EBE Chapter 375: Still Destined with That Girl
Chapter 375: Still Destined with That Girl
Qingming Festival has passed, and there is often drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River. The weather is changeable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.
As night fell, the spring rain that had just fallen in Qile City finally stopped, but the ground was muddy and wet. The candlelight in the attic of Qingyun Garden in Li's mansion was bright. Li Yunye sat on the couch by the window thoughtfully, sometimes sighing with his brows lowered, and sometimes smiling slightly, which made Mu Liang, who was sitting opposite him, frown slightly and look worried.
"How about asking Doctor Sun to take a look tomorrow?" Mu Liang hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but ask.
"What do you want to see Doctor Sun for? Who is sick?" Li Yunye was confused by what he heard. He quickly raised his eyes to look at his brother and asked nervously.
"You! You have been absent-minded since you came back from Dongzhou. Did something evil happen to you on the road?" Mu Liang looked at Li Yunye with concern, still frowning and speaking seriously.
"What's the point of seeing a doctor if you've encountered an evil spirit? Shouldn't you ask a Taoist priest or a monk to perform a ritual?" Li Yunye chuckled, then glared at the other party and joked.
"Don't joke. Have you been feeling uncomfortable these days?" Mu Liang sighed seriously and continued to ask.
"Look, I'm fine and nothing happened to me!" Li Yunye made a naughty face at his brother, then smiled gently.
It is true that appearance reflects the heart. Jiang Siyao has lived in Li Yunye's body for a long time, and her originally delicate and tender eyes now have a bit more gentleness. Her smile even made Mu Liang dazed for a moment.
After spending such a long time with Li Yunye, he seemed to have sensed his subtle changes, but Mu Liang did not care. In fact, selfishly speaking, he even felt more attached to his younger brother Yunye.
"Okay, if you say it's okay, then it's okay." Mu Liang then also smiled indulgently.
Seeing that Brother Mu Liang was no longer worried about her, Jiang Siyao breathed a sigh of relief.
After learning that another personality also exists in this world with her body, Jiang Siyao is ecstatic as if she has found a long-lost friend. Since returning to the Li Mansion, she has been looking forward to meeting Siyao every day. From time to time, she would imagine the scene when the two personalities met for the first time. However, no matter how many times she rehearsed it in her mind, she still couldn't decide whether the first sentence should be an apology or a thank you.
"Brother Mu Liang, do you think Miss Si Yao is pretty?" After a moment's silence in the room, Li Yunye suddenly held his breath, looked at his brother in front of him and asked seriously.
Jiang Siyao was also curious, if she appeared in front of Brother Mu Liang with her own face, would he be moved?
"Yeah, she's beautiful. Miss Si Yao is pretty and kind-hearted. Even though she looks a little cold, she is as pretty as a flower and the moon, elegant and refined." Seeing his sworn brother suddenly mention Miss Si Yao again, Mu Liang felt a little resistant in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and answered truthfully.
"Cold? How could it be cold?" Li Yunye couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard it. He could see that the seriousness on Brother Mu Liang's face didn't seem like he was joking with him, and he couldn't help but feel full of doubts.
Jiang Siyao thought that she could feel from the words in the letter that her other personality should be gentle yet strong, so why would it be so cold?
"She only looks cold, but once you get to know her, you'll know that Miss Si Yao is a woman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and very tenacious. Her calmness and composure when faced with difficulties are rare in this world."
"I can see that you admire her very much!" Jiang Siyao couldn't help feeling a little jealous as her brother praised Si Yao more than her face. She frowned slightly and pouted.
"You have been distracted these days probably because of the letter from Miss Si Yao, right? What is your relationship with her?" Mu Liang ignored the displeasure on his brother's face and asked again.
As soon as the topic of Miss Si Yao came up, his brother's lazy eyes instantly lit up, which made Mu Liang realize belatedly that his absent-mindedness seemed to have started after he read the letter.
"It's getting late and I'm sleepy. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the dyeing workshop to check the new cloth. Brother Mu Liang, you should go back and have some rest too!" As soon as Mu Liang finished speaking, Li Yunye stood up, stretched lazily, and covered up the guilt in his eyes with a yawn.
This was the second time Mu Liang asked about the relationship between his sworn brother and Miss Si Yao, but Li Yunye still avoided answering. He felt disappointed, so he stood up and said goodbye in a hurry.
Seeing Brother Mu Liang leaving the room dejectedly, Jiang Siyao sighed in distress. It was not that she had intended to hide it, but this matter was complicated and sounded so magical that she didn't know how to start. More importantly, she was not sure how Brother Mu Liang would react after knowing that the current Li Yunye was not the real Li Yunye. Would he believe such a weird thing? Could she continue to stay in Li's house and accompany him as always?
Even though it was a torture for Jiang Siyao to speak out her suffering, she did not want to make up a lie to deceive Mu Liang, so she planned to delay until she met Si Yao to discuss countermeasures.
