Time Travel and Love

The two men helped Chu Qingmeng back to her room. Along the way, they wanted to ask her several times, but they were afraid that Chu Qingmeng would not tell them, so they suppressed their doubts. But Chu Qingmeng suddenly said, "Don't tell your father about what happened today."

The two brothers looked at Chu Qingmeng in astonishment, "Mother?"

Chu Qingmeng knew they were thinking the wrong thing when he saw their expressions, and said helplessly, "What are you thinking! But at this age, if something happens... what will happen?"

"So, you chose not to tell me?" Mo Liujin walked over, reeking of alcohol. His chest heaving with sweat, his face thick with sweat, clearly having run all the way back. Chu Qingmeng looked at him in surprise, and Mo Liujin explained, "The secret guards reported him to the mansion. I abandoned my horse and rode my luck all the way back."

Seeing him like this, Chu Qingmeng laughed out loud, "You're old now, so please don't do stupid things all the time, okay?"

"You know I'm old, so you should try to trust me for once." Mo Liujin took Chu Qingmeng from Mo Jiangche and helped her walk into the yard. Chu Qingmeng didn't say a word, but just followed him slowly into the yard. He helped her into the house and sat her on the couch, then turned to the two brothers and said, "You guys look after your mother, I'll be back soon."

Chu Qingmeng was startled when he heard this and grabbed Mo Liujin's hand, "Don't go! What are you going to do? Have you forgotten that you were starving and kneeling in the ancestral hall for five days? At your age, if I punish you by your uncle to be starved and kneeling for five days again, will I ever see you again?! Can you please stop scaring me?! You are already grandfathers. If you are punished to kneel in the ancestral hall again, do you two still have the face to do it? Don't be impulsive! Have someone prepare a car tomorrow so that I can go to the border! It doesn't matter how slowly I walk on the road! As long as I can leave the capital! Cough cough cough..."

"Qing Meng!" Mo Liujin was startled. Seeing that her face was red from coughing and she was out of breath, he hurriedly helped her to breathe. Mo Jiangche took out a pill for her to take. Mo Jiangqing also brought her some hot tea and she drank it. Only then did she slowly calm down her breathing. "Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault. I shouldn't have teased you. I was going to the bathroom, not to look for him."

Hearing this, Chu Qingmeng shook off Mo Liujin's hand, covered his chest to steady his pounding heart, and cursed, "Get out!"

Mo Liujin waited for her to calm down before saying with a smile, "Why are you scared now? You weren't like this back then. If he said you didn't want to hear it, you would just slap him in the face. Why are you so scared now?"

"Get lost! I was never afraid of him!" Chu Qingmeng angrily hit Mo Liujin. Mo Liujin grabbed her hand and sat down, listening to her. "Before, I was alone, my life was worthless, and I would fight if I didn't obey. But later, I couldn't do that anymore. I knew that no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't touch me, but he could touch you. I never knew that the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children could give him the upper hand over you forever. You know, I've never been exposed to these things. I didn't understand it before, but after I understood it, I became afraid." Chu Qingmeng smiled bitterly and explained to Mo Liujin, "When I knocked you unconscious and left the capital, it wasn't just because of your mother. It was because I had decided to leave you from the beginning when I was with you. I didn't want to implicate you. You need a good marriage as a backing even more than Mo Liufang. I knew I couldn't give you anything, so leaving was inevitable. If it weren't for the plague in Zhuxian County, I would have traveled all over the world long ago. It's also possible," Chu Qingmeng suddenly had the urge to tease Mo Liujin and said deliberately, "I might marry Feiying. After all, I have his indenture."

Feiying fell from the beam with a plop, his face flushed. He had feelings for Chu Qingmeng, but didn't dare to dwell on them too much. He said awkwardly, "Master, you're joking. Can you please stop treating me like a burden? You're so happy! Tomorrow, the Third Master will throw me back to the Dark Guard Camp to be punished!"

Mo Liujin waved his hand to signal him to go out, automatically ignoring her words about marrying Feiying. He touched her face and said, "Don't think too much. The identity of a bastard is not good in many ways. The only good thing is that you marry me. As for the rest, if I want it, I will earn it myself. Also," Mo Liujin pinched Chu Qingmeng's face and said, "We can't leave for the time being. The emperor may have other arrangements. If we need to leave, it will take a month or two. What's more, your injury is not healed. I won't let you leave so early. When we went to Zhu County, I had no choice. At that time, I was too weak to protect you, so I could only let you drag your seriously injured body to Zhu County to find me. I won't do that now."

"No matter what, don't get into conflict with him. You don't want this matter to get out of hand and end up with me being forced to hang myself, right?" Chu Qingmeng still warned with concern.

Mo Liujin laughed, "I'm here, that won't happen. Okay, I really need to go to the bathroom. Let these two brats accompany you. Don't go out when it's cold."

After saying that, he stood up and left, giving Mo Jiangqing a wink. Mo Jiangqing followed him out the door. Mo Liujin instructed, "Hold your mother. I'm going out for a while. Don't let her find out that I'm out."

"Father?" Mo Jiangqing looked at Mo Liujin in surprise, "Didn't mother say..."

"You can't listen to your mother about this kind of thing. I agreed, but I just don't want her to worry. If it's not handled properly, given your mother's temper, she might not even dare to leave the room. Okay, you can go back." Mo Liujin left the Princess's Mansion in a few steps.
