Time Travel and Love

Chapter 491 Don’t leave me behind

"My second brother has always had this temper. He doesn't like to talk or be active. He only has two hobbies: reading and drinking tea." Ling Xiao also wanted to communicate more with his second brother, but his second brother didn't like to pay attention to him.

Looking at Mo Jiangqing and others shooting two or three arrows at the same time, Ling Xian lightly tapped the armrest of the armchair with the fingers of one hand.

The lottery ended, and Shen Sixu's third son won the jackpot. A group of young people congratulated him and joked around.

Until the evening banquet, because there were foreign men such as the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo present, men and women sat at separate tables.

Mo Liujin felt a little restless. He took Chu Qingmeng to a less crowded place and kept reminding her, "If you leave, make sure someone calls me. Even if you need to change clothes, be sure to call me. Pay attention to the maids. Don't eat anything handed to you by a stranger..."

"..." Chu Qingmeng blinked and looked at him straight.

Mo Liujin stroked her long hair and said helplessly, "I know you think I'm nagging, but you have to listen to me. Be good and obedient. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll accompany you all day, okay?"

"Puchi" someone laughed not far away. It was the old wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Madam Ling, and the old wife of the Duke of Fuguo, Madam Shen. The two of them came from the flower hall with Chen Siyu and heard Mo Liujin's words.

Madam Ling joked, "Sister-in-law, look at how worried your third son is. He's like a fool."

Chen Siyu smiled softly, "They have been close since they were young. Qingmeng was always sick because of his poor health. He just got better, so Liujin was worried and kept giving him some extra advice."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two aunts." Mo Liujin bowed slightly.

Chu Qingmeng lowered her head slightly as a sign of greeting. After all, she didn't need to bow when meeting the emperor. Apart from Ling Xian and Mo Yunting, the only people who could accept her greeting were Mo Chenfeng and Chen Siyu.

In the evening, everyone sat down to the table. The women were chatting and laughing peacefully, but the men were discussing Ling Xian because he didn't drink.

"Brother Xingjian, can't you drink?" Mo Liufang was very surprised. There were almost no men in Dayu Kingdom who couldn't drink.

"will not."

"Let's give it a try. At our age, we have a lot of social engagements, and it's also a problem that Brother Xingjian can't drink." Shen Sixu said.

“…I am not in good health and cannot drink alcohol.”

As soon as this reason came out, the whole audience fell silent for a moment.

In fact, it’s not that Ling Xian can’t drink, but in his eyes these mortals are not qualified to drink with him. What’s more, he came down the mountain to take his rebellious son away, and he doesn’t need to socialize with anything.

Ling Feng saw all of this and sighed inwardly. Although sending him to the mountain saved his life, it also made him more withdrawn. "Xian'er, although you can't drink alcohol, you can drink tea instead. They all grew up under your father's care. You can also talk to them more and don't always stay alone."

“…” Ling Xian was extremely reluctant, but still responded.

At the banquet in the evening, although everyone was not drunk, they were a little tipsy, especially Mo Liujin. He didn't drink much, but he was emotional when facing Ling Xian, so he was also a little drunk.

After the banquet, everyone returned home to rest. Leng Feng Feiying helped Mo Liujin into the carriage, and Chun He also helped her into the carriage. Ling Xian, sitting on the horse, glanced over calmly. Chu Qingmeng shrank his neck and got into the carriage dejectedly.

Mo Liujin returned to the warm room and hugged Chu Qingmeng behind him. Chunhe and the others tactfully retreated.

"Qingmeng..." Mo Liujin hugged Chu Qingmeng tightly, trying to avoid his uneasiness.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qingmeng was a little confused.

"You won't leave me, right?" Mo Liujin wanted to seek some comfort from Chu Qingmeng.

"No." Chu Qingmeng was placed on his lap, his head nestled on her chest. Chu Qingmeng reached out and hugged his head, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ling Xian came down the mountain for you, right?" Mo Liujin keenly caught the place that Chu Qingmeng and Ling Xian mentioned at the same time in today's conversation, "Purple Gold Mountain", so they met on the mountain.

"Is that so?" Chu Qingmeng twitched his lips.

"Don't leave me, don't go with him..." Mo Liujin's voice was inexplicably filled with a sense of grievance and sobs. He knew that these two must be senior and junior brothers and sisters, childhood sweethearts, and he belonged to the later one. He was afraid that his love for her could not compare to theirs.

Chu Qingmeng didn't know what he was imagining, but her father really wanted to take her back to the mountain. "I won't go with him. I came down the mountain for you. How could I abandon you?"

Chu Qingmeng comforted Mo Liujin. She never thought that one day she would be able to treat Mo Liujin like a child. She also never thought that her departure would cause him so much stress and insecurity.

But before Mo Liujin could be coaxed, Chun He came knocking on the door, her voice somewhat anxious, "Miss...Miss, something happened in Luotangyuan."

Chu Qingmeng stood up, somewhat bewildered. Hadn't Mrs. Dong been staying peacefully in Luotang Courtyard? What could have happened?

Mo Liujin turned his head to look outside the door, a flicker of disdain in his eyes. "Does this bastard have no sense of propriety?! How did he end up in front of Qing Meng?"
