She didn't know how severe her injury was. After an entire night, the wound on her foot should have already started to scab.
The servant had specially prepared soft, thick-soled slippers for Hou Tingfu. Wearing these slippers, her wound wouldn't reopen while walking.
Hou Tingfu came out of the bedroom and walked all the way to the dining room. When the servant saw her, they quickly greeted:
"Young Madam, you're awake."
"Young Madam, breakfast is ready. Since you injured your foot yesterday, the kitchen has specially prepared a light pork congee and eggs with pig's trotters in ginger vinegar. This is a famous dish from Yuecheng—very nourishing. Eating the pig's trotters will replenish collagen and help your wound heal faster!"
Hou Tingfu looked at the congee and the appetizing dishes on the table but felt no hunger at all. She asked:
"Has Nanxun not come back yet? Did the people sent out last night find any trace of him?"
