Su Zhenyue took it and glanced at it. Her eyes widened, and she shot to her feet, exclaiming in anger,
"The nerve of these people!"
As soon as she spoke, Su Zhenyue turned to the protesting Pei Guanli and asked with a grave expression,
"Miss Pei, are you certain you didn't write this letter?"
"I already told you I didn't."
"Then how did it end up on you?"
"I, I don't know..."
No matter how Xiao Jinghong and Su Zhenyue interrogated her, Pei Guanli held fast to Chen Yi's instructions and adamantly denied ever having seen the letter.
After a long moment.
Xiao Jinghong let her go, took the letter again, and read it over carefully twice more before she finally spoke.
"I'll believe you for now."
"But if I find out later that you wrote this, I won't spare you, even if Granny Shan herself is protecting you!"
Pei Guanli pouted and mumbled an "oh," grumbling to herself.
'How strange.'
'This isn't going how I imagined.'
