Out of politeness, Wei Xiyin would naturally reply.

The two of them exchanged letters for several years.

When did the letter break?

She was about ten years old.

Wei Xiyin understood that this dynasty had many restrictions on women. Although the other party might be her father if he was a few years older, he was a stranger after all. As a noble lady from an aristocratic family, she was already ten years older than him. It would be against the rules to communicate with him any further, so she took the initiative to cut off contact.

Dong Zhiyao waited for a long time without receiving a reply, so he naturally understood what was going on.

He is unruly by nature and has no intention of currying favor with the powerful.

Just because the little girl did him a favor.

There was a big age gap between the two men. During their correspondence, the little girl called him Brother Yao all the time and often shared some trivial and interesting things in the letters. He gradually treated her as a junior.

His mother died early, and although his father was rescued from prison that time, he was injured by the torture and passed away a few years after leaving the capital.

The other party came from a prominent family. If it weren't for that accident, people like them would never have had the chance to meet him.

So the connection between the two was completely cut off, and they had no contact again.

Until disaster strikes.

Dong Zhiyao was trapped in Bingzhou while transporting a convoy, and accidentally met Wei Xiyao, Wei Zhen who was about to mutate, and a half-grown child.

Before losing consciousness, Wei Zhen begged him to save his sister and son.

Dong Zhiyao didn't even bother to care at the time. A young woman and a ten-year-old child were undoubtedly a burden. It wasn't like he was tired of living and had to cause trouble for himself.

It was only after Wei Xiyao revealed their identities and learned that they were from the Qinghe Wei family that Dong Zhiyao stopped leaving and rescued the two of them.

But so many people died in the city, and no matter how good his skills were, he might not be able to protect two people at the same time, so Wei Xiyao had to kill her mutated brother with her own hands.

Dong Zhiyao understood clearly that Wei Xiyao and others were indeed from the Qinghe Wei family, but he only owed Wei Wuniang a favor, not unconditional rescue.

If Wei Xiyao couldn't bring herself to kill her, he would just choose one and take her out of the city.

What follows is as above.

Dong Zhiyao recognized Wei Xiyin the first time he saw her.

But he didn't expect that the little girl from that year had completely forgotten him.

After hearing what he said, Wei Ji also remembered and showed a little surprise, "So it was you."
