Ouyang Zhenzhu finally noticed her strange posture. "How could you have been so careless?" she asked, concerned. "Does it hurt badly?"
Zhi Wan shook her head. "It doesn't hurt much anymore. I was focused on chasing you and didn't watch my step. I tripped on a rock."
Ouyang Zhenzhu was filled with self-blame. "It's all my fault. I was just having fun and didn't even think to wait for you."
Zhi Wan was exasperated. "How could this be your fault? It was just an accident, and not a serious one. If anyone's to blame, it's my own clumsiness."

Nanny Chen said, "Our people were following them, but then Miss Zhi Wan and Miss Ouyang went deep into the Peach Blossom Forest. Fearing they'd be discovered, and assuming the young ladies would be out after a short while, our people stopped following.
