A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 511: Love that cannot be expressed in words

Li Yun stayed in Liangyuan at night until his brother-in-law took the medicine and fell asleep, then he went to Meiyuan to have lunch with Madam Li.

"How should I start?" Just as he arrived outside the plum garden, Li Yunye suddenly stopped and started to worry about himself.

"Sir, why don't you apologize to the lady first." An Ge, who followed closely behind, heard the young master's mumbling and stepped forward to persuade him. He had just learned from An Yun what happened in the Plum Garden last night. No one knew why the mother and son were unhappy. An Ge did not dare to speculate and could only persuade the young master like this.

Li Yunye sighed lightly and then nodded. It was meaningless to find out who was right or wrong about what happened last night. Since his mother had given in today, he, as a son, should not be so fussy about it anymore.

At noon, the spring sun shone through the thick clouds and the earth warmed up. Madam Li wandered absentmindedly in the garden waiting for her son's arrival. Sister Lan was comforting herself when she saw Li Yunye's handsome figure. She immediately went forward, pulled him and turned to Madam Li and said with a smile:

"Look, I was just talking about the young master, and now he's here, isn't he?"

"Mother, what I did last night was wrong. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I've come here specially to apologize to you!" Li Yunye allowed Sister Lan to pull him in front of Mrs. Li, then bowed and apologized sincerely.

"Why bring up the past? There is no overnight grudge between mother and son. Come in quickly!" Seeing her son take the initiative to admit his mistake to her, Mrs. Li was relieved but also felt a little guilty. However, she quickly suppressed it and happily pulled her son into the house.

The servants heaved a sigh of relief to see that the mother and son were back to normal. The Plum Garden became lively with laughter and conversation again. Ange took advantage of the time when everyone was busy to secretly call Hong Nu out of the Plum Garden.

"Did you stay at the farm last night?" Hong Nu followed An Ge to the quiet lakeside. Seeing that there was no one around, she began to care about him.

"I was busy too late yesterday and it rained, so I couldn't get back home, so I stayed at the farm." An Ge said to her softly, then took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to her, continuing, "Mr. Zhou also came back last night, and he brought a letter from Miss Yanyu to you."

When Hong Nu heard that it was a letter from the girl, she couldn't wait to open it. As soon as she read it, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She couldn't even remember how many times she had seen the girl in her dreams. Today, she finally got the news.

After reading the letter and learning that the girl was in good health and the antidote for the flower bite poison had been found, Hong Nu cried even harder with joy.

"Miss Xuanyu is fine now. She has Mr. Zeng and Madam Honghua taking care of her. You don't have to worry anymore." Seeing this, Ange hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears while advising her with concern.

Hong Nu snatched the handkerchief from An Ge's hand and pouted her lips to wipe her tears, but she couldn't help crying and laughing, saying, "I'm happy for the girl. She has suffered so much, and now she has finally gotten her happiness."

Ange didn't say anything else, but just stood there silently, staring at her and smiling, his eyes full of tenderness like a pool of spring water.

After having lunch in the Plum Garden, Li Yunye went to the study room under the pretext of an excuse. In fact, he only sat in the study room for a while and finally couldn't help but go to Liangyuan. He tiptoed into the inner room and saw that Mu Liang was still asleep, so he sat quietly by the window and watched. Li Yunye leaned on the table and supported his head with one hand to carefully observe his brother's sleeping face. He found that Mu Liang had also lost a lot of weight. Thinking of what his mother said last night, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Mu Liang.

"Cough cough..."

Li Yunye fell into a trance and fell asleep unknowingly until a light cough sounded in the room in a very suppressed manner, but it still woke him up.

"Did I disturb you?" Seeing his brother waking up, Mu Liang, who was sitting on the bed, smiled with a bit of self-blame. His face was a little red because he had just suppressed a cough.

Li Yunye was about to get up in a daze, but he saw that Brother Mu Liang's fur coat had covered him without him noticing. He felt warm inside and quickly poured a cup of hot tea to Mu Liang, asking with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Mu Liang took the hot tea and responded in a gentle voice.

"Shall I ask Ah Qun to bring some porridge?"

"Don't call him, I still can't eat." Mu Liang shook his head and smiled.

Li Yunye hurriedly raised his hand to touch Mu Liang's forehead, but he didn't feel feverish, so he sighed and continued to mutter: "Why did he catch a cold out of nowhere?"

"I heard from Ah Qun that you had an unpleasant argument with your stepmother last night?" Mu Liang just smiled and said nothing in response to his brother's mumbling. He was silent for a moment before asking.

"What's unpleasant about that? They are spreading rumors again! My mother and I just had a few arguments. Aren't we all fine today?" Seeing that his sworn brother also knew about what happened last night, Li Yunye secretly complained to Aqun for being too nosy and then hurriedly explained helplessly.

However, the more Li Yunye wanted to appear relaxed in front of his brother, the more guilty he felt. There was indeed no unpleasantness between him and his mother, but his mother's slanderous words last night against his brother Mu Liang made him feel a little guilty.

"What are you arguing about?" His brother-in-law's eyes were obviously avoiding Mu Liang, and he saw it all. He had never seen his brother-in-law and his stepmother blushing over anything, so he felt a little uneasy.

"It's nothing... Oh, it's over, why bring it up again? Anyway, my mother and I are fine, so you don't have to worry!" Li Yunye said impatiently, and then took the initiative and asked, "I heard that Lao Zhou is back?"

Although Lao Zhou made up an excuse on his own, Li Yunye was indeed curious about Lao Zhou's trip to the desert, and wanted to know how he and Madam Honghua found the desert mulberry flowers in the desert.

"Well, he has changed a lot after coming back this time." Seeing that his brother was unwilling to talk more about what happened last night, Mu Liang had to give up and followed the other party's words to talk about Lao Zhou.

"Changed? What has changed?" Li Yunye became interested as soon as he heard it.

"You may not believe it, but he actually gave up drinking."

"The sun doesn't even rise from the west, so why did he stop drinking? Did his personality change drastically after going to the desert?"

Mu Liang's words shocked Li Yunye so much that he was stunned for a long time before he reacted and then continued to ask.

"I don't think it's because of going to the desert, but because of the people who stayed with him on the long journey." Mu Liang smiled. Although Lao Zhou didn't say it explicitly, anyone could guess it from his radiant face.

"You mean Old Zhou and Madam Honghua...the two of them...but weren't they always at loggerheads when they were here?" Li Yunye was shocked again. After all, in his impression, these two people were simply enemies who were incompatible with each other. Even their words were full of gunpowder. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if they were a couple?

"It is not impossible that two enemies will fall in love after spending months together on the road and facing hardships together."

After listening to Mu Liang's words, Li Yunye remained silent and just stared at his sworn brother in front of him, his affectionate eyes carrying a hint of melancholy.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his brother staring at him intently, Mu Liang collected his thoughts and felt inexplicably flustered. He lowered his eyes and coughed twice before asking again.

Jiang Siyao regained her senses and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Then she stood up and walked out of the room with a lost look on her face.

Didn't she also fall in love with Brother Mu Liang over time? But she couldn't express her love.

Seeing his brother leave without saying a word, Mu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but the pain in his heart also rippled.
