Chapter 479 Aunt Liu is Sick

The servants set lunch in the outer hall, but Mo Liujin, for some unknown reason, insisted on carrying her out. After dismissing the servants waiting outside, Mo Liujin insisted on feeding her.

Chu Qingmeng looked at him like he was crazy, "Mo Liujin, if the stimulation is too great, then call the palace doctor to take a look."

"...Madam, please eat quickly. Only when you are full will you have the strength to feed your husband." There was a hint of impropriety in Mo Liujin's smile.

"..." Chu Qingmeng understood what he said and gnashed his teeth, "How shameless of you to commit adultery in broad daylight!"

"No." Mo Liujin answered bluntly.

"..." Chu Qingmeng rolled his eyes and threw down his chopsticks, "I don't want to eat anymore!"

"It seems that Madam is not hungry." Mo Liujin also put down his chopsticks and deliberately teased her, pretending to reach out for a hug. "In that case, how about letting your husband eat first?"

"...Get out!" Chu Qingmeng dodged his outstretched hand.

"Knock knock knock" the cold wind knocked lightly on the door of the warm room. "Master, someone from the farm came with a message saying that my aunt is ill. Could you go and see her?"

Mo Liujin's hand froze, and the smile faded. How could she be ill? Worried that his mother would be mistreated by the servants at the farm, his second brother had bought more servants, and the indentures were in his mother's possession. He even provided her with enough silver, charcoal, and everything else she needed. Liu Teng even visited her regularly. It could be said that except for the occasional sightings of his father unlike back at the palace, everything else remained normal, if not better.

Chu Qingmeng sighed imperceptibly. The bloodline of family was still there, and he couldn't possibly be that unfilial son. "Don't be in a daze, go take a look."

Mo Liujin came back to his senses and hugged Chu Qingmeng, "Qingmeng, I'm sorry, she is my mother after all."

"I understand. Go ahead. It's okay." Chu Qingmeng heard the guilt in his tone and took a step back.

Mo Liujin lowered his head and kissed her lips twice, "Eat your meal well and wait for me in the mansion."

Chu Qingmeng rolled his eyes at him again and sat down at the table to eat.

Mo Liujin left and didn't return until midnight the next day. He tiptoed out of his coat, quickly washed up, and then climbed into bed.

Chu Qingmeng was half asleep and was awakened by the cold air he suddenly brought onto the couch. The lights in the room were off and a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside her, which scared her a lot.

"Qingmeng, it's me, it's me, don't be afraid." Realizing that Chu Qingmeng was frightened, Mo Liujin pulled her into his arms.

Chu Qingmeng clutched her chest, her pounding heart making her feel very uncomfortable. She had never been so easily awakened before.

"Qing Meng, don't be afraid. If you come back late next time, I will be quiet and not wake you up."

After a long while, Chu Qingmeng finally calmed down a little, "How's Auntie doing?"

"It's quite serious. I caught a cold a while ago. It wasn't serious at first and I could have taken some medicine, but mother is mad at me, blaming me for only visiting her once in the past two months, so she refused to take the medicine. Yesterday, she had a high fever, and Cuixi had no choice but to send someone to notify us." Mo Liujin saw that she seemed to be still very uncomfortable leaning on his shoulder, so he reached out and stroked her back to soothe her. "The fever subsided tonight, but I was really worried about you, so I came back first. I'll go to replace my second brother tomorrow."

Chu Qingmeng nodded without saying anything. She slipped out of his embrace and lay back on the couch. Mo Liujin pulled her into his arms, covered her with the quilt, and closed his eyes before falling asleep.

What he didn't mention was that when her mother woke up and saw only the three brothers around, she started making a fuss again, saying her daughter-in-law was disobedient and unfilial. But when it comes to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the mother is the mother-in-law, and the mother... isn't even the master. Given Qing Meng and the second sister-in-law's status, even the sixth brother's wife wouldn't have to go. Even they didn't have to go.

So, what his mother said was just to stir up trouble, but his mother was sick, so he couldn't talk back and simply kept silent.

For several days, the brothers stayed at the farm and took turns going home to rest, but they didn't expect that Aunt Liu's illness would recur and become more serious.

It was not until dinner time that day that Mo Liujin returned.

Seeing him enter the restaurant, Chunhe hurriedly asked someone to add another set of bowls and chopsticks. Mo Liujin sat down and hesitated several times, which made Chu Qingmeng frown. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Qingmeng, can... I borrow Quan Si for use?" Mo Liujin knew that this was meant to embarrass Chu Qingmeng, but, that was his mother.

As expected, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Chu Qingmeng's face. Do you really think I'm a saint? "As long as you dare to use it, I dare to lend it to you."

Mo Liujin was speechless. Quan Si was Qing Meng's assassin. His mother wanted to kill Qing Meng, and Liu Qingqing wanted to kill Qing Meng. The Liu family was able to live safely until now, all thanks to Qing Meng's generosity. But Quan Si must have wanted to kill his mother all the time.

After a long while, he sighed and served food to Chu Qingmeng. "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. Don't be angry."

"I should have told you that if there are people or things that threaten my safety, they can disobey my orders." Chu Qingmeng said expressionlessly. She didn't want to be blamed for no reason. "I can't control this."

Mo Liujin nodded. Chu Qingmeng had said all this.
