Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 74: 

No one can argue

Du Shi scoffed sharply: "Then you mean someone deliberately took Yang Shi's purse to frame your mother?"

Murong Lingran glanced at her, twitched the corner of her mouth contemptuously, raised her eyebrows and said: "I didn't say that, it was you, Aunt Du. But I think you are right, my mother would never steal anything. Yes, the only remaining possibility is that someone else framed her."

"Haha..." Mrs. Du suddenly seemed to have heard some big joke. She couldn't stop the sarcastic smile on her face. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Who here doesn't know that your mother, in order to treat her child's illness, got paid fifty taels of silver in advance, and doesn’t have the chance to go home every month. Your family is really short of money.”

"The other people here are better off than the Xiao family. They receive monthly payments. Not only can they go home every month, but they can also give some to their families and have some left over. They are not short of money. You said, in this situation If not her, who else could have stolen it?"

Murong Lingran smiled coldly, "You have inquired about everyone clearly, as if you had stolen the money and found a scapegoat in advance."

　　Du Shi's face suddenly changed, and her voice couldn't help but rise a little higher, "What did you say? Do you mean that I stole the money and framed your mother?"

Murong Lingran spread her hands, noncommittal.

"You!" Mrs. Du immediately wanted to rush over and teach her a lesson, but was stopped by everyone, so she had to say: "Little girl, why did I steal the money? And why did I hide the stolen money with your mother?"

Murong Lingran said calmly: "Of course you are also afraid of being caught, so you are hiding in Mother’s bed temporarily. If Aunt Yang didn’t find it this morning, then you would find a suitable time to move it. If you are discovered, you will be caught. The person you hid it with is my mother, so you have no loss at all."

　　Du Shi was trembling with anger at her words, "Damn girl, don't frame a good person there!"

Murong Lingran sneered and said: "You also know what it feels like to have no excuses. Isn't it uncomfortable? I only am one person to put pressure on you and you can't bear it. Just now, you several people besieged my mother together, so why have you not thought about her feelings?"

  "You!"

Others present felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed like they had acted too hastily just now.

"Hmph, it is absolutely impossible for my mother to do such a sneaky thing. As for you..." Murong Lingran glanced at Du Shi, "We will find out later if you are unjust."

After speaking, she looked at Grandma Sun and said, "Grandma, can you give me a chance?"

Grandma Sun felt that Murong Lingran didn't look like normal ten year old girls from the countryside when she came in. Her words were well-founded, and Granny Sun wanted to see how she could clear her mother's grievances. She said lightly: "Granny doesn't want to wrong anyone. Good girl, I’ll give you this chance.”

“Thank you, Granny.” After Murong Lingran finished speaking, she looked around at everyone, “Who was the first person to find that purse on my mother’s bed?”

 Everyone immediately looked at Du Shi.

Du Shi was startled, and suddenly said nervously: "It's... so what if I discovered it? Wasn’t your mother also searching other people's beds at that time?"

"That's a coincidence." Murong Lingran sneered: "Where on the bed was the purse found?"

 “Under your mother’s pillow.”

“Granny Sun, was it you who ordered the entire room to be searched?”
