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

"That year, Princess Yunmeng gave birth to a daughter, but was framed by a villain. In order to protect her daughter's life, the princess entrusted her to her trusted guards, and she herself..." The guardian hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and said no more.

Chu Mengmeng felt her mind go blank, as if struck by lightning. She staggered back, her face pale, and the jade pendant in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, almost crushing her.

"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen quickly supported her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Mengmeng seemed not to hear his words. Her eyes were empty as she muttered to herself, "I'm not... I'm not..."

"Mengmeng, don't scare me. What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yichen became even more worried. He held her shoulders and tried to bring her back to her senses.

Chu Mengmeng finally came to her senses, but she pushed Xiao Yichen away, her eyes full of fear and panic. She stumbled back until her back was against the cold wall, and then she slid to the ground powerlessly.

"I... I'm not the real eldest daughter of the Chu family..." Her voice trembled, with a hint of tears in her voice, "I'm just... an abandoned orphan..."

This sentence was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. Everyone looked at Chu Mengmeng in shock, not daring to believe their ears.

“This… How is this possible?” Lin Wan’er was the first to react. She quickly ran to Chu Mengmeng and helped her up. “Mengmeng, don’t talk nonsense. How could you not be the eldest daughter of the Chu family?”

"It's true..." Chu Mengmeng couldn't hold back her tears. "This jade pendant in my hand is proof of my identity... I am the daughter of Princess Yunmeng..."

She handed the jade pendant to Lin Wan'er and looked at her with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of helplessness and confusion.

"This..." Lin Wan'er took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, but was speechless.

Xiao Yichen felt heartbroken when he saw Chu Mengmeng's distraught look. He walked up to her, gently held her in his arms, and comforted her softly, "Mengmeng, don't be afraid. No matter who you are, you are the most important person in my heart."

Chu Mengmeng seemed not to hear his words. She just leaned in his arms blankly, tears silently falling.

"No, things may not be that simple." Murong Xue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "If the demons knew Miss Chu's true identity, they would definitely not sit idly by."

"What you mean is..." Xiao Yichen suddenly looked up, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"It is very likely that the demons will use Miss Chu's identity to stir up conflict between the royal family and the martial arts world, and reap the benefits!" Murong Xue said in a cold tone, pointing out the worst possibility.

Everyone fell into silence, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. The mystery of Chu Mengmeng's life experience was like a huge vortex that drew all of them in, and what was waiting for them would be an even more dangerous and unpredictable future...

That night, Chu Mengmeng locked herself in the room and refused to let anyone get close to her. She kept thinking back to the words of the guardian and every detail of her life from childhood to adulthood, and her heart was filled with confusion and pain.

She didn't know who she was, nor did she know where to go. She was like a lone boat, drifting on the rough sea, unable to find direction or hope...

Xiao Yichen stood outside the door, listening to the suppressed crying coming from the room, and felt heartbroken. He wanted to go in and comfort her, but he finally stopped. He knew that what Chu Mengmeng needed at this moment was not comfort, but solitude, time to accept this cruel fact... The Story of Chu Xiao Chapter 48 Heartbroken (Continued)

In the dead of night, Xiao Yichen stood outside Chu Mengmeng's door, his handsome face full of worry. The door was closed, and the candlelight shone through the window, reflecting the lonely silhouette of the woman inside. He wanted to open the door, hold her in his arms, and tell her that no matter what happened, he would be by her side.

However, he could feel that Chu Mengmeng had built a high wall in her heart, isolating her from the outside world. He was afraid that his rash intrusion would only make her more resistant.

With a sigh, Xiao Yichen turned and left. He believed that Chu Mengmeng was strong and she would be able to get through this difficult time.

However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. Chu Mengmeng's life experience was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao were overjoyed when they heard the news. They seized the opportunity and began to spread rumors in the city, portraying Chu Mengmeng as a scheming wild girl who was trying to assume her identity.

"Have you heard? That eldest lady of the Chu family is not real at all!" Aunt Zhao said to a group of noble ladies in a mysterious tone.

"Really? How is this possible?"

"It's absolutely true! I heard that the jade pendant in her hand was stolen from someone else!"

"Oh my God! I can't believe she is such a person!"

The ladies were talking among themselves, looking at Chu Mengmeng with eyes full of suspicion and contempt.

Chu Yunyao pretended to be pitiful and cried about Chu Mengmeng's evil deeds everywhere to gain sympathy.

"Sister, I know you hate me for stealing Daddy's love, but you can't slander me like this!" She cried bitterly, "How can I survive in the city in the future if you do this?"

