Chapter 980 Ah Ruan, I Like You
The thought that everyone would die soon filled Jiang Fenghua with mixed feelings. Knowing their fate, she didn't want to have too much contact with them. She said, "Father is waiting for me, so I won't go to eat breakfast. I'll go see Auntie after I come back from my house call!"
Seeing that she was leaving in a hurry, Danjiqing and his wife asked in confusion, "Why is Aruan acting strangely today? Why has she become so polite? She used to be all smiles."
"Can't you see that she's been forcing a smile all this time?" Mu Qilan continued, "Sometimes wearing a mask for too long can be tiring. She's really suffered these past years. Her father doesn't love her, and she doesn't have a loving mother. I feel so sorry for her."
Danjiqing was also helpless.
Mu Qilan, however, was a straightforward person. "It must be that my cousin said something nasty again. I really want Aruan to marry Baili Ayu as soon as possible, so that someone will love her. She has suffered so much since she was a child in your Danji family."
Danjiqing didn't know what to say, but he felt sorry for her mother who died so young. He was also helpless, "Let's prepare more dowry for Aruan when she gets married!"
Mu Qilan said, "We are the elders, so we should naturally prepare more dowry for her. We can't let Aruan be unable to hold her head up after marrying into the Baili family. After all, she will be the mistress of the Baili family, and no one will bully her in the future."
Danjiqing held Mu Qilan's hand and said, "Alan, thank you. Marrying you is the greatest blessing in my life."
Mu Qilan blushed, "It's all my cousin's fault. She always mistreats Aruan. If she had treated Aruan like her own daughter, Aruan wouldn't have suffered so much."
Mu Qilan is the daughter of the Mu Qi family. When she was at home, she would always hear her cousin complaining that there was an annoying young lady in the Danji family. In order to torment Danji Aruan, she deliberately did not give her food or clothes, and even made her do all the housework, living like a servant.
At that time, she was still the daughter of Mu Qi's family. Whenever she heard these things, she would think that children without a biological mother would not be happy. Every time she saw Aruan, she felt sorry for her.
Fortunately, Aruan was talented in medicine and worked hard enough. By chance, she was valued in the Danji family.
Jiang Fenghua had no idea that Dan Jiqing and his wife had been lamenting her loss ever since she left. When she was taken to the Baili family and saw Baili Achuan's appearance, she was already used to it. If Xiao Shang knew that he was a "useless" person with crippled legs a thousand years ago, how helpless he would be!
She looked around. She had come directly here with Baili Chuan's men. This place seemed to be a villa, with a very quiet environment. Apart from his servants, there was no one else. It was likely that the Baili family did not live here.
Baili Achuan's face remained expressionless. At this moment, the servant who was taking care of him said, "Young Master's leg is hurting again. Doctor Ruan, please take a good look at our young master!"
In front of the servants, Baili Chuan also said, "I don't know why my legs have started to hurt again. I'll have to trouble Miss Ruan."
Jiang Fenghua smiled, but she only felt embarrassed. She had no memory of having medical skills at all. What did the Queen mean by this? Since she had brought her to Yinchuan Kingdom, why not give her more skills? At least make her a doctor with decent medical skills, like Danji Aruan.
She said, "Has the young master's leg returned to what it was before? Tell me the details!" She remembered that A-Yu had said that she had cured his brother's illness, which meant that his illness was cured, so why was it hurting again?
Bailichuan's servants brought her a stool and gestured for her to sit down. She took out her medicine box and found silver needles inside. She had seen the imperial physicians use them, but she didn't know how to use them herself.
Baili Chuan had already pulled up his trousers, revealing his lean and fair thighs. Jiang Fenghua instinctively avoided him. She wasn't a doctor and still thought about the difference between men and women, but she didn't expect Baili Chuan to be so unreserved.
She held up the silver needles and said, "Let's start with the acupuncture!"
Perhaps it was because looking at his face reminded her of Xiao Shang's cheeky face, but when she was inserting acupuncture needles, she didn't hesitate or be polite at all, and just randomly found a few acupoints to insert the needles.
Instantly, Baili Chuan grimaced and cried out in pain.
Jiang Fenghua also made up a story, "Does the young master really feel a lot of pain?"
"It hurts a lot." Baili Chuan stared at his calf, which was bleeding.
Jiang Fenghua poured a bottle of medicinal wine onto his calf where he had been given acupuncture, and said, "This means the treatment is effective! Young Master should be able to walk again soon."
The medicinal wine stung even more when it was poured on him, but he forced himself not to get angry or stand up immediately. Instead, he smiled apologetically and said, "I trust Miss Ruan's medical skills. You told me before that my leg would definitely get better, and it has already shown signs of improvement. If I continue treatment, it will be completely cured."
"Did I say that?" Jiang Fenghua asked.
Baili Chuan nodded. "Yes! Have you forgotten?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, "With careful treatment, the young master will definitely get better."
The servant felt a sharp pain as the silver needle pierced his flesh. He glanced at the incense burner by the window and then quietly withdrew.
At this moment, Baili Chuan suddenly grasped her hand, his eyes filled with infatuation, "Miss Ruan is right, I will definitely get better."
Anger flashed in Jiang Fenghua's eyes as she pulled her hand away. "What are you doing, young master?"
Baili Chuan stopped pretending and said, "Aruan, marry me! I fell in love with you the day you cured my illness. If you marry me, I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "The person I like is Brother A-Yu."
"That's not what you said that day," Baili Chuan said anxiously.
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion, "What did I say?"
Baili Chuan said urgently, "You said you like me."
Jiang Fenghua was dumbfounded. Had Danji Aruan said such a thing to him?
No, since Baili Ayu has already discussed marriage with Aruan, it means that the person she likes is Ayu. She tentatively said, "I didn't say such a thing."
Baili Chuan took out a handkerchief. "You wrote to me saying you wanted to marry me."
"What kind of letter is it?" Jiang Fenghua took the handkerchief from his hand, opened it, and read it. It did indeed contain love poems expressing her intention to elope with Baili Chuan and leave Licheng.
Baili Chuan held her hand again, "Ayu will not marry you. The person he wants to marry is your sister. Ayu is the next head of the Baili family, and his mother will not allow him to marry you either."
If Jiang Fenghua hadn't had that dream, she might also have doubted Baili Ayu's feelings for Danji Aruan. If marrying Ayan would be more beneficial to him, he might have married her. But now she's more convinced that the words on the handkerchief were actually written by someone else.
Suddenly, Jiang Fenghua felt a little dizzy. She looked at the incense burner next to her and saw that there was a sleeping incense burning in it.
Suddenly, Baili Chuan stood up from his wheelchair and said, "Aruan, I like you."
