Time Travel and Love

The imperial physician took Chu Qingmeng's pulse and adjusted the prescription. This medicine could be made into pills and carried around, but the ingredients were still expensive as always. Since Chu Qingmeng's injuries were just a minor issue, he only needed to take the medicine daily when it was cold, and only one pill when he felt uncomfortable would be enough. After sending the imperial physician away, Chu Qingmeng returned to his room to rest. Without Mo Liujin around that night, Chu Qingmeng slept uncomfortably.

When Mo Liuyuan returned to the yard, he always felt that his mother was going to do something, but he didn't know what her mother would do. After all, his mother had always been gentle and kind, and never fought or competed. She was originally a maidservant of the princess's dowry. In order to stop the gossips of outsiders, she was given to his father as a concubine. Later, after they were born, she was promoted to concubine. She was also diligent and respectful to the princess. He really couldn't imagine what she would do, but his intuition told him that his mother was going to do something big.

Sure enough, the next morning, Concubine Liu arrived at Chu Qingmeng's place. After Chu Qingmeng greeted her, she quickly had someone invite her into the main hall. Concubine Liu didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, "Miss Chu, I don't know if your parents taught you any sense of propriety, righteousness, and integrity. Now that you haven't even gotten married, you're constantly hanging around Jin'er. If this gets out, aren't you afraid that you'll lose face as a girl?!"

What?! Chu Qingmeng was startled by Aunt Liu's words for a moment, and the next second her expression turned cold. She said in a cold voice, "Aunt, I have said since the first day I came to the palace that I have no father or mother, so naturally no one taught me the rules. What? Are you here today to teach me what is propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame?"

"Since you have no father or mother, I can be considered your elder. Let me teach you what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are." Aunt Liu snorted coldly and placed the tea bowl heavily on the table. She was about to speak when she was interrupted by Chu Qingmeng.

"Elder? Ha." Chu Qingmeng sneered disdainfully, "I only knew that the princes and princesses in the palace called their masters "elders," but I didn't know that a concubine could also call herself an elder."

Upon hearing this, Chunhe and Xiazhi were shocked and opened their eyes wide. Firstly, they had never seen such a mean side of the girl before, and secondly, Concubine Liu was the biological mother of the Third Young Master! Is it really okay for a daughter-in-law who has not yet married to be so tough with her mother-in-law?

"You!!" Concubine Liu was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth and said, "I am Jin'er's biological mother. If I don't agree, don't even think about entering Jin'er's door! You are just a little bitch with unknown origins. I don't believe Jin'er can bear the crime of disobeying her mother for you! You have no family background, and you can't be dignified and generous. If you talk to me nicely, I will also agree to let you be my concubine. Since you talk to me like this, fine, fine, if I let you, a little bitch, enter my Jin'er's door, then it means I am incompetent! You are unruly and shameless! Not only did you seduce my Jin'er, but you also tempted the prince to do stupid things again and again! You caused discord between them, and you deserve to be sent to a brothel and become the one tasted by thousands and ridden by tens of thousands!"

"Auntie! The young lady is the prince's savior, you can't say that to her!" Xia Zhi was a straightforward person. Chu Qingmeng had always treated her very well, so now she felt very uncomfortable when she heard Auntie Liu scolding Chu Qingmeng like that, so she interrupted directly.

"How dare you! You little bitch, you dare to talk back to me?!" The furious Aunt Liu no longer cared about etiquette and raised her hand to hit Xia Zhi.

Chu Qingmeng hadn't recovered from the shock of Xia Zhi's rebuttal to Concubine Liu when she saw Concubine Liu about to slap Xia Zhi. Without a second thought, she grabbed Xia Zhi and placed herself in front of her. "Smack!" The resounding slap stunned everyone present. Chu Qingmeng felt the world spinning, and knew Concubine Liu was truly furious. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'll take this slap, Auntie. I apologize for offending you earlier. Since you say I'm unworthy of staying with Mo Liujin, I'll naturally leave after the prince's wedding. Please rest assured. May I leave now?"

"Hmph!" Concubine Liu snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves. Chu Qingmeng could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. Chunhe and Xiazhi hurriedly helped Chu Qingmeng up and walked towards the bedroom. Chu Qingmeng felt a buzzing in his ears and could not see anything clearly. He was completely at a loss and let the two of them help him back to his room. After walking a few steps, Chu Qingmeng stopped and sat down in the corridor, feeling a little weak. "Chunhe, tell the secret guards in the palace that no one is allowed to go to the palace and say anything! Otherwise, I will not forgive them!"

"Young lady?" Chunhe was surprised. She thought that even if the young lady didn't go to complain herself, she should let the servants explain it clearly. Isn't the young lady angry at all when Aunt Liu scolded her like that?

Chu Qingmeng waved her hand weakly, signaling her to leave it at that. She also told Xia Zhi to go away and not let anyone disturb her. She wanted to be alone. She sat there blankly for two hours, until the night deepened and the air began to cool. Chu Qingmeng stood up, coughing, and walked towards the bedroom. But the coughing became more and more severe, and gradually a feeling of suffocation came over her. As she was about to reach the bedroom, Chu Qingmeng fainted.
