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

Chapter 648: The wife of the Grand Marshal.

Shan Yuan quickly caught up with Li Ling'er. Before he could speak, he heard Li Ling'er ask with some guilt,

"Second brother, did Ling'er embarrass you?"

"Ling'er, don't think like that. Second brother is very happy."

Shanyuan's eyes were full of tenderness, and he was very pleased with Li Linger's overbearing concern.

He could see that Li Ling'er was willing to accept him in the beginning only because of his words that he was willing to "protect Li Mu from disaster."

But these days of getting along with each other really made him deeply involved.

Then the more he was attached to this family affection, the less he could tell whether Li Linger's feelings were genuine or fake.

Now, he is more willing to believe that Li Ling'er truly accepts him as her second brother.

Li Linger pursed her lips, turned her head and looked at Shan Yuan, and said in a worried tone,

"Second brother, is that Mu Li the same as you, also in the Primordial Realm?"

"Hunyuan?" Shan Yuan shook his head, contempt flashed in his eyes, and he said in a proud tone,

"It's just a small trick with the help of external objects. He is an external martial artist."

……

"Is this the thing?"

In the stands, Mu Zhen looked at the fruit core in his hand, which was the size of a grain of rice, and sighed.

Just now, Li Mu was able to launch an attack of no less than one level with just this thing, which shocked him.

At this time, the fruit core had changed from beige to dark brown. It was obvious that the spiritual energy contained in it had been consumed by Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, looked around the room, and said,

"The origins of those people are unknown, and there may be trouble at today's summit."

Mu Zhen frowned, crushed the fruit core with two fingers, and said in a deep voice,

"There are no less than ten celestial beings and more than thirty Hunyuan in this venue today. Unless there are more than 100,000 fully armored troops, otherwise..."

"Teacher, is the prince here today?"

At this time, Li Mu interrupted.

Mu Zhen looked up at the royal seats, but did not see Crown Prince Zhao Chuxi. He thought for a moment and said,

"It's almost time. The prince might be in the council chamber... Do you suspect those people are related to the royal family?"

Li Mu shook his head, not quite sure.

"The workmanship of those mechanical crossbows was either done by the Yin Yang Family's Weapon Refining Hall, or... by Mo City."

After that, the two looked at each other.

Mu Zhen laughed out loud immediately, "It just so happens that I'll go ask Old Ghost Mo."

"Why are you two uncle and nephew so happy?"

At this time, Murong Jinxiu lifted the wheelchair to Mu Zhen's side with one hand, her eyes full of smiles.

Liu Minglan stood obediently behind the wheelchair, stole a glance at Li Mu and then quickly looked away.

Mu Zhen stood up, but did not jump onto the wheelchair as usual. Instead, he stretched out his hand and gave Li Mu a look.

Li Mu hurriedly supported Mu Zhen and walked to the wheelchair little by little.

Mu Zhen raised the corner of his mouth and sighed softly, "It's just a dream, but it's not bad."

Li Mu did not say anything, but just looked at Murong Jinxiu thoughtfully.

I should still be able to have children.

Compared to Shen Sanniang, this Taiwei's wife was obviously better maintained and looked no more than forty years old...

Eh?

Li Mu suddenly recalled something. Sun Poju, the son of General Sun, looked older than Murong Jinxiu, so he must be at least fifty years old.

But the grandson of the Taiwei, Sun Hongyu, is also over 30 years old.

Murong Jinxiu called Mu Zhen "Brother Mu". If she wasn't being polite, then she wouldn't be over 58 years old...

The Sun family has only one descendant, and I have never heard that the father and son were born out of wedlock.

General Sun is almost ninety this year...the age doesn't fit!

Thinking of this, Li Mu stepped forward, grabbed Liu Minglan's wrist, and said to Murong Jinxiu who looked back curiously,

"Excuse me, Aunt Murong. I have something to say to Ming Lan."

Hearing this, Murong Jinxiu's eyes lit up and she gave Li Mu a look of gratitude. Just as she was about to push the wheelchair for Mu Zhen, she saw that the wheelchair did not stop at all and drove towards the direction of the parliament hall.

Murong Jinxiu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, then she clenched it tightly and hurriedly chased after him.

