After the family doctor treated her foot wound, the servant suggested carrying Hou Tingfu to the bedroom to rest. Hou Tingfu didn't want to move; her whole body hadn't relaxed yet, so she just wanted to lean on the sofa and rest for a while.
The servant, afraid she might get cold, brought her a wool blanket. The heating was also on in the small living room.
Hou Tingfu leaned against the sofa and fell asleep just like that, only to unexpectedly have a strange and terrifying nightmare.
She considered herself a brave person, someone who, along with Hou Muyan, had grown up being scared out of their wits.
Hou Tingfu thought nothing in the world could ever frighten her again, but to her surprise, her fear originated from her own husband.
She pulled off the blanket covering her, placing her bandaged foot on the ground.
Bearing the pain from the soles of her feet, she stepped into soft cotton slippers and walked into the bedroom she shared with Yan Nanxun.
