Chapter 332 Honghu Villa (13)

After the miscarriage, Xiao Ling became ill. Xiao Niansheng also saw with his own eyes that his mother went from a fresh appearance to a haggard and sick body with dull eyes.

Xiao Niansheng took care of his mother every day. Seeing Xiao Ling's body deteriorating, he hated Jiang Yin in his heart.

Until the day Xiao Ling died of illness, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and set a fire in the courtyard where Jiang Yin lived, intending to burn Jiang Yin inside.

But he failed to do so. When the servants and maids in the mansion saw the fire, they immediately put it out and took him to see Jiang Yin.

The father and son are connected by blood, but when they meet they are like enemies meeting each other.

Jiang Yin stared at Xiao Niansheng with cold eyes, and Xiao Niansheng glared at him fiercely.

The two people's eyes exchanged silently for a moment, and then Jiang Yin waved his hand and ordered Xiao Niansheng to be detained in Zhuxi Garden for reflection. No maids or servants are allowed to serve, but only tea and food are provided every day, so that people will not starve to death.

……

"At that time, I hated myself for being weak. I hated myself for not being able to kill Jiang Yin." Wen Jisheng's voice became slightly hoarse as he talked about the past.

"If I had been able to use martial arts at that time, my mother would not have been tortured in Honghu Villa. From the moment I watched my mother die of illness but was unable to do anything, I swore that I would take all the suffering she suffered in the future. Get it back!" Wen Ji said:
"Jiang Yin... one day, I will make him pay the price."

Even if we fail today, there is still tomorrow; if we fail tomorrow, there is still the day after tomorrow. He is still young and will have plenty of time to spend with Jiang Yin in the future.

"Evil people will eventually be punished, and we are not in a hurry." Ban Xiyu walked up to him, gently held his sleeve and tugged on his arm.

Through the layers of clothing, Wen Jisheng felt the warmth from Ban Xiyu's soft palm. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry that you heard about these family scandals. I hope you won't be offended."

Ban Xiyu shook her head and said, "This is your family matter. How can it be called a family scandal?" She then asked, "Since Jiang Yin imprisoned you at that time, how did you escape from Honghu Villa?"

Wen Jisheng said: "It was my adoptive father who saved me." He said: "After my mother died of illness, my adoptive father heard the news from somewhere, so he rushed here from Lingnan..."

The moment he learned about Xiao Ling's death, Wen Wancheng felt sad and angry. He wanted to rush to Honghu Villa and chop Jiang Yin with a knife.

But he also knew that his own ability could not shake Jiang Yin in the slightest.

Not to mention that Jiang Yin has Honghu Villa as his backing, even Jiang Yin himself may not be able to defeat him.

Wen Wancheng endured it again and again before he could hold back his impulsive and reckless heart. After thinking about it, he thought that if he wanted to bring Xiao Niansheng back to Lingnan, he had to outsmart him.

Otherwise, if he takes the open road, he may not even be able to enter the side door of Honghu Villa.

So Wen Wancheng borrowed a false identity and took a detour from Jiangnan to Fanghe Mountain. He claimed to be a merchant selling silk in the south of the Yangtze River and wanted to open a silk cloth shop in the town at the foot of Fanghe Mountain.

As a foreigner, he came to visit in order to let the local "local snake", that is, Honghu Villa, take care of his business.

As for a small businessman of a small silk and satin shop, he did not need to be personally received by Jiang Yin, the owner of the shop. Because of this, Wen Wancheng successfully avoided Jiang Yin and only met with Manager Xu of the villa.

Wen Wancheng knew that Manager Xu was Jiang Yin's right-hand man and had some skills, so Wen Wancheng was fully prepared before coming. He secretly bribed a handyman in the villa and asked him to help create a little trouble to lure Manager Xu away. At the same time, he took the opportunity to run to the place where Xiao Niansheng was detained, picked the lock, and hurriedly took the people away.

To avoid being discovered, Wen Wancheng immediately transferred to a fast horse and fled in a hurry after receiving Xiao Niansheng.

He was also afraid that the people from the villa would catch up, so as soon as he left the city gate, he commissioned two groups of people to gallop away in three different directions to disrupt Jiang Yin's sight.

Similarly, Wen Wancheng did not dare to return to Lingnan immediately to ensure safety. He took Xiao Niansheng to the north, and then lived in a town near the sea in the east for a few months, and then took a long circuit back to the town in Lingnan.

"Since I left Honghu Villa, I changed my name from my adoptive father's surname to Ji Sheng." Wen Ji Sheng said, "That's when I started learning martial arts."

His purpose of learning martial arts was self-evident. Wen Wancheng knew it and did not stop him. He allowed Wen Jisheng to realize his plan.

A few years later, Wen Wancheng's business became increasingly large, and he also had trade relations with the Wuyue tribe. At that time, Wen Jisheng was getting older, and Wen Wancheng felt relieved and could go out to do business with peace of mind.

In these years, Wen Wancheng stayed outside the Great Wall to do business with the Wuyue tribe.

It was also during the time when Wen Wancheng was away from home that Wen Jisheng returned to Honghu Villa on the eve of his mother's death anniversary.

He stayed in the villa for a few days. After worshiping his mother, he broke off the father-son relationship with Jiang Yin and left Fanghe Mountain alone.

At this point, Wen Jisheng lowered his head and looked at Ban Xiyu and said, "You know what happened next. I traveled around the world and met Lou Xiyue, and later... I met you again."

He smiled sincerely and said: "To be honest, I am lucky to get to know you in my life." He paused and added: "Including Lou Xiyue."

This last sentence seems to be hiding something.

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu lowered his head slightly, with a rare look of embarrassment on his face. There was a calm smile on her lips: "No, I should be the lucky one."

As she said that, she took the initiative to take a step closer, and then generously hugged Wen Jisheng's straight waist: "The sufferings of the past are over. No matter how difficult it is, you will eventually see the light of day. I only regret that I wish I could have been by your side at that time. .

"Maybe I can't do anything, but I hope I can give you some comfort."

Hearing Jisheng being hugged by her, feeling her soft body, and the unique faint fragrance of her body lingering on the tip of his nose, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

The next moment, he also hugged Ban Xiyu tightly.

His chin rested on her shoulder, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "Thank you for your comfort. Whether it is because of sympathy or for other reasons, I thank you."

Ban Xiyu said: "But it's not because of sympathy."

"what?"

"I always thought Brother Wen was quite smart, why don't you understand now?" Ban Xiyu said: "That day at Huaiyan Villa, I understood your thoughts, but now you still can't understand me What’s your intention?”

The moment the words fell, Wen Jisheng's mind went blank for a moment. He immediately let go of his hand, leaned down slightly and stared closely at Ban Xiyu's face: "You, you mean..."
