A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 334 Li Yun Ye Sends Bi Er Away

After traveling for most of the day, the carriage left An County. The driver tightened the reins to slow down the black horse and slowly stopped at an intersection.

Yu Cheng and Xiao Lu had also gotten off the carriage tactfully. They were speechless for a moment. Yan Zong looked at Si Yao reluctantly, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Take care, Prince." After a moment of silence, Si Yao saw that Yan Zong had not spoken yet, so she took the lead to salute him. After saying that, she was about to pick up the bag beside her and get off the car, but he grabbed her:

"Shall I give you another ride?"

"Doesn't the prince always keep his promises?"

Si Yao's cold question choked Yan Zong, and seeing that she was so cold to him even at the time of parting, he was disheartened and had to let go of her hand and watched her get off the carriage.

"Take care on your journey, Miss Si Yao." Seeing Si Yao coming out, Yu Cheng also walked up to her and bowed to say goodbye.

"Well, you guys should be careful too." Si Yao also returned the greeting to Yu Cheng and said lightly.

"Si Yao!"

After saying goodbye to Yu Cheng and others, Si Yao and Xiao Lu turned around and headed towards the south of the Yangtze River. However, after they had walked a few steps, Yan Zong's urgent voice suddenly sounded behind them. She immediately stopped and couldn't help but looked back, but was unexpectedly embraced in a warm embrace.

Si Yao's mind went blank for a moment, and a complex expression flashed across her wide eyes. She could feel her heart suddenly stop for a moment. This embrace made her both attached and uneasy. Reason told her to push him away quickly, but the emotions hidden in her heart had already surged restlessly, making her reluctant to push him away. She was at a loss as to what to do with her raised hands, and finally slowly dropped them.

While the two were hugging each other, Yu Cheng, Xiao Lu and others consciously turned their backs and stepped back a few steps. Seeing that His Highness was becoming more and more understanding in front of Miss Si Yao, Yu Cheng felt really relieved.

"I'm sorry Si Yao, I shouldn't have been angry with you in the early morning. Every moment with you shouldn't have been wasted like this." Yan Zong hugged her gently and carefully, smelling the faint herbal fragrance emanating from her black hair behind her head, and suddenly felt extremely at ease. However, time passed like a white horse, and suddenly, he was full of regrets. In just these three short hours, he was angry with her for a long time because of jealousy.

"It's getting late, Prince Zong has to rush back to Xiyue Kingdom, so don't delay any longer." After a long silence, Si Yao's disordered mood gradually calmed down, and the face leaning on Yan Zong's shoulder also returned to its usual cold face.

Si Yao's calm and indifferent voice also sobered Yan Zong up. He then reluctantly straightened up and separated from her. His handsome face was as gentle as water, and his thin lips slightly parted, but he didn't know what to say. He raised his eyes to look at the endless mountain road behind her, and then reminded her worriedly: "It's spring now, the weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting everywhere. Pay more attention to places with fast-flowing water."

"Yeah." Si Yao nodded, took a half step back and saluted him, and said again: "Prince Zong, take care of yourself too." After that, she turned around and left again.

Seeing this, Xiaolu also came before the prince, bowed hastily, and quickly chased after Si Yao.

"Your Highness, is it time for us to set off?" Yu Cheng stepped forward respectfully and said only after Si Yao and Xiao Lu had gone far away.

"Let's go." Still looking at Si Yao's looming figure, Yan Zong sighed lightly and turned around and got on the carriage without hesitation.

"Your Highness, are you going back to Shangjing?" Yu Cheng followed closely and continued.

"Well, my royal brother is still waiting for me." The majestic voice of the prince came from the carriage.

"Yes." Yu Cheng responded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that only when Miss Si Yao was around, His Highness would become gentle.

As night fell, candles were lit in the Liangyuan wing of the Li Mansion early in the morning. Since Mu Liang had just recovered from a serious illness and it was not suitable for him to go out on a cold night, Li Yunye asked An Yun to deliver dinner to Liangyuan. Just like before in the attic, the two of them sat on the warm couch in front of the window and drank tea after dinner.

"Brother Muliang, what do you think of that girl Bier?" Li Yunye suddenly looked at Mu Liang with curiosity and asked seriously.

"Why are you asking about her for no reason?" Mu Liang's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, but he still had a nonchalant smile on his face.

"Pretending again? Can't you see how she feels about you?" Li Yunye pouted and glanced at him, angrily saying.

Mu Liang said nothing, but sighed helplessly. He was still struggling over whether to tell his brother what happened in the hot spring pool today, but he heard his brother-in-law say something shocking:

"If you are satisfied with her, I can arrange for her to live in your garden first. After the three years of mourning for your father are over, you can take her into your room as a concubine."

This was of course not what Li Yunye really meant. Bi'er was restless, and he didn't plan to keep her in the house any longer. However, he was very dissatisfied with the stupid look of his brother Mu Liang in front of him, so he suddenly decided to test him with a joke.

"Do you really want me to take Bi'er as my concubine?" Mu Liang was not at all happy that his brother-in-law wanted to take a concubine for him. His heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and it was painful as if being pricked by a needle. Lost, sad, and bitterness all came up at once, and even the tone of his voice was obviously full of resentment.

"What do you mean by 'I hope'? I see that Bi'er is deeply in love with you. If you also like her, shouldn't I help you? Besides, she is the only girl that Aunt Xin loved when she was alive. Mother feels guilty about Aunt Xin, and this is all we can do to make up for it now." Mu Liang's lukewarm attitude made Li Yunye even more excited. He frowned and glared at him angrily, but he pretended to be generous and spoke eloquently.

"Today in the hot spring pool, Bier begged me to keep her in this yard." Mu Liang naturally realized from his brother's eyes that he was making fun of him that he was teasing him. His anger turned into joy immediately, but he still nodded as if nothing had happened.

"What? You actually asked her to go to the hot spring to see you?" As soon as these words came out, Li Yunye immediately stood up in anger, glaring at Mu Liang with resentful eyes.

"Ahem, I didn't. She came here by herself, but I quickly kicked her out." Li Yunye's understanding also scared Mu Liang, and he quickly looked up and explained.

"This Bi'er is really bold and presumptuous. She is so shameless just to get involved with you. She went into the hot spring pool today, and maybe tomorrow..." Li Yunye didn't dare to say the words out loud. He just glared at Mu Liang for no reason and sat down again.

"She has been a maid since she was a child and has been brought into the mansion. Now she is helpless and I'm afraid she wants to find a way out for herself." Mu Liang smiled and said when he saw his brother calm down.

After all, they all came from poor backgrounds. Although he hated Bi'er's behavior at the time, he understood it afterwards and told Ah Qun not to tell anyone.

"You are considerate of her. Why don't I keep her in Liangyuan tomorrow?" Li Yunye, who was already angry, saw Mu Liang still speaking for Bier, and he became angry again with a frown on his face.

"I dare not." Mu Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Yunye, who had wanted to send Bi'er away, heard that she coveted his brother Mu Liang to such an extent, so he naturally couldn't keep her. So after leaving Liangyuan that night, he called An Ge to the study and asked him to send Bi'er to the farm to guard the old house early the next morning, and wait until her father's mourning period was over before finding a family for her to marry.
