A life of two souls traveling through time

It was almost 9 o'clock the next day when Li Yunye sneaked out of the Li Mansion with a small wooden box, and An Ge followed him nervously.

"Take your things to the pawnshop later. I'll wait for you in the carriage." When they were almost at the gate of Li's mansion, Li Yunye handed the wooden box in his hand to Ange.

"Sir, I'm a servant of the Li family. I'm here to pawn my master's things... If I'm discovered by the people in the pawnshop, they will take me to see the authorities..." Ange said with a wronged look on her face, holding the wooden box.

"I'm just outside, what are you afraid of?" Li Yunye rolled his eyes. He was the one who promised to be the officer so confidently last night, but now he was scared at this critical moment.

"uh-huh!"

As the two were talking, they suddenly ran into Li Xingyuan and Butler Fang who had just returned from outside at the door.

“Father...Father..." Li Yunye was so scared that his tongue started to get tied.

"What? Did I see a ghost so early in the morning?" Li Xingyuan started cursing again with a dark face.

Li Yunye didn't dare to say a word. He just lowered his head and waited to be scolded. An Ge behind him was so scared that he was trembling all over. He held the small wooden box tightly in his hand and prayed in his heart: Don't let the master and Butler Fang notice the small wooden box.

"Ange, what are you holding in your hand?" As expected, whatever you fear will come true. Ange's poorly concealed expression naturally did not escape the sharp eyes of Butler Fang.

"A toy..."

"Open."

When Li Yunye saw that An Ge's flaw was discovered by Butler Fang, he was about to find an excuse to fool her but was interrupted by Li Xingyuan's order.

An Ge glanced at Li Yunye who was also beginning to panic, and had no choice but to step forward and open the small wooden box in his hand. A piece of crystal clear white jade appeared in front of the four people. Li Xingyuan was surprised to see the white jade, and then his face began to become more and more livid. Although Li Yunye and An Ge were puzzled, they knew that they were about to face a bloody storm.

"Sir, do you know the purpose of this piece of white jade?" Fortunately, Butler Fang broke the terrible silence.

"I have so many jades in my room, how can I remember all your purposes?" Li Yunye shook his head aggrievedly.

"This is the Li family's heirloom jade, passed down from generation to generation. It was passed directly to the young master by the great master when he was born." Butler Fang sighed first, then answered.

What! Heirloom jade!

Li Yunye and An Ge were completely devastated after hearing this. Even though they didn't understand jade, they knew how important this heirloom jade was to the Li family. No wonder Mr. Li's expression became more and more terrifying.

"Sir, are you going to pawn this jade for silver?" Looking at the two people in front of him who were stunned, Butler Fang asked again.

"How do you know?" Li Yunye said in surprise, and immediately realized that he spoke too quickly and exposed himself.

"A wasteful thing!" As expected, Li Xingyuan flew into a rage upon hearing this, and anxiously looked around for his stuff.

"It's getting late, I have to go to the shop first. Since this jade is so important, let's give it to my father for safekeeping!" Seeing this, Li Yunye hurriedly stuffed the jade box to Butler Fang, and pulled An Ge towards the door while shouting.

"Come back here, you rebellious son!" Li Xingyuan was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and roared at the carriage that was going away.

"Phew, that was a close call, I almost got hit again..." After the carriage turned a corner, Li Yunye patted his chest in relief, and then poked An Ge beside him and continued to disparage him: "You have followed me since you were a child, but you don't even know such an important thing?"

"Master, I swear to God, Ange has never seen the jade since she has been with you, so I mistakenly thought that you put the jade at the bottom of the box because you didn't like it..." Ange was frightened because she was young. She was still in shock and her eyes were red as she was about to cry.

"Idiot! Aren't there important treasures in every family's bottom drawer?" Ange's silly and cute look sometimes drove Li Yunye crazy.

"Sir, I'm sorry. Ange knows I was wrong." Ange lowered his head again after being scolded.

