171 It's All Your Fault!

"How can you do that? Your mother-in-law's words and actions are too hateful. Although you didn't tell this old man in detail, just from what Wang Luosheng told me, it's not hard to imagine what the source of the rumors is like."

"Since this old man has already submitted a lawsuit, I can't miss the court trial tomorrow. Otherwise, people will say that this old man is just putting on an act and has a strong beginning but a weak end."

After Imperial Doctor Tian finished speaking, Mo Ruyue no longer tried to persuade him. Although Imperial Doctor Tian had done enough for her, an old man had his own stubbornness and it would not be right to persuade him.

After coming out of the government office, Mo Ruyue first went back to Huichun Hall to get the imperial carriage. It was getting late, so she didn't take in the remaining patients and went home directly. 

Just as Mo Ruyue drove the carriage to the village entrance, she heard a burst of crying coming from the direction of her home. There were old and young people, and it was very lively.

She could already tell that it wasn't her babies' voices, and she had heard that cry more than once. It seemed that some people had already received the news in advance and had come to their door to act pitiful.

When she slowly drove the carriage to her house, she saw a few familiar figures blocking the entrance. Her children were all standing at the door, and the man with a helpless expression in front of him was Du Zhongheng.

Usually, he would have already returned by now, but he had actually stayed until now. She didn't know if it was because he was blocked by the people at the door and couldn't leave.

Mo Ruyue guessed the situation correctly.

Before she had returned, someone from the magistrate's office came to inform Qin Shi to go to the magistrate's office for a hearing the next morning.

As soon as he said this, the Qin family immediately exploded.

Previously, although Mo Ruyue had submitted a complaint to the deputy prefect, there had been no news for a month. The entire Qin family thought that she was just scaring them at that time and quickly threw this matter to the back of their minds.

He didn't expect the government office runners to come to her door today and deliver such a piece of news.

Initially, Lady Qin did not believe it. However, that bailiff was fierce and said that if she did not show up tomorrow, he would come to arrest her with chains and canes when she was summoned again.

Qin Shi finally understood that she was really going to go to court for a trial. After a moment of daze, she immediately brought the Qin family's second daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, and a pair of grandchildren to Mo Ruyue's door to cry. As for the second son, Qin Xu, she didn't know where he went to drink and didn't know about this matter.

Coincidentally, Du Zhongheng had just finished teaching today's class and was about to leave when he was blocked by Qin Shi and the others who had rushed over. He just watched them cry and complain with snot and tears in their eyes. He had been blocked here for a long time.

Now that he accidentally looked up and saw Mo Ruyue coming back, it was as if he had seen his savior. He quickly waved to her and said, "Madam Qin, you're finally back!"

"Mother!" The babies also shouted.

"Mother, you're back!"

...

The crying family also stopped for a while and turned around to look. Sure enough, they saw that Mo Ruyue had already gotten off the imperial carriage and was slowly walking over.
