"Even if you aren't Third Brother's daughter, you still have to learn the rules of etiquette and your studies," Sang Zhi said seriously.
"Who's as idle as you are?"
"I'm very busy. I have to study late into the night every day."
"..."
"I hear you're already six. You can't be so lazy," Sang Zhi said.
"What's wrong with being six? I'm just a little girl from the countryside. What's the point of me learning etiquette?" Ye Qianning rolled her eyes. 'Good and evil come from within; rules can't teach a person's heart.'
'Especially those princes and nobles, the scions of the Imperial Family. Which one of them doesn't use their status to treat commoners as less than human?'
'Righteous in public, but devils in private.'
"What you learn is for your own benefit. It has nothing to do with your status."
"Have you ever been to the countryside? If I spend my time learning formal greetings and etiquette, who am I going to perform for when I go back? People would just think I'm crazy."
