Feng Guang's kick was so sudden, and because she was not a martial artist, she had no killing intent at all, so even agile and highly skilled people did not have time to react and dodge her kick.
Under the cover of night, a man's eyesight is naturally better than that of a scenic viewer. He noticed a footprint on his wet, moon-white clothes, and then saw that the little girl had already run away.
She was clever enough to kick him and run away to avoid him coming back to his senses and holding a grudge against her. After all, she knew that she was too weak and delicate to beat him.
Of course, he could catch up with her if he wanted to, but he wasn't in a hurry. He picked up the potted plant she had left behind and thought with amusement that the little girl seemed to have forgotten that since she could appear in the Xie family's inner quarters, she must also be a member of the Xie family.
After returning home, Feng Guang changed into dry clothes, but she still caught a cold the next day. At the Xie family's first family banquet, although she didn't cough much, she looked sickly, especially with her nose stuffy and her voice thick with nasal sounds.
Upon hearing her greeting, the old lady frowned. "Is Fengguang ill?"
Xie Xun said, "Feng Guang grew up in Sishui City. When he first returned to the capital, he was not used to the climate and water, which is why he caught a cold."
“Oh dear, the eldest daughter is a true daughter of an official family, her body is very delicate.” Tan Rou covered her face and laughed, then said, “Second Aunt, I have some medicinal herbs here to nourish your body. The eldest daughter is weak, she can come here to get some herbs.”
Her words left one wondering whether she was being sarcastic or concerned.
But whether she was being sarcastic or showing concern, Feng Guang had to smile and reply, "Thank you for your trouble, Auntie."
Her polite demeanor put Xie Xun and Zhao Wan at ease; they were afraid that she might lose her temper and jump up to start yelling.
The Xie family had returned from afar, and it was customary for everyone to attend the welcome-back banquet. However, since it wasn't mealtime yet and not everyone had arrived, the group could only sit in the hall and chat with the old lady.
Xie Yaoyao, being an illegitimate daughter, originally had no status. However, her father doted on her, and she recently became famous for a song, so her status rose invisibly. Not to mention a family banquet, even if they were to go to other people's banquets in the future, they would have to bring Xie Yaoyao along.
Xie Yaoyao lowered her head and said, "Grandmother, when will Third Uncle be back?"
Xie Yaoyao had a good feeling about Xie Zhan. She had heard from her personal maid that before she transmigrated, Xie Zhan had taken good care of this niece who had been bullied. However, Xie Zhan was away fighting for many years and could only take care of Xie Yaoyao for a while. Xie Yaoyao was the kind of person who would repay kindness and avenge wrongs. Since she had taken over someone else's body, she would also take on the corresponding responsibilities.
Moreover, just six months ago, she had only met Xie Zhan briefly and hadn't had a chance to thank him.
Upon hearing Xie Yaoyao mention Xie Zhan, Feng Guang, who had been listless, immediately perked up.
Grandma Xie said, "Zhan'er's letter to me said he was coming back today. He's always been punctual, so it shouldn't be too long."
Sure enough, no sooner had Old Madam Xie finished speaking than Xie Jie's furious voice came from the doorway, "Third Uncle, let me go!"
Xie Jie was pushed into the hall from outside. Facing everyone, he awkwardly straightened his clothes. This sixteen-year-old boy still had a sense of shame.
