There was commotion outside, not only Bai You, but even Chu Yan came out together.

Bai You was in a very bad mood: "Her scandal has even reached the Lehe Chamber of Commerce!"

Chu Yan turned his gaze over there, and understood what Bai You meant.

The Lehe Chamber of Commerce was founded ten years ago, and it is exclusive to the royal family.

Now Bai You and Nie Jingyun are taking over the Lehe Chamber of Commerce. Although the scholars are not used to doing business and feel that it is something lowly people would do, the special nature of the Lehe Chamber of Commerce makes the officials in Lingji City not like it. Dare to underestimate it.

Those who can enter and exit the Lehe Chamber of Commerce are somewhat capable, to say the least.

I didn't expect Nie Siyu's scandal to be here. The Lehe Chamber of Commerce doesn't say that good and evil are mixed up, but the news about what happened here will be very well-informed.

If the news about Nie Siyu is spread outside, Nie Siyu will be finished.

"Miss of the Hou family, why did you run out of the Accord with the man in disheveled clothes?"

"Isn't this the one? If he insists on marrying Mr. Qiao, the reputation of the Nie family will be rotten."

"Yo, when you said that, I suddenly remembered!"

Everyone whispered, looking at Nie Siyu with scrutiny and malice.

Nie Siyu couldn't speak for a while, so he could only say fiercely to Duan Zhong: "You hurt me!"

Duan Zhong lowered his head, not daring to look at Nie Siyu.

But when he caught sight of Xiao Yunze in the crowd from the corner of his eye, Duan Zhong immediately turned pale, and stammered: "Miss Nie, the villain will sue first, why do I want to harm you? It is clear that Miss Nie not only caused me to become an eunuch , even my wife wants to make peace with me!"

Once Duan Zhong admitted that he was an eunuch, the discussion around him became louder.

"It turned out to be an eunuch? How could Miss Nie come out with him?"

"What the hell happened in there?"

Duan Zhong was already ashamed and indignant when he said this matter.

He only hated himself for being so stupid back then, for going to do that kind of thing to Chu Yan after listening to Nie Siyu's words.

Everyone speculated that it was the man next to Nie Siyu who held Nie Siyu back: "Miss Nie was still affectionate just now, why did she turn her face and deny anyone as soon as she came out?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I have nothing to do with you!"

The man's face suddenly changed: "Nie Siyu, you are a woman who is different and want to change, you want to marry Qiao Hanqiu because of his family background? You want to get rid of me, but there is no way!"

After hearing his words, Nie Siyu's face turned even paler, and he tied up his torn clothes.

She became paler and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Those people pointed at her, and Nie Siyu was even more flustered, unable to speak.

She finally remembered that if Duan Zhong succeeded that day, Chu Yan would also face the same situation.

She wanted to ruin the other party, but the other party used the same trick to treat her!

"It must be Zhou Pan... Otherwise, who else would use this method to deal with me."

Nie Siyu looked around in the crowd and indeed saw Chu Yan.But now that Chu Yan was wearing men's clothes, she thought it was Zhou Jue, not Zhou Pan.

"Zhou Jue, are you going to harm me for your sister!?" Nie Siyu's tone was stern.

Chu Yan was dressed in a crow-blue robe today, dressed in an extremely elegant manner, like a nobleman in troubled times.When everyone looked at him, they felt that the air of elegance rushed to their faces, with a bit of the aftertaste of Wei and Jin style.

"I just passed by here by chance, why did I teach Miss Nie to take the blame?"

Nie Siyu's eyes were red, and he stared at him firmly: "Then do you dare to swear that you didn't participate in today's matter?"

Chu Yan smiled gently: "Why should I listen to you?"

Nie Siyu laughed loudly: "He doesn't dare! This is Zhou Jue's idea. Zhou Pan and Mr. Qiao's marriage fell through, so he thought it was my fault. Today's things are all framed!"

Chu Yan was so annoyed by being entangled, she warned with dewy eyes: "The back house is so secretive and vicious, Miss Nie must be responsible for what she says."

Nie Siyu knew that if she didn't explain clearly today, her reputation would be completely ruined.

"You also know that this method is vicious?"

Chu Yan's face turned cold: "I also know a lot about my sister Zhou Pan. If Miss Nie insists on pestering her, then I don't mind talking about it!"

