Chapter 3
"Father, are you in a hurry to find your daughter?" After Xie Chen entered, he bowed politely to Prime Minister Xie.

Inside the house, Aunt Jing was sitting by Xie Wan's bed, watching Xie Wan's injury, she shed tears of sadness, and Prime Minister Xie also had worry on his face, but this worry did not give Xie Chen a single bit of it.

Prime Minister Xie looked at the thanks in front of him, who looked very much like her mother, Princess Yuning, because she was kidnapped by human traffickers when she was a child, and the emperor took her to live in the palace. She only returned to the mansion three months ago, and she is not familiar with this family. Even being robbed, Prime Minister Xie couldn't help being a little worried about Xie Chen, and wanted to say a word to express his concern for her, but when Aunt Jing's cry came to his ears, he thought of his purpose for asking Xie Chen to come.

"Kneel down, who told you to secretly take your sister out?" Prime Minister Xie said with a serious expression, trying to put pressure on Xie Chen to admit her mistake.

After listening to Xie Chen, she sneered in her heart and wanted her to confess her guilt at the first sentence, but she didn't show any signs on her face. After all, she had suffered a lot from talking back to her father in her previous life. The prime minister quarreled, allowing Aunt Jing's goal to succeed.

"Father, did you ask me to admit my mistake in the first sentence? It was my sister who begged me to go out with her. I didn't dare to do this." Xie Chen ignored Xie Wan's look at her, and looked up at Xie Wan with tears in his eyes. The prime minister seems to have been greatly wronged.

Since Xie Chen returned to the mansion from the palace three months ago, Prime Minister Xie has never seen Xie Chen so weak, let alone being seven points similar to her mother, he felt pity in his heart.

"Forget it, you are weak, get up and talk." Xie Cheng said concernedly, not daring to look at Aunt Jing's expression after speaking.

Xie Chen stood up while wiping away tears.

"Father, how is Wanwan's injury?" Xie Chen's lips were pale, tears were still on his face, his whole body was in a precarious state, but he still showed worry, as if he was extremely worried about Xie Wan's illness.

Aunt Jing said softly at this time: "The wound on Wan'er's back will leave traces for a lifetime. Fortunately, it is on Wan'er. If it is on you, Chen'er, I'm afraid it will make your father and me even more sad."

Although Aunt Jing said this, she watched Xie Wan cry even more after she finished speaking. She deliberately let Prime Minister Xie know why they were together, Xie Chen was safe and sound, but Xie Wan was injured.

Prime Minister Xie really asked Xie Chen, with a critical tone: "Chen'er, how did you protect your sister?" After asking this sentence, Aunt Jing's eyes flashed with pride.

Xie Wan was crying at this time, shaking her head weakly and said, "Father, it's not my sister, it's really not my sister."

Xie Chen lowered his head and listened coldly. Xie Wan said it was her sister instead of not blaming her, which made people suspicious. The mother and daughter really played a good hand.

"Father, I didn't take good care of my sister, but I really don't know why the bandits appeared in the capital. They have never committed a crime in the capital before." Xie Chen cried until he had to explain himself.

Bandits usually rob money outside the city, how could they suddenly come to the city?Prime Minister Xie is not an idiot, he must know that someone is pushing behind it, it just depends on whether he is willing to find out the real culprit.

Seeing that Prime Minister Xie was thinking about this, Aunt Jing thought it was not good, then she looked at Xie Chen tenderly, and said, "Chen'er stop crying, the crying auntie's heart is broken, it's all Wan'er's fun."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Xie and said, "If the master has anything to scold, just say that I will be with Wan'er." Although Aunt Jing is getting old, she still has a good face, her figure is not out of shape, and she looks like a weak willow. The posture is as charming as silk.

Xie Wan also begged Prime Minister Xie not to ask her sister again.

Prime Minister Xie has always loved Aunt Jing and Xie Wan, so how could he be willing to scold him, this matter is over, let Xie Chen go back to his room to rest earlier.

Before leaving, Aunt Jing showed great concern in front of Prime Minister Xie and gave Xie Chen the soothing incense she usually used, so that Xie Chen could sleep well at night.

On the way back, Yinhuan said angrily: "The master is too partial to the third lady. Miss, you are so weak, and he even asked you to come and kneel." After speaking, she vented her anger on her feet and stomped on the ground vigorously. .

