A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 315 Goodbye after a long separation

"Master, Master Muliang is back."

As soon as Li Yunye and An Yun returned to the Li Mansion from the dyeing workshop, the housekeeper An Ge hurriedly came forward and reported to him.

In the past few months, the young master has been worried about Young Master Mu Liang who is far away. They have seen it all, so they were surprised to see Young Master Mu Liang come back. When Ange was about to send someone to the dyeing workshop, he heard that the young master had also returned home, so he rushed to the front yard in person.

"When did you arrive? Where is Brother Muliang?" Li Yunye was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been worried and frightened for several months, and today he could finally rest assured.

"Half an incense stick ago, Master Mu Liang was paying his respects to Madam in the Plum Garden." Seeing that the master was happy, Ange replied with a smile.

Li Yunye said nothing more, and just hurried towards the plum garden. At this moment, he couldn't wait to see Brother Mu Liang. Before he entered the plum garden, he saw Mu Liang walking out of it. When they met, they were stunned for a moment before they couldn't help but smile.

After not seeing each other for a long time, both of them had thousands of words in their hearts but they didn't know what to say. They just looked at each other for a long time, with only endless tenderness and hidden affection in their eyes.

"Did you have a smooth journey? Nothing happened? Why did you come back so late?" After returning to the attic of Qingyun Garden, Li Yunye pulled Mu Liang in front of him and looked him up and down. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

After learning that Mu Liang had returned, Ange ordered the servants to light the stove in the attic in advance, and when they returned to the room, it was already warm.

"Don't worry, everything went well. I just heard halfway through that there was a local doctor with great medical skills, but unfortunately the doctor was away on a trip to treat patients. And I heard from the local villagers that there is no fixed time for the doctor to be away, it may take several days at the shortest, and one or two months at the longest. After staying for a few days and still not seeing the doctor, I was afraid of delaying my adoptive father's death anniversary, so I came back first and asked Lao Zhou to wait there." Mu Liang then raised his hand to take off Li Yunye's fur coat and replied with a warm smile.

Li Yunye had long been accustomed to his brother's care for him, and even though the two had been separated for several months, they did not feel estranged from each other.

"It's no use finding a doctor. There's still no news about Xuanyu and the others. I think we should let Old Zhou come back first during the New Year." After taking off his fur coat, Li Yunye stretched himself, then turned around and sat on the couch in front of the window. He poured two cups of hot tea, shook his head and sighed.

"In that case, let An Yun go and call Old Zhou back tomorrow." Mu Liang also sat down in front of Li Yunye. Looking at the hot tea handed over by his brother, he continued thoughtfully, "It's been such a long time and Miss Xuanyu hasn't come. Maybe they have found a good doctor."

"I guess so. Sister Honghua and Mr. Zeng are so powerful. If they hadn't found a powerful doctor, they would have come to Qile City long ago. So we don't have to worry." Li Yunye also nodded and agreed.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. How come you've lost weight again? Are you tired from taking care of the accounts recently?" Mu Liang took a sip of hot tea and looked up at his brother's handsome and fair face. His eye sockets were slightly sunken, and he looked tired and thin. He felt distressed.

"Are all the shops in various places safe?" Li Yunye lowered his eyes guiltily, ignored his words, and turned his attention to the shops everywhere.

If it weren't for his concern for his sworn brother who was away, Li Yunye wouldn't have slept restlessly all night, lost his appetite, and become increasingly thin. But he no longer dared to speak out about his concern and longing, perhaps because he loved deeply and became more cautious.

"With the previous example of Manager Yang, the managers and supervisors everywhere will no longer dare to have any other thoughts. Your prestige as the boss has finally been thoroughly established." Seeing that his brother-in-law did not respond to his concern, Mu Liang just thought that his brother-in-law tacitly agreed, so he replied with a smile helplessly.

"The affairs of Yujiang City are all thanks to your efforts. It is all thanks to you that I have been able to maintain my reputation as the boss." Although Li Yunye was afraid of taking responsibility, he never took credit for himself. He was realistic and believed that all the affairs of Manager Yang were the credit of Brother Muliang, and he was just reaping the benefits.

"My power in Jiangnan Mingli far exceeds the title of shopkeeper, all because of you. If you, the boss, hadn't been sitting firmly behind me, how could I have the ability to turn the tide?" Mu Liang smiled modestly, then took out two silver notes from his sleeve, handed them to Li Yunye, and continued: "The extra three thousand taels you gave me in the beginning made up for five hundred taels in Yujiang City, and also prepared some New Year's goods for the shopkeepers and clerks of cloth shops in various places, so there were two thousand taels left in the end."

"Since it's for you, you can keep it for yourself." Li Yunye was naturally happy to see his sworn brother handing over the remaining money on his own initiative, but he did not accept it. Instead, he handed the two silver notes back to Mu Liang.

It's not that he is no longer a money slave just because he is in charge of the family. It's just that in Li Yunye's heart, Mu Liang's status has long been incomparable to money. What's more, he has made so many contributions to the famous Li in Jiangnan this time, and the two thousand taels are what he deserves.

"Then I'll accept it?" Mu Liang was a little uncomfortable seeing his brother-in-law, who had always been a money-grubber, suddenly become so generous. He put away the banknote and tried.

Li Yunye glared at him disapprovingly, then just smiled and drank the warm tea in front of him without saying anything.

"Oh, it's different when you're the head of a family. You're quite wealthy." Seeing that his sworn brother really didn't care about the two thousand taels of silver, Mu Liang deliberately sighed.

"I gave you two thousand taels and you're still talking nonsense?" Li Yunye immediately pretended to be dissatisfied and said angrily.

"Of course I wouldn't." Mu Liang immediately admitted his mistake and apologized with a smile.

"In three days it will be my father's death anniversary. My mother's health has begun to deteriorate recently. We should just go to the memorial ceremony at the farm and let my mother recuperate at home." Li Yunye suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously.

"Well, I just met my stepmother. She looked haggard. I guess it's because my stepfather's death anniversary is approaching and she is missing him again." Mu Liang then looked out the window with a serious face as dusk approached and sighed.

Li Yunye did not say anything else. He turned his head to look at the snow scene outside the window and could not help feeling sad. Unconsciously, it had been a year since his father and Uncle Fang left. However, when he thought of their tragic deaths in the snow, his heart still felt like it was being cut by a knife.
