Is there really such a good thing in this world? Chapter 1

Chapter 1 :The arrival of the salted fish

"Oh, Madam Meng! Please let go of the old servant!"

"Hurry... Xiuyun Xiuli, pull Madam Meng away, oh..."

The two maids hurried over to pull the person, but they couldn't move him with enough force, so they couldn't lift him up for a while.

Lumeng relied on her hands and feet to climb onto an old nanny, and as she did so, she attacked indirectly by biting and hitting with her elbows and knees, causing the old lady to scream in pain.

Meanwhile, Lumeng was thinking about the pleasure she would feel when she heard the sound of the duck, how was it pronounced?

Yes, yes, yes!

Lumeng wasn't bad, she was just acting according to the dramatic context, where this essential powerful aphrodisiac was placed on the old nanny's cup of tea.

As the saying goes, "Take from the people and use for the people"... Is that the correct saying?

Let's not mince words! The effect of the drug has left Lumeng's mind in a mess.

But she stuck to one idea, at least this medicine was given by her grandmother, so let's use her to solve the problem!

Lumeng felt intense heat in her chest and dryness in her mouth, she was very uncomfortable, and she hoped in her heart that there would be no irreversible side effects to this powerful drug, then she muttered and bit the grandmother's shoulder again.

"Ah... Ah..."

The grandmother was from the palace, given the surname "Wu" by Prince Jian'an, she was the wet nurse of Prince Jian'an, and she was also the grandmother of Prince Jian'an in the Prince Jian'an Palace.

She had never experienced such physical pain in her life, so she became a crawling bug on the ground.

"Where are the people? Help me! Help me..."

The grandmother's screams were piercing, but the people outside the room were sent away by her, and the guards dared not enter the room.

After all, the madwoman who bites people is in the room, only Princess Jian'an has four bearers, and she just returned from the celebration, and Lady Ming is still in her new marriage..

Finally, with the help of Xiuyun and Xiuli, they managed to pull Lumeng away from the grandmother. Lumeng felt the heat in her cheeks and sweated, and it seemed that the drug's effect had diminished slightly, so she decided to stop biting and gently get up.

"Grandma, grandma..."

Xiuyun supported Lumeng, while Xiuli hurried to support the grandmother. As a result, Lumeng broke free from Xiuyun again at this moment, seeming unsatisfied, and rushed towards the grandmother.

With her hands outstretched as if to grab the grandmother, she seemed disoriented, her beautiful face adorned with a red wedding dress, her cheeks blushing, her lips slightly parted, looking innocent and pure.

She looked like a little angel, but the words she spoke were like demonic whispers to the grandmother.

"It's hot, it's hot... Please let me hug you, give me some water..."

Before the grandmother could even get up, she was frightened and continued to crawl on the ground, shouting sharply, "Prepare the bath! Quickly take Madam Meng to bathe!"

Then Lumeng was "restrained" and finally taken to bathe by the maids.

As she soaked in the lukewarm water, Lumeng's rationality finally returned completely.

Her first reaction was that everything depicted in TV dramas was indeed deceptive. She couldn't believe that without a man to relieve the effects of the aphrodisiac, she couldn't regain control of herself.

Now, Lumeng felt it was all nonsense. This wasn't the most potent aphrodisiac found in melodramatic novels; at most, it was like drinking too much while having a fever. All she needed was an old grandmother plus a bucket of water to solve it.

However, Lumeng's second reaction was one of worry.

Worry indeed.

Despite having read countless time-traveling novels and watched numerous movies and TV dramas about time-traveling, Lumeng never expected that she could be hit by a slippery skateboarder and end up dying from a fall by the roadside.

It seems that all wheeled transportation in this world poses a deadly risk.

With her extensive modern knowledge and experience in reading novels, Lumeng didn't react as if she were in a real-life hidden camera prank show.

Moreover, the moment she arrived after time-traveling, she was sitting alone in the room covered with a blanket, and she secretly made some adjustments under the cover, such as biting the golden ornament of her crown.

Real gold!

No production team possesses such immense wealth to use pure gold in setting up background decorations like crowns. Even in the film and television industry, this is not logical...

Now, Lumeng is Langsun Lumeng, the famous protagonist of sadomasochistic love stories, belonging to the first generation of harsh romantic tales known for enduring suffering and losing children, where the heroine and her entire family must die before her love story with the protagonist begins.

This scene is inspired by the lines spoken by the old woman after she was served tea and had finished drinking it.

Lumeng had been reading this book for many years, but in Lumeng's time, this book was among the romance novels that enjoyed moderate popularity among aficionados of melodramatic literature.

