Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving." Ye Mingyue had his two younger sisters change into men's clothing and board the carriage through the back door. "This Han Xu is indeed as he himself said. He has no bad habits, his talent for studying is average, but he is diligent. Most of what he said to Wanyu is true."

Ye Wanyu was rather anxious, "Where are we going dressed like this?"

"Naturally, we're going to where Han Xu went." Ye Mingyue chuckled. "Second sister's fake mustache is crooked, let me straighten it for you. Don't say anything later, just follow me. Otherwise, if we're recognized, the three of us will all get a beating from our eldest brother."

Speaking of being beaten by her eldest brother, Ye Wanning guessed where her second brother had taken them.

It has to be said that her second brother was sometimes too impulsive, but in order to make her second sister give up, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with him.

The carriage stopped in front of Xiaowan Pavilion. As soon as Ye Mingyue got off the carriage, he asked familiarly if the pimp Liu'er was there.

"Yes, yes, sir. You look a bit unfamiliar. I specifically asked for Liu'er. Did someone introduce you to him?" The pimp led Ye Mingyue and the other two into the shop.

“Of course! My buddy said Liu’er knows a lot of tricks and is the top performer in your shop.” Ye Mingyue took out a tael of silver, and the pimp’s smile widened when he saw it.

By this time, Ye Wanyu understood what this place was for. People were already inside, and it was too late to run. She clung tightly to her older sister, hoping they wouldn't be recognized, or her older brother would really beat them to death.

Ye Wanning was also here for the first time, and she stared straight ahead, not daring to peek at anything.

The pimp led them to a private room and told them to wait a while while he went to call Liu'er.

Now that there was no one else in the private room, Ye Wanyu's face turned bright red. "Second brother, how could you bring us here?"

"With me here, no one will bully you." Ye Mingyue poured tea for his sisters. "After doing this... no, I mean, after meeting more people, I've realized that people need to see more of the world. Just go behind the screen and watch my performance later."

He still remembered that he was the older brother and had to take care of his younger sisters.

Ye Wanning roughly guessed what was going on. Hearing a noise outside the door, she pulled her second sister behind the screen.

Outside the door, the pimp, his face dark, said, “Let me tell you, this is a big client. They specifically asked for you. If you give me that attitude again, believe me, I’ll tie you up and have you worked for them.”

Liu'er was pale and thin, with red eyes. "Good brother, can't you wait a little longer? Han Lang is already raising money. He said he would redeem me once he has enough."

“I’ve waited for him for three months already. If I wait any longer, will I starve?” The pimp tapped Liu’er’s head. “You’ve been with so many men, and you still believe what men say? Let me tell you, what Han Lang? This is your fate. Even if someone redeems you, you’ll be sent back in a few years. Do you think men have any sincerity? You’re a man too, use your brain!”

Roughly wiping away Liu'er's tears, the pimp pushed open the door with one hand and pushed Liu'er's waist in with the other. "Sir, this is Liu'er. Do you need any other maids?"

"No need for now. I think Liu'er is quite good. Let him serve me well." Ye Mingyue sat in a vulgar posture and deliberately stared at Liu'er with a lecherous look. "He really has fair skin and tender flesh. He's really pleasing to the eye. Alright, this is none of your business. Get out of here."

The pimp chuckled and closed the door. Men are all impatient; today, Liu'er is in for a rough time.

After he closed the door, he had only taken a few steps when he saw Han Xu.

"Where did you take Liu'er?" Han Xu clenched his fist.

"Of course he's a prostitute! You can't afford to buy Liu'er's freedom, and you can't afford to keep him. If he doesn't make money, what will he eat?" The pimp had already seen that Han Xu was penniless. "Let me make this clear to you today: I'm here to do business. If you have money, I'll happily offer you Liu'er's indenture. If you don't, get as far away as possible and don't come here to cause trouble again. Aren't you scholars supposed to value your reputation the most? If you cause trouble again, I'll come find you at the academy!"

"I……"

"What do you mean, 'you'? You think your crotch is smarter than your brain? Hurry up and get out of my way, you bastard!" The pimp waved his hand, telling Han Xu to leave.

Han Xu had already used all his money to support Liu'er. He was truly broke and dared not let the academy or his family know, or his father would beat him to death.

Seeing the pimp's heartlessness, Han Xu's eyes reddened. "Today I am penniless, but I will not remain down on my luck forever. You are not even willing to make an exception. Aren't you afraid that one day I will rise to the highest position in the court?"

"Oh, do you think I'm easily scared?" the pimp laughed. "Don't tell me you don't have the ability. When you're truly powerful, you can make me kneel down and lick your feet. We in this line of work live for the moment. Do you think we can live to be a hundred and wait for you for twenty or thirty years?"

Those who can be pimps are all open-minded. You can't trust what men say, and you don't need to think about the future because it's useless anyway. Who knows when you'll die?

Han Xu couldn't argue with the pimp, and thinking of Liu'er being humiliated by other men, he refused to leave.

The pimp had no choice but to send someone to take Han Xu away.

Just then, the sound of a wine glass shattering came from inside the room, along with Liu'er's pleas for mercy.

"Please, sir, spare me! I promised someone I wouldn't serve anyone else until he redeemed me." Liu'er knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Han Xu saw Liu'er kneeling on the ground, half-naked, and his eyes blazed with fury.

He rushed over to hit Ye Mingyue, but Ye Mingyue kicked him away.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to disturb my fun?" Ye Mingyue, sporting a thick beard and a deliberately different accent, grabbed Liu'er's arm.

Han Xu felt a pang of heartache. Seeing Liu'er being bullied with his own eyes, he pulled Liu'er to him and hugged him tightly. "He's mine. You're not allowed to bully him!"

The pimp stomped his foot in anger and called over his servants, "Are you all dead? Didn't you hear the commotion? Hurry up and drag the person out!"

She turned to apologize to Ye Mingyue, "Please don't be angry. I have many obedient and sensible children here. Shall I get you a few more?"

"No need, it's disgusting." Ye Mingyue had completed his task and told the pimp to get lost.

The pimp cursed Han Xu and Liu'er to death in his heart, but he could only give up.

Ye Wanning, behind the screen, covered her second younger sister's mouth.

Ye Wanyu's tears flowed uncontrollably, but this was not the place to talk. Ye Wanning wiped away her tears and followed her second brother downstairs.

But as she went down the stairs, she unexpectedly saw Xie Bohuai.

Xie Bohuai walked towards him, and the pimp greeted him warmly with a smile.

Could it be that Xie Bohuai also has a taste for this?
