I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 182

182 The Beggar’s Sect’s Boss Is Poisoned

“This is the choice of my babies. Of course, I have already told them the consequences of this. They still chose Mr. Du. I naturally have to respect it.”

Mo Ruyue’s reason made the Du couple look at each other with a trace of surprise in their eyes.

“Madam Qin, I see that your children are indeed all smart and quick-witted, but they are so young, how can they really realize whether their current decision is right or not?”

Mrs. Du remembered that her son had shown extraordinary intelligence and wisdom since he was young, but he had not been able to help him enter the official career and achieve success.

!!
It was because she and Old Master Du had indulged him too much that he had spoken so arrogantly at Jinbang High School at such a young age and ended up being spurned by all the students in the world.

She looked at Mo Ruyue as if she was looking at herself in the past, so she didn’t want anyone to repeat the same mistakes.

“Mrs. Du, although my babies are not old, they can understand the logic clearly. I’ve asked them about their plans for the future and told them about the pros and cons. Since they still made the same choice, I naturally have to respect it.”

Mo Ruyue frowned. Originally, she didn’t need to explain to anyone when she did things. This was also the last thing she would do for Du Zhongheng’s sake.

If this couple continued to talk nonsense, she wouldn’t care who they were and would just turn hostile and leave.

The Du couple were both smart people. They had long noticed that Mo Ruyue had already suppressed her temper and was talking to them. They couldn’t help but be more interested in her.

It wasn’t that this Lady Qin didn’t see the county magistrate’s respectful appearance just now. According to her shrewdness, she should have guessed that the husband and wife’s background was not trivial. She had to play tough.

Previously, when they had just returned from outside because of their son’s matter, they had inquired about Lady Qin. Her various “deeds” were indeed very eye-catching. If it was inferred this way, her rebelliousness and deviant ways were probably not inferior to their son.

“Lady Qin, I hope you don’t mind. We also rushed back from outside because of Heng’er’s matter. We suddenly heard that someone actually hired him as a private school teacher, so we were a little curious about you.”

“Ever since Heng’er’s incident, his teacher and classmates cut off all ties with him, and everyone avoided him like a snake or scorpion. So, Madam Qin, your employment this time allowed him to move on. We are only grateful to you and have no other thoughts.”

Although Mo Ruyue’s attitude wasn’t respectful, Mrs. Du obviously had a good impression of her. But Old Master Du still had that lukewarm expression, as if he didn’t agree with what Mrs. Du said.

“It was also recommended by Elder Tian. He said that Mr. Du’s talent is unparalleled in the world, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. I also fully understood it and asked the babies’ opinions before making a decision.”

“As long as they’ve decided, I have no objections.”

Mo Ruyue paused for a moment and continued, “If you’re just here to express your gratitude or to express your curiosity, then I appreciate your kind intentions. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly and turned to leave.

The Du couple didn’t stop her and just watched her walk out of the private room. Mrs. Du even walked to the window and watched Mo Ruyue walk away.

“You are interested in such a widow. Could it be that you want her to have a relationship with our Heng’er?”

Old Master Du was interrupted by Mrs. Du.

“Master, you’re thinking too much. No matter how capable this woman is, her status is completely different from our Heng’er’s. Not to mention, she has five other children with her. How can I let such a woman enter my Du family? ”

Mrs. Du smiled and shook her head. Her smile was as gentle and friendly as before, full of friendliness.

“What about your attitude towards her just now?”

Old Master Du asked doubtfully. He had thought that his wife had taken a fancy to the widow. But to be honest, any prominent family in the capital had already listed the Du family as a target to reject marriage. Du Zhongheng’s marriage path was indeed not easy to walk.

“I just feel that this woman is very interesting. Perhaps she will bring a different change to Heng ‘er.”

After Mrs. Du finished speaking, Old Master Du revealed a look of realization and nodded. “It is you who is thoughtful. Just one sentence and Heng’er has to pay such a heavy price. How can I be willing to accept this?”

The couple secretly had ideas about Mo Ruyue, but they still didn’t know what kind of person they had their eyes on.

Mo Ruyue returned to Huichun Hall as planned. Although it was only half a day, there were still many people who came to see her.

Now, she was the golden signboard of Huichun Hall, and her appeal was even above Imperial Doctor Tian.

Just as she started to look at the first patient, a dirty little beggar suddenly ran in and looked around. When he saw Mo Ruyue, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Lady Qin, please save us. Our boss is poisoned. If you don’t save him, he’ll be dead!”

The little beggar was a member of the beggar sect in the city. Huichun Hall never received patients regardless of their figure or wealth, so Mo Ruyue had also treated the beggars and the poor. She had not taken a single cent for the consultation or medical fees.

Later, the boss of the beggar’s sect came to their door and promised in public that if anyone in this city dared to cause trouble in Huichun Hall in the future, they would go against all the people of the beggar’s sect. In the future, the beggar’s sect would be responsible for protecting Huichun Hall.

Mo Ruyue was happy to hear this news. The beggar sect could be said to be the number one sect in the world. Which city would not have the shadow of beggars?

If the magistrate of a city was said to be the head on the surface, then the local tyrant in the dark must be the beggar’s sect. This was a fact that all the great clans had tacitly acknowledged.

Now that he heard that the beggar sect’s boss had been poisoned, perhaps Mo Ruyue was used to dealing with schemes and plots, but her first reaction when she heard the news was that things were definitely not that simple.

“What happened? Tell me slowly.”

Mo Ruyue asked as she continued to see her patient.

Our boss said yesterday that he wanted to hunt some wild game for a sumptuous meal. This morning, he brought us brothers into the mountains. We don’t know what happened, but when we came back, we were all injured.

“Ask them and tell them that they encountered a wolf and got scratched by the wolf. But no matter how we look at it, the marks don’t look like they were scratched by the wolf’s claws. Besides, Boss’s wound is black, and there’s a fishy smell. Now, his lips are purple. Doesn’t that mean he’s poisoned?”

“I was in a hurry, so I came to find you. Lady Qin, please save our boss!”

The little beggar said as he wiped his tears and knelt down in front of M Ruyue.

“Get up! There’s gold beneath a man’s knees, don’t kneel for no reason.”
