The letter was very short.
So short that after Hu Liena finished reading it, she frowned and checked it over and over.
There was no complaint.
No grievance.

There were only three matters.
The Heaven Dou Black Market Case had already implicated the Clear Sky Remnants, Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, the Noble Chamber of Commerce, and the Elder Palace's cherry-picking.
