Time Travel and Love

Hearing this, Chu Qingmeng felt like the sky was falling. Morning and evening visitations?! It was only the beginning of the morning and evening hours! If this was the custom, wouldn't I have to get up at this time every day? Chu Qingmeng felt like they had been sleeping together forever, inseparable. She lamented, "Chunhe, I really can't get up! This morning and evening visitation is killing me! Do you know that getting up early in the winter is killing me?! Even those few days in the mountains, no one dared to wake me up at the beginning of the morning hours!"

Chunhe chuckled softly and came over to pull Chu Qingmeng out of bed. The five grandfathers and grandchildren practicing martial arts outside heard her lament clearly. The two younger ones were still naive, and Xun Ge'er said, "That's the voice of the Fairy Sister! Is she here with Grandpa?"

Mo Liujin blushed uncomfortably, not because of anything else, but because the child's words "Fairy Sister" suddenly made him feel that he was not worthy of Chu Qingmeng. Mo Jiangqing scolded, "Ze Xun! Don't talk nonsense! You should call me Grandma!"

Another little one asked, "Brother Xun, what fairy sister? How come I don't know?"

"She's a very, very beautiful fairy sister, just like what's described in the books. If she's not a fairy sister, then what is she?" Mo Zexun whispered to Mo Zechuan, "You'll know if I'm right when you see her someday!"

"Alright! You two shut up!" Mo Jiangche said coldly, stopping the two from muttering. Mo Liujin felt a little ashamed after hearing this. It was over, it was over. After being told that by the two kids, he felt even more unworthy of Qingmeng.

Chu Qingmeng, who had just finished cleaning up when Chunhe pulled her out, was stunned when she saw the grandfather and grandson outside. This scene looked so familiar. She remembered that when she first came here, she would always see Mo Liujue, Mo Liuteng, and Mo Liuchen practicing martial arts together. Her daily fun was watching the three of them practice martial arts, bickering with Mo Liuyuan, playing with Mo Liujin, going shopping and watching plays with Wushuang, and seeing Mo Liufang learning from his uncle every day. But the handsome young man under the window in the past was now a grandfather. She sighed inwardly, and the two brothers outside were also shocked. After all, they had always seen Chu Qingmeng without makeup, but today, after Chunhe cleaned her up, she really looked like a fairy descended to earth as the children said.

Before she could remain in a daze for long, Chun He smiled and pushed Chu Qingmeng away, complaining as he walked, "Girl, you've had enough! Do you think your son is also obsessed with love? I remember that you used to love watching the Fourth Master, the Fifth Master, and the Sixth Master practice martial arts every day. How could you get up at that time?!"

"Chun He! Did I get up voluntarily? When were you not dragging me up to pay my respects to the princess? I just stopped by to see the three of them on the way back, okay? Don't make it sound like I made a special trip to see them, okay?" Chu Qingmeng retorted to Chun He, and the two of them walked away.

Mo Liujin's face darkened instantly. Great, there was something he didn't know! The two brothers couldn't help but laugh at Mo Liujin's expression. Mo Jiangqing sighed inwardly, thinking that his wife had indeed predicted his father's anger. Seeing his two sons trying to suppress their laughter, Mo Liujin snorted coldly, "Practice for another hour!" Mo Jiangqing lamented inwardly that his father was taking revenge!

Arriving at the main hall, Chu Qingmeng found the room warm with charcoal braziers scattered throughout. She removed her handkerchief, and Chunhe helped her sit in the main seat. The two sisters-in-law greeted Chu Qingmeng, calling her "mother-in-law" constantly, making her feel uncomfortable. Finally, she could only interrupt, saying, "If you like, just call me mother. Otherwise, you can call me by my name. I simply cannot accept the term 'mother-in-law'."

Xu chuckled and nodded in agreement, while Li smiled faintly, "Yes, Mother. But you absolutely cannot address me by my name. You are the elder after all, and you cannot violate ethical principles."

Chu Qingmeng nodded in agreement. To be honest, she couldn't accept two people who were five or six years older than her calling her mother, but it was better than "mother-in-law". These two words made her feel like she was in her fifties or sixties in an instant.

While Chu Qingmeng was lost in thought, Li had someone fetch a small box. After opening it, she handed it to Chu Qingmeng and said, "Mother, this is the key to the housekeeper's house. When you were away, I was in charge temporarily. Now that you're back, I'll hand over the housekeepership to you."

Chu Qingmeng felt his head ache even more! A housekeeper? Her? How could she possibly know how to handle something she'd never learned before? He took a sip of hot tea to mask his awkwardness, then said calmly, "Since you've been in charge for so many years, then you should continue to manage it. I can enjoy some free time, too."

"How can this be possible? Mother is the elder, so naturally she has the final say." Li said humbly.

Chu Qingmeng looked at Li awkwardly. Seeing that she had no intention of mocking him, he finally said, "You really want me to tell you the truth, don't you think I can do it?"

Li was stunned, and Xu was also stunned for a moment. No way?! This was something neither of them had expected. Li stammered, "Well, in the past..."

"In the past, everyone from the housekeeper to the servants were from the palace. Because I was not good at housekeeping and was afraid that the servants would bully their master, the Princess An Ning's mansion was also managed by the princess." Chu Qingmeng answered calmly.
