I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies Chapter 296 – 296 A Noble’s Token

296 A Noble’s Token

She checked the previous day’s record book and didn’t find anything wrong with the diet. Then she checked the food residue and dregs, but there were no traces of tampering.

It seemed that yesterday’s “beating the grass to alert the snake” had achieved initial results. At least, the food and medicine had stopped for the time being. However, the strange fragrance in the house was still there, indicating that the mole in the house still had no intention of stopping.

During Mo Ruyue’s treatment, Madam Bai had wanted to say something countless times but stopped. She looked at Mo Ruyue’s face but didn’t say anything in the end.

After the acupuncture, Madam Bai was covered in sweat. Although she had been lying down without moving, she felt as if she had been walking outside for a long time. Her whole body was sore and tired, and she did not even have the strength to move a finger.

“Acupuncture can remove the damp and cold qi in your body. It’s easy to get a headache, chest tightness, and weakness when you’re wet. The sweat you’re sweating now is a manifestation of the damp qi in your body, and it’s not even a drop in the bucket.”

“Remember, after every acupuncture session, you must not suffer from the cold. Otherwise, the moisture will flow backward and your condition will worsen. Then, my efforts will be in vain.”

Mo Ruyue kept the medicine box as she warned.

“Yes, Lady Qin is right. I was too impulsive yesterday.”

Madam Bai knew that Mo Ruyue was using her words to provoke her. Yesterday, in order to plead for Bai Shijiao, she had personally gone out to look for her, which made Mo Ruyue very dissatisfied. This was also considered a kind of uncooperative action, and indeed, it was a taboo for Mo Ruyue.

“Okay, then have a good rest. I’ll come back tomorrow to perform acupuncture on you.”

As Mo Ruyue spoke, she carried her medicine box and prepared to leave.

“Qin… Lady Qin, are you going back now?”

Madam Bai thought of an excuse and asked in a roundabout way.

“Of course not. I still have patients to treat. How can I just leave?”

Mo Ruyue’s words caused Madam Bai’s eyes to light up. She meant that…

Bai Shijiao lay on the pillow and turned her head to look at the door from time to time. However, she was blocked by the screen and could not see anything.

“Miss, Lady Qin is still performing acupuncture on Madam. Lady Qin is still treating Madam and it will take some time to end. Don’t worry, Lady Qin will definitely come to treat you.”

Qi Qiao tried to persuade her, but her heart was also beating like a drum.

It was said that Lady Qin was a person with a bad temper. Although miss had apologized to her personally yesterday, it was hard to say if she would be forgiven.

However, she could only persuade her with kind words now, for fear that her young miss’ mood would be depressed and affect her health.

“No, you’d better go over there and watch. If Lady Qin comes out and you didn’t see her and missed her, it would seem that we don’t know how to welcome her and don’t know etiquette.”

Bai Shijiao was still worried and urged Qi Qiao to keep watch.

“Yes, Miss. You can wait here with peace of mind. This servant will go and see if Lady Qin is done.”

Qi Qiao obeyed her order and left. She opened the door and didn’t go far before she immediately turned back and ran while shouting, “Young Miss, Young Miss, Lady Qin is here!”

“What!”

Bai Shijiao wanted to sit up immediately, but she was too fat, like a mountain of meat. Her limbs flailed for a long time but she could not get up. In the end, she could only shout outside, “What are you doing back here? Hurry up and go welcome her!”

Qi Qiao heard this and returned to her senses. She muttered two “oh” and turned to run out. In this time difference, Mo Ruyue had already reached Bai Shijiao’s door.

“Don’t be so busy. Be more honest and obedient in the future. That’s better than anything else.”

Her tone was still cold. If it was in the past, Bai Shijiao would have been hopping mad. However, she did not even dare to rebut now. She only replied softly, “Lady Qin, I know I’m wrong. I’ll listen to you in the future.”

Mo Ruyue did not reply and went straight into the house. She washed her hands, changed her clothes, and began to perform acupuncture on Bai Shijiao.

By the time Mo Ruyue finished all the treatment and was ready to leave the Bai manor, it was already past noon.

When the father and son of the Bai family heard that she was leaving, they rushed over to ask her to stay for dinner.

“Lady Qin, if you don’t stay for a meal before leaving, it would seem that my Bai family doesn’t know the rules. No, no matter what, we have to have a meal!”

Bai Jinshang, the head of the Bai family, insisted that Mo Ruyue stay for lunch before leaving. They did not expect that she would really continue to treat Bai Shijiao and had already given up hope.

“Mister Bai, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I just promised my family that I’d be back for lunch, so I won’t be staying here any longer.”

This was the reason why Mo Ruyue insisted on riding back and forth. The most important thing now was to spend more time with the babies.

“Alright then. Since that’s the case, I won’t insist. However, the Bai family will never forget Lady Qin’s great kindness to our Bai family. Please accept this.”

Bai Jinshang handed over a piece of green belt buckle, which was of excellent color. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was definitely expensive.

“This is a token of my Bai family’s noble. In the future, when Lady Qin is out, if you have any requests, just hang this on your waist and someone will come to find you.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t stand on ceremony. After accepting it, he mounted his horse and left the Bai manor.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the new year would be coming soon.

The children’s results in the private school’s year-end examination were extremely outstanding, firmly occupying the first and second place in their class.

Even Qin Qingwan had taken the male class’s test and scored first place. Lin Zhiyuan was full of praise for her.

Seeing that the private school was about to be on holiday, and that the long holiday this time would last until the beginning of spring next year, Lin Zhiyuan asked the babies to pass a message to Mo Ruyue, saying that he had something to discuss with her.

So one day, after Mo Ruyue finished the treatment of the mother and daughter of the Bai family, on the way back from the county, she turned into another fork on the road and went to the private school in the neighboring village.

She purposely skipped past lunchtime and arrived at the private school without disturbing Lin Zhiyuan’s rest as much as possible.

When he heard that Mo Ruyue had come, Lin Zhiyuan immediately came out to see her.

“Mister Lin, may I know why you’ve called me here?”

After Mo Ruyue gave a brief greeting, she went straight to the point.

“Lady Qin, this matter is also related to the future of the babies, so one or two words can’t finish. Why don’t you come in and have a chat in the lounge?”

The lounge was where Lin Zhiyuan would meet with the parents of the students. It seemed like he was planning to have a long talk.

“Mister Lin, don’t you have to teach the students in the afternoon?”

Although Mo Ruyue knew that the students had already finished their exams, his schedule was still quite full before the official holiday. He heard from the babies that he had to explain the exam questions and arrange the next year’s lesson content, etc., So his schedule was quite full.

“The content of the class is almost done. These days, I have been talking with the students’ parents. After all, in my private school, 11 or 12-year-old students will go to the city’s academy to study. If they are unable to afford the book or school fees, I’m afraid they will have to drop out of school.”

“That’s why I always call the parents of the students here to discuss the future of the children.”

After Lin Zhiyuan said this, Mo Ruyue understood. This was the same as filling in the application form for junior high school and senior high school. It would determine the next turn of the child’s fate, so it was indeed necessary to consider and discuss it carefully.

“Alright, please go ahead, Mister Lin.”
