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

Chapter 379: Sisters turn against each other, Li Linger points a gun at Xu Youzhi.

Seeing that Ge Peining seemed to be really about to get angry, Li Mu knew that he had to quit while he was ahead.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, Ge Peining put her arms around Li Mu's neck and pressed his head against her chest.

Li Mu felt a darkness before his eyes, and seeing that there was such a good thing, he did not resist.

Ge Peining certainly didn't want to reward Li Mu. Instead, she grabbed his ear and complained:

"You little brat, can you please be more careful? No matter which little fairy you promised, you must stick to Sister Ping'er first this time."

"She, she..."

Ge Peining seemed unwilling to mention the title of Princess of Yan in front of Li Mu, let alone cheating on her husband.

I always felt that it was a reference to me, so I changed the subject and said angrily:

"Sister Ping'er did this all for you, can you please have a little conscience?"

At this time, Li Mu was nestling in the arms of a gentle woman, listening to Ge Peining's words and just casually agreeing with her, "I know."

He naturally knew what Yin Huanping was thinking, but it was obvious that there was no rush on this matter.

"Are you listening!"

Seeing Li Mu's appearance, Ge Peining exerted a little force with her hands and was about to pull Li Mu out of the gentle embrace.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu acted like a rogue and didn't care that his ears were still being pulled. He just held his head high and tried to get back.

Ge Peining's eyes were blazing with anger, but she didn't dare to really use force with her hands. She could only let Li Mu do what he wanted, and her tone became a little aggrieved:

"My husband is really so partial to me. If it was me that day, would my husband also be so... so heartless?"

"Good boy, Sister Ning'er is using her signature skill."

Li Mu found it funny in his heart, but he really fell for Ge Peining's trick.

Ge Peining has a very strong character, but she is always willing to give in in front of Li Mu, which gives Li Mu an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Li Mu stood up slowly, held Ge Peining's cheeks with both hands, and said with a smile:

"Alright, alright. I'll listen to Sister Ning'er. I'll do whatever Sister Ning'er tells me to do."

A sly look flashed across Ge Peining's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but her voice was still soft and tender:

"It can't be that I asked my husband to do it, it's that my husband has to show Sister Ping'er an attitude. In fact, Sister Ping'er didn't ask my husband to do anything..."

Seeing that Li Mu agreed, Ge Peining no longer concealed it. She secretly glanced at Li Mu and said guiltily:

"Yes, I think that Sister Ping'er would like to see her husband support her no matter what. The pressure Sister Ping'er is under..."

"My husband will not blame me, will he?"

Li Mu knew that Ge Peining probably felt that her situation was a little similar to Yin Huanping's, and they felt a sense of sympathy.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said seriously:

"Then I have to talk to that woman. Sister Ning'er, you see..."

Ge Peining thought about it and felt that it was justified, so she nodded vigorously. Unexpectedly, the next moment, she heard Li Mu speaking with an unfaithful look:

"Madam, I'm afraid I can't go to the Southern Region with you. My wife doesn't agree!"

"..."

???

"Li Mu!"

...

Inner courtyard.

Li Ling'er lay on the table and cried for a long time.

However, even she herself didn't know why she suddenly became so fragile and sentimental.

"Ling'er..."

Xu Youzhi saw that Li Ling'er's crying had gradually stopped and called out to her softly.

Li Linger raised her head and looked at Xu Youzhi with a complicated look. After a long while, she spoke:

"Youzhi, are you going to do anything bad to my brother?"

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi's body trembled slightly. She didn't expect that Li Ling'er would suddenly ask this question.

After returning that day, Li Ling'er and Zhang Hanrui acted as if everything that happened before had never happened and never mentioned what happened that day on their own initiative.

Xu Youzhi was silent for a while, groping for the sachet containing the 'antidote', and said lightly:

"I do not know."

Hearing this answer, Li Linger's clenched fists slowly loosened, and then smiled bitterly:

"Youzhi, please leave."

