Chapter 564: Rest in the Warm Room

The two brothers exchanged a subtle glance, then stood up and helped Chu Qingmeng walk towards the warm room. When they touched her arm, they were both stunned. "Mother, you've lost a lot of weight. How come your already frail body has become even thinner?" This arm was just bone.

Mo Jiangche exuded a strong floral scent, but Chu Qingmeng still couldn't remember where he had smelled it before. Subconsciously, he felt it wasn't a good thing, so he asked again, "You haven't been to the Dong family compound recently, have you?"

"No. I remember everything my mother said." Mo Jiangche has been very busy recently. Not only has he visited Dong's family, he has also not visited Xu's family twice. He mostly stayed in his own room.

Chu Qingmeng nodded and said nothing more. After returning from the fifth floor and talking for a while in the courtyard, she was already exhausted. She returned to the warm room, sent the two away, and then lay down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

When Mo Liujin entered the room and saw the person sleeping, he felt much more at ease. He was finally back, and it was good to be able to see her. As long as he stayed by her side, he would always get her forgiveness.

But soon, he realized something was wrong. Why was his breathing so light? Almost imperceptible!

After thinking for a moment, Mo Liujin lay down next to Chu Qingmeng, wanting to hug her in his arms, but when he did so, he discovered that her originally flat and soft abdomen was now sunken.

Mo Liujin's breathing stagnated as he undressed Chu Qingmeng. Every bone in her body was clearly visible, except for her face, which was only slightly thinner, not that exaggerated, perhaps because of the makeup or something else.

Mo Liujin couldn't help but break down and cry silently. How long could she hold on at this rate? What on earth could he do to make her return to her former self?

When it was almost time for lunch, Mo Liujin woke her up, asked the servants to put lunch on the table, and then he held her in his arms and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

Chu Qingmeng was too lazy to move. She was still sick and it would be better if someone fed her. So, every time he fed her a mouthful, she would eat a mouthful.

After lunch, when he asked her to drink the medicine, he found that she actually accepted the medicine he fed her. In the past, as long as she had a little strength, she would not want to drink it with a spoon!

Every time Mo Liujin took a breath now, it felt like a needle prick, but he didn't dare cry in front of her. He was afraid to see her indifferent look.

Mo Liujin didn't go anywhere for the whole afternoon. He just held her in his arms until dinner time when he repeated the process of feeding her and giving her medicine. Chu Qingmeng still didn't say much.

It was time to rest at night. After Chu Qingmeng got off the bed and washed up, Mo Liujin saw the bloodless face and sunken eye sockets. In the end, he couldn't help it and spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Without alerting anyone else, Shuang Cheng quickly called Quan Si to give him acupuncture.

"You have internal congestion, blocked heart meridians, and you've been overworked lately and haven't fully recovered yet." Quan Si frowned as he wrote out the medicine.

"Yes. Let someone go down and boil the medicine." Chu Qingmeng responded, "Quan Si, I'm a little sleepy. Ask Leng Feng to come in and take care of him."

"Master, you go to sleep first. Please remember not to overwork yourself." Quan Si helped Chu Qingmeng lie down on the couch, then left to call Chun and Lengfeng.

Chu Qingmeng fell asleep, and Chunhe just watched her, worried that she would wake up at night.

Leng Feng, on the other hand, took very good care of the baby, feeding him medicine and covering him with a blanket.

Mo Liujin didn't wake up until midnight. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to look for Chu Qingmeng. When he found that she was sleeping on the couch, he sent everyone away, gently carried her, who was not very heavy, back to the couch, and held her in his arms before falling asleep.

After lunch the next day.

Chu Qingmeng only took a short nap before getting up, putting on a cotton coat before changing into spring clothes. This way, almost no one could tell her condition at a glance.

Chunhe put makeup on Chu Qing while feeling sad. The thick makeup barely covered her paleness.

Mo Liujin closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down, then half-embraced her and went to the front hall.

Mrs. Xu was sitting happily in the front hall holding the child. It was a rare happy event, so Chu Qingmeng was inevitably happy too. Seeing that the child had gained some weight after the confinement period, she couldn't help but take the child and hold him in her arms.

"This must be around eight or nine pounds, right?" Chu Qingmeng felt the pressure of the child in her arms, and she couldn't help but poke the soft little face.

Perhaps because he was hungry, the child didn't shrink from the coldness of her fingertips. Instead, he opened his mouth and chased after her hand, wanting to eat. Chu Qingmeng laughed at this. The human cub was so cute.

"Mother, it's not just eight or nine pounds. This girl weighs at least ten pounds. She never cries or makes a fuss all day long. She just eats and sleeps." Mo Jiangche couldn't hide the joy on his precious daughter's face as he looked at her.

Chu Qingmeng returned the child to the Xu family, and the family waited together for the guests to arrive. Mu Lingxue was the first to arrive. She was determined to ignore Mo Liuyuan today. He could nag as much as he wanted, but she came first.

"Why do you look so much thinner?" Mu Lingxue frowned as she looked at the makeup on her face.

Chu Qingmeng smiled and said, "I was busy recently and didn't have time to eat. Most of the time I just ate some cakes and pastries. Isn't it abnormal to be thin? Now that I'm done with my work, all I do all day is eat and sleep. Sooner or later I will gain weight."

"You're busy, but you're not eating properly. I want to see who will take care of things for you if you fall ill." Mu Lingxue sighed, waved, and asked Qiu Shou to take out the food box. "Try it? It's new."
