Chapter 38
Xie Chen didn't open the gift from Gu Hengyu at this time, but turned around and handed it to Jin Zhi, asking her to carefully put it back in the yard and open it again at night.

After Gu Hengyu saw it, he didn't say anything, and his expression didn't change at all.

Yan Yichen was still greeting Prime Minister Xie at the door, seeing the figures of Gu Hengyu and Xie Chen in front of him, the displeasure in his eyes became more and more obvious.

The guests are all here, Xie Chen let Yinhuan go to the kitchen and watch the servants serve the dishes one after another, so that nothing goes wrong.

"This is Chen'er, since you entered the palace when you were a child, you have rarely shown yourself." The wife of the Minister of War said affectionately while holding Xie Chen's hand.

The son of the Minister of the Ministry of War is a dude. Everyone in the capital knows that he was accused of being brought into the government half a month ago for robbing a civilian girl.

Xie Chen smiled at the wife of the Minister of War, and calmly took his hand away from her, "Thank you, auntie, for your concern."

The smile on the face of the wife of the servant of the Ministry of War froze, she withdrew her hand resentfully and stopped talking.

The wives didn't understand what they saw when they saw this scene. The wife of the servant of the Ministry of War wanted to climb up to the prime minister's mansion, but it was a pity that Xie Chen refused to accept the offer.

Sitting opposite Xie Chen was Shen Yuzhi's mother. After seeing this scene, she wanted to relieve Xie Chen and relieve the awkward atmosphere, so she said: "That's right, Chen'er and I haven't seen each other for a long time, we need to spend time with each other for a while." accompany me."

Shen Yuzhi's mother came from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. She had a gentle appearance and a very friendly personality, but she didn't know how to give birth to Shen Yuzhi's child who used to jump over the wall and play truant from school.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. Chen'er also thinks that Aunt Chu is thinking too hard. I will have a good talk with Auntie later." Xie Chen looked at Shen Yuzhi's mother with a smile on his face, and his tone was full of sincerity.

Shen Yuzhi's mother watched Gu Hengyu Xie Chen grow up with her own son. She was not in good health, but one of Shen Yuzhi's sons did not have a daughter. She regarded Xie Chen as her daughter since she was a child. Seeing that Xie Chen was willing to get close to her, she felt the same. Very happy.

The women in the house gathered together to boast about their husbands and complain about the aunts and concubines in the mansion. This made Aunt Jing not know what expression to put on her face while listening to her. She always felt that they were insinuating. The mistress of the house has the posture of being an aunt, no more noble than the aunts of other people present.

Xie Chen listened with a faint smile on his face, he was just a woman who hadn't left the court, so naturally he had to pretend not to understand the affairs of the inner house.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this servant will wipe it for you." When serving food from Xie Chen, a maid accidentally spilled soup on her clothes, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Sure enough, what happened in the previous life still happened, Xie Wan and the others still had their own ideas.

There was also this accident in the previous life. Due to the presence of outsiders, Xie Chen didn't get angry. He just said a few words to the maid and asked her to leave. He went to change his clothes, but on the way back after changing, he was caught Man designed to push down the water.

She didn't know how to swim at that time, struggling in the water and shouting for help, Yan Yichenchen saved her and destroyed her, even though she married Yan Yichen later, she still invited a master to teach herself how to enter the water.

At this time, Xie Chen raised his lips and looked at the hand of the maid who was about to wipe her clothes, "Come here, pull this maid down and sell it." There was a gentle smile on his face, but the words he said Like the cold ice in winter, it chilled the backs of everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but kept silent, because this is Xie's mansion, everything should be listened to by Xie Chen, even if someone thinks this is too much, they have to hold it in their hearts and not express it.

But Xie Wan didn't think that way, only when she clearly expressed Xie Chen's viciousness, could she appear noble, "Sister, she just made a small mistake, why is it like this?"

Her tone of voice showed her sympathy for that maid and her dissatisfaction with Xie Chen, and the maid who was kneeling on the ground also cried in response to the situation: "This servant really didn't do it on purpose, please don't sell this servant, please spare this once." Come on, miss."

Xie Chen didn't say a word, he pointed his eyes at Jin Zhi behind him, and Jin Zhi nodded after receiving the look from his young lady.

I saw Jin Zhi pick up the plate containing the vegetables that had just been "accidentally" spilled on Xie Chen's body, and also casually sprinkled it on Xie Wan's body, then knelt down and said: "Miss Wan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my servant will wipe it for you. "As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and wipe it for Xie Wan.

Xie Wan was taken aback for a moment, and when she realized that she had subconsciously pushed Jin Zhi's hand away, she couldn't hold back her face, Xie Wan said to Xie Chen with a bit of tears: "Sister, what are you doing?"

Xie Chen looked at Jin Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Xie Wan, "Why should my sister be like this, Jin Zhi just made a small mistake."

After finishing speaking, he stood up with the help of Jin Zhi, and said to the crying maid on the ground: "You should also get up, this time my sister begged for your mercy and you will only be fined three months of moon silver, you must thank my sister very much."

If you hadn't listened to Xie Wan, you wouldn't have come to this point.

The maid in front of her knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Xie Chen. Xie Chen didn't look at her but turned to Xie Wan and said, "Is my sister still satisfied? Since my sister's clothes were also accidentally stained, let's change them with my sister. "As he spoke, he took Xie Wan's hand, his face was full of tenderness.

Before leaving, Xie Chen saw that the men's side had already started to talk about the court affairs from poetry and poetry, and the women's side was a bit boring, and the conversation was only a few words, so Xie Chen arranged for the maids to come up and bring They went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, but they apologized and said they would be there later.

Seeing this, the ladies were concerned and told Xie Chen to go quickly, so there was no need to rush to entertain them.

Because Xie Chen's yard is closer to the main hall, Xie Wan changed her clothes in Xie Chen's yard for convenience and for the better progress of future plans.

On the way back, Xie Wan said apologetically, "Sister, just now in front of everyone, it was my sister who didn't think carefully, please don't be angry with my sister."

Seeing this, Xie Chen smiled and went to grab Xie Wan's hand, "Why? Sister... be careful!"

Before Xie Wan heard it clearly, the scene in front of her became blurred, and then she fell into the water with a "plop". Xie Wan didn't know how to swim, so she shouted for help, but no one came to save her.

Xie Wan watched Xie Chen on the shore laughing, the water was bitingly cold, gradually, she felt suffocated, and her thumping strength became less and less.

On the shore side, Xie Chen, because of his early preparations, subdued this masked man in two or three strokes. Looking at Xie Wan in the water, Xie Chen had a smile on his face. This feeling of suffocation and powerlessness finally thanked him. Wan also tasted it.

Seeing that Xie Wan's strength was getting weaker and weaker, Xie Chen squeezed out a few tears, with nervousness on his face, he shouted to the surroundings: "Help, come, help my sister."

Sure enough, Yan Yichen heard it.

Yan Yichen saw that it was Xie Wan who fell into the water, and blamed Xie Wan in his heart for not being able to do such a small thing. He didn't want to go into the water to save people, because he had already sent people to lead the guests here. Once Xie Wan was rescued, Everything is unclear.

He watched the spray splashed by Xie Wan on the water surface getting smaller and smaller, before he had time to talk to Xie Chen, he felt someone push his back and fell into the water himself.

After Yan Yichen fell into the water, he had no other choice. After a while, the guests were attracted by his own people. If he didn't save Xie Wan, it would be hard to explain why he went up safely. The prime minister's mansion might blame Xie Wan's death to him.
