Jiang Yuejing had no choice but to go check on what was wrong with Yun Shuo. Not long after she left, Xie Xing turned to Yuran and asked, "Why on earth do you always poke and prod at him? You've been quietly fanning the flames the whole time."
To vie for resources and gain the elders' favor in Yuqing Palace, many disciples traded barbs in their daily speech, and Yuran had picked up a trick or two of this passive-aggressive banter.
Yuran dropped her frail expression, looking thoroughly unchivalrous and defiant. "He started it first; I never did anything to him. Besides, I'm not fanning any flames—I'm helping Yuejing manage her husband. A man cannot refuse to listen to his wife, and I'm just making sure Yun Shuo understands who is actually master of the household!"
