Chapter 130

130 Venomous Slander

Mo Ruyue had already finished feeding the big young mule and had been listening outside the door for quite a while. Just as she was about to enter the house, she heard loud shouts and footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

“The one with the surname Mo, get the hell out here!”

Qin Shi’s voice came from outside. It was sharp and ear-piercing, like the sound of iron scraping against a Blackboard. It carried an aggressive tone of condemnation.

The babies and Du Zhongheng were all alarmed and immediately came out of the “classroom”. They happened to see Mo Ruyue standing at the door.

“Lady Qin, what’s going on?”

!!

Du Zhongheng could not help but ask when he heard the curses outside and saw the nervous and angry expressions on the babies’ faces.

“It’s okay. Mr Dean, please take the babies back and do what you need to do. No matter what happens outside, don’t be disturbed.”

Mo Ruyue waved her hand. She knew that Qin Shi was a kind person who would not come. For her to come so aggressively, it must be because she had brought Du Zhongheng back.

“Mother, let’s go out with you. It’s been a long time since grandma dared to come to our house. It’s definitely not a good thing that she’s back.”

Da Bao frowned tightly as he did not want Mo Ruyue to face the Qin Family alone. Now that they were more sensible and reasonable, they should stand firmly by their mother’s side and support her at such a time.

“You guys go back first. Mr. Dean shouldn’t have finished studying your knowledge. Don’t waste today’s time.”

Mo Ruyue could understand Da Bao’s intentions, but she did not want to delay the proper business for a mere Qin Family.

Da Bao was silent for a moment, then immediately bowed to Du Zhongheng and said, “Mr Dean, please come back with us.”

Du Zhongheng raised an eyebrow. He had thought that Da Bao would insist on his opinion, but he did not expect him to directly obey her without even refuting her.

Listening to one’s parents was the most important part of filial piety, but it could easily become foolish filial piety. From the process of contact with these babies just now, he had roughly understood the temperament of each baby.

Da Bao should not be the type to be so easily obedient. He was even a little stubborn, but he was now showing absolute obedience. This could not help but arouse Du Zhongheng’s interest.

He looked at Da Bao a few more times with interest and then nodded. “Alright, let’s go back and continue.”

Mo Ruyue watched the babies go back to the “classroom” and guessed from the sound of their footsteps that Qin Shi was about to arrive. Then, she quickly walked to the door. The door was open so she slowly walked out.

The timing was just right. Qin Shi just happened to appear at the courtyard gate. Next to her was the second branch’s daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, and behind her was a group of villagers who had heard the commotion and came to see the fun.

Originally, the people in the village were very gossipy. Especially when the Qin Family and Mo Ruyue had a conflict, each of them was more excited than the other.

In the beginning, the Qin Family was able to control Mo Ruyue and make him happy. Who knew that Mo Ruyue’s temperament would suddenly change. Her temper was cold and violent, and she was extremely not to be provoked. She also had a skill that came from God knows where, and even her mouth was vicious.

No one knew how many losses the Qin Family had already suffered at the hands of Mo Ruyue. Yet, they still fought and lost again and again. In the end, they were slapped in the face more severely each time.

However, in today’s confrontation between the two, Mo Ruyue was afraid that she would suffer. Although she was now a widow and had separated from the Qin family, her identity was still Qin Ming’s widow. Their marriage relationship had not been dissolved.

Under such circumstances, if she brought a strange man home, it would be a public slap to Qin Shi’s face. It would be a great humiliation to the entire Qin family. It would be strange if Qin Shi would let her go.

Qin Shi also came with full confidence. This time, she could be considered to have grasped Mo Ruyue’s weakness. Even if she couldn’t get back the new house and land, she could at least make her shed a layer of skin, bleed a lot, and teach her a good lesson.

When they were approaching Mo Ruyue’s house, she had already deliberately shouted a few words. Now that she saw Mo Ruyue coming out of the gate, she was even more excited.

“Surnamed Mo, you’re really good. You brought an adulterer to our door in broad daylight? Do you still have Qin Ming in your eyes? Do you still have our Qin family in your eyes?”

After she had taken the initiative to berate Mo Ruyue, she didn’t even give Mo Ruyue a chance to speak. Instead, she directly turned to the villagers who were watching the show and cried, “Everyone, please be the judge. Is there such a thing in the world? She’s still the daughter-in-law of our Qin family. Bringing a man to our house like this is a slap to the face of our old Qin family!”

Mo Ruyue saw that Qin Shi wanted to convict her directly, but she didn’t want her to speak and defend herself. Would that work?

“Old Lady Qin, if you want to pin a crime on me, you have to have evidence. I did bring a man back, but you said he was my adulterer. Where’s the evidence?”

“Which eye of yours saw me committing adultery with him? Just because he entered my, Mo Ruyue’s door? If this is the case, then if any man in our village enters the door of another family, could it be that they have committed adultery with the woman of that family?”

Once she said this, it was equivalent to pulling the villagers to her side. After all, according to the Qin’s logic, it was not bad to make such a deduction.

“You! I didn’t say that, don’t you slander me!”

Qin Shi was stunned. She didn’t expect that Mo Ruyue would grab the loophole in her words and want to pull the surrounding villagers to her side. In a moment of desperation, she didn’t know how to explain herself.

“Who’s the one making false accusations?”

With one sentence, Mo Ruyue had seized the initiative. She looked at the somewhat panicked Qin Shi and asked, “You don’t even know the identity of the person I brought back, and you’re speculating that he’s my adulterer. Hmph, don’t say that I won’t let you go. Do you think that Sir will let you off easily?”

“What… What Sir? Who knows what kind of person you’ve brought back! Besides, do you think I’m a master just because you say so? What evidence do you have? Show it!”

Qin Shi was caught off guard by Mo Ruyue’s rhetorical question. Now, she finally came back to her senses. She also learned from Mo Ruyue and deliberately used her own words to refute her.

It was just that the Qin Family had used a rigid method. It seemed like they had launched a counterattack, but in fact, it was full of loopholes. Mo Ruyue could find countless flaws with just a casual look.

“I do have evidence, but … Do you understand?”

Mo Ruyue directly activated taunting mode, and it was the kind that would hit with one hit.

Qin Shi was illiterate. This was not a new thing in the village. Even the men in the village were not literate, let alone the women.

She watched as Mo Ruyue took out a letter from her arms and waved it in front of her.

“This is the recommendation letter written by the Old Imperial Physician of Huichun Hall. Do you want me to read it to you?”

Qin Shi’s eye muscles twitched a few times. She didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to really take out something. It didn’t look like she took out a piece of paper to Bluff.
