I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 222 – 222 Trouble Comes From The Mouth

222 Trouble Comes From The Mouth

“Aiya, I knew it. this son is unfilial. He doesn’t even care about his mother’s safety. Although ten taels of silver is not a small amount, it can still be gathered.”

“I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Look, isn’t this a living example? This old woman is already so old, how can she endure the suffering of being in prison? Perhaps after the original sentence, she would not be able to go through any more.”

The discussions were like steel needles stabbing Qin Shi’s body. She couldn’t believe that Qin Xu really didn’t plan to care about her anymore. Even if he was just pretending to be poor, he still didn’t want to show his face. Could it be that he really planned to let her die in prison?

Qin Shi bit her lips until her mouth was filled with the taste of rust. Then, she heard a familiar voice.

“Who said I don’t care about my mother? Which one of you has such a long tongue? Why don’t you use a pair of scissors to mix it with some wine?”

“Son! My son, you’ve come!”

Qin Shi’s eyes brightened and immediately became spirited. She was originally sitting on the ground, but she didn’t know where she got the strength to turn over and kneel. She looked in the direction of the voice.

The crowd dispersed to the sides and saw Qin Xu walking over with his head held high, followed by Madam Wang and the two children.

“Mother, are you alright? Why were you sitting on the ground? Did someone bully you?”

As soon as Qin Xu came over, he immediately went forward to help Qin Shi up. He carefully sized her up and even patted off the dust on her clothes.

“Son, they said you’re unfilial and won’t come to give Mother the fine silver. Mother won’t listen to their nonsense. Look, you’re here! ”

As Qin Shi spoke, she also swept her gaze across the crowd to show off her might.

“Mother, how can I not care about you? Even if I have to sell everything I have, I have to pay the fine so that you can avoid a longer prison sentence!”

Although Qin Xu’s words were very beautiful, the wavering of his eyes showed that things were not that simple.

Mo Ruyue took in everything. She watched Qin Xu’s performance calmly and wanted to see how he would deny the fine money under the premise that he had already established the image of a filial son.

It was impossible to deny all of it, so he thought that it was just a trick to make a fuss about the number. It was nothing more than a trick to cry about being poor or pretend to be an accident, but there was nothing new to play.

Before the mother and son could finish their act, they were interrupted by Constable Wang impatiently.

“If you don’t want to be gossiped about, then come earlier. It’s not like you’re so far away. If you can’t even get up early, what’s the point of pretending to be a kind mother and a filial son? ”

Although Constable Wang was snobbish and had a sharp tongue, he hit the nail on the head with his words. The mother and son, who had been a little engrossed in their acting, were doused with a basin of cold water.

“Qin Shi, your apology still hasn’t been accepted by Lady Qin, and you haven’t handed in the fine silver. I don’t have time to waste with you here!”

He urged again and snorted coldly at Qin Xu, not putting this family in his eyes at all.

“Eldest Daughter-in-law, Mother has let you down before. I didn’t find out the truth and came to you to ask for an explanation. Mother is here to apologize to you. For Eldest Brother’s sake, don’t hold it against Mother anymore.”

Qin Shi knew that she had to get through this apology. Helplessly, she could only bow her head to Mo Ruyue again.

This time, Mo Ruyue simply didn’t say anything. She just raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile that wasn’t a smile. Anyone could see the ridicule in the corners of her eyes.

“It’s mother’s fault, what else do you want me to do? Do you want me to die here and apologize to you?”

Seeing that Mo Ruyue still did not accept it, Qin Shi was a little anxious. She thought to herself that this little b*tch would not take this opportunity to make her apologize a hundred or a thousand times before she would stop.

“You didn’t explain the reason for your apology. Why? my innocence has been slandered. Am I not qualified to clarify it in public?”

Mo Ruyue directly pointed out the fact that Qin Shi was trying her best to muddle through. This was the reason why she had not given up. Now that she had made it clear in public, she was not afraid that someone would come out and make a big fuss about this in the future.

“Alright, it was Mother’s mistake to say that you and Mr. Du are not clear. the two of you are innocent and there is nothing between the two of you. Mother is overthinking. Please forgive Mother for the sake of Eldest Brother. ”

Qin Shi had experienced Mo Ruyue’s stubbornness before. Not to mention that the initiative was in her hands now. If she couldn’t get what she wanted, today’s matter would not end.

So she still obediently followed Mo Ruyue’s request and clarified in front of everyone that she was accused of having an affair.

“Trouble comes from the mouth, I hope you will remember this lesson and remind everyone.”

Mo Ruyue accepted Qin Shi’s apology with one sentence. At the same time, she pointed out to the onlookers that this was the ultimate purpose of her insistence on finishing this lawsuit.

“Alright, since Lady Qin has already accepted Madam Qin’s apology, then this constable can go back and report to the big master after paying the fine.”

As Constable Wang spoke, he looked at Qin Xu and waited for him to pay.

Sure enough, Qin Xu took out a money bag from his arms. It was full, as if it was filled with money.

When she saw the money bag, a touch of surprise flashed in Qin Shi’s eyes, but she felt even more heartache.

Those were all shining silver. Ten taels of silver could provide her with a good life for a long time. Now, it was going to go to Mo Ruyue for nothing. The money she earned was a hundred times more than these ten taels of silver!

Qin Xu took the money bag and walked in front of Mo Ruyue. As he handed it to her, he moved closer to her, as if he wanted to whisper something to her.

Mo Ruyue took a step back, looked at Qin Xu and said, “Second Brother seems to have something to say?”

Qin Xu was stunned. He really wanted to say a few words to her in secret, but he didn’t expect her to expose him.

“It’s nothing much. I just wanted to remind Sister-in-law to keep the money well.”

He responded with an embarrassed smile, but his expression was not as calm as when he had just appeared.

“Since we’ve received the fine, we’ll naturally keep it well. According to the rules just now, we’ll first count the items in front of everyone, then write a receipt for Constable Wang to bring them back. Then, this matter will be considered over.”

Mo Ruyue looked at him and knew that the amount of money in the bag was definitely wrong. She immediately said in a clear voice and went to untie the money bag.

“Do you still want to call it out in public?”

Qin Xu was taken aback. He had come late earlier and didn’t make it in time to see Wang Luosheng pay the fine silver. Naturally, he thought that as long as the money was handed over to Mio Ruyue, it would be over.

Now that he had suddenly heard this news, he immediately became a little anxious.

“Of course, he has to do it in front of everyone. Otherwise, if he can’t explain it clearly, even Constable Wang won’t be able to report back.”

Mo Ruyue had deliberately mentioned Constable Wang to show the fairness of the magistrate’s case, but her real intention was to shift the conflict to the government so that Qin Xu couldn’t make any trouble with her.

That constable Wang was a prideful person. as long as he was caught, even if it was not his business, he would still hold up his reputation.
