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

Chapter 411: The guest becomes the host, and Grandma Bai becomes furious.

"Sir, are you sure you want to use Gu?"

Grandma Bai's expression changed, she glanced at Bai Luofu and asked for confirmation.

"What else? What else do you have in your Witch Doctor family that is as valuable as that box of twins?"

Li Mu asked back in a relaxed tone.

These words immediately left Grandma Bai speechless.

If there were only one or two twin plants, she, the doctor Wu, could still produce something of equivalent value.

But there are more than a hundred of them...even the Manwu clan a hundred years ago couldn't produce them.

The expression on his face changed, and he said in a casual tone:

"Then I heard it wrong, old woman. I thought the prince came to treat Wu Shi for Xiao Fuhua."

Grandmother Bai waved her hand, her tone seemed to be joking.

"I just saw you being close to my grandson, so I asked you one more question. It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

At this time, Bai Luofu was hiding behind Bai A Niang. When she heard the question from Bai's grandmother, her heart rose to her throat.

She was still wondering what would happen if Li Mu really asked her for him.

Should she throw herself into Li Mu's arms directly, or be more reserved like her beautiful sister...

However, after hearing Li Mu's answer, her originally rosy little face suddenly turned pale.

"How dare I have such a beautiful dream? I'm already satisfied if my brother doesn't blame me, but I still have delusions...delusions..."

In an instant, she fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. Bai Luofu secretly laughed at herself for being so wishful.

"Yes, in my mother's eyes, I am nothing more than an ugly girl worth a pair of twins."

Li Mu felt a little unhappy when he saw Grandmother Bai's hypocritical look.

In his opinion, this old man was really in a dilemma.

Li Mu was very familiar with those PUA rhetoric.

Right from the start, he used Bai Luofu to play the emotional card, but his real purpose was to accuse Bai A Niang, the clan leader, of not doing her job well.

Li Mu just tested him a little bit, and the old guy didn't even pretend.

"You want me to do something? Do you think I'm your Bai family's cattle and horses?"

"Misunderstanding? I wonder what did you misunderstand?"

Li Mu had no intention of letting Grandmother Bai go, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Hearing this, Grandmother Bai glanced at Bai Luozhi beside her, but did not continue Li Mu's words:

"If the prince is willing to agree to one thing from me, we can discuss this Gu."

"Ha!" Li Mu showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and without hesitation, he spread his hands and said,

"Forget it, give me back the twins."

When they heard that Li Mu actually wanted to take back Bingdi, the faces of the Bai family members present changed.

Bai A Niang was the first to stand up and accuse:

"Isn't this the betrothal gift you sent to marry Fu Fu? My mother has already agreed to your marriage with Fu Fu, so how can you take it back?"

"Dowry?" Li Mu pretended to be clueless and looked at Grandmother Bai with a puzzled look.

"Well, that was just something I said to deal with the elders. The prince never mentioned anything about a betrothal gift."

At this time, Bai Luozhi knelt down in front of Grandmother Bai with a plop, with a faint blush on both sides of her cheeks.

Obviously, she felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of Li Mu.

Grandmother Bai glared at Bai Luozhi, frowning, then relaxed in an instant, smiling and trying to smooth things over:

"I think it's because my little Fuhua was saved by the prince before and she admired him. That's why Zhizhi, as his elder sister, would..."

"It was because I didn't discipline my child well, and the prince laughed at me."

"It's okay, it's okay. This prince still likes Fu Fu very much."

When they heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts, but then they heard Li Mu say,

"I just didn't expect that I would be misunderstood as using a pair of flowers to buy your Bai family's daughter. It's all my fault for not making it clear beforehand."

Li Mu emphasized the word "buy".

If Grandmother Bai had not been very confident in her own abilities, she would have made sure that no one had eavesdropped on their conversation in the clan hall.

Otherwise, everyone would think that Li Mu was deliberately slapping her in the face.

"Originally, I should have agreed to the prince's request, but my family of doctors and witches has an ancestral teaching..."

"Then it won't be difficult for you, Senior. Give me the twins and I will leave the Southern Region right away."

Li Mu interrupted immediately, obviously leaving no room for negotiation.

As soon as the words fell, you could hear a pin drop in the hall, and the atmosphere reached freezing point.

Grandma Bai stared at the young man in front of her, her inner energy was faintly visible, and it was obvious that she was suppressing her anger.

Asking her to return the twins would be worse than taking her life.

At this moment, Bai Luofu walked quickly to the center of the hall, bent her legs, and knelt on the ground.

"Mother, since, since we cannot agree to the request of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then just return the twins as we said before."

"I, I will work hard to improve my cultivation, and I will bring back my twin daughters for my mother next year."

Everyone could hear that Bai Luofu's voice was choked with sobs.

Ge Peining, who was standing aside, had a hint of doubt in her eyes and looked at Li Mu calmly.

But Li Mu was staring at Bai Luofu without blinking, his eyes full of pity.

After a moment of surprise, he suddenly realized something and simply lowered his head, pretending that what was happening at the moment had nothing to do with him.

Grandma Bai glanced at Bai Luofu, and then she also noticed Li Mu's gaze.

The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up a barely perceptible smile, and he pretended to sigh:

"In that case, Zhizhi, return the twins to the prince."

Then he looked at Bai A Niang and said:

"Jigen, you take His Royal Highness back. By the way, tell the merchants to come to Yiwu's tomorrow. The marriage between that brat and Fufu should be settled."

Although Grandma Bai said this, her eyes never left the wooden box.

However, Li Mu acted as if he didn't hear her words. Without waiting for Bai Luozhi to step forward, he moved his fingers slightly.

The wooden box and the cloth bag fell into his hands at the same time.

Then he turned and left without saying a word.

Grandma Bai watched Li Mu leave and her breathing became heavier.

One step, two steps, three steps, as Li Mu got closer and closer to the door, Grandma Bai finally lost her patience.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him to stay, he saw Li Mu's footsteps suddenly pause, then he quickly closed his mouth, with an indifferent look on his face.

"Senior, the twin flowers seem to be missing...did they fall somewhere?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mu turned around and said these words leisurely.

Grandma Bai's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"The old woman used thirteen petals before."

"This..." Li Mu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said,

"How about this, the three petals will be a gift, and as for the remaining two, I wonder when you can return them?"

"..."

Grandma Bai stared at Li Mu for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said in a cold tone,

"Two twin plants, the Yiwu Clan can't afford it. If the prince likes Fu Fu, I can let you take her away and we'll write off the matter. Is the prince willing?"

"Husband, it's almost done..."

At this time, Ge Peining leaned close to Li Mu's ear and reminded him in a low voice.
