The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 179 The mastermind behind the scenes

Seeing the child crying non-stop, Ruan Yun'er felt like her heart was being torn apart. She stared at the child closely, full of heartache and anxiety, wishing she could immediately take the child from Mu Lanfeng's arms.

"Sister-in-law, when did Chen'er start crying like this?" Mu Lanfeng asked.

Ruan Yun'er thought for a moment and replied, "Yesterday evening, after I washed Chen'er's body and changed him into clean clothes, he started crying for no reason."

"Are the clothes you are changing into worn ones?" Mu Lanfeng asked again.

"No, it was sent by my fourth sister!" Ruan Yun'er blurted out.

At this time, the child's crying became louder and louder, and his little face turned red.

Mu Lanfeng held the child in his arms, looking anxious. He quickly walked to the couch and carefully placed the child on it.

Then he gently undressed the child layer by layer.

However, when he touched the child's clothes, Mu Lanfeng retracted his hand unexpectedly, feeling that the clothes pricked his hand and made it itchy.

Mu Lanfeng's heart trembled. He carefully stretched out his fingers again and gently touched the underwear. The prickly feeling was still obvious. He carefully observed this unusual dress.

The fabric of the clothes looked ordinary, but there were some tiny bumps hidden in the texture, as if something was carefully sewn inside.

Mu Lanfeng gently picked up a corner, brought it close to his eyes, and tried to figure out what it was.

At this time, the child's crying became more and more shrill, and his little face turned red, which made people feel very distressed.

Ruan Yun'er paced anxiously, tears streaming down her face. She asked in a trembling voice, "What on earth is going on? Why is the child wearing such clothes?"

Mu Lanfeng did not answer immediately, concentrating on studying the underwear.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

On the inside of the clothes, in addition to the strange symbols, there was also some faint powder residue. She sniffed it gently, and a pungent smell hit her face.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with this dress." Mu Lanfeng said in a deep voice.

Having said this, he immediately ordered someone to bring clean cloth and wrap the child carefully to prevent the child from continuing to come into contact with the suspicious clothing.

Just as Mu Lanfeng carefully took off the suspicious clothes for the child, the child's crying gradually weakened, slowly receding like the tide.

Gradually, the heart-wrenching cry stopped, and although there were still traces of tears on the child's little face, he had regained some calmness.

Mu Lanfeng frowned, handed the dress to Ruan Yuner with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, it must be this thing that makes Chener uncomfortable!"

Ruan Yun'er slowly stretched out her slightly trembling hands and took the dress cautiously.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were filled with anger and sadness.

She stared at the dress intently, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably, as if there was an unforgivable sin on it.

"You are so bad, Mu Hongliao. You and I have no grudges in recent times or in the past. Why are you so cruel to harm my child?" She gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, calm down first." Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly and said solemnly, "With my fourth sister's brain, she may not be able to do this. Although she is a little willful and reckless on weekdays, such meticulous and sinister things, in my opinion, are really not her style!"

"But this dress was clearly given by her!" Ruan Yun'er frowned, her words full of confusion and resentment.

"Perhaps someone borrowed her hand! My sister-in-law is very smart, and she must know my fourth sister to some extent. Although my fourth sister is sometimes willful, she will never do such a sinister thing!"

Mu Lanfeng hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Sister-in-law, please look. Fourth sister has always been flamboyant but simple-minded. Such a meticulous method of tampering with clothes is very different from her usual style. Moreover, if Fourth sister really wants to harm Chen'er, given her personality, she will never be so roundabout and will definitely attack directly."

"Moreover, Fourth Sister has no deep hatred with Sister-in-law and Chen'er. It is unreasonable for her to do such a bad thing for no reason. All these signs show that there must be someone behind this matter, using Fourth Sister's hand to achieve an ulterior motive."

Ruan Yuner listened to Mu Lanfeng's analysis and nodded slightly. The anger in her heart subsided a little, but her doubts were still not completely eliminated. "Even if it's as you said, how can we find the person who borrowed her hand? Also, sister, do you know what this white powder is?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much about this powder! After inspection, it was found that this was just some ordinary medicinal powder. Although it would irritate the child's nasal cavity and make the child feel uncomfortable, it would not cause any substantial harm to the child." Mu Lanfeng comforted softly, his eyes full of determination, trying to ease Ruan Yuner's worries.

After hearing what Mu Lanfeng said, Ruan Yun'er's worry did not completely disappear.

She gently stroked the child's face, her eyes full of pity, "Although it is just ordinary medicine powder, the child is so young, and I don't know if there will be any hidden dangers after suffering such a torment."

She sighed slightly, her eyes revealing deep remorse, "It's all my fault. I didn't check the clothes carefully, so Chen'er suffered this."

Seeing his sister-in-law blaming herself so much, Mu Lanfeng felt sorry for her and quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, please don't blame yourself. No one expected this. Now that we have found the problem, we must be more careful and protect Chen'er."

"What should we do next?" Ruan Yun'er asked unwillingly.

There was anxiety and confusion in her eyes, as if she was seeking a clear direction.

Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Sister-in-law, you should not do anything now."

"Why? How could you let Chen'er suffer so much in vain?" Ruan Yun'er felt full of grievances. She hugged the child tightly, her voice trembling slightly, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Sister-in-law, you have to wait and see what happens. If you do nothing at this time, the person who did it will get impatient and reveal his true colors!"

"Sister-in-law, we need to wait and see what happens. Doing nothing at this time is the best strategy. We must make the person who did it unable to sit still and reveal his true identity in anxiety and uneasiness." Mu Lanfeng looked calm, his eyes revealing wisdom and determination.

After hearing what Mu Lanfeng said, Ruan Yun'er still felt unwilling, but she also understood the reason behind it.

She bit her lower lip slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "But I really can't bear to see Chen'er suffer this injustice, but I can't do anything for him!"

Mu Lanfeng gently patted Ruan Yuner's shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we are not really doing nothing. What we need most right now is to wait patiently, do you understand? Wait for the person behind the scenes to lose his composure."

"Since they dared to attack Chen'er, they must be keeping an eye on the development of the situation. The longer we wait, the more suspicious they will be, worrying whether we have noticed something and are secretly planning a counterattack. Under this kind of pressure, they are likely to make some irrational moves, and that will be the best opportunity for us to catch them."

Ruan Yuner frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded gently. "I understand, but this waiting process is really tormenting."

Mu Lanfeng understood his sister-in-law's feelings. He sighed and said, "I know this is difficult, but for Chen'er and to find the real murderer, we must be patient. Sister-in-law, just take care of Chen'er and leave the rest to me. I will make the person behind the scenes pay a heavy price."

Ruan Yun'er looked at Mu Lanfeng's determined eyes and felt a little relieved.

She hugged Chen'er tightly and said softly, "Okay, Fifth Sister, I believe you. I will take good care of Chen'er and wait for you to find out who is behind this!"

"Sister-in-law, I will go back to Ziyunxuan later to prescribe some calming medicine for Chen'er. Chen'er has been crying for a long time. After taking this calming medicine, it will definitely help him fall asleep peacefully. Please find a way to get Chen'er to take it." Mu Lanfeng said softly, his eyes full of concern.

Ruan Yuner nodded gently and looked at Chen'er in her arms tenderly, "Then I'll trouble you, Fifth Sister. I feel really bad for Chen'er crying like this. I just hope that this soup can help him get a good sleep and get enough energy!"

After saying that, Mu Lanfeng turned around and walked away quickly, heading towards Ziyunxuan.
