Time Travel and Love

Quan Si and Shuang Cheng rushed into the house from the outer hall. Quan Si felt his pulse and felt relieved. "Nothing's wrong. Only the wound on my hand needs to be healed for a few more days. Luckily the poison wasn't too serious, and I've always had a weak stomach, so it triggered me to vomit. Otherwise, no one would have noticed and I would have fallen asleep."

"..."

Actually, last night was the best sleep she had had in a while. She had such a bad headache last night that she wanted Shuang Cheng to knock her out, but before she could say anything, she really fainted. But she didn't dare to say it, for she was afraid that Quan Si would directly drug her and make her sleep for a few more days. She squeezed her youngest son's hand and whispered, "You didn't sleep all night? Go get some sleep. Your father-in-law will be here tonight. Qing'er? Are you there?"

"Mother, your son is here." Mo Jiangqing also reached out and covered Chu Qingmeng's hand.

"Okay, both of you go and rest. I'm fine, go and rest for a while." Although Chu Qingmeng opened his eyes and seemed to be looking at them, his ice-blue pupils could not focus on looking at them.

The two of them insisted on not leaving, and now they were in a complicated mood. Mo Jiangche helped Chu Qingmeng put the pillow so that she could lean on the bed more comfortably.

After hesitating for a while, Mo Jiangqing spoke, "Mother, I don't want that concubine's child anymore."

Chu Qingmeng looked up at him, thought for a moment, understood his idea, and just smiled, extending his hand to signal him to come over. Mo Jiangqing also knelt beside the bed. He touched the two's faces and spoke, "What happened last night was an accident. Your great-aunt just loves her son too much. It really has nothing to do with you. You don't have to think too much about it. Mother doesn't want you to have illegitimate children, but sometimes the relationship is difficult to balance, and it will be very tiring to spend too much time and energy in the harem. As long as you balance the relationship between wife and concubine, legitimate and illegitimate children, you will be fine. Besides, women not only have to go through the gates of hell when giving birth, but also when having miscarriages. Mother also lost a child, the pain was heartbreaking and unforgettable. There is no woman who doesn't feel sorry for the flesh that fell from her body. So, don't make trouble anymore. After all, the young child is innocent."

The two were shocked. Their mother had a miscarriage? Then they looked at their father. Mo Liujin's face was filled with grief. He always felt that he had let Qingmeng down, let the child down. Although he wasn't hurt, the child in Qingmeng's belly was his own flesh and blood. How could he not feel pain?! And it was his first child! He had secretly taken a peek, and it was a fully formed boy...

Seeing Mo Liujin's expression, the two understood what was going on and lowered their heads. Their mother... was so humiliated, but she was unwilling to say a bad word about their great aunt in front of them.

"Okay, don't think too much." Chu Qingmeng touched their heads and said with a smile, "Go and rest quickly. You haven't slept all night. Your father-in-law and uncle are coming tonight. How are you going to accompany them? Go and rest. Don't stay up any longer."

After sending the two brothers away, Quan Si and Cheng both took their leave, leaving only the couple in the room. Chu Qingmeng closed her eyes and dropped her smile. She felt very tired. She was not even as old as them, yet she had to speak to them with such airs every day.

Mo Liujin sat down on the bed and moved closer, half hugging her, his head still resting on Chu Qingmeng's neck. He said in a low voice, "Qingmeng, don't be angry. I know you are unhappy, but please don't leave me. Give me a chance to comfort you, okay?"

He understood Chu Qingmeng. Whenever she was unhappy, she would want to escape, just like when Aunt Liu forced her away with just a few words. Now she kept calling her a "monster". He felt uneasy, and the feeling that Chu Qingmeng would abandon him became stronger and stronger.

Chu Qingmeng was silent for a moment. She didn't want to talk, she was tired. But then she suddenly laughed out loud. She lifted Mo Liujin's head with both hands, so that he was facing her. Mo Liujin reached out and gently covered her hand, which was still injured.

"Ajin." Although Chu Qingmeng was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes, and his tone was cold. "If I really was a demon, what would you do?"

"I'm also a demon, am I not?" Mo Liujin looked directly into her eyes. Even though she couldn't see, he still wanted her to know that he wasn't lying. "I'm the snake demon who led you down to the mortal world. Even if I can't turn back into a demon, I will definitely find a way to accompany you. If not in this life, then I will find a way to accompany you in all my lives."

Chu Qingmeng chuckled. A vow? She liked to hear it, but she didn't believe it. For the first time, her uninjured hand clamped Mo Liujin's chin, forcing him to look at her. Mo Liujin, however, curled his lips slightly. Well, she wasn't angry anymore. Chu Qingmeng forcibly activated the derivative pill, and fox ears sprouted from her head. She said coldly, "I really am a demon. Are you scared?"

Mo Liujin smiled, a very happy smile, his eyes gleaming with love. He raised his hand and kept stroking the pair of fluffy white ears. He broke free from her grip and whispered in her ear, unable to suppress the joy in his voice, "Don't be afraid, I like it very much."

But the consequence of forcibly activating the derivative pill with a mortal body was that this guy spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately lost his strength, and fell on Mo Liujin's shoulder, gasping for breath.

"Qing Meng?!" Mo Liujin was startled and helped her lean on the cushions. "I'll go get someone to find Quan Si."
