A life of two souls traveling through time

After experiencing the collision in the carriage last night, Li Yunye felt sore all over when he woke up in the morning. He didn't even have the strength to lift his hands, and had to rely on An Ge to feed him breakfast.

"Is Dashi okay?" Li Yunye asked lazily after breakfast.

"He's fine." Ange replied.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. By the way, don't let my wife know about this, so she won't worry again."

"Don't worry, sir. I have also told Dashi not to spread the news."

"You are quite smart." Jiang Siyao nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sir, please stop teasing Ange. If I hadn't been so stupid and careless yesterday that I didn't realize I was being targeted, you wouldn't have suffered this..." If it were any other time, Ange would have been overjoyed to hear the young master praising him like this, but at this moment he was still full of self-blame.

"You are not a martial arts master, so how can you have the ability to keep your eyes and ears open?" Li Yunye smiled disapprovingly.

"But sir, it's also Ange's fault for buying it..."

"Okay, even if you're here it won't help. Dashi is much stronger than you, but he'll still be knocked unconscious, right?"

"That's true...but this time it's all thanks to Miss Yanyu."

"Indeed...By the way, are all the thank-you gifts ready?"

"Well, I'm sure Miss Xuanyu will like this gift."

"Okay, then you will accompany me to Hongxiang Pavilion later."

"Master, you can just ask Ange to handle this matter. There's no need for you to go there in person. Besides, you're still injured..."

"For saving my life, of course I have to go and thank you in person to show my sincerity."

"But you are not against Hongxiang Pavilion......"

"I'm going to do some serious business!" Li Yunye gave An Ge a blank look, then slowly stood up and went into the inner room.

The Hongxiang Pavilion during the day was in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle at night. Three or two girls were chatting boredly in the lobby. The bell on the door curtain rang. Seeing that it was the young master of the Li family who came in, they all laughed and rushed over to him. Li Yunye was so scared that he hurriedly pulled An Ge to stand in front of him.

"Oh, who is this servant here so early in the morning? It turns out to be a distinguished guest, Mr. Li, you haven't been here for a while."

Mother Qin, who was yawning as she walked down the stairs, saw Li Yunye from afar and couldn't help but smile so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and she twisted her waist to greet him.

"Mother Qin, my master wants to see Miss Xuanyu today for something." Ange was smart and stepped forward to stop Mother Qin.

When the girls saw that Li Yunye was looking for Yanyu again, they immediately felt bored and dispersed.

"Oh, you're looking for Xuanyu." Mother Qin paused for a moment with an expression of knowing everything, then smiled coquettishly and said, "Mr. Li, you know the rules here. To see the courtesan of our Hongxiang Pavilion, you must hand in a visiting card in advance. I didn't remember..."

"Mother Qin, Xuanyu has already received Mr. Li's visiting card, but he forgot to tell you when he came back last night." Before Mother Qin could finish her words, Xuanyu suddenly appeared on the second floor.

"Oh, I know, Mr. Li, please go upstairs." Seeing her own courtesan say this, Mother Qin did not dare to neglect the distinguished guest anymore and hurriedly made way with a smile.

"I'm sorry for being so rude today. My master wanted to come and thank Miss Xuanyu for saving his life last night, but he forgot the rules of Hongxiang Pavilion for a moment. Thanks to the young lady for helping him out just now." When they arrived at the side room, Ange took the lead in bowing to Xuanyu on behalf of the master and said apologetically.

Seeing that Xuanyu and her maid Hongnu were very respectful to him, the silent Li Yunye let down his guard and sat aside.

"You're too polite, Mr. Li." Xuanyu handed Li Yunye a cup of hot tea and smiled faintly.

"I hope Miss Yanyu likes this thank-you gift." After receiving Li Yunye's gaze, An Ge placed the exquisite wooden box in his hand on the table and opened it.

"This... This is the famous music score "Moonlight" from the previous dynasty. I heard that it has been lost, but I didn't expect it to be in your hands?" The old music score in the box surprised Xuan Yu, and she rarely showed a genuine smile, which was different from the past.

"It seems that this gift is the right one." Seeing that the other party liked it, Li Yunye also smiled at An Ge.

