83 Madamâs Illness Acts Up Again
However, he thought that he understood his wife very well. He thought that no one would be able to surpass her. When the time came, he would just coax her. It was impossible for her to cry and fight with him.
Seeing the county magistrateâs confident look, Constable Liaoâs lips curled into an ambiguous smile.
Mo Ruyueâs good days did not last long. Suddenly, one day, she saw Constable Liao standing outside her door, and her eyes darkened.
âConstable Liao, why are you here again?â
âPlease visit the city, Madamâs illness is acting up again.â
Mo Ruyue immediately retorted, âImpossible! Iâm very clear about the effect of my treatment. As long as thereâs a possibility of a relapse, I wonât stop the treatment. Not to mention, sheâs taking medicine, bathing, and even applying ointment. How can it relapse?â
âIâm not sure about this. After all, I donât know medicine. Iâm only here to deliver this news and invite you to take a look. â
Constable Liao was still as calm as ever. No matter what Mo Ruyueâs attitude towards him was, he acted like he was just a messenger and a tool.
âAlright, itâs useless to say that. Iâll go and take a look.â
It wasnât that Mo Ruyue didnât think that this might be a trap, but even if it was a trap waiting for her, she had to take this trip.
So she packed up the medicine box, told the babies to look after the house, and went to put on the mule cart.
âLady Qin, I brought a carriage over, why bother to get your familyâs imperial carriage? If the treatment is complete, I will send you back today. If I canât make it in time, I will ensure you return tomorrow. â
Constable Liao looked at Mo Ruyueâs actions and frowned slightly. He had brought the carriage here to prevent Mo Ruyue from driving the carriage into the city. He didnât expect that she would still put on the carriage.
According to his ideal setting, Mo Ruyue should have stayed a night in the back of the Yamen. As long as she stayed, no matter what happened, she would never be able to clear her name.
However, Mo Ruyue was obviously trying her best to prevent this situation from happening. In other words, she had already sensed the county magistrateâs thoughts and was deliberately avoiding it.
âConstable Liao, I have five children, and the youngest is only three or four years old. Even if I have to rush back overnight, I have to come back. I canât let them spend the night at home alone.â
Mo Ruyue shook her head, but her hands didnât stop at all. While she was talking, she had already skillfully set up the carriage and urged Constable Liao to set off.
Seeing that his plan was about to be disrupted, Constable Liaoâs eyes darkened. However, he was not at that stage yet, so he could still get his plan back on track.
After Mo Ruyue arrived, she had not even entered the main house when she heard LiuWangshi berating the maidservant who was serving her.
âWhat did I say? You can only wear linen clothes now, not silk or chiffon. Look at what youâre holding. Youâre afraid that my condition wonât relapse, right?â
It was still his concubine Mei Xiang who led Mo Ruyue to the main room. After hearing the scolding from the main room, she turned her head and whispered to Mo Ruyue, âLady Qin, ever since Madamâs illness acted up, she has been unable to control her temper. If she gives you a hard time later, please bear with her. In the past, Madam would never be like this.â
Mo Ruyue didnât say anything, but she disapproved of Mei Xiangâs words in her heart.
What âMadam would never be like this in the pastâ? with Madam Liu Wangshiâs unpredictable temper, it would be strange if she didnât do this.
However, she couldnât be bothered to expose her in front of others, but if Liu Wangshi really wanted to vent her anger on her later, she wouldnât swallow her anger.
âMadam, Lady Qin is here.â
Mei Xiang entered the room first and reported to Liu Wangshi. Before she could finish her words, she heard Liu Wangshi say, âThen hurry up and invite her in. What are you waiting for?â
There was another round of chaos in the room, and the sound of a maidservant stopping Liu Wangshi from getting off the bed could be heard. Mo Ruyueâs footsteps paused, and then she walked into the room.
After going around the screen, Mo Ruyue saw Mrs. Liu Wangshi wrapped in a sackcloth, her hair disheveled as she sat on the bed. When she saw Mo Ruyue come in, she stared straight at her.
âLady Qin, youâre here? Didnât you say that it would only relapse next year? Look, just look at how many days it has been! Why is it like this again?â
Liu Wangshi stretched out her hand and pulled off the sackcloth covering her body, revealing a red rash. It had already been scratched by her, and was a ghastly sight.
Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to answer her. Instead, she walked over to observe the red rashes at a close distance. Then, she put down the first aid kit and put on the gazelle gloves.
âMadam, donât be so agitated. Let me check where the problem is. Iâll know how to solve it.â
Liu Wangshiâs entire body was trembling violently due to her emotional outburst. This made Mo Ruyueâs examination difficult, so she had to remind her.
âAlright, you must check it properly. You must cure me!â
Liu Wangshi said somewhat madly. Although she was still very emotional, she obediently lay down and cooperated with Mo Ruyueâs examination.
Before the examination, Mo Ruyue found an excuse to have Liu Wangshi ask Mei Xiang and the other maidservants to leave.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMadam, this isnât a relapse of your old illness. If Iâm not wrong, someone must have tampered with your medicinal soup or the medicine in the medicinal bath.â
After Mo Ruyue checked it a few times, she gave a conclusion with certainty.
âWhat? Youâre saying that someone wants to⦠Wuwu!â
Liu Wangshi had just shouted when Mo Ruyue covered her mouth.
âIf you want to alert the enemy now, just shout. By then, the person who harmed you will be on guard and wonât be able to be found.â
Mo Ruyue stared coldly at Liu Wangshi. She had thought that she was smart enough, but now she realized that she was also extremely stupid.
âHmmmâ¦â
Liu Wangshi used her eyes to signal that she wouldnât be impulsive anymore. After Mo Ruyue let go, she deliberately said coldly, âLady Qin, you have to give me an explanation. What do you mean you canât find out the cause of the relapse? After all, I paid you for your treatment. If you canât cure me, youâre giving me a reason as to why you canât find the cause. Do you think Iâm made of mud and have no temper?â
Her words were meant for the people outside to hear. After she finished, she lowered her voice and asked, âLady Qin, this⦠Whatâs going on? Could it be that someone close to me is trying to harm me?â
As she spoke, she looked around with fear in her eyes, especially at the door behind the screen, as if she was afraid that the person who wanted to harm her would suddenly break in.
âI still need to see the residue of the medicine you drank and the medicinal bath left behind to be more certain. However, from the current evidence⦠Itâs more likely that someone did something to it, because the condition of your skin is an allergic reaction.â
âNo, no! How is this possible? How could anyone harm me?â