Nie Siyu's eyes widened and he choked.

She had something to do with the other party, so she didn't dare to speak more, Nie Siyu only hated why she didn't really kill Zhou Pan in the first place!

And her brief absence made everyone guess even more.

In this way, you can tell there is a ghost at a glance.

The people around whispered: "Isn't this heart too vicious? Miss Zhou just occupied the status of Mr. Qiao's fiancee before, so she must be killed?"

"You don't know that, do you? Ms. Nie will never be able to be a concubine with her status. Miss Zhou won't give up her seat. How can she marry Mr. Qiao?"

"It's reasonable, I think Miss Nie is guilty!"

These words seemed to hit Nie Siyu's sore foot, and she had no one to help her at the moment, so she could only yell coquettishly, "Shut up! You have no evidence for this!"

"They have no evidence, I have!"

Nie Siyu's body was stiff, and he looked straight at Xiao Yunze who shouted these words.

And Xiao Yunze has already asked Duan Zhong to come over: "Tell me all about your affair with Nie Siyu!"

Duan Zhongji was afraid of Xiao Yunze, so he could only tell the whole story: "Back then... at the poetry banquet, it was Ms. Nie who secretly let me in and told me to force Zhou Pan, so Mr. Qiao would despise Zhou Pan and lose his innocence. She can justifiably marry Mr. Qiao."

Every word he said made Nie Siyu's face turn pale.

Bai You, who originally had the last gleam of liking for Nie Siyu, finally said angrily at this moment: "Nie Siyu, I said how could there be loopholes in the guards of the Shijiuyan back then? It turns out that you let irrelevant people in , That's why those assassins sneaked in!"

Nie Siyu shrank her body, facing Bai You's accusation, she couldn't refute it at all.

Xiao Yunze comforted him: "Bai You, don't get angry for now, let Duan Zhong finish talking."

Bai You's face was already stained with anger. It turned out that the culprit of all this was Nie Siyu!

"How can you tell me not to get angry?!"

Xiao Yunze showed a warning: "Bai You."

Hearing his voice, Bai You woke up from the sky full of anger, and had no choice but to swallow all the anger.

Although Duan Zhong was trembling, he explained the cause of the incident clearly: "I didn't attack Miss Zhou that day, but a young master came to save Miss Zhou."

Xiao Yunze smiled lightly and said: "If there is no such young master, what would you do?"

Duan Zhong closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "I will ruin Miss Zhou's innocence and marry Zhou Pan as my concubine. Anyway, Zhou Pan has already been ruined by me. Not to mention that I won a beauty for nothing, I can still marry Zhou Pan as my concubine." Not only that, Miss Nie also said that she would take care of me, killing two birds with one stone, why not!"

Everyone gasped, thinking that Duan Zhong was too hateful.

Those who have daughters feel the same way for the Zhou family, and feel that Duan Zhong deserves to be killed!

Xiao Yunze glanced around: "You all heard clearly, right? Duan Zhong didn't attack Zhou Pan. If there are any inappropriate rumors when going out, I will definitely not forgive him."

The eldest prince has already spoken, so who dares to say more.

They were all like quails, not daring to refute.

However, Nie Siyu's behavior was really bad. After today, her reputation will be completely rotten.

In the past, the high-school kids looked down on her, but now even the humble kids don't look up to her anymore.

I heard that Nie Siyu was seriously ill when she went back, and now she is really ill, and countless soups and medicines were delivered to her room.

There were many rumors in Lingji City, which did not dissipate until the midsummer of July.

What's more, I heard that Duan Zhong went to the Nie's family to propose marriage, but everyone knows that Duan Zhong is an eunuch, isn't doing this revenge and humiliation to the Nie family?

Sure enough, Duan Zhong was kicked out, but Nie Hou Ye became ill because of this incident.

The entire Nie family was gloomy, and Yu Wanrong washed her face with tears every day.

Seeing this, Nie Jingyun felt an inexplicable sense of revenge.

He was the one who intervened and sent Nie Siyu to the Lehe Chamber of Commerce.

Yu Wanrong killed his mother, this revenge will be avenged.But Marquis Nie knew about these things, but he ignored the things in the backyard, which made Nie Jingyun feel resentful.

