As Wen Wan descended the mountain, her knees still throbbed with pain.
Previously, she climbed the mountain, kowtowing every three steps. By the time she reached the top, her knees were worn raw. To ensure her devotion, she didn't apply any medicine. Today, she came in a hurry, hiding it from the family, and without bringing any maid. By the time she reached the foot of the mountain, her face was pale from pain.
Uncle Lin, the coachman, upon seeing this, wanted to support her but felt it inappropriate. He could only stand aside, concerned, "Madam, would you like me to get a doctor from the nearby town?"
He had seen Madam climb the mountain earlier, and knowing the steep stone steps, he could imagine her legs couldn't bear it.
Wen Wan shook her head, "No need, let's go back quickly."
