Chapter 548: Arranging the Funeral
Chapter 548: Arranging the Funeral
Mo Liujin couldn't stay with her forever. The next day, Ling Xiao and the others arrived and held a meeting in the meeting room in the front yard. Twelve's spy was no longer valuable. After being captured, he had to be reported to the higher-ups for a decision.
"Zecheng, are you really taking a concubine?" Ling Xiao approached him in a servile manner.
"...Get lost." Mo Liujin gave him a cold word, bringing up something that was not relevant to the topic!
"It seems to be true. By the way, I have to meet her. I'm so curious. With such a beautiful lady with angelic looks in front of me, how beautiful does this concubine have to be to attract you?" Ling Xiao jokingly nudged him with his elbow.
"I'm giving it to you. Take it home and look around." Mo Liujin was very troubled. This aunt kept making excuses and refused to leave, and he didn't know what to do.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Is the beauty angry?"
"More than that!" Mo Liujin leaned weakly on the chair.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a beauty with such a gentle temperament can also get angry. You are really going too far."
"You came here specifically to make sarcastic remarks, didn't you? Are you, brother? If you are, please do me a favor and get rid of this person."
"...How dare I, my wife, show my temper? The beauty has a good temper, so you just need to coax her more."
"……roll!"
Chu Qingmeng, taking advantage of Mo Liujin's absence, had already begun to arrange his affairs. It wasn't because he knew his time was up, but because he simply didn't want to stay at the foot of the mountain anymore.
Was her gaming room no longer popular, or were her master and brothers not loving her enough? Were the elixirs no longer tasty, or was it her father who stopped giving her money? What was she thinking? Would she abandon her family, who loved her, for a man?
Chu Qingmeng knew that many things could not be taken away, and she did not want to take them away. Therefore, she had to settle everything.
Jiang Qing was the eldest son. In the future, Mo Liujin's title and the estate would be his, so she showed some favoritism by dividing everything she had in two. According to the rules, two-thirds should go to the eldest son. But Jiang Che was so close to her, she couldn't just leave him a small portion.
The Qianji Pavilion was left to Jiang Qing, and the fifth floor was left to Jiang Che.
The Hu family... they couldn't protect it. She would figure out where it should go.
She has prepared all the dowries for her two granddaughters, and if there is anything missing, they can buy it themselves.
She only had that little money, so she would give it half to each of them. She would ask her father to cure the poison of Wen Zhong and the others, and let them stay and watch the two scoundrels become independent before retiring.
She has the indentures of Feiying and Chunhe, and she will return them to them. It will be up to them to decide whether to leave or not.
After reviewing everything, there's nothing left, right? Now I just have to help the old man finish one last thing.
Chu Qingmeng emptied his heart of everything and threw it into the trash can, including his own heart.
Mo Liujin, she doesn’t want him anymore.
She also doesn't want Qi Yao, that stubborn snake.
She didn't know why, but at that moment, it seemed like something collapsed. She felt cold all over and felt uncomfortable.
But...what collapsed?
Chu Qingmeng shuddered. Why did he suddenly feel cold again?
She silently climbed back onto the couch, covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
This time, she slept in a confused and relaxed manner. In her dream, she was still the little fox sleeping on her father's belly.
Father's belly felt so warm, and she was finally no longer as cold as she had been in the past few days.
In her dream, she wanted to steal her father's freshly refined elixir. When she reached out her claws to grab it, she was burned by sparks falling from the furnace.
The father was very angry. After applying some medicine, he put her in a net bag and hung her on a tree, telling her to reflect on herself and see if she would dare to put her claws into the furnace again.
The little fox was forced to curl up in the net bag, and from a distance it looked like a ball of fur.
The eldest brother walked over from a distance, looked at the ball of fur on the tree and jokingly said, "Hey? Whose scarf is hung on the tree?"
Humph! You stinky old man! You are the Weibo! Your whole family is the Weibo! The little fox wanted to show her teeth, but she was forced to curl up and couldn't show her teeth.
In the end, she was taken down from the tree by the eldest brother, who carried her into the alchemy room and pleaded with her father.
She couldn't hear what her father said, but she only heard him sigh deeply, and then she fell into his arms, his warm palms stroking the hair on her back...
Chu Qingmeng woke up.
Mo Liujin hugged her and couldn't control his tears.
Looking around, Mu Lingxue was wiping her tears, Jiang Qing, Jiang Che, Li and Xu all looked sad with red eyes.
"What's wrong..." Chu Qingmeng was at a loss.
"Are you sleeping or hibernating?!" Mu Lingxue yelled, tears streaming down her face again.
"...I slept for a long time?" Chu Qingmeng was stunned by Mu Lingxue's yelling. She thought she had just had a normal sleep.
"Mother, you have been sleeping for five days."
"..." Chu Qingmeng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's very much like hibernation."
"Quan Si has come to see you several times, and they all said you were sleeping." Mo Liujin calmed down and let her go. "Are you really not feeling unwell?"
"No. Don't think I'm going to die just because I fall asleep. Besides, this isn't the first time I've slept like this."
