Time Travel and Love

"Chunhe! Xiazhi!" Mo Liujin sat in the main hall and looked coldly at the two people kneeling below. "Tell me! What did the aunt say to your daughter that day?!"

This... The two of them looked at each other, both looking very embarrassed. But Mo Liujin couldn't wait any longer and roared, "Speak!"

Chun He kowtowed heavily and said in a trembling voice, "Third Master, it's not that I don't want to say it, but..." Chun He gritted her teeth and said directly, "It's that some of the words are really unbearable to hear, and I can't say them out loud!"

Mo Liujin's face turned pale, but he still said coldly, "Speak!"

Xia Zhi kowtowed and cried, "Let me tell you! I don't want this life anymore! The young lady has been wronged so much!"

Xia Zhi recounted their conversation that day, word for word. Mo Liujin had anticipated Chu Qingmeng's retort; that was just her nature. When she got upset, she'd fight back, no matter who it was. He'd never known his mother would constantly call Qingmeng a "little bitch." When he heard the words, "She deserves to be sold to a brothel, to be fucked by thousands," Mo Liujin couldn't hold it in any longer, his face turning pale. No wonder, no wonder, it turned out that day Qingmeng had repeatedly said she was tired and refused to see anyone, not even him. So that's how it was, so that's how it was...

Mo Liujin returned to the palace like a walking corpse and locked himself in the room. He thought that his mother had given up on him because she had beaten him so much before and he refused to give in. He never thought that his mother was actually waiting to get angry with Qingmeng.

Three days later, Chu Qingmeng was sitting by the river fishing. The weather was getting warmer day by day. Chu Qingmeng's cough, which had been wearing a face mask, had improved a lot. Feiying was making a fire behind her, waiting for her fish.

"Girl, I have burned two bundles of firewood. Can you still catch the fish?" Feiying teased Chu Qingmeng while adding firewood.

"Oh, it's almost there! Don't rush me! You've scared the fish away!" Chu Qingmeng is a typical example of someone who can't poop and has to blame the toilet.

Feiying was speechless. He could already tell from the girl's itinerary over the past few days that she was heading to the border, but her purpose wasn't strong. She was just playing as she went. With the pills and the warmer weather, she seemed to be feeling better.

Chu Qingmeng, who was still enjoying herself, had no idea that Mo Liujin had locked himself away, refusing food or drink to work day and night on official business. No matter how much Aunt Liu knocked, he refused to open the door. Three days later, Mo Liujin opened the door to his study. Mo Liuyuan, who was waiting at the door, gasped and stared at him with wide eyes. In just three days, Mo Liujin's temples had already sprouted a few strands of white hair, his eyes were dull, and he looked haggard, as if he had aged ten years.

"Come here! Prepare the car! Go back to Zhu County!" Mo Liujin ordered the servant in a cold voice, and prepared to go to Mo Chenfeng to say goodbye.

Mo Liuyuan caught up with him in a few steps and asked, "Are you not looking for our sister anymore?"

Mo Liujin paused, his expression gloomy as he whispered, "She won't come back. She doesn't want me anymore."

Mo Liuyuan was choked by his words. He also knew what his mother had done. When he repeatedly questioned Chu Qingmeng about it, she denied it, so he thought it was just his imagination. He never thought it would become so embarrassing.

In the main hall, Mo Chenfeng, who knew about this, was furious. He looked at Concubine Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I approved their relationship! You're so brave! I didn't realize it was your turn to decide the marriage of this young master in this mansion?"

Aunt Liu widened her eyes in disbelief. Although she was a concubine brought up by the princess, the prince had never been so harsh to her. She had been diligent and respectful for so many years and had given birth to three sons for the prince's palace. She had thought that she would have a place in the prince's heart, but she never expected that in the end, she would still be a slave.

"Father. Mother. Aunt." Mo Liujin's calm voice sounded, "Your son is here to say goodbye."

The three of them were shocked when they saw Mo Liujin's appearance. Aunt Liu's eyes were filled with tears and she looked at her son in surprise. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't say a word.

"Brother Jin?!" The princess stood up in shock, stroking the few strands of white hair on Mo Liujin's temples with trembling hands, "W-why, why is this happening?"

"Mother, I'm fine." Mo Liujin bowed and said, "Father, mother, and aunt, I'm here to say goodbye. I have official business to attend to and cannot stay long. I will be leaving for Zhu County today."

Mo Chenfeng sighed and waved his hand, signaling him to leave. Seeing Mo Liujin like this, he felt distressed and knew that he didn't want to stay in the mansion anymore, so he left. Mo Chenfeng looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Now, do you feel better? Or do you think that if you find a good marriage for Jin'er, he will listen to you? Why can't you understand that I, a dignified prince, can't help my own son?"

After saying that, he didn't want to bother with Concubine Liu anymore and didn't want to punish her anymore. He left the main hall, leaving Concubine Liu alone in shock. When the maid came in to support Concubine Liu, she burst into tears, "My son!!!"

Completely despairing, Aunt Liu gave up and from that day on, she stayed beside the ancient Buddha Qingdeng and never left the temple again.
