Chapter 5 Poisoning

However, Sui Yan's good mood did not last long. After a while, there was a commotion at the door of Wanhua Tower, and a young man in brocade clothes was surrounded by a group of people.

The madam smiled at him and seemed to be of high status.

Sui Yan was still fiddling with his rabbit ears, looking at the table full of sweets with a sad face.

He had just moved so much food on impulse, but he overestimated his body that had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was full after eating only two.

He was worrying about what to do with the things in front of him when suddenly there was a dark cloud in front of him and then a person sat down opposite him very rudely.

Sui Yan raised his head in confusion, and seeing the young master in front of him with a frown on his face, he said, "This young master..."

The young master glared at him: "Don't play dumb! I heard that you were dying, so why are you still alive and kicking now?"

Sui Yan was a little confused.

The young master slammed the table and said angrily, "I know! You must be here to snatch the beauty from me again! Sui Yan, why are you still so shameless? Do you have to take whatever I want?!"

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan was just eating a steamed bun when he was scolded by a stranger for no reason. His good mood was ruined.

Sui Yan lost his patience and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The young man was full of disbelief: "After you fell into the water once, did your brain get wet? You can't even recognize me anymore?"

The words sounded somewhat familiar. Sui Yan frowned and tried to identify them for a long time before he finally found some memories about this person from the corners.

This young man in brocade clothes is named Jiang Enhe, he is fourteen years old, and he is the youngest son of Jiang Zhiyuan, the chief secret agent of the dynasty.

It is said that when he was young, Sui Yan was arrogant and unbridled. He relied on his status to behave domineeringly in the capital and offended many people. All the famous noblemen in the capital often made enemies with him, and this young master Jiang was the one with whom he had the biggest grudge.

Sui Yan couldn't remember how he had come into conflict with Jiang Enhe in the first place, but whenever the two of them met, there would be a bloody storm.

Sui Yan narrowed his eyes and said lazily, "Oh, it's Young Master Jiang. What's the matter? A few days ago, I got a mad dog. Could it be that I was also infected with madness by that beast?"

Gan Enhe almost exploded: "You!"

When Sui Yan saw him like this, he vaguely remembered that they had a feud over a miniature dog.

Sui Yan was immediately confused and thought to himself that he was a real idiot when he was young. No wonder his peers avoided him.

It looked like Jiang Enhe was about to overturn the table, but at this moment, a series of piano sounds suddenly came from the platform on the second floor, breaking the confrontation between the two.

Jiang Enhe immediately put down his feet from the stool, raised his head slightly and looked at the beautiful figure behind the bead curtain on the second floor, and his anger was completely suppressed.

Sui Yan was a little surprised. Could it be that Jiang Enhe was really infected and went crazy?

Sui Yan had eaten and drunk his fill, and had made fun of others for his own amusement. He was in a good mood, and he also looked towards the second floor in the direction of Jiang Enhe's gaze.

The sound of the piano continued, melodious and beautiful, as if the surroundings were not a dusty place with beautiful women and white bones, but a remote mountain forest with red plum blossoms dancing in the snow.

Sui Yan's expression became a little strange.

When the song ended, the people who were looking for prostitutes in the lobby immediately applauded.

Jiang Enhe clapped his hands so hard that his palms were about to turn into pig trotters. His face was flushed. He even nudged Sui Yan with his elbow and said, "Hey! Hey, it sounds nice, right? This is the sound of the most beautiful lady in Wanhualou. You can't usually encounter it. You are really lucky today!"

Sui Yan thought to himself that I was lucky and would not run into you. He sat aside in disgust to avoid the pork elbow and said, "What are you doing here? To visit a prostitute? Tsk, that's right. At your age, it's time to broaden your horizons."

Jiang Enhe's face flushed red, and he slammed the table and said, "Don't compare me with you! I'm not here to have sex, I'm just here to listen to the music."

Sui Yan smiled and said, "Come to the flower shop to listen to the piano? Young Master Jiang really has a refined taste."

Jiang Enhe glanced at the steamed buns on the table and asked, "Then what are you doing in Wanhualou? To eat steamed buns?"

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan didn't want to lose face in front of the half-grown children, so he said nonsense: "No, I just ate the steamed buns because I thought they looked unique and fresh. I came here to win the courtesan of the brothel this time."

Jiang Enhe glared at him: "See, I told you that you are here to snatch the beauty from me!"

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan was speechless: "The person who played the piano just now is the courtesan of Wanhualou?"

Jiang Enhe: “Yeah!”

Seeing Sui Yan's expression getting more and more strange, Jiang Enhe thought he had misunderstood and quickly explained: "Yue Jian sells her art but not her body, which is different from others!"

