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

Li Mu nodded.

"Okay, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have some things to deal with right now, so I won't see you off."

Lu Sangtuo seemed to have heard some great news and didn't care at all about Li Mu's action of chasing him away.

While running out of the hall, he said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, just take care of your own business. I will go right away and make sure that this matter is handled beautifully."

...

...

Wait for Lu Sangtuo to leave.

Li Mu still felt that this boy was somewhat unreliable, so he went to the inner courtyard to find Su Yuwei.

He told her what had just happened and asked her to use the power of the Zongheng family to spread the matter, the bigger the better.

When Su Yuwei saw that Li Mu asked her to do something, she looked very excited.

Besides, Su Yuwei is a very smart person. She already understood Li Mu's intention before Li Mu finished telling the story.

He just said hesitantly: "Then will Miss Lu really marry the Ninth Young Master of King Jiang?"

Li Mu didn't think much about it and said without hesitation: "That's their business. We don't need to worry about it."

"But she is your wife-to-be, after all. And didn't you say that Miss Lu's crush is on the man called Miao Hu?"

Su Yuwei's voice was a little low, and it was obvious that she was not very confident when she said this.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said jokingly, "So Yu Wei wants me to marry Lu Jianjia and then help them get married?"

"How can that be done!"

Li Mu smiled and said nothing more.

Fortunately, Su Yuwei is not a real saint, and she can probably understand Su Yuwei's feelings.

Put yourself in Li Mu’s shoes. If he encountered such a situation, he would probably run away if he couldn’t win.

If force fails, the worst that can happen is that you can just run away with your loved one.

Thinking of this, Li Mu sighed slightly, "Let's go find Lu Jianjia again."

If he was willing to elope with the boy, Li Mu would certainly be willing to help her.

If she is unwilling, she can talk to Song Chi again with the same conditions. Maybe Song Chi will be possessed by Fei Yangyang and really agree.

Li Mu thought about it and went straight out of Linglong Water Pavilion and headed towards the outer city.

Lu Sangtuo had said before that Lu Jianjia was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion now and would not return for a while.

Li Mu knew where she was just by thinking with his butt.

Not long after, Li Mu arrived at a small courtyard in the outer city.

From a distance, I saw Miao Hu chopping firewood in the yard.

Li Mu did not try the trick of observing secretly. He just pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

Miao Hu was obviously startled when he saw Li Mu walk into the yard. He immediately gripped the axe in his hand tightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally threw the axe away, bowed and said:

"I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this time, a pretty figure walked out of the house. When she saw Li Mu, the smile on her face suddenly froze and she couldn't say a word.

"Miss Lu, we meet again."

Li Mu ignored Miao Hu and walked straight into the house.

"Small…"

Miao Hu was about to speak when Xiao Li glared at him back.

Seeing that Li Mu had already walked up to him, he took two steps back and let him into the house.

Then with a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Miao Hu, still with his head down, glanced at the axe thrown on the ground and clenched and unclenched the fist in his sleeve.

His eyes were red and his breathing became rapid.

The next moment, he bent down and picked up the axe on the ground.

...

piece.

Two pieces.

Continue chopping dry wood.

His mouth opened wide as if he was about to roar, but no sound came out.

in the house.

Li Mu, standing in front of the door, listened to the sound of chopping wood in the yard, shook his head secretly, and said with a smile:

"Ms. Lu, your husband is really...really hardworking."

Xiaoli frowned and looked at Li Mu. After meeting Li Mu that day disguised as Lu Jianjia, she left the Prime Minister's Mansion with her brother Hu Zi.

She never thought that Li Mu would find this place.

However, as a maid who grew up with Lu Jianjia, she did not show any fear at this time and said:

"Don't worry, my lord. I wonder why you came here?"

Li Mu stared at Xiaoli, took light steps and slowly approached her.

Seeing this, Xiaoli's expression finally became a little panicked. She looked towards the door unconsciously, with her hands clenched tightly on her chest.

Hearing the sound of chopping wood in the yard, he closed his eyes, lowered his hands, gritted his teeth and said:

"As long as you don't hurt Brother Huzi, I..."

