh, you are washing dishes and taking a bath for yourself."

Yaoguang might not be able to understand Wang's malicious tone, but she could feel the unfriendly aura emanating from Wang.

Yaoguang didn't intend to tell her aunt about how she had just jumped into the river to rescue someone.

The old doctor said that my aunt is in poor health and we shouldn't let her worry too much.

So Yaoguang was well prepared.

Yaoguang put the wooden basin on the ground, picked up a fish from between the bowls and chopsticks, held it high up and showed it to Sun.

Jumping into a river to save someone sounds too dangerous, but catching fish is different.

"Aunt, I just caught a fish." Yaoguang looked determined and said sincerely.

The water quality of this river was pretty good, and there were a lot of fish at the bottom of the river, so she caught the biggest one.

Looking at the fish in Yaoguang's hand, Sun seemed to feel a little more at ease.

That's right. On the way to the capital, Yaoguang caught a lot of fish for her. Maybe it was because the capital was too big and there were too many nobles, so she was nervous about everything she was asked to do. What if the fish in the river were raised by someone else?

Sun pulled Yaoguang straight into the house and took her back to change clothes. On the way, she did not forget to teach Yaoguang a few words, telling her not to jump into the river to catch fish. There are people coming and going in the capital, and a girl should pay attention to her reputation outside. This is not like in the village...

As for Wang's jealous look with gnashing teeth, no one cared.

-

After settling down in the capital, Sun immediately put the matter of finding her grandson on the agenda.

After getting up early in the morning, Sun told Yaoguang a few words about the food in the pot and asked Yaoguang to stay in the house while she went to the street to inquire about the news.

"Aunt, I'll go with you." Yaoguang said.

The capital city is crowded and full of uncertainties. Yaoguang was worried that Sun would run into trouble, such as getting lost or meeting some unfriendly people.

Yaoguang had seen a lot on the way to the capital.

Sun refused outright: "No, there are a lot of kidnappers out there! They specialize in kidnapping young girls like you. I'm an old woman, worthless, and no one would want me even if I sell me."

Sun spoke to Yaoguang with a stern face, telling her about the dangers of the outside world. Then she leaned close to Yaoguang's ear and reminded her a few words, telling her where the silver was hidden in the house, and asked Yaoguang to keep an eye on the silver at home and not lose it.

After giving these instructions, Sun closed the door of the cottage and walked out of the yard with some worry.

Although Sun was uneasy leaving Yaoguang here alone, there was nothing she could do. She had to find out the way first before she dared to take Yaoguang out.

Just like what she told Yaoguang, she was afraid that when she was busy asking for directions outside, she would not be able to take care of Yaoguang and something would happen.

She had to find out the way first before she could take Yaoguang out.

Thinking about this, Sun walked in the direction she had asked Wang about yesterday.

Yaoguang sat quietly beside the bed in the room. When she was sure that Sun had reached the entrance of the alley, she took out the silver hidden at the bottom of the wooden basin, put it in her arms, and followed quietly.

She felt uneasy when her aunt went out alone.

She was also worried about leaving the silver at home.
