End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

After following Master Chen through many twists and turns, Fan Mengmeng finally met the old lady of the Teng Mansion.

After a series of confusing questions, Fan Mengmeng managed to cope with it with the wit of a modern person.

Although the old lady still had doubts about her, she couldn't find any evidence against her and had to let her go.

Stepping out of Teng Mansion again, Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and felt relaxed all over.

Teng Junze appeared behind her at some point and handed her a purse. "Take this and go shopping at the market."

Fan Mengmeng weighed her purse; it felt heavy, presumably containing a good deal of silver. "Thank you, sir," she said, accepting it without pretense.

The two walked side by side in the market, and the lively scene made Fan Mengmeng temporarily forget the tension in Teng Mansion.

There were so many small gadgets that she was dazzled.

Teng Junze looked at her excited expression and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew, accompanied by the sound of crisp bells.

Before Fan Mengmeng could react, she heard a sweet voice: "Cousin, you are here!"

A young girl in gorgeous clothes walked over gracefully, followed by a group of maids, with a very grand manner.

She held Teng Junze's arm and snuggled up to him affectionately, but her eyes were full of scrutiny and hostility as she looked Fan Mengmeng up and down.

Fan Mengmeng's heart was filled with alarm and she thought something was wrong.

Miss Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sweeping contemptuously over Fan Mengmeng's simple cloth clothes, "Cousin, this is..." She deliberately prolonged the ending tone, her tone full of sarcasm.

The people around began to whisper, point, and look back and forth at Fan Mengmeng.

Fan Mengmeng felt a burning sensation on her face, as if being pricked by needles.

She clenched the purse in her hand, trying to stay calm, but she didn't know how to refute.

Miss Lin saw her embarrassed look and smiled even more proudly, "This outfit is really... unique."

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and was about to speak when she saw Teng Junze gently patting Miss Lin's hand with a meaningful look in his eyes...

Teng Junze gently patted Miss Lin's hand, his eyes meaningful: "Lin Wan, please don't be rude. This is Miss Fan, a distinguished guest in my house."

Lin Wan's smile froze. Distinguished guest?

Just this outfit?

A hint of contempt flashed in her eyes, but due to Teng Junze's presence, she couldn't get angry. She could only say sarcastically, "So you're an honored guest. No wonder you're dressed so...uniquely."

Fan Mengmeng smiled gently, neither servile nor arrogant. "Miss Lin, you're joking. I'm new here and don't understand your local customs. But in my opinion, although this dress is simple in style, it's comfortable, convenient, and allows for ease of movement. Unlike your complicated dress, with its layers of layers, it's very inconvenient to move around in." She paused, her eyes falling on the exquisite embroidery on the hem of Lin Wan's skirt. "The embroidery is indeed exquisite, but the style is a bit old-fashioned. If some modern fashion elements could be incorporated, such as..." She gestured, describing the cut and design concepts of modern clothing, "This way, we can retain the traditional beauty while adding modern vitality."

The people around were originally watching the fun, but now they were listening intently.

They had never heard of such a statement and just found it novel and interesting.

A few young girls even started whispering, thinking that what Fan Mengmeng said made a lot of sense.

Teng Junze's eyes flashed with admiration, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had never expected that this seemingly ordinary girl could have such insight.

Lin Wan's face became increasingly ugly. She didn't expect that Fan Mengmeng could actually turn the situation around.

She bit her lip, rolled her eyes, and came up with a plan.

"Talking without practice is just empty talk. Miss Fan speaks so convincingly, so I'm sure you have some skills, right? How about we have a competition?"

Fan Mengmeng's heart tightened. The "skill" she knew could probably be considered a quirk in this era.

She hesitated for a moment, but seeing the expectant eyes of the people around her and Lin Wan's provocative gaze, she took a deep breath and said calmly, "What competition?"

Lin Wan smiled sweetly, with a hint of cunning in her smile, "Of course it's music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs."

Fan Mengmeng's fingers tapped lightly on the purse in her hand, her eyes falling on a few slender bamboo tubes on a roadside stall. An idea flashed through her mind... "Okay," she said with a confident smile, "but I want to make a little toy first."

Fan Mengmeng walked to the stall, bought a few bamboo tubes, and borrowed a knife from the stall owner.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, she began to cut and polish the bamboo tubes and tie them together with thin wires.

Lin Wan snorted coldly, "Playing tricks!" The people around also began to whisper, thinking that Fan Mengmeng was delaying time.

Only Teng Junze looked at Fan Mengmeng with interest, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He felt that this girl could always surprise him.

Half an hour later, a simple yet exquisite musical instrument appeared in front of everyone.

It is made up of bamboo tubes of varying lengths and looks like some kind of pan flute.

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath, put the instrument to her lips, and played it gently.

The melodious music sounded, as clear as a mountain spring and as bright as the warm spring sun.

This song is none other than the modern classic "Castle in the Sky".

The beautiful melody, unheard of in this era, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The originally noisy market was now silent, and everyone was immersed in the wonderful music.

When the song ended, everyone was still immersed in the lingering sound, unable to recover for a long time. After a while, thunderous applause broke out.

"Oh my god! What song is this? It's so beautiful!"

“I’ve never heard such beautiful music!”

“This girl is amazing!”

Lin Wan's face turned pale. She didn't expect that Fan Mengmeng could actually play such beautiful music.

She originally thought that Fan Mengmeng was just being mysterious, but unexpectedly she was slapped in the face.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Teng Junze walked over to Fan Mengmeng, gently took her hand, and looked at her gently: "Mengmeng, you really impressed me." He expressed his support for Fan Mengmeng in public, which made Lin Wan even more jealous and hateful.

Fan Mengmeng's cheeks turned slightly red, and a sweet warmth surged in her heart.

A sinister glint flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. After this setback, she would definitely not give up. What more vicious scheme would she come up with to deal with Fan Mengmeng?
