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

96 I’m Being Framed

“Old Master, please take a look at our state of affairs.”

At this moment, Da Bao handed the report to the Old Master who was walking over. Then, he strode over to Mo Ruyue’s side and stood there. Although the other babies were a step slower, they also followed him and stood on both sides.

“Is this Madam the Qin Family’s widow, Mo Ruyue?”

The county magistrate began to question the case according to the official procedure. The first thing he had to do was to confirm Mo Ruyue’s identity.

“It’s me.”

!!

Mo Ruyue replied indifferently. Suddenly, she felt something being stuffed into her palm. When she looked down, she realized that it was Tang Tang who could not help but stuff her hand into her palm.

She closed her fingers and wrapped Tang Tang’s small hand in her palm. She turned back to look at the county magistrate again, waiting for him to continue asking questions.

“Although these two cases are the same matter, there should be a first come, first served basis. So I will first judge the case against you. Does Madam Qin have any objections?”

The county magistrate took the report he had prepared in advance and handed it to the private advisor. If Mo Ruyue had no objections, the private advisor would read out the contents.

“No objections.”

Mo Ruyue’s answer was still as straightforward as ever.

The advisor read out the contents of the letter. It was nothing more than saying that Mo Ruyue had used the name of the Divine Doctor to deceive the seriously ill county magistrate’s wife, causing her illness to worsen and not letting her see anybody else. Now, she was bedridden and suffering from great physical and mental torture every day. Thus, he wanted to sue Mo Ruyue for deceiving the world to steal his reputation, cheating money, and treating human lives like grass.

The Old Master had used the classics as reference to write these contents down for three large pages. In the beginning, he could still shake his head with a proud expression, but later on, he gradually lost the strength to continue and began to show signs of fatigue.

Mo Ruyue was still standing straight and didn’t look tired at all. The five babies did homework with her every morning and night, and there was also medicinal food and game to nourish her body. Not only did she make up for her previous weak foundation, but she also laid a solid foundation again, so she also stood straight and upright.

For them, this amount of time was not even as long as the time they spent standing on the plum blossom dome during the morning class. It was simply a piece of cake.

On the other hand, the commoners outside the court were drowsy after hearing this. Even their feet were sore from standing. They couldn’t help but tilt their left foot to their right foot and try to stand more comfortably.

When the old master finally finished reading, he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, the people outside also heaved a sigh of relief. Some people even took the opportunity to rub their eyes and move their arms and legs before continuing to listen.

“Lady Qin, did you hear the contents of the above complaint? Do you plead guilty to the plaintiff’s accusation?”

After the magistrate finished speaking, he slammed the gavel. It didn’t scare Mo Ruyue, but woke up the drowsy commoners.

“I don’t admit it. Not only did I not worsen Liu Wangshi’s condition, I even made her recover for the time being. In addition, her subsequent relapse wasn’t because of me, but because of another reason.”

Mo Ruyue immediately replied. When she said that there was another reason, she could clearly see the corners of the county magistrate’s eyes twitch again.

In this short period of time, the muscles at the corner of his eyes had twitched frequently. If this continued, it would be very easy for him to get cramps.

She didn’t know why her thoughts had suddenly gone astray, but she pulled them back herself.

“You’re saying that Liu Wangshi is slandering you, and that she’s intentionally blaming you for other people’s doings?”

After the county magistrate retorted, he saw Mo Ruyue’s meaningful gaze and subconsciously looked away.

“Yes, I was framed.”

Mo Ruyue had just finished speaking when Magistrate Liu pressed on and asked, “When I first invited you to treat her, you repeatedly said that your ability was limited and that you were afraid that you would cause problems for her. Was it because you saw that the treatment fee was as much as sixty taels of silver that you became greedy and insisted on treating her despite your poor medical skills?”

“Now that there’s a problem, you’re saying that someone else is framing you. What are your intentions?”

The magistrate had used a few words to make a story 90% true and 10% false, making the lie sound particularly real.

When the surrounding commoners heard this, they nodded in agreement. Back then, they had also heard that this woman, who even Divine Doctor Qin had to bow his head to, didn’t treat outsiders. From that day on, no matter how the fellow villagers begged her, she refused to treat them.

At that time, she thought that it was because capable people were proud and had a temper. Now that she thought about it, perhaps she knew that she was not capable at all, so she simply didn’t want to treat others.

“From what I’ve heard from the magistrate, you’ve already convicted me of a crime? I naturally can’t tell you what illness Liu Wangshi has, but every day you go to the medicine shop to get medicine according to my prescription. I have the prescription here, and you can verify it with the shop assistant. ”

“There’s an old doctor at the scene. I can let him see if there’s anything wrong with my prescription and if it will cause people to be bedridden and unable to see people.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she opened the medicine box she carried with her and took out a stack of papers. It contained all kinds of prescriptions she had written, as well as the diagnoses and adjustments to the prescriptions according to the changes in the condition.

“Is this old doctor a doctor from our County’s Medical Hall? Please forgive this official’s poor eyesight, but I don’t seem to have seen you before. ”

The magistrate deliberately put on a humble and friendly appearance as he asked the old doctor.

“I’m a doctor from Huichun Hall in the neighboring Xu City. I’m not from this city, so it’s normal that you don’t know me.”

His answer immediately caused an uproar among the common people.

The Huichun Hall in the neighboring Xu City was extremely famous. It was said that the old physician in charge of the hall was originally an imperial physician in the palace. Later, because he was old, he was allowed to return to his hometown to retire. After he returned, he opened the Huichun Hall with his little disciple.

The doctor who could enter that clinic had no doubt about his medical skills.

The magistrate had originally wanted to cleverly use this as an excuse to question the old physician’s medical skills, so that the old physician’s words would not be as credible as Mo Ruyue ‘s. But now, it seemed like he had the opposite effect.

His smile froze, but it was too late for him to take back his question. He forced a smile and said, “Since that’s the case, then please take a look and see if this Madam Qin is telling the truth.”

The old physician didn’t say much and took the prescription that Mo Ruyue had given him. He looked up at her after just one look, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

“Old Sir, it’s that one. You’ll know when you see the prescription I’ve written.”

Mo Ruyue seemed to understand his thoughts and nodded.

She had left Liu Wangshi with a last shred of dignity and did not reveal her illness to the public. After all, skin diseases were considered a dirty disease for people of this era. If she revealed it, she would probably not be able to live on.

Mo Ruyue was not a soft-hearted person. As a top assassin, having the heart of a saint was courting death. However, she still had five babies with her and had to do business with the Guanglai building in the county town, so she would not consider going to the extreme until the end.

The old physician nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to read.
