Chapter 1029 Encounter in a Dream
Xie Shang thought: Danji Aruan is the person the Baili family hates the most for killing her son. How could she dare to step into this place?
With Danji Mai present, no one made things difficult for Danji Aruan. Besides, they were indeed there to treat the city lord's illness, and Danji Aruan's medical skills were widely recognized in Licheng.
Danji Aruan then said to Danji Mai and the head of the Muqi family, "Father and Uncle Muqi, please go and visit the city lord first! I want to check on the young master's leg ailment first. I wonder if the young master's leg ailment has worsened again. The young master was able to stand up the other day."
The reason why the head of the Mu family and Danjimai came together was because they had important matters to discuss with the city lord.
After they left, Baili Chuan was helped up and put back into his wheelchair. Danji Aruan suddenly walked up to him and said, "Young Master's leg should be feeling better now! Do you remember when I treated your leg ailment with acupuncture? I wonder what happened afterward."
Baili Chuan was stunned. What did she mean? How did she know his leg injury was cured? He had never stood up in front of her before.
He always felt something was off about Aruan's eyes, but he was still drawn to her beauty. He said, "I never expected Miss Aruan to suddenly marry Fifth Uncle. Ayu couldn't think straight for a moment, so he..."
Suddenly, Aruan pulled out a handful of silver needles from her purse and, taking advantage of Baili Chuan's momentary lapse in attention, stabbed them into his leg. The pain made him jump up from his wheelchair: "Danji Aruan, why are you stabbing me?"
She smiled and said, "It's all for treating Fifth Master's leg ailment. Has Fifth Master forgotten what he did to me back at the villa?"
That day, he had given her an aphrodisiac, but in the end, it benefited Baili Shang. He kept wondering who had rescued her.
He said, "You should ask Fifth Uncle what happened. Why did you suddenly marry Fifth Uncle, which broke A-Yu's heart and made him unable to go on living?"
Danji Aruan, seemingly possessing some kind of "martial arts skill," kicked him to the ground again and stomped directly on the back of his hand. "Does that hurt? Was that enough force?"
The pressure on her foot increased, and Baili Chuan couldn't pull away at all. He could only cry out, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Aruan took another handful of silver needles and tried to stab Bailichuan, but was stopped by his servant.
Aruan suddenly became incredibly strong, shoving the servant's hand away, causing him to fall flat on his back. Then, with lightning speed, she plunged the silver needle into Baili Chuan's thigh. "This is all to repay you, to repay you for drugging Aruan that day, causing her..."
She didn't continue. Baili Chuan had never seen Aruan so fierce. "I don't understand what you're saying. If you want to blame someone, blame the First Madam. She didn't want you to marry her son. She was the one who drugged you to make Ayu give up. Who would have thought Ayu was so fragile that he died from excessive grief?"
If it were the real A-Ruan, she would have truly believed these words, and she would have even taken all the blame upon herself. But now, the person inside A-Ruan's body is Jiang Fenghua, and she never expected that she would enter a dream again after just one nap.
She was afraid she would wake up from the dream immediately, so the moment she saw Baili Chuan, she decided to avenge him for drugging her that day.
Jiang Fenghua's fierce gaze frightened the servants of the Baili family so much that they dared not step forward.
At this moment, Xie Shang stared at Danji Aruan's back and called out in a deep voice, "Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Fenghua suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Baili Shang. She had originally wanted to say "thank you" to him, but who would call her "Ruan Ruan"? Only her family and Xie Shang.
The two exchanged a glance. Jiang Fenghua was even a little excited to see Xie Shang in her dream. She thought he would never wake up again. She said, "Are you him? I am Ruan Ruan."
Xie Shang finally realized that the Danji Aruan in front of him was actually Jiang Fenghua. He couldn't understand why he dreamed that Jiang Fenghua was also in his dream.
Both of them found it unbelievable; they were using someone else's identity, yet they dared not acknowledge each other now.
Fortunately, Danji Aruan is now Baili Shang's wife in name only. If they get closer, at most people will scold her for being "shameless" and ungrateful.
Danji Aruan's reputation in Licheng is not good now. Everyone has witnessed her love with Baili Ayu. In the end, she married the Fifth Master and even caused the death of her lover, which led to a dramatic change in Licheng.
Many harsh words have already drowned Danji Aruan; now, the only one left alive is Danji Aruan, who is single-mindedly seeking revenge for Danji Ayu.
Baili Chuan just couldn't understand why their relationship had suddenly improved when she should hate Baili Shang. In just a few days, Danji Aruan had forgotten Ayu and turned to Baili Shang's arms.
Xie Shang no longer cared about Baili Chuan. When he realized that the person he was talking to was actually Jiang Fenghua, he became extremely excited and took Jiang Fenghua's hand to leave.
Jiang Fenghua looked at the Baili family's buildings and lowered her voice, saying, "We can't leave yet. I finally managed to follow Danji Mai into the Baili family's gate. I suspect that Xichuan is not entirely Yinchuan Kingdom, but rather a part of it. The palace in Xichuan is actually the Baili family's. We need to find the secrets in the underground palace now."
Xie Shang understood Jiang Fenghua's meaning. They had always thought that only the palace where Dan Zhongmai lived was the royal palace of the Ashina tribe, but that was not the case. They were still in Licheng.
Xie Shang was so excited that he wanted to hug Jiang Fenghua. He thought he was dead and might never see Jiang Fenghua again. He never expected that the two of them would meet in this way. He said, "Are we just dreaming? Will I be able to go back alive?"
Jiang Fenghua nodded. "Don't worry, my husband will be fine. We just had a dream. When we wake up, we'll be back to reality, and you'll be alright."
"Ruan Ruan, I'm so glad to see you again." Xie Shang couldn't help but call out to her.
Jiang Fenghua clearly remembered her longing and worry for Xie Shang these past few days. She was afraid he would leave her, afraid he would die. Xie Shang held a very heavy place in her heart, more important than anyone else.
Suddenly, they heard another voice, "They killed A-Yu and the Queen. They are researching the secret techniques they stole from the Queen in the underground palace. Go quickly!"
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Did you hear a woman's voice?"
Xie Shang nodded. "I heard that. I guess she might be Danji Aruan. She's the one who led you into the dream."
"So the secret is still in the underground palace," Xie Shang added.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Let's go to the underground palace. As long as we find the secrets inside, we can defeat Danjimai."
Baili Chuan had already gotten up from the ground. He hadn't expected that Danji Aruan and Baili Shang had been colluding for a long time.
When did their relationship become so good? Was Ah Yu also deceived by them?
