Chapter 131 Mu Liang was punished
Ever since Li Yunye was scolded by his cousin Zhuo Yanzheng for crying sadly in the Zhuo Mansion, he did not dare to go to the Zhuo Mansion for several days. Even when Mrs. Zhuo sent someone to deliver an invitation, he declined it with an excuse.
Early in the morning, the morning light shines into the courtyard. Although the house owned by Mu Liang is not big, it is elegant and quiet. Li Yunye, who is always used to getting up early, leans lazily under a tree and eats candied fruit after exercising and stretching. He seems to be thinking about something. Suddenly, two magpies fly from the tree and their chirping makes him very annoyed.
"An Yun, chase the birds away!"
"Yes, son."
Hearing the young master's order, An Yun on the side hurriedly picked up a long pole and moved closer to the branch. The two magpies that were originally entangled together immediately flew away when they saw this.
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes." Looking at the loving pair of magpies flying away, Li Yunye couldn't help but sigh sadly.
"It's a beautiful spring day outside, why is Mr. Li so sad? He hasn't even married his wife yet, and he's going to become a resentful husband?" The noisy noises in the yard woke up Old Zhou. He walked out of the house yawning and happened to hear Li Yunye's inexplicable words, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Get out!" Li Yunye rolled his eyes speechlessly and threw the half-eaten honey money in his hand at Lao Zhou.
Old Zhou smiled and dodged, then came to sit under the tree. Suddenly, he turned to look at Li Yunye in front of him with annoyance and asked, "Why didn't you go to Zhuo's house these days, young master?"
"Why, are you craving for alcohol again so early in the morning?" Li Yunye showed a cold smile on his fair and handsome face, then rolled his eyes at Old Zhou and snorted, "Don't think I don't know that you wish I could stay in Zhuo's house every day, so that you don't have to follow me around to protect you all the time, and you can take the opportunity to run out for a drink and have fun. Anyway, Zhuo's house is more heavily guarded than here, and I'm Madam Zhuo's nephew, so I'm sure I won't be in any danger, not to mention that An Yun is with us. Humph, when Brother Muliang is not around, you just slack off and play tricks all day long. Wait until Brother Muliang comes back and I won't sue you!"
Li Yunye was already in a bad mood these days, and Old Zhou liked to provoke him, so naturally he took out his anger on Old Zhou.
“Oh, you, a prominent young man, please don’t falsely accuse me…” But when he heard that Li Yunye was going to file a complaint, the good-tempered old Zhou immediately jumped up in excitement. He had been selling his body for three years, which made him feel depressed. Occasionally he borrowed some wine to relieve his boredom, but was still accused of being lazy and cheating. How could he not be annoyed?
"Is my Yun Ye really framing you?" But before Lao Zhou could vent his dissatisfaction, he was interrupted by a calm but unpleasant voice at the gate of the courtyard.
"Brother Mu Liang!" Li Yunye, who had been frightened by Lao Zhou and had been hiding behind An Yun, couldn't help but feel delighted when he heard Mu Liang's voice. When he turned around and saw his sworn brother slowly walking into the courtyard, he smiled even more brightly, ran forward, and threw himself directly into Mu Liang's arms.
Although Li Yunye looked frail, he was only half a head shorter than Mu Liang. Mu Liang almost lost his balance due to the impact of such gravity. Fortunately, Li Yunye supported his back in time, but this caused Mu Liang to groan in pain.
"Brother Mu Liang, what's wrong with you?" Li Yunye looked up and was surprised to see that Mu Liang's lips were pale and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, so he asked hurriedly and worriedly.
"Oh, the wound on Manager Mu's back must have opened again!" Without waiting for Mu Liang to react, the coachman behind him exclaimed in surprise.
"Injured? How come you're injured again?" Li Yunye was shocked when he heard that. He hurriedly looked at Mu Liang's back. The light blue cloth shirt was stained with blood.
Seeing that Master Mu Liang's face was getting paler, An Yun hurried forward to support him. Old Zhou, who was already angry under the tree, began to worry when he saw this.
"I'm fine." Mu Liang endured the pain and smiled at Li Yunye.
"Stop talking and go back to your room first." Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mu Liang was forcing a smile. Li Yunye hurriedly helped Mu Liang back to his room together with An Yun.
Later, the coachman told Li Yunye that Brother Mu Liang had gone back to Qile City to apologize. The master and his wife were furious when they learned that Brother Mu Liang had allowed him to leave Liangdu alone and go to Xiyue Kingdom. Master Li even used the family rules to severely punish Brother Mu Liang. Thinking that Brother Mu Liang was punished because of him, he felt sad and a little self-blame, but soon he felt that he and Brother Mu Liang were also for the famous Li in Jiangnan, so they had no choice. What was wrong? So he turned all his resentment to Master Li.
In the room, Mu Liang was lying on the bed with his upper body naked. His broad and strong back was covered with scars that had not yet healed completely and some of which had even reopened. Li Yunye was sitting beside the bed with a bottle of ointment in his hand, applying it to him. The cold ointment applied to the cracked wounds relieved Mu Liang's pain and his originally pale complexion also eased a little.
"This old man is really cruel. He made you get beaten with twenty boards just for such a small matter!" Li Yunye looked at the criss-crossing and shocking scars on Mu Liang's back, and thought of the ten boards he got beaten on his buttocks that almost killed him. Now his brother had to suffer double the pain on his back. He felt so distressed that his eyes turned red. He began to complain to Master Li, but he was secretly glad that he did not follow his brother Mu Liang back to Qile City, otherwise he would have been beaten up as well.
"I was at fault in the first place. My adoptive father entrusted you to my care, but I let you go to a dangerous place and disregarded your safety. You are the only child of the Li family and the future hope of the famous Li family in Jiangnan. Therefore, my adoptive father's anger is understandable." Mu Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled. His gentle voice became hoarse and weak due to the pain of the wound.
"Mother is the same. She even punished you but didn't even let you recover from your injuries before coming back!" Seeing that Mu Liang was still speaking for Li Xingyuan, Li Yunye pouted in dissatisfaction and started to criticize Madam Li.
"You can't wrongly accuse your stepmother of this. It's all thanks to her care that I've been recovering from my injuries these days. I only set off on this journey after I had recovered from my injuries. Maybe the bumps on the road opened the wound again." Mu Liang opened his eyes, looked up at Li Yunye and smiled helplessly again.
Jiang Siyao didn't say anything else, but just glanced at the other person with pretended anger, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Brother Mu Liang is so considerate, always thinking about others but never complaining for himself, even someone as weak and selfish as her couldn't help but feel sorry for him for having such a hard life.
"These minor injuries are not serious. They will heal after a few days of rest." Seeing the unhappiness on his brother's face, Mu Liang knew that he was concerned about him, so he hurriedly smiled and comforted him.
"Is everything okay at home?" Li Yunye sighed and didn't respond to him, but changed the subject.
"Well, everything is fine. The dyeing workshop has been rebuilt and everything is back to normal." Mu Liang nodded, with a smile in his bright eyes. He continued to look at Li Yunye and said, "I saw An Ge."
"Ange?" Li Yunye's hand that was applying water to the wound paused for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He hadn't heard this name for a long time, and he hadn't seen Ange for several months. If Brother Mu Liang hadn't mentioned him, he would have seemed to have forgotten the person he trusted the most.
"He has grown a lot. He also contributed a lot to the current crisis of Jiangnan's famous Li. Now he is helping Manager Li to manage the farm. His adoptive father and the housekeeper are full of praise for him."
"I can rest assured that."
Hearing that Ange was doing well, Li Yunye's guilt seemed to be alleviated a lot.
