Chapter 418 The Unforgettable Young General

"When we first came to Beijing, not only were we returning with our entire family, but we had just defeated the Rouran army and were returning victorious. Therefore, the three of us, father and son, were dressed in military uniforms when we entered the city," Mo Jiangqing explained. "Then Miss Dong threw her purse directly into Jiang Che's arms from the upstairs of the inn."

Chu Qingmeng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I get it. The spirited young general, riding a horse and wearing unicorn armor, is unforgettable."

"..." Mo Jiangche pinched his brows and called out helplessly, "Mother!"

Chu Qingmeng teased, "You don't understand. The young general is truly attractive. When I sent your father off to war, I saw him in his military uniform and I regretted not agreeing to marry him sooner."

Mo Liujin looked at Chu Qingmeng and raised his eyebrows. So this happened back then?

"In short, forget about taking him as a co-wife. Everyone knows what he's up to. Besides Prime Minister Lin, who else could be higher in rank than Grand Tutor Dong? And his granddaughter is a master at using her power to bully others. If she gets married, won't she bully Qihua to death? Don't even think about it." Chu Qingmeng said, "If he brings it up again, tell him I won't agree. Tell him to come to me and talk. I want to see if he, as a man, has the nerve to ask me."

Mo Jiangche's expression finally improved. Yes, his mother was still here. "Mother, you have to help your son. You've also met Miss Dong. If she gets married, our family will have no peace."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Mo Liujin asked, but his face darkened after hearing Jiang Che's complete account. Such uneducated cursing. Qing Meng had never said a harsh word to him before, and she actually opened her mouth and called him a 'little bitch'?!

As they were talking, no one noticed that a little maidservant in the mansion secretly left and went straight to Xu's mansion.

After returning to the main house, Shuang Cheng took today's files, a letter, the jade pendant carved from the jade stone, and a string of jade bead bracelets and placed them on the desk. "Master, are you going to the hunting trip at the Imperial Horse Farm tomorrow?"

Chu Qingmeng took out the jade pendant and bracelet and looked at them, then asked Shuang Cheng to put them away. "Go ahead. It's boring to be in the mansion. What's wrong?"

"According to the spies, seventeen people have done something to the horses and prey in the imperial stables. If you go there, you'd better be careful." Shuang Cheng reminded.

"Okay, I understand," Chu Qingmeng replied as he finished reading the letter and flipped through the files. "I don't know how to ride a horse at the Imperial Stables either. I'll take Zhuifeng with me tomorrow. Please help me find a suitable horse for Lingxue."

"Yes." Shuang Cheng responded and went down to prepare the horses.

"Master, the eldest prince and the young master are here." Feiying came in and told Chu Qingmeng.

"..." What a classic NPC. Is this her regular check-in spot? Does she come here every day? Looking at the dozens of pages of files in his hand, Chu Qingmeng sighed and put them back on the desk. "Let's go to the main hall."

"Mother."

"Mother."

Seeing Chu Qingmeng coming over, the two of them stood up and saluted.

"Please sit down," Chu Qingmeng waved his hand to signal them to stand up, "I just need your help with something."

"If you have something to say, just tell me. What's there to discuss between you and your son about whether to help or not?" Mo Jiangheng smiled gently, quite like the elegant young man Mo Liufang was back then.

"That's true." Mo Jiangli also agreed.

"This matter requires your confidants to do it, are you willing to do it?"

Mo Jiangli gave a helpless smile. He treated her as a mother, but it was clear that she did not treat him as a son. "In a mother's heart, her son is still an outsider, right? If it were Jiang Qing or Jiang Che, would their mother still ask this question?"

Chu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment. "Perhaps. I've only been with Jiang Qing and Jiang Che for half a year longer than you two. I'm just considering you two are adults now, so I should consult with you rather than give you orders."

Such frank words caught the two off guard. Mo Jiangqing and Mo Jiangche, who were about to step into the door, were also stunned on the spot.

After a long while, Mo Jiangqing finally found his voice. He stepped into the room and looked at Chu Qingmeng helplessly. "Mother, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as you say it, I will do it. You don't need to worry about what we think."

Chu Qingmeng glanced at Mo Jiangqing, who was leaning over to talk to him, and changed the subject, "Sit down, didn't you two go on patrol today?"

"Mother, we finished our patrol yesterday. Today is your day off, so Father asked us two to accompany you." Mo Jiangche obviously knew Chu Qingmeng better. "What did you want to talk to your two brothers about?"

"..." Has Mo Liujin become more calculating recently? As soon as she thought about leaving the house, these two guys would arrive immediately.

"Chunhe." Chu Qingmeng tilted her head slightly. Chunhe immediately understood what she meant and dismissed the servants in the room. Chu Qingmeng then spoke, "I need someone to go to the water prison and kidnap your fifteenth uncle."

"Didn't Uncle Fifteen go missing?" Mo Jiangli looked at Chu Qingmeng, "Does Mother know Uncle Fifteen's whereabouts?!"

"..." Chu Qingmeng glanced at him with a complicated expression, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Jiang Li, Jiang Li, is it that the old man's confidentiality work is too strict, or is it that you are not good enough at observing people's words and expressions?"

Mo Jiangli was a little confused, "Mother? Who is the old man?"

Chu Qingmeng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Your father."
