Chapter 42 Calling the Wind and Rain

As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, a cool breeze blew, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by thunder and heavy rain. However, no one noticed the faint flash of light at Chu Qingmeng's feet. Seeing the heavy rain pouring down, the county magistrate and the people in the city all knelt down, exclaiming that a god had descended. Feiying also looked at Chu Qingmeng with horror. After Chu Qingmeng's own surprise, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and cursed in his heart, "God damn it! Are you serious?!"

"County Magistrate, go and do as I say. Remember to distribute the seeds to every village. The grain I brought with me includes some that can be planted directly. I'll let Feiying tell you when we get back to the county office." Chu Qingmeng felt like her waist was about to break, and she just wanted to go back and rest. Feiying saw that Chu Qingmeng's face had almost turned pale, so he quickly hugged her and flew towards the county office.

It wasn't long before they were inside the county government office. Chu Qingmeng was already shivering from the cold. He forced himself to dry himself and change his clothes. Feiying then gave him a bowl of ginger soup before he lay down on the recliner beside the bed to rest. He glanced at Mo Liujin, who looked better, but hadn't woken up yet. If he didn't wake up tomorrow, he'd be sent to the fumigation center. With this thought in mind, he drifted off to sleep.

Not long after she fell asleep, Mo Liujin woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Qingmeng sleeping on the recliner. Mo Liujin thought he was in a dream and reached out to touch her face. The touch felt so real. Chu Qingmeng felt as if someone was touching her face. She thought something had happened again. She opened her eyes tiredly and saw Mo Liujin. Chu Qingmeng sat up suddenly and said in surprise, "You're awake?! How are you? Are you thirsty? You..."

Before she could finish her words, Chu Qingmeng realized that something was wrong with her body. Her waist hurt! It hurt! Chu Qingmeng frowned and gasped as she fell back onto the recliner. She closed her eyes tightly, her hands tightly grasping the handles on both sides of the recliner, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain, "It hurts!"

Just as Mo Liujin realized this wasn't a dream, Chu Qingmeng felt a sharp, exploding pain in her lower body. Suddenly, something flowed out of her body. Mo Liujin also rolled over and got out of bed, lifting the blanket covering her. Only then did he realize her body was soaked in blood. He panicked and hurriedly called for the imperial physician. He then carried her to bed, but the sight of so much blood made his mind go blank. He simply held Chu Qingmeng's hand until the imperial physician wordlessly prescribed a prescription and had someone boil some medicine for Chu Qingmeng to drink. Only then did he give Mo Liujin a meaningful look, motioning him to the corner.

After no one was around, the imperial physician said softly, "Well, Miss Chu, she had a miscarriage. The fetus is already four months old."

Mo Liujin's eyes widened as he turned to look at the unconscious Chu Qingmeng. She, when? He hadn't even noticed! He couldn't help but choke out a sob, "Old Imperial Physician, please keep this a secret. She and I will be married soon, and I can't let anything bad happen to her spread at this moment."

"I know." The old imperial physician nodded and continued, "I heard that it was Miss Chu who cast a spell to make it rain today. Why not tell everyone that she collapsed from exhaustion? This will also silence everyone's rumors. After all, it has been Miss Chu who has been in charge of the overall situation for more than half a month, which is why the county has not been in chaos. It is also because of her long days of hard work, sleeping only one or two hours a day, that her body has been broken down."

After sending the imperial physician away, Mo Liujin sat silently beside the bed. He had already learned everything from Feiying: her whereabouts over the past few months, how she had immediately packed her belongings and come here after learning about Zhuxian's situation, the hardships she had endured along the way, how she had diligently taken care of herself while presiding over the city's affairs after arriving, and even how she had cast a spell to make it rain. Mo Liujin couldn't help but chuckle at the thought, "What else do you think I don't know?"

(If Chu Qingmeng heard what he said at this moment, he would definitely say: Don’t say you don’t know, I didn’t even know I had this ability!)

Chu Qingmeng had been unconscious for three days before he regained some strength. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw Mo Liujin standing by his bed. "Ah Jin~"

A soft and sticky voice sounded, and Mo Liujin quickly came back to his senses and looked at her. Chu Qingmeng's nose felt sore and she burst into tears, "I missed you."

Mo Liujin pulled her into his arms, all his emotions shattered by her words, "I miss you." He hugged her tightly with trembling hands, "Please don't leave me, okay?"

"Hmm~" This time, Chu Qingmeng agreed straightforwardly. She leaned in his arms and choked with sobs as she recounted her grievances. "It's been thirteen days. You've been in a coma since I arrived. Why did you sleep for so long? I was really afraid that you would die in front of me."

Chu Qingmeng was like a child who had been wronged and had been pretending to be strong. Now she cried bitterly when she saw her parents. Mo Liujin held her in his arms, his heart aching. Thinking of the child he hadn't been able to save, his heart ached even more, and tears silently fell.
