163 Looking for Trouble
But now that the magistrate was silent, he didnât dare to ask. He lowered his head again and glanced at the magistrateâs reaction from the corner of his eye.
âGrand Master, give the people you found last time a new mission.â
The magistrateâs sudden words startled the advisor, but he immediately reacted after hearing the orders. The magistrate must have thought of another plan.
âYou do it. Iâll tell you what the mission is, but you canât go straight to those people. No matter how many detours you take, even if itâs a little troublesome, you have to do it properly. There canât be any mistakes in this, understand?â
The county magistrateâs expression was very solemn. The method this time would probably deal a heavy blow to Mo Ruyue. After all, a womanâs reputation and integrity were more important than her life.
Now, if Mo Ruyue, as a widow, had a bad moral conduct, it would be a light punishment to be pointed out by others. If by any chance they added oil to the fire and made things worse, perhaps the Qin Clan would not be able to tolerate her anymore.
The clanâs lynching was much crueler and more cold-blooded than the officialâs. The county magistrate himself was a son of the clan, so he was well aware of how strict the clan rules were.
He didnât believe that Mo Ruyue would be so lucky to escape this time.
âAuntie, your pulse is slightly weak, your complexion is pale, you are tired, short of breath, and lazy to speak. All these symptoms show that you are lacking in qi and blood. This is a common problem for us women. You have to take care of your qi while nourishing your blood.â
âIâll give you a prescription for medicinal supplements, along with a few herbal dishes. If you persist in recuperating for a period of time, your condition will improve significantly.â
As Mo Ruyue spoke to the woman sitting at the table, her hand was also quickly writing the prescription.
In addition to the prescription, there was also a recipe for food supplements.
After the woman saw it, she clicked her tongue in wonder and said, âLady Qin, other doctors only give prescriptions after theyâre done, but youâre even taking care of what they eat? Iâve never seen such a responsible doctor like you.â
âAuntie, other doctors are also very responsible but this medicinal cuisine is not what they are good at and it is not good to write it for you. You see, which doctor in our Huichun Hall doesnât treat the patient seriously and responsibly? This is our duty as doctors.â
The woman also agreed, âYes, yes, yes. Madam Qin, you see what I said just now. It really didnât sound good. All doctors are responsible for us common people. Itâs just that we women are good at cooking, so we made this medicinal cuisine.â
Mo Ruyue saw that she was a little embarrassed, so she tried to comfort her with a few more words and smooth things over. It just so happened that she had finished writing her prescription and recipe, so she handed it to her assistant, Yun Cen, to get the medicine and sent the woman away.
Before the next patient arrived, Mo Ruyue took the cup on the table and drank a mouthful of water. She didnât even have time to drink a mouthful of water after a whole morning of consultation.
Back then, she had worked so hard because she had to go on a mission. Who would have thought that the hand that used to kill people with a gun would now be doing the work of treating and saving people? The tables had really turned.
Just as she was thinking about it, her vision turned dark and she sat down at the table alone.
Mo Ruyue gathered her thoughts and said, âWhere do you feel uncomfortable? Put your wrist on the cushion, Iâll check your pulse.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLady Qin, youâre a Divine Doctor, donât tell me you donât know what silk thread diagnosis is?â
That person suddenly dodged to the side when Mo Ruyueâs hand reached out. Then, he asked a question, and his tone seemed to be somewhat impolite.
Mo Ruyue raised her head and glanced at him. He was a rather young man. His long cloth robe was washed clean and he looked like a scholar. However, there was no square scarf on his head, and his hair was tied into a bun.
When he saw Mo Ruyue looking over, he didnât avoid her gaze, letting her clearly see the disdain in his eyes.
âMen and women should not touch each other. Although you are a doctor, you should also know that it is a big taboo for men and women to keep their distance. But you are so unscrupulous in touching peopleâs skin, donât you know shame?â
As soon as he said this, the entire Huichun Hall suddenly quieted down. Everyone turned their heads and looked over in surprise.
It had been a month since Mo Ruyue started giving medical services in Huichun Hall. She had seen hundreds of patients. Even if some people questioned her medical skills, no one had ever accused her of shamelessly taking someoneâs pulse with âskin to skinâ.
This person opened his mouth and immediately put such a big hat on him. Obviously, he was not here for consultation, but specifically to scold people.
Mo Ruyue raised an eyebrow. The expression on her face was originally just a little indifferent, but this time, there was a faint smile.
âThatâs an interesting statement. My two fingers on your wrist are âskin to skin?â If your mother were to hold your arm, what would that be called? Skin to skin kiss?â
âWho is your teacher? Wouldnât you be so ashamed that youâd commit suicide by banging your head against the wall after hearing you use such foul words?â
Her mouth wasnât just for show. She definitely wouldnât be polite to people who were obviously here to stir up trouble.
âYou! Not only are you not ashamed, but you are also slandering me? Itâs no wonder that you would find such a deviant scum to be your childrenâs teacher. Thereâs a reason for it, itâs just like your roots!â
The young manâs face turned red from Mo Ruyueâs rebuking. He stammered for a long time before he managed to say something. It was also this sentence that made Mo Ruyueâs eyes narrow slightly.
âSee, youâre feeling guilty, right? I was right!â
When the young man saw that Mo Ruyue actually didnât refute his words, he suddenly had confidence. He straightened his back and began to scold her contemptuously.
âDo you dare to let everyone know who youâve hired to be your childrenâs private tutor? At first, I was wondering if you didnât know about that personâs misdeeds or if you were pretending not to know. Now I know, youâre the same as that scum!â
âYou should let more people see your true face. Youâre just a disobedient and lecherous wanderer!â
Before he could finish his sentence, an unusually clear slap was heard, echoing throughout the hall. The man who had spoken was sent flying. Fortunately, he was blocked by the table and chair next to him, so he did not fly too far away.
Even so, the right side of his face was visibly swollen, and his right eye was squeezed until there was only a gap left.
He opened his mouth to speak, but he spat out a mouthful of blood with two teeth in it. This scene stunned everyone.
Mo Ruyue had already stood up, and her pretty face was frosty as she stared at the man on the ground. She had already restrained herself when she attacked just now. If she had used all her strength with her wrist, she would have directly broken his neck.
âYou claim to follow the teachings of etiquette, but are the teachings of etiquette the ones that taught you to hurt people with your words? When did you start learning to be indecent without a word? Youâve learned so much that youâve probably swallowed it all into a dogâs stomach. You have a human mouth, but you canât speak a single human word. Itâs already too good of me to just give you a slap!â
