Chapter 47 Forbidden Love
The next day, Xie Yunyu thought for a long time and finally came up with a brilliant idea.
Write a novel about homosexuality!
As the saying goes, if you can't solve a problem, then expose it and make a big fuss about it.
Once things escalate, people will forget the small things that caused the big incident.
By selling this story about homosexuality in other teahouses in the capital, we can cover up the incident at Tianxing Tower.
After pondering for a long time, Xie Yunyu wrote down a book title:
Let us share the snow today, and grow old together in this life.
The protagonists of the story are based on Ye Jing and Chen Jiatao.
After all, the only people Xie Yunyu knew about were a gay couple.
Furthermore, the male-male relationship between a military general's heir and a civil official's illegitimate son is quite appealing to readers.
With this in mind, Xie Yunyu began to write furiously.
A kind-hearted and beautiful illegitimate child born out of wedlock.
He was neglected at home, mistreated by his stepmother, ignored by his father, and bullied by his elder brother.
He finally got into the academy through his talent and hard work, but was bullied by his classmates.
One day, a person appeared before him like a peerless hero, riding on auspicious clouds of five colors, and drove away all those who had bullied him.
From then on, a fragile and lonely heart found solace.
However, the disparity in their social status meant that their relationship was doomed to fail.
After overcoming numerous hardships, the two finally defied societal norms and were together...
However, this kind of love is destined to be unacceptable to the world, and the innocent male protagonist encounters various difficulties...
His hero stepped forward, rescuing him from dire straits time and time again...
In short, Xie Yunyu modified the tragic novels about concubine's daughters that she had read in later generations, and used them to write a poignant and moving love story between the two of them.
I wrote for a whole day and night, and finally finished.
Xie Yunyu was very satisfied after reviewing the manuscript in her hand.
He then handed the manuscript over to his family's bookstore, which printed out a dozen or twenty copies.
Xie Yunyu was busy until Xie Yuntang took a day off, and only then did she finally finish her work.
Gu Yu went out to buy things, and when she returned, her face was deathly pale. She hurriedly said:
"Miss, something terrible has happened! People outside are spreading rumors about the shadow of Tianxing Tower that night."
Everyone is now speculating about who the two people were that day.
Although we at Tianxing Tower have said we'd keep it a secret, we can't stop powerful and influential people from asking around.
Xie Fu has been avoiding everyone for the past two days.
Xie Yunyu glanced at the manuscript in her hand and smiled:
"It's alright, they won't discuss it tomorrow."
After saying that, he went to contact the teahouses with which he had good relations and sent them the manuscript so that they could familiarize themselves with it first, and he would start the lecture the next day.
Xie Yunyu has everything ready; all that's needed is tomorrow's favorable conditions.
Thinking about all this, Xie Yunyu rubbed her stiff shoulders and went to rest.
While Xie Yunyu was resting, a major incident occurred at Tianxing Tower.
Pei Yanchi, as promised, invited Ye Jing to Tianxing Tower, to room number three of the Earth section.
The two drank and chatted happily, with the door open, listening to the storyteller outside.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of laughter from next door, followed by the taunting voices of several spoiled young men.
"Chen Jiatao, you usually look like a girl with your delicate skin, but when you drink, your face turns red and you look even more like a woman."
Upon hearing this, another burst of laughter came from next door.
Ye Jing was a soldier with excellent hearing. Even in this noisy environment, he could still tell that the other party seemed to have mentioned Chen Jiatao's name.
Hearing the laughter from next door, Pei Yanchi naturally remembered Xiao Ling's instructions.
So he pretended not to hear anything and continued drinking.
Over there, someone else was heard saying something, though no one knew what Chen Jiatao had said:
"Come here and let your brother touch you, to see if you're really a little lady?"
This was followed by another burst of laughter.
I don't know what Chen Jiatao said.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Chen Jiatao, so what if I humiliated you today?"
You're just an illegitimate son, do you really expect your cold-hearted father and brothers to stand up for you?
"Hey guys, strip him naked! Let us all see for ourselves..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jing suddenly stood up and walked towards the next room.
Pei Yanchi pretended not to know and called out from behind:
"Hey... Brother Ye, Brother Ye? Where are you going?"
Ye Jing walked to the door without turning his head and said, "I have something to do, I'll be right back."
Pei Yanchi remained seated and said, "Alright."
Then Pei Yanchi heard a loud fight going on next door, mixed with shouts from a group of people.
Pei Yan listened as the sound gradually faded away before standing up and leisurely strolling to the doorway.
Then, pretending to be surprised, he asked:
"What...what are you doing?"
There were seven or eight people in the room, but five or six of them were lying on the ground, and only two were still fighting Ye Jing.
Chen Jiatao stood pitifully behind Ye Jing, completely protected by him.
Seeing this, Pei Yanchi scoffed inwardly:
They really are a couple!
Was I blind before? How come I didn't notice?
Then, he pretended to mediate the fight, saying, "Alright, stop fighting."
Then, looking at the people on the ground, he said, "Why aren't you breaking up the fight? Take your people and leave."
Even all of you combined are no match for Young Master Ye.
The people on the ground struggled to their feet, pulled their comrades away, and then the group slunk away.
At this moment, Chen Jiatao hid behind Ye Jing, her eyes red and pitiful, making people feel very sorry for her.
Pei Yanchi glanced at him, and Ye Jing immediately protected him behind her.
Then he said to Pei Yanchi, "Brother Pei, please wait next door for a while. I'll be right there."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yanchi thought, "Isn't this perfect?"
He nodded and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
As soon as Pei Yanchi left, Chen Jiatao burst into tears.
Ye Jing felt heartbroken when she saw that he had been wronged, and she hugged him tightly.
The taboo love affair between two men at Tianxing Tower has been making headlines for the past two days.
Many people come downstairs every day to wait, hoping to catch a glimpse of those two figures again.
But the people who came today first watched a fight scene downstairs, and they were really enjoying it.
Suddenly, the shadows of two men appeared in the window, and then the two men embraced.
The people downstairs immediately became excited.
"Look, those two are here again."
"There's going to be a good show today."
"Wow, the shows at Tianxing Tower are really amazing."
"That's right. Although we can't go in, the view from the outside is much more exciting than the inside."
The people downstairs were all talking at once.
A few nosy individuals swarmed to the entrance to answer questions, eager to get inside.
Inside the room, Ye Jing and Chen Jiatao were completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Ye Jing gave Chen Jiatao a comforting kiss on the cheek:
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not coming to save you in time, and I've made you suffer."
Chen Jiatao cried, tears streaming down his face.
Ye Jing couldn't bear it and gently kissed away the tears on Chen Jiatao's face.
Just as the two were entwined in affection, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
Then a group of people scrambled to peer through the door.
Although Ye Jing managed to cover Chen Jiatao's face with his chest in time, some people still saw their faces.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Jing pushed open the window and tried to jump out with Chen Jiatao.
But when he opened the window, he was dumbfounded.
Because there are more people downstairs outside the window.
They all looked up at the two of them with excited expressions.
Now not only the people at the door could see what the two looked like, but even the people downstairs could see them.
Chen Jiatao panicked even more, and Ye Jing made a quick decision, taking off his coat and covering Chen Jiatao's head with it.
Then, carrying the person, he jumped off the building and fled.
The people upstairs at the door chased after them to the window, watching their figures disappear into the darkness.
"It's actually the heir of the Marquis of Guangping?" someone upstairs said.
The person downstairs realized what was happening and replied, "The other one looks like he's from the household of the Vice Minister of Rites."
