Chapter 101 – Letter Of Adoration

Staring at the letters inside the box, Lin Xiaofei suddenly had the urge to throw it away and burn all of them.

When she picked up one of these letters, she caught sight of a name that she wished she could unsee. Apparently, not only did the previous owner had some extreme adoration towards Qu Xing Xu that she would faint upon the sight of him, she actually kept letters that were never sent to that man.

Lin Xiaofei read a few passages and closed her eyes. The previous owner was too obsessed with Qu Xing Xu that she would even write letters of adoration and even called him some endearments in the letter as if they were lovers who had a secret affair.

"Young miss? Are you alright?" Asked Su Tang who became worried that the rain from yesterday must have taken a toll in her weak body. She had never read the letters that were written by her young lady but seeing Lin Xiaofei's expression, it seems that the letter must be something if great importance for her to hold onto the letters dearly.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Lin Xiaofei looked at the young maid before looking around. She wished there was a brazier in her room where she could burn the letters in one go.

She stared at the candles in the room and stood up.. She intended to start burning the letters one by one or else, who knows what great calamity the letters would bring to her once someone somehow managed to find the letters and read it.

Just thinking about it made her feel an incoming headache coming through her.

"Young miss? What are you doing?!" Su Tang was alarmed at her young lady's strange actions as she saw her walking towards the candle stand on the side.

"Su Tang, come here and help me burn all of these." Lin Xiaofei said to the young maid who widened her eyes in shock.

"But young lady! Aren't these letters important to you?" Asked the young maid.

Lin Xiaofei strangely looked at her before saying, "It was before."

At least, that was what the previous owner felt towards these letters. Though Lin Xiaofei to herself. Now that she is the owner of this body, she didn't want the previous owner's childish infatuation towards the man whom she's involved with ruin her schemes.

Knowing what kind of a man Qu Xing Xu was, the possibility of him using the letters to embarrass her was almost at a hundred percent.

Qu Xing Xu didn't even shy away to mention what Liu Shishi told her in the banquet.

Lin Xiaofei picked one letter and raised it towards the fire from the candle but just as it was about to touch the fire, Bai Lu came running inside the room.

"Young miss!"

Pausing her hand, Lin Xiaofei looked at the other maid who had just entered her room, "What is it?"

Swallowing hard, Bai Lu wiped her sweat on her forehead. She looked around and said, "Young miss, are you done packing?"

Lin Xiaofei frowned and looked at the chests that were beside the door and said, "We're almost done. But there's still something that I need to do." She moved her hand towards the fire but stopped when she heard her maid speak after.

"That's good." Sighed Bai Lu. She was relieved that her young miss was almost done. She then said, "Ah that's right. I heard that the Duke is on his way to pick up young miss."

And as if on cue, they heard someone say from outside of the door, "Madam, master is here to see you."

Lin Xiaofei looked at the door before looking down at the letter in her hand. She was tempted to burn the letters immediately before that man could enter but with only one candle, burning all the letters in the box was impossible. Besides, she also wanted to read some of the letters who looked quite different from the rest.

Should she just throw the candle in the box? But what about the rest of the letter that seemed to be different from the others? Lin Xiaofei felt that she was finally in a dire situation.

She had been curious about how did the previous owner died and didn't have the time to look for clues. However, when Su Tang presented her the letters, she somehow thought she could find some hints as to why she died from it.

But why did Qu Xing Xu come here now? Wasn't he supposed to wait for her to enter his residence? Or perhaps, he had the sudden idea to pick her up to maintain his image as the doting fiance and beloved grandson of her grandfather?

Releasing a deep sigh, Lin Xiaofei decided to put the letter back to the box and closed it. Then, she said, "Let him in."

Soon, the doors to her room were opened and a tall figure was standing before it.

Qu Xing Xu had a smile on his face as he slowly walked to her. "Do you mind if I talk to my fiance alone?" Qu Xing Xu said these words to the two young maids who were on the side.

Su Tang was about to say that she cannot allow her young miss to be alone with a man but Bai Lu was faster to say, "Of course, Your Grace. We will leave now and won't disturb you two from your talk."

Bai Lu pulled Su Tang towards the door and sent hints in her way. Now that their young miss is betrothed to the Duke, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Sending a wink to Lin Xiaofei, Bai Lu felt like she was doing her young miss a favor of having more time to speak to her beloved crush.

However, Lin Xiaofei didn't appreciate her help as she sent glares at her maids who closed the door soon after they stepped out of her room.
