Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 278:

Reporting to the Officials

His Mother is the younger sister of Gao's family, a woman named Xiao Gao.

At this moment, Mrs. Pan approached, looking at her son hanging upside down, wiping away tears, and said, "Yongsong, how could you do such a foolish thing? Now, you've been caught in the act. I told you not to associate with them before. Look, this has caused trouble. What should I do now? How can I face your father?"

Yongsong couldn't bear to look at his mother's tearful face, expressionless, he said, "If I got caught, it's my bad luck. Hurry and ask them to let me go."

"Yongsong! Do you know your mother spends every day in the village, constantly dealing with the people from the Murong family? What have you done? Where does this leave your mother?" Mrs. Pan exclaimed.

Yongsong remained indifferent, "Just ignore and avoid them."

"You!" Mrs. Pan couldn't help but burst into tears, "Wu wu wu... wu wu wu..."

Some compassionate women quickly stepped forward to console. Despite her son's misbehavior, Mrs. Pan's character was well-known in the village.

She had tirelessly cared for her paralyzed husband for over a decade without remarrying, working hard to raise her children. Throughout these years, she had never quarreled or offended anyone. Whenever a neighbor needed help, she willingly offered assistance. Leading a simple and honest life, her reputation remained untarnished.

Xiao Gao had just approached to confirm the situation. She wasn't angry at her son for his misdeeds but, observing his face, reddened and visibly marked from hanging upside down all night, she couldn't help but feel distressed, saying, "My son, does it hurt? Realease him immediately!"

Murong Lingran, observing her self-righteous demeanor, immediately darkened her expression. Her tone icy, she said, "Release him? You think you can settle things after stealing from my family twice, just with your words? It's not that easy!"

Xiao Gao, defiant, retorted, "Do you have any evidence that my son stole from your family? I can also claim you resorted to vigilante justice, unjustly kidnapped and beat my son."

Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow, "Just based on yesterday when our family caught all five of them in the act with stolen goods. Doesn't that prove anything?"

Xiaogao, stubbornly, replied, "It doesn't."

Murong Lingran didn't want to waste more words with her. He turned and said, "Elder brother, let's report this to the authorities. Once at the government office, the officials will intervene. The officials are just and upright. I refuse to believe that, as victims, the officials will side with those five!"

Murong Zong coldly glanced at them, nodding, "Yes, the carriage is ready. I'll bring them right away."

Feng Jifang's expression changed instantly. He had heard from someone about the conditions inside the prison.

Not only did they get only one meal a day, often spoiled, causing stomachaches, but they would also face a severe beating upon entry. Injuries wouldn't be attended to by a doctor, making the thought of such suffering unbearable.

Indeed, it's said that people inside tend to involuntarily speak the truth, and even those who resist might be forced to confess. In such situations, one can't be certain to have the same luck as the group you mentioned in making it out alive.
