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

181 Getting Back Justice

“There is no need for this, Magistrate. It is a blessing for the people of this city that you can judge the case fairly. I only hope that you will remember today’s matter and not go to the victim’s side to apologize every time after the matter is over.”

After Old Master Du finished speaking, he turned around and left with his wife. This time, the county magistrate didn’t have the face to chase after them.

Fortunately, the crowd had already dispersed by the time the case was closed, so there weren’t many people who saw this scene. Even so, Magistrate Liu’s face was still as red as a pig’s liver, and he almost crushed his teeth.

Mo Ruyue also took the babies out. She deliberately waited for the crowd to disperse before leaving to prevent people from blocking the entrance of the government office again and telling her some nonsense.

!!

Uncle Liu had already gone to the carriage store to get the carriage. Later, he would take the babies home first, and Mo Ruyue would go directly to Huichun Hall to give medical services today.

She was waiting for the imperial carriage not far from the entrance of the government office with her babies when she saw the Du couple walking over.

“Lady Qin, I don’t know if I can give you the honor to come to the teahouse for a chat?”

The one who spoke was Mrs. Du. She had barely spoken in court just now, but now, in front of Mo Ruyue, she took the initiative to speak.

“Mrs. Du, I’ll send the babies home first, then I’ll go back to my clinic. If you have anything to say, you can say it here.”

It was not that Mo Ruyue was cold and did not give people face, especially when the other party was Du Zhongheng’s parents, but she had more important things to do now.

There was always a first come, first served basis for everything. This was a matter of principle.

Old Master Du frowned and seemed to want to say something, but Mrs. Du gently supported him with her arm and closed his mouth. Obviously, Mrs. Du’s words were more effective in the Du family.

“Lady Qin, we husband and wife don’t have any malicious intentions and won’t take up too much of your time. After you send the babies home, it’ll be good if you can spare some time before you go for a consultation.”

Mrs. Du thought that Mo Ruyue was wary of them, so she patiently explained.

With her status, it was already very rare for her to speak to a commoner in such a friendly manner.

Mo Ruyue lowered her head and looked at the babies around her. In the end, she still nodded slightly. Alright, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to wait in the teahouse. I’ll be there in a bit.

Mr. And Mrs. Du then went to the teahouse hand in hand, and Uncle Liu happened to drive the carriage over.

“Lady Qin, you really don’t want to go back with us?”

He asked Mo Ruyue after he helped to carry Si Bao and Tang Tang into the car.

“It’s fine. Uncle Liu, please send them home safely,”

Mo Ruyue shook his head and then said to the babies, Mr. Du will be suspended for a day because of the court hearing today. You guys should stay at home and revise your homework. Don’t slack off because of this.

“Mother, we understand.”

Er Bao took the initiative to nod and express his attitude. The other babies also nodded. In fact, even if Mo Ruyue did not remind them, according to their self-discipline habits, they would not delay serious business just because they wanted to play.

“Lady Qin, when I was driving the carriage back just now, I was stopped by Qin Xu’s family. They said they wanted to take our imperial carriage back. I thought that I would have to get your approval first, so I didn’t agree to their request.”

“But I saw that they are still guarding the road. I’m afraid we will meet them again on the way back. How should we deal with them then? ”

No matter what, the babies of the Qin family’s eldest branch still had the surname Qin. Even if they were separated, their blood relationship could not be severed.

Now that Qin Shi had also received the punishment she deserved, the days of the second household of the Qin family would be even more difficult. If they refused such a small request, it would seem to be too unreasonable.

“Don’t worry about them. None of them are good people. We don’t know what they’ll do if we let them in.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t have a good impression of that family at all. They only had themselves to blame for what happened to them now. It had nothing to do with her. Even if they wanted to act pitiful, they should get lost and sell it to others. She didn’t buy it.

“Lady Qin, I know you don’t have a good impression of that family, but Qin Xu is still the babies’ second uncle in name. He’s just taking a ride. Besides, I’m here to watch over them. They can’t cause any trouble.”

Uncle Liu tried to persuade her again.

This matter had nothing to do with him, but he really treated the babies as his own grandchildren. Anything that would affect their reputation was a big deal to him.

It was true that the Qin family had brought this upon themselves, but after all, there were still Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingfei. What did the adults’ mistakes have to do with the children? Mo Ruyue’s unreasonable behavior would indeed be criticized.

“Mother, now is not the time to be bullied by others. Even if Second Uncle and Second Aunt want to cause trouble, they have to see if I agree.”

Da Bao also opened his mouth from the side. Hearing his words, he seemed to have relented and let the Qin family’s second son hitch a ride. Since he said so, Mo Ruyue also nodded.

“Alright, you’re all grown up now. You can be the head of the Qin family’s first branch. But since you’ve agreed, you have to do it well. Otherwise, don’t talk big next time.”

After settling all the matters, Mo Ruyue watched Uncle Liu drive the carriage away with the babies. She only turned around and walked towards the teahouse after their figures disappeared at the end of the road.

As soon as she stepped into the teahouse, Mo Ruyue was led up to the second floor by a waiter to the door of a private room.

“Lady Qin, Old Master Du and Mrs. Du are waiting for you inside. Please come in.”

Now, there was no one in the county who didn’t know Mo Ruyue, so Mr. And Mrs. Du told them to bring Lady Qin directly to the private room when she arrived, which led to the scene just now.

After the shop assistant knocked on the door and reported, Old Master Du’s voice came from inside. The shop assistant pushed the door open and bowed slightly to Mo Ruyue, then left.

“Lady Qin is here, please sit.”

It was still Mrs. Du who opened her mouth to call Mo Ruyue to sit down. Old Master Du seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, not even lifting his eyelids.

“Mrs. Du, may I know why you two are looking for me?”

Mo Ruyue said directly. She did not come to drink this pot of tea. If it was not for the fact that Du Zhongheng was the babies’ private tutor, she would not have come to this appointment at all.

“It’s like this. We, husband and wife, have been traveling outside. Because of my son’s situation, we were in a difficult situation. Although we were not by his side, we had been paying attention to his news. When we heard that someone was spreading such a bad rumor, we rushed back overnight.”

“Now that the person who spread the rumors has been imprisoned, it can be considered that we have gotten justice for him. However, we are also very curious. Could it be that Lady Qin doesn’t know that if you find my son to be a private school teacher, it will be a heavy obstacle to the future of your babies?”

After all, Mrs. Du came from a prestigious family. At this time, she spoke in a soft and gentle voice without any arrogance. It was obvious that they didn’t ask Mo Ruyue to come here to condemn her, but were really curious about her choice.
