Time Travel and Love

Chapter 137 Old acquaintance

The next morning, the old princess, along with her daughters-in-law and grandchildren, greeted Mo Wushuang, her husband, and their children at the gate. As they exited the carriage, Mo Wushuang spotted Chu Qingmeng. After greeting her, he pulled her aside and recounted his longing for her. However, her husband, He Qi, who was walking behind Mo Wushuang, stared at Chu Qingmeng's face for a moment, then averted his gaze and joined the younger generation in chatting and laughing.

Just as they entered the house and sat down, Mo Chenfeng returned from court with Mo Liujin and his brothers. The men went to the main hall and sat down to chat. When He Qi heard Mo Wushuang mention Sister Qingmeng, whose surname was Chu, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Is it her? If he traveled to this world, would he still see someone who looked like her and had the same name as her? Then was this person her? After being distracted by his brothers' gossip for a long time, he finally excused himself and went to the bathroom. But he never expected to run into her on the way.

Chu Qingmeng's sleepiness seemed uncontrollable. She had to go back and sleep for an hour, so she found an excuse to sneak back to the yard. However, Chunhe had just been sent away to ask her to go back and get a cloak. Feiying and Feiling were not there either. Since she was not going out of the palace, she did not let them follow her.

"Qing Meng?" He Qi called out. He didn't like beating around the bush. He just wanted to confirm whether it was her.

"Who are you?" Chu Qingmeng was puzzled. She was very sure that she didn't know the other person.

"My name is He Qi, and I used to stay in an orphanage for a while." He Qi said everything clearly. If she didn't know, then he was wrong.

Chu Qingmeng had some impression of this name, but it was obviously too long ago that the memory was a little fuzzy. After thinking for a long time, he vaguely remembered, "Qiqi?"

He Qi's eyes suddenly became excited, "It's me! Qing Meng, it's really you?! You still remember me!"

"Hehe." Chu Qingmeng smiled perfunctorily. She felt that she was almost extremely sleepy. "Yes, I was always bullied at school. Wasn't she taken away and adopted? Why are you here?"

"I, should I be considered a transmigrated soul or reincarnated?" He Qi smiled innocently, "I was a baby when I woke up."

"Yeah." Chu Qingmeng no longer had the energy to chat. Seeing Feiying coming from a distance, he said perfunctorily, "Qiqi, I feel a little unwell. Let's talk again when we have time."

Waving his hand, Feiying came over in a few breaths. Chu Qingmeng grabbed his hand and said, "Feiying, I'm very sleepy. Take me back. I need to rest."

Feiying led her back to the courtyard. Chu Qingmeng lost consciousness the moment she touched the bed. Feiying found it strange that her master was still very sleepy even after four days since returning from the climb. Could her physical condition be so poor? But thinking about it, it wasn't surprising. Besides a little exercise in the courtyard, her master hardly moved at all. It was normal for her to feel tired after all that exercise, right?

He Qi, who returned here, was obviously happier than when he left, and he was more relaxed when chatting with a few people. Until lunch time, Mo Chenfeng said that the younger generations would sit by themselves today, and Mo Liufang and his brothers would sit together with their wives and spouses. This time everyone was there, so that everyone could get to know each other. Only then did they realize that Chu Qingmeng was missing, and Leng Feng whispered a few words to Mo Liujin. Mo Liujin showed a helpless expression and apologized to Mo Chenfeng, "Father, it's my fault. I took Qingmeng to climb the mountain a few days ago, but I forgot that she stayed at home all day and didn't go out. She had just recovered from a serious illness. After climbing the mountain, Qingmeng was exhausted and had no energy the whole day. She was really tired just now, so she went back to rest, and now she is coming here."

Mo Chenfeng smiled and nodded without saying anything. Mo Wushuang smiled and teased, "Third brother, you should be more considerate of my sister Qingmeng. After all these years, you really haven't been considerate at all!"

The brothers all laughed out loud after some teasing. He Qi was obviously stunned for a moment. Mo Liujin laughed and scolded, "You have become more and more bold because of your seventh brother-in-law's pampering. Even your third brother is making fun of you?"

As everyone chatted and laughed, Chu Qingmeng walked in, looking a little tired. Chunhe supported Chu Qingmeng, feeling something was amiss. Why were her symptoms so similar to when she was pregnant with the two young masters? Was she suddenly drowsy like this back then? Could it be...? Never mind. I'll tell the Third Master tomorrow when I'm free. If it's really what I think, I better be careful!

After everyone was seated, Mo Wushuang began introducing them. He Qi was quite familiar with the several uncles present, but he didn't see his third uncle that often. After introducing his third uncle Mo Liujin, Mo Wushuang said solemnly, "He Qi, this is my sister Qingmeng, whom I often mentioned to you. She is also my third sister-in-law."

He Qi was stunned. Why would Qingmeng be with Mo Liujin, who was so much older than her? In his heart, Chu Qingmeng should be with a young man of extraordinary talent, not an old general like him. Seeing He Qi stunned, Mo Wushuang kicked him under the table and raised his glass, saying, "Let's toast to Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. I really miss her so much!"

He Qi came back to his senses and saw Chu Qingmeng waiting for him with a glass of wine in hand. He quickly raised his glass, but when he saw the smile in her eyes, he felt a flash of empathy between her and the little girl who had chased away the group of bullies under the maple tree that day. Mo Wushuang frowned slightly and kicked him again, and He Qi quickly apologized and drank the wine in his hand.
