I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

124 Seeking Medical Treatment
After he finished speaking, he walked to the back of the desk, picked up the pen, and began to write. Soon, he finished writing a letter and an address.

The old imperial doctor put the letter in an envelope, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Mo Ruyue along with the address.

“Lady Qin, I think you should be eager to go home now, so I won’t keep you to talk. The day after tomorrow is your shift, don’t forget it.”

“Elder Tian, thank you very much. Whether it’s for introducing me as a candidate or for helping me write this letter. I, Mo Ruyue, will accept this friendship!”

Mo Ruyue cupped her fists at the old imperial doctor. She was indeed anxious to return home and wanted to go back as soon as possible to ask for her babies’ opinions.

As long as they didn’t follow the original plot of the book and become some big villain, she didn’t care at all whether they would pass the imperial examinations and become an official.

Anyway, she would build a huge business empire in the future and have enough financial resources to let them live comfortably for ten lifetimes even if they didn’t achieve anything.

After bidding farewell to the old imperial doctor, Mo Ruyue immediately drove the carriage back to the Qin Village. This time, she didn’t stroll around the city to buy things, but directly rushed back. Just past noon, she had already arrived at the entrance of the Qin Village.

“Lady Qin… Is it Lady Qin?”

A man suddenly rushed out from the side of the road. Fortunately, Mo Ruyue reacted quickly and pulled on the reins, stopping the mule cart in time and not colliding with him.

“Who are you? Don’t you know how dangerous it is to get in the way?”

Mo Ruyue scolded with a cold face. She didn’t care who the other party was or what background he had. He was blocking her way just like that. Just scolding him was already a light punishment.

“S-sorry, I-I… I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. It’s not easy to see your imperial carriage return, so I was a little excited…”

The man stammered. Whether it was his expression or tone, he was extremely excited. At the same time, he was also very ill at ease. A single sentence caused him to stammer.

“Why were you looking for me? I’m in a hurry to go home.”

Mo Ruyue was impatient to listen to any nonsense. She still had a lot of lessons to teach her babies today. Most importantly, she had to understand what her babies thought of the future Mr. Enlightenment.

“Lady Qin, I’ve heard of your Divine Doctor’s reputation and have come here. I beg you to save my mother!”

Mo Ruyue had long thought that this person might be here to seek medical treatment. Although she was now in charge of Huichun Hall, there were still sporadic people who came from far away every day to seek medical treatment from her.

Now that this man was also seeking medical treatment for his mother, she couldn’t help but think of the man who had abandoned her mother in the mountains and then turned around to bite her after she had cured the old woman.

Everything had happened because of him. If not for that, it would not have led to the series of disturbances that followed.

Although the man in front of her wasn’t that “ungrateful wolf,” it was enough to make Mo Ruyue feel repulsed. She immediately refused, “I’m sorry, I don’t have the ability. You’d better find someone else!”

“Divine Doctor Qin, I beg you. You’re the only one who can save my mother!”

That man suddenly knelt down in front of Mo Ruyue with a “plop”. His actions had already provoked her, but his next sentence caught her attention again.

“Divine Doctor Qin, my mother’s illness is the same as the one you cured in the beginning. Didn’t you cure that old woman back then? Only you were able to save her, so you can definitely save my mother.”

“I beg you, Divine Doctor Qin. Please show mercy!”

As the man spoke, he started to kowtow to Mo Ruyue.

He didn’t seem to care if he would be injured at all. He just kept kowtowing until his forehead was blue and purple, and then blood began to flow.

“If you don’t stop, then continue kowtowing. I won’t care if you die.”

Mo Ruyue seemed to be saying cold words, but the man had already heard the meaning behind her words and immediately stopped.

However, his forehead was already bruised and blood was flowing down his brow bone, dyeing one of his eyes red.

“If others see you like this, they’ll think that I’m deliberately making things difficult for you. Are you afraid that I’ll be criticized for slandering you too little?”

Although Mo Ruyue’s mouth was unforgiving, she had already jumped down from the shaft of the car and dragged the medicine box over. She glanced at the man again.

“Come here, are you still waiting for me to go over and bandage you up?”

“Oh, oh. Thank you, thank you, Divine Doctor Qin.”

Only then did he stagger to his feet. Because he had hit the ground too hard just now, he felt dizzy the moment he got up and almost fell head-first. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in time and waited for the dizziness to dissipate before he staggered to the side of the imperial carriage.

Mo Ruyue started to treat his wound. As she cleaned the sand on his wound, she asked, “You’re saying that your mother’s illness is the same as the one I cured in the beginning? How did you know who my first patient was?”

“Because we’re all from the same village. The old woman you saved is related to my mother by blood, but she’s already married for five years, so she’s not that close anymore.”

“You don’t know how surprised we were when her son brought her back to the village. We thought she was dead for sure, but who knew that she could even stand up and sit for a while when she came back?”

“After that, I’ve been thinking of bringing my mother here to seek treatment from you, but…”

The man suddenly started to hesitate.

“What? That old woman is missing?”

When Mo Ruyue heard this news, her heart couldn’t help but sink.

She had already foreseen this day, but after her premonition was confirmed, she still found it hard to accept.

Where did the old woman go? The answer was obvious to her, but she had no evidence to prove her guess.

It was not a baseless accusation, but an inference she made after her own observation.

Mo Ruyue couldn’t help but think of the old woman’s proof for her after she woke up, the pair of withered hands that held her tightly, and the soft “thank you”.

“Yes, it’s said that the old woman left her house in the middle of the night and disappeared into the mountains behind the village.”

“We found the footprints left by her, as well as traces of her walking stick. But no one could have imagined that an old woman who only had the strength to sit up could walk into the mountains and disappear without a trace.”

Mo Ruyue was silent. She couldn’t answer this question. When an old woman was determined to die, no illness or torture could stop her from completing such a task. Not to mention that there were people who would secretly add fuel to the fire and help her.
