A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 278 It has nothing to do with you

"The new cloth we bought last time sold well everywhere. Even Yujiang City has gradually recovered in the past two months."

In the study of the Li Mansion, Li Yunye looked at the account book in his hand and let out a long sigh, then smiled at Mu Liang and Manager Yuan in front of him.

"Yes, Manager Yang also said in the pigeon letter this time that this batch of new cloth from our Jiangnan Mingli is extremely popular with new and old customers. Although Shuiliu Cloth Shop has also launched several new materials, the response is mediocre, far inferior to Jiangnan Mingli." Manager Yuan also said happily, and then handed the letter from Manager Yang to Li Yunye.

"Plus, the reputation of Jiangnan's famous Li has been growing day by day because of Ma Ming's incident..." Li Yunye took the credo and glanced at it quickly before nodding his head in relief. As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair and continued to sigh comfortably, "Everything is finally settled."

"We can't let our guard down just because things are calm for a while. Don't forget that the boss behind the Shuiliu Cloth Shop is most likely the Shen family from Yaocheng. The government hasn't found any clues about the Shen family for so long, which shows that the Shen family is not a pushover. We can't let our guard down."

Mu Liang suddenly poured a basin of cold water on the two people, who were immersed in joy, and their smiles froze.

"Now that the Shen family's every move is under government surveillance, it shouldn't be so easy for them to continue causing trouble, right?" Li Yunye raised his hand and rubbed his temple in annoyance, asking with a pout.

"But the famous Li in Jiangnan cannot let down his guard at this time." Mu Liang turned to Shopkeeper Yuan and said, "Please ask Shopkeeper Yuan to pass a message to Shopkeeper Yang, asking him to be careful to prevent the Shuiliu Cloth Shop from using shameful means in private."

"Okay, I'll go back and pass on the message." Shopkeeper Yuan also felt that what Shopkeeper Mu said made sense. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. So after responding, he hurriedly said goodbye to the young master and turned to leave.

Just as Manager Yuan left, An Ge, who had originally gone to the farm to pick up Madam Li, returned to the Li Mansion alone. After asking the servant about the whereabouts of the young master, he quickly walked towards the study in Lu Tang.

"You're here so soon? Why didn't you send someone to inform us in advance? Was the journey smooth? Did Madam return to Plum Garden?" Li Yunye and Mu Liang stood up happily when they saw An Ge, thinking that Madam Li had also returned with them. Li Yunye asked hurriedly.

"My two lords, Madam didn't come back today. She said she wanted to stay in the countryside for a while longer and come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ange bowed respectfully and replied.

Li Yunye and Mu Liang didn't say anything when they heard this. It was good that their mother was willing to stay longer. The open space in the countryside was indeed much more comfortable than living in this large mansion.

"You're tired from running back and forth..." Li Yunye smiled at An Ge, but before he finished speaking, he could vaguely hear a sudden fight outside. At the same time, An Yun also ran in in a hurry:

"Master, Master Zeng is here, but Old Zhou is fighting with the people Master Zeng brought with him."

Li Yunye and Mu Liang were shocked when they heard this. They naturally knew that the Mr. Zeng that An Yun mentioned was Zeng Si, the savior of the Li family. But Old Zhou was not an unreasonable person. Why did he start a fight with the Li family's guest for no reason?

Without saying much, the three of them hurriedly followed An Yun through Lutang and into Liangyuan next door, which had been renovated but had been vacant. Seeing the man fighting with Lao Zhou, Li Yunye couldn't help but shivered and quickly retreated behind Mu Liang.

Mu Liang naturally noticed his brother's abnormality. He looked curiously at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was wearing Miao clothing and a red veil on her face. Although her kung fu was strange and irregular, she could not withstand Lao Zhou's domineering fist and soon fell into a disadvantage and had to dodge everywhere.

"Where is Mr. Zeng?" Li Yunye, who was hiding behind Mu Liang, was worried that the courtyard that had been renovated with great difficulty would be destroyed by these two people, so he hurriedly asked An Yun.

"It was here just now, but I don't know where it is now?" An Yun scratched his head, looking around.

"I'll go look for her." Ange said to the young master and turned away. He saw that there was no sign of Young Master Zeng in the yard. He thought that Hongnu also knew Young Master Zeng, and wondered if he had gone to look for Hongnu?

"Hey, you vicious woman, you poison others when you can't beat them. You are far less open-minded than your sister!" At this moment, Lao Zhou suddenly shouted, instantly moved away from the woman, and cursed angrily.

It turned out that the woman saw that she couldn't dodge in time, so she turned around and sprinkled a handful of poison powder at Lao Zhou. Fortunately, Lao Zhou reacted quickly and dodged.

"She is Yanyu's sister, Honghua?" After hearing what Lao Zhou said, Mu Liangcai belatedly asked his brother behind him.

"Well, Brother Mu Liang, you have to be careful. She is moody and full of poison. She is very scary." Li Yunye nodded and whispered in Mu Liang's ear.

