Chapter 26
When he got to the place where he prayed and recited scriptures yesterday, when Xie Chen sat down on his knees, he saw Gu Hengyu walking towards this place.

Xie Chen was a little puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Hengyu walked up to her, knelt down and sat down like her, put his hands together, and glanced at Xie Chen: "Same as you, praying for blessings and chanting scriptures."

Gu Hengyu can also be regarded as Princess Yuning's junior, and she has a good time with Xie Chen, and it is reasonable to come here to pray and chant scriptures for her, but the atmosphere makes Xie Chen feel a little strange, but he can't say anything.

Seeing Gu Hengyu's actions, Aunt Lan just smiled in relief.

But Xie Wan showed jealousy towards Xie Chen after seeing Gu Hengyu coming. Although Yan Yichen is good, he is still far behind Gu Hengyu. It's just that no matter what means Xie Wan uses, Gu Hengyu will never look at her, so she will go to Yan Yichen's idea.

But thinking that Xie Chen would be planned by her to marry Yan Yichen in the future, and also because she would be betrayed by Yan Yichen, Xie Wan couldn't help being excited in her heart, hoping that that day would come soon.

After chanting and praying, the moment Xie Chen stood up, his legs were more numb than yesterday, and his body unconsciously fell forward. After seeing it, Gu Hengyu subconsciously picked up Xie Chen's body that was about to fall.

Xie Chen fell into Gu Hengyu's arms and hit his head on his chest. She felt the warmth on her waist, and after standing still, she quickly distanced herself from Gu Hengyu. The atmosphere in the main hall was a bit awkward.

It was Aunt Lan who spoke first: "After sitting on my knees for a long time, my legs are a little sore. Chen'er, can you help Auntie a little bit?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chen seemed to see a savior, and walked quickly to Aunt Lan, showing her grateful eyes.

Xie Wan didn't say a word, but felt that Xie Chen was putting on an air and was playing hard to get Gu Hengyu.

Xie Han glanced at Gu Hengyu from the sidelines, and decided in his heart that Gu Hengyu liked Xie Chen. Although Gu Hengyu was very nice, in his heart he still felt that his sister was worthy of being the best person in the world.

Gu Hengyu didn't care about the way others looked at him, but just kept staring at Xie Chen's flustered steps, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of a smile.

The temple prepared a light vegetarian dinner for them, Xie Wan had to complain, Xie Chen and the others just listened to Xie Wan's complaints in silence, Xie Wan was tired of complaining, and most naturally closed it.

After a simple dinner, Xie Chen said to Aunt Lan: "This is the first time Auntie has come here this year, and the moonlight is good tonight, why don't we go for a walk around as companions?"

Aunt Lan naturally wanted to go, the opportunity to go out of the mansion was a luxury for her, as was freedom, so she nodded and accepted Xie Chen's invitation.

It was quiet outside, and the sound of leaves falling could be faintly heard. After spring, the weather gradually warmed up, and the wind at night was no longer cool. The wind gently blowing on their bodies made people feel comfortable.

Xie Chen led Aunt Lan to the front, and Xie Wan followed. Because the relationship between Xie Chen and Aunt Lan has gradually become closer recently, the two of them talked a lot, and Xie Wan was left aside.

Xie Wan walked with them for so long, her feet hurt and she didn't see Gu Hengyu coming over to meet Xie Chen. She thought that they didn't have time to meet again today, so she proposed the idea of ​​going back: "Sister, I will arrive today Well, I'm a little tired." He said and tugged on Xie Chen's sleeve.

Xie Chen looked at Xie Wan's coquettish expression towards her, and felt disgusted in his heart. If he didn't know who she was in his previous life, he might still think Xie Wan is weak and cute now.

"My aunt and I were just talking about being excited, why don't you go back first?" Xie Chen said helplessly while he was full of interest.

Xie Wan shook her head when she heard it, with a little fear on her face: "Didn't my sister hear that Sun Siyan died near here? My sister is really a little scared." It meant that she couldn't go back alone.

