Did my brother find out something?
The exchange of these envelopes was a secret between her and Yi Chenli.
Although he is the older brother, the fewer people who know that Yi Chenli is recovering his legs, the better. The more people who know, the more difficult Yi Chenli's situation will become.
An Yuan'er asked urgently, "Is it proper etiquette to casually open other people's envelopes?"
An Huai raised an eyebrow: "Is there something in this letter? You seem so nervous."
Having spent a long time training in officialdom alongside his father, An Huaishou's ability to discern people's hearts far surpassed what it once was. He looked into An Yuan'er's eyes, and An Yuan'er instinctively looked away.
An Yuan'er spoke first to explain: "It's nothing, I just asked the Sixth Prince about some questions I didn't understand while reading."
"Oh? Is that so?" An Huaishou clearly didn't believe it.
“Yuan’er, have you ever heard of something called confessing without being asked? I haven’t even asked you what was written in the letter, and you’ve already blurted it out.”
An Yuan'er held up the envelope in her hand: "Is this what you call not knowing what's written on it? The envelope was clearly opened."
An Huai gestured for An Yuan'er to look at the envelope.
An Yuan'er took a closer look.
......
How embarrassing! This wasn't her envelope; it was just a letter of flattery from a minor official under An Huai's command.
"What about my letter?"
An Huai pointed to the right side of the table, where the envelope was placed intact, unopened.
An Yuan'er put An Huishou's envelope back on the table and quickly took her own envelope and put it in her bag.
"Why did you bring my envelope here?" An Yuan'er put away the envelope and tried to slip away, but An Huishou stopped her.
An Huai looked down at his younger sister, An Yuan'er, and said, "I find it very strange. Is it that your brother is incompetent in his studies, or do you look down on everyone in the An family? Do you need to write to the Sixth Prince to ask him? What a difficult question it is that you have to write several letters every day?"
In the entire city of Shengjing, An Huaishou is one of the most talented scholars. If even he claims to be incompetent, then there are few people in Shengjing who would dare to call themselves talented.
The frequent correspondence did indeed arouse An Hui's suspicion.
An Yuan'er didn't expect that her secret meetings with Yi Chenli would be discovered so soon.
An Yuan'er said defiantly, "Brother is indeed a talented man, but in my heart, the Sixth Prince is indeed a little bit better than brother."
An Huishou was somewhat unconvinced; this younger sister always seemed to side with outsiders.
Yi Chenli is indeed unfathomable, but is An Huaishou really a piece of trash?
The older brother was a little jealous; his younger sister's most admired person wasn't him.
Unconvinced, An turned around and bluntly stated, "Judging from how you treasured that envelope, it definitely contains more than just a question."
An Huishou is absolutely right.
However, An Yuan'er naturally couldn't admit it, and forced herself to say, "I just wanted to ask you a question."
"Brother, to prove that you are no less than the Sixth Prince, I will be happy to help you with any questions you may have in the future."
An Yuan'er quickly denied it: "No!"
She was exchanging letters with her sweetheart, and her brother was always in the way, getting in her way.
An Yuan'er's decisive refusal only fueled An Huishou's suspicions.
“Yuan’er, do I have to pick and choose who to ask questions to? Are you still pretending with me? Do you think your brother is stupid? Does he not know who you were with in that corner that night?” An Huaishou said seriously.
