Dong Xin Yuan crawled into her older sister's bed, hugging her arm and grinning mischievously, her facial expression as if she were dreaming. Meanwhile, Dong Huiying was pondering another matter…
"Xin Yuan, how is our mother... How is her health? Is she alright?"
What was supposed to be a joyous occasion suddenly stiffened Dong Xin Yuan, who then wilted, despondently saying, "Initially, mother met our third brother-in-law in the mountains, but he was in very poor health. Mother thought to get some meat to help him recuperate, yet while hunting, she was bitten and lost a leg..." If not for that, this task of sneaking to the Liang family to deliver grain wouldn't have fallen on Dong Xin Yuan.
Dong Huiying said, "Mother lost her leg? How did it happen exactly? Tell me in detail."
Dong Xin Yuan described the incident; Dong Feiyan's leg was indeed broken, but it was not amputated.
