Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355 Estate Owner Welcoming the Bride 4 Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355 Estate Owner Welcoming the Bride 4 Speaking up to here, he paused for a moment and continued, “Although Pear Blossom Villa had a significant presence back then, it had not yet established an estate.

After the Estate was established, all the servants were newly hired, so no one knew that Fei’er was not my biological son.

Since Fei’er was considered my son, the servants naturally referred to Fei’er’s mother, Ruan Yingyu, as the Estate Owner’s wife.

I grappled with this issue since Ruan Yingyu was my sister-in-law; it didn’t seem appropriate for the servants to think of her as my wife.

However, I couldn’t clarify the situation without risking the exposure that Fei’er wasn’t my own son.

Moreover, acknowledging Fei’er as my son was also to shield him from my sworn elder brother’s enemies, lest they find Fei’er and continue to harass him.

Thus, the entire martial world knew I had a wife, but what they didn’t know was when I married or who she was; they only knew I had a wife and a child.”

Though Sister-in-law Ruan Yingyu carried the name of my wife to the outside world, I never had any improper thoughts about her.

To avoid embarrassment for both of us, I lived in the Study Room, she in the side room, and the servants assumed that my relationship with her was not good.

It wasn’t long before sister-in-law fell ill and passed awayaEUR”our relationship had remained absolutely clear and honest until her death.”

He sighed, “Originally, I had a deep father-son relationship with Fei’er, and I thought that was all there would be in my life, with Pear Blossom Villa becoming more powerful than ever.

I figured that after my death, Fei’er would inherit the Estate.

Who could have known that last year Fei’er would send killers to murder me?”

His eyes, clear-cut between black and white, gazed at Su Qingyue with deep emotion, “Thank you, Miss Su, for your righteous rescue.

Fei’er had even bribed my enemies last year, poisoning me with Seven-Day Soul Breaking Powder, and sent a large number of killers after me.

If I hadn’t run into you, I would have died a long time ago.

You saved me and yet refused even to leave your name.

I wanted to find you immediately, and with the power of Pear Blossom Villa, finding one person would have been all too easy.

But with my life in danger, I preferred not to recognize you too soon, to keep my enemies from threatening your safety.

Or using you…

to threaten me.”

His tone became regretful, “Vainly, I still had Fei’er on my mind as I was poisoned, at death’s door.

Once I returned to Pear Blossom Villa, I investigated who was trying to harm me.

Fei’er’s plotting to kill me had been in preparation for many years; he hired our enemies to act, and the killers he sent were under our enemies’ banner.

Thus, after spending several months, I eradicated my enemies, and only before their death did they reveal that Fei’er was the mastermind behind the curtain.”

A trace of fog seemed to rise in his eyes, “Miss Su, I truly treated Fei’er like my own child.

When his conspiracy came to light, I asked him why he wanted to kill me.

Was I not good enough to him?

He said it was because…

I was too young.

I was only seven years older than him, and he couldn’t wait for the day when he would inherit Pear Blossom Villa after my death.”

Su Qingyue knew that after Chang Haotian had crippled Chang Fei’s martial arts, he had handed him over to the Official Residence.

Without a trial, Chang Fei was beheaded directly.

“I couldn’t bear to kill Fei’er with my own hands, so instead, I let the Official Residence execute him.” Chang Haotian’s face revealed a hint of pain, “Even with a deep father-son bond, how could I tolerate him when he was so ungratefully rebellious?

Fei’er, however, claimed he never considered me as his father, that it was all my own wishful thinking.

He questioned how he could recognize someone only seven years his senior as his father, considering it a disgrace.

Even though I publicly claimed to be much older, it still felt like a thorn was stuck in his heart.

He said recognizing me as his father was simply for the sake of Pear Blossom Villa’s wealth and power, so he could become the legitimate heir, bearing the humiliation to call me ‘father.’ What was even harder for me to accept was that Fei’er’s birth mother was alive, she too was teaching him to kill me once he was strong enough.”
