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

160 Hate Born From Love

Now, every time she was on duty, Huichun Hall would be filled with flowers inside and outside. There were also people who sent fruit baskets, cakes, and delicious food. There were also people holding up banners and waving a small flag with Mo Ruyue’s name on it to cheer for her.

This scene reminded her of the fanatical behavior of her fans in her previous life. What she didn’t have the chance to experience back then was now made up for.

Very soon, the magistrate’s reply came. He agreed to all of Mo Ruyue’s conditions, and his conditions were still the same.

First, he had to completely cure his daughter. Second, he had to keep it a secret and not allow any news to leak out.

He would hand over the ores to her that she needed in a secret place, but what the magistrate wanted to know was how she could refine these ores into metal without professional smelting tools.

Regarding this question, Mo Ruyue naturally would not answer truthfully. She only said that she would rent a blacksmith shop to do related things. As for whether the magistrate would believe her or not, she could not care less.

Three days later, Mo Ruyue really got the ore she wanted. After entering the mountain with the people following her, a group of giant wolves suddenly appeared and blocked the people behind Mo Ruyue.

By the time they got rid of the giant wolf, Mo Ruyue had long disappeared. They even wanted to search for traces that she had left behind, but they found that those traces had been completely destroyed.

After the magistrate received the report from his subordinate, he was silent for a long time. In the end, he waved his hand to signal that his subordinate could leave.

That woman called Lady Qin was actually full of secrets, but now it was related to his only daughter’s life and safety, so it was better not to provoke her too much.

She was able to easily get rid of his men’s professional tracking and destroy their traces. This was not something an ordinary person could do. Perhaps after this matter was over, he would have a chance to find out what was going on.

To the magistrate, although he was not very afraid of Mo Ruyue, it was not a wise move to provoke a potential enemy even though he knew that she was a person with hidden abilities.

So he temporarily gave up the plan to find out more about Mo Ruyue. He just continued to pay a lot of attention to her.

After Mo Ruyue got the ore, she immediately entered the tool room in the mushroom house and started to refine the metal to forge the relevant equipment she needed.

It was not that she did not know that the magistrate had his eyes on her, but as long as he did not have any actual evidence, he could not do anything to her.

Besides, it was better to have a powerful friend than an enemy. The magistrate must be clear about this.

The county magistrate, Chen Luyu, had been in a bad mood recently.

Ever since he had taken a fancy to Mo Ruyue, but he couldn’t get what he wanted. Later, he wanted to teach her a lesson, but in the end, he almost embarrassed the couple in court. There had been a dead knot in his heart.

His love for Mo Ruyue had turned into hate. He wanted to have her so much in the past, and now he wanted to destroy her so much.

Now, Mo Ruyue was the most popular topic of discussion in the entire county. She was so famous that even his superior had sent people to inquire about her and wanted to invite her to see a doctor.

It could be said that she had both fame and fortune now, and her limelight was unparalleled. When the county magistrate saw this, his heart felt as if it was being burned by a raging fire or being boiled in hot oil. He was constantly in torment, but there was nothing he could do.

Previously, when Mo Ruyue’s medical skills were doubted, he had secretly added fuel to the fire. The old woman’s surgery incident gave him a glimmer of hope, so he secretly bribed many local ruffians and rogues to incite and spread rumors in the crowd.

When Huichun Hall didn’t come out to refute the rumors, he really thought that Mo Ruyue was going to be defeated this time. He even had a follow-up plan.

As soon as the news of the old woman’s death spread, the “victim” he had arranged would immediately come out to sue Mo Ruyue, accusing her of treating human lives like grass, and that it was the same crime he had tried to force on her last time.

He didn’t believe that she could escape this time!

But the final result still disappointed him. He didn’t expect that a patient who went to Huichun Hall to be hospitalized would witness the old woman being pushed in the courtyard to bask in the sun. He also didn’t expect that Nie Yuansheng would never relent and bite Mo Ruyue regardless of threats and promises.

Now, Mo Ruyue’s reputation had overshadowed Imperial Doctor Tian of Huichun Hall. Although she didn’t go to the hall every day, on the day she gave medical services, the line might not be able to be in line from morning to night.

Just this day’s consultation fee was enough for her to count the money until her hands went soft, and this was not something he wanted to see.

So as Mo Ruyue’s fame grew, she made money as fast as a money-printing machine. The key was that she had more and more connections now. This meant that it would be more difficult for him to touch her in the future.

His anxiety was getting harder and harder to suppress, so much so that he was also emotional when he was being held in court for questioning. Several times, he almost made a muddled judgment on the case impulsively. Fortunately, Constable Liao and the advisor reminded him from the side, so he didn’t make any big mistakes.

It was august, the hottest month of the year. At noon, the chirping of cicadas disturbed people’s minds. The county magistrate took the opportunity to take a nap in his study at noon, but his mind was in a mess and he did not even have a good sleep.

Ever since they lost the lawsuit, Mo Ruyue had not provided his wife with medicine to treat skin diseases. After all, they had never taken the initiative to ask for medicine, so she naturally had no reason to take the initiative to send medicine again.

The magistrate couldn’t bear to lose face, but his wife couldn’t bear the new skin disease caused by the poison. She was wailing day and night, and there was not a single piece of good skin on her body. Not only was she covered in blood, but there was also a foul smell.

Even though Constable Liao had provided the medicine, there was no antidote for it. Therefore, even if the magistrate wanted to save his wife, he had no choice but to beg mo Ruhan.

However, with his self-esteem and pride, how could he lower his head? Not to mention, when Mo Ruyue joined Huichun Hall, he had made it clear that she would not treat patients who did not trust or cooperate. In another way, it also cut off the possibility of the county magistrate looking for her for medical treatment.

The county magistrate’s wife, Du Yueyan, had once begged him to find another doctor to treat her, even if it was just to relieve her pain.

However, her current situation was even more unsightly than before. How could the county magistrate allow such a “family scandal” to be exposed in front of others?

Perhaps, it would be a good choice to let her suddenly die of an “acute illness.”

The thought that came to Magistrate Liu’s mind was like a seed that had taken root and rapidly grew into a towering tree. He could not get rid of it.

“This won’t do. I have to think of a suitable method that can solve my current problem and make that Mo Ruyue pay a painful price! I’m the Lord of a city, but I can’t do anything to a little widow? Where would my dignity and face be then?”

The magistrate sat up and muttered to himself as he messed up his hair. His hair, which had been tied up in a neat bun, was now loose. His eyes were bloodshot, making him look both dejected and crazy.

“Old master, it’s about time for the hall promotion.”
