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

Chapter 728 Maid An Nan.

On the corridor.

Li Mu walked quickly. Zhao Chuyi's sudden invitation really made him angry.

Of course he could see what Zhao Chuyi felt for him, but he was even more angry at her inexplicable endurance of humiliation.

He said that day that as long as Zhao Chuyi asked, he would be willing to clear the way for her, and all obstacles would not be a problem for him.

What he cared about was Zhao Chuyi's distrust of him.

Li Mu had an inexplicable feeling of being very familiar with pushing a princess to the position of empress.

It’s as if there was a successful case once upon a time.

If Zhao Chuyi argued with him about other things, Li Mu would be able to tolerate it, and even cooperate with her to teach the girl a lesson.

For Li Mu, these can be considered as interests.

But the only thing Li Mu couldn't tolerate was wanting to cheat on him.

This girl has such a righteous idea. If she really wants to become the emperor, she can do it later.

Li Mu can be open-minded about some things, but about some things, Li Mu can be overbearing to the point of paranoia.

Since Zhao Chuyi is restless, she is not the right person in his plan.

From now on, you just need to be a good wife and mother!

Li Mu never interferes with the careers of the women around him, and most of the time he even provides support.

Zhao Chuyi was the first person to cross the red line.

It's just a righteous title, and Li Mu has it. His family also has a Princess Linglong, whose status covers two dynasties.

While thinking, Li Mu had already returned to his own courtyard.

However, before entering the door, I saw two familiar figures standing in the yard.

"What are you doing?"

In the yard, Ying Yu and Li Ling'er each held a copper basin filled with water above their heads.

Hearing Li Mu's voice, everyone looked over.

Li Mu looked at the two of them in surprise, and then heard Ying Yu speak first,

"Standing in the corner."

"Master, we have been standing here for two hours. Are you still angry?"

Ying Yu carefully observed Li Mu's expression, and saw that his brows were furrowed and his neck shrank, and then he quickly closed his mouth.

Li Mu raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then took the copper basin from Ying Yu's head.

With a casual throw, the copper basin landed steadily on the stone table in the yard, and not even a drop of water spilled out of the basin that was about to overflow.

Li Mu bent down and picked up Ying Yu. As soon as his hands touched her slender waist, he noticed her body tremble violently.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then Ying Yu took the initiative to hug Li Mu's neck and said excitedly,

"Sir, you're not angry anymore?"

Li Mu didn't think much about it. He held Ying Yu and sat down at the stone table. He kissed her cheek affectionately and said unhappily,

"Who said I was angry?"

Li Ling'er watched eagerly from beginning to end.

For a moment, I felt that the copper basin in my hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Ying Yu felt the warmth on her cheek and shrank her neck slightly. Then she took the initiative to move forward and kissed the corner of Li Mu's mouth, reminding him in a soft voice,

"Sir, Ling'er is still standing."

Li Mu frowned and looked at Li Ling'er.

"I never said I would punish her, and I have no right to do so. Her standing has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Li Linger pursed her thin lips into a line and looked at Li Mu with a look that was both aggrieved and stubborn. She wanted to argue, but didn't know what to say.

Li Mu felt annoyed when he saw Li Ling'er like this.

It's like this for one or two people.

With a wave of his hand, the copper basin above Li Linger's head was knocked to the ground.

"Ah~"

Then, a woman's frightened voice sounded behind Li Ling'er.

"I know my crime, I know my crime!"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and tilted his head slightly, only then did he realize that there was a woman kneeling behind Li Ling'er.

The woman was wearing the clothes of a maid in the mansion, and her hair and clothes were wet.

The woman lowered her head and her face could not be seen clearly, but Li Mu saw the blood oozing from her forehead at a glance.

Second Austrian!

Li Mu cursed inwardly, put Ying Yu on the stone bench beside him and walked over quickly.

Obviously, Zhao Chuyi's impression of him was not as calm as it seemed.

He didn't even notice such a living person.

"Who told you to stand here?"

