I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 828 "I can hug your thighs, too!"

Seeing Xu Youzhi's collapse, Li Mu actually felt a little distressed.

This woman always behaved humblely in front of him and acted obediently.

But Li Mu could see the pride in her bones.

Seeing that she could do this for Li Ling'er, Li Mu sighed and said helplessly,

"Okay, I'm afraid of you."

Li Mu admitted that he was controlled by the woman's tears.

When Xu Youzhi threw herself into his arms and flattered him, Li Mu really didn't feel anything.

On the contrary, it was her usual arrogance and her current fragility that attracted Li Mu more.

Or maybe men are just cheap.

Li Mu carefully helped the girl up, wiped the tears from her face with his thumb, and accidentally touched the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.

For a moment, Li Mu's thoughts were a little dazed.

Perhaps he didn't want to admit it, but he had a strange feeling in his heart when he saw this woman for the first time.

From head to toe, it seemed that every hair on the other person grew in accordance with his aesthetic standards.

However, there was always a voice in Li Mu's heart telling him not to get close to this woman.

At first, Li Mu only thought it was a crisis warning. The more a woman looked like a little white flower, the more dangerous she was.

What's more, Li Mu had not met Zhang Hanrui at that time, and Xu Youzhi's appearance was definitely at the ceiling level.

But now, Li Mu suddenly realized that the feeling seemed like a promise, a promise he made to Xu Youzhi and to himself.

Li Mu didn't understand why he had this feeling, but as he came into contact with Xu Youzhi, this emotion became stronger and stronger.

Xu Youzhi looked at the tenderness and forbearance in the man's eyes, and her heart was touched. She held the man's big hand that was wiping her tears, and sobbed softly.

"I just said that on purpose. Ling'er was eavesdropping."

Li Mu's voice was very soft, as if he was giving in.

Xu Youzhi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to turn back.

"She's back."

Li Mu held the girl's cheek and sighed slightly.

"Just when I said to let her be Xiao Zhao's maid."

"So, intentionally..."

Xu Youzhi murmured softly, confusion showing on her face, but she was quickly relieved.

She looked at Li Mu earnestly with tearful eyes, her tone more serious than ever before.

"Sir, can you please answer Youzhi's question seriously and don't lie to Youzhi?"

"You ask."

Surprise flashed across Li Mu's eyes, and then he sighed helplessly.

"I will never lie to you about one question."

Xu Youzhi looked at those eyes that seemed to contain the stars in the sky, pursed her thin lips, and said word by word,

"Will the young master be bad to the prince, to my sister, to Ling'er... to the entire Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"What is the problem?"

Li Mu was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Young Master promised not to lie to Youzhi!"

Xu Youzhi looked stubborn, holding Li Mu's hand with a little force.

"As long as you say it now, Youzhi will believe it."

"Heh." Li Mu shook his head helplessly, although he didn't understand why Xu Youzhi asked such a question.

But seeing the girl's serious expression, he calmed down and shook his head solemnly,

"will not!"

"That young man..."

Xu Youzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to ask more questions.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu reached out and pressed her lips, reminding her,

"one question!"

This was a woman he could not yet fully trust.

I was just overwhelmed by emotion and made that promise.

Fortunately, the problem did not cause him any embarrassment.

Most of the time, Li Mu is still a "good man" who would not lie to women.

But Li Mu didn't want to continue to be led by the nose.

Xu Youzhi hummed, revealing a somewhat embarrassed expression. She was not the kind of person who would push for more. She was just excited and lost her composure just now.

"Then I... also ask you a question?"

Li Mu chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes.

"Woo, sir, sir, just ask whatever you want."

Xu Youzhi's lips were held down by Li Mu, so she didn't dare to move and could only speak with difficulty.

Li Mu was a little embarrassed to say that he didn't mean it, so he took his hand back awkwardly and asked,

"What is your relationship with Shan Yuan?"

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi's eyes flashed with panic, and she hurriedly explained,

"We, we have nothing to do with each other."

She stole a glance at the man and really didn't want to admit that she had mistaken Shanyuan for her "lover".

