Chapter 65 - 65 Her Character Design Has Collapsed
“You! What are you laughing at? It’s ridiculous!”
Nie Wu was flustered by Mo Ruyue’s laughter. However, he couldn’t rely on Mo Ruyue and her son’s one-sided story to win the trust of others. Moreover, Divine Doctor Qin would definitely stand on his side in order to protect his reputation and face as a Divine Doctor. Thus, he wasn’t flustered to the point of being at a loss.
“Da Bao, did you see that? Some people will band together for the same benefit, even if they have to use lies, threats, and other means. They not only deceive others but also themselves.”
Mo Ruyue wasn’t in a hurry to argue for herself. Instead, she began to educate the child in front of everyone.
“Some people think that their words are very logical and there are no loopholes. They can’t just rely on the words of us mother and son. After all, there are no other witnesses, so they are confident that their lies will not be exposed.”
“Da Bao, what do you think is the most laughable thing about these kind of people?”
Da Bao also sneered coldly. That smile and cold expression were exactly the same as Mo Ruyue’s.
“It’s laughable that they think they can deceive everyone just because they deceived themselves. Mother, no wonder you always say that we should leave a way out for everything, or we should use the greatest malice to guess people’s hearts. ”
As soon as he said this, Divine Doctor Qin and Nie Wu’s hearts sank at the same time. They subconsciously thought about the loopholes in their words and guessed what kind of backup Mo Ruyue had left.
“The medicine I gave to the old woman can save her life, but there will be side effects.”
Mo Ruyue suddenly said something, which immediately caused an uproar.
“Alright! I told you that you were using medicine recklessly, and as expected! You’re confessing without a fight!”
Divine Doctor Qin immediately shouted, as if he had been caught.
After he finished shouting, he suddenly saw Da Bao looking at him with pity. Even the surrounding villagers’ gazes became extremely strange.
His eyes were dazed for a while. Suddenly, he remembered that he had said before that the old woman woke up because of the effective medicine she had taken. It had nothing to do with Mo Ruyue. However, he had just said that Mo Ruyue had used the medicine randomly, so there must have been some bad effect for him to come to this conclusion. In this way, his words were contradictory, and Mo Ruyue didn’t even need to explain for herself.
Divine Doctor Qin secretly hated himself for speaking too fast. At this time, he should have put on his Divine Doctor’s airs. As long as he didn’t speak, even if Mo Ruyue took out the medicine drugs, she wouldn’t be able to prove that the medicine was for the old woman. If she couldn’t prove it, she wouldn’t be able to win the trust of others.
But now, his casual words had smashed his own pot, and the cause was that woman’s words that had no evidence.
After sorting out this logical relationship, Divine Doctor Qin almost vomited blood because of his own stupidity. But now that he had already said it, if he changed his mind, it would only confirm his guilty conscience. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t know what Mo Ruyue would do next.
This was a real dilemma, and he was the one who had dragged himself into this situation.
Mo Ruyue calmly and unruffled enjoyed Divine Doctor Qin’s conflicted expression. Didn’t he know that his current appearance was also telling the villagers that he was indeed guilty?
However, she wasn’t so kind as to remind him that he had to swallow the bitter fruit he had brewed himself. If he couldn’t swallow it, she didn’t mind reaching out to help him.
The surrounding villagers weren’t fools. There was nothing they couldn’t understand.
Divine Doctor Qin, who claimed that his medicine was effective, had a wavering look in his eyes and a nervous expression. On the other hand, Mo Ruyue, who was first accused of not doing anything and then said that he had simply used medicine, was calm and composed. It was self-evident who was more convincing between the two.
However, due to Divine Doctor Qin’s past methods, the villagers considered their own interests in the future. At most, they kept their mouths shut and no longer criticized Mo Ruyue like before. However, they didn’t dare to easily step forward to question and speak up for Mo Ruyue.
When Mo Ruyue saw this, she wasn’t surprised at all. It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It was just that it was more vividly reflected now.
“G-g-g-g-g-miss.”
The old woman who had just woken up suddenly called out to Mo Ruyue and shakily reached out to her and grabbed her sleeve.
“Old woman, are you feeling unwell?” Mo Ruyue lowered her head to look at her and said softly.
No matter what the reason was, she was the one who had saved her. As long as she was still in her sight, she was still her patient.
“Thank… Thank you for saving… Saving me.”
Although the old woman’s voice was soft, Divine Doctor Qin and Nie Wu, who were standing at the side, heard her clearly. Da Bao even directly killed them with one sentence. “The old lady admitted that it was my mother who saved her. What else do you have to say?”
“Hmph. You actually believe the nonsense of a dying woman? This matter has nothing to do with me anyway. I don’t want any fame or fortune for saving people. Your mother insisted that she was the one who saved her, so what’s the harm in giving her the false title? Get out of my way, I still have to go back and deal with the medicinal herbs. Don’t delay my work!”
Divine Doctor Qin really couldn’t think of any other excuses and could only prepare to leave forcefully. Before he left, he still had to put on a show to clear his name.
With his departure, the last bit of doubt in the villagers’ hearts was dispelled. Now, it seemed that Mo Ruyue had really saved the person and Divine Doctor Qin did not seem to be as divine as they had imagined.
Now that they thought about it, those who came to him for treatment were all minor illnesses such as headaches and fever, or skin injuries or fractures. Occasionally, there were a few seriously ill patients, but he would give them a few doses of medicine and refuse them, saying that they should not bother him with minor illnesses. But before this, he had even treated colds and diarrhea.
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that they had been deceived. At the same time, their eyes were burning as they looked at Mo Ruyue.
Mo Ruyue didn’t want to ruin Divine Doctor Qin’s image, but she really didn’t know what was good for him. He was an incompetent person to begin with, so he should have just hidden his talents. Instead, he wanted to pour dirty water on her to save himself. She couldn’t tolerate this.
It was just that she didn’t expect that even though Divine Doctor Qin’s public image had fallen apart, she had also become a new hot cake in everyone’s eyes.
Mo Ruyue’s five senses were much more sensitive than before, especially when it came to visual sensitivity. It was not an exaggeration to say that if someone stared at her for more than three seconds, she would immediately notice.
Now that the villagers’ overly burning gazes were on her, it was as if countless fine needles were inserted into her body. It was faintly painful and itchy, but she couldn’t reach out to scratch it. That feeling was indescribable and uncomfortable.
Since Divine Doctor Qin had already left and the old lady who had been saved had also woken up and personally confirmed that Mo Ruyue was the one who had saved her, Nie Wu naturally had nothing to say. He could only hesitantly walk to Mo Ruyue’s side and didn’t know how to explain himself. He could only look at her with pleading eyes and beg her not to expose his crime of abandoning his old mother.
