Fang Lingjun injured her rib, but fortunately, it wasn't too severe. Dugu Jing claimed he went all out, yet the moment they clashed, he realized Fang Lingjun's capabilities and held back slightly. If he had truly gone all out, her rib would most likely have been broken. Mrs. Fang sat with a somber expression, her face dark with displeasure, but Fang Lingjun comforted her instead, "Mother, it's not that painful. Don't be upset."
"Duke Wu'an is reckless and absurd!"
To injure Fang Lingjun so heavily in front of everyone was not only a blow to her dignity but also made it clear to those present how much he despised her. If he were so unwilling to marry into the family, why had he repeatedly invited them to visit?
Fang Lingjun said, "He is a Beiman, and the Fourth Princess mentioned that Beiman women engage in martial matches with men in the same way. Besides, I agreed to spar with him voluntarily, Mother, don't bother arguing with a brute."
