Chapter 186 A Fish That Escaped The Net (2)
Seeing the girl without any intention of moving, Cheng Xin got up suddenly and walked to the girl slowly.
He held the girl’s chin, ready to lift her face up. At this moment, the girl suddenly struggled and held Cheng Xin's hand, as if she didn't want him to raise her face.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t outbeat Cheng Xin in terms of strength, and her face was quickly revealed.
It was a very beautiful face, with umber-black filled brows, vermilion stained lips, slightly red cheeks, and maroon powder at the corners of her eyes. Although her overall appearance was pleasing to the eye, this person looked a bit familiar.
Wen Yantong was taken aback, and she took another careful look, only to see an Adam's apple on the ‘girl’s’ exposed neck. She exclaimed, "It turned out to be a man!"
Mu Yang had already recognized him as he shouted, "Jiang Yan! You are truly courageous!"
Wen Yantong was shocked again. When she took a look, she found that it was Jiang Yan whom she hadn't seen in a while. If Mu Yang hadn't exposed his identity, she wouldn't have recognized him.
The entire Jiang Household had been searched and seized on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. According to Jiang Yan's age, he should have been beheaded along with his father and brothers. Unexpectedly, he had survived and disguised himself as a woman!
One could only guess what this once extremely arrogant young master had been through in the past few months. His attitude had turned a complete one-eighty as he immediately teared up and pleaded, "No, I am not Jiang Yan, you’re mistaken!"
Cheng Xin released his hand, and Jiang Yan quickly fell back down, lowering his head in a hurry. Although he was afraid, he continued to refuse to admit it. "I'm not, I'm not..."
Seeing his battered and exhausted look, Wen Yantong recalled the scene when he had people hold her in a secluded area and used her as a target, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chi Jingxi glanced at her. "Did you think of something funny?"
Wen Yantong said loudly, "Destiny is truly incomprehensible. I didn't expect that Young Master Jiang would be reduced to such a status, not too long ago, he used to look down on us commoners very much."
Although her words were rubbing salt on an already open wound, thinking about Jiang Yan's previous behaviors, this could be considered venting her previous anger.
Wen Yantong’s thoughts were simple, and she didn't think about why Jiang Yan appeared here. The whole Jiang Household was executed unto the third generation, was he the only one who had escaped?
Cheng Xin and Chi Jingxi naturally had to consider these issues.
Moreover, with the Jiang Household branded as renegades. If the Emperor found out about Jiang Yan's survival, no one would be able to escape death.
Chi Jingxi was thinking about how to deal with this son of a traitor.
Mu Yang acted more directly. "I think this person was saved by the relatives of the Jiang Household. Why don't we lock him up first, then hand him over to the Ministry of Justice and have them handle it."
When Jiang Yan heard this, he was scared to death. He looked at Mu Yang in horror. "I, I just want to live and don't want to do anything. Why are you forcing me to die?"
Mu Yang slapped the table and pointed. "See?! You have just admitted that you belong to the Jiang Household, there’s no point in being stubborn!"
Wen Yantong couldn't help but say, "It's totally pointless for us to dwell on this."
Fu Zixian quietly interjected, "If we do not report this soon, we could be persecuted for the crime of deceiving the monarch."
Mu Yang nodded. "That’s right. How about we have someone send him to the authorities right now."
Cheng Xin didn't share their sentiments. He looked down at Jiang Yan who was still shaking and pondered before saying, "Let’s have him detained first. I'll make a decision after discussing it with Danli."
Wen Yantong was a little stunned. Did Cheng Xin intend to keep Jiang Yan?
Mu Yang didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded in agreement. He then stretched his back, and then said, "How boring, let's go back and sleep."
He then excitedly added, "I had the biggest room prepared so that we can all sleep together tonight!"
Wen Yantong looked at him in shock. "What?!"
...I wanted to sleep alone with the Little Marquis!
Wen Yantong subconsciously retorted, "All in one room? I don’t think it’s a good idea..."
Mu Yang immediately scowled, "Wen Yantong, you have been recently against my every idea. Why is it that you think every one of my suggestions is not good enough? Why don't you want to sleep with all of us?"
