83 Madam’s Illness Acts Up Again

However, he thought that he understood his wife very well. He thought that no one would be able to surpass her. When the time came, he would just coax her. It was impossible for her to cry and fight with him.

Seeing the county magistrate’s confident look, Constable Liao’s lips curled into an ambiguous smile.

Mo Ruyue’s good days did not last long. Suddenly, one day, she saw Constable Liao standing outside her door, and her eyes darkened.

“Constable Liao, why are you here again?”

“Please visit the city, Madam’s illness is acting up again.”

!!

Mo Ruyue immediately retorted, “Impossible! I’m very clear about the effect of my treatment. As long as there’s a possibility of a relapse, I won’t stop the treatment. Not to mention, she’s taking medicine, bathing, and even applying ointment. How can it relapse?”

“I’m not sure about this. After all, I don’t know medicine. I’m only here to deliver this news and invite you to take a look. ”

Constable Liao was still as calm as ever. No matter what Mo Ruyue’s attitude towards him was, he acted like he was just a messenger and a tool.

“Alright, it’s useless to say that. I’ll go and take a look.”

It wasn’t that Mo Ruyue didn’t think that this might be a trap, but even if it was a trap waiting for her, she had to take this trip.

So she packed up the medicine box, told the babies to look after the house, and went to put on the mule cart.

“Lady Qin, I brought a carriage over, why bother to get your family’s imperial carriage? If the treatment is complete, I will send you back today. If I can’t make it in time, I will ensure you return tomorrow. ”

Constable Liao looked at Mo Ruyue’s actions and frowned slightly. He had brought the carriage here to prevent Mo Ruyue from driving the carriage into the city. He didn’t expect that she would still put on the carriage.

According to his ideal setting, Mo Ruyue should have stayed a night in the back of the Yamen. As long as she stayed, no matter what happened, she would never be able to clear her name.

However, Mo Ruyue was obviously trying her best to prevent this situation from happening. In other words, she had already sensed the county magistrate’s thoughts and was deliberately avoiding it.

“Constable Liao, I have five children, and the youngest is only three or four years old. Even if I have to rush back overnight, I have to come back. I can’t let them spend the night at home alone.”

Mo Ruyue shook her head, but her hands didn’t stop at all. While she was talking, she had already skillfully set up the carriage and urged Constable Liao to set off.

Seeing that his plan was about to be disrupted, Constable Liao’s eyes darkened. However, he was not at that stage yet, so he could still get his plan back on track.

After Mo Ruyue arrived, she had not even entered the main house when she heard LiuWangshi berating the maidservant who was serving her.

“What did I say? You can only wear linen clothes now, not silk or chiffon. Look at what you’re holding. You’re afraid that my condition won’t relapse, right?”

It was still his concubine Mei Xiang who led Mo Ruyue to the main room. After hearing the scolding from the main room, she turned her head and whispered to Mo Ruyue, “Lady Qin, ever since Madam’s illness acted up, she has been unable to control her temper. If she gives you a hard time later, please bear with her. In the past, Madam would never be like this.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t say anything, but she disapproved of Mei Xiang’s words in her heart.

What “Madam would never be like this in the past”? with Madam Liu Wangshi’s unpredictable temper, it would be strange if she didn’t do this.

However, she couldn’t be bothered to expose her in front of others, but if Liu Wangshi really wanted to vent her anger on her later, she wouldn’t swallow her anger.

“Madam, Lady Qin is here.”

Mei Xiang entered the room first and reported to Liu Wangshi. Before she could finish her words, she heard Liu Wangshi say, “Then hurry up and invite her in. What are you waiting for?”

There was another round of chaos in the room, and the sound of a maidservant stopping Liu Wangshi from getting off the bed could be heard. Mo Ruyue’s footsteps paused, and then she walked into the room.

After going around the screen, Mo Ruyue saw Mrs. Liu Wangshi wrapped in a sackcloth, her hair disheveled as she sat on the bed. When she saw Mo Ruyue come in, she stared straight at her.

“Lady Qin, you’re here? Didn’t you say that it would only relapse next year? Look, just look at how many days it has been! Why is it like this again?”

Liu Wangshi stretched out her hand and pulled off the sackcloth covering her body, revealing a red rash. It had already been scratched by her, and was a ghastly sight.

Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to answer her. Instead, she walked over to observe the red rashes at a close distance. Then, she put down the first aid kit and put on the gazelle gloves.

“Madam, don’t be so agitated. Let me check where the problem is. I’ll know how to solve it.”

Liu Wangshi’s entire body was trembling violently due to her emotional outburst. This made Mo Ruyue’s examination difficult, so she had to remind her.

“Alright, you must check it properly. You must cure me!”

Liu Wangshi said somewhat madly. Although she was still very emotional, she obediently lay down and cooperated with Mo Ruyue’s examination.

Before the examination, Mo Ruyue found an excuse to have Liu Wangshi ask Mei Xiang and the other maidservants to leave.

“Madam, this isn’t a relapse of your old illness. If I’m not wrong, someone must have tampered with your medicinal soup or the medicine in the medicinal bath.”

After Mo Ruyue checked it a few times, she gave a conclusion with certainty.

“What? You’re saying that someone wants to… Wuwu!”

Liu Wangshi had just shouted when Mo Ruyue covered her mouth.

“If you want to alert the enemy now, just shout. By then, the person who harmed you will be on guard and won’t be able to be found.”

Mo Ruyue stared coldly at Liu Wangshi. She had thought that she was smart enough, but now she realized that she was also extremely stupid.

“Hmmm…”

Liu Wangshi used her eyes to signal that she wouldn’t be impulsive anymore. After Mo Ruyue let go, she deliberately said coldly, “Lady Qin, you have to give me an explanation. What do you mean you can’t find out the cause of the relapse? After all, I paid you for your treatment. If you can’t cure me, you’re giving me a reason as to why you can’t find the cause. Do you think I’m made of mud and have no temper?”

Her words were meant for the people outside to hear. After she finished, she lowered her voice and asked, “Lady Qin, this… What’s going on? Could it be that someone close to me is trying to harm me?”

As she spoke, she looked around with fear in her eyes, especially at the door behind the screen, as if she was afraid that the person who wanted to harm her would suddenly break in.

“I still need to see the residue of the medicine you drank and the medicinal bath left behind to be more certain. However, from the current evidence… It’s more likely that someone did something to it, because the condition of your skin is an allergic reaction.”

“No, no! How is this possible? How could anyone harm me?”
