He was truly startled. Consort Fang Pin, such an odd flower who loved indulge in sorrow with the arrival of spring and the passing of autumn—he had no idea what she might do. If she really became despondent, it would be bad if the blame landed on their master.
His heart was truly tired!
This Consort Fang Pin had her own unique way of interpreting things. Regarding the lines in her master's letter that thanked her, asked her to take care of herself, and mentioned the painting, Consort Fang Pin did not read a single sentence without adding her own understanding.
She even managed to convincingly explain away the extra character in her master's letter, claiming it was intentional, a mistake laid plain that showed Sister Lian held her in her heart, hidden within the characters.
Had he not known his master, who did not harbor such deep thoughts, he might have been fooled.
