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

Chapter 159 Being followed

At dawn, the sky is bright.

A faint paleness quietly appeared on the edge of the sky, and a thin mist like a veil slowly floated in the air, covering the earth with a veil.

The Mu Mansion also gradually became lively from its quiet state.

Outside the gate of the mansion, big red lanterns were neatly arranged from the eaves of the door all the way to the end of the street, like a long festive dragon.

The breeze blew gently, the lanterns swayed gently, and cast a warm halo.

In the courtyard, the craftsmen were concentrating and working intensively on building the wedding tent.

Thick wooden pillars were erected steadily, and red silk hung down from the ceiling like a waterfall. The dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered with golden silk threads sparkled particularly brightly under the bright sunshine.

The early morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Jiang had put a lot of effort into arranging Mu Baiying's wedding.

We started careful preparations early on, pouring a lot of effort into everything from the layout of the wedding venue to the arrangement of every detail.

Now, everything is ready, and Jiang is waiting with great joy, hoping that her daughter can marry into the royal palace with honor.

Mu Xun's face was filled with joy. Whenever he met people, he smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close. His happiness was beyond words.

Although Mu Baiying is not his biological child, in his eyes, Mu Baiying is closer to him than his own child.

Musun is very proud of her intelligence and talent.

In his eyes, Mu Baiying is his only pride and the brightest pearl in his heart.

Even though Mu Baiying was reluctant in her heart, she had to pretend that she liked it very much.

After all, it is a high and honorable position. How many women in the world would be lucky enough to marry a prince?

Such an honor requires one to respond appropriately even if one has to put on a forced smile, without losing courtesy and dignity.

Mu Lanfeng has always been a light sleeper and was woken up early by the noise outside.

In recent days, everyone has been focusing on Mu Baiying's marriage and has no time to care about her.

In this way, no matter she went out of the house or came back late, no one would control her, which gave her a lot of freedom.

As long as it is not too excessive, Mu Xun will just choose to turn a blind eye and not pursue it too much.

After all, once Mu Lanfeng starts making trouble, no one can expect peace!

What he said was so logical and every word made sense that it was impossible to refute!

……

Today, Mu Lanfeng chose to go out through the back door.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into Mu Lanxue unexpectedly.

Mu Lanxue put her hands on her hips and blocked her way aggressively.

"Third sister, why are you doing this?" Mu Lanfeng asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Mu Lanxue raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and rushed over with big strides, blocking Mu Lanfeng's way like a gust of wind.

"What do you mean? Humph! Tell the truth, where are you planning to go next?" Mu Lanxue's voice was so loud that it seemed to penetrate people's eardrums.

Then he lowered his head slightly and muttered softly, "Don't you even know to take me with you?"

That look was both firm and questioning, but also contained a bit of grievance, as if he wanted to be taken along.

"Third sister, I do have important things to do, and it's really inconvenient to bring you along. How about we do it another day? Besides, my eldest sister is getting married soon, and the mansion is very lively these days!" Mu Lanfeng said in a soft and coaxing manner.

There was a hint of pleading in her eyes, hoping that Mu Lanxue could understand her difficulties. She knew Mu Lanxue's temper very well, and if she didn't handle it properly, she would have trouble getting out of this situation today.

"Who wants to join in her fun!" Mu Lanxue curled her lips with a look of disdain.

As he spoke, he raised his chin and turned slightly to the side.

"I don't want to wait until another day. I want to go out with you today. Just go about your business. I promise not to disturb you."

Mu Lanfeng felt even more helpless when he saw Mu Lanxue like this. He finally softened his heart and said, "Forget it, since Third Sister is so insistent, let's go together. But Third Sister, you have to promise me that you won't mess around along the way!"

When Mu Lanxue heard this, she immediately showed joy on her face and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I won't do anything rash."

After saying that, she reached out and held Mu Lanfeng's arm, her face full of excitement.

Mu Lanfeng looked at her like this and shook his head helplessly.

After taking only a few steps out, Mu Lanfeng vaguely felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her and Mu Lanxue invisibly.

Her heart suddenly tightened and she turned back abruptly, but after looking around, she found nothing.

