Song Ruqi was raised in comfort and care since childhood, surrounded by servants, her skin kept fair and tender. A slight pinch could leave a mark, such obvious bruises, who wouldn't change their expression upon seeing them?
Madam Song and Shuhua exclaimed in surprise, even Song Ruqi herself was a bit dazed.
"This, this..."
Song Ci stepped forward to look closer, pressing gently, causing Song Ruqi to wince and retract her foot.
"Shuhua, go call the gentleman in."
Shuhua curtsied and went out to fetch Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen quickly came in from outside, Song Ci stepped aside and said to him, "Come take a look."
He approached, following Song Ci's finger with his gaze, landing on his wife's calf, and paused in surprise.
"You practice martial arts, can you tell if this bruise could be caused by some external force?" Song Ci asked.
Qi Zhen's expression changed, he countered, "Wasn't this from a collision?"
