Su Pei'er quickly said, "Of course. Second Miss Ye, you've had a long and tiring journey. You should get a good rest."
As she spoke, she moved to get up and prepare the bed for Ye Chutang, but Chutang stopped her.
"There's no need to trouble yourself. I'll be fine on the daybed over there."
Su Pei'er protested, "How could I let you do that?"
'Ye Chutang saved my life. Now that she's here, if I can't even let her have a proper night's sleep, then I'm truly—'
Ye Chutang gave a casual wave and lay down on the daybed.
"This is perfectly fine."
'I've spent plenty of nights sleeping in the wild; it never bothered me.'
Su Pei'er was about to protest again, but Ye Chutang raised a finger to her lips with a soft "shh."
"We shouldn't wake your little maid. She's still young; this is when she needs sleep to grow."
Su Pei'er was speechless.