But Yinhuan is a bit strange. Before the young lady was treated unfairly by the master, although she pretended not to care in front of the master and talked back to him, she would always be sad for a long time, but this time she seemed to be fine, but no matter what, Miss is such a kind person, she deserves to be treated sincerely.

Seeing Yinhuan's cuteness, Xie Chen felt better, and said to Yinhuan with a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to this kind of thing."

Walking to the gate of her yard, Xie Chen saw someone wandering back and forth at the gate. She walked closer and saw that it was Aunt Lan's son, her younger brother Xie Han.

In her previous life, because of Aunt Jing and Xie Wan's instigation, she deliberately alienated Aunt Lan and Xie Han and treated Xie Han very indifferently, but when Yan Yichen was about to give herself to the Emperor of Nanchu, the entire Xie family had Aunt Lan and Xie Han are willing to stand up and speak for her.

Xie Han was wearing a light blue robe, some places on it had been washed and looked old, and the sleeves at the wrists were loosely rolled up, making him look neat and tidy.

Xie Han quickly lowered his head when he saw Xie Chen, but immediately raised it up again. He looks like Aunt Lan, very handsome, and his eyes are clear. He stretched out his hand, holding the things in his hand, and said to Xie Chen: "Sister Di, I heard that you were frightened. This is a soothing sachet made by my mother."

Seeing his embarrassed look, Xie Chen couldn't help smiling, his almond eyes were curved, his bright eyes looked even more beautiful under the moonlight, and he reached out to take the sachet.

Then Xie Chen said to Xie Han: "Next time, don't come so late to send it off. Although it's spring, it's still a bit cold at night. You're wearing such thin clothes. What if you get sick?" There was genuine concern in his eyes .

Xie Han was a little stunned for a moment. Normally, my sister-in-law would always ignore him, even be regarded as indifferent, but he knew that she had no bad intentions. She would send people to secretly deliver it, although she never admitted it.

"Well, sister-in-law, I understand. Don't worry, I will take care of my body." Xie Han said excitedly. After finishing speaking, he had forgotten what he was talking about. He blushed nervously, scratched his head and hurried Put your hands back.

Seeing Xie Han's silly and cute look, Xie Chen smiled, and ordered Yinhuan to take out the newly made steamed chestnut flour cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar for Xie Han to take away for supper.

Xie Han took the supper from Yinhuan's hand, and couldn't help being excited. Tonight's sister-in-law was extraordinarily kind to him, which made him a little dizzy for a while, but it was a good start.

Early the next morning, Xie Chen took Yinhuan to pay his respects to his grandmother.

"Grandmother's good granddaughter, come, let grandma have a look." An old lady leaning on a sandalwood cane, although her hair was half gray, she had a friendly and generous demeanor.

Xie Chen looked at her grandmother's face and caring eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a sore nose. In her previous life, her grandmother helped her in everything and favored her, which caused Xie Wan's hatred for her grandmother. Later, she slowly poisoned her to make her health worse every day. One day, half a year after she got married, she went there.

The old lady Xie looked at her granddaughter's wet eyes, her expression became anxious, and she hurriedly asked, "Chen'er, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Xie Chen shook his head, with a crying voice, and said: "No, the granddaughter just misses her grandmother, it seems that she hasn't seen her for a long time." After finishing speaking, he hugged the old lady Xie and didn't let go.

The old lady Xie Chen was also happy to get close to her, she nodded her head, and joked: "You are so grown up, why are you still like a child."

Xie Chen rubbed his head against his grandmother's arms, and said, "No matter how old Chen'er is, he is grandmother's follower."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie couldn't help laughing when she thought of Xie Chen's pink and jade carvings when he was a child, with two small flower buds combed on his hair, and said, "Then grandma should stay with Chen'er for a little longer." After finishing speaking, she sent The nanny beside her went to get Xie Chen's favorite snacks that she had ordered earlier.

After finishing the snacks, Mrs. Xie said to her: "I heard that Xie Wan has a cold, so it's not convenient for me to go. You can take a look for me later."

The whole Xie family was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so they kept the matter of the two ladies being robbed. Xie Chen didn't want his grandmother to worry about him, so he didn't tell her, and nodded in agreement.
