I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 253 – 253 Remedy

253 Remedy

“Sir, Lady Qin is not willing to explain her actions and let the rumors spread. That’s why the soldiers’ families are disgusted with her and unanimously resist her.”

Advisor Qiao didn’t relay Mo Ruyue’s words. Instead, he exaggerated it and complained to Duanmu Xize.

He felt that Lady Qin was irresponsible and arrogant. He really couldn’t see what was worth for her to be so valued by the magistrate, even to help him plan.

“Although this seems like something she would do, it also depends on what it is. Lady Qin must have her reasons for doing this. Didn’t she tell you what she thought?”

Duanmu Xize asked again.

“She…”

Advisor Qiao was stunned. He did not expect the magistrate to speak on behalf of Lady Qin. This meant that he had made a mistake in his judgment of the situation just now. It was obvious that the magistrate attached more importance to that woman than he had imagined.

“What’s wrong? Did she say something?”

Duanmu Xize could tell from his subordinate’s expression that something was wrong. His eyes immediately narrowed.

It seemed that he was too good to his subordinates. Each and every one of them had their own plans and actually dared to deceive him.

When Advisor Qiao saw Duanmu Xize’s expression, he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately knelt down and said, “Your Excellency, when I went to ask that sister, Lady Qin, she only said that she had already screened out all the soldiers with physical problems. If anyone doubts it, the doctors in the medical center can do a follow-up examination to see if she is lying or misdiagnosed. The rumors will naturally be blown away.”

“I feel that her words are too arrogant, and at the same time, it is a repeated waste of medical resources. You have worked so hard to pave the way for her, but she responded so carelessly. It really does not match your good intentions!”

Duanmu Xize’s seven orifices were smoking when he heard this. He practically squeezed out the words from the gaps between his teeth and asked, “You didn’t follow Lady Qin’s suggestion just based on your judgment? That’s why you allowed the rumors to spread like this?”

Advisor Qiao did not dare to reply, but even if he did not, the answer was right in front of him.

“Idiot! How did I get such an idiot like you to be my advisor?”

Duanmu Xize couldn’t help but sweep all the papers and brushes off the table.

If this idiot hadn’t acted on his own initiative and followed Mo Ruyue’s suggestion, things wouldn’t have developed like this.

There was no doubt about Mo Ruyue’s medical skills. As long as she said that she had already screened out the sick soldiers, then there must be a problem with them. As long as the other doctors diagnosed them and confirmed that her words were correct, the unfavorable situation would be immediately reversed.

What did it mean for a doctor to be able to make a 100% accurate diagnosis in such a short period of time? Even a fool would know the answer.

Duanmu Xize wanted to kill someone. This time, he didn’t just want to create momentum for Mo Ruyue. More importantly, he wanted to add flowers to his reputation among the people.

But now, such a great opportunity had been destroyed by an Idiot’s self-righteousness!

Advisor Qiao knew that he had caused trouble and ruined the magistrate’s plans. He could not even beg for mercy now. He even fell to the ground and tried to curl up into a ball to reduce the chance of being noticed.

The magistrate was usually very easy to talk to, but once they failed their task, they had to pray that he was in a good mood that day and that the task they failed was not that important.

But now, it was clear that this good luck did not befall him.

“What are you still kneeling here for? Aren’t you going to quickly remedy it according to Lady Qin’s method?”

Duanmu Xize glanced at the curled-up figure on the ground from the corner of his eye and couldn’t help but roar again.

Advisor Qiao was so shocked that he trembled. He quickly stood up and replied while retreating out. “This subordinate will do it, will do it!”

He stumbled out of the door, but when he turned around, he bumped into someone.

“Sir, please calm down. I have already arranged for someone to take care of this matter. The soldiers who were previously selected are now being examined. They all have different degrees of illnesses, and none of them were misdiagnosed.”

The person did not help Advisor Qiao up and instead allowed him to fall backward. At the same time, he reported to Duanmu Xize as if nothing had happened.

“Good, as expected. We still have to depend on Mr. Ye at the critical moment.”

Duanmu Xize nodded his head repeatedly and praised the man who had just walked in. The man who had walked in front of him and bowed was Ye Jingzhi, who had left and returned.

“Sir, you flatter me. This subordinate only went to make up for my mistake. This matter is not only related to Lady Qin’s reputation, but also related to Sir’s painstaking efforts to love the people like your children. Naturally, it can not be regarded as child’s play.”

Ye Jingzhi humbly said, and conveniently delivered a flattering, yet he appeared so natural and without any sign of flattery.

“Alas, if my men are as perceptive and dedicated as Mr. Ye, how much trouble can they help me save? It’s a pity that those fools are just a burden, and I have to clean up their mess for them? What’s the use of having such trash!”

Duanmu Xize cursed a few more words, but they were all for Ye Jingzhi to hear. He could consider it as him trying to ease Ye Jingzhi’s mind for the small gap between the two of them.

Ye Jingzhi only smiled and didn’t respond to Duanmu Xize’s words. He also didn’t continue to be humble and appeared to be unaffected by the favor and humiliation.

“Mr. Ye, it’s all thanks to you this time. It’s also been hard on you. I wonder what other matters you have for me?”

Although Duanmu Xize had praised Ye Jingzhi, he had long been wary of this person, so when he spoke to him, there was a faint sense of alienation.

Ye Jingzhi was such a smart person. How could he not understand the meaning behind Duanmu Xize’s words? He had originally planned to leave and find another branch. However, after re-witnessing Mo Ruyue’s abilities, he suddenly changed his mind.

This woman’s ability was greater than he had imagined. If he had the opportunity to persuade her to cooperate with him, they would definitely be a good pair of partners.

It was difficult for a widow with five children to survive in this world. Even if she was capable, she still needed a man to rely on.

And he was the best choice.

However, the slightly troublesome thing now was that Mo Ruyue had a kind of vigilance and disgust towards him for some unknown reason. This was not good for his plan.

So what he had to do now was to make use of the opportunity created by Duanmu Xize to take the first step to get close to Mo Ruyue.

After learning that the family refused to come to her for a consultation, Mo Ruyue didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, she asked the medicine boy in the medical hall to bring her some tea and snacks.

“I didn’t have time to eat my fill at noon, but now I have the chance to make up for it.”

She said in a self-deprecating manner as she ate the dessert.
