Chapter 31
Listening to Xie Chen's jokes, Gu Hengyu knew that she was frightened by her sudden utterance outside the window just now, so she intentionally took revenge on her, so she followed her words and said, "So what if I'm a villain for you tonight? "

Xie Chen didn't continue to answer his words, and asked him: "What's going on in the Sun Mansion tomorrow?"

Thinking of what he and Shen Yuzhi found out this afternoon, Gu Hengyu replied: "It's about Sun Shilang being too sad after Sun Siyan's death, so he went to Dali Temple to return Sun Siyan's body, bury it properly, and do the funeral tomorrow."

Xie Chen nodded, and said, "It is well known that Sun Shilang loves women, and he probably regrets not accepting Sun Siyan's relationship with that scholar."

Speaking of the scholar, Xie Chen asked again: "Can you find out about Sun Siyan's lover today?"

Gu Hengyu nodded, and said to Xie Chen: "That scholar is dead, his body was dismembered and placed at the door of the bookstore."

After listening to Xie Chen, he remembered that after the case of Sun Siyan in his previous life, there seemed to be a dismemberment case that caused quite a stir in Beijing, but no one connected the two cases together.

"It must be an acquaintance committing the crime." Xie Chen said, only an acquaintance would know the relationship between the two.

Gu Hengyu was noncommittal.

"Are you going tomorrow?" Gu Hengyu asked Xie Chen, referring to the funeral organized by Sun's residence.

Xie Chen thought for a while, telling others that he had a personal relationship with Sun Siyan would not arouse suspicion, so he nodded and said, "Go."

Gu Hengyu nodded after hearing this, and then told Xie Chen: "Then follow closely tomorrow, and don't leave my sight, the murderer may be at the scene."

Xie Chen lived a new life, so naturally he cherishes his life. Although he has the ability to protect himself, it is better to be cautious in this kind of matter, so he nodded without refuting.

Seeing that Xie Chen was obedient, Gu Hengyu knew that it was late at night and it was not suitable for him to be in Xie Chen's boudoir, so he said to Xie Chen: "Go to rest earlier, see you tomorrow."

Xie Chen nodded, ready to open the door for Gu Hengyu to let him leave, but what he saw was Gu Hengyu's movement to open the window.

Xie Chen stopped Gu Hengyu and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you still used to looking through windows?"

Gu Hengyu didn't know what to say for a moment, he just stood aside and looked at Xie Chen with a smile and opened the door to let him out.

Looking at Gu Hengyu's running back, Xie Chen couldn't help but laughed out loud.

The next day, Xie Chen woke up and tidied himself up briefly, then took Yinhuan and Jin Zhi to Prime Minister Xie's study. Sun Shilang was a colleague of Prime Minister Xie, and Prime Minister Xie would definitely go to this kind of thing.

"Chen'er, why are you here?" Prime Minister Xie was about to go out, and was a little surprised to see Xie Chen, after all, Xie Chen had never taken the initiative to find him.

Xie Chen bowed to Prime Minister Xie, and said, "Father, are you going out to Sun's residence?"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Xie nodded to Xie Chen.

After Xie Chen saw it, he hesitated on his face, as if he didn't dare to say it, but in the end he mustered up his courage and said to Prime Minister Xie, "Father, can you take your daughter with you? My daughter once fell in love with Siyan. , I couldn’t sleep at night after knowing this, and I want to see her off today.”

Prime Minister Xie was supposed to be something important that made Xie Chen so hesitant, but when he heard about it, he agreed without even thinking about it, and said, "It's okay, you can go with me."

After hearing this, Xie Chen had a smile on his face, as if he was very grateful to Prime Minister Xie for giving her a chance to send her a friend.

When he arrived at the Sun Mansion, Xie Chen looked around, looking for Gu Hengyu's figure, but he couldn't find it after looking around, so he probably came a little early.

Prime Minister Xie walked towards the mansion with Xie Chen, only to see Minister Sun coming out to greet him, with Gu Hengyu and Shen Yuzhi beside him.

