Rebirth Of The Scum Girl (Female Dominant) - Chapter 66

Upon learning that the distinguished guest welcomed by Shen Meng and Meng Zhai into the mansion was Xue Ning, Liang Jue had been restless. Using his discomfort as an excuse, he ended the lesson for Meng Zhai’s husband early today.

If Xue Ning hadn’t appeared, he would almost have forgotten about the past between him and Xue Ning. There was one thing he had kept from Shen Meng all along: since their daughter, Shen Ping An, was born, he had often dreamed intermittently of himself in another world.

In that world, there was him, Shen Meng, and Xue Ning, but their daughter, Shen Ping An, was absent. Because Shen Ping An hadn’t been born yet, he had a miscarriage, and they didn’t even know if the child was a boy or a girl.

In that world, Shen Meng wasn’t kind to him at all. The only thing that hadn’t changed was his love for her, even to the point of divorcing her to fulfill Shen Meng’s wishes.

No, there was still a difference. In this life, he was much more possessive than the Liang Jue in those dreams. If Shen Meng wanted to divorce him to marry Xue Ning, he would absolutely not agree and wouldn’t allow it to happen.

When Shen Meng returned to the mansion, Liang Jue still maintained this uneasy state. However, today’s impact from Xue Ning was quite significant, and for a moment, she didn’t pay attention to Liang Jue’s mood.

It wasn’t until Liang Jue asked, “I heard that today the Lord brought back a distinguished guest from outside.”

“It’s not just any distinguished guest; it’s a person of noble status,” Shen Meng replied.

Liang Jue then asked with a heavy heart, “What is the person’s identity?” He didn’t want Shen Meng to lie to him or withhold information.

Shen Meng finally glanced at him more. “You don’t usually ask about this. Why are you suddenly interested today?”

Liang Jue remained silent, only looking at Shen Meng with dark eyes.

Liang Jue had always been reserved and had his own boundaries. Thinking that there was nothing particularly important about telling him, Shen Meng closed the door and told him truthfully, “It’s the Third Prince, Xue Ning.”

Xue Ning’s mother had become the former Empress, and now Xue Ning was increasingly resembling the one she remembered.

Liang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Shen Meng had told him the truth. He figured his wife didn’t have any special thoughts about Xue Ning.

Shen Meng didn’t, but Xue Ning might still have some. Liang Jue then asked, “What did he come for this time?”

“He brought the imperial jade seal, saying he values our Lord’s promising future and has come to seek refuge, hoping for a good future for himself.”

This conversation is indeed ambiguous. A prince who is not yet married, carrying a treasure coveted by all, comes to seek refuge with a young and promising leader of the rebel army. Although the rebel leader has humble origins, beauty matches heroism. If Meng Zhai establishes his own power, he would indeed be a suitable match for the prince of the former dynasty.

Regardless of what the distinguished guest brought, a young, beautiful, and prestigious man like him would naturally arouse feelings of crisis in others. It’s no wonder Mr. Li is so flustered.

Recalling the way Meng Zhai looked at Xue Ning, Shen Meng sighed, “It seems that the Lord is interested in Xue Ning, but I worry that the goddess is willing, while the prince is heartless.”

Meng Zhai’s husband, despite his humble origins, is simple and sincere as a husband. But no matter how much he learns etiquette from Liang Jue, he will always pale in comparison to Xue Ning. Moreover, Xue Ning is truly handsome; even without makeup, he surpasses Li Wen by leaps and bounds.

“Do you know what he exchanged for the imperial jade seal?” Liang Jue’s heart skipped a beat, prompting him to ask hurriedly.

“Why are you so concerned about his affairs?” Probably due to the heavy burden on his mind, Liang Jue’s tone sounded somewhat impatient, which was unusual for him. Shen Meng, being naturally observant, sensed that something was off.

“He once admired you when he was in the capital. I’m just worried that now that he has the imperial jade seal, he wants to exchange it to become your husband.”

“What nonsense are you thinking again? That’s all many years ago.” Shen Meng never expected Liang Jue to think along these lines. She sighed, “Do you really think your wife is such a precious commodity that a prince has been pining for all these years, even now, willing to stake so much just to exchange for someone by my side?”

In Shen Meng’s mind, Xue Ning and herself actually shared some similarities. Liang Jue’s paranoid nature might lead him to such thoughts, but Xue Ning shouldn’t be capable of such things.

“Why wouldn’t it be possible?” Liang Jue muttered, “After all, such things have happened in past lives.”

Yes, perhaps those dreams were continuous and detailed enough for Liang Jue to believe they were memories of his and Shen Meng’s past lives.

His voice was low, almost deliberately suppressed, but Shen Meng’s hearing was excellent, and she heard every word clearly.

So as soon as Liang Jue finished speaking, she raised her voice, “Repeat what you just said!”

Liang Jue spoke loudly, “I said, why wouldn’t it be possible?”

“I meant the second part, where you said, ‘such things have happened in past lives.’ Can it be that Liang Jue also has memories of past lives?”

Finally unable to hold back, Liang Jue stared into Shen Meng’s eyes and said, word by word, “Yes, such things did happen in past lives. He once tried to steal my wife. Why wouldn’t he try again?”

He also wanted to know what was so special about Shen Meng that two men were so infatuated with her. Regardless of Shen Meng’s feelings, he just liked her, and that was something he couldn’t control.
