Time Travel and Love

Chapter 499 Zhang Fei Embroidery

"I don't know you well." Mo Liujin's voice became more and more cold. It was not like he couldn't see what the woman wanted to do. If he continued to be nice to her, he would be a fool.

"Cousin..." Song Wanwan's tears flowed even more. "Three years ago, when you went to Jiangzhou to deliver my aunt's letter to my mother, didn't you praise me for my gentleness and charm? Why are you saying today that you don't know me well?"

"..." Mo Liujin racked his brains but couldn't remember such a thing. Seeing Chu Qingmeng looking at him with a half-smile, Mo Liujin instantly became furious. "I did go to Jiangzhou three years ago, but I didn't see any unmarried women at my aunt's house. You are talking nonsense like this. Do you still care about your reputation as a boudoir?!"

"I'm not talking nonsense...cousin..." Song Wanwan saw Chu Qingmeng beside Mo Liujin looking up at him, and she understood what was going on. "Yes, it was Wanwan who was talking nonsense. I hope this sister won't be angry. Wanwan and cousin are indeed not familiar with each other."

Oh, huh? The aroma of tea fills the air, and this beauty lowers her eyes, holding back tears. Her eyes and eyebrows show the look of someone who has betrayed their love and is forced to compromise. I really want to call Mo Liujin a scumbag.

"How dare you! You..." Before Mo Liujin could finish his scolding, Chu Qingmeng stopped him, "Third brother, you act like a scumbag~"

Mo Liujin sighed and felt like his head was about to explode. Although he didn't understand what the word "scumbag" meant, it was definitely not a good thing. "Good Qingmeng, good Chujiu, don't be angry, I really don't know her."

"Yes, sister, don't be angry. There is indeed nothing between Wanwan and my cousin." After saying that, two lines of tears slowly flowed down.

“…” What a strong acting spirit! These tears are just right!

"..."For the first time in his life, Mo Liujin witnessed the 'viciousness' of a woman.

"Since my sister says she is innocent, then I will believe her. Stop crying. Your face will not be beautiful if you cry." Chu Qingmeng pretended not to understand her hidden meaning and went forward with a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Song Wanwan was stunned for a moment. Why didn't it go the way she expected? Shouldn't this woman be angry? Why did she still say she believed her lies? Seeing Chu Qingmeng approaching, Song Wanwan cried out "Ouch!" the moment they made contact, she fell against Mo Liujin. "Ah! Why did you push me, sister?"

Mo Liujin's eyes flashed with impatience, and he kicked Song Wanwan, who had rushed towards him, to the ground. "As a girl in the boudoir, you have no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame. It seems that your aunt didn't bring you up well. Leng Feng! Send my cousin back to your aunt's house! Let your aunt discipline you properly!"

Song Wanwan was taken away by Chu Qingmeng's accompanying maid, and Leng Feng ordered his men to escort her back to Aunt Liu's house.

"My good mood has been ruined!" Mo Liujin took the cloak beside him and put it on Chu Qingmeng. "Let's go look around some other places and see if there's anything you like."

Leng Feng settled the bill with the shopkeeper, and Mo Liujin took Chu Qingmeng out.

After leaving the house, Chu Qingmeng laughed and said, "I really don't know what your cousin is after. She's so depressed at such a young age. Is it because you're old? Because you don't take a shower? Because you have two dollars and a half in your pocket and you die early?"

"..." Mo Liujin laughed angrily, pinched Chu Qingmeng's nose, and gritted his teeth, "You really have to make me angry, don't you?"

Chu Qingmeng chuckled, then took Mo Liujin's arm and continued shopping. Little did she know she'd unwittingly uncovered the truth. Song Wanwan really was hoping Mo Liujin would die young due to his advanced age. After all, he was the most prestigious person she could ever meet. A general might die fighting on the battlefield any day, and by then, wouldn't she have all the status and wealth? Guarding the vast general's mansion all by herself, wouldn't all the property belong to her? And secretly keeping a few male favorites, what kind wouldn't she have? Just thinking about it made her feel good!

This little episode did not affect Chu Qingmeng's mood. The two of them went to Qingfeng Tower to eat some new dishes, and then slowly returned to the general's mansion.

After returning to the main courtyard, Chu Qingmeng realized that the 'some' Mo Liujin was talking about was actually a complete set of more than 20 pieces of head ornaments, with gold thread edging, kingfisher feathers, inlaid with gems and pearls. It was extremely luxurious. The ones in her private treasury given by the late emperor were not even a fraction of this set.

Chu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "A New Year's gift?"

"Not really. I just gave these to make my wife smile." Mo Liujin picked up the necklace from the tray and put it on Chu Qingmeng. "I know you don't like these luxurious things, but I still wanted to give it to you. It will look good on you."

"Then can you pin my hair for me?" Chu Qingmeng teased him. He had gained a lot today. He didn't expect that Mo Liujin, a straight man, also knew how to customize jewelry. It was really a pleasant surprise.

Mo Liujin was a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't know how to style women's hair, but he still agreed, "I'll give it a try. I've never done that for Madam."

As expected, he is not good at it. Chu Qingmeng took off her original bun, and with a hairpin from him, it turned into a mess.

"..." Chu Qingmeng pursed his lips, pulled Mo Liujin over and asked him to sit down, "Chunhe, do my makeup. I am putting it in a difficult position for you, General. You can hold a knife, a gun, or a pen with your hands, but asking you to do my makeup is as difficult as asking you to embroider."
