Xu Yanmiao had the same thought.
That night, when someone knocked on his door, he could only see a tall figure standing outside, his features completely obscured by the darkness. “Who’s there?”
The man spoke awkwardly. “Sir Xu, I am the eldest son of the Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. My surname is Liang, my given name is Youwen, and my courtesy name is Cihan. I have heard my father mention you before. Earlier today, I behaved rudely and have come to apologize.”
