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

Chapter 525: The irrelevant talk makes Mrs. Lu feel aggrieved.

After a while, Li Mu saw that Die Meng's condition had stabilized, so he turned his gaze to Mrs. Lu.

When Mrs. Lu saw Li Mu's gaze, she subconsciously shrank her neck.

However, she seemed to feel that this was contrary to her status as a first-rank imperial lady, so she puffed out her chest slightly and said calmly,

"The prince is quite romantic. Even the leader of the Tianzong treats you like this, like this..."

Mrs. Lu frowned slightly. She originally wanted to compliment Li Mu, but when she said it, it sounded more like a mockery. So she simply closed her red lips and didn't say anything else.

She also figured out most of what was going on between the two of them.

It seems that the Taoist leader Diemeng did something to offend Li Mu, and Li Mu is about to sever the emotional ties with him.

As a result, the Taoist leader was unhappy. Not only did Li Mu not punish her, he also helped her to gain enlightenment and protected her.

Mrs. Lu suddenly felt that Li Mu was not as bad as the rumors said.

Especially last night, Mrs. Lu also figured out some things.

Then he went to Lu Jianjia's courtyard late at night, wanting to talk to her about the original engagement.

After all, what happened between the two was a misunderstanding. If it gets out, it might become a good story.

Although it was not Li Mu who signed the marriage contract with Lu Jianjia, it was undoubtedly Li Mu who was granted the marriage by His Majesty.

Now that a great battle with the rebel king of Jiangcheng is imminent, there is still room for maneuver in terms of rewards and punishments after the war.

But it turned out that the person lying on Lu Jianjia's bed was Ye Miaomiao.

After staring at Ye Miaomiao and waiting all night, Mrs. Lu immediately ran to Linglong Waterside Pavilion.

She knew very well that Lu Jianjia only seemed to have improved slightly on the surface, but in fact, except for Li Mu, no one else could get close to her.

As a mother, could she really watch her daughter live out her life alone?

Not to mention that the two of them were in love with each other, even if they were not, she should have tried her best to bring them together and did her best to make it happen. There was no reason for her to interfere.

In addition, the experience in the carriage that day left Mrs. Lu with psychological trauma.

She was afraid that she would really anger Li Mu and he would kill her husband, take her wife, and rape her daughter.

A good marriage turned into hatred.

Even the Imperial Censor who was at the Heavenly Man Realm was no match for Li Mu.

How could her pedantic and dull husband be a match for this little devil?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu lowered her eyes to glance at her proud assets, and then quickly hunched her chest.

I wondered why I was so tall.

Are you afraid that others won’t help you?

Li Mu didn't know what Mrs. Lu was thinking, but he didn't care when he saw her expression change. He said calmly,

"Madam, are you here to look for Jianjia?"

Madam Lu stared at Li Mu with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to see through him. However, after observing him for a while, she could not tell anything from Li Mu's face except that his appearance was no less than that of Prime Minister Lu when he was young.

After thinking about the wording, he nodded.

"Jianjia has never disappeared like this before, so, as a mother, I was a little presumptuous before, and I hope that you can forgive me."

Mrs. Lu lowered her posture a little. From the beginning when she was going to charge Li Mu with an accusation, now her words and deeds all showed that she was asking Li Mu for help.

Li Mu nodded, "Jianjia is here with me, and should be in the courtyard where Madam lived before."

Li Mu was in a bad mood at the moment, and had completely forgotten his original plan with Dongmei.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu's eyes fixed. Just as she was about to get up and look for Lu Jianjia, she heard Li Mu say again,

"I want to apologize to Madam again for what happened in the carriage that day. I hope Madam can forgive me."

Li Mu’s idea was very simple. He did it to coax Lu Jianjia.

Now, I hope to ease the relationship with this future mother-in-law.

Although Li Mu didn't know what he did in the carriage that day.

But Mrs. Lu’s entire upper body clothing was almost completely torn, and coupled with her attitude towards him afterwards, it was obvious.

Fortunately, judging from Lu Jianjia's performance, the two of them did not really make a big mistake, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, to Mrs. Lu, it sounded as if Li Mu was threatening her, or hinting at her?

She frowned tightly, hesitated for a long time, and asked tentatively,

"If it were me, I would rather die than obey?"

“That sounds a bit weird…”

Li Mu frowned slightly, thinking that Mrs. Lu was saying that she would rather die than agree with her and Lu Jianjia's relationship.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, I don't need anyone's consent except Jianjia. I am willing to tell you all this because you are Jianjia's mother."

Mrs. Lu thought to herself, you know that I am Jianjia’s mother, don’t you consider Jianjia’s feelings?

She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.

"Since you know that I am Jianjia's mother, you should respect me!"

Mrs. Lu can now only pin her hopes on Li Mu's favor for Lu Jianjia, hoping that he will let her go for Lu Jianjia's sake.

Not to mention Li Mu's identity and status, just look at Li Mu's current strength.

Unless it was treason or rebellion against the emperor, even if there was a crime, the court would turn a blind eye.

Even if Li Mu kidnapped her and imprisoned her in this mansion, the imperial court would probably not stand up to support her.

However, Mrs. Lu's words made Li Mu think that she was acting like a mother-in-law, so he frowned slightly and said,

"I respect Madam, and I hope Madam can respect Jianjia's wishes."

"Jianjia's wishes?" Madam Lu was stunned, with disbelief in her eyes, "What do you mean, how could Jianjia agree... I, I am her mother!"

Li Mu waved his hands. He was already holding back his anger, and now that he heard this kind of rhetoric of taking advantage of his seniority, he simply said impatiently,

"If you don't believe me, just go and ask it yourself."

Mrs. Lu stood up. She didn't believe that her always proud daughter would send her mother away just to please Li Mu, and she was about to leave.

Li Mu casually dispersed the Qi thread, thought for a moment, and stopped Mrs. Lu's steps, adding,

"Madam, if I knew that you used despicable means to coerce Jianjia, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Mrs. Lu paused, turned back and glared at Li Mu, wondering who was using such despicable means!

However, the murderous aura that seemed to be real from Li Mu still made her a little afraid. Mrs. Lu, who had always refused to admit defeat, was unable to utter any harsh words.

She bit her red lips hard and walked away.

Seeing this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Now was definitely not the time to talk about these things.

Any little thing that doesn't go your way will trigger the anger in your heart.

The anger that had just subsided in Xiao Zhao was stirred up again by Mrs. Lu.

On the side, Xiao Zhao watched Mrs. Lu leave.

I always feel that what my young master and she are talking about are not the same thing.

After a slight hesitation, he was about to open his mouth to remind him, but he saw Die Meng, who was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, suddenly became ferocious in expression, then opened his eyes and shouted "No".

Hearing the noise, Li Mu, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, only to see that Die Meng's Taoist aura suddenly collapsed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.

"Xiao Die!" Li Mu was shocked. His figure flashed and he immediately appeared beside her, his face full of anxiety.

At the same time, Jun Jiuling's surprised voice sounded in Li Mu's ears.

"This woman actually, actually cut off her own path! Is she crazy?"
