Time Travel and Love

Chapter 558: Burned

When they entered the main courtyard, Mo Chenfeng and Chen Siyu were both there. Seeing Chu Qingmeng and Mo Liujin coming in a friendly manner, they felt relieved.

Chen Siyu raised her hand to signal Chu Qingmeng to come over. She pulled her hand and frowned, looking at her clothes. "Why are your hands so cold?"

Chu Qingmeng interrupted with a smile, "Mother, it's cold in the morning. I've been feeling unwell, so it's normal for my hands to be cold."

"You have always been afraid of the cold, and so has Liu Jin. Why don't you ask someone to prepare some thicker clothes for you?" Chen Siyu took her hand in his own to warm her.

"Mother, you are telling me this, and I will not forget it next time." Chu Qingmeng took out his hand and gathered Chen Siyu's clothes so that his actions would not seem so deliberate.

As soon as I sat back in my seat, Mo Liuyuan, Mo Liuchen, Mo Liuteng and others arrived.

From the moment he entered the door, Mo Liuteng had been staring at Chu Qingmeng, with hatred in his eyes that he had no intention of concealing.

Chu Qingmeng pretended not to see it and chatted with everyone.

Mo Chenfeng looked at Mo Liuteng with a clear warning, and Mo Liuteng reluctantly looked away.

"Look, this is the new tea Yunshu gave me yesterday. After watering it with boiling water, the flowers slowly bloomed. It looks quite fresh to me." Chen Siyu smiled and let everyone take a look.

Chu Qingmeng was lost in thought at the moment and didn't listen carefully to what Chen Siyu said. He just subconsciously raised the tea bowl and took a sip.

"Qingmeng!" Mo Liujin was so frightened when he saw Chu Qingmeng picked up the tea and drank it directly. He reached out and knocked over the tea bowl in her hand. He pinched her mouth open and saw the bubbles on her tongue and cheeks. "Lengfeng! Bring some ice! Someone! Bring some cold water!"

"What are you doing!" Chu Qingmeng was forced to drink two mouthfuls of cold water by him. She struggled to shake off his hand, frowned and turned her head away.

Her words stunned everyone present. Mu Lingxue was the first to react, "Chu Qingmeng, this is freshly boiled water!!"

Chu Qingmeng: "..."

Whose tea isn't served slightly hot?! How could it be boiling hot?!

"My cup isn't that hot..." Chu Qingmeng made up an excuse.

Mo Liujin's hand, which had been scalded by the tea he knocked over, had a large number of blisters on it. However, he was in no mood to care about it at the moment. Instead, he stared at Chu Qingmeng and stuffed the ice cube that Leng Feng handed to her into her mouth.

He handled the situation calmly, but his hands couldn't stop shaking. The cold wind also applied ice to his hands.

Mo Liufang had been sitting in his chair, tightly gripping the armrests, only then did he stop himself from rushing over. However, he couldn't help but stare at her.

"My son, can't you... feel the heat?" Mo Chenfeng remembered the unusual temperature in the warm room.

Chu Qingmeng held the ice in her mouth and smiled without saying anything. Not only could she no longer feel the temperature, she also couldn't feel the pain.

"Qingmeng, nod if you can feel it, and shake your head if you can't." Mo Liuchen felt something was strange when looking at Chu Qingmeng's performance. She seemed not to feel the heat or the pain.

"..." Chu Qingmeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pretended to be in pain and said, "Of course I can feel it. It's just that I've been a little dull since I woke up from my coma."

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Mo Liujin felt pain and anger. If he hadn't looked at her out of habit, her mouth would have been full of bubbles after just a few sips of this cup of boiling hot tea!

"I don't want to talk about it." Chu Qingmeng spat out the melted ice in his mouth and put another piece in his mouth.

Mo Liujin seemed to be overwhelmed by these words. He felt a tight pain in his chest and was a little breathless. He just stopped talking and silently placed the ice cube next to her hand.

Mo Liujue spoke to avoid the topic and divert everyone's attention away.

Instead, Mo Liuteng snorted and muttered "Serves you right" under his breath!

After the greetings were over, everyone stood up and left. The sisters-in-law walked behind, chatting with each other, while the brothers walked in front, only exchanging a few words occasionally, until they left the house and got into their carriages.

Mu Lingxue originally wanted to sit with Chu Qingmeng, but Mo Liuyuan directly took them to his carriage, "Can't you see they are still angry? Don't go over and interfere."

“…” I wanted to go because I knew about this! I was afraid she would be bullied!

When they arrived at the mansion gate, Chu Qingmeng got off the carriage and went straight into the mansion without looking back at Mu Lingxue.

This made her feel very strange. But then she thought that maybe they were angry with her and that was why she didn't look back, so it didn't seem so strange anymore.

Mo Liufang finally couldn't help himself and asked Leng Chi to deliver the burn ointment. He couldn't go there, because if he did, there would be gossip. He just asked Leng Chi to secretly deliver the ointment to Feiying.

Chu Qingmeng walked in front silently, Mo Liujin followed behind her. Shuang Cheng had called all four marquises in advance.

"Quan Si, tell me the truth, how is Qingmeng's health?" After delivering the burn medicine to Chu Qingmeng, Quan Si was pulled under the pavilion by Mo Liujin.

All four kept silent.

Seeing that he refused to answer, Mo Liujin closed his eyes, leaned forward and was about to kneel, "Brother! I beg you to tell me the truth!"

"Son-in-law, why are you making things difficult for me?" Quan Si helplessly stopped him and sighed, "Ever since she felt cold, she's lost the ability to sense temperature. I discovered this the last time I took her pulse. She must have lost her sense of pain, and her spleen and stomach are weak, so she can't feel hungry. She's acting normal now, but she just doesn't want to draw too much attention to herself."
