Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Bai family’s master, Bai Jin, was talking to his son when he heard someone outside, “Master, Young Master, Lady Qin has returned and said she wants to see you two.”
“Lady Qin? Hurry up and invite her in!”
Bai Jinshang and his son looked at each other and immediately went out to welcome her.
MO Ruyue hurried over under the lead of a servant. As soon as she saw the father and son of the Bai family, she said directly, “Master Bai, I need your help with something.”
“Lady Qin, please come in and talk.”
Bai Jinshang had never seen MO Ruyue ask for help. Now that this opportunity had come to him, he naturally had no reason to let it go. He immediately let her go to the study.
As soon as the three of them entered the study and sat down, MO Ruyue briefly explained the whole matter, and then said to Bai Jinshang, “Master Bai, do you have any way to get in touch with the county magistrate and rescue Elder Tian from the prison?
In fact, she could have gone to look for the county magistrate, Chen Luyu,
directly. However, the whole matter felt strange. Perhaps he was drinking right
now, waiting for her to come.
Hence, MO Ruyue would rather give this favor to Bai Jin.shang than give Chen Luyu any chance to take advantage of the situation.
“Lady Qin, don’t worry about this. Elder Tian is highly respected in the city.
There are many people who are willing to help with such a big matter. Just give me some time to make arrangements. After all, the family members of the deceased are foreigners and may not fall for our tricks.”
Bai Jinshang then turned to his son, Bai Shiyuan, and said, “Go and get your uncles here. Just tell them the general idea of the matter. There’s no need to be too detailed.”
Bai Shiyuan nodded to MO Ruyue and turned to leave.
“Lady Qin, that Doctor Xu is also not a local and was brought here by Imperial Doctor Tian. If he is in the vicinity, I can help, but if he is further away, I’m afraid I will have to find someone else.”
He was very clear that MO Ruyue would not just save Imperial Doctor Tian from prison, but would help him to the end, so he took the initiative to give a suggestion.
Of course, MO Ruyue wanted to help Imperial Doctor Tian, but she had to at least settle down the babies before she could be at ease and free to do this.
“Lady Qin, if it wasn’t for you, my wife and daughter’s lives would have been in danger. Shiyuan and I wouldn’t be able to repay this favor in our entire lives, let alone you owing us. As long as there’s anything you need my help with, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
With Bai Jinshangs statement, MO Ruyue did not say anything more. She only nodded slightly, accepting his favor.
Soon, a few men came to Bai Jinshangs study one after another. When they saw MO Ruyue, they all greeted her in a friendly manner.
There was no lack of MO Ruyue’s patients among these people, so she knew that these people were all famous people in the city. With them coming forvvard, they would definitely be able to bail Imperial Doctor Tian out of prison.
Very quickly, there was new news from outside. Imperial Doctor Tian had already been released from prison and had been brought back by the Tian family.
However, even though he was out of prison, his movements were still restricted. There were special bailiffs guarding his house, monitoring everyone who went in and out, and everything.
After MO Ruyue heard this news, she finally felt a little more at ease.
As long as Imperial Doctor Tian could leave that cold and humid environment and have his family to take care of him, even if he couldn’t leave the Tian family and return to Huichun Hall for the time being, at least his body wouldn’t collapse.
“Lady Qin, you can rest assured and go back first. We will continue to investigate Doctor Xu’s matter, and I believe there will be good news soon.” Bai Jinshang knew that MO Ruvue still missed the children at home, so he took the initiative to take on all the work.
“That’s good. I’ll take my leave first. If there’s any news or changes, we’ll have a lot of time to contact each other.”
MO Ruyue was not pretentious and accepted Bai Jinshangs good intentions.
Although she was an expert in finding people, compared to these local tyrants, they had more resources and manpower, which was relatively more efficient.
After such a delay, it was already noon, and she returned home much later than usual.
However, MO Ruyue had come on big black, so he had also galloped at full speed on the return trip, rushing out in time.
Although she hadn’t reached the door, MO Ruyue had already sensed that there were many people in the house, and they all looked like the kind wouldn’t come. Although she didn’t know what had happened, she still whipped her again and rushed to the door in an instant.
“Mother is back! ‘ I
San Bao’s surprised voice came from the courtyard, followed by a series of footsteps. Tang Tang ran out of the courtyard and plunged into MO Ruyue’s arms.
“Tang Tang, what’s wrong with the house?
As MO Ruyue spoke, she saw that the courtyard was filled with people, each of them holding a plate. Although their expressions were ugly, they subconsciously looked away when their eyes met hers.
“Mother, they said that they ate our food and vomited and had diarrhea. They want to ask you for an explanation.”
Tang Tang had said the main point of the matter in one sentence, and MO Ruyue could guess the rest with her brain.
“It’s alright. Mother is back. Don’t be afraid.”
MO Ruyue touched Tang Tangs head, but she shook her head and said, “Mother, I am not afraid. Eldest Brother said that we are upright and not afraid of the shadow. We are also not afraid that they will come to our door for no reason.”
Although she was still trembling a little when she spoke, her eyes and tone were unusually firm. She was no longer the timid person she used to be.
MO Ruyue nodded in relief.
Tang Tang had grown up after all. She was calm and confident, which was what she wanted the most.
“Come, let’s go home.”
She held Tang Tangs hand and walked straight into her own courtyard.
There were more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, including the Qin Village chief and even their own babies. Although they were all dressed very tightly, their small faces were still red from the cold.
MO Ruyue’s heart ached, as if someone had punched her in the chest.
It would have been fine if they had been playing outside with their little faces
red, but they were actually so cold. She couldn’t even stand them being cold
and hungry, let alone seeing them frozen like this. Her face immediately sank.
“It’s the new year. You guys are not at home, but you have the mood to come to
my house to join in the fun. Why? Can’t you big Buddhas be accommodated in
my own courtyard?”
Her words were vicious and cold, causing everyone present to shiver. However, when they thought of the suffering their own family had suffered, they forced themselves to straighten their backs.
“Lady Qin, shouldn’t you ask what we are doing here?”
The village chief walked out from the crowd. His words were like the backbone of the group, making their expressions look more confident.
MO Ruyue turned to look at Da Bao. “Da Bao, tell me. What happened?”
Just now, Tang Tang had only given a brief explanation. There were some details that still needed to be clarified..
