Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 267:

Everything Stolen

Although she was sure nothing valuable was missing, Murong Lingran went back to her room to avoid raising suspicions.

Unsurprisingly, the lock at the main entrance could be pried open, and the room's lock had suffered the same fate.

Upon careful inspection, as she suspected, only the cabinet had been opened, and some inexpensive clothes were scattered around. The drawers of the dressing table were also open.

Of course, on the dressing table, she only had a comb and some inexpensive hair ties. The thieves knew these items weren't valuable, so everything was just a bit disordered, and nothing was missing.

The rooms of the three younger brothers and the guest rooms were personally arranged by Murong LingRan, and she knew exactly what was in them.

Although the locks on the doors were still intact, she still opened each room to check.

After a moment, Murong Xuan and Murong Kuan rushed back to their rooms anxiously. Not long after, Murong Xuan shouted, "Ah! Damn thieves!"

The family gathered in his room upon hearing his shout. Murong Zhe expressed concern, "Xuan, what happened? What did you lose?"

Murong Xuan, feeling embarrassed with everyone's attention, rubbed his head and picked up a piece of clothing from the floor. He said with a bitter expression, "I didn't lose much, just the new clothes that Lingran bought for me yesterday. They got stepped on and left several footprints. I haven't even had a chance to wear them. I felt a bit upset, so I shouted loudly."

Everyone sighed in relief. Murong Zhe then turned his attention to the other siblings, asking, "Have any of you lost something?"

Murong Zong replied, "I didn't lose much either. Just like the second brother's room, clothes were scattered everywhere, but I hid my money well, and they didn't find it."

Murong Zhe nodded, "My room is the same as yours."

However, Murong Kuan looked sad and said, "All the money Ling Ran gave me some time ago has been stolen."

He thought everything would be safe as long as the door was locked, so he casually left the money in the cabinet, assuming he could easily see it when he opened it. However, he didn't expect that someone would pick the lock and steal it.

Murong Lingran was surprised, "Third brother, all ten taels of silver were stolen?"

Murong Lingran understood. "A while ago, since they started selling vegetables in the city every day, the money from selling vegetables couldn't be touched. I was afraid they might get hungry on the way, so I gave each of my brothers five taels of silver. Adding the money from the last time I sold the wild boar to them, if they haven't used any of it, it should be a total of ten taels."

Murong Kuan looked upset and gritted his teeth, "I haven't even had a chance to start using it, and it's already stolen. Those wretched thieves, if I catch them, I'll make them pay."

Murong Zhe looked at his daughter, "A’Ran, is your room okay?"

The three brothers turned their heads abruptly, looking at their sister. All the family's silver, property deeds, and valuable items from the gifts sent during the warm house incident were under their sister's care. Could it be that those were stolen too?

Murong Lingran, seeing their anxious expressions, calmly said, "My ability to hide things was already demonstrated to Father and Third Brother before you and Second Brother came back. I haven't lost a single thing."

Murong Zong couldn't believe it, "Really?"

Seeing everyone doubting her words, Murong Lingran took out all the recent income from her bag and then presented all the property and house deeds, saying, "Look, I didn't lie to you, right? As for those pieces of jewelry, they are still safely kept in the house."