Seeing that Li Mu didn't seem to care much, he felt relieved but also a little jealous.

She pursed her red lips and said slowly,

"Seven years ago, the cold poison in my body broke out and I couldn't suppress it. When my life was hanging by a thread, Shan Yuan appeared."

"He claimed to be the second son of the mansion. Because he missed the prince and Ling'er, he asked me to tell him about the mansion from time to time, and gave me a fragrant medicine that can suppress the cold poison."

"For the next year, he would come to deliver medicine to me at the beginning of every month and would also ask about the situation at home."

"But, but I haven't spoken to him much, just a few words each time."

Xu Youzhi observed Li Mu's expression, and when she saw him frowning, she quickly added a sentence.

Li Mu looked at her in surprise and nodded.

"continue."

"After that, he showed up once every six months, and then once a year."

"The incense was soaked in the letter sent to me. I burned the letter into ashes and put it in the sachet. When the cold poison attacked, I would smell it..."

Xu Youzhi stared at Li Mu cautiously, and seeing that his expression did not change much, she continued,

"Half a year ago, he came to me again and asked me to cooperate with him and go to Qingfeng Temple to invite him out of seclusion."

"Later, the young master came to the palace..."

Xu Youzhi's voice became lower and lower. After all, in her opinion, this was all Li Mu's plan.

The feeling of saying bad things about someone in front of them is really embarrassing.

Li Mu didn't pay attention to these details. Combining the speculation of "possessing the body", he figured out another thing.

Shanyuan had never paid too much attention to him before.

It was not until the King of Yan clarified that he was not his biological son that he started to make trouble.

If everything develops according to Shanyuan's plan.

He successfully established his foothold in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. The people in the Prince of Yan's Mansion knew his true identity and naturally would not vent their anger on him because of the grudges from the past.

People in the outside world just thought he was coming back from the mountain.

If he were to be possessed by another body at this time, Shanyuan would be truly "whitewashed".

Does this guy really care so much about family affection, or does he have other purposes?

Li Mu didn't know and couldn't figure it out. I'm afraid only Shan Yuan himself knew.

Thinking in his heart, Li Mu raised his eyes to look at Xu Youzhi and said,

"But is there anything else?"

"No."

Xu Youzhi responded without thinking, and then seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly added,

"Afterwards, you all know what happened later."

Li Mu nodded. Xu Youzhi wouldn't lie to him about these things.

Then he thought of the man who claimed to be Xu Youzhi's biological father, and asked again,

"What about Liangdu? Do you know him?"

"Liang Du?" Xu Youzhi was stunned for a moment when she heard the name. Then the wretched middle-aged Taoist priest appeared in her mind. She nodded slightly.

"He first came to your house three years ago, and most of the subsequent letters were also delivered by him."

Xu Youzhi didn't know Liang Du's Taoist name, but with her intelligence, she knew that Li Mu must be asking about that person.

"You don't know him well?"

"Yeah! Yeah!" Xu Youzhi shook her head like a rattle, then saw Li Mu's strange expression and hurriedly explained,

"Really, really not familiar with it."

"He, he does, does always say some weird things."

"But, but I never paid much attention to him."

Xu Youzhi could only think of one reason for the strange man's constant concern and care.

Now that Li Mu suddenly asked, she naturally had to explain it clearly.

It seems that she still doesn't know that Liang Du is her biological father... Li Mu secretly calculated and still didn't plan to tell her the truth. It was not his turn as an outsider to interfere in such matters. He just reminded her.

"He gave me the prescription."

"I met him in Rannu."

"Ah?" Xu Youzhi was obviously stunned for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, that's also because you are capable."

Haha, you’re being well-behaved now.

Li Mu glanced at her and subconsciously looked at the house in the distance again.

At this time, Li Ling'er hid behind the window again, her silver teeth gnashing.

"What a good sister! You made up so many lies to me and really took me for a fool!"

"It's just throwing yourself into someone's arms and pretending to be weak... I can hug someone's thighs too!"
