Chu Yin noticed that the official was ignoring her, which suggested that her father, Chu Xiong, was not favored by this man.
Thus, Chu Yin, in her urgency, said cleverly: "My lord, my dear sister is Lady Zhan Lan from the General Mansion. If you escort me to Lianbian City, she will surely reward you handsomely!"
Upon hearing the name Zhan Lan, Mu Yan put down the folding fan in his hand, sat up, and said to Vermilion Bird: "Let her write a letter of proof for me!"
"Yes, Master!" Vermilion Bird thought to himself, the cold and unapproachable Master suddenly seems more animated upon hearing the two words Zhan Lan.
Tsk, tsk, just moments ago, he looked utterly disinterested.
Chu Yin, hearing that the official was willing to help her reach Lianbian City, promptly took the offered writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter of proof for Vermilion Bird.
Vermilion Bird handed the letter of proof to Mu Yan, who stayed hidden inside the palanquin.