"Alright, alright, this is also my fault. If I hadn't owed those thirty taels of gold, I wouldn't have to seek medical help from all directions today." Seeing An Ge's pitiful look, Li Yunye couldn't bear to look at her and began to blame himself.

"Sir, what should I do with the thirty taels of gold I owe?"

It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned the thirty taels of gold. Once they did, both of them started to have a headache. Li Yunye sighed heavily, and suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion:

"Tell me, why did Butler Fang know that we were going to the pawnshop to pawn our silver?"

"Could it be that the master knows about this?" Ange gave the answer in his mind.

"It's over...it's over..." Li Yunye suddenly felt hopeless. If this was really the case, he would not be able to escape the beating sooner or later.

"Sir, you are here."

The carriage stopped at East Street. Li Yunye walked into the cloth shop listlessly, but saw Lu Zhi smiling happily. He couldn't help but feel angry:

"What? Are you smiling so happily because you have business today?"

"Young master, you don't know that the master came early this morning." Lu Zhi seemed not to notice Li Yunye's unhappiness and continued to smile.

"Master, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Li Yunye was frightened again. An Ge hurried forward and asked nervously.

"He didn't say anything. He just gave me thirty taels of gold and asked me to go to the bookstore to pay for yesterday's printing." Lu Zhi was completely confused by Li Yunye and An Ge's unusual reactions.

"Are you serious?" Li Yunye grabbed Lu Zhi's arms in surprise and confirmed again and again.

"Of course it's true. How dare Lu Zhi tell such a lie?" Lu Zhi nodded firmly and smiled bitterly.

After hearing this, Li Yunye turned around and hugged Ange. They were both so happy that they jumped and laughed. Lu Zhi, who was standing next to them, went from being confused at first to laughing in the end.

"Ahem, is your store still doing business?" At this time, a crisp girl's voice outside the door brought the three happy people in the cloth shop back to reality.

"Business, business, please come in, young lady. We have all kinds of fabrics in the shop, and there are discounts today!" It was the experienced Lu Zhi who reacted quickly. He lifted the door curtain with a smiling face and invited the guest in.

"Yueyu, why are you here?"

Li Yunye raised his eyes and saw that it was Xuanyu and her maid Hongnu who came in. He was delighted again.

"I'm here to take care of your business." Yan Yu was dressed elegantly as always and smiled at Li Yunye.

"Thank you!" Li Yunye bowed to Yan Yu gratefully.

"If you regard Xuanyu as a friend, you shouldn't thank me." Seeing that Li Yunye was still so polite to her, Xuanyu pretended to be disappointed.

"Friends should be thanked, and thank you from the bottom of their hearts!" Li Yunye said disapprovingly, then he took Yanyu's wrist and continued with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you to see the new fabrics."

Being pulled by Li Yunye out of nowhere, Huanyu was a little surprised, then she threw her hand away and said with a smile: "Young Master, you are so close to Huanyu in public, aren't you afraid that rumors will spread all over the city tomorrow?"

After being reminded by Yanyu, Jiang Siyao realized that his subconscious action just now was to regard himself as Jiang Siyao instead of Li Yunye, giving the illusion of walking hand in hand with a good friend.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Li Yunye bowed repeatedly to apologize.

Li Yunye's panicked look made Hong Nu laugh, but An Ge and Lu Zhi on the side looked helpless.

"Hongnu, go pick out the fabric. I have something important to discuss with Master Li." After saying this, Xuanyu looked at Li Yunye with a smile in her eyes.

"Please come upstairs!" Li Yunye asked An Ge to accompany Hong Nu to pick out the fabrics and then invited Xuan Yu to go upstairs.

Lu Zhi was very perceptive and poured two cups of freshly brewed tea and brought them upstairs.

"What important matter does your girl want to talk to my master about?" Ange asked quietly behind Hongnu.

"How would a servant like me know about the young lady's affairs?" Hong Nu raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly.