The well-known lines from the novel sparked significant controversy on online forums, with the author receiving criticism on several pages.

And what melodramatic tale would be complete without a wicked grandmother?

In this novel, this grandmother's antics were just as irritating as those of Zha Ziwei's grandmother in another story.

At that moment, Lumeng was confused, and the grandmother's words affected her deeply: "There are many rules in Prince Jianan's palace, and respect is of utmost importance here. Having managed this palace for many years, in order to prevent Lady Ming from making future mistakes and angering the prince, I will give her an early lesson today on how to serve people properly, to avoid Lady Ming behaving improperly in front of the prince."

At that moment, Lumeng's thoughts raced, and something akin to principles shattered in her mind.

Lumeng would have felt more at ease if she had been wearing the novel a little earlier, before being exposed to the effects of the sedative.

But why did the problem have to occur in this particular book?

This book couldn't have transmigrated into anyone better. Even the supporting characters had good endings, so why did it have to be the female lead?!

The female lead in this book licked the male lead for her entire life, only to end up in a big coffin in the end. She was bullied by all kinds of people, including stray dogs on the roadside, showcasing the epitome of melodramatic torture, enough to give someone breast nodules.

Lumeng, soaking in the water, wiped her face and felt the road ahead was difficult.

"Lady Meng," a maid spoke from outside, sounding like one of the two who had pulled her earlier.

"Has Lady Meng finished bathing? Does she need the servant to come in and attend to her?" The maid paused and added, "It's almost over outside, and the prince is coming soon."

Lumeng felt the effects of the drug dissipating, and the water was getting cold, so she responded.

She hadn't memorized and transcribed the entire text of this novel, not even the last two characters of the female lead's name matched hers in pronunciation.

Therefore, Lumeng was not knowledgeable about ancient times, only utterly clueless.

She had bitten the old woman earlier because she didn't want to walk into the first night of marriage only to pounce on the male lead due to the effects of the drug.

Now, Lumeng adapted to the situation and let the maid help her put on her wedding dress again. Then she was helped to sit on the edge of the bed, waiting for Prince Jianan to come in for their wedding night—yeah right.

Lumeng remembered the original plot: Long Sun Lumeng endured the effects of the drug until the male lead arrived, and then she couldn't resist. She pushed down the slightly tipsy male lead... And then on the first day of marriage, she was treated as a scheming woman with loose morals.

From then on, the story unfolded into over ten years of physical and emotional torment, until the male lead ascended to the throne and posthumously conferred the title of "Empress Hui Chun" upon Zhangsun Lumeng.

Lumeng couldn’t remember if there were concubines after that, as she had stopped reading when the female lead died, leaving dozens of chapters unread.

But with the death of the child and the posthumous conferment of the title, considering the author’s inclination to include every conceivable trope, it was impossible that the male lead didn’t resort to the doppelgänger trope.

Lumeng put the red veil back on, looking at the pearl strands of the phoenix crown she had previously bitten, and tried hard to recall the plot of the book, only to find she could remember a few key points.

Having read the book so many years ago, it was too much to expect her to remember everything now.

Before Lumeng could recall much of the important plot, she heard a maid’s soft voice at the door: "My lord."

Lumeng stiffened and quickly sat upright.

The door opened, and someone walked in, with unhurried steps, until they reached Lumeng's side. From under the veil, Lumeng could only see a pair of white boots.

She thought to herself strangely, "These feet aren't big, probably size 42."

Then the man moved to the table, picked up the white jade ruyi on it, and slowly lifted Lumeng's veil with it.

According to the dramatic and melodramatic stories in various TV shows, this should be the moment where the female lead slowly lifts her head, her eyes dazed by the male lead's god-like appearance and majestic aura, and falls in love at first sight.

This would then start the plot where "I love you, you don't love me, and if you don't love me, I'll commit suicide."

Lumeng promptly lowered her head, slumped her shoulders, trying to appear as weak, helpless, and pitiable as possible, like a sickly little chick, wishing she could tuck her head into her chest.

"As long as I don't lift my head, the plot can't catch me."

The man standing in front of her was named Wu Lin... something that Lu Meng couldn't quite remember. In any case, he wasn't a kind person. The description in the story portrayed him as a heavenly being descended to earth, but Lu Meng saw him as a ruthless man beneath his angelic facade.

Lu Meng was just hoping that he would find her repulsive and leave quickly.

Wu Linxuan looked down at his wife, who was almost bowing to the ground, and fiddled with the jade engravings on the ruyi in his long fingers, feeling strangely amused.

Perhaps it was because his good fourth brother had been angry throughout the banquet today, unable to marry the daughter of the assistant minister in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, thereby failing to forge an alliance with the assistant minister.