"Ling'er..."

"I don't know what my aunt and brother are planning, but I...I..."

Li Ling'er's gaze towards Xu Youzhi gradually turned cold.

"I will kill anyone who wants to harm my relatives."

"But he..."

Xu Youzhi stepped forward and grabbed Li Linger's sleeve, with pleading eyes.

"Brother is brother. I brought him back. She has done me a favor, done my father a favor, and done the entire Prince Yan's Mansion a favor..."

"And you!" As she spoke, Li Ling'er grabbed Xu Youzhi's throat and said word by word,

"But you've been lying to me."

"Ling'er, we grew up together, how could you not be as good as..."

"Shut up!" Li Ling'er exerted force with her hands, and the anger on her face had obviously reached its peak.

"You took advantage of my and my aunt's trust and lurked in the mansion. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Hearing this, Xu Youzhi's eyes flashed with struggle, and the hand holding Li Linger's wrist gradually loosened, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Ling'er, I have never thought of hurting anyone in this mansion, whether you believe it or not."

Immediately, Li Linger threw Xu Youzhi to the ground, then turned around quickly, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

She couldn't believe that she almost killed Xu Youzhi just now.

"You said you would tell me everything. I have been waiting for you to explain it to me these days."

Li Linger calmed herself down and said calmly.

"Cough cough cough..." Xu Youzhi was thrown to the ground and coughed violently.

She wanted to confess to Li Ling'er, but since Li Ling'er didn't ask, she didn't know how to start.

"As long as Ling'er asks, I will never hide anything."

"Who sent you here?" Li Ling'er asked.

"It was the Second Young Master. He bought me back." Xu Youzhi said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Li Linger's chest rose and fell again. She turned her head and glared at Xu Youzhi, saying angrily:

"That's not what I asked!"

"Ling'er!" Xu Youzhi raised her head and looked into Li Ling'er's eyes.

"Have you ever thought that the death of the princess might have nothing to do with the second young master? The second young master was only six years old at that time..."

"Shut up!" Li Ling'er shouted angrily, smashed the table in front of her with her backhand, stared at Xu Youzhi,

"Don't mention him to me, let alone my mother."

"Hmm!" Xu Youzhi was hit by the flying wood chips and groaned. She raised her hand to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth and said stubbornly,

"The Second Young Master has been bedridden for years and couldn't even walk when he went up the mountain. Besides, the princess is also skilled in martial arts. Haven't you ever thought about this?"

"That's enough! My wet nurse saw it with her own eyes, and my mother admitted it herself. If it wasn't him, why didn't he dare to show up when my father went to look for him?"

Originally, when Li Ling'er saw Xu Youzhi vomiting blood, she had already thought of backing out, but then Xu Youzhi kept mentioning what happened that year.

His anger rose again, and he took the bright silver spear from the wall and put it against Xu Youzhi's throat.

"Do you really think I won't kill you?"

Xu Youzhi looked at the silver spear with mixed feelings.

She had clearly decided to stand on Li Ling'er's side and was clearly ready to confess everything.

She once thought that she had that person in her heart, the person who helped her when she was most desperate and helpless.

However, the man's reappearance made her certain that it was just out of gratitude. For Li Linger, she was even willing to be the bad guy even if it meant repaying kindness with enmity.

But after the last conversation with Li Mu, the figure in his mind, for some reason, always overlapped with Li Mu's figure.

Xu Youzhi was smart and a ridiculous guess suddenly came to her mind.

The one who asked himself to get close to Li Mu and even serve Li Mu was not the real Second Young Master.

In fact, it is very likely that he is just a chess piece of Li Mu.

The purpose was to allow Li Mu to return to the Prince of Yan's Mansion with a legitimate reason.

Xu Youzhi felt that she should tell Li Ling'er this, but when she saw Li Ling'er's hatred for the Second Young Master, she couldn't bring herself to say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
