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

131 Witness

However, she was already in a position where she couldn’t back down. If she revealed even the slightest intention to retreat, Mo Ruyue would definitely seize the opportunity to pursue and attack her. In the end, she would probably become a joke again.

At this moment, Qin Shi began to feel some regret.

Previously, when she heard that Mo Ruyue had brought a strange man back, she was a little agitated and thought that a great opportunity had come. If she seized the time to make a scene at Mo Ruyue’s door now, she might catch Mo Ruyue off guard.

It was just that she didn’t expect that Mo Ruyue would actually be able to take out something that could prove that man’s identity. This way, she was in a completely passive position.

!!

However, it was too late for her to regret now. She could only continue down this path and insist that the evidence that Mo Ruyue had was fake. That man’s identity was her adulterer and that everything was a smokescreen that she had prepared in advance.

It was difficult for Qin Shi to come up with an idea in such a short time, but she couldn’t care less about whether it was appropriate or not. She could only bite the bullet and say, “Mo Ruyue, what else can you do so that you won’t be caught red-handed?”

“Who knows if it’s a letter or just a piece of paper filled with words? Besides, even if it’s a so-called recommendation letter, who can prove that you didn’t forge it? You’re afraid that your affair will be discovered, so you prepared a smokescreen in advance?”

Qin Shi’s response had long been within Mo Ruyue’s calculations, so when she really heard her say those words, she didn’t feel surprised at all.

“I naturally have a way to prove whether the recommendation letter I took out is true or not. But I’m very curious. Even if I personally invited the Old Imperial Physician of Huichun Hall, would you still say that I bribed him, so he gave false testimony for me?”

Mo Ruyue said jokingly. She could even imagine Qin Shi taking advantage of the situation.

“Hmph, it’s not impossible. Don’t forget, that old man has taken a fancy to your medical skills and has come to invite you to come out of the mountain several times!”

Qin Shi didn’t disappoint Mo Ruyue’s expectations. She followed the pole that Mo Ruyue handed out and climbed up.

Originally, she was just mumbling to herself subconsciously, but suddenly, as if she thought of something, her eyes lit up and she said, “Yeah! I said that you previously refused to treat people’s illnesses, but later you openly joined Huichun Hall. Perhaps it was because you had made this kind of unspeakable deal between you two!”

“You joined Huichun Hall, and he helped you write this kind of fake evidence to cover up for you so that you can have an affair with your adulterer without worry. It must be like this!”

The more Qin Shi spoke, the more exulted she became, as if she had guessed the truth.

Mo Ruyue was listening at the side. She was quite interested in how Qin Shi could come up with such a seemingly logical reason in such a short time.

As expected, this old witch was someone who had lived for a few more years. If she were in a or movie, she would not be so stupid that she would not live past a few episodes.

Only, the Qin Family seemed to have forgotten one point. They had said that they would only make more mistakes.

“Old Madam Qin, let me remind you of something. Your foul mouth has already dirtied the reputation of Mr. Du and me. Now you’re even trying to pour the dirty water on the Old Imperial Physician.”

“Do you think that everyone will tolerate your slander and not respond? Or do you think that as someone from the palace, he doesn’t have any connections at all? Even if he is magnanimous and doesn’t pursue your slander, will his family and students tolerate you?”

Mo Ruyue’s words were like a basin of cold water that was poured on her head. It completely chilled Qin Shi’s heart and also made her excited and heated head completely calm down.

She originally thought that she had caught Mo Ruyue’s weakness this time, but she didn’t expect that in her hurry to speak, she had actually caused a great disaster for herself!

That’s right, the old man she was talking about was an Imperial Physician from the Palace!

He was serving the person who owned the world, and the people he knew were all nobles and rich people. Even if he retired and returned to his hometown, with his medical skills and the network Foundation he had once built, it was not something that she, Qin Shi, a rural woman, could compare to.

She really had the guts of a bear and a leopard. How could she actually dare to make up stories about such a person?

The more Qin Shi thought about it, the more afraid she became. However, the only thing she was glad about now was that the Old Imperial Physician was not at the scene. Otherwise, she would be sent to see the official on the spot. How could her old bones stand the tricks of the Yamen? Wouldn’t she only have a dead end in the end?

After she had thought things through, she felt that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat. Although it was summer, a gust of wind made her shiver.

“I, I didn’t say anything just now. You can’t prove that I said those words.”

For now, Qin Shi could only be stubborn to the end. She stared and denied the words she had just said not long ago.

“I don’t have any evidence?”

Mo Ruyue smiled coldly and tilted her chin, indicating for Qin Shi to look behind her.

The villagers of the Qin family Village had gathered nearby to watch the show. That distance was enough for them to hear the conversation between the two of them clearly.

“There are so many witnesses, and you say I don’t have any evidence? It’s your instinct to lie, right?”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she had already taken in all of the villagers’ reactions.

They had originally come to watch the show, but they did not want to become a part of it. Therefore, even if the Qin family was really reported to the Yamen, no one in the village would be willing to take the risk of offending people to come out and be the witness.

However, Mo Ruyue’s original intention was to scare the Qin Family. Even if such a matter was reported to the Yamen, it would only be to mediate the conflict. It was impossible to give more punishment to the Qin Family.

However, Qin Shi didn’t understand these things. She was almost completely frightened by Mo Ruyue now. Her mind was full of thoughts about whether she could still keep her life if the old man really wanted to pursue this matter.

Now, she couldn’t care about finding trouble with Mo Ruyue anymore. Instead, she was thinking about how to solve her own trouble. But when she looked up at Mo Ruyue, she found that the other party was looking at her calmly, as if waiting for her to speak.

No, she couldn’t. If she begged this little wench, she would become the laughing stock of the Qin family Village. How could she continue to stand here? How could she continue to find trouble with Mo Ruyue?

But now it seemed that if she didn’t ask Mo Ruyue, she didn’t have any better choice.

Qin Shi had already been forced to the point where she was helpless by Mo Ruyue. Just when she really couldn’t think of any way and was prepared to put her old face on the line to plead with Mo Ruyue, Wang Shi, who had been silent beside her, spoke.

“Sister-in-law, mother didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. It’s just that she was too worried about the Qin family’s reputation, and her heart ached for her deceased brother, so she lost her sense of propriety for a moment. Can’t you understand the motherly heart of an old woman?”

As soon as she said this, the original intention of Qin Shi coming to cause trouble immediately changed.
