Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 20 Misunderstandings Cause Trouble

Nongyu's identity is sensitive, especially in front of Liu Yi. In the original timeline, he should have been the first person to discover Nongyu's identity.

If Liu Yi were to meet Nongyu, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Although Liu Yi treats Yang Che, his 'nephew,' very well, it would be a big mistake to think that he is a good person because of this.

"Uncle, where did you hear that? This is my first time at Zilan Pavilion. How could I possibly have a lover here? If you really do have a lover, it depends on whether Miss Caidie takes pity on you."

"Ache, you can't hide this from me. Your aunt has already told me that for the past two weeks, you've been going out every day to meet with a young prostitute from Zilan Pavilion who's learning the zither from the old zither master." Liu Yi directly exposed Yang Che's lie.

He had only made the decision on a whim, but seeing Yang Che's refusal only fueled his curiosity. Today, he was determined to see that young prostitute and find out who she was that had managed to seduce Yang Che.

For her sake, Archer even started lying to himself.

"Is Lord Liu referring to Nongyu?" Cai Die was startled; Liu Yi's words immediately reminded her of Nongyu.

Of all the people in Zilan Pavilion who were learning the zither from the old zither master, only Nongyu was doing so. Thinking back to this time, Nongyu would indeed occasionally drift off into a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking about. When others asked her, she would just deny it.

Could it be that Nongyu...

Thinking of this, Cai Die felt even more anxious. Of course, at this moment she was no longer worried that Nong Yu would betray the secret of Zi Lan Xuan. Although Nong Yu was young, she was the most steady and reliable. She was Zi Nu’s beloved younger sister, and her future achievements would surpass hers.

Now, she is more worried that Nongyu, because of her young age, will be deceived by Yang Che in terms of feelings.

Judging from Yang Che's intentional or unintentional methods just now, he is clearly a seasoned pro at the pleasure quarters. Nongyu is still naive and inexperienced; she shouldn't be fooled.

"So her name is Nongyu, what a nice name, what a nice name!" Liu Yi laughed loudly. It turned out that the young prostitute his nephew was infatuated with was named Nongyu.

This is a good name. It sounds better than names like Cai Die or Hong Yu, and it also has more meaning. The person who is named is probably not bad either.

Yang Che couldn't even try to deny it now. It was all Cai Die's fault for being such a stupid woman. Didn't she see that he was still trying to cover it up? She just let Nong Yu slip by.

"Miss Caidie, quickly summon Nongyu. I want to see what kind of girl could bewitch Ache's soul." Liu Yi gave Yang Che no chance to maneuver and directly ordered Caidie.

Seeing the change in Yang Che's expression when she revealed Nongyu's name, Cai Die was certain that what Liu Yi said was true. She was certain that Nongyu did know Yang Che, and that their relationship was quite close.

At this moment, Liu Yi urged her again, so she could only obey. Tonight, Sister Zi Nu was not at home, and she had no one to make decisions for her. Besides, she really wanted to find out what kind of relationship Nong Yu and Yang Che had.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Liu. I will call Nongyu here right away," Caidie replied, heading towards the door.

I hope Nongyu wasn't deceived. This is Caidie's greatest wish at this moment.

Yang Che tried to stop Cai Die, but Liu Yi grabbed his arm and said, "Ache, it seems you really care about that little prostitute. But that's precisely why your uncle wants to meet her. If she's really suitable, your uncle will pay for her for you."

"Uncle, that's not how it is," Yang Che said helplessly.

Why would you, someone's sworn enemy, see someone doing this? Do you want them to seek revenge on you?

"What else could it be?" Liu Yi said, sounding like someone who'd been through it all.

On the other side, Cai Die left her room and headed straight for Nong Yu's room.

Pushing open Nongyu's door, Caidie saw only a young girl wiping a zither, the lamplight behind her flickering and casting the girl's shadow on the zither.

Looking at the clean and serene Nongyu, Cai Die found it difficult to connect Nongyu with the girl Liu Yi had mentioned. However, the information in Liu Yi's words undoubtedly pointed to Nongyu, and Yang Che had not tacitly agreed.

Thinking of Yang Che, Cai Die wavered again. That man was indeed very… After a slight hesitation, she could only say the word "beautiful" in her heart.

Nongyu is naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world; if she met a man like that, perhaps she really would…

"Sister Cai Die, what brings you here?" Nong Yu asked curiously when she saw Cai Die's solemn expression.

"Two guests just arrived." Butterfly, usually quick-witted, suddenly found herself tongue-tied.

"Zilan Pavilion has many guests every day, but what's so special about these two guests?" Nongyu asked, not yet realizing that the problem lay with her.

"These two guests are not ordinary people. One is Liu Yi, the Left Sima..." Cai Die observed Nong Yu's expression as she spoke. Although Nong Yu concealed it well, she still saw a slight fluctuation in the depths of Nong Yu's eyes.