Mu Liang walked down the attic with a sad heart. An Yun, who was waiting in the courtyard, came forward with a lantern in his hand. He bowed to him and said, "Master Mu Liang, Ah Qun suddenly had a stomachache and went back first. Let me take you there."
"No need, I'll go back by myself and take good care of the young master." Mu Liang took the lantern from An Yun's hand, raised his eyes to glance at the room in the attic where candlelight was still on, smiled and said, then went out of the yard.
"Mr. Mu Liang, you're back? I was just about to pick you up!" In the dead of night, Mu Liang walked through the corridor and just arrived outside the Lu Hall, he saw Ah Qun coming out with a lantern. He was about to speak but Ah Qun spoke first.
"I heard from An Yun that you had a stomachache? Are you feeling better?" Mu Liang smiled slightly and asked with concern.
"Hehe, I'm fine. Maybe it's because I drank a few more sips of cold drinks just now." Ah Qun scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
"I'm glad you're okay. Try to drink less cold drinks at night next time. Now go back." Mu Liang nodded with relief and continued to go towards Liangyuan.
Seeing that Master Mu Liang looked tired, Ah Qun said nothing more and followed silently behind him holding the lantern.
After returning to Liangyuan, Mu Liang did not let Ah Qun light the lamp, but went into the side room alone. However, when he just lit the candle, he was surprised to see Madam Honghua, whose charming figure was highlighted in a black veil, leaning on the bed and winking at him charmingly.
"Mu Liang greets Madam Honghua. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" Mu Liang was surprised and helpless. He could only stand where he was and salute Honghua who was sitting on his bed.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Mu still missed me after not seeing me for half a year. I am very grateful." Seeing Mu Liang being respectful to her, Honghua was very satisfied. She stood up, twisted her waist and walked towards him, continuing to smile charmingly.
"I wonder why Madam Honghua came here tonight? How is Miss Xuanyu's injury now?" When Mu Liang saw Madam Honghua walking towards him, he couldn't help but take a few steps back to keep a distance, and hurriedly moved Xuanyu out and asked with concern.
"I asked you to find a doctor before. Have you met one with superb medical skills comparable to that of a miracle doctor?" As expected, Honghua was no longer in the mood to play around when his sister was mentioned. He immediately sat down at the table with a cold face and asked seriously.
After learning that Mr. Sanxiu could not cure the flower bite poison in a short period of time, Honghua began to look for medical treatment everywhere. She also agreed with what the old man Sanxiu said that she could not hang herself on a tree, and she had to look for other opportunities.
As for why she didn't come to Li Mansion to look for Li Yunye but came to see Mu Liang, whom she had only met once, it was naturally because there were many people in Li Yunye's Qingyun Garden, and she didn't want to be entangled by that sloppy old man again.
"There are two, but one is said to be always erratic, and the other has not yet arrived in Qile City." Mu Liang blurted out without thinking.
"Haven't arrived at Qile City yet? What does that mean?" Honghua asked with some anticipation, his eyes turning slightly.
"Miss Si Yao promised to come to Qile City, but she had to stay in Lianzhou to treat the plague first. Now that the plague in Lianzhou has been completely quelled, Miss Si Yao should be on her way."
"You said that the one who will come to Qile City is Sister Si Yao?" Madam Honghua couldn't help but smile with joy when she heard it. Now she could meet an acquaintance again.
"Mrs. Honghua knows Miss Si Yao?" Mu Liang also looked surprised.
"The other one is erratic, are you talking about Mr. Zisang who was also fighting the plague in Lianzhou before?" Honghua ignored Mu Liang and continued to ask.
Honghua only knew the name of Mr. Zisang when she heard about the plague in Lianzhou when she was about to reach Qile City. She also knew that this miracle doctor was a master who traveled all over the world and cured and saved people at the mercy of fate. If there was no fate with the person, finding him would be harder than climbing to the sky.
"Well, I have never seen Mr. Zisang in person. I only know that in the eyes of both the government and the people in Lianzhou, Mr. Zisang is a miraculous doctor. Although he is erratic, Miss Siyao seems to have a close relationship with this gentleman. Madam, you might as well wait for Miss Siyao."
After hearing Mu Liang's words, Mrs. Honghua's brows finally relaxed. She didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, she was still destined to be with that girl.
"It's late. Should I ask someone to arrange accommodation for Madam?" Seeing that Madam Honghua didn't ask any more questions, Mu Liang coughed twice and said with a smile.
"I'll live with you." Mrs. Honghua looked at Mu Liang straight with a frivolous look in her eyes.
"There are still two empty rooms in the yard. I'll go and clean one up for Madam." Mu Liang felt a chill on his back as he was stared at by this woman like a prey in the room late at night. As he spoke, he quickly opened the door and walked out.
Seeing the other party fleeing in panic, Honghua suddenly felt disappointed, and couldn't help curling his lips and cursing in a low voice: "No wonder he hasn't married yet at his age. He is so unromantic and like a blockhead. Which woman would like him?"
