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

75 Seeing A Doctor at the County Magistrate’s Fairty

“I’ll wait for Lady Qin here. I brought her out, so I have to bring her back safely. ”

Uncle Liu shook his head as if he did not understand what Constable Liao was saying.

“It’s fine, Uncle Liu. You should go and have a good rest. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to finish my work in a short time. It’s inevitable that people will notice a carriage like this parked in front of the government office.”

Mo Ruyue also took the initiative to persuade him.

She didn’t care about getting into a conflict with these bailiffs and constables because she had the means and capital to protect herself. But for Uncle Liu, as an ordinary citizen, if he offended someone in the guise of an official, he would usually not have a good ending.

If it was someone as arrogant and domineering as Constable Wang, it would still be fine if he did it openly. However, to someone as scheming as Constable Liao, it was impossible to guard against underhanded means. Uncle Liu was even less of a match for him.

If it was someone else, Mo Ruyue would not care about this kind of death-seeking behavior at all, but Uncle Liu was always supportive of her. Not only did she want to accept this kind of intention, but she also wanted to repay it. This was her clear nature.

After Mo Ruyue said this, Uncle Liu saw her nod slightly at him and didn’t say anything more.

Constable Liao had originally wanted to personally send Uncle Liu over, but he did not expect Mo Ruyue to speak again, “Big Brother Constable, you can just send a bailiff to bring uncle over. Since you brought me here, then you can bring me over personally. You can also give me a brief introduction of the situation.”

Mo Ruyue’s intention to protect him was very obvious. She did not want Uncle Liu and Constable Liao to be alone. She wanted to prevent the honest Uncle Liu from saying anything wrong and further offending this person.

Constable Liao took a deep look at Mo Ruyue. He felt that this woman was not as simple as she seemed. However, in the end, he still followed Mo Ruyue’s suggestion and sent a bailiff to bring uncle Liu to the horse carriage. As for the cost of opening a stall to rest, he would naturally report it to the advisor later.

Mo Ruyue watched Uncle Liu leave with her own eyes, then turned around and followed Constable Liao into the county office.

In front of her was the place where the magistrate would raise his head and ask questions. The interior was exactly the same as in the movies she had occasionally glanced at in her previous life. After exiting from the small door behind the screen, she walked through a very short and narrow path. After passing through a moon door, she arrived at the backyard of the government office.

This was the residence of the county magistrate’s family, and also her final destination for the day.

“Lady Qin, the study is in front. Master is waiting for you there.”

Constable Liao, who was leading the way, turned around and said this while he continued to move forward.

“Okay, may I ask who the patient is …”

Mo Ruyue tried to ask, but she didn’t have any hope of getting anything out of him.

“Master will tell you in detail later. I’m not too sure about the specific situation.”

Just as she had expected, Constable Liao’s words were watertight, and he did not give her any information to make a judgment.

The courtyard at the back wasn’t very big, so they arrived at the county magistrate’s study shortly.

“Master, I’ve brought lady Qin.”

The door of the study was left ajar. Instead of pushing the door open, Constable Liao knocked on the door and said, “Master, I’ve brought lady Qin to you.”

“Come in,”

Constable Liao pushed the door open only after the county magistrate had spoken. He raised his hand at Mo Ruyue, signaling for her to enter.

Mo Ruyue stepped through the door but didn’t go inside. Instead, he stopped two steps in.

The door of the study was not closed. Constable Liao only took three big steps back, but he was still standing within her sight.

Mo Ruyue caught a glimpse of Constable Liao’s actions from the corner of her eye and could not help but raise her eyebrows. This man was indeed thoughtful and had considered everything.

As he was just a Constable now, he could not cause any trouble. But if he could one day rise to the top, the imperial court would be the place where he could turn his hands and cause trouble.

However, such an opportunity would not come by, unless he used the county magistrate to curry favor with some big shot. Otherwise, every time he climbed up by stepping on his superior, it would probably take twenty to thirty years to climb to a position that could stir up a storm, even with luck.

Mo Ruyue lowered her eyes and retracted her attention from Constable Liao. She had to deal with the magistrate now, not the constables beside him.

The county magistrate’s eyes were fixed on Mo Ruyue the moment she entered the room.

The woman in front of him was graceful, but not just delicate and weak. She had a bit of flexibility like cattail grass, but between her eyebrows was the cold and proud color of wintersweet. That contradictory feeling of being delicate, tough, cold and charming suddenly caught his eyes firmly.

“This humble woman Qin Shi greets the eldest master.”

Mo Ruyue only raised her eyes for a glance before looking down again. Her brows unconsciously furrowed slightly.

The county magistrate’s fixed gaze instantly made her alert. As expected, trouble came one after another, and she was afraid that she had already provoked the more troublesome ones.

This woman was not only beautiful and had an outstanding temperament, but her voice was also pleasant to the ears. It was a pity that she had become a widow at such a young age.

Magistrate Liu thought it was a pity, but he still warmly greeted, “Lady Qin, I’ve finally waited for you to come!”

He got up and walked over to Mo Ruyue. He reached out his hands as if he wanted to grab her hands.

Although Mo Ruyue was standing still, she had already started to gather strength in her wrist. She was prepared to let this man have a taste of her hand if he dared to touch her.

When the magistrate was only two steps away from her, his hand suddenly moved down towards the medicine box on Mo Ruyue’s shoulder.

“Lady Qin, it must be tiring to carry such a big medicine box. Can I help you carry it?”

Only then did Mo Ruyue turn her body slightly to avoid his hand. She said indifferently, “The medicine box isn’t heavy, so there’s no need for the old master to be modest. I just don’t know why you’re looking for me. Please take me to see the patient so that I can make a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan as soon as possible. ”

Her refusal made county magistrate’s face red. He felt a faint sense of anger from embarrassment. Fortunately, they were in the study room. Even if Constable Liao was standing outside the door, he was a few steps away and couldn’t hear anything inside.

“This official called you over for my wife’s strange illness. She has been suffering from a strange illness for so many years and is in pain every day. This official has searched for famous doctors for her but there is still no improvement. I am really ashamed of being a husband.”

The magistrate said this on purpose. As he spoke, he carefully observed Mo Ruyue’s reaction.

Mo Ruyue had long raised her guard against him in her heart. How could she be easily shaken by the image of a good husband that he had created?

She had seen all kinds of people, and just by looking at that person’s eyes, she could roughly guess what kind of person he was. The old saying goes true, “The eyes are the window to the soul”.
