A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 176 If you don’t want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself.

Ever since he was forced to listen to a live sex show by the perverted prince Gong Liangming in Fengqifang, Liu Jiangxi has ignored Li Yunye again and has not left the Liu Mansion for several days. Li Yunye did shamelessly send a letter to Liu Jiangxi, but he did not expect that Liu Jiangxi would directly reply with a capital "Get lost".

Seeing that Liu Jiangxi had directly blamed him for this, Li Yunye felt very aggrieved. He had not invited the perverted prince to Fengqifang, and he had not known that Hongqing had an affair with the perverted prince. However, even though he felt aggrieved, he was also glad that Gong Liangming had let them go after having sex with Hongqing that night and did not make things difficult for them.

He also guessed that Gong Liangming must be concerned about his cousin, but what surprised him was that the prince had kept it a secret for them when he took Liu Jiangxi to the brothel. He thought that he would be scolded by his aunt and uncle when he returned to Zhuo's house, but he didn't expect that everything was calm, and even the sound of Master Liu getting angry was not heard from the Liu's house next door.

When Mu Liang saw his brother coming back with a red face that night, he locked himself in the room and thought that he was molested by a girl in Fengqifang. But then he thought, his brother Yunye was an old hand in this regard. Although he has turned over a new leaf now, he shouldn't be so naive, right?

Later, he learned from Lao Zhou that his brother was punished by the prince, which shocked him. After listening to An Yun's detailed account, Mu Liang suddenly felt cold in his heart. The prince would not punish his brother for no reason. There must be some dispute between them. Thinking about it carefully, it is very likely that brother Yunye was bullied by the prince at the palace banquet that day. There have been rumors among the people that the prince is also fond of men in private. No wonder, no wonder his brother, who always complained to him when he was wronged, said nothing that day. And this time, he was humiliated by the prince rather than punished, and he still kept it secret from him.

Mu Liang was angry and distressed at his brother's understanding. The crown prince was powerful and could decide life and death. How could a mere Li from Jiangnan dare to offend him? Yun Ye swallowed his grievances because he was afraid that he would worry and be sad.

It was no wonder that Censor Zhuo came in person the same night when Yunye was brought back to the courtyard. He must have known about this matter. Yunye was safer under the protection of the Zhuo family. Now the prince could easily let Yunye go, probably because he was concerned about Censor Zhuo.

Since then, Mu Liang has asked An Yun and Lao Zhou to watch out for his brother and not let him enter Fengqifang again. Later, Hong Qing sent another invitation to apologize to Li Yunye, but was directly and tactfully rejected by Mu Liang. Although the prince was too much, Hong Qing was innocent, but the prince was her guest after all, and he couldn't let his brother take risks in Fengqifang again.

In Fengqifang, because the invitation she sent out was returned by Master Li, Hong Qing felt lost. She finally found a friend who understood her dance, but lost him because of the prince. She did not blame Master Li, and she dared not blame the high and mighty prince. She could only attribute all this to her own miserable fate. Her parents, her brother, her brother Liang, and now Master Li, all the people who could make her happy, left her one by one in the end. It seemed that she was destined to be a lonely ghost after all.

"Oh my, my ancestors, how can you get drunk in broad daylight?" The fat maid Dafeng smelled a strong odor of alcohol as she entered the room. Seeing her own girl leaning against the window drinking again, she hurried forward and snatched the bottle of wine.

"Dafeng, I only have you, and you are the only one who has always been by my side, but..." Hong Qing held Dafeng's hand and shed tears sadly, but Dafeng was just a maid arranged by Mother Yun to be by her side. She didn't understand her and was unwilling to listen to her voice. She stayed by her side and served her just to complete the task assigned by her mother.

"Girl, don't cry. Your mother will be heartbroken when she sees you later." Dafeng squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Hongqing's face. She then comforted her, "Girl, you have been in Fengqifang for so many years and it's time to accept your fate. Compared with other girls, you are already a precious lady in Fengqifang. Your mother loves you like her own daughter. She provides you with delicacies from land and sea every day and never forces you to receive guests casually. Your guests are either very rich or talented. The girls downstairs are all envious of you!"

After hearing what Dafeng said, Hongqing's heart suddenly turned cold. She let go of the other person's hand expressionlessly, stood up and walked towards the big bed behind the screen.

Yes, how could she expect a maid who had long been numb in Fengqifang to understand herself? She had already accepted her fate. What could she change if she didn't accept her fate? But her heart was still alive!

Seeing that his girl no longer paid attention to him, Dafeng realized that he had said something wrong again and made the girl unhappy, so he had to take the wine jug and quietly leave.

"Oh, Miss Caiyi, why didn't you say a word when you came? You scared me." As Dafeng just came out of the room, she was frightened by a sneaky figure outside the door. Seeing that the person was Caiyi, she patted her chest and said angrily.

"I'm looking for your girl, is she here?" Caiyi's voice was as sweet and melodious as a yellow warbler, but it didn't match her ordinary face at all.

Seeing that someone came to chat with the girl and relieve her boredom, Dafeng happily went to the inner room to report to Hongqing. Hongqing had calmed down and when she heard that it was Caiyi, she stood up to receive her although she was not very happy.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Hong Qing handed a cup of tea to Caiyi and asked coldly.

"Hong Qing, you and I have been working together for many years, and you have always danced in front of people while I sang behind them. Why do you want to exclude me from this new dance?" Caiyi looked timid and smiled with her head down.

"Didn't I tell mom when we were rehearsing? This dance is not suitable for singing. What? Didn't mom tell you? Why are you asking me now after such a long time?" Hong Qing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat disgusted with the other person's hypocritical face.

"Then why don't you choreograph a dance suitable for singing? How can I perform with you like this? Mom has always disliked me for not being as good as you, and now even you are bullying me..." Caiyi didn't expect that she would burst into tears.

"Bah, don't act like you're aggrieved in front of me. I bullied you? If I had bullied you, you'd probably be lying in a mass grave outside the city now!" Seeing Caiyi crying, Hong Qing angrily yelled at her and cursed.

"You...what did you say?" Caiyi seemed a little guilty, her face immediately turned pale, and she looked at Hongqing nervously.

"Don't pretend. You know what you did. I was soft-hearted and kept it a secret for you in front of mom. But you are so good that you are blaming me? I bullied you? You almost killed me, and I protected you. You are so ungrateful!" Hong Qing pointed at Cai Yi's nose with angry eyes and continued to scold her. Her beautiful face turned red because of anger. She was already upset today and drank some wine. The woman came to scold her, so she was merciless.

"You...you know everything?" Caiyi's lips trembled with nervousness.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Do you think everyone is a fool?" Hong Qing sneered, and then said coldly: "By the way, the two robbers you colluded with were beaten half to death and taken to the government office. They were sentenced to exile thousands of miles away by the government office. As for whether they are still alive now, I don't know."

"You...you really deserve to be the one who can hook up the prince." After hearing Hong Qing's words, Caiyi was frightened. She thought that it was the prince who severely punished the two robbers for Hong Qing, and she felt a sense of fear in her heart. Prince, how many lives does she have if she dares to offend the prince?

Hong Qing saw that she had misunderstood and was too lazy to explain. Instead, she thought that if she scared her with the prince's name, she would be obedient in the future.
