On the wedding night, the space doctor made the crippled king stand up

Chapter 173 Making a decision
  Xiao Qingqing was a little anxious, and ran to the inner room, where she saw Feng Molin sitting there leisurely drinking tea, without any sign of worry.

"Aren't you worried that Rao Lei will really leave with the money and not come back?" Seeing his indifferent look, Xiao Qingqing asked anxiously.

Feng Molin took his time and poured a cup of tea for her and handed it to her: "Don't worry, he will be back. Drink some water after being busy for so long."

Xiao Qingqing was suspicious and didn't know where his confidence came from. Seeing that he wasn't in a hurry, why should she be in a hurry? She simply sat down and took the tea cup from Feng Molin's hand and drank it in one gulp.

Feng Molin even bought some tea for her.

At this time, after Rao Lei left the room, he saw that the fire in the shelter had been extinguished and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the villagers who followed him were fine, he said, "We are leaving here tonight."

The villagers who had just finished putting out the fire couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other and didn't know what happened.

"Sir, why are we leaving tonight?" Is it because of the fire tonight that we are so anxious?

They knew very well that the fire was probably aimed at Rao Lei, but now the fire has not been put out, and even the assassin has been caught.

"Sir, it's very dangerous outside now. If we really leave like this, I'm afraid..." The villager did not finish his words.

Rao Lei knew what they were going to say, but he couldn't stay in this place now.

Now that the matter has been informed, although Xiao Qingqing lets him go now, there is no guarantee of the future.

"Sir, please think twice!" Seeing that Rao Lei still wanted to leave, the villagers tried to dissuade him again.

Although there may be people here to assassinate Rao Lei, there are so many people here. Like today, even if something happens, there will be people to help.

Looking at the people in front of him, Rao Lei sighed and asked: "Do you think there are still people you can trust now?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't understand why they asked this.

But considering the current situation, it is too difficult to trust someone.

Rao Lei continued: "Are you willing to tell others your secrets? If you tell others, but you don't know whether to believe that person, what will you do?"

"Well, since you are someone who doesn't believe it, you can't tell the secret to others." An honest villager replied.

Some smart villagers heard what he said, analyzed the reason, and looked at Rao Lei in surprise: "Sir, you must have told others about it."

Knowing that this kind of thing could not be concealed, Rao Lei could only nod helplessly.

This wasn't what he wanted either.

"At that time, I just thought that this princess saved my life, so I told the story. But after thinking about it, I found that I made a huge mistake. The princess gave me money to leave here, but I still don't know about this princess. What kind of person is he?"

He couldn't see through it, and the silver in his hand became extremely heavy. He could only look at the villagers and motioned for them to leave with him.

At this moment, Qingtang came over. After seeing Rao Lei and the villagers, she even heard him mention the princess.

"What's wrong with the princess? The princess is fine. If it weren't for the princess's help, how could the victims have any place to survive in these troubled times? They would have died of hunger long ago. The princess often helps the victims with their illnesses. Why do you think the princess is not good?"

Qingtang stopped and asked Rao Lei. Although he did not express his position clearly, he could hear doubts about the princess from his mouth. She was not convinced that the princess still wanted to be thought of like this despite having done a lot of things.

Rao Lei looked at Qingtang who suddenly appeared in surprise.

Seeing that he didn't give her a clear response, she called over the victims who were passing by: "Can you come and tell him about the princess? How wonderful!"

Qingtang put his hands on his hips and stared at Rao Lei with dissatisfaction.

When they heard it was about Xiao Qingqing, the victims also had a smile on their faces: "Miss Qingtang is right, the princess is indeed a good person. It is because of the princess helping us that we are here, otherwise I’m afraid they’ll all starve to death on the road.”

"The princess is quite nice. She often helps our family."

I heard that these victims all praised Xiao Qingqing and told Rao Lei and others about the good deeds Xiao Qingqing had done.

The villagers who followed Rao Lei couldn't help but talk about it. In the current troubled times, it is rare for a person to be able to do this and gain the respect of so many people.

And from what these victims said about Xiao Qingqing, they didn't sound like a bad person.

Even Rao Lei lowered his head and thought deeply.

Finally, he made a decision: "I'll go find the princess and make it clear."

This time, after careful consideration, he firmly believed in Xiao Qingqing's character. Maybe she could really help him and the villagers who came with him.

Qingtang was a little confused when he saw this scene and didn't understand what happened.

At this time, Xiao Qingqing, who was still drinking tea in the room, felt increasingly unsure. It had been so long, but Rao Lei still had no intention of coming. Did he really leave?
  Just when she was about to ask Feng Molin, the long-awaited voice came from the door.

"Princess, I would like to see Rao Lei, the lower official."

Xiao Qingqing's eyes suddenly brightened, and she glanced at Feng Molin. He was still sitting there calmly, as if all this had been expected.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Xiao Qingqing stood up and hurriedly walked out. Suddenly she thought of something and stopped to straighten her clothes and hair. After confirming that everything was correct, she walked out of the house slowly and elegantly.

Xiao Qingqing looked at the door and signaled that he could come in. She sat on her seat and looked at him condescendingly: "Rao Lei? Didn't I let you go? What are you doing back?"

She suppressed her inner appreciation for him, her face turned cold.

Rao Lei, who had just come in, was frightened when he saw this scene. He thought that Xiao Qingqing was angry with him because of what happened just now, so he hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "Princess, I was always a low-ranking official who was confused before, but this time. The official has figured it out and hopes that the princess can give the official a chance to atone for his sins."

She didn't speak, her fingers lightly clasped the table, her eyes had no meaning. The room was very quiet, and she could only hear the sound of her fingers clasping the table. The sound was like hitting his heart.

He didn't know if Xiao Qingqing was still willing to help him, so he gritted his teeth, raised his eyes and looked into her eyes and said: "Princess, as long as you are willing to help me and the people, I will be the princess's fault!"

Xiao Qingqing chuckled lightly: "What I don't need most is someone to work for me, but I want to know the question I asked earlier. Why didn't you tell me when you came?"