"Brother, my condolences." Prime Minister Xie spoke to Sun Shilang first, and seeing the sad expression on Sun Shilang's face, he advised him to mourn.

Sun Shilang seemed to be thinking of his daughter's death again, and tears welled up in his eyes full of vicissitudes.

After Xie Chen saw it, he took a step forward to persuade him: "Uncle Sun, my condolences, if Siyan sees you sad now, he will be even more sad."

Before Sun Shilang could speak, Xie Chen smelled a faint fragrance. She frowned lightly and met Gu Hengyu's eyes in the air. Obviously both of them noticed that the fake jade pendant was on Sun Shilang.

Sun Shilang didn't notice the strangeness around him, but he was a little confused about who Xie Chen was.

Prime Minister Xie took the initiative to introduce Xie Chen to him after seeing it: "This is the little girl Xie Chen."

After hearing this, Sun Shilang looked at Xie Chen, and said, "I've heard Brother Xie say that my daughter is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle and tough personality. When I saw her today, I think so."

After Xie Chen heard it, he bowed his head and saluted, "Uncle Sun is really a spoiled little girl when you say that." Prime Minister Xie must have never said these words to him, and anyone would say them just for the occasion.

As more and more people came, Sun Shilang couldn't get away to take care of them, so Prime Minister Xie also went to talk to his colleagues, glanced at Gu Hengyu who was beside Xie Chen, and said: "You take good care of Gu Xiaohou, When it's over, I will come to you again for my father."

Xie Chen nodded obediently.

After Prime Minister Xie left, Shen Yuzhi looked at Xie Chen and asked, "Why is sister Chen here today?"

Xie Chen looked at Gu Hengyu, asked him with his eyes if he didn't tell Shen Yuzhi, Gu Hengyu shook his head.

Seeing Gu Hengyu's reaction, Xie Chen could only explain to Shen Yuzhi: "I heard that the Sun Mansion is working, so I want to see if I can find any clues."

Shen Yuzhi nodded when he heard it, but didn't say much.

Xie Chen looked at Gu Hengyu and Shen Yuzhi, and asked them, "Have you noticed the fragrance on Sun Shilang's body?"

The two nodded at the same time.

"Then why did he send someone to take the jade pendant away? Could it be Sun Siyan who committed suicide?" After Xie Chen finished speaking, he felt that his idea was too outrageous.

Gu Hengyu said, "It's not certain yet, but Sun Siyan's death cannot be separated from him."

Thank you very much.

Shen Yuzhi looked at Sun Shilang who was talking to people in the distance, and saw that his face was still sad, and he couldn't help crying when others mentioned Sun Siyan, so he shook his head and said, "It's not like, Sun Shilang looked at So sad."

After hearing this, Xie Chen also glanced in Sun Shilang's direction, and suddenly thought of something, and asked them, "Where's Sun Siyan's aunt? Why haven't I seen you?"

Although Sun Siyan was born by his aunt and had a low status, he should be there at this time. Why is she not here now that her daughter is dead?

Gu Hengyu and the others naturally didn't know. Shen Yuzhi pulled a passing boy and asked casually, "Where's your lady's aunt? Why don't you see her?"

The boy didn't know why Shen Yuzhi asked this, so he didn't answer.

Seeing this, Shen Yuzhi gave him a few taels of silver, and asked again with his eyes.

The young man looked at the money in his hand, smiled broadly, and answered Shen Yuzhi's question: "Master, you mean Aunt Lian, she is in the backyard."

Feeling that Shen Yuzhi was generous, he also said a few more words: "But Aunt Lian is really strange. She was not sad when her daughter died. When I passed by that courtyard the day before yesterday, I heard her singing."

After Shen Yuzhi listened, he gave all the broken silver on his body to the boy, and then made a gesture of shutting his mouth.

The boy smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I still know this." Seeing that the money in his hand had increased again, he left satisfied.

"It's time to go to the backyard." Shen Yuzhi said to Gu Hengyu and Xie Chen who had just heard these words.

 I wish you all a happy new year!All the best~
