Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, her eyes gradually firmed up. "Thank you for telling me the truth," she bowed deeply to the mysterious man, "but I can't go with you."

The mysterious man seemed to have expected this, and his face did not show much surprise, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Why?" He asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to know the truth of what happened back then? Don't you want to seek justice for your mother?"

"I do, of course I do!" Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled a little, "But I can't just leave like this. There are people I cherish here, and things I want to protect." She turned to look at Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai, her eyes full of gratitude, "What's more, I believe that even without you, I can find the truth and seek justice for my mother!"

Xiao Yichen walked over to her, gently held her hand, and gave her silent support. Su Mubai also smiled and said, "That's right, Mengmeng, we will always be with you. No matter what happens, we will face it together!"

Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand, her heart full of strength. Yes, she was no longer alone, she still had them, and that was enough.

The mysterious man looked at them in silence, and finally sighed. "Well, since this is your choice, I respect your decision." He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chu Mengmeng, "If you figure it out one day, come to me with this jade pendant."

After the mysterious man left, Chu Mengmeng suddenly felt relieved, as if a huge rock pressing on her heart had finally fallen. She turned to look at the people around her with a bright smile on her face. "Okay, let's go back!"

After returning to the Chu family, Chu Mengmeng clearly felt that the attitudes of the people around her had changed subtly. Especially the head of the Chu family, who used to be indifferent to her, now became particularly concerned and caring, often asking about her daily life and diet, and specially arranged several capable maids to serve her.

At first, Chu Mengmeng was a little uncomfortable, but gradually, she also felt the belated fatherly love in the heart of the head of the Chu family. After all, blood is thicker than water, even if there have been misunderstandings and estrangements before, family affection can never be severed.

Chu Mengmeng did not disappoint the head of the Chu family. She used her golden finger to help the family solve some problems.

Once, a strange disease suddenly broke out in a farm of the Chu family outside the city. Many tenants were sick and bedridden, and the doctors were helpless. The head of the Chu family was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

After Chu Mengmeng learned about this, she volunteered to go to the village to check the situation. She used her golden finger to quickly find the cause of the disease - it turned out that the water source was polluted. She immediately ordered people to block the water source and transport clean drinking water from the city. At the same time, she also boiled some herbal decoctions according to the prescriptions provided by the golden finger and distributed them to the sick tenants.

Thanks to her efforts, the epidemic in Zhuangzi was quickly brought under control and no one died.

This incident earned Chu Mengmeng a high reputation in the Chu family. Even those who were prejudiced against her had to admit her ability and kindness. The head of the Chu family praised her highly and praised his daughter for her intelligence and ability, saying that she was the lucky star of the Chu family.

Lin Wan'er often came to the Chu family to accompany Chu Mengmeng. In spring, they admired flowers in the garden, tasted freshly made cakes, and talked about poetry and songs; in summer, they enjoyed the coolness by the lotus pond, listened to the cicadas and frogs, and shared each other's little secrets; in autumn, they strolled in the courtyard with falling leaves, feeling the bleak autumn wind, but also experiencing the joy of harvest; in winter, they snuggled by the stove, sipped hot tea, and talked about their future life.

Chu Mengmeng cherishes these ordinary and warm daily lives. After experiencing time travel, conspiracy and family disputes, she longs for such simple and real happiness more and more.

"Mengmeng, you look like you're worried." Lin Wan'er was keenly aware of Chu Mengmeng's occasional distraction, "Are you still worried about that mysterious man?"

Chu Mengmeng shook her head, then nodded, hesitant to speak. After rejecting the mysterious man's proposal, she did feel a lot more relaxed, but the mysteries about her life experience and the huge conspiracy behind it were still like a sword of Damocles hanging over her heart, making her unable to really let go.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Lin Wan'er held Chu Mengmeng's hand and gave her a comforting smile, "You are not fighting alone. There are me, Su Mubai, and Brother Xiao. We will always be by your side."

Chu Mengmeng held Lin Wan'er's hand back and smiled gratefully. The company and support of her friends were her great strength to fight against the unknown.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

On this day, Chu Mengmeng received a letter from the border. There was no signature on the envelope, only a strange seal. She opened the letter in confusion. There were only a few lines of words on the letter paper, but her face turned pale instantly.

Lin Wan'er noticed her abnormality and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and said slowly: "I...I may need to leave for a while."
