Time Travel and Love

"Mother hasn't told me why I took my grandmother's surname." This is what Mo Jiangche is most curious about.

Chu Qingmeng thought for a moment and looked at Mo Jiangche, "I can't tell you this." Then he suddenly remembered the words he had used to scare Mo Liujin in Border Town. He suddenly laughed, his face full of evil intentions, "In fact, you two almost took my last name, Chu. You can ask your father about this."

Mo Liujin's face darkened instantly, "Chu Qingmeng!"

These words scared the two brothers so much that they put down their chopsticks, stopped smiling, and looked at Mo Liujin together.

I can't scold her, I can't scold her. She can't be angry now. Just go along with her, just go along with her, Mo Liujin persuaded herself silently, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Back then, when the border city was in chaos and the city was almost lost, I planned to take advantage of the chaos to send your mother out, at least to prevent her from losing her life. But she threatened me that if I dared to send her out of the city, she would change your surname to Chu."

"It's really like my mother's style..." Mo Jiangqing twitched his lips. This matter can be used to threaten my father. My mother is really capable.

"..." Mo Jiangche looked at the indifferent Chu Qingmeng with a complicated expression.

Li and Xu looked at each other and silently covered their smiles with handkerchiefs. The mother-in-law knew the father-in-law's pain points best.

After dinner, Chu Qingmeng stood up and asked Li to send someone to bring little Mingwei over to play for a while. Li was about to agree when she saw Mo Liujin's expression change. Mo Jiangqing gave her a look and shook his head slightly. Li quickly took back what she was about to say, "Mother, Mingwei is fussing over sleep at this hour. It's getting cold at night, so it's not a good idea to let her sleep in your room."

Mo Liujin put down the handkerchief he had been using to wipe his mouth, stood up, helped Chu Qingmeng back to the house, and said, "We've been talking for so long, aren't you tired? Do you still have the energy to hold a child? If you're not tired, grind the ink for me. I still have some official documents to deal with..."

Hearing the sound of them walking away, the brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Jiangqing reminded them, "There's something wrong with Mom's health, but she doesn't know it. Dad didn't dare tell her directly and only lied to her that he was tired because he's been busy lately. Please keep an eye on the children these days. Don't offend Mom. She can't handle the slightest bump or injury."

"If Yu'er had jumped on Mother like he did just now, she might have been hurt, so Father intervened. Mother thinks she's fine, but we have to be careful! The children are not allowed to go to the main house for the time being." Mo Jiangche also warned, "Keep a close eye on her! If anything happens to Mother, Father will be furious."

Only then did Li and Xu understand why Mo Liujin was so nervous just now, and they both agreed.

When the two of them returned to their room, Chu Qingmeng realized that Mo Liujin had really had the desk moved into the inner room. He twitched his lips speechlessly and lay down on the couch, watching him handle his official business. "Ajin, give me a book. I'm so bored."

He casually picked up the military strategy on his desk and handed it to her, "Chujiu, you can take another look at this book and tell me if there are any details that are not detailed."

Hearing him call himself 'Chujiu', Chu Qingmeng raised his eyebrows and looked up at him. Mo Liujin continued, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Have you ever asked?"

Mo Liujin was so angry that he laughed. Why did he ask?! Knowing that her name was Chu Qingmeng, did he still have to ask why her last name was Chu? Anyway, if someone asked why his last name was Mo, he would definitely slap that person away! "Madam, why is your last name Chu?"

Chu Qingmeng looked at him for a moment before saying, "My motherland's national policy is that a couple can only have one child, regardless of gender. So, Old Chen's mother disliked me because I was a girl and wanted to give me away at first. Later, my mother reported me to the authorities, and I was sent back. When she saw that she couldn't send me away, she became murderous and tried to kill me several times. You know the scar on my chest? It was the old witch who stabbed the needle into my heart. Fortunately, my nanny, or what you call a wet nurse, found it, snatched me back from her, and sent me to the hospital. My chest was opened and the needle was removed from my heart. For three months, I was on the verge of death every day. My mother collapsed and directly called Old Chen back, who was still working out of town, to divorce him. Old Chen was stunned and was divorced as soon as he walked in the door. How could he agree to be divorced? Especially since he grew up with my mother as a childhood sweetheart. Later, after learning about the evil things that the old witch had done, he divorced my mother out of shame and wanting to protect her and me. My mother had a strong and stubborn personality, and Lao Chen was afraid that my mother would put the old witch in jail. My mother inherited all the family property left by my grandparents. Her power was actually comparable to that of the Lao Chen family. After divorcing and taking me away, my mother threw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver into the government office, vowing to put the old witch in jail for life. At the same time, she sold my grandparents' family property and took me to settle abroad. Later, my grandfather rushed back from abroad and saw this dilapidated house. He didn't say anything, but spent a greater price to rescue the old witch from the government office. After that, most of the family property was written into Lao Chen's name, and he was sent abroad to the country where my mother settled... In fact, when Lao Chen and my mother died, they had not remarried. "

Mo Liujin was still digesting these things, but his hand unconsciously covered Chu Qingmeng's chest. He knew where her scar was. "They actually reconciled after being abroad for half a year, but my mother refused to remarry. That's why I took the surname Chu. Old Chen didn't want to and didn't dare to say anything."
