Chapter 178 Writing a Letter to Mu Qingyang
The morning light is just breaking, inside Fengqing Pavilion.
Ruan Yun'er sat in front of the dressing table, staring at the haggard face in the bronze mirror, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
Last night, her son Chen cried all night for some unknown reason.
She and the wet nurse took turns coaxing the baby until almost five o'clock in the morning. Perhaps the little one was tired of crying, and finally fell into a deep sleep!
Looking at the bruises under her eyes, Ruan Yun'er couldn't help but frown.
"Young Madam, the fifth young lady from Ziyunxuan is here!" Ningshuang, the personal maid, came over to report.
Ruan Yun'er looked puzzled and whispered to herself, "Why is she here?"
She thought to herself that she and Mu Lanfeng did not have much interaction. Since Mu Lanfeng's return, the number of times they met was very few. If she counted carefully, it was no more than three times. She really couldn't understand why Mu Lanfeng came here at this time under such circumstances?
What is this all about?
Even though Ruan Yun'er and Mu Lanfeng didn't have much interaction and had only met a few times, now that she was here, it would be bad to leave her aside.
Ruan Yun'er pondered for a moment, then turned to Ningshuang and said, "Ningshuang, go and greet the fifth girl first. I'll tidy up a bit here and will be there soon!"
Ning Shuang nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes, Madam, I will go right away!"
After saying that, Ningshuang turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Ruan Yun'er forced herself to stay awake, combed her hair and put on her makeup quickly, then stood up and walked out the door.
At this time, Mu Lanfeng was sitting quietly in the main hall, her fingers tapping the table unconsciously, the rhythm was neither fast nor slow, her eyes were slightly lowered, as if she was thinking deeply about something.
"Fifth sister, you are a rare guest! How come you have time to come to my place today?" Ruan Yun'er greeted her warmly with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Mu Lanfeng immediately stood up, her body swaying lightly like a willow, and she leaned forward gracefully, a faint smile bloomed on her face. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Can't my sister come here if she has nothing to do?"
Ruan Yun'er laughed and said jokingly, "Look at my stupid mouth. I really can't speak. I actually made my sister unhappy! I deserve to be beaten, I deserve to be beaten!"
As she spoke, she pretended to be serious, raised her hand slightly, and pretended to pat her mouth lightly.
Mu Lanfeng looked at Ruan Yun'er's face. Although it was covered with makeup, it still couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.
So, she asked, "Excuse me for being frank, but is my sister-in-law ill? Why do you look so pale?"
Ruan Yuner sighed helplessly and said truthfully, "To be honest, I don't know why Chen'er cried all night last night, and the nurse and I couldn't comfort him no matter what we did!"
"I see. May I ask if I, your sister, can go and see Chen'er?" Mu Lanfeng said softly.
"Of course you can, but Chen'er is sleeping soundly at the moment!" Ruan Yun'er frowned, looking embarrassed.
Mu Lanfeng nodded slightly and said softly: "If that's the case, let's wait until Chen'er wakes up!"
Ruan Yun'er nodded, her heart full of emotion. She had also heard about Mu Lanfeng's medical skills. The servants in the mansion said they were miraculous, but she did not agree with his way of treating diseases.
"Fifth sister, I know that you never come to me without a reason. Just tell me what's the matter. As long as I can help, I will never hesitate." Ruan Yun'er said bluntly.
Mu Lanfeng was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Ruan Yun'er to be so direct.
She pursed her lips slightly, a faint blush appeared on her fair face, and she slowly said, "Sister-in-law is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I came here this time to ask for something!"
Ruan Yun'er raised her chin slightly, with a firm look in her eyes, "Sister, just say it!"
"My sister wants my sister-in-law to write a letter home to my second brother!" Mu Lanfeng said.
Ruan Yun'er looked puzzled and asked in confusion: "Why do you want me to write it? Why doesn't my sister write it herself?"
Mu Lanfeng patiently explained, "Sister-in-law, my second brother and I have never exchanged letters. If I suddenly wrote to him, it would definitely arouse suspicion. But my sister-in-law and my second brother are husband and wife, and they often exchange letters. It seems much more natural for my sister-in-law to write the letter."
