Time Travel and Love

Chapter 23: Never Let Go

After chatting with the princess, Chu Qingmeng was ready to go back to his house to rest. When he passed by the front yard, he saw many more guards in front of Mo Liufang's yard. Chu Qingmeng was exhausted after several days of running around. Now he just wanted to go back and rest, so he didn't ask what happened. But Mo Liujin understood what these people meant. A trace of alert flashed in his eyes. He didn't stop and sent Chu Qingmeng back to the house.

After returning home, Chu Qingmeng fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. Chun and Xiazhi took turns guarding her in the room, but no one noticed that there were more guards in the dark than before.

Mo Liujin, who had returned to the palace, knelt with Mo Liuyuan in Concubine Liu's room, silently allowing her to scold him. Only when Concubine Liu's anger subsided did she stop and drink a sip of water to moisten her throat. She sighed again and said slowly, "Jin'er, you and Yuan'er have been smart since childhood. I know I can't make the decision for you, but I just want you to have a good future! You were born into my womb and became my bastards. If you don't have a good marriage to help you with your future, how can you go further in the future?"

"Mom!" Mo Liujin knocked his head heavily to the ground. "I know you want me to be successful, but I just want to fight for my own future! So I only want to marry the person I love."

"Yes, mother, my third brother is just..."

"Shut up!" Aunt Liu glared at Mo Liuyuan fiercely, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet! You dared to lie to me for him, repeatedly pretending to be in the house, and now you dare to defend him? Get down on your knees!"

Mo Liuyuan could only shut up in frustration and kneel down to the side like a quail. He sighed inwardly and thought to himself, "Third brother, you're on your own! Whether you can marry Qing Meng depends on your luck."

"Jin'er, mother knows you're strong-willed, but do you know how difficult life is? You could have easily gotten through it." Aunt Liu began to cry, "It's all mother's fault for letting you fall into my womb. You have to fight for your own way in everything..."

"Mother, we are men and we can earn our own way forward. No matter how difficult it is, my son will definitely make a name for himself!" After saying that, Mo Liujin kowtowed to Aunt Liu again and refused to agree on his marriage no matter what.

"You!" Seeing him trembling with indifference, Concubine Liu called a maid to bring a cane and started beating Mo Liujin with it. Mo Liujin took the beating silently without making a sound, and she didn't dare to use her internal energy to resist, fearing that the cane would rebound and hurt her. Mo Liuyuan hurriedly tried to dissuade her but was also hit with a few canes. After Mo Liujin was beaten until he bled, he still refused to let go. Concubine Liu was furious and heartbroken. She threw away the cane and hugged Mo Liujin, crying...

Time flew by and it was already three days later. Mo Liufang's engagement banquet was held as scheduled. Some related and unrelated episodes could not change the outcome. People from the Lin Mansion arrived as scheduled, with separate tables for men and women. People from the Wang Mansion came to invite Chu Qingmeng over, but Chu Qingmeng did not attend on the pretext of feeling unwell, because she felt that she could not handle such an occasion and it would be better for her to stay quietly in her own mansion!

Mo Liufang, who was released because of the arrival of the people from the Lin Mansion, still tried his best to find Chu Qingmeng again, but Mo Liujue, Mo Liuchen and others were ordered to watch him, making it impossible for him to escape. Finally, he had no choice but to pretend to go to the toilet so that the two brothers would not follow him. He climbed over the wall and entered the Chu Mansion.

At the time, Chu Qingmeng was studying a gun in the pavilion. She was trying to deduce the components of the barrel from her own pistol, hoping to draw the parts of a shotgun. So, when she saw Mo Liufang, breathless, appear before her, she froze. It had been two or three months since his abrupt confession, and this was her first time seeing him. The secret guards in the dark, upon seeing Mo Liufang appear, headed straight for the palace.

"What's wrong with the prince?" Chu Qingmeng addressed Mo Liufang in a deliberately distant tone. "Why are you so out of breath? Isn't today the prince's engagement party? How did you find time to come to my place?"

"Qing Meng, don't ask me when you already know the answer. I have no interest in Miss Lin, you know that! I only love you! I don't care about whether there is help or not, I just want to be with you!" Mo Liufang was a little anxious, so he said it bluntly without caring whether there were servants around.

Chu Qingmeng's face darkened instantly, and he was furious. What was wrong with him? He was a good person before, but why didn't he understand what he was saying recently? After letting Chunhe take the servants away, he took a deep breath and said seriously, "My Lord, love is a matter of mutual consent. Just because you like me doesn't mean I have to like you and marry you! What we talked about last time were just some of the most basic issues. I also told you that the most important thing between us is that I don't like you at all. Do you understand this?"

Mo Liufang stammered, refusing to listen to Chu Qingmeng's words, "It's because of Liu Jin, right? You don't like me because he's around, right?"

Chu Qingmeng's eyelids jumped. What did he want to do?
