The day passed quickly.
By the time the sun began to set, Hua Manman could no longer linger at the Uncle's Mansion.
At her parents' repeated urging, she reluctantly left the Uncle's Mansion and returned to the Prince Zhao Mansion by carriage.
Her legs were incredibly sore from kneeling all day.
When she got out of the carriage, she had to be helped down.
It was already dark, but Li Ji still hadn't eaten dinner.
Eating alone was simply no fun.
He merely sat at the table for a moment before having the servants clear away the entire spread of dishes.
Gao Shan had been extremely anxious about this. When he heard that Lady Hua had returned, his heart leaped with joy. 'The savior is finally back!' he thought.
He hurried out to welcome Lady Hua.
Noticing that Lady Hua's gait was a little off, Gao Shan asked with concern,
"Lady Hua, are your legs injured? I'll have someone call the household doctor to take a look at you right away."
