Time Travel and Love

Chapter 562 Testing

Mo Jiangqing and Mo Jiangche looked at her at the same time, and even Mo Liujin looked at her in surprise.

"If mother isn't a human being, what else could she be?" Mo Jiangqing's words were both a test and a joke.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I'm a ghost, a demon, or a god. Anyway, if I weren't human, would you be afraid of me?" Chu Qingmeng didn't hear his probing and just treated it as a normal question. "Think carefully before answering."

After Chu Qingmeng finished speaking, Mo Jiangqing breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his mother was joking.

"If it's a goblin, will it be as scary as described in the book?" Mo Jiangche also became interested.

"It's not scary, is it?" Chu Qingmeng felt that his fox form should not be scary.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Mo Jiangqing laughed.

"..." Chu Qingmeng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it scary for a living person to turn into a kitten or puppy?"

"If I transform into a tiger or something, that should scare people, but a cat or a dog won't scare anyone." Mo Jiangche laughed, "What is the mother going to transform into to scare her son?"

"...I can't change into anything." Chu Qingmeng twitched her lips. If she were to transform into her original form now, unless her father turned her into a fox, she would have to wait until she died before she could transform into a ten-tailed celestial fox. Or if something unexpected happened, she would have to transform into her original form.

"Mom, have you ever seen a monster?" Mo Jiangqing asked softly when he saw that she was lost in thought.

"I guess I've seen him before." Chu Qingmeng raised her eyebrows. She was not a demon, but Mo Liujin was.

"Is that monster ugly? Does it eat people?" Mo Jiangche was very curious.

"...Demons that cultivate the righteous path won't eat or harm humans. Only those who cultivate unorthodox ways will harm or eat humans. As for beauty and ugliness...different species have different appearances. You can't expect a toad that becomes a demon to be as beautiful as a fairy, right?"

"Haha..." This made the two brothers laugh. Indeed, just as people are beautiful and ugly, so too are monsters.

After chatting and laughing, it was late at night, so Chu Qingmeng sent the two of them back to rest.

Mo Liujin took her to bed and continued to warm her cold body.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard his sigh in her ears, "Qingmeng, how can you forgive me? How can I get better? Please show me a clear way..."

He was really fed up with the days of being in physical harmony but spiritually alienated.

Chu Qingmeng didn't open his eyes, pretending not to hear and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day at 3 a.m., Chu Qingmeng was forced to turn on her phone and she got up with her eyes closed. Mo Liujin sighed and got up as well, helping her wash and dress. The family of four separated at the gate of the mansion, leaving the capital to the south and north, respectively, and heading for the suburbs.

Seven days later, Mo Liujin and his sons returned home after their patrol, but Chu Qingmeng had not yet returned.

It was not until the ninth day that Mo Liujin could no longer sit still and asked someone to prepare his horse so that he could go to Ruzhou.

But before he could prepare his horse, Feiying came back, "Master, the master is back, but he went straight back to the fifth floor. He said he was very tired these days and wanted to relax alone."

Mo Liujin clenched his fists tightly, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He just stood up and went back to the study.

Only Feiying knew that Chu Qingmeng was truly exhausted. This time, when they went to the outskirts of Beijing, the superior had just sent his master off and left. The second master of the Zhenguo Mansion hadn't even shown up. And his master was working himself to death, patrolling the camp and conducting surprise inspections almost day and night.

At this time, Chu Qingmeng on the fifth floor was soaking in the bathtub, holding a pair of dolls in wedding dresses in his hands, staring blankly.

I originally thought that I didn't care about the format of the wedding, as long as both parties were happy. I didn't expect that it would become a regret now.

She laughed at herself and threw the doll to the ground. Forget it, she didn't need it even if there was a wedding coming up.

Now this situation is the same for everything and everyone. It is tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away.

After washing up, I sat by the window and picked up the book "Qingxin Jue" which had been idle for a long time and read it over and over again.

A pure heart is like water; pure water is the heart; a gentle breeze stirs no waves. Sitting alone among the bamboo groves, I whistle and play my qin; Zen-like tranquility lures me, and poisonous dragons flee. My heart is pure, and heaven rewards diligence; my righteousness is awe-inspiring, and even ghosts and spirits are terrified. My passion overflows, and heaven and earth are at my side; my ambition soars, and the wind rises. The sky is high, the earth vast, the water flows, and the clouds move; freshness cures the root, and the upright path guides one's life. The highest nature is the highest good, and the great way is natural.

After reading it countless times, Chu Qingmeng finally felt at ease. He took the files and began to examine them one by one. He continued to work tirelessly until late at night.

For three consecutive days, he dealt with all the chores day and night, until late at night, his already exhausted body finally couldn't bear it anymore and he fainted on the armchair.

Mo Liujin had also been staying up all day and night in his study these past few days. Only when he was busy with things could he stop thinking about her. He was feeling depressed and, unsurprisingly, fell ill.

The two brothers were in a dilemma. They couldn't even get into the fifth floor, so they couldn't see their mother or know if she was eating or resting properly. Now that their father was ill, they couldn't send a message in.

Fortunately, Mo Liujin's health was much better than Chu Qingmeng's, and he recovered after taking medicine for a few days.

Chu Qingmeng developed a high fever after fainting. When Mo Yunting found out, he dropped all government affairs and went to the fifth floor.
