Chapter 100

100 A Drop In The Ocean’s Ocean Of Compensation

Mo Ruyue naturally wouldn’t pick on her at this time. She saw that after she had “suffered” a few slaps, she was pulled back by the servants beside her and placed back on the armchair.

“Lady Qin, this official told you before that this was a misunderstanding. Now that the truth is out, let’s just let it go.”

“As for what you said about revenge being impossible, it was this official’s oversight and I had no time to blame myself, so how could I possibly seek revenge? I and my wife are not that kind of people. ”

“If Lady Qin doesn’t believe it, my wife and I are willing to swear in front of all the villagers that we will never do anything that is extremely unfavorable to Lady Qin’s children. If we break this oath, we are willing to be struck by lightning!”

Since the county magistrate had already said this, Mo Ruyue’s original purpose had been achieved.

!!

It was impossible to send Liu Wangshi to prison. Her identity as the county magistrate’s wife was equivalent to his face. In order to protect his face, the county magistrate would definitely put up a last-ditch struggle.

If Mo Ruyue was all alone, she would definitely fight with them to the end. However, she had five babies with her now. Before she was ready to move to another place, she still had to show some mercy.

“I’ve also prepared a compensation for you and the children.”

The county magistrate nodded to the advisor and actually handed over a silver note.

The value of the silver note was fifty taels. Mo Ruyue laughed coldly at the sight.

“This matter is really this official’s oversight, so a mere apology is far from enough. This official represents Madam’s sincere apology. I hope that Madam Qin can accept it and forgive my wife’s mistake.”

“When Old Master asked me to come forward and treat Madam’s illness, he gave me sixty Liang of silver. No matter how I express my apology on behalf of Madam, I still gave you fifty Liang of silver. It is truly a deep affection.”

Mo Ruyue seemed to have only said a few words, but it was very harsh to the county magistrate’s ears.

In order to treat Madam’s illness, she could give sixty taels of silver, but Madam’s slander had damaged her reputation, so she only gave away fifty taels. She was really “very sincere”!

“Grand Master took the wrong one. He didn’t prepare this one, but several other notes.”

The county Magistrate gave the private advisor a look, and the latter could only bring over a few silver notes of different denomination. In total, it was about 120 to 130 silver taels. When the private advisor handed over the silver notes, his entire hand was shaking.

“Since the Old Master is so sincere, if I don’t accept it, I’m not willing to forgive you, and I’m afraid that it will make you feel guilty. So, in order to show my sincerity in forgiving you, I’ll accept this silver note.”

Mo Ruyue unceremoniously accepted the silver notes. This was only a drop in the ocean’s ocean of compensation for the damage to her reputation, so she accepted it with a clear conscience.

Magistrate Liu’s heart was bleeding as he watched Mo Ruyue accept the silver notes, but he still had to smile.

Those silver notes of a hundred or so taels could be used for a period of time. If he enjoyed it and used it, he would not feel the slightest heartache but if he gave it to someone else, it would be like cutting out his heart and flesh, making his whole body tremble in pain.

When the commoners saw this, they all clicked their tongues in wonder. Who would have thought that an ordinary-looking widow would be able to make the county magistrate and his wife lower their heads and apologize? They had even cupped their hands and offered over a hundred taels of silver.

That was more than a hundred taels of silver!

An ordinary family wouldn’t be able to save that much money even if they didn’t eat or drink for decades. It could be said that Lady Qin had become rich overnight. Even if she offended the county magistrate now, this amount of money was enough for her to take her children and flee far away.

Moreover, she had medical skills that even the doctor of Huichun Hall acknowledged. She could rely on this to live a good life wherever he went.

This was really infuriating!

After the case was over, the county magistrate declared Mo Ruyue’s innocence and paid the compensation. Then, he impatiently brought Liu Wangshi back to the back. Staying here any longer would be a great humiliation to him.

Mo Ruyue then looked down at the babies standing beside her. They were also looking up at her. Although little babies like Tang Tang were pale from shock, they had not left Mo Ruyue’s side just now.

She looked at her babies and suddenly revealed an extremely warm smile, making her originally beautiful face even more moving. This was also the first time she showed such a sincere and warm face in front of her babies.

“Mother is fine now. Don’t be afraid. Let’s… go home!”

Her words made the babies’ eyes light up, and they also laughed. They nodded hard and said, “Mother, let’s go home!”

“Let’s go home!”

“Go, go home!”

The family of six happily walked out. Just as they stepped out of the gates, they heard a voice behind them, “Lady Qin, please hold on, Lady Qin!”

When Mo Ruyue heard that voice, she really wanted to pretend that she didn’t hear it and speed up her pace to leave this place. Unfortunately, that person could be considered as her benefactor. If it was the doctor that the county magistrate had prepared in advance, it would be difficult for her to escape today.

So, she stopped and turned around to look at the old man who was chasing after her.

“Doctor, I should really thank you. How about this? The next time I go to Xu City, I’ll personally pay you a visit, okay? Leave me your name so that I can find you when the time comes. ”

Mo Ruyue planned to use a delaying tactic. When the time came, she would prepare a generous gift and send it over. It was impossible for her to go. After all, she really couldn’t afford to give the old doctor what he wanted.

“AI, this old man was just entrusted by your babies and told them the truth. There’s no need to thank me. However, this old man has a favor to ask of you, and I hope that Lady Qin will not decline. ”

When the old man said this, Mo Ruyue’s brows furrowed.

Her two misfortunes this time were caused by treating people. Now, she really didn’t want to be involved in this thing anymore. Who knew if there would be a third or fourth time?

So she immediately said to the old man, “Old Sir, if it’s about medical skills, please forgive me for not being able to help you. You’ve also seen what caused this unexpected disaster. I’m still carrying five babies, and I really don’t want any more trouble.”

The old man was stunned, and his expression was a little awkward. He hesitated for a moment, but still said very sincerely, “Lady Qin, this old man knows the concern in your heart, but if your medical skills are buried, wouldn’t it be too much of a pity?”

“After I retired and returned to my hometown, the reason why I opened the Huichun Hall was to benefit the people in my hometown. With my meager power, I did some things for the people in my hometown.”

“If you really don’t want to come out, then don’t come out to diagnose. Just give some advice on the prescription.”
