Chapter 72

72 In The End, He Still Came

“If you have the time to gossip, it is better to speed up. Master is still waiting for us to invite the person back and Madam is still waiting for treatment. You can talk now, but if you delay your work, I’ll see how you can be happy. ”

His long string of words not only stunned Constable Wang but also the other two constables. They had only just realized that Constable Liao could have such a glib tongue. Did that mean that his usual reticence meant that he disdained to talk to them?

Constable Liao did not care about how his three comrades looked at him. He just whipped his horse, and it neighed and sped up immediately, leaving the other horse and carriage behind.

How could Constable Wang let Constable Liao beat him to it? He immediately whipped his horse and urged it to catch up.

!!

Soon, two horses and a carriage arrived at Qin Village. However, they didn’t know where Mo Ruyue lived, so they stopped a random person at the village entrance to ask for directions. Then, they went straight to the Qin Family’s new residence.

The news that the county’s old officials had come to find Mo Ruyue spread throughout the entire village in an instant. Everyone was guessing the reason. After thinking about it, it might be because of her medical skills.

Recently, there had been an endless stream of people coming from nearby villages to seek medical treatment. Basically, they were all refused entry. Mo Ruyue even locked the door and refused to go out no matter how loudly the people shouted outside.

Now that all the officials in the city had come, the villagers were all discussing that Mo Ruyue would not dare to not open the door this time. If she offended the people in the village and the neighboring villages, she could still move into the city with her children to hide from leisure, but if she offended the officials in the city, where could she hide?

Could she change to another city to stay in?

At this time, Mo Ruyue was taking the babies to deal with the herbs in the courtyard. They had picked these herbs when she brought them into the mountains for the “teaching test” last time. At that time, it was mainly to teach Tangtang how to distinguish the herbs, and the other babies had also followed along to listen.

After that, the herbs were collected and left to dry. Ever since people started to come to her house to seek treatment, Mo Ruyue found it annoying and locked the door from the inside. She simply didn’t leave the house.

After all, there was enough rice at home, and there was a vegetable field in the house. It was possible to live a few days of self-sufficiency and stay behind closed doors.

Today’s weather was pretty good, so Mo Ruyue thought of teaching them how to handle the herbs. If they wanted to use any herbs in the future, they could go into the mountains to pick them and make them themselves. It was much cheaper and more reassuring than buying them from the medicine shops outside.

Just as they were teaching the five of them, there was a knock on the door.

For the past two days, even the babies were numb to knocking on the door, so no one paid attention to it. Anyway, the people outside the door would leave when they were tired of knocking and shouting. They just had to treat it as the chirping of the chickens and ducks in the yard.

But this time, after a short knock on the door, a rather deep voice came from outside the door, “Qin family’s lady, we are from the county city. We are under the orders of the county magistrate to invite you into the city to chat.”

“In the end, he still came.”

Mo Ruyue seemed to have expected this. She raised her head to look at the tightly closed door, then lowered her head as if nothing had happened, and continued to demonstrate how to deal with the medicinal herbs to her babies.

“Mother, aren’t you going to open the door?”

Da Bao asked hesitantly. Er Bao, who was beside him, immediately nodded his head in agreement.

The younger children didn’t know what the people sent by the county magistrate represented, but the two of them knew. It was fine if their mother ignored ordinary people, but she also had the same attitude toward the people sent by the officials in the city …

Wasn’t her mother afraid of offending the officials?

Mo Ruyue smiled and didn’t say anything. She just patiently pointed out the mistakes for Tang Tang.

The person speaking outside the door was clearly very patient and did not rush to knock again. Instead, after a while, another somewhat impatient voice rang out.

“Qin family’s lady, don’t be so arrogant. Our master wants to see you, that’s a blessing for you! Don’t give me face… Wuwu!”

The man was obviously going to say something ruthless, but his mouth was covered by someone halfway through his words. Then, the deep and steady voice from before sounded again.

“Madam Qin, just now my brother was a bit impatient and his attitude wasn’t very good. Don’t take it to heart. Our master has a favor to ask of you, and before he left, he repeatedly told us that we must invite you over and that you must not be neglected. ”

Mo Ruyue had originally decided not to open the door after hearing the second person’s words.

She had never been one to be taken by force, and even if she were to be taken by force, she would do so depending on the situation.

So what if the county magistrate had sent someone to invite her? She used to be the world’s top assassin. What kind of important people in the political world had she not seen? A small rank nine official was nothing in her eyes.

However, after listening to the first person’s words, Mo Ruyue realized that the person who had the right to speak should be this person. He should also be the one who was entrusted with the important task.

Whether he was a constable or a bailiff, as long as he was wearing the official uniform, he was naturally one rank higher than the common people. He should have been the object of people’s fawning in the past. But now, he could lower his status and say such words. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

Considering that she still had to bring her baby into the city in the future, Mo Ruyue didn’t want to be too extreme unless it was absolutely necessary. So after hearing this, she got up and opened the door.

The one standing outside the door was none other than Constable Liao. Not far behind him was Constable Wang, who had been pulled aside by two other constables. His mouth had been covered initially, but it was released when the door opened.

Constable Liao did not expect such a young woman to open the door. He had heard that she was the mother of five babies, and the oldest one was already 11. He had thought that she would be a middle-aged woman.

Although that woman had a beautiful face, her expression was indifferent, with a natural sense of alienation and coldness. However, it was different from the cold personality of ordinary women. Instead, she gave him a very familiar and dangerous feeling.

It had to be said that Constable Liao’s intuition was very accurate. Mo Ruyue’s coldness was the murderous aura of a top assassin. She deliberately released such an aura so that the person who spoke without thinking would not think that she opened the door because she was afraid of them.

“Big Brother Constable, I’m just a mountain woman who knows nothing. Although I know a little about herbs, I don’t have any brilliant medical skills. I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong person. Please leave.”

Seeing that the constable in front of him had been very polite, Mo Ruyue also politely refused him.

“Madam Qin, why are you so modest? Since you can cure the person Divine Doctor Qin declared to be almost dead, then you must be a person with true ability. Our master is really sincere in asking for your help.

Constable Liao was not annoyed by her rejection. Instead, he said in a serious and sincere tone, “As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story Pagoda. The Qin family’s lady is kind to others, but isn’t it also for your own convenience and to form a good relationship?”

“Liao, why are you wasting your breath on her?”
