Chu Qingyue gently tugged at Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve and asked softly, “Fifth Sister, who are they?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “They’re my two little disciples. One is called Yuan Hongjun, and the other is called Bao Linjiang. They’re learning medicine from me. Just treat them as your younger brothers.”

Chu Qingyue was shocked.

She looked at the two young men curiously. They looked outstanding and had extraordinary temperaments, like young masters in the city.

She turned to look at Chu Qingzhi, thinking to herself, Fifth Sister can actually find such outstanding disciples. She is too amazing.

“Fifth Sister, I understand.”

Ning Yuting looked at Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang with shock written all across his face. He had grown up in the capital, so he naturally recognized the two of them. One was the beloved grandson of Yuan Zheng, and the other was the beloved grandson of Bao Chuanli.

The two of them had something in common, which was that they were proud and arrogant. He did not expect them to acknowledge Chu Qingzhi as their master.

Then how good was her medical skills?

He could not help but look at Chu Qingzhi. This girl seemed to be more impressive than he had imagined!

The peasant woman and the two burly men wanted to stop the two young men from performing acupuncture, but with Tang Jinghong and Ning Yuting standing at the side, they didn’t dare to make a rash move.

Especially Tang Jinghong. He was dressed in a black robe and exuded an aura that made others not dare to look him in the eyes.

After a while, the head constable came with ten constables.

The constable knew Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong and immediately bowed to them. However, when he was about to bow to Tang Jinghong, Tang Jinghong stopped him. “Deal with the case first.”

The head constable cupped his hands. “Yes.”

Then, he asked the people present about the situation…

The peasant woman and the two men were outwardly strong and inwardly weak. When they saw the head constable, they immediately shrank back like rats seeing a cat. They couldn’t help but tremble with fear.

After asking around and getting a rough understanding of the situation, the head constable prepared to bring everyone to the county office for interrogation.

At this moment, Yuan Hongjun turned around and said, “Wait a little longer. The acupuncture will be over in a while.”

The head constable looked at Tang Jinghong, who nodded slightly. He did not say anything and waited at the side.

Not long after, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang removed the needles. The two of them turned the girl back. Bao Linjiang said to the girl, “Get up and try.”

Everyone was also looking forward to the girl’s reaction. After all, they felt that the two young men’s medical skills were not bad.

The girl was a fool. She looked at the two of them, laughing foolishly, but the look of pain on her face was gone. After laughing for a while, she got up and ran around the stretcher. “Flying, flying…”

When everyone saw the girl running, they were first amazed by Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang’s medical skills. They could even treat paralysis with acupuncture. Then, they were surprised to find that the girl was actually a fool. Then, they thought of the diagnosis of the two young men just now and realized that the peasant woman in front of them was actually a demon!

“Officer, hurry up and arrest this ruthless old woman!”

“She’s so inhuman!”

“You must punish her severely. She’s too heartless. She even harmed her own daughter!”

No matter how mean and thick-skinned the peasant woman was, she could not withstand the criticism of the crowd.

The two burly men were also dispirited. They shrunk their necks and did not dare to speak.

The head constable waved his hand. “Take everyone back.”

The onlookers also wanted to know what was going on, so they followed them to the county office.

At the county office.

When the county magistrate saw so many commoners, he knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately held a court trial.

The county magistrate put on a dignified expression. “Speak your name.”

The peasant woman trembled and immediately said in fear, “Madam Wang from the He Village. This is my daughter. She doesn’t have a name and is called He Fifth.”

The two men were tall, but they were not bold. They quickly said.

“I’m He First from He Village.”

“I’m He Second from He Village.”

The county magistrate said, “Head constable, tell me what happened.”

Chu Qingyue stood up. “My lord, can you let me recount what happened?”

The county magistrate said, “Alright, go ahead.”

Chu Qingyue told him everything about how the peasant woman had asked He First and He Second to carry He Fifth to her shop and how they wanted to extort money from her. “My lord, that’s what happened.”

The county magistrate frowned. Today’s case sounded infuriating. He pointed at the peasant woman. “Why are you extorting money from her?”

A flash of light entered the peasant woman and the two men’s bodies.

The peasant woman said excitedly, “My daughter is going to die. I raised her for so long. What’s wrong with us squeezing the last bit of value from her?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The two men looked at the peasant woman strangely. Had she been possessed? Why did she tell the truth?

The magistrate looked serious. “How can you be so sure that she’s going to die?”

The peasant woman said, “Ever since He Fifth had a miscarriage, she has been bleeding and can’t even get out of bed. She will definitely die soon.”

The magistrate asked, “Why didn’t you take her to see a doctor?”

The peasant woman said, “See a doctor? 1 lent her to other families to help them give birth to a child. For each child she gives birth to, 1 can only earn one taels of silver. How can I have the money to take her to see a doctor?”

Everyone was stunned.

How infuriating! She actually lent her daughter to someone else to have a child?

The county magistrate’s face darkened. This mother was too cruel. Without waiting for him to ask further, the peasant woman continued, “She was played by a man. After the man dumped her, she went crazy. I didn’t expect her to be pregnant. 1 sold the child and earned a tael of silver. After that, I kept making her pregnant and selling the children.”

“But after the fourth child, her body started to debilitate quickly. After that, she had two miscarriages. What’s the use of keeping her?”

They had seen vicious people, but they had never seen anyone so vicious. Those words were beyond everyone’s imagination.

Chu Qingzhi was also dumbfounded. She was considered experienced, but this was the first time she had heard of such an inhuman act.

The county magistrate’s face darkened. This evil woman was too hateful. “What happened to your daughter’s back?”

The peasant woman said, “The village chief’s wife bought a dress for her daughter. I thought it looked really good, so I stole the dress. Then, I saw a needle on the dress.”

“So I thought that since He Fifth was going to die anyway, I might as well take the opportunity to extort some money. I stabbed her while she was sitting on the threshold and not paying attention. 1 didn’t expect the heavens to be on my side. She was paralyzed.”

“I’ll immediately get my two sons to carry her to the shop to make a scene.”

Her two sons turned pale and collapsed on the ground. What should they do? Their mother had told everything.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What a vicious plan! What a vicious mother!!

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked at each other. How could there be such a mother in the world?

Yuan Hongjun leaned closer to Bao Linjiang and whispered, “Little Abalone, now you know how evil people are. Don’t be so naive in the future. Be careful not to be kidnapped!”

Bao Linjiang pushed Yuan Hongjun. “Get lost. You’re the one who will be kidnapped!”

Yuan Hongjun glanced at Bao Linjiang. “Little Abalone, I’m reminding you out of kindness. Otherwise, if you’ll be sold and help others make money.”

“Thank you for your kindness. You should take care of yourself first.” Bao Linjiang snorted..
