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

"I'm afraid that Young Master Xiao is not a good man." The elder's words were like thunder, exploding in Chu Mengmeng's ears. She widened her eyes in disbelief.

The elder sighed and handed her a secret letter, which described in detail how Xiao Yichen deliberately approached the Chu family for the benefit of the family and concealed the fact that he was already engaged.

The truth pierced Chu Mengmeng's heart like a sharp blade. She stumbled back, and the letter in her hand fell to the ground. She couldn't believe that Xiao Yichen, who was gentle and considerate and lived with her day and night, had been deceiving her.

However, the facts were before her eyes, and she could not help but believe it. Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and anger in her heart, and resolutely announced the cancellation of her engagement with Xiao Yichen, and exposed his true face in public.

Xiao Yichen's plot was exposed, and he left the Chu family in disgrace. However, Chu Mengmeng won the respect and admiration of everyone with her wisdom and courage.

After experiencing this storm, Chu Mengmeng became more mature and strong. She no longer blindly believed in anyone, but learned to use her own eyes to judge right from wrong.

Time passed quietly, and Chu Mengmeng finally chose to marry Xiao Yichen. Despite the previous twists and turns, her love for Xiao Yichen did not completely dissipate. Xiao Yichen also deeply reflected on his mistakes and vowed to be good to Chu Mengmeng for the rest of his life.

The two held a low-key and warm wedding in their mansion, with no red tape, only sincere commitment between them.

After the marriage, Chu Mengmeng used her superb cooking skills to prepare a sumptuous banquet for Xiao Yichen and everyone in the mansion. The table was filled with delicacies, and the aroma was mouth-watering. Everyone sat around the table, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Chu Mengmeng looked at the happy scene in front of her, and her heart was filled with happiness. After all the twists and turns before, she finally found her own destination.

The days after marriage were peaceful and sweet. Xiao Yichen took good care of Chu Mengmeng and spoiled her almost to the sky. In order to let her relax, Xiao Yichen specially turned down a few days of official duties and took her to visit the famous places of interest in the capital.

It was a fine spring day, and the two of them rode in a carriage, enjoying the scenery along the way. The wheels rolled, passing through the bluestone-paved streets, with shops lined up on both sides and the sound of hawking. Chu Mengmeng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at this bustling city curiously, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

They went to the famous royal garden outside the city, with pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water, and the scenery was beautiful. Chu Mengmeng was like a happy little bird, flying among the flowers, and laughing like a silver bell from time to time. Xiao Yichen followed behind her, looking at her gently with a doting smile on his face.

They also went boating on the lake. The lake was sparkling, and the breeze blew Chu Mengmeng's hair and also touched Xiao Yichen's heartstrings. The two of them snuggled together, whispering, feeling this rare tranquility and beauty.

After a few days, Chu Mengmeng had a lot of fun and gradually integrated into the life of this era. After returning to the mansion, she was still in high spirits and didn't want to stay in the boudoir, so she ran to Xiao Yichen's study to find some fun.

Xiao Yichen's study was antique, and the bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, from classics to poetry and songs. Chu Mengmeng flipped through the books casually, but her eyes were attracted by an ancient book.

The book had no title and the cover was yellowed, obviously it was quite old. Chu Mengmeng curiously opened the book and found that it was densely packed with strange symbols and patterns, and there were some notes next to them, but they were all words she had never seen before.

"What book is this?" Chu Mengmeng asked curiously.

"Oh, you're talking about this. This is an ancient book about formations." Xiao Yichen came over after hearing the voice and explained with a smile, "I'll also study it in my spare time."

"Formation?" Chu Mengmeng suddenly became interested. "What is a formation? What is its use?"

"Arrays are profound and cannot be explained in a few words." Seeing her interest, Xiao Yichen patiently explained, "To put it simply, arrays use the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to form various wonderful arrays that can be used for attack, defense, trapping enemies, etc."

"It sounds amazing!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes lit up, "Can you teach me?" "Of course, but the formation is not something that can be learned overnight. It requires a long period of study and practice." Xiao Yichen rubbed her hair lovingly, "If you really want to learn, I will teach you slowly in the future."

"That's great!" Chu Mengmeng excitedly hugged his arms, happy like a child.

From that day on, Chu Mengmeng began to learn the formation from Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen was very patient and explained the complex formation knowledge in an easy-to-understand way. He also demonstrated it himself and took her to practice step by step. Although Chu Mengmeng was a little clumsy, she studied hard, practiced diligently, and made rapid progress.

The two of them often stayed in the study for a whole day, sometimes arguing over the changes in a formation, and sometimes smiling at each other because they solved a difficult problem. In the process of learning, they not only enhanced their understanding of each other, but also deepened their feelings.

However, a peaceful and happy life is always short-lived.

On this day, Chu Mengmeng was practicing setting up an array in the garden when a servant came running over in a hurry with a letter in his hand.

"Young Madam, there is a letter for you."

Chu Mengmeng took the envelope and found that there was no signature on it, only the words "The eldest lady of the Chu family" were written on it. She wondered who would write to her?

She opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, glanced through it quickly, and her face suddenly turned pale.

The content of the letter was simple, but it was like a bombshell, causing huge waves in her calm heart.

The letter said that her family was not an ordinary merchant family, but had guarded a secret for generations, and she was the key to unlocking the secret. At the end of the letter, an address was left, asking her to go there alone on a full moon night.

Chu Mengmeng's fingers trembled slightly, and her heart was filled with shock and uneasiness. The family secret? The key to unlocking the secret? What was going on?
