Chapter 89 - 89 Something Happened
89 Something Happened
Constable Wang looked at Mo Ruyue, who was standing in front of him, and sneered sarcastically. The muscles on his face became even more ferocious because of this smile.
“Am I scared?”
Mo Ruyue said with an indifferent expression.
She was standing right next to Constable Wang with her back straight and her chin slightly raised. She even looked at him with a firm gaze and did not look guilty at all. On the contrary, she made Constable Wang look wretched and evil, not like a good person at all.
“Hmph, alright, let’s go! I’ll see how long you can keep up the act. I don’t believe that the government office’s intimidating rod can’t take care of you!”
Constable Wang had originally planned to wait for Mo Ruyue to come out and give her a few punches and kicks to vent his anger. He did not care about the difference between men and women, old and young. Those who were still disobedient in his hands would be beaten up first.
However, this woman’s gaze was too cold and sharp, giving him an inexplicable sense of fear. His limbs were stiff and motionless uncontrollably, completely ignoring the command from his brain to “punch her.”
This feeling was so strange that he subconsciously chose to follow his first instinct. Anyway, if this woman were to enter the Yamen, he would be able to pry open her iron mouth and steel teeth.
When he thought of this, his mood became much better. He looked at Mo Ruyue with a sinister and proud expression.
“Then wait for me. I have to bring my first aid kit along.” Mo Ruyue snorted coldly.
As she spoke, she turned around and walked into the courtyard. She saw the five babies standing in a row in the courtyard. The younger ones, Tang Tang and Si Bao, were so frightened that their faces were covered in tears, but they did not cry out at all.
The older babies were all full of worry, especially Da Bao, who had his thick brows tightly locked and his lips pursed into a straight line. He looked as if he had a lot of things to say to her.
“Take care of the house with your younger siblings. Don’t think too much about other things. I’ll be back soon.”
Mo Ruyue said lightly. She was not used to comforting others, so she did not know how to comfort children. Towards Da Bao, his maturity often made her forget that he was only an eleven-year-old child. Towards other babies, their behavior was much more in line with their age.
She hesitated for a moment, but still smiled at the babies and said, “Don’t worry, I’m just going to make things clear. ”
It was fine if Mo Ruyue did not persuade her. Once she did, even Er Bao and San Bao’s eyes turned red.
“Uh…”
Mo Ruyue felt her scalp go numb. She really didn’t know how to deal with a group of crying children. In addition, Constable Wang was loudly urging her outside the door. She could only rush into the house to get the medicine box, put on the carriage, and then look at Da Bao again.
“You go, I’ll be at home.”
Da bao nodded at her, and his words made Mo Ruyue feel at ease.
Although this child was young, he could sometimes make people feel at ease.
When Constable Wang saw Mo Ruyue driving the imperial carriage out, he snorted coldly and turned to lead the way. He had also come here with a flail and chain. Magistrate Liu had said that if this woman resisted, he would take her chain back.
However, her cooperation made his flail and chains useless.
Constable Wang would never admit that he had really cowered just now. Anyway, his mission was complete as long as he brought the person back.
“I told you, the Qin Family isn’t a peaceful one. Look at her flamboyant personality. It’d be strange if something didn’t happen!”
“That’s right, she’s always making a ruckus and not submitting to the heavens and the earth. She thought she had some ability and looked down on the villagers, so she ran to treat the county magistrate to make a lot of money, but in the end? If you don’t have the ability, why are you still pretending? Now, something has happened!”
“It’s a good thing she didn’t like us back then. Otherwise, we’d be the ones in trouble now. So, we’ve escaped this calamity?”
The murmurs of the villagers reached her ears. In the eyes of those disdainful or gloating words, Mo Ruyue discovered the figures of Qin Shi and the second branch’s wife.
This mother and daughter-in-law duo squeezed through the crowd. One moment, one side would say a few words, and the other side would echo a few words. They were simply too busy.
After sensing Mo Ruyue’s gaze, Qin Shi raised her voice provocatively and said loudly, “Everyone, did you see that? She’s just a piece of trash. What’s wrong with me kicking her out of the house? If she is still alive, the entire Qin Family will be in trouble today!”
“A jinx will always be a jinx. Sooner or later, she’ll bring harm to people!”
Mo Ruyue was not angry. She just smiled at Qin Shi, put her hand to her mouth, and made a mouth-tearing gesture at her, as if to remind her why her jaw was removed when they separated.
Qin Shi only felt as if that hand had hooked her mouth from a distance and pulled it to one side. The corner of her mouth and face actually had a faint feeling of being torn apart.
She subconsciously wanted to hide in the crowd, but by the time she realized that her actions were a little too guilty, Mo Ruyue had already turned around and driven away with the Imperial carriage.
She didn’t even refute the villagers ‘comments, which was not in line with her usual style. It also seemed to confirm that the rumors were true.
Just as the villagers were discussing animatedly, San Bao suddenly rushed out of the courtyard and shouted to the crowd, “Don’t you dare bully my mother!”
“Tsk, what does a little kid know! Your mother was captured by the government, who bullied her?”
One person could not help but mock when he saw San Bao’s angry look.
“Didn’t my mother… She already saved that grandmother!”
San Bao did not know how to say the word ‘quack’, so she just brushed it off. However, she cleverly caught the main point and pointed out that Mo Ruyue had really saved the patient.
“Then it’s just a blind cat that ran into a dead rat. Otherwise, the county magistrate wouldn’t slander your mother.”
The man was stunned, and immediately became angry from embarrassment. He was a seven-foot man, how could he be taught a lesson by a baby?
“It’s a fact that my mother saved someone. Otherwise, why would you bring things to her every day to beg her to save someone? At that time, my mother also said that her ability was limited and she couldn’t treat illnesses. What did you say at that time, and what are your faces now?”
No one knew when Da Bao had come out. When he saw San Bao trembling with anger, he pressed his hand on her shoulder and held it tightly as if he was giving her comfort and strength.
At the same time, his mouth was not idle. Furthermore, his ability to organize his words was obviously much better than San Bao’s. He spoke with reason and evidence. The villagers who were making sarcastic remarks suddenly had a change in expression.
“Yes, the county magistrate had the Yamen runners come to call my mother away, but has the crime been set? All the criminals in the county town are walking the streets in shackles and shackles. My mother followed them to answer, but you have already convicted her before she has even been charged. If my mother’s innocence is proven in the future, will you all come to apologize?”
Da Bao’s words came one after another. In the face of the villagers who were a few times older than him and had a large number of people, he did not appear to be afraid at all. It was his aura that shocked everyone. For a moment, they did not know what to say. They were all very confused. Was this kid also this tough in the past? Why did he look like he was quite similar to Mo Ruyue?
