Chapter 132 - 132 Hard Or Soft

132 Hard Or Soft

Qin Shi was reminded by her second daughter-in-law’s words. She originally wanted to echo her, but when she thought of the situation where she had said too much and made too many mistakes, she immediately learned to shut her mouth.

However, she could use other methods to agree with Madam Wang’s words.

Qin Shi’s facial features wrinkled, and her eyes immediately turned red. Bean-sized tears rolled down her face, and soon, her face was covered in tears and snot.

“My poor son left his entire family to join the army. He fought bravely at the front lines, but did he ever think that this day would come? If it wasn’t for the fact that my poor son never returned, would all these things have happened?”

!!

“My poor son! It’s all mother’s fault for not having the ability. Even if I wanted to protect your reputation, I almost lost my life. If you had known in the netherworld, would you have allowed the Shrew to take the lead and humiliate your mother like this, wishing she could die?”

She was beating around the bush and scolding Mo Ruyue. This time, she couldn’t find any reason to do so, right?

Madam Wang came over to support Madam Qin. She took out a rough cloth handkerchief from her arms and personally wiped her tears.

“Mother, if you continue to cry like this, your body won’t be able to take it. Wouldn’t this make big brother unable to rest in peace in the netherworld?”

Madam Wang was very obedient. She didn’t even say a single word of Mo Ruyue’s fault and only mentioned Qin Ming who had died.

She had also learned this move from Mo Ruyue, which was to win over most of the villagers to her and Qin Shi’s side.

As long as they managed to win everyone’s support, their words would definitely put some pressure on Mo Ruyue.

If Mo Ruyue still wanted to find trouble for Qin Shi, she would really report her to the Yamen. Maybe the Qin family could also get a few witnesses to prove that everything was just an unintentional mistake of Qin Shi’s heartache for her dead son.

Mo Ruyue looked deeply at Madam Wang a few times. She didn’t expect that this submissive second branch’s daughter-in-law who had been hiding behind Madam Qin would actually have such deep thoughts and means.

With just a few short words, she had already turned the situation around a little.

Mo Ruyue had already noticed the reaction of some villagers. On their faces, there was no longer any expression of watching a show, but pity for the Qin Family.

In other words, this Wang Shi was deliberately showing her weakness, pretending to be weak to eat the Tiger. Even when she was suffering from Qin Xu’s domestic violence and Qin Shi’s indifference and abuse, she had never shown her true thoughts and abilities.

So, what was she waiting for? If it wasn’t for this sudden incident today, when would the Wang family’s scandal break out? Or would they just keep quiet and never break out?

Even though so many thoughts flashed through Mo Ruyue’s mind, only a moment had passed in reality.

She only sneered at the behavior of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and said sarcastically, “So, just because you’re worried about the Qin family’s reputation, you can come and ruin my innocence and reputation?”

“You can come to my door to make trouble in broad daylight, curse me, and even drag other innocent people into the water? Could it be that my reputation isn’t a reputation, other people’s reputation isn’t a reputation, but your Qin family’s reputation is precious and can’t be hurt, and you’re even willing to use unscrupulous means to protect it?”

In terms of killing skills, Mo Ruyue was definitely the best of the best. Similarly, in terms of eloquence, she was not any worse than her killing skills.

Therefore, these words were also a chain of events. They took the opportunity to dismantle the sympathy of the villagers caused by the Wang family’s words just now, and re-defined the Qin family’s seemingly reasonable behavior as “unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals.”

Madam Wang was stunned. She didn’t expect her attack to be so easily resolved by Mo Ruyue.

A considerable portion of the villagers who had once again leaned towards the Qin Family had once again leaned towards Mo Ruyue.

Even so, there were still some people who did not like Mo Ruyue for various reasons. They still insisted that the Qin Family’s way of doing things was a small mistake. They would not be chased down and beaten so badly that they did not even leave a way out for the other party.

Thus, some people began to support the Qin Family and spoke out for justice.

“I say, Lady Qin, old Lady Qin is still your mother-in-law. Even if you have separated from the Qin family, she is still your late husband’s mother! Back then, Qin Ming was extremely filial. If he knew that you were forcing old Lady Qin today, would he let you go?”

“That’s right, Lady Qin, if you want us to talk, you should be lenient. Old lady Qin was just anxious and said something you didn’t like to hear. Now that you know it’s a misunderstanding, just let her apologize to you!”

“Hmph, in my opinion, this is an opportunity for revenge. It wasn’t the first day old Lady Qin and Lady Qin didn’t get along, especially since old Lady Qin was the mother-in-law. No matter what, Lady Qin was the one at a disadvantage. So now that she’s in the right, she’s not going to let it go.”

Everyone started to discuss. Some people stood on the side of supporting the Qin Family, but there were also some who spoke for Mo Ruyue.

It was just that a woman’s reputation and integrity were also very important. There were even people who committed suicide because of their reputation and integrity being destroyed. If old Lady Qin’s words were to spread outside, how could Mo Ruyue raise her head in the future? She would be poked in the back and smashed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The public was right, and the woman was right. They had thrown the real two parties aside, as if they were outsiders and bystanders.

Mo Ruyue had only heard a few words and lost her patience. She didn’t want to waste too much time on this matter.

“Fellow villagers, if you want to argue about who is right or wrong, I can give you a chance.”

Mo Ruyue cleared her throat and attracted everyone’s attention with one sentence.

“This matter has developed to this point. It’s no longer a matter of me, Mo Ruyue, alone. It also involves the gentleman inside and the reputation of the Old Imperial Physician of Huichun Hall.”

“Since everyone wants to clear things up, let’s go to the court and find the magistrate to judge. When the time comes, we’ll determine who’s right and who’s wrong, so that we can shut everyone’s mouths. What do you think of this suggestion?”

Speaking of which, Mo Ruyue had a grudge with the County Magistrate now. If they were to talk about who would be disadvantaged in court, it would naturally be her.

But now that Du Zhongheng and the old Imperial Physician were involved, this matter was different. Even if the County Magistrate didn’t put Du Zhongheng in his eyes, he didn’t dare to look down on the Old Imperial Physician.

Although Mo Ruyue had used the method of going to see an official several times on Qin Shi, it had been tried and tested. It was still very useful. This time was no exception.

As soon as Qin Shi heard that she was going to see an official, her expression immediately changed.

“You want to see an official for such a small matter? Do you think the government officials are your servants?

Although her words were sarcastic, she didn’t dare to agree with Mo Ruyue’s words at all because she knew that if she dared to agree, Mo Ruyue would definitely drag her to see the officials without hesitation.

That little wench didn’t take soft or hard approach and was very difficult to deal with.