The feeling of being spied on lingered, causing her brows to furrow tightly and a sense of uneasiness to surge in her heart.

Mu Lanfeng calmed himself down, forced a relaxed smile on his face, turned to look at Mu Lanxue and said, "Third sister, let's go quickly, don't delay my business."

Mu Lanxue didn't notice anything unusual and responded happily, "Okay, we're on our way!"

As Mu Lanfeng walked, he was secretly alert to the movements around him.

His eyes were like a hawk, glancing around from time to time, watching for any possible abnormalities. He was thinking to himself that if someone was really following him, he would have to find a way to get rid of him.

But Mu Lanxue must not know, lest she panics and cause other troubles.

They continued to move forward. The feeling of being followed always lingered in her mind, like a thorn in her back. She tried to stay calm. After all, in the face of this unknown danger, she knew that she had to protect Mu Lanxue.

She slightly turned sideways, protecting Mu Lanxue on her inner side without leaving any trace. Her steps seemed casual, but in fact she was always ready to deal with possible dangers.

"Third sister, let me ask you, if you might have to fight with someone later, would you be afraid?" Mu Lanfeng asked in a slightly tentative tone.

When Mu Lanxue heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, her face full of excitement, and she said loudly: "What's there to be afraid of? I like it very much!"

The words are full of eager anticipation!

"Uh... I just said if there is such a possibility. Haha." Mu Lanfeng looked helpless.

When Mu Lanxue heard what Mu Lanfeng said, the excitement on her face instantly faded a little, and obvious disappointment appeared in her eyes.

She pouted slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "But if that's the case, it would be so boring! I thought there would be an exciting fight!"

Her shoulders drooped, and her originally straight back bent slightly, her disappointed expression was obvious.

Mu Lanfeng looked at Mu Lanxue's expression, feeling helpless and amused. She gently patted Mu Lanxue's shoulder and said, "Third sister, don't expect a fight. Isn't it better to be safe and sound? If there is any danger, it will not be a joke. How can I explain to Auntie if anything happens to you!"

"Hmph, who asked you to explain? I'm your elder sister!" Mu Lanxue raised her chin slightly, raised her voice, and deliberately pronounced the word "sister" heavily, her tone seeming to emphasize her older status.

Taking advantage of the gaps in his conversation with Mu Lanxue, Mu Lanfeng deliberately slowed down his pace and stopped frequently. At the same time, he slightly side-glanced and secretly glanced at the situation behind him with his peripheral vision.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were indeed two suspicious-looking people following not far away.

Mu Lanfeng's heart tightened, but he remained calm and pretended nothing had happened. He continued to chat with Mu Lanxue, but his mind was rapidly thinking of a countermeasure.

"Third sister, which shop do you think we should go to later?" Mu Lanfeng asked casually.

Mu Lanxue didn't notice anything unusual and answered excitedly, "If you ask me, I'd go to that newly opened jewelry store. I heard the beads there are really beautiful."

Mu Lanfeng responded to Mu Lanxue while quietly observing the movements of the two people behind him. The two people did not seem to be in a hurry to approach, but just followed slowly, as if waiting for some opportunity.

Mu Lanfeng thought to herself that she couldn't let them follow her like this. She had to find a way to get rid of them. She quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for an opportunity to exploit.

Mu Lanfeng's mind moved and he came up with an idea.

"Third sister, let's go to the market in front and have a look. Maybe we can find some interesting things." Mu Lanfeng pulled Mu Lanxue and quickened their pace.

Mu Lanxue didn't understand what was going on, but she followed Mu Lanfeng obediently.

As soon as they entered the market, Mu Lanfeng pulled Mu Lanxue through the crowd, using the cover of the crowd to constantly change directions, trying to shake off the pursuers behind them.

After some effort, Mu Lanfeng finally succeeded in getting rid of the two people. He breathed a sigh of relief and took Mu Lanxue to find a quiet place to stop.

"Third sister, we were followed just now." Mu Lanfeng said in a low voice.

When Mu Lanxue heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. "What? Being followed? How come I didn't notice?"