Liu Minglan was dragged by Li Mu, her cheeks slightly flushed, she struggled a little, but finally broke free, and said angrily,

"Brother Li, Minglan, Minglan already has a lover, please respect yourself."

After what happened before, she realized that she had made a huge mistake. Now she could only suppress her reluctance and hope to make amends for it.

But when these words are spoken, it sounds like they are half-hearted.

After all, the person opposite her was Li Mu. If she was really asked to refuse, even if it was just acting, she still couldn't be so firm.

What Li Ling'er said was right. Subconscious reactions cannot deceive people.

Li Mu was a little embarrassed. After traveling through time for so long, this was the first time he heard the three words "please respect yourself". He bowed to Liu Minglan to express his apology, and then walked with her while gossiping,

"Do you know when Aunt Murong married into the Taiwei Mansion?"

"Ok?"

Liu Minglan was a little surprised. She looked up at Li Mu and asked tentatively after a long while.

"Why do you ask these questions, brother Li?"

"curious."

"Is there any taboo? Can't tell anyone?"

Li Mu asked.

Liu Minglan shook her head and raised her cherry lips, "Brother Li is not being honest. You want to ask about the teacher and Uncle Mu, right?"

Li Mu remained noncommittal. His question was so obvious that it was not surprising to be noticed.

Liu Minglan lifted her eyelids, touched her pink lips with her fingers, and said,

"The teacher has always been very good to me..."

"I'll ask someone else."

Without waiting for Liu Minglan to finish speaking, Li Mu quickened his pace and left.

Liu Minglan puffed up her cheeks, frowned, squatted and stamped her feet, and chased after him.

"Wait, wait a minute, Brother Li, there are many things that only I know. Wait a minute, if you don't ask me, you will regret it!"

Li Mu slowed down his pace and tilted his head to look at Liu Minglan. "Speak."

"Promise me one thing and I'll tell you!"

Liu Minglan pouted, obviously angry.

Li Mu turned his head and made a gesture to leave again.

Liu Minglan gritted her teeth and hurriedly stopped Li Mu, saying weakly,

"Hongwen four years..."

"I asked you to state the conditions." Li Mu interrupted.

Immediately, Liu Minglan's eyes lit up, and she jumped three feet high, resisting the urge to rush up and hug Li Mu, and said shyly,

"Brother Li, you just heard it. I, I have a lover..."

"The prince of Prince Yan's Mansion." Li Mu continued.

Liu Minglan nodded quickly, then stretched out her tongue to lick her dry lips, and then said shyly,

"Well, he always hides from me..."

"Brother Li, you are so powerful, can you catch him and bring him to me? I want to ask him why he is so afraid of me!"

At the end of her speech, Liu Minglan clenched her fists tightly, and it was obvious that she was really angry.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Yes."

Hearing this, Liu Minglan's eyes sparkled with cunning, and he grinned, "Thank you, Brother Li. If he doesn't like me, can you help me beat him up?"

Li Mu turned his head and glanced at Liu Minglan. He felt that this girl had seen through his identity and was teasing him on purpose. After a moment of silence, he said coldly,

"Don't push yourself too far."

Liu Minglan shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and said "oh" weakly before she spoke.

"Teacher married into the Taiwei Mansion in the fourth year of Hongwen. Everyone in the capital knows about this."

"Tell me something that others don't know."

"Don't be impatient." Liu Minglan raised his chin, then glanced around and said in a low voice,

"The teacher married into the Taiwei Mansion to get angry with Uncle Mu. At that time, no one in the capital dared to marry the teacher because everyone knew that her heart was with Uncle Mu."

"So, the teacher used the favor of the Murong family to force Sun Taiwei to marry her."

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned, feeling that the words sounded somewhat familiar.

At this time, Liu Minglan's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily,

"In fact, it was just a rant, and the teacher didn't have to really get married. If you want to blame someone, blame Uncle Mu. He clearly promised to come and grab the bride, but he didn't come. That's why the teacher got so angry that she really became the wife of the Grand Marshal."

"Brother Mu, will you help the teacher?" Liu Minglan seemed to have thought of something, with excitement in his eyes.

However, Li Mu shook his head and said, "Others shouldn't and can't interfere in this kind of thing."
