Time Travel and Love

Chapter 520 Sweetie, Mrs. Niu

Mu Lingxue was stunned for a moment after hearing her story. In modern times, she was an only child, loved by her parents and treated like the apple of her eye by her grandparents. But when she arrived in Dayu Kingdom, she had no grandparents, but her parents loved her the most, and she had three brothers to protect her. She had never suffered any hardship from family relationships.

Mu Lingxue stood up and hugged Chu Qingmeng. She didn't know what to say, but she felt sad about the sentence "just a bug crawling out of the mud". It was not scary that others looked down on her, but the scary thing was that she had always looked at herself that way.

Chu Qingmeng smiled and patted her arms, "I'm fine. It's all in the past. At least my mother loves me very much, and so does my father. I've also recovered my memories of the time in the mountains. I have a very good master, brothers who love me dearly, and a father who cherished me. So, the bad things that happened before don't affect me much."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go out for a walk. I'm bored to death with you under house arrest." Mu Lingxue also avoided the topic. Adhering to the idea that women should go shopping when they are in a bad mood, she called Chu Qingmeng to go shopping.

"Okay! I also want to go shopping, let's go!" Chu Qingmeng said and left.

The two did not return until just before dinner, and it was the first time that Feiying saw what it was like for his master to buy things freely.

It was nearly one million taels. His hands shook as he paid. Ever since he didn't have enough money to buy the jade last time, Shuangcheng had given him two million taels of silver notes to put into his master's private vault. It was also thanks to Shuangcheng that he gave him those dozen silver notes, otherwise he would have had to go to Shuangcheng to ask for the red envelope for the New Year.

In just over a month, his master spent nearly two million taels, which shocked him.

But everything today is in duplicate. I don’t know what the master wants to do.

The next day, Chu Qingmeng had someone open the private vault, count all the items, register them in duplicate, divide them up, and then seal and lock them again.

Chu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he'd completed a major project. Now all they had to do was wait for Madam Xu to give birth. The court doctor said it was likely a daughter, and Chu Qingmeng was overjoyed. It was truly what he'd hoped for.

Mo Liujin did not return home last night. Perhaps since Aunt Liu was seriously ill, he probably would not return home for a few days.

It was almost dinner time, and Jingming came to say that the Eleventh Master invited her to have dinner at Yinyue Tower.

Chu Qingmeng agreed and asked someone to tell Li that he would not be home for dinner.

After entering Yinyue Tower, she found that Mo Yunting and Ling Xian had already arrived and had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Father, Daddy, have you two been together recently?" Chu Qingmeng was speechless because they appeared together too often.

"Don't you want to see both of us at the same time?" Mo Yunting took the cloak she took off and hung it on the hanger.

"That's not the case. I've gotten used to it during this time." Chu Qingmeng washed his hands and sat down at the table.

The waiter served all the dishes and closed the door before leaving. Shuang Cheng took Fei Ying, Jing Yan and the others to eat in another room, with a separate room between them to ensure they couldn't hear Chu Qingmeng and the others' conversation.

After a pleasant dinner, Mo Yunting saw that both of them had finished eating, and then he spoke, "Your father and I have already discussed all the plans. Now we need someone to lead the troops."

Chu Qingmeng looked at him in astonishment, "Are you going to let me come?"

Mo Yunting smiled and looked at Ling Xian.

"Well, he must stay in the palace and not come out. I need to suppress the prince's confidants. The Qilin Guard is special. Only people your father trusts can lead the troops." Ling Xian put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Don't be afraid, Wen Zhong and the other four will follow you."

"I'm not afraid, but will those Qilin Guards listen to me?"

"I'll take you to see it tomorrow. During this period, your task is to familiarize yourself with the Qilin Guard." Mo Yunting took a sip from the tea bowl.

"How many people are there in the Qilin Guard?" Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Yunting while chewing a pill in his mouth.

"Fifty thousand men."

"Cough cough cough..." Chu Qingmeng coughed because of choking. Ling Xian patted her back, his face full of helplessness. Mo Yunting handed her the tea, "Slow down."

"You call so many people 'guards'? They should be called 'army'!" Chu Qingmeng calmed down and looked at Mo Yunting, "Besides, where did you hide all those people?! There are 80,000 border guards stationed in the outer suburbs, and another 20,000 in the inner suburbs. 50,000 people, where are you going to hide?!"

"Those border guards are stationed in the far south suburbs of the capital, and the Qilin Guards are stationed in the deep mountains in the far north suburbs." Mo Yunting took the teapot and poured her more tea. "Your father will also come tomorrow. We are all here, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I don't understand. It's not that the Border Guards can't be used. Most of the three battalions are from Prince Rong's Mansion. The Imperial Guards are also yours. Why don't you use them?"

Mo Yunting sighed and smiled helplessly, "The fact that my clan members are so powerful is not a good thing for me. This is to dampen their arrogance and alert the people in Prince Rong's mansion. It's time to restrain themselves."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. When the birds are gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked." Chu Qingmeng smiled and raised an eyebrow at Mo Yunting, "You are so pure. 'When you need me, call me Little Sweetie; when you don't need me, call me Madam Niu.'"
