Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 122:
Taking Action in Urgency
Madam Ma snorted, "In any case, your words are not trustworthy."
Suddenly, Murong Lingran spoke, "Miss Qiu, since you claim that my elder brother embraced you, what evidence do you have?"
Qiu Xiaoru stammered, "I... I am... the evidence."
"As the person involved, who knows if you might be lying for personal reasons? You need to find a witness to testify," Murong Lingran suggested.
Murong Zong's father, Murong Zhe, agreed, "Indeed, since you say my second son cannot testify, and as the person involved, you cannot testify either."
Qiu Xiaoru was at a loss and looked nervously at Madam Ma.
Madam Ma was also anxious and before she could speak, Murong Lingran continued, "Have any of the people present witnessed the whole incident?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously.
At that moment, a small hand trembled as it was raised, "I... I saw it."
Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow at the one who raised their hand.
Madam Ma, frowning, asked, "Da Zhuang, why are you here?"
"I was climbing a tree over there just now." Da Zhuang pointed to a nearby tree.
"Alright, tell me, did this gentleman touch this lady?" Murong Lingran pointed to herself.
Da Zhuang shook his head, "I saw it clearly from the tree. This gentleman circled around Miss Xiaoru after jumping into the water. After tying the rope around her, he swam back with another gentleman and pulled her up. This gentleman did not touch her from start to finish."
Murong Zong nodded, "Exactly."

Madam Ma, seeing the situation not going well, was about to say something when Murong Lingran preemptively said, "Does Auntie mean to say that the words of a child cannot be trusted?"
"Of course! And who doesn't know that he helps you plant vegetables in your house? He must be biased towards your family. Saving someone onshore, how could it be done without using hands? Can anyone believe that it's possible just using a rope? This is an unlikely scenario."
Everyone looked at each other, and both sides were so sure of their claims that they were momentarily unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Murong Lingran sneered, "Auntie, do you want to use my brother's actions to dissolve the engagement with the Mo family and let my brother marry her? Why bother with so much nonsense?"
"If you don't believe my brother and me, fine. Let's demonstrate it again to see if my elder brother's way of saving people can touch someone. In front of everyone, if he doesn't touch her, you will apologize to my elder brother obediently."
Madam Ma frowned, "What if he does touch her?"
"If he touches her?" Murong Lingran suddenly laughed, "Then he touched her. She hasn't lost any flesh, and she's still wearing clothes. Do you really want my brother to marry her? According to your logic, if any woman casually chooses someone in the village, secretly goes forward and hugs him, does that mean the person must marry her?"
"In that case, does it mean that in the future, any woman who wants to dissolve her unsatisfactory engagement can actively hug someone with better conditions to achieve her goal?"
"Under urgent circumstances, when a life is at stake, can you afford to think so much? Are you implying that my brother saved someone and made a mistake? In the future, when others encounter such situations and risk their lives to save people, not only will they not receive gratitude, but they will also sacrifice their own lifelong happiness?"
"If someone else already has a family, would you also force them like today, making their home restless?"
One person in the crowd said, "That's right. Saving someone and making a mistake, if you despise the person who saved your daughter's life, would you really want her to marry him? According to what you're saying, if she fancies anyone in the village, goes forward and hugs him, does that mean he must marry her?"