Seeing this scene, how could he not feel refreshed?

Marquis Nie was sick, so he weakly called Nie Jingyun to his side: "Jingyun... the Nie family will depend on you from now on."

"Don't worry, father."

He was going to destroy everything the two of them cared about.

Nie Siyu, Niehou Mansion.



In the midsummer of July, the wind cannot blow away the heat, but it attracts the shadows of the trees.

Father Zhou was in the study room talking to Chu Yan about the imperial examinations in October, when he heard the servants come to report the recent events of the Nie family, he immediately felt annoyed.

"Nie Siyu hurt you, and now it's back to him, what a retribution!"

Father Zhou looked at Chu Yan again, seeing that his complexion had improved a lot recently, and sighed, "Thanks to Master Wei, your angina has improved a lot!"

"He used to come here every two days, and recently he came every day. After drinking so much soup, he should be better." Chu Yan put down the ink pen and handed the paper to Father Zhou, "Father, look at this How about a policy theory?"

Father Zhou browsed through it quickly, and opened his eyes wide: "This..."

"Bad?"

"It's not bad, it's great!" Zhou's father praised him, "My son can really understand everything! This theory is beautifully done!"

Chu Yan showed a smile: "From October onwards, can I take the imperial examination?"

Father Zhou's smile gradually condensed on his face, and he said, "Your mother's condition is not very good this month when you resumed men's clothing..."

"Mother, how about asking Mr. Wei to take a look?"

Zhou's father shook his head: "I've invited you to read it, and everyone said that your mother couldn't make it through her own test."

Father Zhou looked at Chu Yan again pleadingly, "Jue'er, can you visit your mother later?"

It wasn't that Chu Yan didn't want to see her during this time, but that Zhou's mother would cry every time she went to pay her respects.

Instead of this, Chu Yan did not go to pay his respects again, and had not seen Mother Zhou for more than ten days.

Hearing from his father, Chu Yan knew that he would have to face this matter sooner or later, so he could only sigh: "...OK."

After talking with Father Zhou, Chu Yan quickly walked out of the study.

The sun was scorching hot in midsummer, and the vines in the garden also climbed up the shelves layer by layer, forming a large expanse of verdant verdure, which looked lush and green.

Chu Yan walked through the backyard and came to Mother Zhou's yard.

When seeing him, Zhou's mother showed a slight smile, and shouted to Chu Yan: "Pan'er, mother bought you Yufangzhai's dress, it looks good, come and try it on?"

Chu Yan was pulled by her, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

"Mother, I'm Zhou Jue."

Zhou's mother became more and more delirious: "What nonsense! Are you Pan'er or Jue'er, can't I tell the difference?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Yan felt as if her heart was pressed down by a stone.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Zhou's mother looked at him cautiously: "Pan'er?"

Chu Yan's heart sank even further, as if if he said a wrong word, the other party would collapse.

This kind of feeling suppressed him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Chu Yan pursed her lips and could only ask, "Where are the clothes?"

Hearing what Chu Yan said, Mother Zhou smiled: "It's in my room!"

Chu Yan looked behind the screen, and she was indeed wearing a light blue shirt.The inside is white, and the outside is covered with a layer of cyan tulle, which will look more elegant when worn.

Chu Yan unbuttoned her shirt, and quickly changed into the women's dress.

In the past month, he obviously spent more time in men's clothes, but he had to put on women's clothes again for Zhou's mother.

When he came out, Zhou's mother's eyes lit up: "It's so beautiful, my eyesight is really good."

Chu Yan asked: "Mom, are you happy like this?"

"... Pan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"I pretended to be my elder sister for many years, and I also followed the example of women, not going out of the door. I feel that as long as my mother can get better, my pain is not that important."

Mother Zhou opened her eyes wide and looked at him with a pale face.

"Every time I wear these, I feel like an oddity."

Zhou's mother's breathing was painful. She didn't expect that letting him wear women's clothes would be like a punishment for him.

"In the end, I don't have a strong body, no friends, and no dignity. Gradually, will the name Zhou Jue also disappear in the Zhou family?"

"I never thought about it that way!"

Chu Yan looked at her expectantly: "Then mother called me Zhou Jue?"

Zhou's mother opened her mouth, it was just a simple address, but she couldn't change it.

