Situmu Rong's injury came to the knowledge of Lady Situ that very night. She directly dialed Situmu Rong's number, and after only two rings, the call was picked up. A calm voice without any fluctuation resonated, "Mom? What's wrong?"
Lady Situ sneered, "What's wrong? Shouldn't I be asking you that? Where were you today?"
Situmu Rong didn't respond directly, ambiguously saying, "I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry."
"Were you injured?" Lady Situ didn't want Situmu Rong to evade the issue. Her son was now even getting hurt because of another woman. Were that woman to ask for his life, would he deliver it on both hands too?
"Just some skin injury." Situmu Rong guessed that Lady Situ knew about the day's events, thus choosing not to conceal, speaking nonchalantly, as if it was nothing of significant concern.
