Rong did not hold a grudge against her junior, Ren Yaohua, for the unpleasantness of the day. Instead, she patiently inquired about her injuries and then had her properly laid down on the kang.
Ren Yaohua naturally felt a little awkward, but she still answered whatever Rong asked her, not losing her temper at this time.
After the doctor came in, Rong Shizhi Ren Yaohua briefly described her injuries, and then asked the doctor to examine her. After examining Ren Yaohua's injuries, the doctor said, "You're lucky, young lady. If it were half an inch off, it would have hit the bone. The wound was bandaged promptly, and acupressure was used to stop the bleeding. You'll be fine after a good rest of half a month or ten days."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Ji Fuying asked, "The wound is so deep. Will it leave a scar?" Women always care about their appearance. Although the wound was on the foot, it was still a bit regrettable for an unmarried girl to have a big scar on her foot.
The doctor said, "The wound is quite deep, and I'm afraid the scar will remain. I'll prescribe some ointment for her later. Remember to apply it once every morning and night. I can't guarantee that it will completely eliminate the scar, but it will at least make it lighter."
Rong nodded and asked someone to take the doctor down to prescribe medicine.
When she heard that there would be a scar left on her leg, Ren Yaohua was not too worried. She felt lucky to have saved her life by returning safely today, so leaving only a scar was nothing.
Seeing Ren Yaohua looking tired, Rong said, "I'll have someone bring in some food so you can fill your stomach before taking the medicine."
Ren Yaohua didn't even have lunch today, and she had been rushing on the road. On the way, Lei Ting asked her if she wanted to eat something, but she didn't eat as she had no appetite. Now she was indeed a little hungry.
Ren Yaohua was silent for a moment, then muttered, "Thank you."
Although the thank you sounded dry, Rong didn't say anything. She smiled and took Ji Fuying out, leaving only the two sisters in the room.
Ren Yaohua lay facing the wall for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked Ren Yaoqi, "Am I particularly annoying?"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and was about to reply, but Ren Yaohua had already turned around and said in a muffled voice, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
When Ren Yaoqi thought Ren Yaohua had fallen asleep, she heard her whisper, "You and Mother don't blame them. I think maybe I really did misunderstand something. But some knots have been forming for too many years, accumulated over time. Even if I force myself to uncover them now, I can't pretend that nothing happened."
Ren Yaoqi walked over and sat on the edge of the kang, listening to Ren Yaohua continue: "I am not my mother, and I am not you. You can be kind and generous, and you can be calm and peaceful, but I can't do that. I have always been a bad person. But I don't want to make my mother sad and upset, and make her feel torn. So in the future, I will do my best to get along peacefully with the people in my grandparents' family. I will not miss out on the proper etiquette, so you can rest assured."
After saying this, Ren Yaohua closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Ren Yaoqi understood what she had not finished saying.
Ren Yaohua didn't like it, and she couldn't forgive it just because she said so. But she was willing to try to accept the people from Prince Xian's Mansion.
