Chapter 329: Mixed Up?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Qin Xu’s family, you’d better get up quickly. Lady Qin isn’t unreasonable. If there’s anything, you should say it clearly. What’s the matter with kneeling down as soon as you come!”
Two aunts walked over. One of them pulled on Madam Wang’s arm, trying to pull her up, while the other went to pull the siblings.
“No, just let me kneel! I really don’t have the face to see Sister-in-law!”
Madam Wang pulled at the aunt who was pulling her and refused to get up. Qin Qingyuan and his sister also knelt on the ground. They didn’t raise their heads or speak, and they ignored the aunt who was trying to pull them up.
“Lady Qin, you should also say something. If not, what’s the matter with the both of you kneeling here?” Someone also advised MO Ruyue.
“Make her kneel.”
MO Ruyue’s words caused everyone to turn around to look at her. They saw her sitting at the table without moving. A cold light flashed in her eyes, just as cold and indifferent as when she had just changed her personality.
It had been a long time since they had seen such an expression on her face. They subconsciously kept silent and did not dare to persuade her anymore.
“What happened today has nothing to do with Sister-in-law’s family. There’s nothing wrong with the noodles she made. I gave her the mushrooms. There’s something wrong with the mushrooms.”
Madam Wang was also frightened by MO Ruyue’s gaze. However, the arrow was already on the bow, and she had no choice but to fire it. She could not regret it, so she could only brace herself and continue.
“This, this is the dried mushroom that I wanted to give everyone.”
She took out one from the basket and shook it, then took out another one and said, “This is for sister-in-law, but it’s not for food. It’s for medicine. I thought I could exchange it for some money with her.”
“This is because this kind of mushroom originally has a similar appearance, and it’s even more difficult to distinguish them after they’re dried. When the children went to deliver the dried mushrooms today, they mixed up the medicinal and edible ones, so… That’s why we’ve caused such a huge disaster!”
As Madam Wang spoke, she couldn’t help but choke up. She looked at MO
Ruyue sorrowfully and extended the two dried mushrooms in her hand to her.
“Sister-in-law, look, I’m really not lying. You can definitely recognize me, right? I… I know it was wrong of me to think that I could get something without working, so I’m prepared to use something useful to exchange for some money with you, but who would have thought…”
She turned to look at the two children behind her and cried, “It’s all my fault. If I had separated the two dried mushrooms, the children wouldn’t have made a mistake and caused everyone to suffer. They also said that Sister-in-law was wronged. ”
“If you want to blame or punish me, I’ll accept it, but please don’t take it out on the children!”
She cried and complained for a long time. Even the villagers who had suffered showed expressions of pity, but MO Ruyue’s expression did not change. There was not a trace of warmth or wavering in his eyes.
“Are you done?”
She saw that Madam Wang had stopped and only asked lightly.
Madam Wang nodded. Then, she felt a gust of wind blow against her face. With a crisp “pa” sound, her body tilted and she fell to the ground. Her face was red and swollen.
“Aiya, Lady Qin, how can you hit me?”
The aunt, who was standing beside Madam Wang, was really frightened this time. She quickly helped Madam Wang up and couldn’t help but speak up for her.
“Hit someone? If it’s necessary, it’s not impossible to kill.”
MO Ruyue said coldly.
Her words caused an uproar. No one had expected her to say such treasonous words so frankly and directly.
“It’s really hard to tell the difference between the two dried mushrooms, but the medicinal mushrooms have a pungent smell, while the edible ones don’t. No matter how stupid Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingfei are, they still don’t know how to tell the difference between the two mushrooms after so long?”
“Also, this medicinal mushroom itself has a certain toxicity. Eating it at the same time with many dried fruits will cause the toxicity to mutate and intensify the toxin content. Eating a small amount will cause poisoning signs such as vomiting and diarrhea. If the dosage is higher than a certain amount, it will kill people.”
With every word that MO Ruyue said, the faces of the people present turned paler. Now, they only realized that they had just walked one round at the gates of hell. No wonder MO Ruyue would directly hit her. If they were in MO Ruyue’s position, they would definitely not be able to hold back.
“No, I didn’t mean it. I just heard that this mushroom can be used in medicine and wanted to exchange it for some money. I definitely wouldn’t dare to harm anyone!
Madam Wang was also shocked and terrified, and it didn’t look like she was pretending. She waved her hands in denial.
“I haven’t finished.”
MO Ruyue interrupted her again. She held the two dried mushrooms in her palm and gently rubbed them, and they turned into a pile of powder.
“If you eat these two mushrooms together, they are dozens of times more poisonous than the medicinal mushrooms. One bite is enough to kill you, but the dried mushroom you gave my family has both. Madam Wang, I think you really want to die.”
As she spoke, she had already walked to Madam Wang’s side. She pinched her chin with one hand and forced her to open her mouth, as if she was going to pour the powder into her mouth.
The mushroom she had crushed was the one Qin Qingyan had just brought over. He had picked it out from the dried mushrooms Madam Wang had sent to her house.
“Oh, please spare me. I wouldn’t dare to harm you, Sister-in-law. Help!”
When Madam Wang heard that sentence, she was already so scared that she couldn’t speak. When she saw that MO Ruyue was actually forcing her to eat the poisonous mushroom powder, she immediately came back to her senses and started to struggle violently.
“Lady Qin, if you have something to say, say it properly. Don’t dare to take people’s lives!”
The village chief saw that things were not looking good, and quickly went forward to snatch her away.
“Don’t move! My hands are shaking.”
MO Ruyue’s words made the village chief stop in his tracks, and also made the other eager villagers not dare to act rashly. Madam Wang, who was still struggling, froze in place.
“Lady Qin, you must think about your babies. You have to pay with your life for killing someone!”
He tried to persuade MO Ruyue again, afraid that if MO Ruyue’s hand really trembled, it would cause irreparable consequences.
“I’m in charge of killing and burying people. Saving people is also my old profession. It’s not that easy to die.”
MO Ruyue took out a porcelain bottle and showed it to Madam Wang. “This is the antidote for all kinds of poisons. Now, tell me, what do you want to do?”
“W-what? Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I don’t know anything. I didn’t want to harm you!”
Madam Wang was already scared out of her wits. Her face was as white as a sheet of paper and her whole body was shaking like a sieve. When she spoke, her teeth were clattering. If it wasn’t for MO Ruyue’s good ears, she wouldn’t have been able to hear what she was saying.
“Lady Qin, let’s talk this over. Quickly throw away the poisonous mushroom powder in your hand. If by accident it’s swallowed by Madam Wang, it’s not a joke!”
When the village chief saw that MO Ruyue was serious, he broke out in a cold sweat. Let’s not talk about whether Madam Wang really wanted to harm MO Ruyue. Her own life was already about to be lost, so how could she have the courage to continue to be stubborn?
There must have been some misunderstanding. It was better for everyone to sit down and talk about it slowly.
“Talk properly?”
MO Ruyue’s eyes stared at the village chief coldly. She didn’t hide the killing intent in her eyes at all. Even the murderous aura that she had restrained for a long time and hadn’t released for a long time was unhesitatingly released..