Wen Yantong felt slandered. It was clearly you dog-of-a-thief, who was against me.
However, Wen Yantong didn't say anything in response; Mu Yang was the type that would argue back until dark, there was no point in reasoning with him.
Moreover, Mu Yang's birthday was coming soon. As the birthday boy, even Chi Jingxi had indulged in most of his requests, so Wen Yantong shouldn’t oppose him either.
So Mu Yang excitedly arranged the large ‘dormitory’.
Though called a large dormitory, it was actually several soft quilts spliced together on the ground. There were thick soft cushions underneath, there seemed to be multiple layers, the hardness of the ground could barely be felt when stepped on.
The room was the main hall of the courtyard and was very spacious inside. The temperature of the fifth lunar month no longer required heaters or thick cotton curtains. The windows and carved wooden doors were hung with smoky red muslin curtains while the floor-to-ceiling lamps were burning brightly. The warm colors all mended together, into a very hazy first glance.
While choosing their positions, Chi Jingxi specially allowed Wen Yantong to sleep in the innermost place, and he slept next to her. Fu Zixian chose the first position on the other side. Mu Yang took a moment to decide between sleeping next to Chi Jingxi or Fu Zixian, and in the end, he picked the spot in between Fu Zixian and Cheng Xin.
Everyone had soaked in the hot springs, so they just washed their hands and faces, took off their clothes, and lay down in their beds. Wen Yantong kept two layers on, and when she was about to tuck herself in, Mu Yang asked, "Do you wear that much to sleep?"
Wen Yantong replied, "I'm used to sleeping like this."
Mu Yang looked at her with a strange gaze. "What a weird sucker."
As he spoke, he took off his innerwear, revealing his strong biceps. "It will be so comfortable when sleeping naked!"
Mu Yang regularly exercised, so his arms and abdomen muscles were well defined. With his fair complexion, Mu Yang’s abs looked quite stunning. Wen Yantong was secretly surprised. She didn't expect Mu Yang to be the type who looked thin when wearing clothes but was actually well-toned when naked.
Chi Jingxi was standing on the side, but when he saw this scene, he threw his clothes on Mu Yang’s head. "Put it on."
Mu Yang pulled the clothes off his head, turned around, and said, "I'm used to sleeping without clothes."
Chi Jingxi didn't care about his habits and repeated, "Put it on."
Mu Yang was very obedient. He pursed his lips while putting on the clothes and unhappily said, "Why is Wen Yantong's habit tolerated, but not mine? If you’re making me put clothes on, he has to take his off."
Wen Yantong immediately gripped her clothes tight. "What kind of absurd logic is that?"
Cheng Xin laughed from the side and said, "You can sleep in your outer robe, no one will say anything to you."
Mu Yang kept prattling on. Only after he finished what he had to say did he dive into his bed.
He sighed comfortably, patted Fu Zixian's bed, and urged anxiously, "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
Fu Zixian had probably never slept like this before. Furthermore, he was not really familiar with Cheng Xin and Chi Jingxi, so he felt a little awkward.
After he took off his coat, he slept with his clothes on like Wen Yantong. Mu Yang looked at him with disapproving eyes. "You also have this habit?"
Fu Zixian gave a random reason. "I'm afraid it will be cold at night."
Mu Yang immediately commanded, "Servants, bring two more quilts over."
Fu Zixian didn't even have a chance to stop him when two quilts were pressed on top of his body. Mu Yang happily declared, "No need to worry now! Now you won’t feel uncomfortable if you wear less when you sleep."
Wen Yantong inwardly sighed. Mu Yang was really inhumane.
Fu Zixian had no choice but to take off his second layer, leaving his inner shirt on before getting into his three quilt bed. In the end, Cheng Xin ordered someone to take away a blanket, lessening Fu Zixian’s burden just a bit.

The author has something to say:
Wen Yantong: It’s truly impossible to defend against this dog-of-a-thief.
T/N: Just a refresher, Jiang Yan is the bully from chapter 17.
