“Yuan Zhao?” Qiao Zhen asked, deliberately bringing up the very thing she didn’t want to hear. “What? You’re not scared anymore? Look at you, you’re so timid. The knife hasn’t even touched you yet, and you’re already scared like a quail. You’re not even as good as Yuan Zhao.”

"That's good. Have fun, niece. Your aunt is over there. I'm going to go find her now."
