Chapter 60

Da Bao carried the old man according to Mo Ruyue’s instructions and instructed Er Bao to look after his younger siblings before walking towards the new residence. Mo Ruyue, on the other hand, went ahead to get a carriage.

Although she didn’t know how to drive a carriage yet, she could still walk with a mule.

Sending someone off in a carriage was a little too formal for a few steps in the same village, but Mo Ruyue had deliberately done it to prevent others from picking on him.

As for whether there would be other difficulties, she had already mentally prepared herself.

!!

After laying a layer of bedding on the Imperial Carriage, Mo Ruyue put the old man down and led the Imperial Carriage with Da Bao to Sixth Uncle’s house.

This Sixth Uncle was Qin Ming’s distant relative and he called him sixth uncle according to seniority. Although Qin Ming wasn’t here and the main branch separated from the Qin Family, they still called him the same.

The babies’ seniority was one level lower, so they were called sixth uncles.

It was only a few steps away before the carriage stopped in front of a house.

There was indeed an ox-cart parked outside the house, and there was a conversation in the yard. Mo Ruyue could faintly hear that someone was leaving. She was glad that she had made the prompt decision to bring people to the door immediately. If she had been one step late, she was afraid that she would have found nothing.

She stood at the door with the mule and motioned for Da Bao to go up and knock on the door.

“Sixth Uncle, I’m the big treasure of the Qin family. Please open the door.”

Da Bao knocked on the door and raised his voice to shout.

“Da Bao? Qinghan?”

A question came from inside, and the voice was full of surprise. The two families did not have much contact usually, they just nodded and passed by each other on the road in the village. He did not know why Da Bao suddenly came to visit.

The door opened quickly. A man in his fifties stood at the door. It was the sixth uncle that Da Bao had been referring to.

“Da Bao, why are you here? What’s the matter?”

The man first saw Da Bao who was standing outside the door, then he saw Mo Ruyue who was leading the big young mule not far away. When his gaze shifted to the car, his heart suddenly beat faster for some reason.

There was clearly a person lying under the blanket. Although his face was tilted to the side and blocked from being seen clearly, he had a bad feeling about it. But… It couldn’t be…

He turned his head and glanced at the courtyard again. He shook his head slightly at a man who was about to leave, indicating that he should not come over first.

“Sixth Uncle, did an old man come to your house? He seemed to have lost her grandmother, and we happened to run into her. We want to send her back.”

As Da Bao spoke, he turned around and glanced at his own Imperial Carriage. He gestured, “That grandmother seems to be sick, and very sick at that. But my mother cured her. Please ask that uncle to take her back.”

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

The old man shook his head and said, “A relative came to my house today, but that’s a relative from your sixth maternal grandmother’s side. He came to see us alone and was ready to leave. You guys must have found the wrong person, right?”

He raised his voice on purpose to remind the man in the yard. As expected, the man’s face changed when he heard the old man’s words.

“That’s impossible. Our family of six saw it clearly. It was that uncle who entered your house. We also saw him in the mountains.”

Da Bao deliberately mentioned what happened in the mountains. He suddenly understood why his mother’s eyes were full of sarcasm when she mentioned this matter.

“Sixth Uncle, I heard some movement in your courtyard just now. Is that relative leaving? Why haven’t I seen him yet? Come out!”

Mo Ruyue also spoke. The scene in front of her was within her expectations, especially when she saw the old man roll his eyes. She knew that he definitely knew the truth. What he had said just now was also a tip-off to the man in the courtyard who was about to leave.

The old man was just about to speak when he heard Mo Ruyue say, “Although the person in this car was picked up by us, she’s still a life that we pulled back from the gates of hell. If you say you don’t know her, then I can only send her to the authorities to see if I can find her relatives.”

“She’s already so old. How could he lose someone when he had someone following him into the mountains?”

Her words shocked the old man. It seemed that the Qin Family’s first branch and mother had really seen everything. Otherwise, they would not have come to find him directly.

What was worse was that she didn’t pester them when they didn’t admit it. She directly said that she would send them to the authorities. If she really sent them there, it would be the same as taking his life!

The old man now regretted agreeing to the man’s proposal. He had asked him to take the old woman to the mountains and abandon her. Now, not only had she been seen, but she had also been sent back. If he didn’t admit it, he would be sent to the government. What should he do?

Just as he was feeling anxious, the man in the courtyard suddenly thought of something. He pinched his thigh hard, and his face was instantly covered in tears. He cried and rushed to the door.

“Uncle-in-law, my mother… My mother has really been found? Where is she? Mother! Mother!”

He rushed to the door and looked outside. When he saw the person lying in the taxi outside, his face wrinkled and his tears flowed even more fiercely. He rushed to the side of the car and started wailing again before he could see the person lying in the car.

“I told you that you were seriously ill and need a good rest at home. You just don’t listen! He said that there was medicine in the mountains and asked me to take you to find it! This mountain is so high and the forest is so dense that we’ll be separated after walking for a while. I was even thinking that I’d never see you again in this life!”

His words were clearly explained for Mo Ruyue to hear. If he didn’t care about the few obvious loopholes, he could still make up his story.

However, these words couldn’t even fool Da Bao, let alone Mo Ruyue.

As the man cried, he glanced at Mo Ruyue from the corner of his eye. When he saw her staring at him with a faint smile, his heart sank.

It was obvious that the woman didn’t believe a single word he had said.

“Big brother, although your mother’s illness is serious, it’s not incurable. I don’t know if there is any medicine in the mountains that can cure her, but if we bring such a patient into the mountains, she will definitely die.”

Mo Ruyue said lightly, but every word that came out of her mouth sent a chill down one’s spine.

That man was afraid that Mo Ruyue would bring up the topic of him abandoning the old woman on purpose and immediately explained, “My mother is already so sick. I especially brought her here to see the village’s miracle doctor, but the miracle doctor said that he couldn’t cure her. We can only see if she has any unfulfilled wishes and if she has any regrets. That’s why I…”

He changed the topic and said doubtfully, “Just now, you said that you’ve cured my mother? How is that possible? Even the village’s famous Divine Doctor couldn’t do it, and you’re saying you’ve cured her? Don’t tell me you gave my mother some random medicine and lied that you cured her!”

The man’s expression immediately became a little ferocious, and he said doubtfully and fiercely, “I’m telling you, don’t even think about using my mother to blackmail people. She’s already a dying person and can’t stand your torture!”

Mo Ruyue’s brows raised. This person saw that the situation wasn’t right and wanted to make a countercharge and pour all the dirty water on her?

She could already imagine what would happen next. This man would take the old lady back, but she didn’t have long to live. As for the scapegoat, wasn’t it just right in front of her?