Sui Yan suppressed a smile: "Yeah, I know."

Jiang En frowned: "Why do I feel like you are mocking her?"

Sui Yan coughed dryly and said, "No, there is no such thing. The song just now is very good. I don't know what the relationship between Mr. Jiang and him is. Can you introduce him to me?"

The resentment of a young man would not last long. When Jiang Enhe heard Sui Yan praising Yue Jian, his eyes immediately lit up and he grabbed his hand and ran upstairs.

"I didn't expect that a fool like you could actually be quite knowledgeable." Jiang Enhe was delighted. "Yue Jian is not only good at playing the piano, but she is also very good at chess and painting."

Sui Yan was dragged upstairs by him, thinking wildly in his mind, and before he could figure out what was going on, he reached the balcony on the second floor.

Jiang Enhe called out to the person behind the pearl curtain: "Miss Yue Jian!"

Yue Jian's gentle voice came from behind the pearl curtain: "Mr. Jiang is here, please come in."

Jiang Enhe and Sui Yan opened the curtain and walked in.

The legendary courtesan Yue Jian from Wanhua Tower sat beside a small table where her musical instrument was placed. She was wearing a red dress that trailed on the ground, her long hair was tied into a complicated bun, and she was lightly made up, looking stunningly beautiful.

Sui Yan looked at Yue Jian strangely.

Yue Jian is really beautiful, you can tell from Jiang En and the look in his eyes that seems to want to stick to him, but Sui Yan seems to have noticed something, he tilted his head and covered his lips, unable to hold back his laughter.

Jiang Enhe was reminiscing with Yue Jian. When he heard the voice, he immediately stepped on Sui Yan's foot and whispered, "Don't be so rude to a beautiful woman!"

When Yue Jian heard the word "beauty", her beautiful face froze, but she still smiled gently.

Sui Yan forced himself to hold back and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure... haha."

Jiang Enhe was mad: "What's wrong with you?"

Sui Yan coughed dryly and said, "Nothing, nothing, it's my fault for being rude. I apologize to Miss Yue Jian..."

He picked up the small wine cup beside him and raised it towards Yue Jianyaoyao with a very calm attitude.

Yue Jian always felt that the way this person looked at her was very strange, but she didn't detect any ill intention, so she could only pick up the cup and drink with him with a smile.

Yue Jian is two years older than these two people. His every move is very elegant. No wonder Jiang Enhe was fascinated by him.

Sui Yan propped up his chin and looked at Jiang En and the peacock with its tail spread out circling around Yue Jian. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Yue Jian frowned at his gaze, but she didn't dare to say anything. After thinking for a while, she suggested, "It's boring to just talk, why don't I play a flute for the two distinguished guests?"

Gann's eyes lit up.

Sui Yan coughed dryly and said, "No... it's not a good idea to do this in public."

Jiang Enhe didn't understand what he meant, but Yue Jian understood what he meant. She could hardly keep up her fake smile and glared at him secretly.

Sui Yan laughed at his stare.

Yue Jian was too lazy to look at him, so she asked someone to bring his jade flute to her.

The jade flute seemed to be a gift from some nobleman, and it was obviously worth a lot of money. Yue Jian held the green jade flute with her slender white fingers, lowered her eyes and was about to put it to her lips, when Sui Yan suddenly said, "Wait."

Jiang Enhe was stunned for a moment, then he saw Sui Yan stand up and walk over, snatching the jade flute from Yue Jian's hand.

Jiang Enhe: "Sui Yan!"

Sui Yan ignored his yelling and reached out his hand to gently rub the jade flute twice, and unexpectedly touched a layer of fine powder.

Yue Jian saw this from the side and her face turned pale instantly.

Sui Yan sighed and whispered, "You have so many enemies. Even if you have fallen into such a lowly place, they still want you dead."

Yuejian looked up at him in surprise.

The two of them were standing and sitting, and Sui Yan suddenly said two words to Yue Jian in a place where Jiang Enhe couldn't see.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from downstairs, which drowned out his voice.

Yue Jian seemed to hear it in a trance, but she couldn't believe it.

Sui Yan frowned and whispered, "Today is not the time to talk. I'll come to see you another day."

As he put down the poisoned jade flute and was about to leave, Yue Jian grabbed Sui Yan's hand in panic: "Wait!"

Sui Yan was caught off guard and his feet became unstable. He fell backwards and fell into Yue Jian's arms.

Sui Yan: “…”

Jiang Enhe: "..."

Duan Mingchong, who had just opened the curtain to look for someone, said: "..."

The author has something to say: Sui Yan: I can explain it! ! ! ! !
