Chapter 10 Moon Viewing

When Sui Yan got up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

Sui Xun had just returned from court, and was now practicing swordplay in the main courtyard in a single layer of clothing. The sound of the sharp sword breaking through the air made a whistling sound, and the new snow on the ground was blown into the air.

Sui Yan, wrapped in a thick cloak, holding a rabbit in his arms, stood under the corridor and looked out secretly.

In the past, when his two brothers practiced swordplay, Sui Yan would stay far away to avoid upsetting them.

Haitang followed him and said carefully, "Master, this is a windy place, why don't we go inside and rest."

Sui Yan shook his head, staring at Sui Xun's figure, and said, "How long can brother stay this time? He won't go back after the New Year, right?"

Haitang said, "There is no war at the border right now, so the Second Young Master will probably not leave until after the 15th."

Sui Yan counted on his fingers, thinking that they still had more than half a month to spend together, and he felt a little relieved.

Sui Yan stared at Sui Xun. When Sui Xun stopped to drink some water, he called Hai Tang over and urged him, "Bring a cloak. Brother is wearing so little. What if he catches a cold?"

He was afraid of the cold, so he thought everyone in the world was afraid of the cold.

Haitang said helplessly: "Young Master, how can you let the Second Young Master practice swordplay while wearing a cloak?"

Sui Yan finally realized that he had made a fool of himself. He said hesitantly, "Well...then you should wear more clothes. It's so cold..."

Haitang advised: "The Second Young Master grew up in the army, he is strong and healthy, he won't get sick easily."

Sui Yan had no choice but to stop thinking about it, but there was still some worry in his eyes.

After watching for a while, the servant from yesterday came in hurriedly. Sui Yan glanced at him and said, "Haitang, get me a small hand warmer."

Haitang didn't suspect anything and ran away happily.

The attendant knelt down and bowed, saying, "Young Marquis, Miss Yuejian has replied to your letter and wants to meet you."

Sui Yan flicked his rabbit ears and said nonchalantly, "Okay, got it. Don't tell anyone about this, not even my brother."

The attendant raised his head hesitantly and said, "Yes."

"What is it that even I can't tell you?"

Sui Xun's voice suddenly came from behind. Sui Yan was startled and his body became unstable. He fell under the railing and fell into Sui Xun's arms again.

Sui Xun had walked to the corridor without knowing when. He had put away his sword and sweat had broken out on his forehead due to the cold. He frowned and helped Sui Yan up. He said, "What have you done to make you feel guilty?"

Sui Yan sat up quickly and said hesitantly, "I've met my brother. I... I just wanted him to take me out to play secretly..."

Sui Xun was very disgusted with Sui Yan's playful nature, but he didn't say anything harsh. He just said, "Why do you have to sneak out to play? Is there someone watching you?"

Sui Yan seized the opportunity to complain quietly: "Uncle Zhao said that I am not fully recovered yet and I need to follow the doctor's advice and go out less. But I am much better now, and he still won't let me go out."

Sui Xun's face flashed with coldness, and he said directly: "You are the young master of the Sui family. When no one is at home, you are the one who makes the decisions about the affairs of the mansion. If you want to go out and play, go out and play. You don't have to be controlled by others."

Sui Yan's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Thank you, brother."

Sui Xun said nothing more and turned back to continue practicing swordplay. Afterwards, no one knew what he said to Li Zhao, and the old steward no longer watched over him all day.

Sui Yan released himself and ran out without stopping with the small hand warmer in his hand. However, before he could run out of one street, he bumped into Jiang Enhe who was being chased by people.

To put it nicely, Jiang Enhe's personality is naive and innocent, to put it bluntly, he is just stupid. Perhaps it was because he and Sui Yan had a rare peaceful time together a few days ago that made him temporarily less hostile towards Sui Yan.

He saw Sui Yan, and without noticing the rejection and disgust on Sui Yan's face, he came over.

"What a coincidence, young marquis, you are out for a walk too!" Jiang Enhe put his hands around his neck and said in a very familiar manner, "I am just about to go to Xiangguo Temple. I heard that the eminent monk of Xiangguo Temple has returned from training abroad. Everyone is vying to see the eminent monk. Do you want to go with me?"

Sui Yan had the urge to smash the small hand warmer in his hand on his forehead, but then he remembered that this small hand warmer was a gift from Duan Mingchong, so he stopped himself. He smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang, you should go by yourself. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you for long."

As he spoke, he shook off Jiang Enhe's hand and was about to leave. Jiang Enhe quickly said, "I'm serious. It is said that the monk can even tell a person's past and present lives. He is so amazing. Your Majesty may invite him to the palace on New Year's Eve this year. Hey! Forget about returning home!"

Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What's the name of that monk?"

"It seems that the French number is even snowier."

Sui Yan took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I'll visit you another day. I have something urgent to do today. Bye."

Having said that, he left quickly.

Sui Yan was in a hurry to leave in order to find Yue Jian.

If he remembered correctly, today was the day when the Fifth Prince went to Wanhua Tower, became obsessed with Yue Jian's beauty and redeemed him and brought him back to the Prince's Palace. It was also the beginning of Yue Jian's tragedy in his previous life.

Holding his cloak, he quickly walked through the busy street and entered the brothel. The old brothel owner was very impressed by this man who only ate steamed buns and never ordered girls every time he came to the brothel. When she saw him, she didn't even greet him.

Sui Yan grabbed the servant and said, "I want to see Yue Jian."

