Someone from the palace?
No matter how furious Liang Jiao was, she could only swallow her anger for now, bottling up her resentment as she went out the door with Liang Wan.
In the front hall, Liang Cheng was fussing over a eunuch, an obsequious look plastered on his face.
Upon seeing Liang Wan, the eunuch sidestepped Liang Cheng and walked forward. "You must be the Third Lady, I presume?"
The man was around forty, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, dressed in the blue uniform of a palace eunuch. His hands were clasped before him. Though he looked stern, his tone was gentle.
Liang Wan was secretly surprised. She smiled and curtsied. "Greetings, Lord Chief Minister."
"There is no need for such formalities, my lady. This old servant has come on the orders of the Empress to deliver a reward to you," he said, gesturing to a line of little eunuchs behind him, each holding a Jade Plate. "These are rewards from His Majesty and the Empress to commend you."
'Gao Qian?!'
