In the courtyard, QingWu was stuffing walnut kernels into little Yulang's mouth while Night Wanderer lazily remarked from the side, "Didn't you say you were just here to watch and not to interfere?"
"I said I'd watch the Duchess's drama. I never said I wouldn't interfere with that little wraith child's situation," QingWu replied casually. "If they dare to bully anyone of our ghost kin, it's no longer a matter of whether I step in or not."
Night Wanderer snorted. "That little ghost better have some backbone and not come out tonight!"
QingWu's gaze shifted slightly, her tone indifferent. "Whether she comes out or not has nothing to do with her having backbones."
Night Wanderer clicked his tongue and looked sullen. While they chatted, Xie Zi Yuan arrived.
He merely nodded and said, "Let me take you to the western courtyard for a rest."
