The county magistrate looked down on Mo Chen; he'd even sold his own mother, tsk tsk tsk...
His family's herbal medicine shop is really something...
Although he was greedy, he was greedy in a righteous way. He was filial to his mother and therefore looked down on such things.
If he were to die rather than submit for his mother, perhaps he could be viewed with more respect.
"You'd really give up your own shop for me? People say I'm greedy, but you're utterly worthless."
"Guards, give this official twenty lashes and then throw him out. Leave your belongings behind."
Keep all the good medicinal herbs in your herbal medicine shop; you can continue to run your clinic.
However, half of the money had to be handed over each month.
Mo Chen: "!!!"
Mo Chen couldn't believe what he had just heard. Before he could say a word, he was pulled away.
The magistrate asked his men, "Where did that old lady and Mo Ran go? In which direction?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is in the direction of the prefectural city."
The magistrate didn't care. So what if it was the prefectural city? It was his father-in-law's place. He was dreaming if anyone wanted to trip him up!
His daughter married another official, as did his sister. You could say he had a vast network of connections, not to mention the empresses in the palace.
...
Mo Yan and Mo Ran set off on horseback. They weren't in a hurry; they would treat any patients they saw and even stop for a while.
This puzzled Mo Ran. "Grandmother, why don't we hurry to the prefectural city?"
The county magistrate has even issued a warrant for our arrest.
Mo Yan looked at her granddaughter with some satisfaction, which showed that her granddaughter was also thinking and not just waiting for her to come up with a solution.
“That’s the family I’m showing respect to. I’ll go and file a complaint myself when we get there. You wait for me outside the city. I’ll come out in three days, and then we’ll continue on our way.”
Three days is enough time to gather all the evidence of the prefect's crimes, and then continue onward, all the way to the emperor's feet.
If everything is like this...
"Grandmother, how can I let you go by yourself? Absolutely not."
Mo Yan glanced at her granddaughter and could only tell the truth, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. You'll be a burden if you come with me. You don't know martial arts, you can't fly over rooftops, and you'll only slow me down."
Mo Ran: "..."
Mo Ran's expression froze instantly.
Mo Yan said helplessly, "See? The truth is a bit unpleasant to hear. Even if I don't tell you, you still insist on asking until you get to the bottom of it."
But you can take it one step at a time. Look at you, you've learned to ride a horse now, haven't you?
Everyone grows through continuous learning.
You might not be able to now, but you definitely will be if you study.
Even so, Mo Ran wasn't comforted; she was the one who had dragged her grandmother down with her.
"Okay, Grandma, then you must stay safe."
"Don't worry, your grandma won't be caught so easily. You, just focus on treating people around you. Don't prescribe medicine if you're unsure. Make sure you're sure, understand?"
"OK."
Mo Ran was in charge of treating people in the nearby villages, and of course, she disguised herself.
Mo Yan was responsible for filing a complaint with the prefect.
...
Turning our attention back to Mo Chen, he was thrown out after being beaten with a board.
Madam Lin had been waiting outside. Seeing Mo Chen being thrown out, she quickly had him carried back. All the way, she was still worried and scared. "Husband, how could I forget? What did the magistrate say?"
Mo Chen was too weak to speak; those twenty lashes were truly solid.
He was almost at his breaking point, "Go...go back..."
He could only manage to speak.
Lin quickly told someone to hurry up.
Back at the shop, I quickly asked the other doctors to take a look.
"Madam, the beating was too severe. We can only apply some medicine to the master and brew two more doses of medicine. We'll see if the master develops a fever tonight."
The beating was so severe that they were powerless to do anything about it and could only leave it to fate. Nobody knew what the final outcome would be.
"Okay, I understand."
Lin was flustered and frightened, and somewhat at a loss.
After her mother-in-law left, she was in charge of the household. She should have been happy, but when she actually took charge of the household, she found that there were many things she didn't understand, and everything was a mess.
All the servants had been sent away, and she had to do everything herself. This feeling was awful, and she didn't like it at all.
Now that Mo Chen is in this state, she is even more panicked.
It was at this moment that her beloved son, Da Bao, arrived.
"Mother, give me some silver, I need to go to a restaurant to eat."
Xiao Bao came in and stretched out his hand to Lin Shi, immediately asking for money.
The Lin family really doesn't have any extra money for their son right now, so in order to protect themselves, they've given away a large portion of it.
Now that Mo Chen has become like this again, there will be many more places where he needs to spend money. How come this child only knows how to ask for money?
"What's wrong with you, child? All you know is money?"
"Didn't you see your father is injured? Go and check on him."
Lin told Xiaobao to go see Mo Chen quickly, so that Mo Chen would think that his son was obedient and sensible.
Who knew that the person was unwilling at all, and even looked impatient, "I'm not going, what did my dad do that he got beaten up?"
My friends are waiting, hurry up and give me the money, you don't want me to lose face, do you?
If I don't build relationships with people now, how can they possibly hang out with me in the future?
"Mother, hurry up!"
Lin was quite helpless and could only give him ten taels of silver in the end. "That's all we have. The family is not doing well right now. Be careful with your money, study hard, and try to pass the imperial examination. That way, your father and I will be happy."
