Chun was resigned: "I forgot."
Nabchuanxi said gravely: "Even forgetting the first page makes it hard for me to believe."
Chun added: "The author is Celia."
"Not enough."
Chun retorted unkindly: "Do you remember the first line of the letter you wrote to Liya, the City Beauty?"
Nabchuanxi paused: "Of course I remember."
Chun wrote: "I know you wrote to the City Beauty, doesn't that prove it's me?"
Nabchuanxi said: "It doesn't."
Chun's heart skipped a beat, as the correspondence went through the family's central network, it wasn't a secret. If she says it doesn't prove it, is she worried someone in the family would impersonate me to trick her?
Chun asked: "Then the number of Sea Light Pearls—"
Nabchuanxi interrupted directly: "Can't."
