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

Chapter 438 "Got it, Xiaoyu...Sister."

"Are there any other guests in the house?"

Li Mu lowered his voice and asked Ying Yu in her ear.

"Yes, several elders from Tianzong came to the mansion before, and..."

"No wonder." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and the Qi thread dissipated instantly.

"No wonder what's going on?" Hearing Li Mu's words, Ying Yu blinked her big eyes and asked in a soft voice.

"It's okay, I was just a little too nervous." Li Mu put Ying Yu down from his arms and looked at the girls with gentle eyes.

"I'll go wash up first..."

After saying that, Li Mu turned and walked towards his room.

He knew that the elders of Tianzong were coming to his house, but he didn't think of it just now.

The aura I felt before seemed familiar. It must be the elder of Tianzong.

For a moment, Li Mu once again missed the clear-headed feeling he had in the imperial palace, as if everything was under his control.

Especially since Li Mu seemed to have thought of something important before, but at this moment, he couldn't remember it at all.

"Hiss~ Is that woman poisonous? She makes people feel addicted."

Li Mu's brows were tightly furrowed, and his pace unconsciously quickened a bit. It would be better to get this matter cleared up as soon as possible.

In the hall, the women looked at each other, finally realizing what it meant to be in a daze, and no one was too embarrassed to speak first.

Qiu Ju was the one who reacted the fastest. Her eyes rolled around and she was ready to follow Li Mu quietly.

Unexpectedly, Dongmei, who was standing by, held her down and whispered in her ear,

"Your Highness just brought back a foreign woman, and she is now in your room. If you sneak over there now... you are giving Your Highness a break."

Although Dongmei's voice was very soft, all the women present heard it.

The one who reacted the most was naturally Xiao Zhao. As the first woman to be with Li Mu, just because she was reserved for a moment on the first night, she is now almost like an old maid.

"Who asked you to be here? Get out of here right now!"

At this moment, a woman's gentle voice came from outside the hall.

When I looked over when I heard the sound, I saw Mrs. Lu pointing at the servants' noses and scolding them.

"Madam, I was wrong. I just heard that His Royal Highness had returned home, and I wanted to see His Royal Highness's peerless elegance."

"Madam, we don't dare to do it anymore. We never dare to do it again."

Several servants kowtowed quickly. They all saw this lady beating someone outside the mansion.

"Mrs. Lu, what have they done wrong?"

Xiao Zhao was about to cry, but when she saw this scene, she hurried over to meet him.

The spies of the Zongheng family are now becoming more and more powerful, and Su Yuwei is busy all day long. All the affairs of this mansion have to be handled by her.

Li Mu has just returned home now. If something goes wrong, she will not have the face to pester the young master to sleep with her.

"I heard that the boy caused a big disturbance in the palace. Where is he?"

Mrs. Lu pinched her waist and kept looking around the hall while speaking.

"Madam Lu, you are exhausted from the journey, so you need to rest first. Is there anything urgent?"

Xiao Zhao frowned. Madam Lu was usually quite kind, but now she started talking about this kid, which instantly brought Xiao Zhao's impression of her to the bottom.

"Of course I have something to do with him! What a heartless and unfaithful man! He can kill Wei Yan with one sword, and he still needs to rest! Let him out quickly!"

Mrs. Lu took a step forward and faced Xiao Zhao chest to chest.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the women suddenly changed.

ungrateful?

Heartless man!

This...can't be done.

Although Madam Lu still has her charm, but... but it shouldn't be to the extent that...

Yin Huanping's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he remembered what Li Mu had told him about the legacy of Wei Wu and the spirit of Jian'an.

The corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily. At that time, she thought Li Mu was just joking to tease her, but now it seems that Li Mu really has a unique taste.

It's not impossible!

If you think about it carefully, not only him, but Ge Peining also has special attributes.

For a moment, Yin Huanping actually felt a little regretful. Now that her special attribute was gone, Li Mu might stop loving her from now on.

Thinking of the voices of Aunt Muer...

How would Mrs. Lu call that little bastard when he was with her?

Little thief? Good son-in-law?

Just as Yin Huanping was confused and thinking about something, a white figure suddenly appeared beside everyone and grabbed Lu Fu's arm.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Lu Jianjia was dressed in plain clothes, and her eyes were slightly red, obviously having just cried not long ago.

Mrs. Lu glared at her with a look of disappointment, gritted her teeth and said,

"Whatever you do, mother will naturally seek justice for you."

