Xu Changqing readily agreed and went out. Once outside the courtyard gate, she stopped to look at the woman across from her who had just answered, "It's me."
'Pardon my bad memory, but I have no idea what her name is. All I remember is that she was awfully eager to set Brother Shen up with Qin Xue. Is she looking for a beating, coming here so late at night?!'
"Um, I'm Zhao Ping."
"If you have something to say, say it."
Zhao Ping bit her lip. "I didn't know your and Mr. Shen's parents had already arranged your marriage. I'm sorry. Here, this is a letter your sister wrote to me."
"I have no interest in prying into other people's private affairs."
"No, it's not that. Your sister asked me to give it to you."
Xu Changqing glanced at the envelope the woman was holding out, took it with a sidelong look, and slowly began tearing it to pieces. "You can tell her."
