Chapter 87

87 Don’t Mess With The People You Shouldn’t Mess With

His words didn’t hide his desire for Mo Ruyue at all, and his gaze even became more naked.

“I can guarantee that as long as you submit to me, you’ll be able to live a good life. You won’t have to worry about your livelihood for the rest of your life. However, I have a condition.”

When the magistrate saw that Mo Ruyue didn’t berate him for his rudeness and instead seemed to be seriously considering his suggestion, he immediately became smug. He knew that no woman would be able to resist the temptation of becoming the wife of an official.

Even if she pretended to be cold and aloof, so what? wasn’t she still moved by his suggestion now? All that was left was the last bit of fire?

So he became more and more complacent. Before he heard Mo Ruyue’s reply, he had already stated his conditions.

!!

“Although this master loves you, I don’t want to accept your few babies because of this. This old master had also sent people to investigate before, you are only the second wife of the late husband, not the biological mother of a few children. ”

“That’s why I’m willing to help you get rid of those troubles. Of course, if you really feel that you can’t let go, I’ll send people to find a few good families so that they don’t have to worry about food and clothes in the future. How about that?”

As the county magistrate spoke, he took another step closer to Mo Ruyue. This time, he saw that she didn’t back away and thought that she had really been moved by his words. She didn’t even put up a show of resistance. He was instantly overjoyed.

He couldn’t care less that it was broad daylight right now. Relying on his lust, he reached out and touched Mo Ruyue’s face.

At this time, Mo Ruyue suddenly smiled. That smile made the frost on her face disappear and two small dimples appeared on the side of her lips. Her originally beautiful face suddenly became sweet and moving. Her smile was full of moving eyes, almost seducing the county magistrate’s soul.

He couldn’t help but smile as if his hand had already touched Mo Ruyue’s cheek. However, in the next second, his eyes blurred and a shadow suddenly flashed past. Then, his hand seemed to be tightly clamped by something. With just a slight twist, a sharp pain made him open his mouth and want to cry out in pain.

However, before he could make a sound, something brushed past his chin. With a soft crack, his chin was dislocated. The painful cry was stuck in his throat and turned into a muffled groan.

The woman, who was smiling like a flower just now, did not lose her smile, but her eyes were cold, like a lake covered with broken ice, revealing a bone-chilling cold.

It was only then that Magistrate Liu realized that Mo Ruyue was not a weak woman. The hand that was gripping his wrist seemed to be holding it easily, but in reality, it was about to crush his wrist.

“Don’t think that just because you’re the county magistrate, I won’t dare to touch you. So what if I’m a widow? So what if I’m living with the five babies? I’ve earned money with my own hands. Is it possible that I can only survive by relying on you? Who gave you such confidence?”

“To think that you’re still a scholar. In the rules of etiquette, the first taboo between men and women is to be wary of each other. Molesting a woman in broad daylight, not only insulting her verbally, but also trying to get physical with her. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re wearing a black veil?”

Mo Ruyue’s words made Magistrate Liu’s face turn green and white, then red as if it was about to bleed.

It was not only because he was scolded by a woman, but also because of the severe pain from his wrist and dislocated chin. His life had almost been smooth sailing. When he was young, his family was quite well-off, supporting him all the way to high school. In the end, he obtained a famous official position. Although the rank was not high, at least he managed a territory and received a salary from the court.

In addition, he had beautiful wives and concubines, a group of servants, and even his subordinates always wanted to curry favor with him. When had he ever been reprimanded in front of others, and when had he ever suffered such physical pain?

Now that things had come to this, he couldn’t care about Mo Ruyue’s feelings. He only wanted to get out of his current predicament and make plans.

Mo Ruyue had dislocated the county magistrate’s jaw because she was afraid that his cries of pain would attract the servants in the residence. If that was the case, she wouldn’t be able to scold him to her heart’s content, and wouldn’t that be very aggrieving?

Now that she was done with her scolding, she wanted to hear the magistrate’s response, so she said to him, “I’ll put your chin back in. If you scream, I’ll take it off again. Let’s see if your voice is faster or my hands are faster.”

The magistrate nodded his head repeatedly. Every movement would pull at his dislocated jaw, causing the pain to become even more intense and unbearable. This also caused his expression to become even more twisted.

Mo Ruyue saw him nod, and then lifted it up. With another “crack”, the county magistrate’s jaw was restored to its original position.

Tears immediately welled up in his eyes. It took him a long time to wipe away the pain. He looked at Mo Ruyue with a dark gaze and some deep fear.

“I hope you remember this lesson. Don’t think about things you shouldn’t. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting you know what it means to not mess with people you shouldn’t mess with, and what it means to live a life worse than death.”

After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, he shook off Magistrate Liu’s wrist. He picked up a large leaf and wiped his hand as if it was stained with something dirty.

Her words and actions once again provoked the magistrate, and he instantly forgot about the pain he had just suffered. He coldly threatened, “Lady Qin, you actually dare to threaten this official? I’m telling you, don’t be too arrogant. You must know that if I really want to punish you, it’s easier than crushing an ant!”

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt something enter his mouth. Before he could react, the thing had already slid down his tongue into his throat.

The magistrate covered his throat in fear and tried to dig out the thing he had just swallowed. In the end, he only vomited a pile of undigested food. He even vomited bile. He didn’t know if he had vomited it out.

“You… What did you feed me?”

The county Magistrate no longer had the elegant and graceful appearance he had put on before. Even his neatly tied bun was a little loose. A few strands of hair fell down, making him look very disheveled.

“I warned you before, but you didn’t believe me. I’ll let you have a taste of what it means to ask for trouble.”

“This is just a small lesson,” Mo Ruyue said coldly.”If you dare to provoke me again, you’ll have to consider how many lives you have to waste.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t care that the county magistrate was still kneeling on the ground. She carried the medicine box and turned to leave.

The magistrate originally thought that Mo Ruyue was just bluffing, but that night, he realized that she wasn’t lying and what that little lesson was.

He had been suffering from abdominal pain since the evening. At first, he could still run to the toilet frequently, but later, he was exhausted and his legs were trembling. He could only sit on the bucket and could not get up.