Could it really be...? Cai Die had a bad feeling.

"The other one is the nephew of the Left Sima, surnamed Yang and named Che. I heard that His Majesty has already granted him the position of Imperial Censor," Cai Die said, continuing to observe Nong Yu's expression.

"Sister, these two are indeed very extraordinary. No wonder you are so serious about them." Nongyu rested her chin on one hand, pretending to casually sized up Caidie.

"Nongyu, are you still trying to hide this from me?"

Seeing that Nongyu remained calm, Cai Die felt a surge of anger. She was worried about Nongyu, yet she was still hiding things from her.

"What do you mean by that, sister?" Nongyu's heart tightened. Had her senior brother let something slip?

"I heard from Zuo Sima that Imperial Censor Yang has a young prostitute he's been seeing at Zilan Pavilion. He met her at an old musician's house. Nongyu, don't tell me you don't know who this young prostitute is?" Cai Die said, looking directly into Nongyu's eyes.

"A young prostitute?" Upon hearing this term, Nongyu felt a pang of pain in her heart. Of course, she knew who this "young prostitute" was.

But is this how my senior brother speaks of me in front of his elders? In his eyes, am I merely a virgin prostitute from Zilan Pavilion?

Nongyu didn't know why Yang Che said that the affairs of the Flower Sect should not be known to a third party, but out of trust for her senior brother, even to this day, she has not revealed even a little bit of information about the Flower Sect to her closest sister, Zi Nu.

But Liu Yi now knows of her existence. How did he find out? The answer can only be Yang Che. And what about the term "little prostitute"?

Nongyu didn't care about her status. Zinu and Caidie were her sisters and family. Although they had low social status, it was not a reason for them to belittle themselves. On the contrary, it was precisely because they knew each other's suffering that they cared even more about their relationship.

But Yang Che is different!

No, my senior brother never cared about my identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taught me so many precious musical scores. If that were the case, he wouldn't have taken me as his disciple. Perhaps...

Nongyu thought quickly, and a figure appeared in her mind. Perhaps it was the lady who told Zuo Sima, and then Zuo Sima asked his senior brother. Helpless, the senior brother could only give the evasive answer of "little prostitute".

Yes, that must be it. My senior brother was just doing it out of necessity.

Thinking this way, Nongyu felt much better.

As Cai Die watched Nong Yu's ever-changing expression, her heart sank to the depths of despair.

Among the sisters, Nongyu is the youngest, but also the most intelligent and insightful. She is highly regarded by her elder sister Zinu. At such a young age, she is already able to remain calm and composed in the face of all kinds of situations. When did Zinu see such a rich range of expressions on Nongyu's face in such a short time?

All of this was caused by Yang Che.

Could Nongyu have really been taken advantage of? Realizing this possibility, Cai Die felt her hands and feet turn ice cold.

Amidst Cai Die's shock, Nong Yu said leisurely, "Sister Cai Die, if I'm not mistaken, the 'little prostitute' you're talking about is me."

"Nongyu, is it really you? What is your relationship with Imperial Censor Yang, no, Yang Che?" Cai Die pressed.

Could it be that Zilanxuan was raided in less than half a month?

"I met him by chance while practicing the piano," Nongyu explained. She was stating a fact, but this truth was a prelude to the lie that followed.

"So you really have that kind of relationship with him? Nongyu, you're so foolish! You're still young, don't let men deceive you." Caidie was completely heartbroken at this point. The little sister of Zilanxuan had actually been seduced by someone.

"Sister, isn't Brother Yang very handsome?" Nongyu joked in response to Cai Die's heartbroken expression.

"This?" Cai Die was taken aback. The scene of her encounter with Yang Che just now flashed through her mind. He was indeed very handsome, and with the extraordinary temperament he exuded intentionally or unintentionally, he was indeed very attractive.

At that time, she did not reject Yang Che's intimacy, and for a moment, she even had the impulse to hope that Yang Che would be more unrestrained with her.

"So, you really like him, don't you?" Cai Die asked numbly, having already believed Nong Yu's words.

Although Nongyu is only thirteen years old this year, she is still young. However, in this era, there are many girls who get married at the age of thirteen. In fact, this age is not considered young.

"I do like it," Nongyu affirmed.

Since her senior brother told her that she couldn't let anyone know about the Flower Sect for the time being, she could only use lies and hide the truth. Moreover, her senior brother was now an imperial censor, and it would be bad if people knew that he had a junior sister who was a 'little prostitute' from the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

My senior brother has given me so much, can't I even give back this much? Nongyu told herself this in her heart, and her grievances vanished. Instead, she felt a sense of nobility: I can also do something for my senior brother.

At this point, Cai Die had no more illusions and said, "Then now you..."

"Since Zuo Sima wants to see me, then I'll go and pay my respects to Zuo Sima. Besides, Brother Yang is here too." Nongyu blinked, revealing a more lively side of a young girl.
