Time Travel and Love

The next day, Chu Qingmeng woke up at noon to find Mo Liujin sleeping with her arms around her, one hand clutching her bandaged arm. As soon as she moved, Mo Liujin woke up and asked hoarsely, "Why didn't you tell me about your injured arm? And you only asked Feiying to bandage it after you came back from the study?"

Chu Qingmeng's dazed mind raced for a moment, "You? You're still asleep? That's rare."

"Hehe..." Mo Liujin chuckled softly twice, his voice a little hoarse as if he was angry. "I just came back at the hour of Yin. Wen Zhong has been taking care of Qing'er Che'er these days, and you don't have to go to court today. Today's matters were dealt with last night. It's okay. I'll stay with you to sleep a little longer."

"Is your voice hoarse?" Chu Qingmeng turned over and faced him, frowning slightly as he looked at him.

"Hehe..." Mo Liujin propped up his head with one hand and smoothed her frown with the other, "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."

"Are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep a little longer? You haven't gotten enough sleep these days." Chu Qingmeng was a little worried.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Mo Liujin curled the corners of his lips and said, "No more sleep, you've had enough sleep. It's noon now, you should get up and eat something."

After washing up, the two of them went to the restaurant. Chu Qingmeng rarely had time to eat, so he usually ate in his room. He would only come to the restaurant to eat when the time was right. But today...

"Mother, try some of this year's new bamboo shoots." Mrs. Li picked up a piece with chopsticks and gave it to her.

Chu Qingmeng nodded and ate, but? Why were there always two people hanging around Li and Xu? They didn't look like maids in the mansion judging by their attire? Seeing Chu Qingmeng looking at them puzzled, Mo Liujin shook his head. These two kids... Raising his hand, he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks for Chu Qingmeng. "Okay, what are you looking at? Eat. You didn't eat breakfast, and you didn't eat lunch properly. Do you still want to be healthy?"

But Chu Qingmeng wasn't someone who would give up her doubts just because he interrupted her. She looked at Li and Xu and asked, "Are these two new maids? Or what?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment, their faces filled with questions. A concubine? Mother didn't know? Concubines were supposed to serve the mistress at meals, so they had been standing there setting the dishes. But then they understood. Mother was the only child in the family. Her maternal grandfather only had her grandmother, and her father only had her mother. Concubine Liu in the palace had entered the Buddhist temple, so she must have never seen a concubine serving the mistress. Li explained, "This is my husband's new concubine."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingmeng turned to look at Mo Jiangqing and Mo Jiangche in confusion. The two also looked at Chu Qingmeng in confusion. Finally, Mo Jiangche asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Chu Qingmeng suddenly laughed angrily and sneered, "Nothing, let's eat."

Although she said nothing was wrong, her face still looked a little ugly. Seeing her like this, Mo Liujin knew that she was angry. He shook his head helplessly and said hoarsely, "Don't meddle in the affairs of the younger generation. Your body can't stand being angry anymore."

Chu Qingmeng put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "I didn't mean to interfere. I just suddenly felt that they were a little idle recently. Feiying!"

"master."

"Tell Wen Zhong to give the two young masters two extra hours of training every day." Then she wiped her mouth, threw away the mouth cloth, stood up and left. Chunhe hurried to support her, as the girl's health was indeed not very good these days.

Mo Jiangqing and Mo Jiangche's eyes widened. No? What had they done? Why was Mother suddenly angry? Master is so strict! Two hours a day is already exhausting, and two more? Is Mother going to kill them? Not to mention official business!

"Oh." Mo Liujin sighed. What a temper! It was his son who took a concubine, not him. How could he coax her?

"Father?" Mo Jiangqing asked, "What happened between us? Mother seems very angry."

Mo Liujin sighed, "Nothing. Let's eat."

Several people were somewhat puzzled, but since their father didn't say anything, there was nothing they could do. Mo Liujin was eating in silence. He had just put down his chopsticks when Leng Feng walked in and said hesitantly, "Third Master, the princess..."

Before Leng Feng could finish, Mo Liujin hurriedly stood up and walked back. Really! She was angry that her son took a concubine! This... they were already two adults, could he still stop such a thing? Sigh. How could he comfort her?

At this time, Chu Qingmeng in the room looked at the things sent by Kui Wenzhong and cried so hard that she had forgotten that today was her birthday. Father and brother were the only ones who remembered her birthday. There was a bow, a big bag of arrows, and a letter: Xiaojiu, happy birthday.

Shuang Cheng advised, “Master, the old landlord sent you something to make you happy, not to make you cry.”

"I, I know, I know..." Chu Qingmeng wiped away her tears, "I just suddenly, suddenly, missed my father and brother. I was so disobedient, but he wasn't angry. He still remembered me."

"Master, you'd better stop crying in your current state." Kui Wenzhong also advised.

Chu Qingmeng wiped her tears and put away her things. Shuang Cheng hurriedly handed her a cup of tea. Chu Qingmeng drank a sip of tea and calmed down. She took the hot handkerchief handed to her by Shuang Cheng and just as she put it on her face, tears started to flow again. She wiped her tears again with the hot handkerchief, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
