Chapter 983 A Different Baili Shang
Jiang Fenghua and Baili Shang emerged from the cave only to find a group of suspicious people searching the area. Given her current state, she certainly couldn't appear in public.
Baili Shang said, "They are the eldest sister-in-law's people. If they see you and me together like this, you won't be able to explain yourself clearly."
He smiled calmly and said, "I don't really care." He even seemed to hope that someone would find out.
Jiang Fenghua stared at him coldly, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Baili Shang replied, "How can you walk like this?"
"What do you suggest we do?" Jiang Fenghua asked again, now forced to humbly seek Baili Shang's help.
A keen interest flashed in Baili Shang's eyes. "You're begging me."
Jiang Fenghua wasn't ungrateful; Baili Shang had indeed saved her today. She hadn't expected that she and Xie Shang's past life were so intertwined in the dream created by Ashina Xue.
Baili Shang picked her up and deliberately tried to leave, but Jiang Fenghua said urgently, "You don't want to fall out with Madam Baili, do you? You saved the person she was trying to harm. Aren't you openly trying to provoke her?"
Baili Shang paused for a moment. He had to admit that she was very good at understanding people's hearts. His eldest sister-in-law did have a certain status in the Baili family, while his and his mother's status in the Baili family was indeed somewhat awkward.
He suddenly whistled, and the chestnut horse that had carried them earlier galloped toward him. He put Jiang Fenghua on the horse, then mounted his own horse and shielded her in front of him.
Jiang Fenghua secretly wondered if he intended for them to walk like this on the road...
The next moment, he put a black hooded cloak on her and said, "This is what I usually wear to protect myself from the wind and sand when I ride horses. Just make do with it for now. Hold on tight to my waist and I promise no one will suspect anything."
The cloak was so large that it almost completely covered Jiang Fenghua, but she didn't think much of it.
Before she could react, Baili Shang had already ridden away from the woods.
Jiang Fenghua felt a sudden rush and quickly hugged his waist, burying herself in his arms and pressing her face against his chest. The wind was so strong that her hat was likely to be blown off.
She knew Baili Shang was doing it on purpose, but now she had no choice but to listen to him and hoped to get away with it.
Baili Shang glanced at the woman in his arms who had suddenly become docile and a smile appeared on his lips. "It's so much better to follow Fifth Master. Fifth Master can take you around to have a good time. Why bother going to the Baili family to compete for the position of mistress?"
Jiang Fenghua pinched the flesh on his waist hard, and Baili Shang immediately shut his mouth.
Those searching for Danji Aruan on the road only saw Fifth Master's spirited figure suddenly appear, and no one had time to react before wondering if he was still alive.
Baili Shang was not about to let them search him. He was a powerful figure in Licheng, and no one dared to offend him.
He didn't take her directly back to Danji's house, but instead took her to a clothing shop in the city.
-
Jiang Fenghua seemed like a different person when she came out of the clothing store. She was quite grateful for Baili Shang's help. She thought he was only attracted to Danji Aruan's beauty and wanted to conquer and possess her. She didn't expect him to be such a gentleman.
However, to her surprise, she saw Baili Shang surrounded by a group of beautiful women the next moment. They dressed and behaved like prostitutes in a tavern who entertained customers. They even had a close relationship with Baili Shang, touching his face and pinching his waist.
There was even a petite woman with half her waist exposed and a circle of "pearls" sewn on her navel, who leaned on Baili Shang's shoulder and said softly, "When will Fifth Master go to see Anu? She misses Fifth Master."
"Anytime is fine!" Baili Shang teased everyone with a big smile.
His handsome appearance made women swoon, and they were overjoyed, throwing themselves into his arms one after another, showering him with kisses.
Jiang Fenghua felt goosebumps all over her body when she saw this. She never expected that Baili Shang was such a "romantic" playboy.
Xie Shang was much more composed than him. Perhaps it was because Xie Shang's status forced him to be so composed, while Baili Shang didn't have to fight for power and could just live a carefree and happy life. He must be much happier than Xie Shang!
She was now all ready and slipped away quietly while he wasn't paying attention to her.
When Baili Shang was facing the women, he smiled and said sweet words of praise, but out of the corner of his eye, he was looking in the direction where Danji Aruan had left.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Doesn't Danji Aruan know that she is very beautiful?
He recalled how she had done everything in her power to save his life; he owed her a life, and today he had finally repaid it.
He survived only because she applied medicine to his wounds. It's as if she's forgotten that. At least she could have used the fact that she saved his life to blackmail him, but she didn't.
Baili Shang deliberately didn't explain it to her clearly; it was more appropriate for her to go home quietly than for him to send her off in a high-profile manner.
He himself did not expect to be able to spend so much time alone with Danji Aruan.
After Danji Aruan quietly left, he followed her without a sound. Danji's family was no pushovers either, especially her stepmother, who was a real scoundrel.
-
When Jiang Fenghua returned to Danji's house, she found it surrounded by people, all seemingly waiting for her to give them an explanation.
Jiang Fenghua appeared completely calm and composed, but Danji Ayan was the first to rush out and question her, "Where did you go? Why are you only coming back at this hour?"
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Father asked me to treat Young Master Baili's illness, so I went. What's wrong with coming back now? It's not even dark yet!"
Ayan had no idea when her mouth had become so sharp. She was eager to expose her, "You didn't go there to treat the young master at all."
“I’m not going there for treatment, what am I going there for? Tell me.” She asked this while looking at Danjimai. She couldn’t believe that a father could scheme against his own daughter and ruin her reputation.
“You are…” Only then did Ayan stare at her clothes. “You’ve changed your clothes. You weren’t wearing this when you went out this morning. You’re telling me you went out to do something shameful.”
Jiang Fenghua sneered, "Then tell me the truth!"
Ah Yan wasn't stupid enough to say anything in public, but she was still resentful that she hadn't been caught in the act.
"I don't think I bumped into Ayan when I went out this morning, how do you know I wasn't wearing this outfit? You seem quite concerned about what I was wearing, why?" Jiang Fenghua also argued with her.
Danji Ayan was at a loss for words. She looked at her mother guiltily, wanting to know what had happened. She was waiting to see Aruan make a fool of herself.
At this moment, Danjiqing and Muqilan also noticed that her clothes seemed to have been changed. Although the colors were similar, the patterns were different. Aruan's clothes were all embroidered by herself, and this garment was clearly not made by her.
They also had doubts and were waiting for Ah Ruan to explain.
While smoking his pipe, Danjimai said, "Why didn't you bring your medicine box back?"