"You've been waiting for him in this mansion for so many days, and he didn't know if he would see you first when he came back. Look at all the beautiful girls in this room. It makes me angry just thinking about it."

"Mom! He just came back..." Lu Jianjia pursed her lips and was about to defend Li Mu when she was interrupted by Mrs. Lu.

"Don't speak for him! If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have known that the daughter of the Lu family could only hide in that tree and secretly watch and wipe her tears!"

"What's so good about that boy! He's not even married yet, but this is how things are in this courtyard. What will happen when he gets married?"

"Didn't mother say before that as a prince, how could the inner house be empty..."

"Bah! Your father is still the left prime minister, isn't he..."

"Mother!" Lu Jianjia snorted softly, and then the aggrieved look on her face gradually faded away, and then she returned to her previous cold and unapproachable appearance. Her voice was so soft that it seemed as if she had no human touch at all.

"Mother probably acted like this because she knew that he was not Aunt Mei's son."

"The person my mother wanted me to marry has always been Aunt Mei's son. In my mother's heart, as long as he is Aunt Mei's son, he is good, no matter whether I like it or not, or whether I am willing or not."

"Jianjia, that's not what I meant..." Mrs. Lu's tone was a little stiff, and her momentum was naturally much weaker.

What Lu Jianjia said was indeed what she was thinking.

In the past, she only thought of Li Mu as Shanmei's son, so everything about Li Mu was good.

Just like her fairy-like sister, how could she be wrong in any way?

However, these words made Mrs. Lu feel a little embarrassed.

"Mother, please go back. Don't let father stay in the teahouse all day. After all, he is the left prime minister of the dynasty. Besides, it is not appropriate for mother to live here now that the young master has returned home."

Lu Jianjia's tone was flat. Although she said it with a smile, there was no emotion in that smile.

Only then did Mrs. Lu realize that this was Lu Jianjia, the Lu Jianjia she had always been.

Since when did Lu Jianjia start to become human, to learn how to joke, to act coquettishly, and to consider other people's feelings?

It seemed like it was after returning from Qiuzhou.

During the time she spent at Linglong Waterside, Mrs. Lu would beat up the hooligans who came to cause trouble during the day, and at night she would sleep and talk with her little one.

This was an experience she had never had in the previous twenty years. She was indeed enjoying it so much that she forgot that this might be all because of the appearance of Li Mu.

In the past, Lu Jianjia was just as polite and chaste, respectful to her parents and doting on her younger brother, but she was not like a normal daughter.

She doesn't cry, doesn't make a fuss, and doesn't have temper. Except for not having any contact with men, she just accepts everything that comes her way.

Whatever she said to Prime Minister Lu, Lu Jianjia would do...

"Jianjia, now that your mother is back, you..."

"Don't worry, mother. Now that we have no engagement, if you are willing, I can be your maid here. As long as I can see you every day..."

"No!" Upon hearing Lu Jianjia's words, Madam Lu raised her eyebrows, grabbed her wrist, and walked out of the house.

"Your father is the left prime minister of the dynasty. You are the daughter of the prime minister's mansion. How can you be a maid for others? Go back with your mother now."

"Okay, whatever mother says is what it is, we will go back now."

Mrs. Lu had just taken two steps when her body trembled violently. When she heard Lu Jianjia's words, she couldn't help but let the tears fall from her eyes.

"Jianjia, you..."

"Let's go, Mom. Daddy should still be waiting."

Lu Jianjia said this lightly, and regardless of Mrs. Lu's objection, she hugged her shoulders and disappeared on the spot.

What Mrs. Lu didn't notice was that before Lu Jianjia left, she turned around and blinked at Ying Yu.

"Oh no! Xiao Zhao will go tell the Master right now!"

Seeing the two leave, Xiao Zhao seemed to react and turned around to walk towards the inner courtyard.

"stop!"

However, Ying Yu held her back.

But the voice was so soft and fierce that it didn't sound very intimidating.

"Sister Xiaoyu?" Xiao Zhao turned to look at Ying Yu, his eyes full of questions.

Ying Yu raised his chin, glanced at the girls, and said seriously:

"I brought Xiao Jianjia back. I am responsible for this matter. Before that, you are not allowed to tell the young master. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Sister Xiaoyu..."

Under the pressure of Ying Yu's "tyranny", several women came one after another.

"Hmm?" Ying Yu looked at Yin Huanping who did not express her opinion.

Seeing this, Yin Huanping had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,

"Got it, Xiaoyu...Sister!"
