Chapter 538: Did You Raise Me?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
MO Ruyue’s mother rolled her eyes and shouted, “I was the one who sold you back then, not your father!”
“Why are you so heartless?
“She didn’t even let him see her for the last time! Your father died with regrets, he died with regrets!”
When MO Ruyue’s mother shouted these words, everyone present still felt that she was faking it. However, those who did not know the inside story could not help but complain.
Since ancient times, people had been raising children in order to support their old age.
She really shouldn’t have not seen him for the last time.
No matter how contradictory the situation was, the dead were the most important.
The people on this side were frowning. This shameless woman actually used a self-harming tactic to turn the tables.
“Your village is so far away from ours. How could my sister-in-law know about what happened to your family?”
Qin Qingyan couldn’t help but rush out to confront MO Ruyue’s mother. “I sent someone to deliver a letter. The first time, they said that you didn’t accept them at all. The second time, you didn’t even let anyone enter the village!’
“Her father had waited until his last breath, but he did not even close his eyes.
How cruel!”
MO Ruyue remained calm after hearing this, but the others did not agree.
This old woman had actually slandered her. If the letter had really come, such a situation would not have happened at all.
“No one knows about this. I was the one who forbade the messenger from entering the village.”
“I’m from West River Village. I’ve never heard of anyone being blocked from sending a letter outside the village.”
Mrs. Chen was the first to step forward, followed by Mrs. Wang, and then the rest of the villagers vouched for MO Ruyue. They said that they had never seen anyone who came to deliver the letter.
“You are all from the same village as her. Now that she is in your village, you will only benefit. I know that you don’t dare to offend her.”
“Forget it, she is now a princess, and we are just those unpresentable people!”
After MO Ruyue’s mother said this, she saw that some of the people had strange expressions on their faces. She knew what she could do to drag someone down with her. The more she said, the more pitiful she became.
When the villagers of West River Village heard MO Ruyue’s mother blabbering shamelessly, they were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks turned red. They wanted to go up and give her a few slaps. However, the eunuch from the Imperial Palace was still here, so they did not dare to go too far. They were afraid that they would cause MO Ruyue some trouble. They could only be pointed at by this crazy woman and speak nonsense. There was nothing they could do.
MO Ruyue’s mother had brought many villagers with her when she came, and now they were all pointing at MO Ruyue.
The eunuch felt a headache coming on.
That woman was right when she said that she was MO Ruyue’s mother, but this person obviously wanted MO Ruyue’s reputation to be ruined!
“I stopped those letters.”
“I’m from the Qin family.”
“MO Ruyue was sold by the MO family for five taels of silver. She’s a member of the Qin family.”
“I don’t want her to have anything to do with the MO family anymore. She was originally bought by the Qin family with money, so her freedom to come and go is decided by the Qin family.”
“She doesn’t know anything about what you’re saying.”
Gu Ying stood up and said these words. The outsiders who were originally whispering stopped talking and looked at Gu Ying.
“What nonsense are you spouting?
MO Ruyue did not expect Guying to say that. The letter must have been made up by that shrew herself.
There was no need for Gu Ying to stand up and say this. It would only damage his own reputation.
Gu Ying raised his hand to stop MO Ruyue from speaking.
“What I said is the truth.”
“I feel that MO Ruyue’s pestilence-like sexually transmitted disease is a very unlucky thing. I don’t want MO Ruyue to have any contact with the MO family at all.”
“Therefore, the people they sent to deliver the letter were all blocked by me.”
MO Ruyue’s mother did not expect Gu Ying to say this. She had never asked anyone to send a letter.
However, he had said these words herself, so he could not take them back.
The eunuch gave Gu Ying a huge admiration in his heart.
“Take this crazy woman away!’
As for whether Princess Ming Yue wanted to offer incense to her dead father or not, that was not something he could care about.
He still had to quickly go back and tell the Emperor about what happened in the princess manor today.
Besides, he was a eunuch here. He would only be in trouble.
According to him, such people should be dealt with privately. If they were not uprooted, they would grow again!
He definitely couldn’t tell Princess Ming Yue about this. She was such a kind person.
The eunuch felt that it was fine to tell Gu Ying.
The guard reacted smartly. He took out a handkerchief or something from his pocket and stuffed it into MO Ruyue’s mother’s mouth so that she could not make any more sounds.
The guards wanted to drag MO Ruyue’s mother away to await her punishment.
“Wait!
MO Ruyue stopped the guards from taking Mother MO away.
“Be careful when you pull her. Rest of you, listen to me.”
The people of West River Village naturally listened to all of MO Ruyue’s orders. The people who came with MO Ruyue’s mother also looked at MO Ruyue, wanting to know what she wanted to say.
Some of them were already feeling nervous before they came. They didn’t expect MO Ruyue to really become a princess!
They had only heard rumors before and thought it was nonsense They did not expect it to be true.
They didn’t want to go head-on with MO Ruyue. They were just nobodies after all, and they couldn’t defeat such a powerful person.
“His husband and son both died of a sexually transmitted disease. If you have come into contact with them, it is best to find a doctor to check your pulse and see if you have been infected.”
“If one person got the disease, the whole family could be infected.”
“This woman had already contracted a sexually transmitted disease.”
As soon as MO Ruyue finished speaking, the group of people who had been standing beside MO Ruyue’s mother immediately distanced themselves from her.
MO Ruyue’s mother shook her head in fear.
She didn’t!
However, she could only shake her head with a piece of cloth in her mouth. Her arms were still twisted by the soldiers and she could not move.
MO Ruyue didn’t care whether these people believed her or not. She directly instructed County Magistrate Wu.
“I’ll have to trouble County Magistrate Wu to send someone to surround that village and get them to check their pulse one by one.”
All those who were found to have a sexually transmitted disease were gathered in one place and isolated. Outsiders were not allowed to approach them, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
“If there are any who escape, we can take tough measures.”
“County Magistrate Wu, please remember that sexually transmitted diseases are equivalent to plagues.”
MO Ruyue had no choice but to say so. The sexually transmitted disease was not as serious as the plague, so it could not be underestimated.
MO Ruyue’s mother and the few people she had brought with her were all shocked and terrified. Two of them had even run away.
There was no need for the masters to give orders. A few soldiers went forward to stop the fleeing people.
As the few escapees had attracted most of the people’s attention, MO Ruyue’s
mother also sent someone to chase after them. Coincidentally, a person passed by her, and MO Ruyues mother managed to struggle free. She took the opportunity to pull the thing out of her mouth and shouted at MO Ruyue.
“MO Ruyue, although I’m not your biological mother, I’ve raised you for eighteen years. It’s said that the kindness of birth is not as great as the kindness of raising you.”
“Are you sure you’ve raised me in the past eighteen years?
“Ever since I could remember, I grew up working hard under your beating and scolding.”
“If you were not satisfied, you would not have food for three to five days, or sleep in the wilderness.”
“Perhaps the heavens have taken pity on me, allowing me to escape the jaws of wolves and wild beasts.” “It’s my fate that I didn’t die by your hands.”
“You should give up.”
MO Ruyue waved her hand. “Take her away. She will be punished for violating the Princess’s law.”
MO Ruyue did not care about what others thought of her. She was not a silver coin, so she never thought that everyone would like her. There would always be a group of people who did not like her..
