Chu Qingmeng showed no signs of waking up. Mo Liujin guarded her step by step, wiping her down, lifting her up to brush her long hair, and holding her in his arms as he slept. For half a month, he skipped morning court. Hearing the reports from his spies, Mo Liuyun trembled with rage. He never expected that a casual daily conversation between the two of them could drive these people to such lengths! All of Mengmeng's painstaking planning for the Rong Prince Mansion had gone to waste! Ungrateful wretches!
Mo Liuchen returned to his mansion and punished his wife, but only by making her reflect in the ancestral hall, forbidden to step outside the courtyard. After all, she was his primary wife, had borne his children, attended to him morning and evening without a single misstep, and had never committed any of the seven grounds for divorce. Furthermore, their sons were already fathers themselves; he had to consider the younger generation and could not cast her aside. He could only wait for Qingmeng to wake up so he could confess and apologize to her himself. Yet what use was an apology? The child was gone—Third Brother's child in his old age. The rift between the brothers would surely be deep from now on! As he was hesitating, Mo Liujue and Mo Liuteng arrived.
"Enough, stop pacing," Mo Liujue glanced at him. "The two of us went to see Qingmeng just now. She is breathing, but it has been more than ten days, and there is still no sign of her waking up."