The servant was stunned and said hesitantly: "Miss Yuejian has a guest now, why don't you wait for a while..."

Sui Yan frowned: "Then how long should I wait?"

The servant smiled and said, "Maybe more than an hour."

Sui Yan took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Give me some steamed buns."

Servants: “…”

The servant's lips twitched: "Okay."

Sui Yan ate his steamed bun obediently. After waiting for two hours, the servant finally came to greet him.

There was a strong aroma of wine in Yuejian's room, mixed with a hint of late cherry blossoms.

Yue Jian was sitting on a small couch by the window in a bright red gown, looking down at the long street below with her eyes lowered, her glass-like eyes full of coldness.

Sui Yan walked in and the door was closed by the servant.

Yue Jian tilted her head slightly, glanced at him, and didn't move.

Sui Yan reached out and adjusted the beaded curtain beside him, and said nonchalantly, "Have you thought about what I said?"

Yue Jian's eyes moved, and her face looked a little tired: "Why do you know?"

Sui Yan held a bead in his hand and said calmly, "Which aspect do you mean? Do you know that you were originally the eldest son of the Yin family, and that you ended up living in a brothel because of the Yin family's failure? Or do you know that the person who came to see you just now was the Fifth Prince's man?"

Yue Jian shuddered violently, and the feminine charm on her face and body disappeared instantly. Although her face was covered with makeup, it could not hide the fact that she was a man.

Sui Yan made two "tsk tsk" sounds. When he met Yue Jian in his previous life, he had already regained his male body. Although he knew that he had dressed as a woman before, he still couldn't imagine what the scene was like.

In this life, I have witnessed how this man can dress up as a woman so perfectly. He can hide the heroic spirit between his brows with just a look and a movement. It is truly astonishing.

If Sui Yan hadn't known he was Yue Jian at first, he would have probably mistaken him for a woman.

Yue Jian looked at him almost indifferently.

Sui Yan was unmoved, holding the small hand stove, he said calmly: "You still have half a day to think about whether to go with me or with the Fifth Prince. But I can tell you directly that if you go to the Fifth Prince's mansion, your life may be ruined."

You will become a prostitute who depends on men for their favors every day, without any freedom at any moment, restricted everywhere, and everything goes wrong.

Yue Jian's lips moved slightly.

Sui Yan said: "I know why you want to sneak into the Fifth Prince's Mansion. You just want to avenge your father. But have you ever thought that no matter how hidden a person's identity is, as long as there are people and money, no matter how well you hide, you will be discovered one day."

Sui Yan walked up to him, looked down at him, and finally curled his lips into a smile, stretched out his hand and gently lifted his chin, and said with a smile: "First of all, you entered the Fifth Prince's house, and your identity as a man is the first thing that cannot be hidden."

Yue Jian closed her eyes slightly, a trace of shame flashed across her face.

Sui Yan's smile deepened: "The Fifth Prince doesn't care about men or women. If he is exposed, he probably won't be too angry about a beauty like you. He will just..."

He leaned over to Yue Jian's ear and whispered a few words, but Yue Jian suddenly waved his hand away and said in a sharp voice, "Enough!"

Sui Yan smiled: "If you choose him, you will naturally encounter these things. Why, you are allowed to do this but I am not allowed to say it, what's the reason?"

Yue Jian was very angry with him. After taking a few breaths, she said, "I am a prostitute. Even if I pretend to sell my art but not my body, I still can't get rid of the fact that I am a prostitute. Isn't it for this kind of thing that I redeemed a prostitute?"

He paused and said, "Aren't you?"

Sui Yan's smile froze.

Yue Jian thought he was guilty, and sneered, saying, "Everyone in the capital says that although the young marquis is naughty and dissolute, he is very self-disciplined. He came to the brothel just to eat steamed buns. Who would have thought... Ha!"

This "huh" frightened Sui Yan's face pale. He was at a loss for words: "No, what did my servant say to you that made you think I was interested in you?"

Yue Jian gritted her teeth and spoke word by word: "He told me to be obedient and serve the young marquis well, so that I won't suffer in the future."

Sui Yan: “…”

Who are those people that my father left behind? They can't even pass on a message?

Sui Yan was almost in despair: "What about the letter I sent you? Have you read it?"

Yue Jian nodded: "I have read it, every word is absurd and every sentence is obscene."

Sui Yan: “…”

You're not the right way to suspect someone of stealing your axe!

Sui Yan was so angry that he was almost breathless. After a long while, he said, "I'm only... fifteen."

Yue Jiandao: "At the age of dancing with a spoon, the lust is bold and unrestrained."

In the previous life, Yue Jian had a very sharp tongue and often choked Sui Yan to the point where he couldn't speak. Unexpectedly, in this life, he hadn't experienced any of those damn hardships and was not much to blame.

Sui Yan covered his chest with his hands and was so angry that his soul almost ascended to heaven.

He panted for a long time, and when he saw Yue Jian's expression of looking at a beast, he suddenly became angry and said coldly: "Your sister is in my hands."

Yue Jian: “…”

Now it was Yue Jian's turn to press her chest in anger.

Sui Yan finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Have you made up your mind whether you want to come with me?"

Yue Jian looked at him with gritted teeth, looking as if she wanted to bite him to death.

After a long time, he stared at Sui Yan with humiliation and said, "I...I'll go with you. Don't touch my sister."

Sui Yan was completely proud and felt quite pleased with himself for having turned the tables.
