A life of two souls traveling through time

East Street was even more deserted under the cover of night. The Li Mansion's carriage slowly drove away, and Li Yunye was still absent-minded while sitting in the carriage.

"Sir, you have been absent-minded since you met Miss Huanyu today. What happened? What did Miss Huanyu say to you?" Ange had been worried all day, and now he asked directly in the carriage with only two people in it.

Li Yunye shook his head and said nothing. To him, what Xuanyu told him today was a shocking murder case, so the fewer people who knew about it the better before he made a decision.

Seeing that the young master was unwilling to talk, Ange naturally shut up tactfully, but the worry in her heart did not diminish in the slightest.

"Young Master, today the Master has paid back the thirty taels of gold for you... Now that you return home, you should go and greet the Master." When they were almost at Qingyun Garden, An Ge suddenly stopped Li Yunye and reminded him softly.

"Yes, I have to find the master." Li Yunye was so absorbed in the murder case at the moment that he had completely forgotten about the thirty taels of gold. However, Ange's words did wake him up. Since he couldn't make a decision, he might as well throw the problem to Master Li. After all, he was the head of the famous Li family in Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, Li Yunye turned around and headed towards Xingming Tower.

"An songs!"

Ange was stunned for a moment, and was about to follow when Sister Lan suddenly appeared and called her back.

"Aunt Lan." Ange stepped forward and bowed to Sister Yun.

"Where are you going, young master?" Sister Lan asked as she looked at Li Yunye's receding figure.

"Young Master went to greet the Master. Aunt Lan wants to see you?"

"I'm not looking for you, Master." Sister Lan paused and added, "It's Madam who's looking for you."

Ange's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything else. He just followed Sister Lan towards the plum garden obediently.

"Master, the young master is here."

In Xingming Tower, Li Xingyuan was playing chess with Aunt Xin to pass the time when Butler Fang walked in.

"Humph, this kid still has some conscience." Li Xingyuan naturally thought that his son was grateful to him for the thirty taels of gold, so he was very pleased. He put down the black chess piece in his hand, stood up and smiled at Aunt Xin: "I'll be back soon."

"Talk nicely and don't get anxious and angry again." Aunt Xin also put away the white chess pieces and instructed in a gentle voice.

"If he doesn't want to make me angry, why should I be anxious?" Li Xingyuan looked aggrieved.

Aunt Xin stopped talking, just shook her head and laughed: What a pair of enemies, father and son.

Li Xingyuan went downstairs and saw his son from afar, and his face immediately became serious.

"Father." Seeing Mr. Li's stern face, Li Yunye couldn't help but become nervous.

"Well, you just came back?" Li Xingyuan sat down in the main seat. Although his words were caring, they sounded very cold when they came out of his mouth.

"Yes."

"What's up?"

"I...I have something to ask Uncle Fang."

The hall fell into silence for a moment. Li Xingyuan's face froze, and Butler Fang, who was standing behind him, looked even more stunned.

Li Yunye originally wanted to hand over the map of Zhao Chu's villa to Li Xingyuan, but when he saw the gloomy face of Master Li, he became scared again and decided to discuss it with the meticulous butler Fang first.

"Ahem, I'm looking for you." Li Xingyuan broke the silence with a cough, and said to Butler Fang in a disappointed tone.

"Yes." Butler Fang bowed respectfully in front of the master before walking up to Li Yunye and asking, "Sir, what do you want to see me for?"

Li Yunye looked at Butler Fang, then turned to look at Li Xingyuan, his face showing embarrassment, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Hmph, aren't you asking me to stay away?" Li Xingyuan naturally understood. He stood up, shook his sleeves, and went upstairs angrily.

Li Yunye gave the map in his sleeve to Butler Fang only after confirming that Li Xingyuan had gone upstairs, and recounted what Yanyu had told him today. Butler Fang's expression remained unchanged after listening, which made Li Yunye puzzled: Could it be that Butler Fang already knew something?

"Sir, do you think the words of Miss Yanyu are credible?" Butler Fang asked Li Yunye calmly.

"Miss Xuanyu saved my life, of course I believe her." Li Yunye nodded firmly.

"Oh, for saving your life?" Butler Fang was slightly surprised. Although he had always known that the young master was entangled with the courtesan of Hongxiang Pavilion, he had never heard that the woman had saved the young master's life.

Seeing Butler Fang asking about it, Li Yunye didn't think much and told him about how Zhao Chu had secretly sent people to rob and kill him, and how Huan Yu cleverly saved him. Only then did Butler Fang's expression begin to change drastically.

"This is outrageous! The Zhao family is really going too far. I didn't care about the dirty tricks they used on weekdays, but I didn't expect them to go further and even dare to touch my son, Li Xingyuan!" Li Yunye had just finished telling the story when Li Xingyuan's angry curses rang out at the stairs. It turned out that he had been eavesdropping at the stairs on the second floor.

“Father…” Li Yunye was frightened by the sudden angry voice, and he trembled even more when he saw Li Xingyuan coming down the stairs.

"You kept such a big thing a secret? What's the matter? Now that you've grown powerful, you don't even take me, your father, seriously?" Li Xingyuan came up to his son and scolded him again.

Li Yunye was so scolded that he naturally didn't dare to say a word. He just lowered his head and endured it silently.

"We had not yet returned to Qile City when the incident happened. After such a long time, I believe that the young master did not mention it again because he did not want to make the old master worry."

"Yes, yes, just as Uncle Fang said..." Seeing Butler Fang explaining for him, Li Yunye hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Useless thing, you don't say a word when being bullied like this?" Although Butler Fang tried to smooth things over and Li Xingyuan's anger subsided a lot, he still cursed in frustration.

"It's without any evidence, what can I do?" Li Yunye muttered aggrievedly.

"You..." Li Xingyuan was about to continue his outburst but was stopped by Butler Fang.

"Sir, you must be tired after being busy in the shop all day. You should go back and rest early. This matter..."

"Let my father and Uncle Fang handle this matter. I...I'll go back first." Li Yunye naturally understood what Butler Fang meant, so he left without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

Li Xingyuan looked at his son running away, sighed, and then his eyes turned cold:

"Lao Fang, you need to investigate these matters in the next two days. I need solid evidence. If anyone dares to touch my son, I will make him pay the price!"

"Yes, sir."

Li Yunye was so nervous that he trotted all the way back to Qingyun Garden. From afar, he saw An Ge who was looking for him. He released all the grievances and fears in his heart at once, and burst into tears while hugging An Ge.

"Young Master, what happened?" An Ge was frightened by Li Yunye's actions and asked hurriedly.

"Father is angry again..." Li Yunye cried and suddenly stopped to ask An Ge: "Where did you go just now?"

"Just now, Madam called me to ask about the thirty taels of gold."

"Thirty taels of gold? How did my mother know that?" Li Yunye asked in surprise, wiping his tears.

"Sir, what you did yesterday is known to everyone in the city."

“It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!”

Li Yunye pouted in frustration, then returned to Qingyun Garden with Ange. As he was too frightened today, Li Yunye's energy was almost exhausted, so he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