"Ms. Lu, stop standing, sit down and talk."

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Xiaoli paused, opened her eyes and looked, but did not see Li Mu.

He turned around immediately and realized that Li Mu had just passed by him and sat down at the table behind her.

Li Mu saw the doubt in Xiaoli's heart and said:

"Last time at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Lu's proposal would probably make any man angry, so I hope you will forgive me for the offense I caused to Miss Lu."

Xiaoli walked to the table but did not sit down. She looked at Li Mu in doubt and thought for a moment.

"Your Highness is right. It was indeed my fault that I spoke out of turn first. It is not Your Highness's fault."

"I have a question, and I hope Miss Lu can answer it truthfully."

Li Mu put away the smile on his face and spoke.

"Excuse me, my lord."

Xiaoli said without hesitation.

"Miss Lu really never kept a lover?"

Hearing this, Xiaoli's face showed some anger, but she didn't dare to show it.

Then she raised her right hand and said, "No! If you don't believe me, I can swear on it."

"No need to swear, I don't believe in this."

Li Mu interrupted and swung out a stream of true energy, which passed by Xiaoli and opened the door with a snap.

Xiaoli glanced behind her and saw Miao Hu in the yard turning around just as he heard the noise. When their eyes met, their expressions were somewhat complicated.

Then he turned around and looked at Li Mu in confusion, and heard Li Mu laugh:

"Men are all petty. Talk like this to avoid misunderstandings among the kids."

Xiaoli's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she looked at Li Mu with some surprise. She then forced a smile and sat down opposite Li Mu.

"Since Miss Lu and this boy love each other, why don't you find a place where no one knows you and live a good life with him?"

"The prince wants us to elope?"

Li Mu nodded. Seeing Xiaoli's hesitant expression, he didn't say anything more. He stood up and walked out of the house.

"I am just giving Miss Lu an idea, not making a decision for her. It is up to Miss Lu to make her own decision. That's all I have to say."

Li Mu said as he walked out.

I think this is the most I can do.

They were already in this strange world, and it was impossible for him to let Zhao Chuyi down for someone he didn't know.

If it weren't for Su Yuwei's reaction today, he wouldn't have wanted to come here at all.

"Prince, please stay!"

At this time, Xiaoli in the room suddenly called out to Li Mu.

Li Mu turned around and heard Xiao Li say, "This marriage is ordered by His Majesty. The Prime Minister's Office will never do anything to disobey the imperial decree. If the prince has the ability, he can ask His Majesty to revoke the order."

Li Mu frowned and saw that Xiaoli was firm in her attitude and it was obvious that she was not speaking in anger.

He immediately turned around and looked at Miao Hu who was standing in the yard, and said coldly:

"I just said that men are stingy. If you marry me, do you think this boy can survive?"

However, Xiaoli was unmoved this time and said firmly:

"When Brother Huzi dies, I will be buried with him. But no matter what, I will never do anything that will harm the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Seeing this, Li Mu was too lazy to say anything. He snorted coldly and disappeared from the spot.

...

After a long time, Miao Hu saw Li Mu leaving, so he strode towards Xiao Li, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask something but said nothing.

Xiaoli glared at Miao Hu in annoyance and said in a dissatisfied tone:

"Your Highness is right. Men are really petty. It only takes a few words from the time you enter the room, close the door, to the time you open it. What is it that you can't ask?"

Hearing this, Miao Hu was obviously relieved and asked awkwardly:

"Why don't we tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiaoli shook her head and said:

"After informing the young lady of the content of the conversation with the prince that day."

"Although the young lady said she was willing to marry the prince, I know she is unwilling to do so."

"Besides, given the young lady's situation, even if she gets married, how can she get along with His Highness?"

"It is better to let His Highness continue to misunderstand that I am the lady. Only then will His Highness, who is stingy, try to cancel the engagement."

"..."

"How do you know that His Royal Highness is stingy?"

Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Miao Hu and smiled softly, "Because His Highness is also a man!"
