Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

"Why haven't you left yet?" Shen Yan asked Xie Huaijing, her tone much more polite.

"Waiting for you." Xie Huaijing smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your help with today's matter. I have remembered this favor and will definitely repay it in the future." Shen Yan said gratefully.

Xie Huaijing said, "You don't have to wait until later, just pay it back now."

"What do you want me to do?" Shen Yan asked.

"I'm hungry, come with me to have a meal." Xie Huaijing's peach blossom eyes were like millions of stars.

It was getting dark now. Shen Yan had only eaten one cake today and she was already hungry.

However, she could persevere even if she went without food for another day. In the past, she would often go without food or drink for a day or two during missions.

But she didn't like feeling hungry.

Now when I return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest princess and the others are making things difficult for her. She will probably have to go through a lot of trouble to have a meal.

Xie Huaijing probably took this into consideration, so he asked her to eat with him. It seemed like he was repaying her, but in fact he was helping her in different ways.

Shen Yan looked at Xie Huaijing and said, "Okay."

Xie Huaijing's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and his face was full of smiles. It was indeed the Shen Yan he knew. She was neat and tidy in doing things, unlike other women who were shy and pretentious.

"Come on, I'll take you to a special place that you must have never been to."

Shen Yan nodded and followed Xie Huaijing.

On the way, Xie Huaijing asked Shen Yan, "Why did the emperor leave you here?"

Shen Yan did not hide anything, "The Emperor asked me a question, how to strengthen Da Qin based on its current situation."

She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Huaijing, "Do you know why the emperor asked me this question?"

She felt that Emperor Xuande was testing her, and she felt that Xie Huaijing should know Emperor Xuande's purpose.

Xie Huaijing raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that Emperor Xuande, like him, already knew that the real Shen Yan was back.

He smiled and said, "Maybe the emperor has asked you the same question before."

Shen Yan didn't speak, but frowned slightly. She felt that there seemed to be a secret hidden in her body.

However, now that she is here, she will find out the truth.

Seeing that Shen Yan stopped talking, Xie Huaijing took the initiative to find a topic and told Shen Yan everything about the capital.

In less than half an hour, Shen Yan followed Xie Huaijing to a wonton stall.

"It's dark now and other big restaurants have closed. I can only take you here. But don't underestimate this place. The wontons here are no worse than those in big restaurants." Xie Huaijing explained to Shen Yan.

"Okay." Shen Yan could already smell the fragrance of wontons. She was not someone who disliked roadside stalls. Sometimes, the real delicacies were hidden in such inconspicuous stalls.

Listening to Shen Yan's calm voice, Xie Huaijing knew that she had no objection, so he was so happy that he shouted to the boss, "Mother-in-law, please have two bowls of wontons, one without green onions."

"Okay, please sit down first." The boss was an old woman, and she smiled kindly when she saw Xie Huaijing.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yan knew that Xie Huaijing was a regular customer.

After a while, the old woman came over with two bowls of wontons and placed them in front of Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing.

The wontons in front of Xie Huaijing had green onions floating on them, but Shen Yan's ones didn't.

"Mother-in-law, why are there so many more wontons today than usual?" Xie Huaijing asked with a smile.

The old lady smiled so much that she narrowed her eyes, "It's the first time that the young master brought his wife here today, so I specially made more. I hope the young lady won't find it objectionable."

"I..." Shen Yan was about to explain that she was not a young lady, but Xie Huaijing immediately spoke, "She won't dislike it."

"That's good, young lady, eat more. If there's not enough food, I'll cook it. I'll treat you today." The old woman said cheerfully.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Shen Yan said.

"Then you eat slowly, I won't disturb you anymore." The old woman said and left.

Xie Huaijing looked at Shen Yan, "How do you like it?"

Shen Yan took a bite of the wontons, which were rich in fragrance and tender in texture, "very good."

"That's good." Xie Huaijing arched his eyebrows and took a sip of soup.

"How do you know I don't eat onions?" Shen Yan asked.

"You told me." Xie Huaijing explained, "The first time we had pie together, you said you didn't eat onions, so I picked out all the onions in the pie."

"The pancake I ate today didn't have green onions in it," Shen Yan said.

Xie Huaijing further explained, "That's because I specifically told the boss that he didn't add green onions."

Shen Yan was speechless.

Xie Huaijing said, "Miss Shen, one day you will know that what I say is true. Let's not talk about it for now. Eat it quickly. The wontons should be eaten while they are hot to be delicious."

"If what you said is true, then why do I have no memory of what you said?" Shen Yan asked.

Xie Huaijing's eyes darkened, "I don't know, as promised..."

He hesitated to speak, and finally changed the subject after a moment of silence, "Let's eat wontons."

Shen Yan saw that Xie Huaijing had something to hide, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After the two of them finished eating wontons, Xie Huaijing took out the money and put it on the table, then sent Shen Yan back home.

When we arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the moon was already rising above the willow branches.

"Miss Shen."

"Ok?"

"If you need anything, you can come to Zhennan Palace to find me. No one in the palace will stop you."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Yan turned around and walked towards the door of the house.

Xie Huaijing watched her figure disappear at the door of the house before getting into the carriage and leaving.

Shen Yan came to the residence based on her memory. She gently opened the door, and immediately, a murderous aura rushed towards her face.

The killer is fast, and Shen Yan is even faster.

The moment the killer attacked, Shen Yan snatched the sword from the killer's hand and chopped off his hand.

"what!"

The killer screamed.

Shen Yan didn't give the killer time to react, then knocked him to the ground, stepped on his chest, pulled off the mask on his face, and shouted in a cold voice, "Who sent you here?"

This was a killer she didn't recognize.

The killer had calmed down. He did not expect that Shen Yan, who was known as a useless person, was superior to one of his secret guards in martial arts.

"Kill or chop him into pieces, don't expect to get any information from me!" the secret guard said.

Shen Yan sneered and said in a light tone, "Really?"

The secret guard shuddered when he saw Shen Yan's stern eyes. He didn't understand why the good-for-nothing Shen Yan was more terrifying to him than his master.

"Then let me see how hard your bones are!" Shen Yan pulled out the hairpin from her head and inserted it directly into the killer's acupuncture point.

"what!!"

The killer screamed, his body twisted in pain for a moment, but his consciousness was very clear. This is the so-called life worse than death.

"Who sent you here?" Shen Yan asked again.

The killer was so painful that he lost his mind, "It's the third prince!"
