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

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and handed the letter to Lin Wan'er, "Read it yourself."

Lin Wan'er took the letter and quickly glanced through it, frowning. There was only one sentence on the letter: "Reply quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Although there was no signature, from the unique seal and the tough tone, it was not difficult to guess that the person who wrote the letter was the mysterious person mentioned earlier.

"Why does he want you to go back? And in such a threatening tone?" Lin Wan'er asked worriedly.

"I don't know either." Chu Mengmeng shook her head, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. Since she rejected the mysterious man's proposal, she has never contacted him again. Now that she suddenly received this letter, she had to wonder if the other party was going to take any action.

However, before Chu Mengmeng could figure out how to deal with it, a storm targeting her had quietly hit.

At first, only some servants in the family whispered and looked at Chu Mengmeng with a little strangeness. Gradually, the rumor spread quickly throughout the family like the wind.

"Have you heard? That new young lady is not a good person..."

"That's right. I heard that she killed her own parents before, and now she's trying to kill our Chu family!"

"What a sin! Why did the head of the family marry such a woman? Isn't this going to harm our entire family?"

Rumors, like maggots attached to the bones, entangled Chu Mengmeng and made her feel suffocated. And the instigators of all this were Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao.

“Hmph, let me see how long you can be so proud without the protection of the Xiao family!” Chu Yunyao looked at the servants who were instigated by her, with a sinister smile on her lips.

Aunt Zhao also added fuel to the fire and said, "The eldest lady is right. This woman is very scheming. We can't let her succeed!"

When these rumors reached Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai, they both frowned. Su Mubai was straightforward, and upon hearing this, he immediately slammed the table and said, "How can this be! These people are really too much! How can they slander others for no reason?"

Although Xiao Yichen did not speak, a hint of displeasure flashed in his deep eyes. He knew Chu Mengmeng too well. How could that kind and simple girl be the vicious person that others said she was? He decided to secretly investigate the matter, find out the mastermind behind it, and give Chu Mengmeng justice.

At this time, Chu Mengmeng was sitting alone in the pavilion in the garden, looking at the spring scenery in the garden, but she was not interested at all. Those rumors pierced her heart like needles, making her feel extremely wronged and sad.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here in a daze alone?" Lin Wan'er's voice came from behind, interrupting Chu Mengmeng's thoughts.

"Wan'er, you're here." Chu Mengmeng forced a smile, but she couldn't hide the loneliness in her eyes.

"Are those rumors making you unhappy?" Lin Wan'er held Chu Mengmeng's hand and asked softly.

Chu Mengmeng nodded, her eyes slightly red, "Why do they say this to me? What did I do wrong?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense!" Lin Wan'er comforted her, "Those people don't understand you at all, they are just jealous of you."

"Are you jealous of me?" Chu Mengmeng looked at Lin Wan'er in confusion.

"Of course," Lin Wan'er explained, "You are beautiful, have a good family background, and now you are married to a perfect husband like Xiao Yichen. Of course they will be jealous of you, so they made up those rumors to slander you."

Chu Mengmeng felt a little better after hearing what Lin Wan'er said, but she still couldn't help but worry, "But, if these rumors reach Yi Chen's ears, will he misunderstand me too?"

"Don't worry, Yi Chen is not that kind of person. He is so smart, how could he easily believe those nonsense?" Lin Wan'er patted the back of Chu Mengmeng's hand and encouraged her, "You have to believe in yourself and believe in Yi Chen. We will definitely find out the mastermind behind this and clear your name."

"Wan'er, you are right. I cannot be defeated by these rumors!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes gradually became firm. "I must find out who is behind this and clear my name!"

A few days later, the family held a grand banquet. Chu Mengmeng knew that this was the best time for her to clarify the rumors. She dressed up carefully, wearing a light pink dress with only a white jade hairpin in her hair. She looked elegant and refined, yet with a dignity that could not be ignored.

After the banquet began, Chu Mengmeng walked to the center of the hall, faced everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Dear uncles and aunts, rumors about me have been rampant for some time. I know that everyone has many misunderstandings about me. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify everything to everyone."

Chu Mengmeng's voice was clear and pleasant, echoing in the hall. Her eyes were firm and calm, without any evasion.

She told the story of how she had traveled through time, how she had been framed by Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao, and how she had helped the family resolve the crisis. Her tone was sincere, her logic was clear, and every word was powerful.

Everyone present was stunned. They had never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this. Those who had originally been suspicious and hostile to Chu Mengmeng now lowered their heads in shame.

Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao turned pale. They had never thought that Chu Mengmeng would dare to expose their conspiracy in front of so many people! They wanted to refute, but they were frightened by Chu Mengmeng's sharp eyes and dared not speak.

After Chu Mengmeng finished her narration, the hall fell silent. Everyone was impressed by her courage and wisdom.

"I believe in Mengmeng!" Su Mubai was the first to stand up and support Chu Mengmeng, "She is definitely not the kind of person who would do something that would harm the world!"

"That's right, I believe Mengmeng too!" Lin Wan'er also said, "Those rumors are nonsense!"

With Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er taking the lead, other guests also expressed their trust in Chu Mengmeng.

Chu Mengmeng was moved as she watched the scene. She knew that she had finally defeated the rumors and won everyone's recognition.

However, Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao did not give up. They hid behind the crowd, with resentful eyes flashing.

"Chu Mengmeng, don't be too proud!" Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and whispered, "We won't let you go!"

Chu Yunyao also echoed: "Yes, this is just the beginning, just wait!"

They left the bustling hall, returned to their rooms, and began to plot a more vicious plan...
