20demayo Chapter 986 Fifth Master really cares about his wife!
Chapter 986 Fifth Master really cares about his wife!
Jiang Fenghua woke up again in a carriage. She lifted the curtain and saw that the whole world was covered in snow. She clearly remembered receiving a letter from Baili Shang when she fell asleep. He told her to wait. It was still a hot summer then. How could it have turned into winter in the blink of an eye?
She shouted outside, "Stop the car! Where are you taking me?"
The carriage stopped, and a maidservant bowed respectfully to her. "What are your orders, Madam?"
Jiang Fenghua was completely dumbfounded. "Madam? Who are you calling Madam?"
The maid said, "Fifth Madam, you are the Fifth Madam!"
Jiang Fenghua panicked completely, "When did I become the Fifth Madam...?"
She suddenly thought of Ashina Xue. Was she playing tricks? She wondered, "Am I still Danji Aruan?"
The maid was also puzzled and respectfully asked, "What's wrong, Fifth Madam? You are the eldest daughter of the Danji family, and your given name is Aruan. Are you still half asleep?"
Jiang Fenghua continued, "You mean my husband is Baili Shang, so you call me Fifth Madam?"
The maid nodded. "Yes!"
Jiang Fenghua never expected that she would marry Baili Shang after just one night's sleep. It seems that she didn't know what had happened in between, or how many years had passed. How could she suddenly become Baili Shang's wife?
She asked, "Where are we going now? Where is Baili Shangren?"
The maid honestly replied, "Madam did not want to ride in the same carriage as Fifth Master, so he ordered us to take her to the capital first. The capital is holding a medical skills competition, and Madam is going to participate in the competition."
The maid then looked at the procession behind the carriage. "Although Fifth Master said he wanted to send Madam to the capital first, he was still worried, so he followed behind the whole way."
Jiang Fenghua followed her gaze and looked out of the carriage, and saw that there was indeed another carriage and a group of attendants following behind.
The maid explained, "Fifth Master really cares about Madam."
Jiang Fenghua jumped down from the carriage and ran towards Baili Shang's carriage, calling out, "Baili Shang, is that you?"
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Baili Shang, dressed in fine clothes, sat steadily inside. His expression was indifferent, showing little joy. He lacked the casual and carefree feeling that Jiang Fenghua had when she first met him, as if he didn't want to see her at all.
It even gave Jiang Fenghua the illusion that Baili Shang didn't marry Aruan because he liked her.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Baili Shang, do you still remember what happened in the cave that day?"
Baili Shang's gaze turned cold and deep. "Didn't you say you didn't want to bring it up?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "You mean after I was drugged with the love potion, you and I had a... relationship, but nothing happened?"
Baili Shang's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and his ears also turned slightly red. "I only did this to save you. After you were in that state, would I even be a man if I didn't marry you?"
Jiang Fenghua just wanted to faint, because if she fainted, would she be able to go back to that time? She knew that those things were faced by Danji Aruan and Baili Shang together, but now how did she become Danji Aruan after marrying Baili Shang?
"What happened to Baili Ayu?" She still wanted to know if Ayu had committed suicide because she had married Baili Shang.
“Ah Yu…” Baili Shang’s voice choked as he thought of Ah Yu’s death. He asked in confusion, “You don’t remember?”
"What should I remember?" Jiang Fenghua asked tentatively. "I clearly remember A Yu saying that he wanted to marry me. What happened?"
Baili Shang suddenly reached out and touched her forehead. Her forehead was no longer burning hot as it had been the night before, but A Yu had clearly died in her arms. Several months had passed, so how could A Ruan not remember?
"Say something!" Jiang Fenghua urged.
Baili Shang suddenly had a thought: was she so heartbroken that she forgot that A Yu was dead? If she just forgot like this, wouldn't that be a good thing? But how was he going to explain their relationship to her?
She was already his woman, and she seemed to have forgotten that.
Baili Shang said, "You are going to the royal city to participate in the medical skills competition. You said you wanted to make your medical skills famous throughout the world."
Jiang Fenghua now knows that Baili Ayu is dead. It turns out that she still can't change their tragedy. Why didn't Danji Aruan die with Ayu?
Suddenly, she fell straight up to the ground and fainted in the snow.
Baili Shang quickly got out of the carriage and carried her back inside.
Jiang Fenghua saw Danji Aruan's wedding day in her dream. That day was originally also the day Baili Ayu was to marry Danji Aruan, but in the end, Ayu married Danji Ayan instead, while Aruan willingly got into Baili Shang's bridal sedan chair and chose to withdraw.
Before the wedding ceremony, A Yu discovered that he was not marrying A Ruan. He desperately returned to Danji's house but could not find A Ruan. When he saw that A Ruan had already married Baili Shang, he suddenly vomited blood and died.
Ah Ruan hated herself for being unclean, so she chose to marry Baili Shang. After Ah Yu died, her heart was already filled with hatred.
At the same time, the position of head of the Baili family naturally fell into the hands of the eldest young master, Baili Chuan.
She married Baili Shang for revenge. Before the Danji, Baili, and Muqi families could successfully rebel, all three clans died at her hands. The number of lives she carried was countless.
She also saw that she was in contact with Ashina Xue and that she was secretly developing forbidden drugs for Ashina Xue. Was the destruction of Yinchuan Kingdom related to Danji Aruan?
Could this be the reason why Ashina Xue asked her to go to the royal city to see her?
In other words, in the following years, Baili Shang accompanied Danji Aruan. He took her to the royal city, where her medical skills were recognized by everyone. He took her all over the mountains and rivers, and he also planned to take her to the Central Plains to see the beautiful scenery there.
Danji Aruan lived a peaceful life in the Fifth Master's mansion. It was only when she was at peace that she was about to expose all the ugliness that people were caught off guard and the storm was about to break.
In the end, all she wanted was to kill Baili Shang with her own hands, but before she could do it, a natural disaster suddenly struck, instantly engulfing the land and rivers of Yinchuan. She failed to kill Baili Shang as she wished, and instead died with him in the disaster.
Jiang Fenghua woke up instantly and saw Baili Shang looking anxious. "How are you feeling?"
Jiang Fenghua glanced around at the surroundings; it was still summer. She then looked at their clothes. Her two long braids draped over her shoulders, not styled into a married woman's bun. She took Baili Shang's arm and asked again, "Are we married?"
Baili Shang smiled. "Have you agreed to marry me?"
Jiang Fenghua was instantly stunned. Why was she back again?
She recalled what she saw in her dream: Baili Ayu had to go to Danji's house to present his betrothal gifts first, and then Ayan would marry in his place, which would lead to the tragedy.
Jiang Fenghua then asked, "So the wedding hasn't taken place yet, and I still have a chance to marry Ayu and change their fate."
Seeing that she was only interested in marrying A-Yu, Baili Shang felt a pang of resentment. He asked, "Is marrying me really that bad?"
“No, Aruan must marry Ayu,” Jiang Fenghua said directly.
Baili Shang also knew that she and A Yu had already fallen in love. He said, "I'm afraid you can't marry A Yu. They prepared a wedding for them while you were in the capital. The person A Yu is going to marry is your sister. Today is their big day."
