Ji Yuan received Zhao Hanzhang's guilt confession, and was moved to tears. He decided against making any major revisions, opting only for minor embellishments before having someone copy and post it. However, he couldn't seem to let go of the manuscript.
The clerk tugged at the manuscript but couldn't take it, leading him to look at Ji Yuan, "Sir?"
Ji Yuan released the manuscript but said, "No need to copy it. Deliver it to the lady and let her write it herself."
Could there be a better guilt confession than one written personally by Zhao Hanzhang?
When Zhao Hanzhang heard, she immediately separated half of the towering pile of documents on her desk, "Send them to Mr. Ji and say I'm busy writing a guilt confession, so I'll trouble Mr. Ji with these documents."
The official duties Zhao Hanzhang needed to handle extended beyond Luoyang to include the ten counties of Yu State.
