A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 197 It’s better not to meet

After delivering the letter to Fengqifang, Lao Zhou came back dejected.

"What's wrong? Hongqing doesn't want to come?" Mu Liang asked worriedly when he saw Lao Zhou's expression.

"Miss Hongqing said that there is no Qingqing that Manager Mu is looking for in this world. There is only Miss Hongqing of Fengqifang. I hope Manager Mu will look forward in the future. If you just want to reminisce about the past, she has almost forgotten what happened twenty years ago and there is nothing to talk about. If you appreciate Hongqing, please send a letter to Fengqifang again." Old Zhou nodded, finished his words in a muffled voice, and glanced at Mu Liang with concern.

"What does Hong Qing mean by this? She definitely doesn't want to recognize brother Mu Liang?" Mu Liang said nothing, but his expression darkened. However, Li Yunye was very dissatisfied with Hong Qing's twisted attitude.

Brother Muliang had already taken the initiative to recognize her, but she was being so pretentious and refused? Since she had been thinking about him for twenty years, why didn't she even have the courage to recognize him today? What do you mean by love is born out of timidity? It is clear that Hongqing was just pretending to be affectionate because she was self-abased and self-pitying.

"In fact, Miss Hongqing is also feeling very miserable..."

"She is suffering? Isn't brother Mu Liang suffering too? Her experience was not caused by brother Mu Liang alone. Why should brother Mu Liang bear the guilt for so many years?" Li Yunye became even more angry when he saw that Lao Zhou still wanted to speak for Hong Qing, and he started questioning Lao Zhou.

"Mr. Li, if you are angry, please don't take it out on me, Old Zhou." Looking at Li Yunye's angry face, Old Zhou felt flustered. He smiled apologetically and quickly walked away. He was also annoyed that he had said too much. He was just an errand boy and there was no need for him to be involved in the unnecessary disaster in their love life.

Li Yunye snorted angrily and then realized that his brother Mu Liang was gone. An Yun beside him pointed inside the house, so he hurried back into the house.

"Hey, has your son always been so concerned about Shopkeeper Mu since he was young?" After Li Yunye left, Old Zhou mustered up the courage to come up to An Yun and asked curiously.

"The young master has no other brothers or sisters, and it is Young Master Mu Liang who has been with him since he was a child. Now that he has grown up, what's wrong with him caring about Young Master Mu Liang?" An Yun glanced at Old Zhou and asked back with some confusion.

Since Master Muliang came to Liangdu to manage the shop, Master and Master Muliang have rarely met in the past five years, so the two are no longer as close as they were when they were young. But now that Master has returned to Master Muliang, he is obviously much more cheerful. It is reasonable for the two brothers to get along as well as before. Is Old Zhou making a fuss?

"Of course, of course." Seeing that An Yun was young and didn't understand, Old Zhou didn't say anything more. He smiled and went out alone.

"Why are you running outside again? The young master has to go back to the Zhuo Mansion today." An Yun spoke hurriedly when he saw Lao Zhou was about to go out.

"Sir, you're not leaving right away. I'll be back soon." After saying this, Lao Zhou disappeared out the door in a flash.

"Brother Muliang, what are you going to do?"

As soon as Li Yunye entered Mu Liang's room, he saw Mu Liang rummaging through the drawers. He hurried forward and glanced at the house deeds and banknotes on the table. His eyes lit up instantly, but soon dimmed. These were not for him, so why was he so excited?

"Since Hongqing doesn't want to have anything to do with the past anymore, I won't force her. But these were prepared for her in the first place. Even if she refuses to recognize me, I will return them to her." Mu Liang looked out the window with a sad expression and sighed softly.

Although he had been acting calm, Hong Qing's words actually hurt him. He mustered up the courage to recognize her not to force her to recall the tragic and difficult past, but just to let her know that she was not alone in this world, and that her trusted brother Liang was still there. But now that Hong Qing didn't want to recognize him, he respected her decision and only hoped that she could live well.

"I'll pay it back for you." After Mu Liang finished speaking, Li Yunye hurriedly put the house deed and banknotes on the table into the wooden box next to him. Although he had just said those words in anger, now that he had calmed down, he was glad that Hong Qing had given up the idea of ​​getting entangled with Brother Mu Liang.

"Okay." Mu Liang nodded and smiled gratefully at Li Yunye, but his eyes were filled with fatigue and bitterness.

Li Yunye felt distressed when he saw this, and also felt sorry for the guilt that Brother Mu Liang had felt for the past twenty years, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Brother Mu Liang at this moment.

"Where is Old Zhou?" When Li Yunye came to the courtyard with the wooden box, he saw An Yun working alone by the well, so he asked hurriedly.

"The young master knows that he can't sit still, so naturally he went out for a walk." Seeing the young master holding a wooden box and preparing to go out, An Yun hurriedly put down the work in his hands and stood up to reply.

"Come with me to Fengqifang."

"What are you going to do at Fengqifang?"

When An Yun heard this, he walked forward and asked curiously.

"After spending so much time with Lao Zhou, you become more talkative."

An Yun immediately shut up and followed Li Yunye out in silence.

At the same time, Hong Qing in Fengqifang read the letter written by Mu Liang over and over again, and her tears had already wet the letter paper. When she received the letter from Lao Zhou, she was ecstatic, Brother Liang finally came to see her, but the reality was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the joy in her heart.

My sister Qingqing....

This was how Brother Liang addressed her in the letter. It turned out that in his heart, he had always only considered her his sister. Yes, how could she have such an unreasonable thought? Not to mention that Brother Liang had no romantic feelings for her, even if he did, her broken body was no longer worthy of Brother Liang. Rather than suppressing her pain every day to see him and pretending to smile and call him brother and sister, it would be better not to see him.

"Miss, Master Li is here." Dafeng reported with her head down at the door.

After being scolded twice by the girl and her mother yesterday, Dafeng became cautious and dared not say much.

When she heard "Mr. Li", Hong Qing naturally knew why he came. She also learned from Lao Zhou that Brother Liang is now the shopkeeper of the famous Li's Mu in Jiangnan, and is also the adopted son of the Li family and the sworn brother of Li Yunye.

Fate really plays tricks on people. Brother Liang is the shopkeeper of Jiangnan Mingli in the capital, and Fengqifang has been a long-time customer of Jiangnan Mingli. However, she had been completely unaware of this for five years. She also blamed herself for being so focused on studying dance that she never paid attention to anything in the outside world.

She may not want to see Brother Liang, but Young Master Li is not only her savior, but also the son of a famous Jiangnan family named Li. He is also the nephew of Censor Zhuo. Mother Yun does not want her to offend Young Master Li.

Hong Qing wiped her tears, put the letter in her hand back into the box, and nodded to Dafeng.
