"Hurry up and change your clothes, my dear sister."
Song Yueyue gently pushed Song Wanwan, and her tone became softer, but still carried an unquestionable sense of command.
Her voice sounded gentle, but the power contained in it was impossible to ignore.
"Okay, wait until I pay my respects to my mother..." Song Wanwan tried to delay a little longer, hoping to find a better solution.
She still held on to the last glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping to convince her sister.
Maybe her mother can help her talk and change her decision.
"No need to greet me, just change your clothes."
Song Yueyue interrupted her and then pulled her out.
Song Yueyue was obviously determined and didn't intend to give her any chance to delay.
She grabbed Song Wanwan's wrist tightly, preventing her from resisting.
Seeing that resistance was hopeless, Song Wanwan had no choice but to leave the main courtyard.
Along the way, she was in a restless mood and kept thinking about her own problems.
The uneasiness and worry in her heart made her mood heavier and her steps became slower.
She prayed silently in her heart that she could find another way, but there seemed to be only one way to go.
When she reached the courtyard where she lived, she didn't notice the steps under her feet and she stepped on empty air and fell.
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to her mind, so she deliberately deviated her steps.
Although she didn't really want to get hurt, she hoped to escape her sister's demands this way.
Although the two maids immediately reached out to help her, they were unable to catch her completely at that moment, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.
A sharp pain came from her ankle, almost making her scream out in pain.
She endured the severe pain, secretly regretting whether it was worth it.
"Second Miss!"
A maid shouted in panic, and she rushed forward and tried to help the second young lady to her feet.
"Miss!"
Another maid also shouted loudly. She hurriedly squatted down to check on Song Wanwan's condition, her eyes full of anxiety and concern.
"My ankle hurts."
Song Wanwan frowned and cried out in pain.
She endured the severe pain and tried to make herself look weaker.
In this way, perhaps we can buy more time and find a better solution.
So the two of them quickly called for a sedan chair, carefully carried Song Wanwan back to the room, and immediately sent someone to find the court doctor to come and treat her.
After a careful examination, the doctor concluded that she had sprained her foot and advised her to rest for a few days, not to walk too much, and to get enough rest. He also prescribed some topical ointment for the wound to relieve pain and promote healing.
Someone then immediately went to report the matter to Song Yueyue.
After hearing this, Song Yueyue couldn't help but look disappointed: "Why is my sister so careless? Did she do this on purpose?"
The maid who responded hurriedly explained, "The second young lady's ankle is swollen very high and looks very serious. She is crying in pain and her whole body is twitching. How could she deliberately let herself suffer like this?"
After hearing what the maid said, Song Yueyue nodded in agreement: "That's true, she is most afraid of pain. Forget it, let her have a good rest, I will go to the palace alone."
Song Yueyue had no choice but to enter the palace alone.
On the other side, in the room, Li was constantly taking care of Song Wanwan who was lying on the bed, feeding her food from time to time to ensure that she could recover as soon as possible.
She brought a bowl of warm soup, gently lifted Song Wanwan's upper body, and carefully fed her little by little with a spoon, fearing to hurt her.
Shortly after the meal, Song Wanwan began to catch up on her sleep, trying to relieve the pain and fatigue through sleep.
She closed her eyes and tried to relax her body, hoping to get better soon.
In the evening, when they were enjoying dinner, the princess suddenly came to the door of the room.
Seeing the Princess appear, Li immediately stood up from her seat and saluted respectfully: "Princess, may I ask what is the matter?"
"No need for so much formality."
The Princess's face was filled with anxiety and anxiety. "Sui Sui went to the palace this morning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and she hasn't returned yet. I sent people to inquire about the situation, but those in the palace were tight-lipped and didn't reveal a single word. I sent a visiting card requesting a meeting, but there was no response at all. Even the Empress Dowager refused to see me."
At this moment, Song Wanwan felt her right eyelid twitching several times, and she had a vague ominous premonition in her heart.
"Could it be because the Queen Mother wants the young lady to stay in the palace tonight?"
Li asked, putting forward his own guess.
"If that's really the case, then the Queen Mother would definitely send word out. Could it be... could it be that something happened in the palace?"
The Princess looked extremely anxious and restless, pacing back and forth in the room constantly, her expression becoming increasingly solemn.
"Mother, Zhao Manxiang is now learning the rules in the palace. The Zhao family should be paying special attention to what's going on in the palace. Should I send someone to inquire about the Zhao family's situation?"
Song Wanwan suggested softly, with a hint of caution in her voice.
"Well, I'll have someone check it out."
The Princess glanced at Song Wanwan's ankle and frowned slightly. "You twisted your ankle at such a bad time. If you could have followed your sister into the palace, you two could have looked after each other. Really, I can't rely on any of you!"
After saying this, the Princess curled her lips, and with a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction, she quickly left the room, leaving behind a depressing atmosphere.
Seeing this, Li's expression darkened slightly. She slowly held Song Wanwan's hand and softly comforted her, "Qingqing, don't take it personally. Who would want to injure their foot? These were all accidents, so don't take them too seriously. You've done your best, so don't blame yourself."
"Mother, these words won't make me sad."
Song Wanwan raised her head and smiled at Li, trying to make her smile appear relaxed, as if to say that none of this was a problem.
Despite this, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she tried to look strong.
"Good boy, eat more ribs and keep yourself healthy."
Li smiled slightly, picked up a piece of tender pork ribs and put it into Song Wanwan's bowl, hoping that the food could replenish her strength and help her recover quickly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Wanwan looked out the window. It was late at night and there was silence.
She thought to herself, could something really have happened to Song Yueyue?
This thought made her feel uneasy, but in order not to worry her mother, she could only try her best to hide her anxiety.
In the main hall, the princess was waiting anxiously.
At this moment, a maid hurried in, bowed, and reported, "Princess, the person sent to the Zhao residence to gather information has returned. He learned that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family returned home tonight."
"Zhao Manxiang is back home? Didn't she say she lived in the palace to learn the rules before getting married?"
The Princess asked in surprise, with a hint of confusion and bewilderment in her voice.
