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

Chapter 827 I beg you!

The small fenced courtyard on the eastern side of the palace.

In the yard, Xu Youzhi held a teapot in her hand and looked at the man who suddenly appeared outside the yard. She smiled sweetly without any surprise on her face.

It’s still the same stone table, in the same position.

Li Mu walked forward, picked up the teacup and took a sip, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"I have made progress. How did you do it?"

"Kneading, rolling, um... all according to the steps taught by the young master."

Xu Youzhi put down the teapot, walked behind Li Mu, and put her fair little hands on his shoulders.

His movements were skillful and done in one go, without any hesitation at all.

This woman... is still so unpredictable. She clearly looks very reluctant.

Li Mu licked his lips, held Xu Youzhi's hand, and pulled her towards him.

"Sit down, let's just chat."

Xu Youzhi said "Oh", glanced at the seat opposite Li Mu, hesitated for a moment, and then sat directly in Li Mu's arms.

Li Mu's expression froze, not sure if the woman did it on purpose.

But he never refused beauties throwing themselves at him, so he just held onto that slender waist that seemed like it could be broken at any time, and said in a light tone,

"Is that handkerchief really embroidered by Ling'er?"

"Yes……"

Xu Youzhi subconsciously wanted to admit it, but when she met Li Mu's playful eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled helplessly.

"It was embroidered by a maid in the mansion. Ling'er is not good at needlework, and she didn't want the Second Young Master to see and laugh at her."

She deliberately explained one more sentence, not because she didn't want to, but because she was afraid that she wouldn't do it well enough.

"Oh?"

Li Mu was slightly surprised. She thought it was embroidered by Xu Youzhi no matter what.

These two girls really don't care at all.

Seeing that the woman was so honest, Li Mu hesitated for a moment and simply got straight to the point.

"What does Banqueci mean?"

"Are you delivering a message to Shan Yuan?"

Li Mu is not stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Ling'er's previous reaction was abnormal. It was definitely not as simple as a so-called "birthday gift".

Xu Youzhi turned her head and met Li Mu's gaze, her pink lips slightly opening and closing.

"The sound of stringed instruments fills the air. Singing fills the hall."

"A beautiful lady is rare in the world, and the candlelight flickers red at night."

"This is a half-line poem embroidered on a handkerchief. What do you think I am trying to convey, sir?"

This is "Su Zhongqing" by the Song Dynasty poet Yan Shu. The second half should be:

Laugh together and drink a thousand cups of wine.

There is no end to prosperity.

May you achieve success, be prosperous and healthy, and have a long and healthy life.

This……

With Li Mu's third-rate literary attainments, it is hard to guess what message this poem can convey.

The hand on the girl's waist exerted a little force, and slowly leaned over, his cheek getting closer and closer.

"I have little patience, why don't you tell me."

Feeling the man's oppressive hot breath, Xu Youzhi's body stiffened slightly, but she still refused to retreat.

"Sir, do you know the second half of this poem?"

"Laugh together, drink a thousand cups..."

Li Mu did not hesitate. Their lips almost touched when he read out the words. He wanted to see what this woman could say.

However, Li Mu spoke the second half of the poem without hesitation.

Xu Youzhi sneered unconsciously, then leaned back a little to create some distance between herself and Li Mu, and changed the subject.

"I have been given to you by the Second Young Master, so I am naturally yours. How could I pass on any information to you?"

"This phrase was the birthday gift that the Second Young Master gave to Ling'er. The word 'Ling' is taken from the two characters 'Ling Nu'. How could it have any other meaning?"

Of course Li Mu didn't believe this. He put his hands around the girl's waist and pushed them tightly together. His voice was low and threatening.

"Then why only half of the que was embroidered?"

"Ling, Ling'er has a bad memory and forgot the second half of the poem, that's all."

Xu Youzhi's breathing quickened for a moment, but returned to normal after a moment, with a hint of playfulness in her sweet and soft voice.

"I need more reminders, young master."

Seeing this woman start practicing Tai Chi again, Li Mu immediately lost his patience and said quickly,

"I'll ask you again, did you pass on any information to Shan Yuan? What exactly does that word mean?"

Li Mu's face turned pale for a moment, and his eyes were filled with fatigue.

The consumption of words is still as overwhelming as ever.

Xu Youzhi was in a trance for a moment, and then she began to struggle.

"no!"

"That poem was indeed a birthday gift from the Second Young Master to Ling'er. It has no other meaning."

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned slightly.

According to the rules, Xu Youzhi should not be able to lie. Am I really overthinking it?

He glanced at the house in the distance subconsciously and said hesitantly,

"Are Ling'er and Shanyuan on good terms?"

After all, whether it was that dream or what she learned later, Li Ling'er had never even seen Shan Yuan when she was a child.

Is the power of blood really so strong?

Xu Youzhi came back to her senses from her trance, and was shocked. She looked at Li Mu in disbelief, pursed her lips and said,

"Brothers and sisters from the same mother, what do you think, young master?"

After saying this, she twisted her body unconsciously, trying to get out of Li Mu's arms.

The feeling of having to speak the truth just now really made her feel a little scared.

If Li Mu had asked a different question, perhaps her purpose would have been exposed directly.

Xu Youzhi put her hand on Li Mu's chest and pushed him hard.

"Please, sir, let this slave go."

Seeing this woman start to act up again, Li Mu frowned unhappily, forcibly held her down, and sneered,

"Why, now you don't admit that you are mine?"

Yes, I have been hers for a long time...Xu Youzhi stopped struggling, staring at Li Mu with an aggrieved look, her lips turning slightly white from being bitten by herself.

"Sir, are you going to stay here?"

"Is Ling'er still in the room, or is it that the young master is also..."

Xu Youzhi wanted to test him, and her frosty almond eyes stared at Li Mu.

"have what?"

"The old man has promised her to me. She is mine!"

Li Mu snorted coldly, getting angry when he thought of that heartless Li Ling'er.

Although the two of them were using each other at the beginning, Li Mu did deceive the girl's feelings.

But no matter what, we have experienced life and death together, and at least we have a revolutionary friendship that allows us to share weal and woe.

But ever since Li Ling'er met her "bad brother", all her views and attitudes have gone astray.

"You, you really want to marry Ling'er!"

Xu Youzhi breathed rapidly, grabbed Li Mu's collar tightly with both hands, and questioned angrily.

"Marry?"

Li Mu glanced at the house in the distance and noticed that Li Ling'er was peeking at him. He immediately said loudly,

"She doesn't know what's good for her. At most, she can be a concubine! No, she can't even be a concubine. At most, she can be a bed-warming maid!"

"She doesn't want to get married, so let her serve my Xiao Zhao exclusively from now on!"

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi's face turned pale, and she pounced on Li Mu's neck, her voice choking with sobs.

"You, you bastard!"

"hiss------"

Li Mu took a deep breath, pushed the man away, looked at the blood on his hands, gritted his teeth and said,

"you……"

However, before Li Mu could finish his words, he saw Xu Youzhi sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes, and the spilled tea splashed all over her.

Li Mu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

I have to say that Xu Youzhi's words "I am already the young master's woman" really had some effect.

Li Mu admitted that he is a beauty lover.

Xu Youzhi's pitiful appearance now dampened all his anger.

"Is it okay..."

Li Mu stood up and was about to go forward to support.

Unexpectedly, Xu Youzhi hugged Li Mu's thighs directly, raised her head, and looked at him pleadingly.

"Let Ling'er go, as long as you are willing to let Ling'er go... You said that as long as I beg you, you will agree. I beg you now, I beg you..."
