I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother

221-230

221 Accept the Apology

Could it be that there were still people who didn't know that this Lady Qin couldn't be provoked? She was someone who even dared to send the county magistrate's wife directly to prison!

"Thank you, Constable Wang. Let's start now. The earlier you finish, the earlier you can go back to report. It won't affect the business of Huichun Hall."

Mo Ruyue was too lazy to deal with this kind of clown. It was not the first time he had been defeated by her, and he still looked like he had not learned his lesson. He was really stubborn.

She didn't even take the magistrate seriously, which meant that she didn't care about Constable Wang at all. As long as he didn't provoke her, she would live in peace with him. Otherwise, she wouldn't mind teaching him another lesson. 

Constable Wang wanted to mock her a little more, but before he came, the old master had instructed him that this matter had been dragged on for a long time and it was better to end it as soon as possible. Moreover, the commoners were watching. If something else happened, he would not be able to explain it to the old master.

Therefore, he still snorted coldly and pulled the chain in his hand. He pulled Qin Shi and Wang Luosheng, who were standing quietly on the side and trying to lower their presence, over.

"Madam Qin, Wang Lousheng, our master ordered you to apologize to Lady Qin in front of all the people in the county that day, and also to pay the fine in one go, ten taels per person! I've already given you a few days, so do what you need to do quickly!"

After he had finished speaking, the two people did not move for a long time. They did not even lower their hands from their faces. Even though they had staggered after being pulled by Constable Wang, they still firmly covered their faces and were determined not to show their faces in front of others.

"Tsk, now you're pretending to be deaf. What did you do when you were making things up about her? Hurry up, this official still has to go back and report to the first master, I don't have time to waste with you."

Constable Wang had always had a bad temper. When he said something and there was no response, his face darkened and his words became unpleasant.

"Daughtet-in-law, I'm sorry."

Qin Shi was the first to speak. Although her face was covered, her mouth wasn't gagged. Her voice was a little muffled and unclear, and her short apology seemed to be extremely insincere.

"My reputation was almost ruined by you, and you're giving me these few words? I'm sorry, but I can't accept it. "

Mo Ruyue answered very simply. She would not let Qin Shi get away with it so easily.

"What else do you want? Don't push your luck!"

Although Qin Shi had been locked up for these days, she still had the airs of a mother-in-law in her heart. She originally thought that she would apologize and just give a word to settle the matter. She didn't expect Mo Ruyue to refuse so bluntly.

When the county magistrate sentenced them, he had made it very clear that as long as Mo Ruyue did not accept it, their apologies would not count.

"Son! Mother brought the silver!"

An old woman suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, holding a bag in her hand. She looked at Wang Luosheng with tears in her eyes. It turned out that his mother had come to deliver the fine silver.

"Lady Qin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have believed in people's slanderous words. I was also greedy for the benefits of those few taels of silver and almost destroyed your reputation. I ask you to be magnanimous and forgive me."
