So, at this moment, only Shen Xiuyan and his wife, and Gu Yunchen were left.
"Alas! Third Brother, since you refuse to believe it, there's nothing much I can say. But you can observe carefully for a while first!
What I can assure you is that none of us are playing tricks or doing anything behind the scenes about this matter, and we are all honest and have a clear conscience!"
Li Tingxue seemed to have suddenly remembered something important and said quickly, "Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that it's time for Le'an to feed. I have to go and feed Le'an!"
After saying this, she left the place as quickly as if her feet were greased.
"Well, I'll go over and see Le'an too." Seeing this, Chen Xiuyan echoed and hurriedly followed his wife's footsteps and left.
Now it was great, in the blink of an eye even Shen Xiuyan and his wife ran away.
Gu Yunchen: “…”
Looking at the people who were fleeing in a hurry one after another, Gu Yunchen couldn't help but fall silent.
He muttered to himself: I only made a brief probing move, I didn't do anything, so why would they flee like this? And each one faster than the other.
Could it be that, as he guessed, these people had something to hide, which was why they felt guilty and afraid?
…………
It was late at night, everything was quiet, and most people were immersed in their dreams.
At this moment, in Qingsong Courtyard, Gu Yunchen, who was originally lying on the bed sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, which were originally tightly closed, without any warning!
His eyes were clear and bright, without any trace of sleepiness or blurriness. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this man had not slept at all.
He quickly jumped out of bed and put on his shoes with swift and skillful movements.
After leaving the yard, Gu Yunchen's sharp eyes swept around sharply, carefully confirming that there was no one else in the yard.
The surroundings were completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects to notice. It seemed he had been overthinking things before.
After making sure that no one was watching him, Gu Yunchen acted cautiously.
He cleverly avoided the old women and servants who were guarding outside the house, and also evaded two groups of patrolling guards.
During the entire process, his footsteps were so light that almost no sound could be heard, and he sneaked towards Songhe Garden without anyone noticing.
After arriving at Songhe Garden, Gu Yunchen did not rush in rashly, but searched the garden carefully first.
He did not miss any corner, every patch of grass, behind every tree, and even the cracks between the rockery rocks.
But to his disappointment, after this thorough search, he did not find anything suspicious, nor did he notice anything strange.
So, having gained nothing, Gu Yunchen no longer hesitated and walked straight into the main house of Songhe Garden, which was also the room where Jiang Mianmian slept.
But who could have expected that the moment he stepped into the house and suddenly looked up, he would meet a pair of equally astonished eyes!
And the owner of these eyes was none other than his biological mother, Jiang Mianmian! They glared at each other, one glaring at the other, the other rolling their eyes.
It turned out that Jiang Mianmian, who was thirsty in the middle of the night, had just gotten up and was about to pour some water to moisten her throat. She never expected that at this time she would run into her beloved son, who sneaked into her room.
Could it be that this kid stayed up so late at night just to come and "steal" something from her? For a moment, both mother and son were stunned, their eyes meeting, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward...
[Uh... should I pretend I didn't see it, or should I just pretend I really didn't see it?]
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was extremely conflicted and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
"Mother...I...I..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something to the person in front of him, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to start.
At this moment, without waiting for Gu Yunchen to explain, Jiang Mianmian pretended not to see him, and then turned around quickly, as if she had not noticed him at all.
Jiang Mianmian walked back to the bed slowly and sat down. She even hummed softly: "Close your eyes and it will be dark..." She looked like a sleepwalker.
Sleepwalking!
[Sleepwalking! Yes, I am sleepwalking now!]
【This excuse is really perfect! 】
Gu Yunchen: “…”
He stared quietly at Jiang Mianmian's back, only to see her humming a song while pretending to sleep with her back to him.
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian's inner thoughts were extremely rich. Gu Yunchen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly when listening to these thoughts.
Even as Gu Yunchen turned and left, he could still hear his mother's faint, half-hearted voice. "Oh! This is truly outrageous!"
