Chapter 94: Secret Affair (3) (2/2)

Fuyan glanced at Wenqing’s room, where the doors had been left half open due to her hurried departure. She suddenly turned and entered Wenqing’s room.

Since Wenqing and Wenlan had just moved there, the simple room was rather empty. She could see everything at one glance. Fuyan nervously gulped and started rummaging around the desk.

There were the usual classics on the table: ‘Lessons for Women’, ‘Book of Songs’, etc. Next to them were the essential tools for writing. Fuyan suddenly spotted a yellow corner of paper sticking out of a book; she pulled it out and found a letter.

There was only a single ‘Xiao’ written on the envelope.

Fuyan’s eyes darted about in thought. She was about to put it back when she heard voices outside the room. She stuffed the letter into her arms in fright and quickly shut the door and left.

When she returned to her own room and heard the sounds of the door opening and closing from next door, she collapsed on the ground.

After getting her breath back, Fuyan remembered the letter she had taken. She quickly got up and locked the door before sitting by the bed and taking out the wrinkled envelope. She opened it slowly…

She was so nervous that her hands were trembling, but the thrill of peeking into someone else’s secret excited her.

When she opened the letter fully and read the contents, Fuyan froze.

This… This letter was meant for Third Young Madam!

It was Mister Xiao who had written it, intending it for Third Young Madam, and he wanted to meet her at Defeng Tea House on the twenty-sixth!

Fuyan was Chu Lian’s personal maidservant, so she naturally knew of the goings-on between the two back in the Ying Estate. However, she hadn’t thought that Chu Lian would dare to continue having an affair with Mister Xiao even after marrying into House Jing’an!

In her panic, Fuyan didn’t know what to do.

She didn’t dare to enter Wenqing’s room again, so she could only hide the letter in the bottom of her storage chest for now.
