Chapter 1101: Just Message

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sword One nodded and headed towards the side yard of Xinlin Mansion.

Xie Yan was arranged to live in the side yard of Xinlin Mansion. He was fed, but no one served him. He could come to the yard and walk about, otherwise no one would trouble him.

He really liked his yard. So he was rarely seen somewhere else in the mansion. If Elder Miss needed him, Sword One would go and pa.s.s on the message.

Therefore Sword One was at Xie Yan’s yard while he was in the middle of drinking tea.

Seeing Sword One’s arrival, he showed a slightly complicated look on his face. He looked as if he were waiting for Sword One, and yet as if he had no intention of meeting Sword One. Xie Yan gave a slight cough, trying to conceal his embarra.s.sment.

!!

He sipped the tea and looked at Sword One. “What are you calling for me for?”

Then he took another sip of tea.

Xie Yan was very satisfied by the yard he had been provided in Xinlin Mansion. It was a relatively small mansion, and most of the things inside were simple and concise, but Xie Yan felt very comfortable living in such a place, compared to the luxury of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. The tea, for example, was very tasty. And Xie Yan liked it.

Except… Except that Gu Chaoyan’s maid came to disturb him every now and then.

That was what Xie Yan was thinking inwardly.

Sword One did not care. She showed a very calm expression on her face, asking, “Elder Miss is asking for you, and she is drinking tea in the yard. She wonders if you would like to have a chat with her?”

Xie Yan started to think about a lot of things, when he thought of how Gu Chaoyan was asking for him.

He asked carefully. “What did she want from me?”

Xie Yan was feeling quite defensive against Gu Chaoyan, that was why he asked the question.

Normally, he could just turn her down. After all, he already fulfilled his promise in the contract with Gu Chaoyan, and there was nothing more he needed to do, but Xie Yan had the intention of meeting her. Subconsciously, he felt that Gu Chaoyan was a very good person to rely on.

And he used to be the Crown Prince’s strategist, so he was a little bit arrogant about his past experience.

With the complicated emotions mixed, Xie Yan came up with such a twisted situation.

However… Sword One was not a very understanding person.

Hearing the question, she said straightforwardly, “I am just here to pa.s.s on the message, Elder Miss has told me nothing about what she wants. If you don’t want to meet her, I can pa.s.s on your message to Elder Miss as well.”

Elder Miss did not tell Sword One to force Xie Yan to join them, so it depended on Xie Yan whether he was going to come. Sword One only needed his answer, which was the way Sword One dealt with things.

Xie Yan snorted.

What else would she want from him? Gu Chaoyan was a very evil person, so she was probably trying to set him up.
