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

Not long after.

Li Mu, wearing a brand new scholar's robe, stood at the gate of the inner courtyard looking around uncomfortably, muttering to himself,

"Where is Li Ling'er? Would it be inappropriate for me to just walk in like this?"

At this moment, Li Mu saw out of the corner of his eye a young girl walking slowly in the inner courtyard.

The girl was wearing an indigo palace dress. She had a dignified demeanor, curved eyebrows and eyes, and seemed to have a smile on her face all the time. While she was moving, her eyes were always on Li Mu.

When the girl came closer, Li Mu could see her face clearly.

She had skin as translucent as tender lotus roots, a pointed chin, and a cherry-like mouth that was slightly pursed. Facing Li Mu's gaze, her pair of crystal clear eyes slightly avoided it.

The girl has a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which not only does not affect her appearance, but gives her a unique charm.

For a moment, Li Mu seemed to remember a vague figure.

During my student days, a smile, a whiff of fragrance, and just an unintentional touch of my little finger could make me obsessed and excited for a long time.

Li Mu could no longer remember that face, but the girl in front of him aroused his emotions again.

At this moment, the girl's voice broke Li Mu's thoughts.

"Second brother."

Hearing this, Li Mu came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and thought,

"This name seems a bit strange."

But he didn't say anything else, but asked the girl directly:

"Ling'er asked me to come find her. Where is she?"

The girl did not answer Li Mu's question, but turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, and said softly:

"My sister asked me to take you in."

Li Mu nodded and followed the girl into the inner courtyard. What puzzled Li Mu was that he hardly saw any other maids along the way.

"There aren't many maids in the inner courtyard, and many of them were injured before, so my sister asked them to rest."

The girl didn't look back, but seemed to know what Li Mu was thinking, and began to explain to Li Mu.

Li Mu remained silent, somewhat curious about the girl's identity, thinking,

"Her sister is Li Ling'er, or the sister-in-law of the King of Yan. I don't remember Li Ling'er saying that she has a younger sister. Brother is not the name used for men in Xing Dynasty."

Thinking about it, Li Mu did not hesitate and asked directly:

"Who is the girl?"

"I am just a little maid in the palace."

The girl seemed to know what Li Mu was going to ask and answered without thinking.

Li Mu was secretly complaining.

"Are you trying to be clever with me? I've never seen a maid dressed like this."

Then Li Mu was stunned for a moment, looked at his clothes, glanced at the girl, then looked at himself, and thought to himself,

"This can't be a coincidence, it can't be."

"But the girl just called me 'Second Brother'."

Li Mu was a little unwilling to give up and continued to ask, thinking,

"No matter if you are a maid or not, I am the boss in this palace now. Um, I am the second in command. Oh my god, I am really the second in command."

"elder brother?"

The girl hesitated for a moment before shouting uncertainly.

Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly. He was not going to continue this topic, thinking,

"You can call me whatever you want."

He no longer bothered about the girl's identity. Since she was unwilling to speak directly, Li Mu was too lazy to bother her anymore.

At this time, the girl said:

"Xiao Zhao said that brother doesn't like the word 'two'. I just forgot to remember it. Don't be angry, brother."

Hearing the girl calling him "brother" over and over again, Li Mu felt something was a little strange.

"This girl seems to have done this on purpose."

"We are here. Brother, go to the pavilion and take a rest. I will go and tell sister."

Without waiting for Li Mu to ask any more questions, the girl suddenly stopped and pointed at the pavilion at the end of the corridor and said.

Hearing this, Li Mu looked up and thought to himself

"This backyard is much bigger than the front yard. There's even such a large artificial lake. Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves."

Then he looked towards the pavilion in the lake and saw a girl sitting in the pavilion. It was Su Yuwei.

His face lit up with joy, and he hurried towards the pavilion in two steps, thinking to himself,

"I didn't see this girl when I woke up. Now she's here."

In the blink of an eye, Li Mu arrived at the pavilion. Looking at Su Yuwei, who looked a little haggard, with red eyes and tears on her face, he asked hurriedly:

"What's wrong? Did Li Ling'er bully you again? Tell me and I'll take care of her."

At this time, Su Yuwei seemed to have just noticed someone approaching. She turned around and found that it was Li Mu. Her expression was happy at first, but immediately became gloomy again.

Li Mu was a little puzzled and subconsciously wanted to hug Su Yuwei, but he heard Su Yuwei suddenly yell:

"Stay back!"

Li Mu immediately stopped, looked at Su Yuwei blankly, and was about to ask.

Su Yuwei suddenly stood up, raised her hand and drew the long sword from her waist, pointing it at Li Mu.

Li Mu hurriedly stepped back and left the pavilion. At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone on Li Mu's face. Li Mu was suddenly struck by lightning and murmured:

"It's you! Why?"

With a flash of sword light, Su Yuwei's sword had already stabbed towards Li Mu's heart.

Li Mu felt sad. He raised his hand and pointed, just as he was about to restrain Su Yuwei, he saw the tip of the sword slightly deflected and the target became his shoulder.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Li Mu's heart, and he gave up the idea of ​​fighting with Su Yuwei. He moved his mind and prepared to condense his true energy on his shoulders.

Unexpectedly, the Qi Sea that was originally full was now empty, and no true Qi could be mobilized at all.

At the same time, Su Yuwei, who had drawn her sword to stab Li Mu, saw Li Mu's raised sword, smiled bitterly in her heart, then moved the sword a few points outwards, closed her eyes and rushed towards Li Mu.

At the same time, in the shadow of the eaves in the distance.

Xu Youzhi looked at the woman beside her who was watching the show with a sweet smile on her face, and said helplessly:

"How are we going to explain this later?"

Zhang Hanrui, who was concentrating on the situation in the pavilion, said indifferently:

"Just tell the truth. I'm doing this for their own good. I want to teach them a lesson."

Xu Youzhi was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully:

"What a memory."

Zhang Hanrui blinked her beautiful eyes and said confidently:

"She ignored her master and went down the mountain for less than half a month before she became someone's maid. She was also cheated of her body."

Then he paused, frowned slightly, and spoke with some anger in his tone.

"They caused me to be seriously injured, so I just tried to scare them. It was a relief for them."

Xu Youzhi, who was standing by, felt something was not right the more she listened, and muttered quietly,

"This is not just for venting anger."

Zhang Hanrui naturally heard these words, but she did not refute them. Instead, she continued to watch the show of Li Mu and the other man with interest.
