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

227 Don’t Provoke Me

Mo Ruyue knew that Qin Shi would never believe it. unless she saw it with her own eyes and counted it, no one would believe her.

But what did that have to do with her? If Qin Shi was willing to guess, then let her guess. Anyway, it wasn’t that Mo Ruyue’s life was hard.

Sure enough, Qin Shi’s eyes were full of suspicion, but she was the one who insisted that she believed Mo Ruyue and asked her to go back and help withdraw the money. Now, it was not good to show her suspicion and publicly slap her own face.

So, she forced a smile and said, “Since Eldest Daughter-in-law has said so, I naturally believe it.”

Qin Qingyuan also handed the silver notes and the string of money to Mo Ruyue in front of everyone. In addition to the four taels of silver that Qin Xu had brought, the fine silver of ten taels was finally gathered.

“Lady Qin, now that Madam Qin has already collected the fine money, you should quickly write the receipt so that I can go back and quickly report.”

Constable Wang had been waiting impatiently for a long time. as soon as he saw that the money had been collected, he immediately began to urge them.

“Wait, Sir, we agreed before that the remaining six taels of silver belong to me. My son wants to write an IOU for me to pay back my personal money in the future. The IOU isn’t even finished!”

Qin Shi wouldn’t forget this. She walked to Qin Xu’s side and tightly grabbed his sleeve, saying, “Second Son, everyone heard what you said just now. you can’t go back on your word!”

Qin Xu raised his eyes and looked around. Those who looked at him were all looking at him with contempt and ridicule. There were not many people who supported him.

His face was burning, and he couldn’t wait to leave this embarrassing place immediately. He said in a low voice, “I remember everything. Mother, what are you doing? You’ve become a joke!

“No, you have to write me an IOU first. Otherwise, when I go back to prison, where will I find you to write a note?”

Qin Shi said unyieldingly and even dragged Qin Xu to Mo Ruyue’s side.

“Mo Ruyue. Lend your pen and paper to your second uncle. He’ll write first, so you can write later.”

Mo Ruyue also wanted to quickly settle this matter so that she could find the children. she immediately said, “Huichun Hall doesn’t lack paper and brush. Find him another one and write it together.”

Imperial Doctor Tian had also seen everything from the beginning to the end. He immediately called a little medicine boy to fetch two sets of paper and brush and handed them to mo Ruhan and Qin Xu.

Seeing that he really couldn’t refuse, Qin Xu could only pinch his nose and write the IOU. How could he have thought that Qin Shi would force him in public? He was angry in his heart, but he couldn’t vent it out now, so he could only look at Wang Shi fiercely.

Madam Wang was glared at by her man’s cold and resentful eyes and couldn’t help but shiver. She knew that she was going to become a punching bag again.

Compared to fear, she was more disappointed. Perhaps from the day she woke up from her coma and saw Qin Qingyuan lying next to her and Qin Qingfei standing under the bed, she had completely lost all hope in Qin Xu.

‘I’ve been compromising for the sake of my son and daughter, but in the end, I can’t even protect them, so what am I still enduring?’

A seed had quietly sprouted in Madam Wang’s heart, but no one other than her had noticed it.

No matter how unwilling Qin Xu was, he could only write the IOU in front of everyone. When he put down the last stroke, before the ink had dried, Qin Shi snatched it away and blew on it for a long time before carefully putting it in her arms.

Well, now that the two criminals have apologized and the fine has been paid, I will take the receipt and the criminal back to report to the old master. Everyone, please go back and don’t hinder the business of Huichun Hall!

Constable Wang took the receipt that Mo Ruyue had written and didn’t want to stay a second longer. He pulled his shackles and dispersed the crowd while leaving with Madam Qin and Wang Luosheng.

After Qin Xu finished writing the IOU, he disappeared into the crowd, leaving only Madam Wang and her two children behind, and continued to be criticized.

“Auntie, thank you for letting bygones be bygones and sending me back to get the money, so my grandma can avoid a few days of prison. Qingyuan would like to thank you.”

Qin Qingyuan didn’t seem to hear those harsh voices. He respectfully bowed to Mo Ruyue and thanked her. His every move seemed very cultured, forming a sharp contrast with Qin Xu.

“There is no need to thank me. It’s more important that you don’t provoke me. Take your mother and sister home and live a good life. I still have things to do, so I won’t see you off.”

Mo Ruyue knew his true face and naturally wouldn’t be confused by this illusion, but the onlookers didn’t know. Many of them looked at Qin Qingyuan’s delicate, handsome face, gentle and reasonable behavior, and suddenly felt sympathy for him when they compared him with Qin Xu.

“What a sin! He’s such a good child, but he has such a grandmother and father. How is he going to live his days in the future?”

“It’s rare that you’re so obedient and sensible. If it were that devil in our family, wouldn’t he go to the roof and tear down the tiles every day?”

“That’s why there’s an old saying: ‘Good shoots come from bad bamboo’. I think it’s true!”

Mo Ruyue did not continue to listen. She had more important things to do now, so she no longer paid attention to Madam Wang and her son. Instead, she turned to Imperial Doctor Tian and said, “Elder Tian, I still have something to do, so I won’t be staying in the clinic today. I’ll have to trouble you to pay more attention to that side.”

Imperial Doctor Tian had never seen Mo Ruyue take the initiative to ask for help, so something must have happened on the way home. However, she didn’t say anything, so he couldn’t ask too much. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Lady Qin. I can handle the rest of the things. You can go and do your things. If there is not enough time today, you don’t have to come and say anything. Just come back after you’re done.”

Mo Ruyue nodded and did not stand on ceremony with Imperial physician Tian. He led the brown horse and left.

Now that Qing Xi’s condition had gradually stabilized, her daily life had been accepted by Madam Du and the others. Her recovery was more than enough to be taken care of by Imperial physician Tian, so she could leave with peace of mind.

Taking a step back, even if Qing Xi’s condition was not stable, she still had to leave. After all, the disappearance of the babies at home was a big deal to her.

Originally, Mo Ruyue thought that the babies knew that today was the day the Qin family’s second branch would pay the fine, so they followed them into the city to watch the show. After all, the mother and babies had not seen each other for too long, so it would be good to take this opportunity to meet.

The reason why she didn’t meet them on the road was probably because she took a wrong turn. She would naturally see them when she returned to the county.

However, when Mo Ruyue came back and carefully observed the crowd around her, she also asked the people in Huichun Hall if they had seen her baby. The answer was that they had never seen her baby. This made her realize the seriousness of the problem.

If the babies didn’t come to the city, where could they have gone?

Mo Ruyue believed that the babies must be with the Liu couple. The Black Horse and the cart were not in the house, and the Liu family was guarded by an iron general. Although Da Bao was impatient at times, he had become more and more calm after coming in. He would never leave with his younger brothers and sisters without saying a word.

She was planning to go to Du Zhongheng’s house to see if she could find any clues there.
