Villain Probation Program

Chapter 18

Ji Yao didn't know what they said to Chen Yifeng in the room, but she came out after a cup of tea.After she left, everyone saw Chen Yifeng sitting on the bed with a dejected expression on his face, but he no longer objected to getting married.

No matter what happens tomorrow, at least everyone on the boat is happy tonight, even though the joy is short-lived for only one day.

Everything in the marriage was simple and not so particular, and everyone was familiar with each other. Ji Yao and Chen Yifeng did not wait in the wedding room after paying their respects. Instead, they toasted everyone with him.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little drunk. Ji Yao and Chen Yifeng took a trick and mixed water into the wine they drank. When everyone fell asleep on the table in a daze, they were still sober.

Apart from the couple, Jiang Rui and Shen Sinian were probably the only ones who were not drunk at the banquet.Jiang Rui was injured, while Shen Sinian did not drink alcohol because of his physical condition.Jiang Rui held the vegetables between his hands and looked at the pair of Bi people under the moonlight, feeling a little panicked for some reason.Shen Sinian stared at Jiang Rui's profile, his expression was dark and unclear.

Jiang Rui couldn't remember how he got back to his room afterwards.Last night's happy event finally cleared away a bit of the haze on the boat. In order to give the newly married couple some space, Ji Yao took Chen Yifeng to the boat, which was connected to the big boat by a rope.

After they left the ship, the haze that had finally dissipated for a while came back again.Everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but they all hoped that this day would pass more slowly.

But time is a strange thing, no matter how you pray, this day will eventually pass.Standing on the bow of the boat, Jiang Rui saw the sunset glow in the sky at a glance, burning the world red like fire.

Not far from the boat, there is a painting boat, and the sound of a piano floats from time to time in the painting boat, ethereal like a fairy sound.Jiang Rui sighed with a headache, Shen Sinian didn't know how to relieve him when he saw him like this, so he could only accompany him quietly.

It wasn't until the sun set and the moon rose that the boat made any movement.

"Miss Ji?" Jiang Rui wondered when he saw Ji Yao boarding the boat, why did Ji Yao leave Chen Yifeng alone on the boat before the time came?

"I came here while the third brother was asleep. Two young masters, can I take a moment to talk?" Ji Yao had already changed into her happy attire, her expression was calm, and her previous depression and despair were gone.

Ji Yao talked with them for an hour, Jiang Rui and Shen Sinian listened to her talk a lot, and they didn't stop until they told the identities and backgrounds of everyone on board.

"Aren't you going to tell them?" Shen Sinian didn't ask until Ji Yao left, he knew that Jiang Rui was also hesitating.

"It's dead, what's the use of stopping it, we can stop it for a while but not forever." Jiang Rui continued to sigh and said with difficulty.

It was very quiet on the boat tonight, Jiang Rui couldn't sleep, so he put on a coat and stood on the bow.The surface of the water was calm, and the wind made his face numb.

Jiang Rui was in a daze, and felt that there was an extra person beside him, and seeing that it was indeed Shen Sinian, he couldn't help but sighed again.

"Why do you keep sighing today?" Shen Sinian asked.

"Sacrificial year." Jiang Rui said with emotion.

"Huh?" Shen Sinian had already taken off his hood, heard the words and responded softly, Jiang Rui sighed again, not aware of the tenderness in the other party's voice at all.

"If you like someone, you have to be brave enough to chase after him. Don't wait." Jiang Rui expresses his feelings for some reason. Ji Yao and Chen Yifeng have known each other for many years, and they were ambiguous until they died. That layer of window paper, looking back now, is really a pity.

A Qin Ji feels that she is from a humble background, and a ranger feels that she is adrift. She has wasted many years like this, and only regrets the wasted time when she dies. But what is the use of regrets, the most useless thing in this world is regrets.

"En." Shen Sinian still looked at his side face, but this time it was much firmer.

The two stood quietly at the bow for a while before returning to the room. Just as they were about to rest, they heard movement outside.

"It's out of water." Shen Sinian discerned the key from the noisy voice.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Jiang Rui couldn't help but mention it, and hurried to the deck with Shen Sinian.

In such a night, no one except children can sleep without distraction, so everyone on board woke up in a short while and gathered on the deck.

The painting boat had been submerged by the flames soaring into the sky, and it looked very small on the vast river surface. Everyone stood on the deck blankly, and those who had a clear mind had already guessed a thing or two.

