I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 163

163 Looking for Trouble

But now that the magistrate was silent, he didn’t dare to ask. He lowered his head again and glanced at the magistrate’s reaction from the corner of his eye.

“Grand Master, give the people you found last time a new mission.”

The magistrate’s sudden words startled the advisor, but he immediately reacted after hearing the orders. The magistrate must have thought of another plan.

“You do it. I’ll tell you what the mission is, but you can’t go straight to those people. No matter how many detours you take, even if it’s a little troublesome, you have to do it properly. There can’t be any mistakes in this, understand?”

!!
The county magistrate’s expression was very solemn. The method this time would probably deal a heavy blow to Mo Ruyue. After all, a woman’s reputation and integrity were more important than her life.

Now, if Mo Ruyue, as a widow, had a bad moral conduct, it would be a light punishment to be pointed out by others. If by any chance they added oil to the fire and made things worse, perhaps the Qin Clan would not be able to tolerate her anymore.

The clan’s lynching was much crueler and more cold-blooded than the official’s. The county magistrate himself was a son of the clan, so he was well aware of how strict the clan rules were.

He didn’t believe that Mo Ruyue would be so lucky to escape this time.

“Auntie, your pulse is slightly weak, your complexion is pale, you are tired, short of breath, and lazy to speak. All these symptoms show that you are lacking in qi and blood. This is a common problem for us women. You have to take care of your qi while nourishing your blood.”

“I’ll give you a prescription for medicinal supplements, along with a few herbal dishes. If you persist in recuperating for a period of time, your condition will improve significantly.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke to the woman sitting at the table, her hand was also quickly writing the prescription.

In addition to the prescription, there was also a recipe for food supplements.

After the woman saw it, she clicked her tongue in wonder and said, “Lady Qin, other doctors only give prescriptions after they’re done, but you’re even taking care of what they eat? I’ve never seen such a responsible doctor like you.”

“Auntie, other doctors are also very responsible but this medicinal cuisine is not what they are good at and it is not good to write it for you. You see, which doctor in our Huichun Hall doesn’t treat the patient seriously and responsibly? This is our duty as doctors.”

The woman also agreed, “Yes, yes, yes. Madam Qin, you see what I said just now. It really didn’t sound good. All doctors are responsible for us common people. It’s just that we women are good at cooking, so we made this medicinal cuisine.”

Mo Ruyue saw that she was a little embarrassed, so she tried to comfort her with a few more words and smooth things over. It just so happened that she had finished writing her prescription and recipe, so she handed it to her assistant, Yun Cen, to get the medicine and sent the woman away.

Before the next patient arrived, Mo Ruyue took the cup on the table and drank a mouthful of water. She didn’t even have time to drink a mouthful of water after a whole morning of consultation.

Back then, she had worked so hard because she had to go on a mission. Who would have thought that the hand that used to kill people with a gun would now be doing the work of treating and saving people? The tables had really turned.

Just as she was thinking about it, her vision turned dark and she sat down at the table alone.

Mo Ruyue gathered her thoughts and said, “Where do you feel uncomfortable? Put your wrist on the cushion, I’ll check your pulse.”

“Lady Qin, you’re a Divine Doctor, don’t tell me you don’t know what silk thread diagnosis is?”

That person suddenly dodged to the side when Mo Ruyue’s hand reached out. Then, he asked a question, and his tone seemed to be somewhat impolite.

Mo Ruyue raised her head and glanced at him. He was a rather young man. His long cloth robe was washed clean and he looked like a scholar. However, there was no square scarf on his head, and his hair was tied into a bun.

When he saw Mo Ruyue looking over, he didn’t avoid her gaze, letting her clearly see the disdain in his eyes.

“Men and women should not touch each other. Although you are a doctor, you should also know that it is a big taboo for men and women to keep their distance. But you are so unscrupulous in touching people’s skin, don’t you know shame?”

As soon as he said this, the entire Huichun Hall suddenly quieted down. Everyone turned their heads and looked over in surprise.

It had been a month since Mo Ruyue started giving medical services in Huichun Hall. She had seen hundreds of patients. Even if some people questioned her medical skills, no one had ever accused her of shamelessly taking someone’s pulse with “skin to skin”.

This person opened his mouth and immediately put such a big hat on him. Obviously, he was not here for consultation, but specifically to scold people.

Mo Ruyue raised an eyebrow. The expression on her face was originally just a little indifferent, but this time, there was a faint smile.

“That’s an interesting statement. My two fingers on your wrist are “skin to skin?” If your mother were to hold your arm, what would that be called? Skin to skin kiss?”

“Who is your teacher? Wouldn’t you be so ashamed that you’d commit suicide by banging your head against the wall after hearing you use such foul words?”

Her mouth wasn’t just for show. She definitely wouldn’t be polite to people who were obviously here to stir up trouble.

“You! Not only are you not ashamed, but you are also slandering me? It’s no wonder that you would find such a deviant scum to be your children’s teacher. There’s a reason for it, it’s just like your roots!”

The young man’s face turned red from Mo Ruyue’s rebuking. He stammered for a long time before he managed to say something. It was also this sentence that made Mo Ruyue’s eyes narrow slightly.

“See, you’re feeling guilty, right? I was right!”

When the young man saw that Mo Ruyue actually didn’t refute his words, he suddenly had confidence. He straightened his back and began to scold her contemptuously.

“Do you dare to let everyone know who you’ve hired to be your children’s private tutor? At first, I was wondering if you didn’t know about that person’s misdeeds or if you were pretending not to know. Now I know, you’re the same as that scum!”

“You should let more people see your true face. You’re just a disobedient and lecherous wanderer!”

Before he could finish his sentence, an unusually clear slap was heard, echoing throughout the hall. The man who had spoken was sent flying. Fortunately, he was blocked by the table and chair next to him, so he did not fly too far away.

Even so, the right side of his face was visibly swollen, and his right eye was squeezed until there was only a gap left.

He opened his mouth to speak, but he spat out a mouthful of blood with two teeth in it. This scene stunned everyone.

Mo Ruyue had already stood up, and her pretty face was frosty as she stared at the man on the ground. She had already restrained herself when she attacked just now. If she had used all her strength with her wrist, she would have directly broken his neck.

“You claim to follow the teachings of etiquette, but are the teachings of etiquette the ones that taught you to hurt people with your words? When did you start learning to be indecent without a word? You’ve learned so much that you’ve probably swallowed it all into a dog’s stomach. You have a human mouth, but you can’t speak a single human word. It’s already too good of me to just give you a slap!”
