Ah Man noticed the panic in Chu Nanfeng's expression, but said nothing. He just drank his tea quietly, glancing at Chu Nanfeng from time to time.
Chu Nanfeng's expression changed again and again, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he took out a stack of letters from his arms.
Ah Man took a quick glance and saw that the handwriting on the envelope was from her younger sister Jinxiu. Her cousin was the most infatuated man. He would treasure letters from his sweetheart and keep them in his arms even if he had to travel thousands of miles.
"I have arranged a place for my cousin to stay. If he wants to read our letters, he should go to his room."
Before, Ah Man was willing to bring the two together, and what she hoped to see most was their deep love. But now, seeing Chu Nanfeng reading the letter in front of her, she just felt very blocked.
"Ah Man, help me take a look. If Jin Xiu really wants to do something, this letter may be crucial."
Chu Nanfeng just felt that Su Jinxiu's attitude towards the letters between them was particularly strange. If he had any doubts, this letter might be a good breakthrough.
Of course, if there was nothing wrong with the letter, he could rest assured. Deep down in his heart, he still hoped that there was nothing wrong with the letter.
After all, it was my own infatuation that led me there.
Ah Man was stunned after hearing what Chu Nanfeng said. She didn't expect her cousin to change his mind so quickly.
She reached out and took the letter from Chu Nanfeng's hand, reading it one by one. Every word was full of affection, and even she, an outsider, couldn't help but be moved, let alone her silly cousin.
After reading the letters in his hand, Chu Nanfeng also finished reading the one in his hand. He looked at Ah Man excitedly and said seriously: "I said, Jinxiu really likes me, she wants to marry me."
"Why does my cousin suspect that there is something wrong with this letter?"
Looking at Chu Nanfeng's excitement, Ah Man felt bitter in her heart. If she had a choice, she would also like to believe Su Jinxiu.
"After she knew that I had the letter, she asked me to give it to her for safekeeping."
Chu Nanfeng answered honestly, with a hint of guilt in his eyes because of his rejection of Su Jinxiu.
After Chu Nanfeng finished speaking, Ah Man picked up the letter in her hand again and read it over and over again. She couldn't help but admire the writing style of Princess Jinxiu. In addition to the deep love between the two, the poems that expressed their love, even words like "love is as sharp as a knife" came out of her mouth.
When he realized the word sword, Ah Man couldn't help but turn the letter to that page and read it line by line, but still found nothing in the end.
Not to mention Chu Nanfeng, even Ah Man was a little shaken.
If Sister Jinxiu really cared about these letters, did that prove that she really cared about her cousin? Then my previous tests and my cousin's little thoughts really made me feel sorry for her.
Ah Man was a little absent-minded and did not notice the maid serving tea approaching. When she handed the letter to Chu Nanfeng, the tea spilled onto the paper, and the beautiful small characters instantly became blurred.
"Princess, I..." The maidservant knelt on the ground in fear. Chu Nanfeng had already snatched the letter away and was looking at it like a treasure with a look of heartache.
"Cousin, I didn't pay attention. I'm sorry." Ah Man saw Chu Nanfeng's distressed face and felt very sorry in her heart.
"Are you satisfied now? You don't have any doubts anymore, right?" The doubts in Chu Nanfeng's heart had faded, and at this moment, only heartache remained.
Ah Man didn't know how to respond and just lowered his head apologetically.
"No, there's something wrong with this letter." When Ah Man was thinking about how to comfort Chu Nanfeng, he suddenly spoke.
Ah Man looked at Chu Nanfeng, who was staring at the paper in his hand. The words on the paper, which were already blurred and fuzzy, were no longer there. Instead, there was a picture on the paper, vaguely visible.
Chu Nanfeng spread the paper on the table and looked at the picture on it. His expression froze and he kept muttering something like "I can't do it".
Ah Man looked at Chu Nanfeng, opened his mouth slowly, and asked: "This is..."
Chu Nanfeng looked at Ah Man and shook his head slowly. Ah Man's heart sank to the bottom. In fact, they already knew the answer.