Some people didn't want to believe it and screamed to fight the fire, but they were stopped by other people, and the boat was in a mess instantly.

"Shut up!" In the end, it was Die Er who calmed everyone down. She was still young, but after experiencing the storms of this period, she seemed to have grown up in an instant.

"Die'er, don't stop them, let everyone go to put out the fire!"

"Sister Jinse." Dier wiped away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, covered her face and cried bitterly, "Don't you understand? This is the path my sister chose for me." After speaking, she collapsed on the ground.

The woman named Jinse didn't understand, she just didn't want to believe it.

The fire burned for three full hours until only a wooden frame was left on the boat before it was extinguished.No one left until the fire was extinguished, and no one said anything about fighting the fire. They just stood quietly at the bow of the boat, waiting for the boat to burn out.

It was finally dawn, and everyone was not in a good mood after last night, but they didn't mean to rest.After being sad, all they have left is probably the fear of the future.

Although Jiang Rui got Ji Yao's entrustment, it was not easy to speak up at this time, but Die'er was the first to calm down after crying enough, and let everyone gather in the hall, while she talked to Jiang Rui.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, and I happened to see you talking to my sister." Die'er's eyes were still swollen, and she looked very pitiful.

"I know that my sister entrusted us to you." Die'er continued: "At this time, everyone is a little bit wary, but don't worry, I will persuade everyone. In the future... just leave it to the two of you."

"Miss Ji can rest assured when you grow up." Jiang Rui sighed.

In fact, Ji Yao had already thought out a way out for them. There were more than a hundred people on board, most of whom were family members.These people, Jiang Rui, distributed some of the money Ji Yao left behind to them, and let those who had been favored by him take care of them. Although these people could not help him directly, it would not be a big problem to hide one or two families.

Jiang Rui entrusted many people and dispersed them completely, and also prevented Feng Han from causing trouble after he found out.

It is more difficult to arrange for the remaining [-] or so people, because the rest are all girls' families, and they are young, so they are not at ease entrusting them to anyone.Fortunately, Ji Yao left a lot of money, so they let them stay on the boat for the time being.

After arranging everyone's whereabouts, they modified the awning boat on the big boat, and let Jiang Rui and Shen Sinian pretend to be fishermen and return to the shore.

The matter of the Prince's Mansion was suppressed, but some rumors still leaked out. Jiang Rui and the two hid in Tibet, and finally contacted Fengxuan.

Feng Xuan helped them a lot, if it wasn't for the people he had arranged outside the prince's mansion to respond, even if Shen Sinian threatened with poison, he would not have escaped so smoothly.

Fengxuan was also very happy to see that they were fine, but he hesitated about Jiang Rui's request, it was easy to avoid the prince's eyes and ears, but Fengju was not so easy to fool.What's more, he really didn't need to take risks for these people and tear up Feng Zhu's face.

"My lord, do you still remember what I told you when I came from Medicine Valley?" Jiang Rui was not in a hurry, he and Feng Xuan could trade once and then trade a second time, it was nothing more than the size of the chips.

"Remember." Fengxuan said slowly, recalling what he said to himself when he traveled thousands of miles from Medicine Valley to Fengshouzhou: "My lord, I can make you no longer depend on others." With the confidence and freedom unique to teenagers, but he said these in order to save another person.

Now, he said the same thing to himself again, this time still for someone else.

"Doesn't your lord want to take the most honorable seat in the world?" Jiang Rui asked.

Thinking, of course Fengxuan thought, when he was not in good health before, he only thought about raising his body, so he could live every day.But when he recovered, he realized that the real trouble was behind him. His elder brother hated him, and his nephew was afraid of him.He had no intention of fighting for that seat, but if he didn't fight, the only thing left for him was death.

Jiang Rui never doubted Fengxuan's ambition, so he was not surprised when he heard the positive answer.

Courtiers, wealthy businessmen, Jianghu people...Jiang Rui is like a thread, tightly binding these people who had no connection before.If it was just for the grace of saving his life, who would be willing to give up his wealth and life to help him? What really moved these people was the dense network of interests behind Jiang Rui.

This is also the reason why Fengxuan agreed to Jiang Rui, otherwise a doctor, no matter how superb his medical skills are, would not be able to let him give it a go.
