Chapter 1031 Encounter in a Dream 3
The city lord of Baili said, "Brother Danji, why don't you say anything? If your Danji family wants to rise above others and carry forward your medical skills, you can only follow my Baili family."
Danjimai thought that it would be difficult for the two families alone to deal with the Ashina tribe. Otherwise, why would so many powerful families support the Ashina tribe to sit on the throne of Yinchuan Kingdom? They all obeyed the orders of the Ashina tribe.
He didn't say these words aloud, but simply said, "I'm just a doctor. Apart from the medical skills of my Danji family that can help the city lord and Brother Mu Qi, we are of no use."
The Danji family did not have a palace as spacious and magnificent as the Baili family's.
He patted his chest to pledge his loyalty: "I, Danjimai, and all members of the Danji family will serve the city lord and obey his orders."
Lord Baili said happily, "With Brother Danji's help, I believe we will succeed soon."
After he finished speaking, he coughed twice.
Danji Mai said with concern, "Lord City Lord, please take care of your health. You have lost your beloved son. If it is true, as Patriarch Mu Qi said, that Young Master A Yu can be saved, Danji Mai is willing to do everything in his power to help you. However, if the Queen's people invade, the secret technique will also be lost. I urge you to find a solution as soon as possible."
Lord Baili was very pleased with Danji Maiqing's loyalty. He was not worried at all about the secret technique being discovered. He said, "There are rumors outside, but they can't produce any evidence. That woman Ashina Xue doesn't dare to make any rash moves. Our Baili family is not to be trifled with in Yinchuan Kingdom. How can we let her manipulate us?"
This is also why the head of the Mu family dared not compete with the Baili family.
They were all waiting for the city lord's instructions.
He said, “Come with me. I’ll take you to a place where you’ll find out. We’ll research the secret techniques there. We also need Brother Danji’s help. Please invite all the elites from your Danji family. If we succeed, the three of us will share the world and become the masters of Yinchuan. We can even conquer the Central Plains.”
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang listened to their conversation from the shadows. They didn't come out until there was no more noise inside. Xie Shang pushed open the door, but there was no one inside.
He said, "It seems they have entered the underground palace. There is an entrance to the underground palace in the study."
Jiang Fenghua then thought of the men in black she had encountered in the valley. Those men must have been the Queen's people. It turned out that the Ashina tribe's secret technique had been stolen by them back then. Such an important thing, no wonder the Queen didn't dare to send troops to hunt them down openly.
Perhaps the medical skills competition held by the Queen was also related to the loss of the secret technique.
Danji Aruan met the Queen while participating in a medical skills competition held in the royal city and joined her side, but how did she manage to become the Queen?
At this moment, a maid passed by outside the door and whispered, "The First Madam can't even get out of bed anymore, it's really pitiful. How could Young Master Yu just disappear like that?"
"It's all that vixen's fault. She bewitched Young Master A-Yu, and he insisted on marrying her. But then she turned around and entered Fifth Master's house, and suddenly became the young master's fifth aunt."
Another maid spoke up: "That day, Young Master Yu was so happy to marry Miss Ruan, but who knew that he would marry Miss Yan instead. Young Master Yu and Miss Ruan were so close, how could he suddenly marry Fifth Master and become Fifth Madam?"
"Hmph, Danji Aruan killed Young Master Ayu, how can she still have the face to live, and the face to be the Fifth Madam? I don't know how the Fifth Master was bewitched by her, making everyone respectfully call her the Fifth Madam. She is not even worthy to carry the Fifth Master's shoes, so why did she become the Fifth Madam?"
"Everyone in the city was cursing her as a jinx, and Fifth Master never said he wanted to marry her, but she herself went and entered Fifth Master's mansion."
Suddenly, everyone was cursing Danji Aruan, and the area outside the door became noisy. A guard ran in and asked, "Did you see Fifth Master and Fifth Madam enter the inner quarters?"
The maidservant had just arrived and then spoke up, "Has Fifth Master returned?"
"Did that woman come along too?" another maid asked. "I'm going to inform the Madam and see how she'll face her."
"The outside was crowded with people, all clamoring to see the city lord."
The maid said, "They can see the city lord whenever they want. How could you be so inconsiderate as to come directly to the city lord?"
The guard said, "Actually, it was the young master who sent me to report to the city lord."
Lord Baili had already dismissed everyone when Patriarch Mu Qi and Danji entered.
The guard knocked on the door, but there was no response after several knocks, so the guard left.
In the study, Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang hid in the shadows. After listening to the maids cursing Danji Aruan, they said, "It seems that Baili Shang protected Danji Aruan quite well back then. At least he didn't expose the fact that she was drugged and lost her virginity. Otherwise, she might have been drowned in spittle."
Xie Shang said, "Even if it's exposed, can her situation be any better than it is now?"
Jiang Fenghua sighed, "So that's how difficult it must have been for her all alone back then."
Xie Shang continued, "Could she have had it as difficult as Baili Shang? It should be Baili Shang who saved her, yet in the end, she had to be cursed along with him, and even had to turn against the Baili family to marry him, going from being a niece-in-law to an aunt-in-law. What was she thinking at the time?"
Jiang Fenghua glared at him. "She is the victim. If she had a choice, I believe she wouldn't have married Baili Shang."
"In the end, she still took the initiative to marry Baili Shang," Xie Shang said.
"She had to endure it all for the sake of revenge." Jiang Fenghua continued, "These three families are all cunning and treacherous, especially her own father, Danji Mai, who is the worst of them all. He is the most good at pretending and in the end, he obtained the secret technique, which harmed Yinchuan Kingdom and Aruan."
Later, it was indeed Danji Aruan who personally wiped out the three major families, but who would have thought that Danji Mai would come back to life.
At this moment, Xie Shang felt the floor beneath his feet was somewhat hollow. He whispered, "Don't make a sound, I think I've found the entrance to the underground palace."
He squatted down and gently patted the surface. "It's empty."
They began searching again for the switch to open the underground palace. Just then, a voice rang out from outside the door. Someone said respectfully, "Where did that little bitch Danji Aruan go? I'm going to kill her. Does she think Baili Shang can protect her? Today I'll see if Baili Shang can still protect her. Search her thoroughly, dig three feet into the ground to find her."
The First Madam has already received news from Baili Chuan that Danji Aruan and Baili Shang have arrived at the inner quarters. "None of you have seen Baili Shang."
The maids all shook their heads. Even if they saw them, they would not betray Fifth Master. Usually, only Fifth Master treated them like human beings.
Of all the Baili family members, only Fifth Master lived a truly human life. The others lived very repressed lives. The one who was least competitive and unambitious lived the most carefree life, but he was bewitched by a vixen. Everyone felt sorry for Fifth Master.