"Oh, you used to call me Sister Honghua, but now you've turned your face against me after not seeing me for more than a year?" Honghua was relieved to see that Lao Zhou didn't dare to approach her again. She ignored the scolding of the sloppy and smelly man, and turned her head to look at Li Yunye who was hiding behind someone and smiled charmingly. But in the next moment, she suddenly put her hands on her hips, frowned and said fiercely: "Li Yunye, come out here!"

"Sister Honghua, why are you here suddenly?" Li Yunye was startled, but still stood behind Mu Liang and smiled timidly.

"You little brat, you are the master of the Li family now after all. Why didn't you come out to greet this guest and instead let your dog bite him?" Honghua still looked fierce and sneered sarcastically.

"Hey, who are you calling a dog?" Old Zhou was even more furious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to get close to this vicious woman. He could only stand there and stare.

"Whoever is barking is a dog." Honghua raised his cold eyes and challenged Lao Zhou.

"Hey, you vicious woman..."

"Old Zhou!"

Old Zhou was so angry that he picked up a broom and was about to throw it at the other party, but Mu Liang stopped him.

"So it's Senior Honghua. I've heard you mention Senior Honghua before..." Mu Liang smiled and took two steps forward to salute Honghua, but was interrupted by the other party angrily in the middle of his words:

"What do you mean by Senior Honghua? Am I that old? How dare you call me Senior when you have a beard?"

Mu Liang stood there awkwardly, while Li Yunye, who was protected by An Yun, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hmph, you uneducated vicious woman. It's because Manager Mu respects you, but a vicious and cruel person like you does not deserve such a title." Without waiting for Mu Liang to explain, Lao Zhou sneered and mocked Hong Hua.

"What? Is this how you, the Li family, treat guests?" Honghua was very angry with Lao Zhou at this time, and she still glared at Li Yunye with her hands on her hips.

"What a joke! This is the first time I, Old Zhou, have seen a guest climb over the wall to get in. The guest is disrespectful to the host and yet he has the nerve to criticize the host's hospitality?" Old Zhou continued to fold his arms across his chest and sneered.

"You..." Honghua, who has always been eloquent, was choked by other people's words for the first time. She was so angry that a terrifying murderous intent unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, you vicious woman are really useless. You want to kill people just after a few quarrels?" Seeing the murderous look in the other party's eyes, Lao Zhou ran to Li Yunye in fear. A good man does not fight with a woman, let alone a woman who is good at poisoning.

"Can't you say less?" Seeing Honghua was so angry at Lao Zhou, Li Yunye turned his head and glanced at Lao Zhou who was still talking nonsense.

Although Old Zhou was able to vent his anger today for what he did last year, Honghua was after all Yanyu's sister and a master of poison, and Li Yunye did not want to offend her completely.

"Old Zhou, go and see if Ange has found Master Zeng." Mu Liang had also returned to his normal composure and smiled at Old Zhou.

Old Zhou was eager to get away, so when Mu Liang spoke, he naturally turned around and ran away.

"This young man is really caring." The sloppy and smelly man was sent away, and Honghua turned a blind eye to him. Only then did her anger disappear for the most part. She then put on a charming smile and came up to Mu Liang.

"My name is Mu Liang, Yun Ye's sworn brother. There was a misunderstanding just now. Old Zhou has always been outspoken. Mu Liang will apologize to the madam on his behalf." Mu Liang was still frank and calm. He bowed and smiled to Honghua.

"Mr. Mu Liang's words are so refreshing." Hong Hua looked at Mu Liang, who was so impressive and serious, and couldn't help wanting to tease him. However, she was stopped by Li Yunye just as she was about to do so:

"Sister Honghua came to visit suddenly. I wonder what's the matter?" Li Yunye asked with a fake smile.

"Of course I'm here to look for my sister." Honghua rolled her eyes in frustration when her playful mood was interrupted by Li Yunye. She had no choice but to focus and get back to business.

"Sister Honghua, I asked Hongnu, and Yanyu did come here ten days ago." At this time, Zeng Si suddenly appeared in the yard with Ange, and he still didn't look Li Yunye in the eye.

Li Yunye was naturally puzzled by Zeng Si's hostility towards him in the past, but now that he realized Xuanyu's feelings for him, he understood it, but he did not take it to heart. After all, he had felt such jealousy towards Hong Qing before.

"What's wrong with Xuanyu?" After hearing Zeng Si's words, Li Yunye hurriedly asked Xiang Honghua.

"It seems that we have no choice but to go back to that place and look for it first." Honghua ignored Li Yunye and spoke to Zeng Si with cold eyes as if no one else was around.

"Where are you going?" Seeing the two people turning around to leave, Li Yunye asked curiously again.

"It has nothing to do with you." Honghua turned around and glanced at Li Yunye with contempt.

Li Yunye was speechless. Even though he cared about Yan Yu, he had to shut up.

Everyone in the Li family looked at Honghua and Zeng Si in confusion as they hurriedly jumped over the wall and left.
