After reading all the letters, Ling Hua replied to each one by one.
This time, the first reply was to the Empress Dowager's letter, then to Ling Yunshen and Xiao Qingyu's letters, followed by Qin Huan's, Ling Yunyang's, and finally, Xiao Zhen's.
Yan Qing watched from the side. Although she would wait to send all her replies together, the sequence of her replies hinted at a certain order, which made him unable to resist asking why even replying to letters had to follow a specific sequence.
He felt that everything Ling Hua did was very methodical, as if even when letters arrived together, she had to read and reply to them in a certain order, which he couldn't fathom.
He eventually couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice, "Why did you look at Xiao Zhen's letter first but reply to it last?"
