Chapter 41 - 35: Best Strategy
"The letter was not written by me." Zhao Changyu handed the letter over to Zhao Hanzhang beside him.
Zhao Hanzhang took it and opened it, seeing the familiar handwriting on it, her brow twitched involuntarily.
Ma Jian’en’s gaze fell on Zhao Hanzhang, "The letter clearly states that it was written by the Shangcai Marquis’s granddaughter. This young lady must be the granddaughter mentioned in the letter."
Zhao Hanzhang had already read the letter, and calmly said, "This letter was not written by me."
"You say it’s not, so it’s not?"
Zhao Hanzhang pointed to a word in the letter and said, "You may not believe it when I say it, but the truth is I cannot write this ’讥’ character, and although the handwriting is closely imitated, there are still differences. If you don’t believe me, I will fetch another draft I wrote for you to see."
Zhao Hanzhang turned her head and said to Uncle Cheng, "Go look in the wastebasket in Grandfather’s study, there should be drafts that I’ve discarded in the past few days."
Uncle Cheng bowed in agreement and retreated to leave.
Soon, he returned with seven or eight crumpled sheets of paper and spread them out for Ma Jian’en to see.
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "General Ma, if you find it difficult to distinguish, you can ask someone else to help. Wang Sima has great handwriting, and he recently mediated between Mr. Fu and me, maybe he would be willing to assist."
