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."
