Chapter 542: Take a Concubine
Chapter 542: Take a Concubine
He ordered in a cold voice to bring the person into the house, and caught up with the staggering Chu Qingmeng in two steps. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, he carried her back to the warm room.
The news of Mo Liujin taking a concubine spread.
The news spread inside and outside the palace.
At the Shangshu Ling Mansion, Mo Liuyuan, still in shock, hugged the furious Mu Lingxue and tried his best to comfort her.
But how could he comfort her? "Mo Liuyuan! What on earth is your mother trying to do?! Just because she's not having a good time, does that mean we shouldn't have a good time too?! Why?!
Filial piety is above all else. I've been patient for decades! During these decades, she's given you concubines, mistresses, and extramarital affairs! But what did I get in return for my patience?!
Enough! I've had enough! I really have had enough. Divorce, Mo Liuyuan.
I am already this old, and I don’t have many years left to live. Let me live out the rest of my life in peace and quiet.”
"Mu Lingxue! Don't even think about it!" Paranoia flashed in Mo Liuyuan's eyes. "Even if you die, don't even think about getting rid of me!"

The temperature of the floor heating in the warm room had already dropped a lot. After all, it was spring and it was not that cold anymore.
But Chu Qingmeng kept complaining of being cold, and the heating in the room was already running hotter than in winter. Even Chunhe, a woman, began to sweat. Not to mention Mo Liujin, who was already sweating profusely, even his underwear was soaked.
But Chu Qingmeng's body was still cold.
Leng Feng was ordered to find Quan Si, but this time, Quan Si was hiding and he could not cure him.
After returning from Yunyin Villa, he reported it to the landlord. The landlord sighed and told him to leave it alone.
If the host had taken action, Jiu Ye might still be saved. But the host, who usually loved Jiu Ye so much, refused to help.
He didn't understand why, but he knew that Jiu Ye was doomed this time.
He was already a living dead, how could he not feel cold? He was just holding on by a grudge of resentment. If he let go of this grudge, he would be dead.
Unable to find Quan Si, Mo Liujin became frantic and ordered someone to call for the imperial physician, but Chu Qingmeng suddenly spoke up, interrupting him, "No need, I'm feeling better."
Insisting on not letting him call the imperial physician, Mo Liujin had no choice but to give up. Chu Qingmeng's chaotic mind still had a trace of stubbornness. He didn't want to see a doctor, and he didn't want to drink bitter and deadly medicine endlessly.
But after two hours, Ling Xian still couldn't bear the heartache and asked Wen Zhong to deliver medicine. However, this medicine could not save her life, it could only stop her from shivering from the cold.
After taking the medicine, she stopped shaking, but her body was still extremely cold.
Mo Liujin had been trying to warm her body, but it was of no use.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu sat together. They had already sent people to look for the brothers. Mrs. Li was a little nervous. "Last time, we didn't even take a concubine, and it caused such a commotion. This time, someone has entered the mansion, and I don't know what to do!"
Xu sighed, lowered her head and rubbed her belly, "This deep affection is sometimes not a good thing."
The two brothers finally returned, and the couple went to the warm room together. Chu Qingmeng had stopped shivering.
"Mother..." Mo Jiangqing grabbed Chu Qingmeng's hand, only to feel it was chillingly cold. He subconsciously closed his hand to warm her up.
Chu Qingmeng looked up at the couple, his eyes filled with panic, but he subconsciously tried to comfort them, "It's okay, just a cold, don't worry."
The two brothers responded without saying anything. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Chu Qingmeng didn't want to be so quiet. She wanted to find something to do. She called Shuang Cheng to ask for the arrow. She wanted to continue analyzing the assassin.
The father and son looked at her in confusion as she held the arrow in her hand.
Eleventh came. He came alone.
Rushing into the room, he saw his little Chujiu sitting quietly on the bed, holding an arrow in his hand.
His arrival made Chu Qingmeng look at him, staring at him intently with a cold look in his eyes.
"You guys go out first." Mo Liujin stood up and kicked everyone out of the yard. He stood outside the window, waiting for Chu Qingmeng to cry out her grievances.
She no longer believed him, so she was unwilling to tell him about her grievances. Or perhaps, he was the instigator of this grievance, making it impossible for her to tell him.
He waited for a long time.
Mo Yunting also waited for a long time. He didn't understand what Chujiu's cold eyes meant.
After a while, Chu Qingmeng finally spoke, "Dad, are you going to kill me?"
Mo Yunting's expression was one of unprecedented disbelief, and he roared angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Am I crazy? Why would I kill you?! You are the only son of Xiyue and me. If I kill you, do you want to take my own life?"
Chu Qingmeng opened his palm, and the arrow fell to the ground. "Last night, this arrow went straight for my chest. If it had missed by even a little bit, it would have pierced my heart."
Mo Yunting picked up the arrow from the ground with trembling hands. It was indeed the arrow used by his guards.
"Dad, don't worry. If I were after your throne, I wouldn't have supported you in the first place. I'm no threat to you. Didn't I tell you? I only want to help you secure the throne. Consider it paying off the two lives I owe you."
"Shut up!! If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill the entire general's family!" Mo Yunting's eyes turned red with anger at her words, and he completely forgot what he came here for.
