Liang Wan sent away the summoned physician. She was well aware of her own condition.
If things went as expected, she would have to face Gao Qian again soon. Being so filthy would only add to his disgust.
'If she truly earned his disgust, then all her efforts today would have been for nothing...'
Her clothes shed, Liang Wan sank into the wooden tub. The wound on her shoulder blade throbbed with a piercing pain.
Qiuxi helped her wash, her heart still fluttering with fear. "My lady, you fell into the water! Thank goodness Young Master Zhou saved you! Even so, you nearly... How could you, my lady?"
She had wanted to rush forward and stop her, but her mistress had frozen her with a look. It was clear she had fallen into the water on purpose.
Liang Wan smiled but said nothing. 'A long time ago, she wouldn't have dared. But later, he had forced her to stay submerged for so long...'
'What was there to fear now?'
