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

99 An Apology

He looked at her suspiciously, trying to see if there was anything wrong with her eyes, but he didn’t see anything wrong, so he was temporarily relieved. However, he was still secretly on guard against the people who had gathered at the door of the court after a long wait. They were already very impatient after waiting for a long time. Now that it was almost noon, they didn’t even prepare lunch, let alone eat. They were all hungry.

However, everyone wanted to watch the show. After all, Lady Qin was not only a Divine Doctor, but she was also the first person who could make the county magistrate and his wife bow and apologize to her.

Such a lively event would probably never happen again in the future, and it would be a pity to miss it.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the magistrate finally arrived. Behind him were two servants. They were carrying an armchair on which the sickly magistrate’s wife was sitting.

“Eh? Is she really sick? She really can’t get out of bed. ”

“It wasn’t Divine Doctor Qin who caused the trouble, who knows what happened.”

Seeing this, the commoners began to discuss again. They couldn’t see how things were developing, so even if they were discussing, they didn’t dare to take sides.

When Mo Ruyue saw this scene, she was also slightly stunned. The appearance of the county magistrate’s wife was clearly not an act. She was afraid that after she left, she had been plotted against again.

However, she would never say these words in public again. After all, this Liu Wangshi only had herself to blame. It was enough that she had saved her once, how could she dream of a second time?

This was called “one can not live with one’s own sins,” so don’t blame her for standing by and watching.

The armchair was lifted in front of Mo Ruyue and stopped. Liu Wangshi, who had her head lowered and seemed to be unconscious, slowly raised her head and suddenly grinned at Mo Ruyue.

“Lady Qin, Lady Qin, you’re finally here! You’re here to treat me, aren’t you? Quick, where’s Mei Xiang and Chun Yu? Quickly help me to call Lady Qin!”

Liu Wangshi acted as if nothing had happened and immediately greeted Mo Ruyue warmly when she saw her.

The county magistrate had originally thought that the Wangchen tree farm had gone back on its word and wanted to drag him down with it, but he quickly realized why the Wangchen was playing the fool. He immediately put on an expression of grief.

Mo Ruyue didn’t answer. Whatever the county magistrate could think of, she naturally thought of it as well. Playing the fool was such a good excuse to exonerate herself. It had never changed since ancient times.

“Lady Qin, why aren’t you saying anything? Last time, you said that my condition would relapse and asked me to change the medicine. I listened to you, but look, why didn’t it have any effect?”

Liu Wangshi extended her hand to Mo Ruyue, and her body also leaned forward. She suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground.

“Lady Qin, you also saw that after my wife’s illness relapsed, her mood went from ecstasy to wild sorrow. Her entire mood broke down and now she can’t recognize people.”

“She is now sometimes awake and sometimes confused. When she is awake, she is tortured by her illness and will lose her mind to seek justice. When she is confused, she will still remember your advice to treat her illness. I… I have no choice.”

The county magistrate’s explanation was not for Mo Ruyue to hear. He knew very well that with her intelligence, she would not believe him in the first place. These words were for the commoners who were watching. As long as one person believed his words, his goal would be achieved.

And that was to plant the seeds of doubt and sympathy.

As long as they didn’t completely question him, he still had a chance to turn the tables.

Sure enough, there were a few sympathetic voices in the crowd. After all, almost everyone in the city knew that the county magistrate’s wife had been suffering from a serious illness for many years and had always been looking for a doctor. So it was normal for her to overreact after experiencing the blow of her illness.

“Lady Qin.”

The magistrate heard the discussion in the crowd and was secretly happy. However, he still had to continue his act, so he specially called out to Mo Ruyue.

“She’s not in a clear-headed state right now. She doesn’t even know what she’s doing out here. She just wants to see you and her illness will be cured, so…”

He didn’t continue, but threw this topic to Mo Ruyue.

She could take it and say that she forgave Liu Wangshi, and she could even get a good reputation for being generous and kind. Even if the couple successfully passed through the difficulties, there would be no loss at all, and Mo Ruyue would still have to suffer in silence.

If she continued to ask for an apology, she would be regarded as being unreasonable. Although there would still be people who supported her, there would also be people who could not accept her actions and would be disgusted with her. In this way, Mo Ruyue’s reputation would not be so good.

No matter what, Mo Ruyue would be at a disadvantage in the end. When he thought of this, Magistrate Liu’s heart finally felt more balanced.

“Here, I would like to correct one thing. Although I said that this illness would relapse, the illness that Madam has contracted this time has nothing to do with the previous one. I can also provide new evidence to prove this point. I wonder if the county magistrate would allow me to present the evidence. ”

How could Mo Ruyue sit and wait for her to suffer this loss in silence? She was prepared to throw out even more explosive news.

“This… It can’t be. Madam Qin said that her illness would relapse. Why is she not admitting that there is a problem now and pushing it in another direction?”

Magistrate Liu’s heart, which had already been put at ease, was once again raised high. He began to regret speaking out of turn.

If he had just made Liu Wangshi apologize properly, and then added a little bit of self-pity, wouldn’t this matter have passed? Why did she bring up two different cases?

As for why it was different, the magistrate himself knew very well. If Mo Ruyue really wanted to pursue the matter, the situation would definitely be worse than before.

“Magistrate, are you doubting the truth of my words? If I didn’t have any evidence, why would I say it so casually?”

Mo Ruyue said calmly. In order to deal with this kind of situation, she had kept more than one trick up her sleeve.

“You! Sigh, forget it, what’s the point of pursuing this? Since you’ve already found my wife, then as you wish, let her apologize to you and quickly end this matter. ”

Liu Wangshi was also playing dumb. She naturally heard Mo Ruyue’s words and knew that it would not end well if she continued to act. Thus, when the county magistrate came over and gave her a look with his back facing the crowd, she began to apologize according to the plan.

“Lady Qin, Lady Qin, please forgive me. I didn’t listen to you. I threw away the medicine you gave me. I thought I was better, so why did I still take the medicine? All medicine is 30% poisonous. I don’t want to take it anymore.”

“I’m the one who harmed myself. I’m sorry! I’m a bastard! I won’t listen to you! I’m sorry!”

In order to gain the trust of others, Liu Wangshi had even begun to slap herself. Although the strength of her slaps seemed to be raised high, she had actually lightly put them down. The slaps on her face had no strength left, and she had completely put on a show for the commoners to see.
