After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 28 Found a Letter
The next morning, when Xie Chen got up, it was still a while before the time for chanting scriptures and praying in the morning. Pushing the door, she saw that Yinhuan was packing the luggage that was to be taken away in the afternoon. ?”

Yinhuan nodded after hearing this, and said to Xie Chen: "My servant will come back to tidy up the things in Miss's room today at noon."

"It's okay, I don't have many things in that room, I can clean it up by myself at noon, you can come back at noon and rest." Seeing that Yinhuan seemed to wake up very early this morning, Xie Chen thoughtfully said.

Yinhuan wanted to say something more, but seeing Xie Chen not allowing her to refuse, she nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you miss."

This morning's chanting and praying was the last time. When Xie Chen walked to the main hall with Yinhuan, he saw that Gu Hengyu had already arrived first. With yesterday's experience, Xie Chen didn't feel particularly awkward.

Xie Chen approached Gu Hengyu, told him that he had already stood beside him.

Everyone arrived one after another, and the process was the same as before. After Master Keats arrived, everyone knelt down and chanted sutras with the master.

When he was about to stand up after chanting and praying this time, in order to prevent what happened yesterday from happening again, Xie Chen had already made preparations. Instead of doing what he did before, he would relax for a while, stand up slowly, and move very carefully.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen's appearance beside him, a smile appeared on Junyi's face, and he didn't say much.

When everyone walked out of the hall together, Xie Chen suddenly thought of something. He and Gu Hengyu slowed down their steps, watching everyone's figures gradually walk away, turned around and walked back to Master Keats.

"Master, my little girl has something to ask." Xie Chen bowed to Master Keats, and then said.

After Master Keats saw it, he clasped his palms together to thank Chen, nodded and said, "Please tell me, benefactor."

Xie Chen hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Gu Hengyu, who nodded towards her.

"Master, have you seen Sun Siyan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites in the temple a few days ago?" Xie Chen asked, although Sun Siyan was a concubine, she was very much loved by the Minister of Rites.

When Master Keats heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he said, "Where did the benefactor say this? Donor Sun has never been to the temple."

Seeing Master Keats' expression, Xie Chen thought that he must have also heard about Sun Siyan's death, so he didn't understand what she said.

"Don't blame Master, my daughter just thinks Miss Sun's death is a bit strange." Seeing Master Keats's appearance, Xie Chen probably didn't notice that Sun Siyan came here.

Afterwards, Xie Chen asked Master Keats some more about the ritual, but did not mention Sun Siyan again.

After returning to their respective courtyards, Xie Chen always felt something strange, but she was going back to Beijing in the afternoon, and she really couldn't figure it out, so she started to pack the luggage she was going to bring back to Beijing this afternoon.

She didn't bring a lot of luggage this time, mostly clothes and hair accessories that she needs to change in daily life. Apart from taking some extra scriptures that she copied, the rest is easy to take care of.

It's just that when she was tidying up the dressing table, she accidentally dropped her earrings in the gap between the dressing table and the wall, making it a bit difficult to pick up.

It’s fine if it’s ordinary earrings, but this one was left to her by her mother, Princess Yuning. Xie Chen can only slowly move the dressing table away. Fortunately, the dressing table is not big and not heavy, and she can move it by herself. Don't bother anyone else.

After removing the dressing table, I found that there were a lot of things dropped there, including her earrings, and jewelry that others accidentally dropped here.

She squatted down, picked up her earrings, and wiped them clean with a handkerchief. While wiping, she saw a letter in the corner from the corner of her eyes. It was different from other dropped jewelry. Letters are such private things, so don’t say them. The chance of falling is small, even if it accidentally falls here, you should pick it up again.

After Xie Chen put his earrings back into the jewelry box, he still went to pick up the letter, and saw that it said: Accepted by Siyan.

Xie Chen's eyes were shocked, and he unfolded the letter.

After opening it, Xie Chen saw that the letter was still a little wrinkled, presumably Sun Siyan read it over and over again, which shows how important this letter is to Sun Siyan.

Xie Chen carefully looked at the above content, and the thoughts in his heart gradually became clear. It turned out that Sun Siyan had someone he liked, and the letter said that it should be a scholar who opened a bookstore in the city. Elope, and the time of meeting is the time when Sun Siyan was killed, and the place is the house where Xie Chen is now.

After reading it, Xie Chen knew that Sun Siyan should have come here to meet someone he likes and fled overnight, but the first person who arrived was not a scholar but a murderer. The murderer must also be someone Sun Siyan knew well. Sun Siyan knew that he would be in danger, so he hid the letter In a place that may never be found.

But Sun Shilang dotes on this daughter so much, how did she come to the point where she agreed to elope?
Taking advantage of two or three hours before the people sent by Prime Minister Xie to pick them up would arrive, Xie Chen hurriedly took the letter to Gu Hengyu's yard to find him.

"What's the matter?" Gu Hengyu opened the door, saw Xie Chen in front of him looking anxious, with sweat on his forehead from trotting over, and asked.

Xie Chen was a little short of breath and hadn't spoken yet. Gu Hengyu turned to one side, looked at her and said, "Come in first, let's have a sip of tea before we talk."

Xie Chen nodded, entered Gu Hengyu's room, and saw Shen Yuzhi sitting at the table, drinking tea and looking at her.

Shen Yuzhi waited for Xie Chen to sit down, saw her take a sip of tea and her breath calmed down, and then asked, "Sister Chen, what happened, are you in such a hurry?"

Xie Chen handed them the letter in his hand, Gu Hengyu took it and opened it, and Shen Yuzhi approached to read it with him.

After reading it, Gu Hengyu asked Xie Chen aloud: "Where did this letter come from?"

"When I was packing up my things, the earrings accidentally fell into the gap between the dressing table and the wall. After I opened it, this letter was also inside. I don't think such private things will be left in there casually, so I just take it. Get up." Xie Chen told them the truth about the situation at that time.

Gu Hengyu nodded, and said to Xie Chen: "The room you live in may be the place where Sun Siyan died."

Xie Chen thought that when he first came, he found that the floor of the house was a little dirty and there were mud marks, which should be the traces left by the murderer, and the water in the teapot should be that Sun Siyan was killed before he had time to drink, so he couldn't help feeling a little chilly.

Seeing Xie Chen's reaction, Gu Hengyu knew that she was a little scared, so she stopped talking about it, and drew her attention to the content of the letter, saying: "Sun Siyan should have been killed without seeing anyone, and then the murderer took her The body was thrown on the way back, the murderer should have returned to Beijing."

After Shen Yuzhi heard it, he also expressed his conjecture: "Then is it possible that the murderer is Sun Siyan's lover? Besides him, who else would know about this matter so early?"

Xie Chen also had this idea in his mind just now, but he immediately denied it.

Before Xie Chen could say anything, Gu Hengyu opened his mouth to explain to Shen Yuzhi: "It shouldn't be, whether Sun Siyan didn't pick it up after dropping it or hid the letter, it was all to protect the person he likes. The murderer probably didn't know about their agreement. Exact time of departure."

Xie Chen nodded after listening, she thought so too.

Things became more and more complicated and confusing, and more and more people were involved.

"After I return to Beijing, I'll go and see if the owner of the bookstore in the city is missing or has something different." Shen Yuzhi said, this is actually easy to find, because it is confirmed that the person is a scholar, and there is a high probability that he is a son of his age. , there should be news soon.
