Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 272:

Teach Him a Lesson

The three Murong brothers and Murong Zhe were busy sorting herbs in the courtyard, with one giving instructions while the others worked.

After acquiring "Compendium of a Hundred Herbs," Murong Zhe would occasionally take his son around the outskirts to gather some herbs.

Being a medical practitioner, he could diagnose and treat simple ailments without needing to pulse-check, relying on his experience.

If someone in the family had a minor illness like a headache or fever, they wouldn't need to rush to the city. He could promptly administer medicine.

Therefore, for the herbs needed that evening, there was no need to buy them separately. They could prepare everything quickly and start the production process.

Murong Lingran went up the mountain in the afternoon with Hei Mao to prepare herbs for Lord Changqi. She stayed in the space with Hei Mao.

Lord Changqi's injuries had improved after this period of recuperation, and now the land in the space could support the growth of eight fruit trees.

After planting potatoes, with some space left, Murong Lingran planted various crops. After harvesting, everything was neatly stored in the underground cellar, allowing her to retrieve whatever she wanted to eat.

So, when she descended the mountain, she carried a large pile of fruits, all of which were favorites of her family.

The father and sons were no longer surprised to see a bounty of fruits in the hall.

Since Xiao Man'an fell ill and Murong Lingran returned from the city, every time she went up the mountain, she would bring down a heap of delicious fruits. When asked where she picked them, she would simply say it was a secret.

Murong Zhe and Murong Kuan had already seen her bring back cherries, so they were accustomed to her frequently finding things from the mountain that they couldn't.

Initially, Murong Zong and Murong Xuan would ask, but when they couldn't get any information from their sister and their father even led the way in eating those fruits, they stopped questioning. After all, their sister wouldn't poison them.

At the third quarter of the Dog Hour, with the moon hanging high, beneath a wall in a corner of Murong Lingran's home, a few people were conspiratorially discussing something.

"We just came during the day. Is it too hasty to come back tonight?"

"You're being naive. It's precisely because we visited during the day that they won't expect us to return at night. That way, they won't be on guard. If we gave them time, they might have replaced the locks with something more complex, and we might not be able to open them."

"Exactly. I'll never forget the mockery from that cripple today. He dared to belittle us, saying we're dumb and can't steal their money. Tonight, I'll make them regret uttering those words during the day and show them a thing or two."

"Yes, today I nearly exploded after hearing Murong Zhe's words. His implication was clear – that we are useless. I've never been mocked like that in my life. Tonight, I'll make sure to steal everything from their house, teach them a lesson, and make sure they never look down on us again!"

"They said during the day, right? The houses with money weren't pried open; only the ones pried open had little or no money. When you guys scouted during the day and spotted their carriage, we hurriedly left, and indeed, there were a few houses we couldn't get to in time. With the amount of silver they earn every day, it must be stored in one of those three houses, or perhaps distributed among them. If we don't seize this opportunity to find it while it's hot, once they move it, we'll have a hard time later."

"That's the point." One person finished speaking and handed out smoke bombs to them. "Are you ready?"
