No wonder he was pinned to the ground and beaten, he deserved it!

"How could you hit a little girl? Have you apologized to her?" asked Mrs. Ji.

Seeing that Xu Yi didn't say anything, Madam Ji got angry and pointed at Xu Yi with her eyebrows raised: "What did I teach you every day? Where did you learn the etiquette? Your uncle Wei has only this one daughter, and she has suffered for many years. Even if you don't greet her with a smile, you can't hit her..."

Mrs. Ji scolded Xu Yi so harshly that he felt ashamed.

If it were an ordinary girl, he really wouldn't do such a thing. But that little girl was not an ordinary person. Even if he explained, her mother wouldn't listen to him. It was really embarrassing.

Mrs. Ji scolded her son, but she was not satisfied, so she forced her son to apologize to Yaoguang.

Even though Xu Yi was reluctant, he nodded and agreed.

On the other side, Yaoguang was in the flower hall, looking at the flowers planted on both sides and studying their varieties. The ladies in the flower hall were also looking at Yaoguang.

Since they were brought here, they must be the children of officials. Although they are dressed simply and have no red hairpins or jewelry on their heads, their demeanor is elegant and graceful.

Not everyone judges people by their clothes. Of course, what is more important is the maid who accompanies Yaoguang. She should be the first-class maid in the Xu family.

Immediately, a nosy girl came up to chat with Yaoguang and asked where she was from. Yaoguang just said that she was from home. When asked about her family background, she only mentioned that the elder in her family was surnamed Wei, and the girl didn't say anything else.

There are several officials with the surname Wei in the court. The one who was invited to this banquet hall and treated so well today must be from the family of Lord Wei, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace.

As for Wei Shiyuan's Wei, they also thought about it. They heard that the two families had just called off the engagement, so they should avoid suspicion in such occasions. In addition, Yu did not enter the flower hall, but took her daughter to the back garden, which made them think that the Wei family really did not come.

So everyone tacitly agreed that Yaoguang was the daughter of Wei Daxueshi. Although she was a little taciturn, her manners were very good. If not from Wei Daxueshi's family, then who else could she be?

In the blink of an eye, everyone spread Yaoguang's identity until someone really came to Wei Daxueshi's house.

Wei Zhiyun walked into the flower hall and met a girl she was familiar with.

"Zhiyun, there's a new girl in the flower hall. She's said to be surnamed Wei. Is she from your family?" asked the friendly girl.

What girl surnamed Wei, saying she was from her family? She wanted to see who was so bold as to pretend to be from her family in such an occasion.

Wei Zhiyun angrily looked in the direction her companion pointed, glanced at Yaoguang from a distance, and her eyes immediately lit up! Isn't this the girl she has been looking for?

The little girl who pulled her out of the river when she fell into it that day!

Wei Zhiyun immediately stepped forward excitedly and greeted Yaoguang: "Miss, do you still remember me?"

Yaoguang turned around and glanced at Wei Zhiyun: "Remember."

Wei Zhiyun immediately said with tears in her eyes while holding the handkerchief: "Since that day, I have been looking for you and miss you so much. I didn't expect to meet you here today. I am very happy..."

"Zhiyun always remembers the lady's life-saving grace. I heard that the lady's last name is Wei, it's really..." Fate

Before Wei Zhiyun finished speaking, Yaoguang said calmly, "My last name is not Wei."

Ah, not Wei! Wei Zhiyun was slightly stunned, but her expression soon returned to normal. Her friend would not lie to her. Even if her surname was not Wei, she was related to someone with the surname Wei in the capital.

Wei Zhiyun continued to chat with Yaoguang, trying to get something out of her.

But Yaoguang was very tight-lipped and nothing could be said about her. Even if she wanted to give him a gift, Yaoguang would just say it was a piece of cake that day and she would save anyone.

In desperation, Wei Zhiyun had to tell Yaoguang her home address, hoping that Yaoguang would come to find her later.

Regardless of whether the girl's surname is Wei or not, Wei Zhiyun feels that she is closely related to the Wei families in the capital.

I saw her wearing a coarse cloth dress that day. Even though she changed into a dress today, it didn't look like a blue skirt with a silk collar. I guess she wasn't living well in the mansion.

Her father is an important official in the court after all. If she invites her father to come and thank him, it will make the girl's life a little easier. Wei Zhiyun thought, looking at Yaoguang with pity in her beautiful eyes.

During the conversation, the host of the banquet arrived and everyone surrounded the old lady of the Xu family to wish her a happy birthday, even Wei Zhiyun followed.

No one was around and no one was looking at her, so Yaoguang felt a little more at ease.

As requested by my uncle, I went to pay my respects to the old lady. Yaoguang was not noticeable among the crowd and no one paid any attention to her.

Until during the banquet, a woman in a purple dress came and walked up to Yaoguang, looking at her with loving eyes. The woman said, "Good child, I finally meet you. I am your aunt Ji."

"My boy touched you, so I have to apologize to you first. I'm really sorry, and I've already taught him a lesson." Ji said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. He didn't hit me."

"Whether he hit you or not, it's his fault. He attacked you right away. How can he act like a gentleman..." Ji Shina pulled Yaoguang to a corner and said carefully, "I'll ask him to apologize to you later. If you're not happy, just beat him up again."

There was no need to hit someone. Yaoguang had never thought of hitting anyone. If she really didn't like someone or had ill will towards someone, that person would have disappeared from the world long ago.

However, in Mrs. Ji's view, Yaoguang's silence seemed gentle and cultured.

Since her son was in the wrong first, the girl didn't argue with him or even hold him responsible, which was already very good.

Even though Mrs. Ji had heard a lot of bad news about Yaoguang from the Wei family, she still firmly believed that her friend's child was a good one, and this was even more true now that she had met him in person.

Thinking of the marriage again, Mrs. Ji felt regretful and couldn't help but ask, "Since the marriage has been called off, it will be difficult to get married again. Yaoguang, since your parents are gone, why don't you come to my house and be my goddaughter? This will also fulfill the promise your father made back then..."

The agreement between the two families at that time was that they would either become brothers or have a child marriage.

It’s not that Mrs. Ji doesn’t want to get married, but she knows that even if her son becomes smart and falls in love with the girl, the girl may not necessarily fall in love with him.

How could someone with such ability at such an age look down on him as an ordinary person?

Mrs. Ji's persistence was mostly due to her love for Yaoguang.

What a good girl! Her eyes are clear and transparent. She can see everything at a glance. She is straightforward and generous. She is exactly the type she likes!

It would be better to adopt her as your goddaughter.

Mrs. Ji had a nice idea, but in Yaoguang's view, family meant responsibility.

"No, mother is irreplaceable."