She cried bitterly, but Chu Yan's face became paler.

"Forget it, it turned out that I wanted to get my name back, but for my mother... it would be so painful."

Chu Yan walked out from inside, Mother Zhou's eyelashes were wet with tears, she stretched out her hand to Chu Yan: "Wait..."

Chu Yan paused: "Is there anything else?"

"Pan'er, I..."

Chu Yan frowned: "My name is Zhou Jue!"

Zhou's mother cried again, he was still wearing the clothes she bought, Zhou's mother thought he had accepted all this.

His attitude seemed to force her to make a choice between Pan'er and him.

"Your sister died so tragically, I can't forget it every day..."

"Then what if, one day, I die so miserably? Will my mother know my name correctly?"

Mother Zhou's blood went cold instantly, and her whole body trembled.

Let her lose two children, she dare not think.

Chu Yan looked at her calmly, and did not tell her the truth, neither Zhou Pan nor Zhou Jue were alive.

Chu Yan pursed her lips: "I'm just giving an example, mother, don't be so afraid. What if I was pushed into the water by Nie Siyu and killed..."

Mother Zhou rushed over and hugged him: "Jue'er, don't say those things that scare me."

Hearing that she finally called out his name, Chu Yan smiled.

very nice.

Being able to talk to her, Chu Yan finally settled his mind.

"Then I won't say it next time."

Zhou's mother was still choking, looking very scared.

Chu Yan smiled at Mother Zhou, and changed the subject: "Didn't Mother want to visit Hanshi Temple on the outskirts of the city? When I am free, I will go with Mother."

Mother Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes, thinking that she really owed Chu Yan all these years.

Chu Yan could still say that, her heart was burning when she heard it.

The knot between the two of them was finally untied, and Chu Yan felt that the haze in his heart was lifted, and finally the rain was over and the sky was clear.

He talked with Zhou's mother for a long time, and when he went out, it was already dark.

There are a few stars dotted on the night sky, shining alone in the dark night.

Chu Yan returned to her room, Shi'er was stunned for a long time when she saw that he had changed clothes.

"My lord, the water is ready."

"Well, you go down first."

Chu Yan walked into the room. He was indeed a little tired and wanted to take a bath and rest early.

Chu Yan took off his clothes and soaked in the water, thinking that the fragrance today is too strong.

He was half leaning against the side of the bathtub, his hair was scattered in the water, and there was a mist, everything was so unreal.

Because of the hot water, his normally sickly white face was stained with a thin layer of red like ink on rice paper.

The rich aroma lingered at the tip of his nose, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it has passed, and the consciousness is ups and downs, as if in a dream.

After Chu Yan woke up, she was still a little confused, but she still recognized that this was not his room.

Next to my ear, a voice came from a trance: "The effect of the medicine has not yet expired, and his body is weak, so he should not be fully awake so soon."

"Well, let's go down."

Seeing a figure walking towards him, Chu Yan half bit his lip, hoping to use the pain to clear his mind.

"Don't bite yourself."

"Nie, Jing, Yun?"

"It's me." Nie Jingyun said in a low voice, "Does it take a lot of effort to speak now?"

Chu Yan felt that his tongue was numb, and he looked a lot more supple.The usual cold breath suddenly subsided a lot, Nie Jingyun even took a brocade handkerchief and wiped his wet hair.

"here it is?"

"Naturally, it's a place that neither Qiao Hanqiu nor Xiao Yunze can find." Nie Jingyun narrowed his eyes, "How does it feel to be something in a cage?"

Chu Yan stared at him steadfastly, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, everything was so unreal.

"You don't, like..."

"You want to ask me, don't you like Qiao Hanqiu?" Nie Jingyun put down the brocade handkerchief, but lifted up a strand of his hair, playing with it gently, "How could I still like him when he treats me so well? What's more..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

Chu Yan asked again with difficulty: "Why, what, arrest, me?"

"Why did I arrest you?" Nie Jingyun shook his head with a smile, "I don't know either. Why did I not have the slightest interest in Qiao Hanqiu after I found out that you were a man that day, but I am very interested in you."

Chu Yan's body stiffened immediately.

Nie Jingyun's eyes were dim and unclear: "I think I'm going crazy."
