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

I saw it written on the cloth.

I am Li Mu,

Based on the principle of seven days no-reason return and exchange,

Now Xu Youzhi,

Brackets, unopened, brackets completed,

Return it to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

From now on, Xu Youzhi is no longer my concubine, Li Mu.

She is free. 】

At the end of the signature, Li Mu’s name is written.

After reading the contents on the cloth, Xu Youzhi looked at Zhang Hanrui in astonishment, and saw her lazily say,

"Let's leave the rest of the matter to you and Ling'er."

Having said that, he rubbed Xu Youzhi's head, then turned and left.

Xu Youzhi knew that Zhang Hanrui's intention was to leave the matter to them.

He looked at the contents on the cloth again, word by word, and even ignored Zhang Hanrui when she left.

I felt a little annoyed.

"Nothing written, whether it's a divorce or a contract of sale, is written like this."

I saw the words "he is free" and was lost in thought.

"Am I really free?"

"Li Mu?"

Suddenly, Li Linger's doubtful voice came to my ears.

Xu Youzhi was startled by the sound and quickly balled up the cloth and hid it behind her.

"What happened to my second brother? Why are you so nervous?"

Li Ling'er looked at Xu Youzhi with suspicion and confusion.

Xu Youzhi shook her head repeatedly. She had always been smart, but at this moment she couldn't think of an excuse to explain herself.

Thinking that Li Ling'er must have seen the words "Li Mu" on the cloth, for a moment, she really had no words to evade the question.

Changing the subject, he asked,

"Ling'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Linger glanced at Xu Youzhi's hands hidden behind her back, and felt a little sad, but she still tried not to show it, and smiled and said,

"My second brother had a problem with his training, and he couldn't sleep with you right after getting married. Now he has gone to the capital. I was afraid that you would be bored staying alone in the mansion, so I thought of inviting you to the Lingyin Pavilion to listen to Runniang playing music."

Xu Youzhi was slightly stunned, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Linger continue,

"Since my brother and sister-in-law have letters to keep them company, I'd better not disturb them."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Youzhi quickly stood up, pulled Li Ling'er, slowly stretched out her hand from behind her back, and spread it in front of Li Ling'er.

"Ling'er, it's not what you think."

Li Ling'er looked at the cloth in Xu Youzhi's hand, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it and began to read the contents on it.

Seeing this, Xu Youzhi laughed secretly.

"Just now outside the mansion, I was pretending to be indifferent, but after just a short while, I can't pretend anymore."

He looked at Li Ling'er with a strange look.

"Look, look, I didn't expect Ling'er to be so sour sometimes."

"Asshole! What is this? A divorce letter?"

Li Linger slammed the cloth on the stone table and cursed.

"This pervert treated you so well, and you still wanted to hide it from me. Youzhi, don't be sad. I will catch up with him and seek justice for you!"

As he said this, he grasped the cloth in his palm and with a slight force, broke it into countless pieces.

Xu Youzhi had no time to stop it and could only sigh secretly, but she felt inexplicably relieved in her heart.

"It's not what you think. Don't be impulsive. This was given to me by my sister."

Xu Youzhi grabbed Li Linger's arm and forced her to sit next to her, explaining.

"Aunt?"

"Yes, she must have misunderstood, so she asked for this."

As he spoke, as if he was afraid that Li Ling'er would go to confront Zhang Hanrui again, he hurriedly continued,

"Since this thing has been destroyed, let's just pretend that it never happened, okay?"

"You have been wronged for nothing, you pervert. What the hell is that?"

Li Ling'er was still a little angry and said indignantly.

"It's okay. Wait until he comes back and explain everything. I won't feel wronged."

Xu Youzhi felt a slight pain in her heart when she saw Li Ling'er thinking only of her.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Ling'er, I think your previous considerations are reasonable. How can the title of King Yan be inherited by someone else's bloodline?"

Li Linger looked at Xu Youzhi in shock and opened her mouth several times but nothing came out.

"Let's plan it carefully. This matter is not that simple."

Xu Youzhi put her head close to Li Linger's ear and whispered.

"You mean, you are willing? No way, that would be too unfair to you."

Li Ling'er's ears felt itchy from the hot breath from Xu Youzhi's mouth. She raised her hand to touch her white neck and said hesitantly.

Xu Youzhi felt a little warm in her heart when she saw Li Ling'er looking down shyly. She couldn't help but think,

"This is how Ling'er should be."

Then he asked,

"Don't you think Ling'er is unwilling?"

Li Linger twisted her fingers together and remained silent for a long time before she spoke hesitantly.

"I'm doing this all for my Prince Yan's Mansion."

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi burst out laughing and sighed in her heart.

"Yes, we just lack a seemingly reasonable reason."

----

Qingfeng Temple, back mountain.

Shan Yuan looked at the man in front of him for a long time before speaking, saying calmly,

"Where is the man?"

Liang Du was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He replied in a low voice,

"Li Mu should have left the city and headed towards the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shanyuan raised his hand and waved across the teacup in front of him.

The tea in the cup flew out and hit Liangdu's shoulder, knocking him several feet away.

"Master Junior, please spare my life! Master Junior, please spare my life!"

Liangdu clearly felt that although he was not injured, the force just now was not something he could contend with.

He quickly got up, knelt down in front of Shanyuan, bowed his head to the ground, and begged for mercy.

"Where is the man?"

Shan Yuan's expression remained unchanged and he asked again.

"In a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain, I used the secret technique of Taoism to help him temporarily cover up the cause and effect. As long as he doesn't leave the yard, Li Mu won't be able to find him in a short time."

Liangdu no longer dared to hide anything and told the truth.

"He almost ruined my decades-long arrangement, but you saved him."

"I know I was wrong. I just thought he might be useful to our plan. I'm going to deal with him right now."

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Liangdu hurriedly spoke out to plead for help.

"No need. Tell him that if he wants to live, he should give this item to the Rannu people in the Gray Grassland."

As he spoke, Shanyuan threw a wooden box to Liangdu.

Liang Du picked up the wooden box, frowned slightly, and hesitated.

"Gongsun Guangda's martial arts skills may not allow him to complete the mission. If he loses this item..."

"This is not something you should care about!"

Shan Yuan was a little impatient and his voice was cold.

"As someone who has seen what's inside before, you know what to do."

"understand!"

Liang Du nodded, thought for a moment and said,

"According to the news from Prince Yan's Mansion, Li Mu suspected that there was something wrong with the "Hidden Blade Art" and he no longer cared about women. Do we need to remind him?"

Shan Yuan shook his head.

"I said that he will only believe in something if he gets it himself. Don't interfere too much unless it is necessary."

Then he laughed,

"Even my senior brother goes down the mountain every month, let alone him. Tell her that men have no resistance to such things. She knows what to do."

Liangdu held the wooden box in his hand and nodded.
