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

164 A Plan to Kill Many Birds With One Stone

Mo Ruyue was not a good-tempered person. Compared to the words “convincing others with reason,” she believed more in the saying that whoever had the tougher fist had the right to speak. It was just that she was a little gentler now for the sake of her babies. But that didn’t mean that if someone pointed at her nose and scolded her, she wouldn’t beat them up until their teeth were all over the ground.

“You, you can’t win, yet you still hit me!”

That man seemed to have been beaten senseless just now. It took a long time for him to snap back to his senses. He pointed at Mo Ruyue and said.

“I can’t win against you? You really know how to put gold on your face. I’m telling you, If it weren’t for the fact you would not be able to talk, I would break all your teeth. I mean what I say!”

Mo Ruyue’s body was now filled with an icy murderous aura. Her beautiful eyes were overflowing with a cold light. Her gaze was so cold and sharp that people did not dare to look at her directly. At this moment, the people present finally understood why there had been rumors that Mo Ruyue was not to be trifled with.

“Lady Qin, calm down. Since this person isn’t here to see a doctor, but to find trouble, then just throw him out. Don’t ruin your mood and delay everyone’s time.”

A patient who was waiting in line for treatment stood up and spoke. He was here for a follow-up examination. Mo Ruyue had an impression of him.

“That’s right, Lady Qin. We all know what kind of person you are. These days, your medical ethics and skills have been well-known. People hold you in high regard. How can such an ignorant young man slander you?”

“Maybe they saw that you’re in the limelight now, so they’re jealous and came to find trouble. Please don’t give two hoots about them!”

One after another, people came out to support Mo Ruyue. Regardless of whether they were patients waiting in line for her treatment, everyone had the ambition to stand on Mo Ruyue’s side.

“Hmph, you guys know nothing!”

Although that man had been slapped, he obviously hadn’t learned his lesson. He looked around the crowd. Although the arrogance in his eyes hadn’t been wiped away, he didn’t dare to meet Mo Ruyue’s eyes.

“Let me tell you, the private tutor that this woman has hired for her child is called Du Zhongheng! Don’t tell me you don’t know who Du Zhongheng is!”

As soon as he said this, the people who were staring at him with righteous indignation were stunned.

In this county, perhaps not everyone knew that the county magistrate’s name was Chen Luyu. However, everyone definitely knew who Du Zhongheng was.

He used to be the pride of this county, but now, he was also a great humiliation that the entire county could not lift its head.

No wonder that man came up and said that Mo Ruyue was disobedient and rebellious. It turned out that the private school teacher she hired for her children was actually Du Zhongheng!

He was indeed the number one talent in the world, but he was also a treasonous person who had been personally noted by the Tian family that he would never participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life. To choose such a person as a teacher, it could be seen that Mo Ruyue was also a person who did not follow the rules of etiquette.

Among those who supported Mo Ruyue, some people’s eyes immediately changed.

They were all scholars and held Du Zhongheng in contempt. Now that they suddenly learned that he had become a private school teacher for Mo Ruyue’s children, they simply could not accept the impact of this news.

However, this was not the end.

The man had already seen everyone’s expressions. He smiled sinisterly and then dropped the second bomb.

“Lady Qin, do you dare to tell everyone that you brought that man home and were caught red-handed by your mother-in-law?”

“What!”

“No way, there’s actually an affair between them?”

“It’s not impossible. I heard that Lady Qin’s man died on the battlefield. A widow is attracted by a romantic and talented man. Isn’t that how it is in novels? ”

“Tsk, tsk, so this is the reason why that man said she’s not a virtuous woman. So, she flew into a rage out of humiliation just now because she wanted to shut him up?”

There were many discordant voices among the one-sided support for Mo Ruyue, and those voices were still expanding. More and more people’s attitudes towards Mo Ruyue immediately changed just because of Du Zhongheng’s name.

Mo Ruyue also heard those comments and immediately realized that this man in front of her had definitely come prepared.

Putting aside the matter of her hiring Du Zhongheng for the time being, how did the people in the county city know that Qin Shi had brought people to “catch them in the act”?

She had already warned the people of the Qin Village. Once she found out that they couldn’t control their mouths, she would definitely not let them go.

So she knew very well that there must be someone behind this. The purpose was clear: not only did they want to ruin her reputation, but they also wanted to ruin the future of her babies.

This was a plan that killed many birds with one stone. Moreover, starting from her babies would destroy her heart!

Mo Ruyue didn’t need to think much. A figure immediately flashed in her mind.

“What nonsense are you guys talking about? Lady Qin is a pure and innocent woman, how can you slander her like this!”

An angry voice came from Huichun Hall. Everyone turned their heads and saw Imperial Doctor Tian walking over with an angry face.

This old man had always been kind and amiable, and almost no one had seen him blush with anyone.

Although he was the imperial physician of the palace and had dealt with many nobles, he had never put on airs in front of the common people, let alone have an arrogant attitude.

However, his face was full of anger, and his hair and beard were all standing up. He walked over and knocked the ground with the stick in his hand. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

“Elder Tian, it’s not the first time you’ve stood up for this Lady Qin. Whenever has she been doubted by others, it’s you who came out to smooth things over. Even if you’re highly respected, you should at least cherish your feathers, right?”

“You can’t always rely on your reputation to help Lady Qin wipe away all the ugly things. That will make you lose your integrity.”

The man who had been beaten up seemed to have thrown everything out, and at this time, he was also unscrupulously spouting nonsense to Imperial Doctor Tian.

“Shut up! Is Elder Tian someone you can just randomly scold?”

“One more word of nonsense and we’ll drown you with our saliva!”

“Why are you using your saliva? Is your fist not hard enough?”

His words immediately aroused the anger of the people. Mo Ruyue’s foundation was still shallow, and her prestige was far less than Imperial Doctor Tian’s, so those who supported her were easily incited by rumors.

However, Imperial Doctor Tian was different. He treated medicine and saved people. Sometimes, not only did he not take a single cent, but he even had to pay for it. When he was in Xu City, he was known as a living bodhisattva.

Now that someone dared to slander Imperial Doctor Tian like this, would the commoners tolerate him?

The fact that no one beat him up on the spot was already a sign of restraint, as they did not want to cause trouble for Imperial Doctor Tian.

“Are you questioning this old man’s favoritism?”

Imperial Doctor Tian raised his hands and suppressed the crowd’s voices. He then turned to look at the man and asked coldly.

“Hmph, you dare to say that you don’t have any thoughts of protecting your own? Every time this Lady Qin is questioned, you’re always the first one to stand up. You can’t ignore her personal morality just because she’s a Divine Doctor, right?”
