Chapter 24

“Yes Sir, I understand . ” Li s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ does to them on a daily basis, their hate towards that evil old hag reached new heights .

After Li s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ back to the village first, while the two went to the clinic, with Yang s.h.i.+ 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 pa.s.sed 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 s.h.i.+’s husband and the coachman sat outside, while Yang s.h.i.+, 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 embarra.s.sment .

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 s.h.i.+ . Yang s.h.i.+ 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 .