Sun Siyan's bizarre death had already spread throughout the capital, and Xie Wan knew there was nothing wrong with it at this time, but Xie Chen suddenly remembered that Xie Wan and Sun Siyan seemed to have some friendship.

After Xie Chen thought of this, he pretended not to know and asked, "Is this Miss Sun from the Ministry of Rites' family?" There was still a surprised expression on his face.

Xie Wan saw that Xie Chen didn't know, and she didn't think it was a secret, so she said, "Don't you know, sister? I heard that Sun Siyan's death was bizarre, and the servants who escorted her also disappeared."

Xie Chen shook his head, lowered his head and said, "Miss Sun and I don't have a deep friendship. The noble girls in the capital are not as familiar as your younger sister. It's normal not to know these things."

After hearing Xie Chen's words, Xie Wan found something in herself that was better than Xie Chen. How about a daughter-in-law and how beautiful she is, the noble girls in the capital still only recognize her as Xie Wan. After all, Xie Chen lost his mother when he was young. It is well known that he is favored by the prime minister.

Xie Wan pretended to comfort Xie Chen, but she couldn't hide the smugness on her face, and said to Xie Chen: "Although younger sisters are indeed more popular with them than older sisters, older sisters should not underestimate themselves."

In order to highlight herself, Xie Wan said: "Sun Siyan and I also have a little friendship with her. Although she is a concubine, she is very much loved by Mrs. Sun. She doesn't like to talk usually, and she looks like Xiaojiabiyu. hands, it made me feel sad for her." Saying this, she wiped away the tears that hadn't appeared on her face.

Xie Wan obviously is also a concubine, but inside and outside the words reveals the meaning of looking down on the concubine, which makes people find it ridiculous.

However, Xie Chen finally got some useful information, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, and then asked without leaving a trace: "Sister, don't be joking, will Mr. Sun treat her like a father will treat you?" There was a sense of disappointment in his tone. .

Seeing Xie Chen's loss of face, Xie Wan felt even more proud. She wanted to answer directly, but after thinking about it, she said, "When Mr. Sun is free, he will even pick up Sun Siyan after our banquet."

That is indeed a very good treatment for Sun Siyan, Xie Chen thought to himself.

Seeing that Xie Wan couldn't say anything useful, Xie Chen stopped asking.

Aunt Lan saw that Xie Wan was really tired, she was afraid that Xie Wan would leave Xie Wan again and she would hate to cause trouble for Xie Chen, she said softly: "Now the night is over, let's go back."

Xie Chen looked at Aunt Lan, nodded and said, "That's right, I have to recite scriptures for another day tomorrow to pray for blessings, and I really have to go back to rest."

Seeing that she was finally able to go back, Xie Wan naturally didn't say anything, thinking that Aunt Lan was sensible and gave Aunt Lan an extra look.

When they arrived in the yard, Xie Wan looked really exhausted, and before she could say a few words, she went back to rest.

Seeing this, Xie Chen didn't say anything, just smiled, and said to Aunt Lan: "Aunt Lan is also tired today, I'll ask Yinhuan to bring you some tranquilizing incense so that you can sleep well."

In the past few days of contact, Xie Chen carefully discovered that Aunt Lan's sleep was extremely light, which may be related to working day and night.

Aunt Lan knew Xie Chen's intentions, and now treats her like her own daughter, and accepts her kindness with a smile: "Chen'er has a heart."

Xie Chen also smiled softly, and after sending Aunt Lan to the house, he walked into his own room.

After entering, Xie Chen told Yinhuan to ask her to go to bed early after delivering Aunt Lan's Anshen Xiang, and to get up early tomorrow and simply pack up her luggage for leaving in the afternoon, so that she could go to bed early as well.

Yinhuan nodded, replied yes, and went out.

After Yinhuan went out, Xie Chen poured himself a cup of tea, but before he could drink it, he saw a corner of black clothes peeking out from the cabinet.
