Chapter 984 When shall we get married?
Jiang Fenghua had long anticipated that she would face all sorts of difficulties upon her return. No one cared whether she was safe or not, yet everyone suspected her. What did that mean?
Seeing Danji Mai's attitude, she understood that the Baili family hadn't made it clear that they had knocked out Baili Chuan because everyone felt guilty.
She smiled calmly, "Young Master's condition keeps fluctuating. I gave him acupuncture today, and I will give him acupuncture again tomorrow, so I left the medicine box with Young Master Baili."
After hearing this, Danji Mai didn't know what to say. He knew something must have happened. The fact that the First Madam hadn't made a big fuss meant that Aruan wasn't with the eldest young master.
He stared at his daughter and felt that her eyes were exceptionally sincere and that she exuded a noble air, unlike her usual self. What had happened?
At this moment, a woman slowly walked to Jiang Fenghua's side. A kind smile appeared on her lips, and she took Jiang Fenghua's hand. She couldn't believe that Jiang Fenghua could return unharmed despite being under the influence of the love potion. Her clothes had been changed, but her hair was still wet. The weather was so nice, and it wasn't raining, so why was her hair wet?
Unless... she is no longer a virgin.
Jiang Fenghua also knew that the other party's identity was Mu Qirou, Danji Aruan's stepmother, a woman with a heart of stone and a hypocritical facade. She was just waiting to see how the other party would make her move.
Mu Qirou asked with concern, "What happened to Aruan outside? Her hair is wet, her face is pale, and her hands are cold."
“Mother is right. When I came back, I encountered a group of suspicious people with knives in their hands. It seemed like I was being chased.” Jiang Fenghua’s eyes were red as she held Mu Qirou’s hand tightly. “Fortunately, Mother’s spirit in heaven protected me, and that’s how I escaped back. Otherwise, I would have died at their hands.”
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Danji Mai asked, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself."
“Father, I…” Jiang Fenghua’s eyes were red, and she looked very aggrieved: “I saw them searching for people everywhere. I was a woman all alone and didn’t dare to stay any longer, so I ran away. I was terrified.”
She cried as she spoke, as if she were truly terrified.
Danjiqing also asked with concern, "Aruan, are you alright? You went to treat the young master, how did you encounter assassins? Why did the assassins want to kill you? Why did you change your clothes?"
Jiang Fenghua shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know who wanted to kill me. I accidentally fell into the water while I was running away. Later, I found that those people were still searching the streets. I was afraid that they would find my home and cause trouble for my father and mother. I was also afraid that I would come home in a disheveled state and make you worry, so I just bought some clothes and changed them to avoid them and escape back home."
A group of people listened with worried expressions, but she didn't seem to be lying, and Ah Ruan wouldn't lie.
Jiang Fenghua found everyone's expressions amusing. She continued, "When I was running away, I seemed to hear them saying that the person the Queen sent to find must be found. I don't know what they were looking for."
Danji Mai's eyes immediately became wary. "Did you really hear the Queen's people looking for someone?"
Jiang Fenghua pretended to be startled, "What do you mean, Father? I didn't say that the Queen was looking for me. They were carrying weapons. I thought they were going to kill me. Luckily, I escaped."
Danjimai said angrily, "I know, of course they're not looking for you. What would they do to kill a little girl like you?"
Jiang Fenghua's eyes widened. "But I thought they were going to kill me! I was so scared! Could it be that they really weren't going to kill me? Now I'm relieved."
A hint of panic flashed in Danji Mai's eyes, which Jiang Fenghua noticed. The things she said were meant to test Danji Mai, and she deliberately mentioned that the Queen had sent people to find someone in order to confirm Baili Shang's words.
She was also afraid that Danji Mai would use her as a sacrifice again, but she didn't expect that the Danji family would also get involved in the power struggle between the Baili family and the Muqi family.
Danji Mai frowned, tapped his pipe, and said in a deep voice, "Go back inside!"
Danji Ayan was still unconvinced. "Father, don't believe what she says. I think she's just made up a bunch of lies after doing something shameful. What's so special about her that anyone would kill her? Why would the Queen send people to Licheng to look for someone? I think she's just making things up..."
Danjimai roared, "Go back inside!"
After saying that, he left with a heavy heart, and no one knows where he went.
Jiang Fenghua had a gut feeling that something must have happened, and it was related to the Queen.
At this moment, Baili Ayu also came over and asked anxiously, "Aruan, are you alright!"
Jiang Fenghua didn't know what happened at the villa after she left, but she did hear A-Yu's voice.
She said calmly and casually, "I'm fine! Why did you suddenly come, Brother Yu?"
"My brother is in trouble, you..." He stopped mid-sentence and shut his mouth.
Danji Ayan came closer and asked, "What happened to the young master? Didn't my sister go to treat him? She didn't say anything about him being in trouble!"
Baili Ayu quickly changed his tune, "It's nothing, his leg pain has just gotten worse, so I came to ask Aruan if she could help relieve his pain."
When Mu Qirou saw her "future son-in-law" arrive, her face lit up with joy. "Since the young master is here, why don't you stay for dinner? Let Ayan cook some delicious food for the young master."
The matriarch of the Baili family is convinced that her daughter-in-law, Ayan, is the one who will become the next matriarch of the Baili family.
"I'm not eating, I need to talk to Aruan." He was also anxious and pulled Aruan out.
Before Jiang Fenghua could react, A Yu found a quiet spot and whispered, "If it weren't for my fifth uncle stopping me outside and telling me about your predicament, I would have barged in. Luckily, I didn't cause you any trouble. A Ruan, I'm sorry, it was my mother's fault. I will persuade her to let us get married. My father has already agreed, so it won't matter if my mother disagrees."
Jiang Fenghua felt as if she could see Baili Shang hiding in the shadows.
She said, "Please thank your fifth uncle for me; he saved me." She hadn't even gone up to say thank you when she left, and now that she thought about it, it was indeed a bit wrong of her.
Her mind wasn't on her romantic relationship with Baili Ayu. She asked, "Did you hear anything about the Queen at the Baili family's residence?"
Ayu said, "No! Has the Queen sent any news? In principle, the Baili family should submit to the Queen. Many families have already submitted to the Ashina clan, and our Baili family is no exception. Father said that after we get married, he will represent Licheng to pay respects to the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua now realized that he knew nothing at all. She asked, "When are we getting married?"
Ayu paused for a moment, then said, "The date hasn't been set yet. Does Aruan also want to marry me soon? I also want to marry Aruan as soon as possible."
Jiang Fenghua thought to herself: As long as she can successfully marry A Yu, she can break the curse of the other shore!
Ashina Xue probably didn't tell her about the events of a thousand years ago because she wanted to change the tragedy of Yinchuan Kingdom. She couldn't possibly fight against natural disasters!
