177 Dealing With the Court

After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she turned around and left the valley. When she looked back, only one wolf head was sticking out of the cave. It was the black wolf king’s. The other wolves did not follow.

Finally relieved, Mo Ruyue quickened his pace and began to run down the mountain.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Da Bao looking in her direction anxiously. As soon as he saw her, he immediately came up to her.

“Mother, you’ve finally come down the mountain! What delayed you today? There’s almost no time!”

!!

He knew that his mother was going to have a lawsuit with his grandmother today. If his mother was absent from such an important matter, then wouldn’t she be gossiped about again?

“We’ll talk about this when I come back. I’m going to the Liu family to get the carriage and go to the county first. Let’s go.”

This time, Mo Ruyue wasn’t going to the county by herself. She was bringing her babies along. After all, this matter involved their private school teacher. No matter how much Mo Ruyue didn’t want them to be involved, they couldn’t avoid it.

“Mother, let’s go directly to the village entrance. Grandpa Liu has already prepared the carriage. My younger brother and sister are also waiting in the carriage. They’re just waiting for you.”

When Da Bao said this, Mo Ruyue stopped in her tracks and glanced at Da Bao discreetly.

Now, he did things in a proper way and considered everything thoroughly. He really looked like a big brother. Even if one day she couldn’t be by their side, she believed that he would take better care of his younger siblings.

“Alright, let’s go to the village entrance.”

She turned around and jogged towards the village entrance with Da Bao.

As expected, Uncle Liu had already set up the carriage. The four babies were sitting in the carriage, each holding a paper bag in their hands and chewing on a fragrant bun.

When they saw their big brother coming over with their mother, they quickly stopped and called out to Mo Ruyue, “Mother, mother, come quickly, we’re just waiting for you!”

Mo Ruyue jogged over and said to Uncle Liu, “Uncle Liu, I’ve troubled you. I’ll drive the carriage, you can go back.”

However, Uncle Liu pulled the reins back to his chest and shook his head. “This time, I’ll go with you.”

“Uncle Liu, what are you doing?”

Mo Ruyue didn’t expect him to say this and couldn’t take the reins from Uncle Liu’s hands.

When you go to court, someone has to take care of this carriage. Besides, didn’t I take the children to court the last time? ”

When Uncle Liu said this, Mo Ruyue found it hard to reject him. After all, he had good intentions. Although it was only a few streets from the carriage to the mansion, it was indeed inconvenient to walk around with five babies.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Uncle Liu.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t act coy and agreed directly. With the current relationship between the two families, there was no need to be too clear about it.

After all, she came down the mountain a little late. Although she rushed, it was still a little late when she arrived at the magistrate’s office.

The main entrance was surrounded by three layers of people, all waiting to see the hall trial today.

This wasn’t Mo Ruyue’s first time in court, but this was the most exciting one.

It was rare to see a daughter-in-law sue her mother-in-law in this world. Although Mo Ruyue was not the first, she was definitely the most eye-catching one.

Which family’s daughter-in-law would show herself in public like her? First, she fought with the county magistrate’s wife, then, she went to the Medical Hall to save people, and in the blink of an eye, she brought her mother-in-law to court. She was simply providing all kinds of topics of conversation for all the people in the county.

Seeing Mo Ruyue get off the carriage with the babies, everyone wanted to crowd around her again, but she raised her hand to stop them.

“I’m sorry, I’m with the babies. Please don’t squeeze them.”

She was now “notorious,” and everyone was very respectful of her. Now that she was blocking them, they subconsciously stopped.

“Lady Qin, why are you so late today? The County Magistrate has been waiting inside for half a day.”

“Yeah, some people were still wondering if you didn’t dare to come at the last minute. You were still jumping in anger just now, but why aren’t you saying anything now?”

“Do you even need to ask? It must be because he saw that lady Qin came, so he didn’t dare to say anything! How much courage can that kind of despicable person have? it’s already good enough that he didn’t run away on the spot!”

Everyone discussed and blocked Mo Ruyue’s path again. It was only when the bailiffs from the government office heard the noise outside and came out to check that Mo Ruyue and the others were successfully brought to the court.

The county magistrate had been waiting for Mo Ruyue for a long time, but he had not arrived. He had impatiently gone to the study in the backyard. When he received the news, he returned to the hall. He had not even sat down at the court table when he had already spoken sarcastic words.

“So Madam Qin still remembers that there is a court hearing today? Yesterday, I saw that you were so insistent on closing the case on the same day that I thought you really cared about your reputation. Why are you so late when your mother-in-law was summoned today?”

Mo Ruyue had long expected that the county magistrate would use this as an excuse to make things difficult for her. However, although she had a reason for doing so, she couldn’t tell him that she had delayed the court hearing by saving a pack of wolves, right?

Originally, everyone was still looking forward to Mo Ruyue’s explanation as usual. They didn’t expect her to only frown slightly and not say anything.

This time, they were all stunned. This Lady Qin was someone who would never be willing to suffer losses. Now, she actually didn’t even defend herself. Could it be that the county magistrate was right?

But now, although Lady Qin didn’t talk back, her shoulders were straight and her eyes were firm. She didn’t look guilty, so he would just watch first in case there was a reversal.

Although the county magistrate had only managed to vent a small amount of anger, it was far from enough for him. Compared to the humiliation that Mo Ruyue had brought him, it was nothing.

He slammed the gavel and said coldly, “Those who are kneeling in the court, report your names. Is there any solid evidence of what matter is being brought to court?”

Only Qin Shi and the four members of the second branch of the Qin family knelt in the court. Mo Ruyue, on the other hand, stood straight with her five babies and had no intention of kneeling at all.

The county magistrate’s words were also a reminder for her to kneel down and answer. However, Mo Ruyue had never knelt down to anyone before. Now that she was the plaintiff, it was even more impossible for her to kneel down and answer like Qin Shi.

His words didn’t scare Mo Ruyue, but scared Qin Shi instead. She immediately fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice, “I’m a villager from the Qin Village. I don’t know what crime I’ve committed, but I’m being sued!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Old Master, this old woman has been wronged!”

She kowtowed as she spoke, and in a few moves, her bun was undone. Her hair was in a mess, and she looked very disheveled.

The four people of the second branch of the Qin family had never seen such a scene before. The “mighty” roars of the government office runners during the hall promotion had already scared them out of their wits. Now, they could only kneel with Qin Shi and curl up into a ball, not even daring to raise their heads.

On the other hand, Mo Ruyue’s five babies all had their chests puffed up high and their expressions were firm and solemn. When they were compared, it was obvious who was better.

“Lady Qin, this Qin Shi is your mother-in-law. What crime has she committed that you have to make things difficult for her? Why don’t you tell this official in detail!”