"Mr. Li, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it." However, I quickly put away my smile and slowly put the music score in my hand, which was like a treasure, back into the wooden box.

“Compared to my life, how is this piano score expensive?” Jiang Siyao calmly took a sip of tea, not caring at all. No matter how expensive it was, it was Li Yunye’s private collection, and she didn’t spend her blood. Besides, she had to repay her savior.

"Sir, you are joking. No matter how precious an item is, how can it be compared with your life?" Xuan Yu lowered her head and smiled.

"That's it. I don't like to owe debts. You saved me, so of course I have to repay you."

"Sir, do you know how precious this "Moonlight" is? Are you really willing to give it away?" Yan Yu still couldn't believe that the young master of the Li family would be so generous to others so easily when it came to this famous music book that so many people dreamed of having?

"A good horse can only show its value when it meets its master. Music is just a pastime for me to kill time. I am not like Miss Huanyu who regards the zither as her confidant. Therefore, this book "Moonlight" can only show its advantages in the hands of Miss Huanyu."

Willing to part with it? Of course not. If this thing could be brought back to modern times, its value would be immeasurable. But this was originally what Li Yunye had worked hard to find and was going to give to her. Although Jiang Siyao felt that she was not a generous and open-minded person, she would not be stingy to such an extent, not to mention that the person in front of her was her savior.

"Miss Xuanyu, please accept it. This way my master can feel at ease." An Ge on the side couldn't help but persuade.

"In that case, then, Xuanyu would like to thank you, sir." She didn't want to reject the kindness of the young master of the Li family. She also really treasured the famous piano score. How could she easily miss it after having come across it with great difficulty?

"Young Master, have you offended anyone recently?" After receiving the name list, Xuan Yu asked seriously while pouring tea for Li Yunye.

"What do you mean?" Li Yunye's heart tightened.

"The two men in black yesterday were obviously coming for you, young master."

"Are they my enemies?" Li Yunye said and turned to look at Ange.

Ange was lost in his own thoughts. He tried hard to recall whether the young master had ever had any deep hatred with anyone in the past.

"It doesn't look like a vendetta, but more like a job done for money." Yan Yu shook her head slowly.

"Miss Xuanyu means that someone has hired someone to kill my young master?" Ange reacted quickly, his face showing fear.

"Yes, the man in black said last night that he wanted to kill me because of my identity as a son of the famous Li family in Jiangnan..."

"The famous Li family in Jiangnan... If Mr. Li gets into trouble and the Li family has no successor, the famous Li family in Jiangnan will definitely be greatly affected, and the beneficiaries will be..."

"Zhao family!" Ange exclaimed.

"No wonder the young master of the Zhao family asked me out for no reason. It turns out they had it planned!" Li Yunye gritted his teeth and slammed the table.

"Young Master, you should be more careful when you go out in the future." Xuan Yu also showed a trace of worry and continued to remind: "However, there is no evidence to prove that the Zhao family was responsible for yesterday's incident, so Young Master Li must keep calm and must not publicize it to the public, so as to avoid the Zhao family from blaming you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xuanyu. You are the first female hero whom I have admired since I was a child." The life-saving grace last night and the kind reminder at this time have already made Jiang Siyao eliminate his suspicion of Xuanyu.

But Li Yunye's words made Xuanyu absent-minded for a long time.

"Miss, Master Li is gone." Hongnu, who had just sent Li Yunye downstairs, couldn't help but worry when she saw that Xuanyu still looked thoughtful.

"Hongnu, what did Li Yunye just say? He said I am... a female knight?" After coming back to her senses, Xuanyu gave a mocking smile.

"Well, this is the first time that someone treats our girl as a heroine." Hong Nu also burst out laughing.

"Lady knight, interesting." When these two words were applied to herself, Xuanyu found it ridiculous.

"But Master Li actually understands that the girl regards Qin as her confidant. It seems that he really cares about the girl..."

"So what?" Hong Nu was interrupted by Yan Yu's cold voice. She carefully picked up the music score "Moonlight", a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Emotions are deadly poison to us, we can't touch them."
