Time Travel and Love

"..." Chu Qingmeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Master Wang, please speak frankly."

Wang Dalin thought for a moment and said, "I have already collected the five hundred taels of silver I owed Madam. Please accept it."

Looking at the silver note being handed to her, Chu Qingmeng raised an eyebrow but smiled and didn't take it. Muruisong instantly understood what she meant and spoke up for Wang Dalin, "The new number one scholar receives a reward from the court and the emperor."

Chu Qingmeng nodded and made an excuse, "No need. The child was indeed frightened that day. It was my son's fault. This is compensation, and we don't owe him anything."

"Madam, I have already promised to return it to the eldest master. Please accept it." Wang Dalin really wanted her to accept the money, at least not to go back on his word in front of her.

Aunt Guihua's daughters-in-law were all stunned. Five hundred taels of silver... They had never seen a silver note in their lives...

"Oh my! Old Five! I'm a rich man, how could I be short of a few hundred taels of silver? I'm afraid a piece of clothing would cost dozens of taels, so don't be so stubborn and insist on having it taken away from me! You're so rich, shouldn't you leave it to mother to take care of?"

"Besides, even if you give her money, she might not appreciate it! Ever since she entered the house, this lady has been so arrogant that she's so afraid of getting her clothes dirty that she doesn't even want to take off her cloak! And yet you insist on giving her money!"

Aunt Guihua's eldest daughter-in-law, Wu, was so stunned when she saw the money that she started to talk about it in a jealous and greedy tone, wishing she could put all the money into her own pocket.

"Sister-in-law! Be careful with your words!" Wang Dalin scolded.

"Shut up! Do you have to let me sew your mouth shut before you stop talking?" Aunt Guihua also gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words.

Chu Qingmeng laughed in anger. She didn't seem to have done anything, right? This person just kept teasing her. But it didn't matter. She wasn't incapable of getting angry.

Murisong frowned slightly. They both came from a poor family, so why had he never heard such harsh words from his sister-in-law?

"Since Lord Wang insists on returning it, I will keep it, lest this lady think that I am looking down on her by not accepting it." Chu Qingmeng directly took the five hundred taels of silver note from Wang Dalin's hand, raised his hand and asked Feiying to put it away, raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu, with an expression of 'what can you do to me'.

Wu was so angry that she had no choice but to glare at her.

Wang Dalin caught a glimpse of her little expression and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He didn't expect that she, who was always steady and dignified, had such a childish side.

Feiying's eyebrows moved slightly, "Master, it's getting late, it's time to go back home."

Shuang Cheng was already waiting by the side with his horse. Chu Qingmeng said goodbye to everyone and got on his horse to leave.

When she returned home, she was completely paralyzed. After eating, she went back to the warm room and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day at 9:00 a.m., there was no need to come again to announce the order and let her enter the palace.

"Eunuch Wuyong, go back and tell the emperor that I have caught a cold and am not fit to see him." Chu Qingmeng held Xiao Mingwei and teased him without raising his head.

"..." There was no need for his lips to twitch slightly. He could get away with it by just pretending a little, right? Why didn't he even pretend anymore? "Princess... please, please understand me... This is disobeying the order, you have to reply yourself..."

"Don't worry, eunuch. Just reply like this. If the emperor asks you in detail, just tell him what you saw. He won't vent his anger on you." Chu Qingmeng refused to go. She wasn't stupid. If she went, she would have to review memorials with him. No matter what she said today, she wouldn't go.

Wuyong: “…”

"Princess..." Wu Yong tried to struggle weakly.

"Two-way, see you off."

The one who was ‘driven’ out looked at the sign of the General’s Mansion: “…”

Two hours later, Chu Qingmeng looked at the memorial on the table, "..."

After thinking for a moment, she called Shuang Cheng and said, "Pack it up and send it to Father."

Half an hour later, Shuang Cheng brought the things back intact. "Master, the old landlord said that using your brain more is good for your health. I'll ask you to read ten more pages of the file every day."

"..." 999

This is six times over! She shouldn't have messed with her father again!

So during the days when Mo Liujin and his son were away from Beijing, Chu Qingmeng would start dealing with memorials and files as soon as he opened his eyes every day. He would not finish processing them until before going to bed. The next morning, he would start dealing with the memorials and files again.

Until they and their father returned to Beijing, she stayed in the warm room and could not even step out of the general's mansion.

When she learned that they had returned, the father and his two sons had already reached the gate of the warm room.

"Mother, your son is back." The two brothers followed Mo Liujin into the warm room and first reported to Chu Qingmeng that they were safe.

Chu Qingmeng, who was buried in the memorials, raised his head and walked out from behind the desk. He looked at the two of them from front to back and said, "I'm glad you're back. Go back and have some rest. You can talk to me again at lunch."

"Yes, mother, I will go back and change my clothes first." The two brothers bowed and left.

Everyone left, and Mo Liujin stepped forward and hugged Chu Qingmeng. "Madam, I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much. I wonder if you miss your husband?"

"Third brother~" Chu Qingmeng put her arms around his neck and hung on him, "I missed you~"
