Chapter 24
“Yes Sir, I understand . ” Li Shi quickly replied . Avoiding death is the most important thing . As for that Mu Yunyao, she would do her best to stay away from that little devil . She would never want to have anything to do with her, ever again .
When Mu Yunyao came out of the court, Su Qing rushed up to hug her, her never-ending tears flowed down from her face . “Yao Er, you have suffered, you have suffered so much . ”
“Mother, I’m fine . ” Zhang Caizhu and Li Shi had both been dealt with . Mu Yunyao felt extremely happy .
Su Qing touched Mu Yunyao’s little face . She wiped the tears off her own face and said, “That’s good . Let’s go, Mother borrowed some silver from Auntie Yang to get your wounds treated at the clinic . ”
Mu Yunyao shook her head and said, “Mother, Grandma had been beaten by the stick, we should settle her down first before leaving . ”
“……alright . ” Li Shi was still Mu Cheng’s mother, although Su Qing really hated her, she could not just not care about her, otherwise, people may talk .
Many citizens heard their conversation, and after hearing what Li Shi does to them on a daily basis, their hate towards that evil old hag reached new heights .
After Li Shi was dragged out, many people spat on her . Village chief Yang Ming could only wait for everyone to leave before lifting her up to go back to the village .
Su Qing and Mu Yunyao thanked the villagers to get them to carry Li Shi back to the village first, while the two went to the clinic, with Yang Shi and her husband accompanying them .
The doctor had heard some bits of the case . When he saw Mu Yunyao’s arm injury, he got the fright of his life . He bandaged her arm properly and gave her some medicine for the blood loss . He also gave them a huge discount .
When they reached the city gates, they saw the coroner standing there waiting . When he saw them, he waved at them and said, “It’s a long trip back to your village, you should take this carriage to save up your energy . ”
Mu Yunyao studied the coroner, feeling very perplexed . “Sir, you are a very busy person, you do not have to help us……”
“You do not have to mind these little things . I used to know your father Mu Cheng . When I heard that he had passed away, I was unable to come to the village to offer my condolences as I was way too busy with all the cases . I have already paid the carriage fees, it’s really late now, you must go quickly . ”
Su Qing went up and said, “Thank you very much, coroner . I greet you in place of my late husband . ”
“Do not be so courteous, Mistress Su . Go quickly . ”
Yang Shi’s husband and the coachman sat outside, while Yang Shi, Su Qing and Mu Yunyao sat inside . The ride back to the village was a quiet one .
Mu Yunyao’s eyes were closed as she lay in Su Qing’s embrace, the thoughts in her head were going wild . In her previous life, she broke her leg while escaping the Zhang residence . Zhang Yongan wanted to capture her, but the family of a missing girl had come to the Zhang residence .
They accidentally found the corpse of the girls in the flower garden and brought him to court . Thus, Mu Yunyao was able to escape .
Time had been running out . To protect Su Qing, she had plotted without taking everything into consideration . Fortunately, everything had happened smoothly . As she thought on, she fell asleep . Only when the carriage shook too much, did she wake up with a fright .
“Yao Er, we have reached . ”
“I actually slept for the whole journey . ” Mu Yunyao widened her eyes in shock . When she opened the carriage door and saw the familiar scenery, her face reddened in embarrassment .
When she saw that Mu Yunyao seemed quite lively, Su Qing sighed in relief . She stroked Mu Yunyao’s soft hair and said, “Alright, come out of the carriage . Coachman, there is no master in my household, I won’t be inviting you in to drink tea . Here is some copper coins, treat it as tea money, I hope you are alright with that . ”
“You don’t have to be so courteous, I am a friend of the coroner’s, and he had given me the money for the coach . I will be going . ”
When the carriage went out of sight, Su Qing thanked Yang Shi . Yang Shi patted her hand and said, “Little Yunyao is still a child, and your Mother-in-law’s leg is broken, which would require your utmost attention . You should plan well from today onwards . ”
“Yes, I know . ” Su Qing gratefully held her hand before she entered the house with Mu Yunyao .
