After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 271 Separation (11)

The maid pointed in the distance, and Ban Xiyu saw the Cuizhu Garden at the end of the road.

The scenery around the Bamboo Garden naturally looks fresh and elegant, but it is adjacent to the Baijing Hall. It is unknown how many innocent lives were lost due to the orders coming from the Bamboo Garden.

At this moment, Ban Xiyu was only a few steps away from the truth of everything. She was surrounded by calm and tranquility, but she knew that there was an unknown crisis hidden behind this wall.

The maid opened the door of Zhuyuan and said: "Girl, please."

Ban Xiyu held her breath, calmed down for a moment, and then walked in.

The furnishings in the garden were as peaceful as she imagined, and even more elegant than ordinary people's study rooms.

She raised her eyes and looked in, and saw that the bright window of the house in front of her was open, and the figure of a man could be vaguely seen inside.

At this time, the maid came forward and reported: "Master, the girl has arrived."

After he finished speaking, he stopped moving with the man copying in front of the window.He pulled up his sleeves: "Oh? Why don't you invite us in quickly?"

Ban Xiyu walked into the house.

She was mentally prepared to have a debate with the other party, but when she raised her head and saw the man's appearance, she was stunned for a moment.

When the other party saw her reaction, he was not surprised. Instead, he smiled slightly and waved his hand for the maid to retreat.

"It's better to meet after hearing for a long time. Miss Ban is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say." Jiang Lan cupped his hands at her and announced his family background: "I'm going down to Jiang Lan, a river with small boats in the sea, a magnificent Lan."

He said with a smile: "I think Miss Ben must have a lot of questions to ask. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

He stood up and poured a cup of tea for Ban Xiyu himself: "This is the newly picked tea leaves this spring. Although it is not the best, it is refreshing. Miss Ban, try it."

His few short words had revealed important information.

Ban Xiyu said: "You know my true identity." She looked at the other party warily, with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes: "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lan smiled and said: "Your identity is not a secret. I used Zhongwei Wenmei's power, and I will find out after a little investigation. As for my identity-"

He smiled meaningfully: "It seems that Wen Jisheng has never mentioned me to you, and he has kept silent about his origin. But Miss Ban is very smart, and she must have guessed something about my appearance. ?”

"How is it? My brother and I do look very similar, right?"

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu laughed softly and said, "I don't know how many people think that Wen Jisheng and you have very similar faces, but in my opinion, you two are not similar. .”

"Oh?" Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow and said, "But you were stunned when you saw me just now. Could it be that you mistakenly recognized me as your brother?"

Ban Xiyu's eyes swept over the face of the man in front of him and said: "I don't deny that your facial features are indeed somewhat similar. This is due to the relationship between close relatives, but this similarity is far more than that. To the point of mistaking you two."

The eyebrows of the person in front of him and the corners of his eyes compared with Wen Jisheng, it would be an exaggeration to say that he was carved from the same mold.This is probably inherited from their father or mother.

But the bright red butterfly birthmark at the corner of Wen Jisheng's eye was unique. Furthermore, even though the two of them looked alike, their eyes and temperaments were different.Wen Jisheng carries the heroic and free spirit of a Jianghu person, but the person in front of him... only has shrewdness and calculation hidden in his eyes, and has a hypocritical tone in his gestures. Where is the aboveboardness of Wen Jisheng?
Ban Xiyu said: "When I first met you, I was really surprised because Wen Jisheng never said that he had a brother like you."

What surprised her even more was that Wen Jisheng and Zhongwei Wenmei were actually related - Jiang Lan was Zhongwei Wenmei's "second son", and he claimed to be Wen Jisheng's younger brother, so wouldn't Wen Jisheng be Chongwei Wenmei's "second son"? Have you heard of Mei's "eldest son"?

But the reaction to Wen Jisheng before was that he didn't know anything about it.

what on earth is it?

It's not like Wen Jisheng doesn't even know his own identity.

Ban Xiyu speculated that Wen Jisheng himself might not be aware of the fishy nature of this.

At this time, Jiang Lan blew the tea leaves in the cup leisurely and said, "Brother didn't tell you about me. Maybe it's because Miss Ban's friendship with him is still shallow, and it's not enough for him to confide all his feelings." secret."

"Really?" Ban Xiyu said indifferently: "On the contrary, I think that Brother Wen just thinks that this trivial matter is not enough to talk to me - he never talks to me about insignificant things."

After the words fell, Jiang Lan looked at her in surprise.

"Hey, it seems that Miss Ban thinks she knows my brother very well." Jiang Lan said:

"But it's a pity that your idea is completely wrong - after all, his identity as the young master of Honghu Villa is not simple. How can it be regarded as a trivial and insignificant matter?"

"Honghu Villa...young master?" Ban Xiyu was stunned.

"Is this true?" Jiang Lan looked at her with a smile and said, "Not just anyone can get the Amber Golden Cicada. It was owned by the previous young masters of Honghu Villa. My good eldest brother— —Wen Jisheng—is the only young master of Honghu Villa."

This was something Ban Xiyu never expected.

She only thought that Wen Jisheng was so talented that she could get the amber golden cicada from the layers of guards at Honghu Villa, but she didn't expect that it was his thing in the first place.

At this moment, Ban Xiyu was greatly shocked.

She couldn't help but think that since Wen Jisheng was the young master of Honghu Villa and came from a well-known family, how could he become the "Black Golden Umbrella" in the world, and how could he be called the "lonely man" in his own words?
Jiang Lan saw the change in her expression: "Miss Ban, are you also very surprised? No wonder, it's all my brother's fault. He is eager to clear up the relationship with Honghu Villa, so naturally he will not easily put his Tell others the true origin. No wonder you were kept in the dark."

Ban Xiyu glanced at Jiang Lan warily and said, "That is his private matter. He has the right to decide whether to tell others about it. As his friend, I respect all his decisions."

"But you regard him as a friend, but he may not treat you the same way." Jiang Lan said quietly: "Otherwise, if he really cares about you, why wouldn't he tell you the truth? It shows that he doesn't care about you. .”

Ban Xiyu: "That's wrong. If it were me, I would choose to hide it - after all, who wants their origin to be stained?"

Jiang Lan: "Stain?"

Ban Xiyu: "Honghu Villa has a great reputation in the world, but behind the scenes, it is engaged in the business of Wenmei Wenmei, doing arrogant things, using the lost soul grass to refine medicine, making medicine, and doing all kinds of evil things. This is not What’s the stain?”

Jiang Lan's eyes were a little cold: "Miss Ban, I advise you to think twice before speaking. Don't forget whose territory you are speaking on now. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you are so disrespectful to Chong Wei Wenmei?"
