Chapter 39
On the shore, after Xie Chen pushed Yan Yichen down, he saw Gu Hengyu standing behind and looking at him.

Xie Chen pretended to be nonchalant and said to Gu Hengyu: "I really don't know water, and I'm afraid that the third prince won't save Xie Wan, so I can only do something wrong." His expression was pitiful and innocent, and his eyes were full of love for Xie Wan. care.

"I understand." Gu Hengyu approached and looked down at Xie Chen.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the masked man who was subdued by Xie Chen on the ground and tried to push Xie Chen into the water, and said, "How do you plan to explain this person to them?"

Hearing the laughter of the crowd getting closer, Yan Yichen was also swimming ashore with Xie Wan in his arms.

Xie Chen looked at Gu Hengyu who was smiling and asking about his plan, and smiled back.

"Thank you, Lord Gu Xiaohou, for your help, otherwise Chen'er would be pushed into the water by this villain at this time." Xie Chen's voice was not loud but enough for everyone who came here to hear, with gratitude and anxiety in his tone.

The lady who approached obviously heard Xie Chen's words, and before she had time to ask about Xie Chen's situation, she saw Yan Yichen, who was soaked all over, holding Xie Wan ashore.

The clothes on the two of them were soaked, especially when Xie Wan just went back and changed the dress to a light apricot color, and now the dress soaked in water was wet and stuck to her uneven body.

The whispering voices of the people next to him were especially evident in this environment. Hearing these mocking voices and seeing the disgusted eyes of these people, Xie Chen seemed to have returned to his previous life for a moment, but now these gossips were all directed at Xie Wan.

"Cough cough...cough cough." Xie Wan woke up from Yan Yichen's arms, coughing the lake water stuck in her chest.

When Xie Wan regained her strength, she found herself in Yan Yichen's arms and realized that he had saved her. She looked at Yan Yichen with more admiration in her eyes, and reached out to touch Yan Yichen's face.

Before Yan Yichen could stop him, he heard a loud roar behind him.

"What are you doing?" Prime Minister Xie hurried over from the main hall after hearing the news reported by his servants, followed by a group of dignitaries from the city.

When I came here, I heard that Xie Wan fell into the water, and Prime Minister Xie was still very worried, but who would have thought that after seeing this scene, Prime Minister Xie held his breath in his chest, and felt the eyes of the people around him cast on him, afraid of thanking him. Wan continued to reprimand angrily.

After Xie Wan heard her father's roar, her body shivered, and then she looked around. Seeing that her heart was colder than the water in the lake just now, she wished she could faint into Yan Yichen's arms immediately. Never wake up again.

Yan Yichen didn't know what to do at this time. If he had Xie Chen in his arms today, he would marry Xie Chen despite the eyes and ridicule of others, but now he has only the concubine daughter of the prime minister's mansion in his arms. Is it true that he really wants to marry one by himself? Concubine can't make it?
Seeing Prime Minister Xie approaching, Yan Yichen helped Xie Wan to stand up, handed her over to the servant girl that Prime Minister Xie had brought, and said to Prime Minister Xie, "Sorry, it happened so suddenly. In order to save people, I still hope that Prime Minister Forgive me."

Yan Yichen's words were not wrong. Without him, Xie Wan might have drowned here today, but Xie Wan's reaction when he woke up made everyone think about it.

Prime Minister Xie certainly knew his daughter's thoughts about Yan Yichen, but he couldn't figure out what the third prince was thinking, so he could only say: "Thank you, third prince, for saving my little girl. Someday Xie will definitely come to thank you."

Seeing that Prime Minister Xie didn't want to talk about his and Xie Wan's affairs, his heart relaxed, and the expression on his face became more natural, he waved his hand and said, "You are welcome, Prime Minister, the most urgent thing now is to find out the truth, who is the real killer people."

Before the plan started, Yan Yichen took care of everything. The masked man was a confidant in his mansion, and his family was still in his hands, so he would never report himself.

Prime Minister Xie followed the steps given by Yan Yichen, looked at the masked man lying on the ground, asked someone to remove the gauze covering his face, and asked, "Who sent you to do this? What is the purpose?"

The masked man saw Yan Yichen's threatening gaze on him, and his heart was hardened. He pointed at Xie Chen and said, "It was her, it was the young lady who ordered me to kill the second young lady."

This is something that didn't happen in the previous life, Xie Chen couldn't help being unprepared.

"Just now I felt that Xie Chen was not easy to get along with, but I didn't expect..."

"Even if you hate Xie Wan, she is also her own sister."

Everyone's discussion gradually became louder, and they looked at Xie Chen with a questioning look, only Cheng Ying pulled the people around her to tell her not to speak.

Yan Yichen saw that everyone had ignored what happened to him and Xie Wan just now, and pointed the finger at Xie Chen. He was also looking forward to it, hoping that Xie Chen's reputation would become bad. In the end, only he was willing to marry her, and she could only ask to marry her. for myself.

Xie Chen glanced at the reactions of the crowd, and finally turned his gaze to the masked man, and said, "You said I ordered you? What evidence do you have? Are you going to convict me with just one word of your mouth?"

Naturally, the masked man couldn't think of any evidence, so he could only make up things and say, "Miss, how can you deny it? What's the benefit of me framing you, everything I said is true."

Before Xie Chen could speak, Gu Hengyu applauded and said, "Okay, framing her isn't good for you, but isn't it good for the people behind you?"

As he said that, Gu Hengyu squatted down, his eyes turned cold and he grabbed the man's neck, his tone was indifferent: "You think I'm blind? You planned to attack Xie Chen, but by accident, you pushed Xie Wan down. If I hadn't come in time, Xie Chen would probably be in the lake now."

Xie Chen couldn't help but be moved when he saw Gu Hengyu fulfilling the lie he had just started for himself, and still defending her in front of everyone.

"Yeah, I want to ruin Xie Chen's reputation with just one mouthful. Can't everyone see who benefits in the end?" Cheng Ying stood among the ladies and said, looking in Xie Chen's direction, with a firm tone.

Shen Yuzhi's mother also spoke, her voice gentle but firm: "Chen'er is not such a person."

As soon as the voice of support for Xie Chen came out, everyone felt that something was wrong for a while. Xie Chen couldn't be so stupid. Whether this matter is successful or not, it is of no benefit to Xie Chen.

Gu Hengyu let go of the hand that was pinching the masked man's neck, shook him away, stood up and ordered the guards beside him: "Take him away, and use all means to make him tell the truth."

Then he walked towards Prime Minister Xie and said, "Since you can't ask anything, Uncle, and I can't watch him slander Xie Chen for nothing, leave this person to me." Although he called Uncle Prime Minister Xie, his tone revealed that Can not refuse the meaning.

Prime Minister Xie is an official in the court, so he naturally knows that the emperor favors and trusts Gu Hengyu, and he also handed over the investigation of Minister Sun to Gu Hengyu yesterday, obviously for Gu Hengyu to use it as a stepping stone to become an official in the court, how dare he not Give Gu Hengyu this face.

Following Gu Hengyu's words, Prime Minister Xie said, "Then I'm here to thank Gu Xiaohou."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the butler beside him, and after receiving his gaze, the butler said apologetically in the direction of everyone: "This matter has delayed everyone's time. Today is mainly our young master's birthday, and the birthday party is only halfway through. Move to the main hall to continue."
