Saving from a slap in the face
He promised to send someone to safely escort Chen Sheng back to the Prime Minister's residence, and confidently assured her that he would arrange for Chen Sheng and Xu You to get married within a month, as he loved helping others achieve their goals.
Chen Sheng said: Can we not do this favor?
Helpless and to save his life, Chen Sheng agreed with a forced smile and even thanked him affectionately.
We arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
"Young Miss, you're back! I'll go and report to the Prime Minister right away."
Upon seeing Chen Sheng alight from the carriage, the gatekeeper immediately went up respectfully to greet him.
Chen Sheng imitated the original owner's behavior and gave the order exactly as he had been instructed: "Okay, go and report it."
"Yes, Miss!" The gatekeeper ran in happily, while the other gatekeeper continued to stand guard.
"You've worked hard, remember to get some rest." The persona absolutely cannot collapse; it would be disastrous if it were discovered that I'm a fake.
"Thank you for your consideration, Miss. I'm not tired at all," the female guard said sternly.
Chen Sheng smiled and remained silent. Phew, thank goodness, her public image was protected.
Walking inside, one finds a typical official's residence, subtly imbued with scholarly culture, its landscape harmonious and well-designed. The mansion is interconnected, with each courtyard possessing a unique style.
Because of her charming and likable nature, the original owner lived in the safest and quietest courtyard. The courtyard's design was among the best in the mansion, and it was the largest courtyard in the mansion, second only to the main courtyard where the Prime Minister lived.
On the contrary, the female lead, as a character who makes a comeback, is bound to be the most beautiful, receive the worst treatment, and have poor interpersonal relationships.
However... after she exposed the original owner's true nature as a green tea bitch, her luck soared, making her the most likable woman and topping the "Women Every Man Wants to Marry" list.
Sigh, we still have to face it, let's not mess up the novel's plot for now.
As an ordinary college entrance exam candidate, Chen Sheng was still thinking about her answer sheet, so much so that she was absent-minded even when she walked up to the Prime Minister.
"Why is my son so distraught? Has he been frightened?" Prime Minister Chen asked with concern from the main seat, waking Chen Sheng.
"Mother, I'm fine, just a little tired. Fortunately, I've returned to the Prime Minister's residence and met you safely." Chen Sheng bowed, which was actually just a simple salutation.
Two people sat in the main seat: the Prime Minister and the original owner's father, who was later married to Lady Wang.
At this moment, he looked at Chen Sheng with concern, checking her for any injuries. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard "she's safe and sound." "My lady, since A-Sheng is safe and sound, let her go back to her room to rest."
"Hmm." Prime Minister Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Asheng, you should go back to your room now. You will accompany your mother to the palace the day after tomorrow to attend the banquet."
"Yes, Mother. Your daughter takes her leave."
Stepping out of the hall, Chen Sheng was filled with excitement. At the banquet, his beloved had recognized the female lead at first glance and secretly arranged a game for her. Meanwhile, the male lead had also fallen in love with her at first sight and petitioned the Empress for a marriage decree, allowing him to marry her.
Then… hehehe, her plan will begin.
First, go back to your room and change into the clothes described in the book. Then, lead your men to mock the female lead, only to be slapped in the face by her, thus completing the initial task of the female lead leveling up and defeating monsters.
The courtyard where Chen Sheng lives is named Biluo because… the original owner liked green?! What kind of strange quirk is that?
The underworld? That name has a profound meaning.
As its name suggests, the courtyard was filled with green trees, green grass, and green flower pots. Even the maids wore green, creating a truly green world.
Honestly, this green color isn't good for the eyes either...
Upon entering the master bedroom, Chen Sheng began to dress. According to the book's description, Chen Sheng wore a long emerald green robe, his black hair tied up high with a green hairpin, his hair flowing like a waterfall, his figure upright and proud, not to be underestimated.
But who would have thought that the person described in this book would only live to one-tenth of its full lifespan? It was truly a cruel twist of fate.
All dressed up, now it's time to...
"Li Mo!"
"Miss, did you call me?"
Following the sound came a woman dressed in black, the only woman in the area wearing a short black dress.
Li Mo has regular features yet a gentle demeanor; he looks clean and neat, yet possesses an elegant and graceful air.
After reading it, Chen Sheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go and find ten people to come with me to visit the Second Miss."
"Yes." Li Mo immediately took action after hearing this, just like her, without any hesitation.
"This person is capable, quite good, but unfortunately... he only has a month to live..."
Yes, in the original novel, Li Mo was assassinated by the male lead's men because the original owner of the body offended the female lead, which happened a month later.
"It seems... we need to speed things up." Chen Sheng looked thoughtfully at the maids gathered in the courtyard, then adjusted his persona, revealing a hint of the unyielding spirit of bamboo.
"Everyone, please follow me!"
"Yes!" the crowd answered in unison, their voices resounding like a mighty mountain.
Chen Sheng walked ahead, while Li Mo lagged behind. The neatly arranged maids, all looking energetic and ready for important business, rushed towards An Yi Courtyard.
—————
Inside An Yi Courtyard, Chen Han climbed out of the well, like a demon from hell seeking death.
Xu Xianghua, I, Ye Cangming, have guarded the border for you for decades with unwavering loyalty, yet I have ended up being skinned alive.
Fortunately, Heaven has eyes and has given me a second chance at life. In this life, I vow to take my revenge. You owe me a life, and it's time to pay it back!
Chen Han quickly received the information from this body, deployed a plan, and vowed to pay for his blood debt in this lifetime!
"Bang!"
The dilapidated courtyard gate was kicked to the ground. Chen Han looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a green robe leading a group of people in green clothes into the courtyard with a provocative expression.
This is the daughter of Chancellor Chen Lin and his second husband, Lady Wang, named Chen Sheng. She was originally the eldest daughter of a concubine, but because her father ascended the throne, she became the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife.
After learning all the information about Chen Sheng, Chen Han's anger flared up instantly. Chen Sheng would often come here with her maid to provoke Chen Han, bully and humiliate her, and even after reporting it to Chen Lin, she still acted like a scheming woman.
"You despicable person!" Chen Han spat fiercely. In her previous life, this was the kind of person she despised most. In this life, she was determined to help the original owner reclaim what belonged to her!
