The clansmen also dispersed.
The old lady cried out in alarm, "Quickly, go and fetch a doctor!"
…
As soon as the clansmen left the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, Yuan Fuling sent someone to inquire about the news. Song Yao advised her: "Mother, Father and elder brother are both wholeheartedly devoted to you. No matter how capable the princess is, she will not abandon her husband and son. At most, she will lose her temper, but once she calms down, she still can't do anything to you."
Yuan Fuling smiled slightly, finding it quite reasonable. She touched her swollen cheek and gritted her teeth in anger: "The princess went too far. I will settle this score sooner or later. I am not someone to be trifled with."
Song Yao nodded, then, as if remembering something, came to Yuan Fuling's side: "Mother, did the princess really go to Tiantai Mountain to pray for blessings? Why does Father seem to dislike the princess?"

"How did the Duke get so badly injured?" Yuan Fuling's eyelids twitched, and she snapped, "Why don't you tell me already? Are you trying to drive me crazy with worry?"
Yuan Fuling couldn't wait any longer and got off the ground to visit the Duke of Jingguo.
