Inside Story

This was a letter Tsen Chao wrote to a friend. One can tell from the content that both of them were falsely accused by villains, thus the letter was full of words of comforting. Tsen Chao advised his friend that they should just let it go and not worry too much because for those who were framed life certainly would not be easy. Tsen Chao also reminded his friend that it was more important to take good care of oneself as it was closer to the end of the year and the weather was getting colder.