Or maybe it was because...

Wu Linxuan extended the white jade ruyi again, this time bypassing the drooping curtains of the phoenix crown, gently touching the chin of this woman who didn't dare to lift her head to look at him, making her slowly raise her head.

Wu Linxuan liked beauties who cried... but she didn't cry?

Lu Meng felt goosebumps all over. What kind of situation was this!

But she obediently followed the ruyi in Wu Linxuan's hand, slowly lifting her head.

However, her eyes were still stubbornly cast downward, her face expressionless... because Lu Meng didn't know what expression was appropriate.

Wu Linxuan looked at this face, his eyes narrowing slightly, and somewhat understood why his fourth brother's face was so unpleasant tonight.

His fourth brother was obsessed with beauty. Even if there was no way to form an alliance with the assistant minister, this pure beauty was perfectly to his liking.

Unfortunately.

Wu Linxuan chuckled to himself.

"Why not take a look at this prince?" he spoke lightly, and if one of his followers were present, they would understand that his mood was indeed good tonight.

When Wu Linxuan was in a good mood, he was easy to talk to.

But Lu Meng hadn't even noticed the attractive male lead's sparking voice so far, as she was completely preoccupied trying to suppress a sneeze.

As is well known, sneezes cannot be suppressed, like coughing, poverty, and love, they cannot be hidden.

When she hadn't lifted her head before, things were fine, but now that she had lifted her head, she found herself facing the flickering candlelight on the table.

Where there's light, there's sneezing, and those two mushrooms-like thick red candles, clearly of poor quality, were emitting black smoke.

The room was filled with the smell of wax, and Lu Meng couldn't bear it, so she let out a powerful sneeze: "Ah-choo!"

She sneezed so hard that tears came to her eyes.

Then, through the ornate curtains hanging from the phoenix coronet, Lu Meng lifted her head, tears in her eyes, and looked at Wu Linxuan.

Brother, why haven't you left? Are you really afraid of spending the wedding night?

Hmm... this appearance, sigh.

The standard descriptions of the male lead, like his eyebrows resembling distant mountains, eyes sparkling like stars, nose like a suspended gallbladder, and face like a sharp knife... are not too exaggerated.

Luming, with tears in her eyes, looked at Wulin Xuan and thought, especially these legs... won't they get tired from being touched all night?

The bridal chamber is also acceptable, isn't it? Is this part of the underworld's allocation? There are no distributed slips of paper after death?

"هيه..." رأى وولين شوان عيون الجميلة تتحول إلى اللون الأحمر والرطبة، وتم استيفاء بعض التفضيلات التي لا يمكن تفسيرها.

لقد شعر بتحسن أكبر، حيث كانت عيناه الشبيهة بالعنقاء منحنية قليلاً، وتشكل خطافات مميتة في الزوايا.

عند النظر إلى هذا الجمال الباكي، مثل غزال مذهول من ابتسامته، خفضت رأسها على الفور مرة أخرى، وكانت راضية جدًا عن مظهرها الخجول.

وعلى غرار نتائج التحقيق معه، فضل نائب وزير المناسك خليلة له وقتل زوجته. زوجة أحلامه، في القصر، عاشت حياة سيئة، خجولة وخائفة من المتاعب، تبكي طوال الوقت.

وجود مثل هذا الشخص حولك يوفر الكثير من المتاعب.

عندما رأى وولين شوان أنه أخافها، وضع روي اليشم الأبيض في يده ووقف بجانب الطاولة، وسكب لنفسه كأسًا من النبيذ، ووضعه على شفتيه.

هذا نخب، لكنه لم يكن ينوي شربه مع تلك الجميلة التي خطط للاحتفاظ بها كمزهرية.

بعد شرب كأس من النبيذ، نظر وولين شوان إلى الرقبة البيضاء الرقيقة للمرأة الجميلة، والتي بدت وكأنها يمكن قطعها بيد واحدة، وقالت: "إذا أصبحت زوجة أحلام هذا الملك، في المستقبل، يمكنك استخدام الذهب والفضة في القصر كما تريد، وهذا الملك يمكن أن يضمن لك عمرًا من الثروة والراحة، طالما كنت مطيعًا ولا تحاول أن تطمع فيما ليس لك.

سمعت لومينج ذلك فجأة ورفعت رأسها بحدة، محدثة "طقطقة" عالية، كادت أن تكسر رقبتها.

مع كل هذه المجوهرات واليشم المتمايلة، نظرت إلى وجه البطل الوسيم، وشعرت بالإثارة وبكت مرة أخرى.

استخدم الذهب والفضة كما يحلو لك.
