Chapter 88

88 The Hidden Conspiracies

The entire room was filled with an extremely pungent smell. If someone were to smell it, they would be choked.

The county magistrate had two rolls of cloth stuck in his nose. He sat on the gong bucket with a pained expression. He didn’t even dare to get up. He had only taken two steps before he had to run back. In the end, he could only sit up.

“Where’s the doctor? Get me a new doctor! Brew me some medicine!”

The magistrate had been tormented to the point that his temper was extremely irritable. Even though he had found no less than three or four doctors to see him, they all said that he had caught a cold and had diarrhea. There were no signs of him being drugged.

He couldn’t possibly reveal that he had been drugged because he had teased Mo Ruyue. Even if he did, the doctor wouldn’t be able to find any signs of being drugged. No one would believe him except for Constable Liao.

!!

Those doctors had given him prescriptions that were based on the cold. How could they be the right symptoms? in the end, because he drank the wrong medicine, it made the magistrate’s condition worse. It was a vicious circle.

“Master, all the doctors in the city have been invited. Even the less famous doctors have been invited. There’s really no one else to invite.”

Chen An stood at the door and responded with a bitter face. He was facing the county magistrate, and he could not cover his mouth and nose. He could only endure the stench. He felt dizzy and almost fainted.

“Useless things, each and every one of you has become a good-for-nothing when I need you. Get lost!”

The magistrate was so angry that he started cursing. He didn’t care if it was an insult to a refined man. If he couldn’t even curse, then he would really explode.

As if he had been granted amnesty, Chen An ran away in fear, leaving the county magistrate sitting on the bucket and continuing to suffer. Fortunately, he had been used to such a foul environment. At least his sense of smell was no longer tortured.

The pain lasted until the latter half of the night, when his diarrhea suddenly recovered without any medicine. At this time, the magistrate was tortured to the point that he did not even have the strength to climb down from the bucket and pull up his pants, let alone curse. It was still the unlucky Chen An who helped him clean up and pull up his pants. Only then did he send him back to his concubine, Mei Xiang’s room.

At this moment, Magistrate Liu finally experienced Mo Ruyue’s methods. However, he still didn’t want to give up. He didn’t want to have her now. Instead, he felt a strong desire for revenge after his embarrassment turned into anger.

It wasn’t that Mo Ruyue didn’t know that she had offended the county magistrate badly, but she had many means of self-defense and had also anticipated her retreat in case of revenge, so she wasn’t afraid in her heart. She just responded to the changes by staying the same.

However, she didn’t expect the county magistrate’s revenge to come so quickly. The method she had used to deter him previously had no effect at all.

Just two days after Mo Ruyue returned to the Qin Village to rest, the county magistrate sent someone again. This time, the one leading the team was not Constable Liao, but the arrogant Constable Wang.

He knocked on the door of the Qin Family’s new residence before dawn and shouted, “Open the door! Widow, get the hell out here!”

The commotion he made had almost alarmed the entire Qin Village. Mo Ruyue naturally heard it, but she directly splashed the foot-washing water that she didn’t pour out last night across the high wall.

“F*ck! Are you f*cking rebelling? You dare resist arrest?”

Constable Wang was shouting with all his might when he was suddenly splashed with water. After being stunned for a while, he was instantly enraged and started cursing.

“Judging from the voice, it should be Constable Wang, right? You’ve brought people to knock on the door before dawn, and you don’t even tell me why you’re here and you want me to get out? So what if I, Mo Ruyue, am a widow? Which criminal law did I break? You want me to come out and I’ll come out? Then if I tell you to get lost, will you get lost?”

Mo Ruyue said coldly through the door.

It wasn’t that she didn’t dare to open the door, but she was afraid that once she opened the door, she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would directly hit Constable Wang. That man was really stupid and cheap, it was hard to resist the urge to beat him up.

If he wasn’t still wearing official skin, he would have been put in a gunny sack and thrown into a stinking ditch.

At the same time, she was also very alert and detected a hidden plot.

She couldn’t sense the aura of Constable Liao from the outside. She was very sensitive to everyone’s aura, especially the one that had left a deep impression on her.

If Constable Liao was here, Constable Wang wouldn’t have a chance to speak at all. He was a man who didn’t give others a chance to criticize him when he did things. Therefore, even if he was to be interrogated for his crimes, he wouldn’t use any violence or insult.

However, this Wang guy was different. He was a rough and arrogant person. The last time he came, he had a conflict with her. Now that there was such a good opportunity for revenge, how could he miss it?

However, he had always had zero tolerance for this kind of person. If the conflict intensified, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t make a move on her. As long as she made a move, it would leave behind a handle for others to make an issue of. This was a vicious plan designed according to her personality.

What was even more disgusting was that if she saw through this vicious plan and chose to endure and bide her time, it would definitely disgust her.

In a dilemma, no matter what she did, she would be checkmated.

It should be the real method that Constable Liao used to do things.

“If you have the ability, come out and speak! I’ll kill you!”

Constable Wang was already extremely unhappy after being splashed with water. After hearing Mo Ruyue’s words, he was simply furious.

He stood outside the Qin Family’s new residence, jumping and cursing. He couldn’t help but kick the door hard.

“If you want to arrest me, you must give me a reason. Otherwise, you’ll be using your power to commit murder, and I won’t let you off!”

Mo Ruyue did not lose her cool just because of Constable Wang’s provocation. The current situation was not in her favor, so she had to carefully consider her next step. As for why the door had not been opened until now, it was naturally because she wanted the villagers to see more of Constable Wang’s ugly face. The more witnesses there were, the more favorable the situation would be for her.

“Alright, then I’ll let you die with a clear understanding!”

Sure enough, Constable Wang fell for Mo Ruyue’s goading. At the same time, he noticed that more and more villagers were gathering around. He started to shout loudly with the thought of completely ruining Mo Ruyue’s reputation.

“You quack, you took my master’s sixty Liang of silver to treat Madam’s illness, and the result? She had only recovered for a few days, but her old illness relapsed and she was even in more pain than before. Last night, my Madam couldn’t bear the pain and tried to commit suicide, and she was finally saved. ”

“Now, the old master wants to take you back and ask you about your sin of disregarding human life. So, are you still going to be stubborn?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door open with a creak. Mo Ruyue walked out with a few frightened babies behind her.

“Hmph, now you’re afraid and come out? Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Why aren’t you showing off?”
