196 I Won’t Go Back On My Word
At this time, Qin Qingfei was no longer timid. Even if no one had reminded her, she knew that she must never tell anyone about her father and mother. If others knew about this, their plan would be completely ruined.
Mo Ruyue thought that saving one or two people was still the same, so she might as well go and take a look again to save herself from this endless trouble.
So, she turned around and went back to the courtyard. Not long after, she came out again with the medicine box.
“Let’s go. I’ll go back with you and take a look.”
Qin Qingfei wiped her tears and got up to follow Mo Ruyue. However, she couldn’t help but turn her head and look at the courtyard behind her.
She used to live in that house for nearly four years, but now it belonged to the aunt’s family. Moreover, a lot of things had been added to the house. Even the poultry and livestock were raised more than when their family still lived there.
Then, she heard the sound of reading from the courtyard. That was a teacher that the aunt had personally invited. He was called the world’s most talented man or something. Not to mention the four brothers, even Tang Tang could benefit from the light and study with him.
It was all because the aunt was capable of making money that the five babies, who could only watch Qin Qingfei eat and drink well, could live such a good life.
If only she was her mother, how good would that be!
Mo Ruyue went to the Qin family’s old house to take a look. Madam Wang was indeed injured and unconscious, and her condition was more serious than she had thought.
The blood on the back of her head had yet to dry, and there was still a very thin stream of blood gurgling out. In this short while, her lips had already turned blue and white, clearly due to excessive blood loss.
She didn’t hesitate and directly stuffed a piece of ginseng under Madam Wang’s tongue. She hung Madam Wang’s remaining breath up, then took out a scalpel from the medicine box and prepared to shave Madam Wang’s head.
“Auntie, you can’t shave! If you shave my mother will have to become a nun. This hair is the life of us women!”
Qin Qingfei was a step behind. She was scared out of her wits when she saw Mo Ruyue’s actions.
“If I don’t shave her head and treat her wound, don’t come to me when she gets infected.”
Mo Ruyue was too lazy to look for trouble, so she put down the scalpel and prepared to stop the bleeding.
“Auntie, please shave it. It’s for my mother’s good. But I beg you, just shave that one, okay?”
Qin Qingyuan also said in a soft voice. He was enduring the pain as he said it. His voice was so soft that it sounded like he was on the verge of death, which made him look like a very filial son.
Mo Ruyue was too lazy to pay attention to him. This kid was full of evil tricks. Although Qin Qingfei was not a good child either, she was much better than her brother.
When she came to treat his injuries, she knew that the Wang family’s original plan was to let Qin Qingyuan be bitten by an ordinary snake. However, Qin Qingyuan deliberately let himself be bitten by a venomous snake to make his situation seem more critical and more convincing.
Speaking of which, he was probably the most ruthless person in the Qin family. He could be so cruel to himself at such a young age. He was very similar to her, Mo Ruyue, when she was in the assassin camp.
Mo Ruyue didn’t say anything, but she quickly shaved the hair at the wound on the back of Madam Née Wang’s head. This way, she could continue to comb her hair into a bun and cover the bald wound.
She then began to clean the wound, stop the bleeding, and stitch it up. Although she did not like the second branch’s family, she would still do her best in the treatment and would not fool them in any way.
It was obvious that the wound was caused by an impact. The wound was not big, but the wound was red and swollen, and blood was flowing non-stop.
Mo Ruyue still had to let out blood before stopping the bleeding to prevent the blood from clotting in the brain. If that was the case, she really had no other way. After all, a brain surgery was definitely not something that could be done with the things she had prepared.
While she was treating Madam Née Wang’s wound, Qin Qingyuan and his sister had been watching her closely. They even subconsciously held their breaths until their chests hurt.
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, Mo Ruyue cut the thread and started to bandage Madam Wang.
“Alright, I’ll prescribe you medicine for the wound. You can write me an IOU for the medicine money. It’s fine if you pay later, but if you don’t pay at all, you’ll have to consider whether you can bear the consequences.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t care what others said about her. Whether it was taking the opportunity to take revenge or adding insult to injury, she had already done her best to treat her injuries. If you want her to be exempted from the fine and medical expenses, don’t even think about it!
Qin Qingfei didn’t dare to speak at this time. She was afraid that she would ruin things if she spoke.
“Auntie, don’t worry. Whatever we owe you now, we’ll pay it back in the future even if we have to sell everything we have. We won’t go back on our word.”
Qin Qingyuan didn’t seem to realize that he was annoying and still responded to Mo Ruyue with a polite look.
“Although you are young, you should know that a gentleman’s promise is worth a thousand gold. I hope that you did not waste your years of studying.”
After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she packed up her medicine box and was ready to leave. She accidentally saw some blood on the corner of the low-legged cabinet by the bed. The blood had already turned black, but it had not completely dried up. Looking at the hair on it, it was not difficult to imagine how Madam Wang’s wound was caused.
Just now, Qin Qingfei said that she had accidentally fallen and hit it when she was boiling the medicine, but there was no trace of boiling medicine in the room. Instead, there was a medicine jar on the steps outside the kitchen that was about to burn dry.
It wasn’t hard to deduce from the lie that Qin Qingfei had told him that Madam Wang’s injury was caused by Qin Xu, and that scumbag was probably hiding somewhere.
Mo Ruyue’s eyes were filled with unconcealed disdain, but she didn’t intend to seek justice for Madam Wang. As long as the second branch didn’t come to provoke her, she didn’t care whether the family was going to heaven or hell or whether they were dead or alive.
Qin Qingfei stole a glance at Qin Qingyuan. He gave her a look, signaling her to follow him.
He could only hope that Qingfei would be quick-witted and adapt to the situation.
Qin Qingyuan could feel that the aunt didn’t like him, but he wasn’t discouraged. The aunt wasn’t an easy person to get along with. However, if he could slowly make the aunt change her opinion of him, wouldn’t that mean that he was more capable and smarter?
Da Bao and the others couldn’t be compared to him at all. Since those who weren’t related by blood could be pampered by her so much, what did he, Qin Qingyuan, lack?
He did not believe that he could not win the aunt’s favor and live the same life as Da Bao and the others!
Mo Ruyue did not miss the calculating glint in Qin Qingyuan’s eyes. She sneered in her heart. It was not difficult for her to guess what he was thinking. In fact, no matter how deep his thoughts were, he was still a child.
This kind of childish trick, when she was his age, she was already able to play it to the acme of perfection, so his little thoughts were really easy to guess.
Soon, Mo Ruyue brought Qin Qingfei back to her house. She didn’t let her into the courtyard but had her wait outside the door.
Not long after, she came back with two bags of medicine.
