Time Travel and Love

Chapter 242 Transgression

"We have our own affairs in the court, so there's no need for you to worry too much about it." Seeing Chu Qingmeng's bad face, Mo Liujin also raised his head and looked at Aunt Liu with a sullen face, "Besides, mother, you are overstepping your authority."

"You!!" Aunt Liu slumped in her chair, a look of disbelief on her face. This was her own son! He had disobeyed her for such a monster.

Mo Liuyuan didn't even look at Aunt Liu, nor did he say anything, tacitly agreeing with Mo Liujin's words. However, Mo Liuteng looked at Mo Liujin with astonishment. While what he said was true, was it really okay to contradict his mother like that?!

Chu Qingmeng felt a headache. This was enough! He had just wanted to save face and endure a few words from her, but why did it become so tit-for-tat? He frowned and tugged at Mo Liujin's sleeve, shaking his head slightly, signaling him to stop talking. If something happened to Concubine Liu, Mo Liujin would be guilty.

"Since Auntie doesn't want to see me, then goodbye." Chu Qingmeng stood up, not wanting to walk anymore, so he said, "Summer Solstice."

Shuang Cheng came in from outside and supported Chu Qingmeng as they walked out slowly.

The three brothers were silent for a moment. They watched as Aunt Liu's face was covered in tears. She stood up staggeringly and cried out loudly, "My good sons! You all! You contradicted your own mother for a jealous woman. Jin'er, Jin'er, I have loved you the most since you were a child, and today you disobeyed me for such an ageless monster! You really..."

Hearing the word "monster", Chu Qingmeng paused, but did not turn around. Instead, Xia Zhi looked at Aunt Liu with murderous eyes. He wanted to take action, but Chu Qingmeng grabbed him hard, so he had to restrain his thoughts and continue to help his master walk out.

The three brothers also looked at her in shock. Mo Liuteng snapped, "Mom! You're confused! How can you say that?"

Mo Liujin's expression turned extremely ugly and he roared, "You're crazy! She became like this just to save me!!"

Finally, Aunt Liu's staggering confused the three people. They all thought that she was just too sad. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, Aunt Liu drew the knife from her sleeve and rushed towards Chu Qingmeng who had his back to her.

Several people gasped in fear and attacked. Feiying and Feiling also flew forward to stop them. But there was always someone faster than them. Shuang Cheng had always harbored murderous intent towards Concubine Liu, so he paid close attention to her movements. The moment her dagger came towards him, he broke her wrist, snatched the dagger away, and stabbed it back, straight into her heart.

Chu Qingmeng grabbed Shuang Cheng's blade, but Shuang Cheng's hand trembled and he immediately let go, "Master!"

"Qing Meng!" Mo Liujin grabbed her bleeding hand, carefully took out the dagger, and tore a piece of cloth from his body to wrap it around her.

Shuang Cheng originally wanted to deal with Concubine Liu directly, so he acted quickly. Fortunately, Concubine Liu had no martial arts skills, so Shuang Cheng did not use too much force, otherwise Chu Qingmeng's hand would have been crippled.

Shaking off Mo Liujin who was bandaging him, Chu Qingmeng squatted down following the sound of crying. Facing Aunt Liu, he spoke word by word, "Aunt Liu, you have to understand one thing, from the very beginning! It's not that I must marry your son! It's your son! Begging! Me! To marry him!!"

He suppressed his anger, stood up, held Xia Zhi's hand and left.

"What about my Qingqing? Why did you kill her? She's already married! Why don't you let her go?" Aunt Liu's heartbreaking questioning only earned her a cold snort from Chu Qingmeng.

"Mother!" Mo Liuyuan was equally furious. How could she be so foolish as to be used by someone else? "Liu Qingqing's death was not caused by Qing Meng! This is about the succession, and she got herself into this mess. Who can she blame?! You've been used and you don't even know it!"

Aunt Liu refused to listen and just cried uncontrollably.

Chu Qingmeng felt dizzy with anger. "Shuang Cheng, go back home, quickly."

Shuang Cheng nodded, grabbed Chu Qingmeng's arm, and after a few jumps, he returned to the mansion, with Feiying and the others following closely behind. As soon as he landed, he took her into the house and helped her lie down on the couch to rest. He went to get the medicine box and bandaged Chu Qingmeng. "Master, why did you bother to stop me? If I had been a little more ruthless just now, your hand would have been broken."

"Heh. What can I do? If I'm accused of matricide, the lives of my two little bastards will be ruined. Besides, there's no difference between your attack and mine. Master and servant are one, and whatever you do is what I do." Chu Qingmeng frowned, trying to suppress the dizziness. Feiying and Feiling, noticing Shuangcheng was already bandaging Chu Qingmeng, remained silent and climbed onto the beam.

"I know I was wrong." Shuang Cheng bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"What have you done wrong?" Chu Qingmeng laughed weakly. "If the world wasn't like this, I would have taken action myself. Your actions are just my own thoughts. It's good that you can vent my anger."

"Thank you, sir, for not blaming me." Shuang Cheng put away the medicine box and rubbed Chu Qingmeng's head with peppermint oil. But it was obviously not very effective. Instead, the smell of peppermint oil made Chu Qingmeng spit it out. "Sir!"

Shuang Cheng patted her on the back to calm her down, Feiying said "I'll go find Quan Si" and turned to leave.

Chu Qingmeng felt much more relaxed after vomiting, at least his stomach no longer felt blocked. When Chunhe came back and saw it, he quickly asked someone to come in and clean up, and then helped Chu Qingmeng to bed to rest.
