Rebirth Of The Scum Girl (Female Dominant)

The fate of those handsome young men didn’t concern many people. This little drama seemed to have never happened, and as the biggest festival of the year approached, everyone began wearing their false masks again, as if there had never been any disputes among family members.

Spring arrived in the blink of an eye. Besides the delicious Laba porridge, the unique spring dishes, the closest symbol of reunion was the Lantern Festival.

This was Liang Jue’s second Lantern Festival with Shen Meng in this lifetime. During the previous Lantern Festival, Liang Jue was still green and shy, like a young fruit on the verge of ripening. He would blush and feel shy in front of her, but he was sincere.

This year’s Lantern Festival, he had improved a lot since then. He would say things to her that he could never say in his previous life, and his jealousy seemed to be about the same as in the previous life. But because she had different experiences, she didn’t find his jealousy annoying.

After all, a truly devoted husband would inevitably feel possessive. How could he bear to see his beloved tainted by others?

During the Lantern Festival, Liang Jue said he felt bored, so she put down what she was doing and accompanied him to the lantern fair for a while. Of course, the servants from the mansion followed them to ensure their safety. At first, everything was fine.

As dusk fell and the stars twinkled, amidst the flickering lanterns, a beautiful smile graced her face. With such a handsome and conversationally adept husband by her side, his every gesture was filled with deep affection.

As the legitimate husband, she could walk hand in hand with him openly, unafraid of idle gossip.

She had never gone to the Lantern Festival with Liang Jue in her previous life, but now, holding hands, she felt that despite the noise, the experience wasn’t unpleasant.

This was obviously a good start, but the ending didn’t make her feel very good, or more accurately, it didn’t make Liang Jue happy.

And now she was turned away, because of a drama from a few days ago during the Lantern Festival.

Liang Jue didn’t actually refuse to let her into their room at night; when it really came down to it, he would always open the door for her.

No matter how much he sulked, he had a limit and would never let Shen Meng suffer because of it.

But these days were like a low period for him, his body and mind felt rusty, his thoughts stagnant.

Every time he experienced this, his body would ache terribly. This time, his low period had been pushed back a few days, and since he was already more irritable than usual, coupled with the incident during the Lantern Festival, he was bound to be in a bad mood.

Shen Meng could understand his discomfort and felt aggrieved: “It’s not like I can do anything about it. If someone is in danger in front of you, you can’t just ignore it.”

The whole courtyard was very quiet. After a while, Liang Jue’s voice came from inside the door, “Nonsense! If it were someone else, you probably wouldn’t care at all. You’re just interested in that pretty boy.”

Liang Jue was right about this. That pretty boy was indeed very attractive, and more accurately, he was perfectly tailored to Shen Meng’s aesthetic preferences.

Almost as if he were crafted according to her ideal type, not too charmingly flirtatious, nor too cold and aloof. Just right, it was simply perfect for her.

Although she didn’t personally save the man, she had been entangled with him afterward.

Moreover, the man wasn’t even from their country, so for the sake of friendly relations between the two nations, as a loyal subject, she couldn’t afford to make things too ugly.

Shen Meng pondered that her recent string of bad luck with love affairs was a bit too much. Initially, she had encountered a group in the courtyard, then she stumbled upon another one outside, and it was a particularly tricky one that she couldn’t just get rid of.

For others, this might be a pleasant encounter, enjoying the pleasures of being surrounded by admirers. But for her, it was just a hassle.

And her intuition told her that this was definitely a carefully planned encounter.
