The July night was less sultry and more refreshing.
After parting ways with Duan Yunfei and Xuan Ming at the entrance of the Shen Mansion, Shen Qinglan went directly back to the East Wing.
As soon as she entered, she saw Dong Yao sitting in the main room waiting for her.
Upon seeing her return, Dong Yao took her hand and advised, "Qinglan, this month, if there's no urgent matter, come home early. Try to return before the sun sets."
"I understand, Mother," Shen Qinglan smiled, "You should rest first!"
"Alright!" Dong Yao said, "Remember what Mother said—July is the Ghost Month; living people should minimize activities at night. Though we haven't done anything guilty, it's still best to avoid it!"
Shen Qinglan: ...She seemed to have committed quite a few guilty deeds in her past life!
But, when it comes to ghosts, they exist if you believe, and are nonexistent if you don't.