Ruan Yun'er nodded slightly and asked, "Sister, what do you want your sister-in-law to write in the letter?"
Seeing Ruan Yun'er agreed, Mu Lanfeng hurriedly took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his sleeve, gently unfolded it, and then said: "Sister-in-law, you only need to copy the contents of the paper once."
"Sister-in-law, you must not mention this matter to anyone! After you finish copying, it's best to forget what's on the paper!" Mu Lanfeng warned again with a serious look.
Ruan Yun'er's eyes fell on the paper. As she read the contents on the paper, her expression became more and more solemn, her brows were furrowed, and waves of worry surged in her heart.
Mu Lanfeng seemed to see Ruan Yuner's worry, and quickly said to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! I'm just guessing, and I asked my second brother to pay more attention. If this is true, we can prepare in advance!"
Ruan Yun'er raised her eyes and cast her gaze towards Mu Lanfeng, her voice full of worry: "Sister, this matter is really very serious!"
"That's why we need to be extra careful." Mu Lanfeng said softly.
"Okay, let's not delay any further. I'll write it now." After Ruan Yun'er finished speaking, she stood up and went to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He sat down steadily, picked up the pen, and began to copy the contents of the paper with a focused expression.
Ruan Yun'er wrote steadily, and lines of beautiful words gradually appeared on the paper.
The room was so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the slight friction of the pen tip against the paper.
Mu Lanfeng stood aside, looking nervous, his eyes fixed on the pen in Ruan Yun'er's hand.
As time passed, Ruan Yun'er finally finished copying the last word.
She gently put down the pen, took a long breath, looked up at Mu Lanfeng, and said, "Sister, it's done."
Mu Lanfeng hurried forward and carefully checked the contents on the paper. After confirming that it was correct, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Sister-in-law, I'll leave this matter to you!" Mu Lanfeng held Ruan Yun'er's hands tightly with both hands, his eyes full of gratitude.
Ruan Yun'er nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will be careful."
After saying that, Ruan Yun'er slightly turned sideways and reached out to take an envelope from the table beside her.
Slowly put the letter into the envelope, then gently smooth the edge of the letter with your fingertips, then pick up the sealing wax beside it, lower your head slightly, and seal the envelope.
Then, Ningshuang was called over.
Ningshuang came over quickly upon hearing the voice. Ruan Yuner handed the letter to Ningshuang, shook her hand slightly, and instructed: "Ningshuang, please find someone to deliver this letter safely as usual."
Ningshuang nodded solemnly, took the letter with both hands, nodded slightly, turned and left.
Seeing that the letter had been sent out, Mu Lanfeng looked solemn and reminded again: "Sister-in-law, this matter is of great importance. Please pay more attention to the reply from my second brother!"
Ruan Yun'er nodded slightly and replied softly, "Don't worry, sister. I will pay attention to it."
At this moment, the loud and urgent cry of a baby suddenly came from next door, as if carrying endless grievances. The cry was like fine needles that instantly pierced Ruan Yuner's heart.
Ruan Yun'er's face instantly became solemn when she heard this. She turned to look at Mu Lanfeng and said softly, "Sister, Chen'er has woken up. I'll have to trouble you to check on him for me."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lanfeng immediately responded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll go see Chen'er right away!"
Ruan Yun'er led Mu Lanfeng to the next door.
When they came to the next room, the wet nurse was holding Chen'er and coaxing him. Seeing Ruan Yun'er coming over, she hurriedly held the child in front of her.
I saw the little baby crying with a red face, waving his little hands and feet.
Ruan Yuner took the child from the nurse and coaxed him softly, "Chen'er, be good. Don't cry. Look, your aunt is here to see you!"
The child continued to cry. No matter how Ruan Yuner tried to comfort him, the crying did not subside.
"Sister-in-law, let me take a look." Mu Lanfeng said softly, reaching out and carefully taking the child from Ruan Yun'er's hands.
Counting the time, the child is already seven months old.
The child had a ruddy complexion, his cry was loud and powerful, and he seemed quite heavy in his arms.
The moment Mu Lanfeng took the child, the child stopped crying for a short time and even giggled twice, but just a moment later, the child started crying again.
