Seeing her like this, Yinzhi sighed softly: "Why bother with all this trouble? When the imperial selection is held in the future, as long as the imperial decree is issued, what room will she have to refuse? The tenth brother treats her so well, he can win her approval over time."
Guo Luoluo glanced at him: "I advise you to give up this idea. It will only backfire. She has a very strong personality. If you push her too far, she would rather be a fake husband and wife with the tenth prince for the rest of her life!"
"Your sister is really troublesome!" Yinzhi said helplessly.

"Alright, alright, it's up to you, isn't it?" Seeing her angry expression, Yinzhi immediately went along with her.

Although they didn't think much of each other, they put on a good show of concern, and Aunt Bei's act of caring was truly admirable.
It was as if there had never been any unpleasantness between them.
Heyue didn't bother with her. After the doctor examined her, he knew that she had only injured her foot and was otherwise fine. Only then was Irgen Gioro relieved.
Unwilling to see Aunt Bei's feigned concern yet barely concealing smugness, He Yue was annoyed and simply said she was tired, then chased both Aunt Bei and Aunt Sun out.
