A letter?
Liang Wan pulled her hand back and looked at the old envelope.
The maidservant added, "This fell out while I was putting away the plaque."
Lu Xiu leaned in as well.
Liang Wan took the letter and examined it. The envelope had been opened, but the handwriting was unfamiliar. It was neither Awen's nor her Father's.
Lu Xiu looked at her. "Should I leave?"
Liang Wan shook her head. "I have nothing to hide from you now."
'He even knows about the regicide. What else is there to hide? Besides, this is his residence. If he really wanted to know, could I stop him?'
Lu Xiu simply said to the maidservant, "Put the plaque away for now."
The maidservant acknowledged the order and withdrew from the inner room.
Liang Wan opened the letter. The paper was brittle and old. Judging by the address 'Dear Teacher,' it wasn't hard to guess it was written to Awen. But the signatory, 'Cang Zhi,' was someone she had no memory of.
