Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 162:

People Are Not Saints

Fei Xiaocai casually glanced at her rough fingers and said indifferently, "Murong Lingran, do the villagers here know that your Murong family was once considered criminals? With so many people outside now, should I help spread the word for you?"

Murong Lingran dangerously narrowed her eyes, her face suddenly turning extremely cold, "Are you threatening me?"

Fei Xiaocai shook her head, "No, this is not a threat. I'm just asking for your help. Once I regain my freedom, I will disappear from your sight immediately."

Hmph, once she regained her freedom, she would have the Murong family's secrets in her hands again. By then, whether the Murong family wanted to do business with the Ministry of Rites or establish themselves in the village, she could threaten them.

Even this house...

Thinking of the handsome face of Murong Zong, Fei Xiaocai's face suddenly reddened.

Back in the Taiyi Mansion, she had a crush on Murong Zong, and her looks were not bad. Perhaps she could become Murong Lingran's sister-in-law. By then, she could have her way.

The idea was beautiful, but unfortunately, Murong Lingran detested people who threatened her the most. She simply shrugged, "Do you think I'm scared? When our family came to Lihua Village, Li Zhuang invited us to settle here. Do you still not understand my father's character after serving him for so many years? He is the kind of person who cannot keep secrets and is extremely straightforward. Shortly after arriving in Lihua Village, he told Li Zhuang about our family's exile and subsequent pardon, and Li Zhuang had already informed the villagers."

"As for the Madam of the Ministry of Rites and Miss Wei, I didn't personally inform them of our family's situation. However, considering their noble status and my role in providing them with fruits and future vegetables, do you think they would not investigate my background before consuming something so crucial?"

Fei Xiaocai was stunned, finding it hard to believe, "How is that possible? If they knew, how could they still interact with you?"

Murong Lingran sneered, "If you don't believe it, you can go out and spread the news recklessly. But, if the Madam of the Ministry of Rites learns that you caused a scene in front of so many villagers, embarrassing her, how do you think she will deal with you?"

She was telling the truth. Initially, she also thought Madam Wei didn't know about their family's situation. However, there was a time when she delivered cherries at the back door, and ChangQi Shenjun asked her to stop under a certain courtyard wall.

As soon as she stopped, she heard Mrs. Xu and Steward Cao talking, saying, "Why does Madam know about their family's situation and still accepts cherries from them?"

Steward Cao just said, "That's all in the past. People are not saints; who can be without mistakes? Their family is not doing evil now."

Since then, she realized that Madam Wei had long since dug up all the details about their family.

Fei Xiaocai's face turned pale. What else could she do? Either she would be whipped and sold, or she would be directly whipped to death.

Seeing her face change drastically, Murong Lingran said with a stern face, "For the sake of Miss Wei, I'll spare you for now. If you're sensible, get out now. Otherwise, I'll let your family's Madam know what you did to my mother in the past, and then we'll see who is worse off!"

Fei Xiaocai bit her lip tightly. She never expected that she would be turned around and threatened, and Madam would be more likely to believe Murong Lingran's words.
