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

97 Is It All A Misunderstanding?

After the time for two incense sticks to burn, he finished reading all the prescriptions. Then he raised his head and said to the county magistrate, “Reporting to the County Magistrate, this old man has carefully looked through all the prescriptions, medical records, and adjusted prescriptions. This old man can only say that this Lady Qin’s medical skills are definitely above this old man’s. Her clever use of medicine has also opened this old man’s eyes, and even made this old man feel enlightened.”

“These prescriptions are good medicine for treating illnesses. They definitely won’t lead to any serious illnesses that can’t be seen by others or the consequences of being bedridden. This… This is a wonderful prescription!”

He had always been expressionless and had never given any unfavorable testimony to Mo Ruyue just because of the county magistrate’s hints. But now, his droopy eyelids had lifted, and his eyes that had been dim-sighted from old age suddenly lit up. He stared at Mo Ruyue with bright eyes as if he had found some treasure.

As soon as Mo Ruyue saw him like this, he knew that he had another problem. Her prescription was naturally excellent. Only a real doctor could see this. This old doctor must also be an expert in medicine.

“Are you sure?”

!!

The county magistrate’s voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. He had already expected this outcome. He had already prepared a physician. When the time came, everything would go according to his wishes. Mo Ruyue would never have a chance to turn things around.

Who would have thought that her children would suddenly appear? Not only did they allow her to escape from the threatening rod, but they also brought an old physician with them. And it just so happened that he was a physician from Xu City’s Huichun Hall. The words he said were simply like a death-exemption medallion for Mo Ruyue.

No, it was not just that. This was equivalent to confirming Mo Ruyue’s reputation as a Divine Doctor. What was even more terrible was that his original revenge plan not only failed, but he also had to get his wife involved.

Therefore, the magistrate couldn’t care about anything else. He hinted to the old doctor with a hidden threat that even if he hesitated, he would immediately make a big deal out of it.

“Old Master, although this old man’s medical skills are not high, but I think I still have the medical virtue and moral character. If she is really a deceitful person, my apricot forest will not tolerate her. How can this old man be willing to join in the dirty work?”

The old doctor’s righteous words completely shattered the magistrate’s beautiful dream. What he should be having a headache over now was how to protect his wife.

The county magistrate didn’t speak for a long time, but Mo Ruyue couldn’t let him get away with it. He said slowly, “Old Master, now that it has been proven that my prescription will not only not cause a serious illness, but it is also a good way to cure it. Then, I would like to ask old master, was the change in your wife’s condition because of me? Is her accusation against me valid? How will you compensate for the damage to my reputation?”

“Most importantly, how are you going to deal with her slander?”

The first few questions were easy to explain, but the last one was tricky. The county magistrate was most afraid of Mo Ruyue mentioning this, but she had to bring it up in public.

“This official has already investigated all of this. It is a misunderstanding. Lady Qin’s medical skills are indeed irrefutable and she is worthy of the word Divine Doctor. I was wrong before and misunderstood Lady Qin, so I’m here to apologize to you. ”

Although the magistrate was lecherous and had many flaws, he was not a fat and stupid person. At the very least, his brain worked quickly and he quickly thought of an excuse.

He focused on misunderstanding, not investigating, and misunderstanding the slander, and then quickly bowed his head and apologized to a commoner with the dignity of a County Lord. If she were really a commoner, she might have yielded to him.

What else?

He had sought justice for himself and allowed the county magistrate’s wife to be convicted and punished. Now that he had completely offended the county magistrate, what good days would he have in the future?

However, Mo Ruyue was not an ordinary commoner. The words’ swallow your anger’ did not exist in her dictionary.

She had not revealed Liu Wangshi’s illness earlier because she did not want to use such a method to attack a woman. However, that did not mean that she would not retaliate against the woman’s attempt to frame her.

“In the report that Old Master read out just now, I listed out more than a dozen crimes, such as being disrespectful, using medicine without discussing with him, changing the prescription without his consent, pretending to cure him and making him ecstatic, causing his illness to worsen and making him angry and sad, resulting in him being bedridden. So it was all a misunderstanding.”

Mo Ruyue took out a few lines from the accusation. Not only did she have a photographic memory, but she could also remember most of the things she had heard once. Every time she mentioned a line, the county magistrate’s fingers tightened. In the end, he even squeezed the brush in his hand until it cracked.

As the head of a County, he had apologized to her so readily so that she would shut up and let this matter pass. However, this woman still dared to ask him about it. Did she really want to force him to punish his wife?

“Yes, of course, we have to listen to the doctor when treating illnesses. If we listen to the patient, we can just prescribe the medicine ourselves. Why do we need a doctor?”

“But didn’t Lady Qin say before that the illness could relapse? Then it repeated after that, didn’t it make the Madam angry and sick again? That makes sense.”

“Aiya, she also made it clear in advance. If you can’t accept it, then don’t look for her for treatment. I don’t think this matter can be blamed on Lady Qin.”

“Shh! You guys keep your voices down, aren’t you afraid of offending the old master?”

Whispers could be heard continuously. There were more people who supported Mo Ruyue, but there were also people who deliberately said unreasonable things to please the county magistrate.

“Then, what does Madam Qin want me to do? Do I have to kneel down and apologize to you?”

The county magistrate stood up as he spoke. He was about to go around the case and kneel down to apologize to Mo Ruyue, but he was stopped by the private advisor beside him.

“You can’t do this, Old Master! You kneel to the heavens and earth, to your parents, to the Emperor, and to your superior. How can you… kneel!”

As he blocked the magistrate, he turned back to look at Mo Ruyue and shouted, “Lady Qin, the old master has already cleared your name and apologized sincerely. Why are you still so unforgiving? It’s not a life and death feud, it’s just a misunderstanding. Why can’t you get over it?”

“Oh? In that case, I’ve been framed as standing in this court, and now it’s actually me who’s not letting it go.”

When Mo Ruyue spoke, the crowd of onlookers outside was already completely silent. They were even staring at her with their mouths agape.

Although this woman had indeed been wronged, the county magistrate had already cleared her name and apologized. If he really couldn’t do it, he would compensate her with some silver. However, if she were to force the old master to kneel and apologize to her like this, wouldn’t she be thoroughly offending the person?

A commoner fighting with the government like this, she must be tired of living!

This sudden change also frightened the babies. They didn’t have much contact with people and only knew that the old master in front of them was much more powerful than their Qin Family Village Chief. Did their mother dare to talk back to such an old master?