Li Mu pulled the woman up from the ground. At the same time, a lump of ointment appeared on his thumb, and his tone softened a lot.

"Bear with it, don't worry, it won't leave scars."

Li Ling'er watched Li Mu pass by her and turned around stiffly. The flames of jealousy made her lose her mind.

Li Mu cared so tenderly for a little maid, but he didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Li Ling'er clenched her fists, stepped forward and pushed the maid to the ground, staring straight at Li Mu.

"Li Mu!"

Li Mu frowned and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with impatience.

"what you do!"

"I..." Li Ling'er pursed her lips, her chest heaving, and then she seemed to muster up her courage and shouted loudly,

"Can't you see how I feel about you?"

"Everything was fine before, why did you suddenly treat me like this?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and a soft look flashed in his eyes. However, after a moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He bent down, put his head close to Li Linger's ear, and whispered,

"Feelings? If I kill your dear second brother, how long can your feelings last?"

"No, no!"

Li Linger's face turned pale for a moment, and she reached out to grab Li Mu's sleeve.

Shan Yuan said that he could exchange his life for Li Mu's life.

So he cannot die, and even more so cannot be killed by Li Mu.

In order to make Shanyuan willing, she deliberately maintained a brother-sister relationship with him for such a long time...

"Oh, it's not up to you!"

Li Mu straightened up, and the gentle face in his dream appeared before his eyes.

He was sure that he had no feelings for Shan Mei and was determined to avenge her, partly because of his aunt and the old man.

Furthermore, the conflict between him and Shanyuan was irreconcilable.

All in all, Li Mu would not admit that he developed feelings for a stranger because of a dream.

Even compared to the threat posed by Shanyuan to himself, what he wanted to do more was to avenge a woman.

"elder brother!"

Li Ling'er was a little panicked and pulled Li Mu's sleeve hard. The words were on the tip of her tongue but she didn't know how to say them.

Let’s not talk about whether Li Mu will believe it or not. Even if Li Mu believes it, I’m afraid he won’t appreciate it.

Li Linger pursed her lips, looking aggrieved. She knew that Li Mu would be easily fooled by this, so her little hand moved from her sleeve to Li Mu's palm.

"Step aside!"

Li Mu didn't want to get entangled with Li Ling'er anymore.

This was the last time to test Li Linger. Her attitude towards Shan Yuan made it impossible for him to continue with his thoughts.

Li Mu can be blinded by lust, or he can be cold and ruthless.

He cannot trust those who are biased towards Shanyuan.

After all, the person he wanted to kill was the other person's biological brother, and he couldn't be so heartless as to be affectionate with him.

Instead of this, it’s better not to continue to dwell on it.

Li Mu stepped forward and helped the little maid up. He was too lazy to investigate why this woman, who was innocently implicated by him, appeared in his courtyard.

After taking a look at the woman's scratched palm, he simply took out a whole bottle of ice cream and handed it to her.

"Use this to stop bleeding without leaving scars."

"Whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, there should be rules in this mansion. This is not the place for you to come..."

As Li Mu was speaking, his eyes swept across the maid's face.

Phoenix eyes, rosy cheeks, and skin as white as cream, especially those eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Li Mu felt as if he had seen them somewhere.

Compared with the graceful women in the capital, the woman's appearance is more three-dimensional.

She feels like a mixed-race beauty.

If it weren't for the ugly scar that extended from the corner of the eye to the chin, she would be no less ugly than Liu Mingyan.

Li Mu frowned, and seeing the woman looking down at the medicine bottle in her hand, he said in a deep voice,

"May I have your name."

Then, when he saw the woman looking up, he pointed to his cheek and said, "What's going on here?"

Li Mu didn't have a deep impression of the maids in the mansion, and he had never even seen many of them.

But such a shocking scar forced him to ask more questions.

The woman raised her head, her eyes slightly lowered, not daring to look Li Mu in the eye. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover the scar and whispered,

"Sir, I, your servant An Nan, brought it back last night."
