Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 20: 

Self-Inflicted

"Well. Not only is she alive, but she is also very energetic and can go up the mountain. Now not only does she scold me, but even my uncle is not as fair as before. He only helps her and says that she is right."

You must know that every time she had a conflict with Murong Lingran, her uncle would always give her fifty-fifty blows and neither side would help. Now he only protects that stinky girl.

"It's too much. Let's go. Mother will take you to them to seek justice." After saying this, Mrs. Chen took Murong Xue and left.

Murong Qing hurriedly stopped her. If Mother really went, their family would be embarrassed again. "A-Niang, you must not listen to A’Je[1]. It was A’Je who saw the elder first and didn't say hello. It was A’Je as well. First, used the ginseng thing to sarcastically speak to them."

"As soon as her words were heard, people knew that cousin was a weirdo who ate ginseng, which is why she is suffering now. If my uncle doesn't protect her, will he still protect his rude niece? If you go and make trouble now, what will happen if word gets out? It looks like we bully the weak.”

 Chen was stunned, "Then let your sister be bullied?"

“This is something sbe brought upon herself, and it’s not bullying at all, it’s just a fact.”

Murong Xue was furious when she heard this, "Murong Qing, what did you say!"

Mrs. Chen also scolded: "A’Qing, since when do you talk to your sister like this?"

"Am I right? Sister A’Ran was not the one who started the provocation today, and we were born with weak legs. It was uncle who succeeded in getting admitted as an imperial doctor, so we can live a good life. A’Je does not know how to be grateful, but instead… It is really ungrateful to ask the uncle to sacrifice his own daughter to let her live a good life. It is no wonder that the uncle's family is resentful."

"Am I ungrateful? If it weren't for my uncle, would we have been sent to the frontier and suffered for three years? What's wrong with the little money he gave me to live a good life to make up for it?"

Murong Qing rolled her eyes at her. Sister was really hopeless, "Sister, if uncle hadn't been admitted as an imperial doctor, then we would still be ordinary people in Baoshan Village. What's the difference between now and then?"

"Perhaps it will be even worse than what you are living now. You will never have been able to come to the capital, and you would have never been able to enjoy the glory and wealth of the capital. You would never have been able to play music, chess, learn calligraphy and painting, never have eaten delicacies, entered the palace, or attend noble banquets. Now, It’s just a lap and we’re back to the starting point.”

"Besides, it was already stated in the imperial edict three years ago that people were punished and belonged to uncle's house. It was our father who insisted on living with the uncle at the beginning, so we were affected. If father didn't live in the uncle's house, we would still be in trouble. Living in Baoshan Village, could we have been punished together?"

"Uncle has provided you with food and shelter for so many years, and has carefully cultivated you for so many years. You just ignore the kindness of raising you, and now you wanted to use other people's daughter's life-saving money to make you live an easier life. You are not afraid that Lingran will really die. Now, you are coming to ask for her life in the middle of the night!”

As an elder sister, Murong Xue was scolded by her younger sister, who said she was a heinous bad person. No matter how shameless she was, she still felt a little embarrassed, "Murong Qing, you are still my sister, why are you talking for outsiders? I am your dear sister!"

She knew that what Murong Qing said was true, but she just couldn't accept it in her heart. If her uncle hadn't committed the crime, she would still be an official girl and marry a well-matched man.

Now she has become an ordinary person, and she is even a person who was exiled by the emperor's personal decree. Although she is not guilty, she just feels uncomfortable. How can she not hate this! Why can’t she complain!
