I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

291 The Mole

From a full set of mahogany furniture to a small pen town, all of them were exquisite items.

Bai Shiyuan ordered his attendant to bring tea and pastries before dismissing the servants. Only he and Mo Ruyue were left in the room, and no one was allowed to come within five steps of the room.

After all the preventive measures were in place, he sat down and said to Mo Ruyue, “Lady Qin, there’s only you and me now. If you have anything, just ask and say it.”

“Alright, what I want to ask is, does the Bai family have any enemies?”

Mo Ruyue didn’t waste any words and asked directly.

“Lady Qin, my Bai family is in the restaurant business. I’m sure you’ve heard of the saying that people in the same trade are enemies. As for the other enemies… There are some.”

Bai Shiyuan also gave a definite answer, but he did not go into details.

Mo Ruyue had no intention of interfering in the Bai family’s private affairs. It was enough to know that he had enemies in addition to his competitors.

“I’ve checked your sister’s condition just now. I can say with certainty that there’s a mole in your house, Young Master. Both of their conditions have been designed layer by layer, and there are multiple triggers for them to lead to this result.

“As expected! It’s really like that!”

Bai Shiyuan slammed the table and stood up. His thick eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were wide with anger. He could not hold back his anger and shouted.

He saw that Mo Ruyue had been reluctant to tell him the cause of the illness and had even asked some meaningful questions. He had long been suspicious in his heart. Now that he had really heard her say this and confirmed his suspicion, anger suddenly rose in his heart. He couldn’t wait to find the mole right now.

“From the looks of it, your sister’s condition isn’t the most serious. On the contrary, your mother’s condition has already reached a critical state. To be honest, if you hadn’t insisted on inviting me over today, your mother wouldn’t have talked to me at midnight.”

Mo Ruyue threw out another piece of shocking news, shocking Bai Shiyuan so much that his body trembled, and he only managed to stabilize himself after shaking twice.

“What… How could this be? How did this happen?”

Of course, he had also seen that his mother’s condition was not good, so he had rushed to find Mo Ruyue, but he had never thought that the situation would be so critical to this extent. While he broke out in a cold sweat, he was also extremely glad that Mo Ruyue had made an exception for his Bai family.

In Bai Shiyuan’s heart, he did not doubt at all whether Mo Ruyue was taking the opportunity to ask for a favor. With her medical skills, there was no need for this. With the imperial court’s commendation, the continuous operations, and the diagnosis and treatment of all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases, Mo Ruyue was now a world-famous divine doctor. She did not need to rely on lies to raise her own status.

“I’ve just carefully compared your sister’s diet and found that whether it’s the traditional Chinese medicine she uses to strengthen her spleen and blood, or every dish in her diet, there are either excessive hormones or a large number of ingredients or seasonings that stimulate her appetite.”

“In addition, your sister’s long-term anxiety will also lead to gluttony and endocrine disorder, which will lead to a surge in weight. And your sister’s condition is one of the causes of your mother’s sudden heart failure and myocardial infarction.”

Although Bai Shiyuan could not understand some of the technical terms in Mo Ruyue’s words, there was one thing he could understand. Thus, after pondering for a moment, he asked, “What Lady Qin means is that my younger sister’s illness is to lure out my mother’s mental illness, so my mother is the real truth behind the mole?”

Mo Ruyue nodded approvingly. “That’s right. The young master is indeed very intelligent. You’ve seen through it with just a little hint.”

After all, Bai Shiyuan was the future heir of a super-rich family, so it was easy and comfortable to communicate with him. She did not need to explain too much, and he could accurately understand her meaning.

“I didn’t come to this conclusion based on this point alone. Just now, I smelled a strange fragrance in your mother’s room. That smell is sweet and alluring at first, but after smelling it for a long time, it will make people dizzy and nauseated. In the end, it will turn into a pungent smell.”

“That smell is the second cause of your mother’s heart failure. Because it appeared in her room, no one else would have the chance to do so except for the people around her. And I speculate that the smell appeared in your mother’s room for no less than two months.”

Mo Ruyue laid out the basis of her deduction one by one. This way, if Bai Shiyuan felt that her words were not enough to be believed, he could still use the evidence of her deduction to verify it elsewhere.

“No wonder. You were caught off guard.”

Bai Shiyuan gritted his teeth and said, “My mother has always been in good health. Even if she occasionally gets a cold, she can recover without taking any medicine. This time, the illness came in full force. I thought that my mother was worried about my younger sister’s condition and couldn’t eat or sleep well, causing her to fall sick. I didn’t expect that the two of them were harmed by evil people!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more regretful he became. As he spoke, his eyes were already filled with tears.

They were shocked and angry because the Bai family had always been low-key and did many good deeds. They didn’t expect that they didn’t even realize that someone had already taken advantage of them.

What he regretted was that his mother and sister had been schemed against long ago. As a son and brother, not only did he not notice it, but he also treated it as an ordinary illness. This time, if he did not invite Lady Qin, how could he have known such a thunderous news!

“Young Master, I don’t care who the mole in your house is, why he has a grudge with others, or how you want to solve this matter. All I can do now is tell you what I have seen and inferred. The key is still what you and your father want to do.”

Mo Ruyue’s words caused Bai Shiyuan to turn his head to look at her. He asked excitedly, “Lady Qin, you mean, you can cure my mother and my sister?”

Although Mo Ruyue didn’t say it clearly, he was still keenly aware of the meaning behind her words.

“Since I can say it, I can naturally do it. However, it is impossible for me to stay in your Bai family to take care of you all day long. If there is no completely reliable person to serve you, even if I have the right medicine and treatment plan, I’m afraid that in the end, not only will I not be able to cure the mother and daughter’s illness, but I will also be used as a scapegoat.”

Mo Ruyue said the ugly words first. If Bai Shiyuan could not come up with a solution that could make her feel at ease, even if she could cure the mother and daughter, she would not easily take action.

After all, she didn’t know who the mole was at all. It was completely a situation where the enemy was in the dark while she was out in the open. Therefore, out of an attitude of protecting herself, she would definitely not make a move easily.

“Yes, yes, I can fully understand Lady Qin’s concerns.”

Bai Shiyuan also nodded repeatedly, acknowledging Mo Ruyue’s words. He then made a request.

“How about this, didn’t Lady Qin tell the babies that she wouldn’t go back tonight? Then please stay here for the night. Before you leave tomorrow morning, I will definitely come up with a plan that will make you feel at ease.”

“Did Lady Qin really say that?”

After hearing his son’s words, the Bai family’s master, Bai Jinshang’s face became serious.

Although her daughter’s condition seemed to be excusable, it did not seem to be that simple after careful observation. However, the most important thing now was to quickly cure the mother and daughter’s illness. Naturally, they had to find the mole.

His wife’s illness had already reached a critical point. He couldn’t wait to slowly find the mole, so he could only do two things at once.

“Since Lady Qin wants a peaceful environment, then we will give her a peaceful environment.”