For a time, Chu Mengmeng became the target of public criticism, and everyone avoided her. The ladies who used to care about her now treated her coldly, and even pointed fingers at her behind her back.

After Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er learned about this, they were filled with righteous indignation and ran around trying to clarify the facts. However, the rumor spread like wildfire and was difficult to extinguish.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Mengmeng is definitely not that kind of person!" Lin Wan'er pulled a familiar lady and explained anxiously.

"Who knows?" The noble lady said with disdain, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what she is thinking?"

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er tried their best to persuade her, but to little avail. Chu Mengmeng's situation became increasingly difficult...

 The Story of Chu Xiao Chapter 48: Heartbroken (Continued)

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er rushed around trying to restore Chu Mengmeng's reputation, but the rumors spread like a plague, trapping Chu Mengmeng in it. Those ladies who used to be enthusiastic about her now only gave her a few cold and perfunctory words when they met, their eyes full of suspicion and contempt, as if she were some kind of monster.

“These gossipers are so abominable!” Lin Wan’er angrily slammed the cup on the table. The tea splashed out and soaked the tablecloth, but she didn’t care at all. “I usually call Mengmeng a sister, but now they are avoiding me. The world is so fickle!”

Su Mubai frowned. He also felt unfair for Chu Mengmeng's experience, but he also understood that it would be difficult for the two of them to fight against these deep-rooted prejudices. "The most important thing now is to find evidence to prove Mengmeng's identity, so that the rumors can be completely crushed."

"But where can we find evidence?" Lin Wan'er sighed helplessly. They had tried their best to investigate, but still found nothing.

"There will always be a way." Su Mubai comforted, but there was also a hint of powerlessness in his tone.

When Chu Mengmeng was imprisoned and helpless, a mysterious figure was silently watching everything. He was in the dark, no one knew of his existence, but he had a clear view of everything.

"Chu family girl, it looks like you're in some trouble." He murmured with a hint of amusement in his tone.

Who is he? Why is he interested in Chu Mengmeng? What is the connection between him and Chu Mengmeng?

He looked at Chu Mengmeng's lonely back, with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that Chu Mengmeng must be full of pain and confusion at the moment, but he didn't plan to show up now.

"The time has not come yet," he whispered, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

He knew that Chu Mengmeng needed an opportunity, an opportunity for her to face herself and accept herself. And he would be the one to guide her.

He decided to secretly help Chu Mengmeng, so that she could gradually accept her life experience and learn how to use her power. He knew that Chu Mengmeng had a kind heart and she would become a light of this era, illuminating everyone's hope.

Chu Mengmeng locked herself in the room, refusing to eat or drink, and refused to come out no matter who knocked on the door. In her mind, it was like a movie, replaying Aunt Zhao's vicious words over and over again, and every word was like a needle, piercing her heart.

"Why? Why do you do this to me?" Chu Mengmeng hugged her knees and buried her head in her arms, her sleeves soaked with tears. She couldn't accept that she was not the real daughter of the Chu family, but a wild child of unknown origin.

At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded in my ears: "You are not alone."

Chu Mengmeng raised her head suddenly. There was no one in the room, but she was sure that she had heard it correctly. The voice seemed to have some kind of magic, soothing her inner anxiety and restlessness.

"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly.

"Someone who can help you." The voice sounded again, "You have a special bloodline, destined to be extraordinary. Those who want to use you will eventually be used by you."

Chu Mengmeng's heart was shocked. This voice seemed to see through everything about her, including the secrets she had deliberately hidden. She thought of the mysterious jade pendant and the strange power she occasionally displayed. Could it be that all this was related to her life experience?

"What do you want me to do?" Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"You need to become strong so that you can protect yourself and everything you cherish." The voice continued, "I will guide you and make you truly strong."

Chu Mengmeng fell into deep thought. She didn't know whether she should believe this voice, but her intuition told her that this might be her only way out.

"Okay, I promise you." Chu Mengmeng finally made up her mind, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious. He tried to find evidence to prove Chu Mengmeng's innocence. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also tried their best to appease those who were deceived by the rumors, but to little avail.

"Are you just going to give up like this?" Su Mubai asked worriedly, looking at Xiao Yichen with a worried look on his face.

Xiao Yichen shook his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "I believe in Mengmeng, and I believe in the relationship between us. I will definitely find out the truth and clear her name."

Just then, an unexpected person appeared in front of them.

"Murong Xue?" Su Mubai looked at the mysterious woman in front of him in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly appeared.

Murong Xue looked at them coldly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "I know what you are investigating, and I also know that you are in trouble now. I can help you, but there is a condition..."
