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

Chapter 759: Resolute and disheartened Murong Jinxiu.

Li Mu looked at Mu Zhen guiltily.

He recognized one of the figures outside the door, it was Murong Jinxiu.

Moreover, he was the one who invited the person.

After confirming the inn to stay in, Li Mu invited people over on the pretext of discussing something.

Who would have known that Mo Wuyan and his wife had already lived here a few days ago, and would come over tonight...

Li Mu didn't know whether Mu Zhen would feel guilty, but he had already begun to feel guilty on behalf of his teacher.

After all, the two seemed to be in a cold war, and if that "stubborn" person were to see the "white moonlight" who indirectly led to his marriage, I'm afraid they would really fight.

Mu Zhen frowned, but looked at Mo Wuyan.

Li Mu clearly saw that the two old guys exchanged at least eight hundred words through their eye contact.

At this time, the door of the house opened, followed by Murong Jinxiu's gentle voice.

"Li'er?"

Li Mu was a little embarrassed and quickly walked forward and opened the door.

"I heard Shanshan say you were here, so I came here. Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Her voice was very loud, and it sounded as if she was explaining something to the people in the room.

She didn't come here on her own initiative, but was invited.

Li Mu really wanted to say something, why don’t you go back first.

To be honest, if he didn't think that Mu Zhen was just being stubborn and was not completely indifferent to Murong Jinxiu, he would not want to bring disaster upon himself.

Especially Mu Zhen had obviously been hurt by Shen Sanniang. He was not as hard-hearted as cement and he was not interested in women.

As his strength increased, Li Mu also noticed the impact of mental knots on warriors.

If Murong Jinxiu can help Mu Zhen to open up, then no matter whether the melon is sweet or not, there is no harm in trying it.

However, if Mu Zhen knew Li Mu’s true thoughts, he would probably kill this disciple himself.

Li Mu was thinking about what to say and how to make Murong Jinxiu leave first.

At this moment, the woman behind her suddenly spoke up.

"Sir, may I ask if the great scholar Mu Zhen lives here?"

Li Mu almost forgot that there was another person outside the house.

Looking up, I saw a fairly charming woman, about forty years old, dressed in a very eye-catching Southern style.

What caught people's attention most was the bamboo basket she was carrying on her back.

The outside was covered with black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

"May I ask you are?"

Li Mu bowed politely and asked tentatively.

"Yu Wushi, Han Ye, please help inform them."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at Murong Jinxiu.

Murong Jinxiu didn't care at all and turned her head to the side as if she didn't hear it.

Li Mu looked at the woman again, hesitating whether he should let her in.

In terms of appearance, this woman cannot compare to Murong Jinxiu.

But she is a member of the Wu Clan, and it won’t be long before she becomes one of our own…

Just as Li Mu was daydreaming, Shen Sanniang's voice came from behind him.

"Han Ye? You are here to look for Wuyan, right? Why go so far away and pretend to be looking for Brother Mu?"

"Speechless?"

"You know Wuyan!"

When Han Ye heard Mo Wuyan's name, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly passed Li Mu and grabbed Shen Sanniang's sleeve and asked,

"Can you tell me where Wuyan is?"

Li Mu turned around in surprise, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The woman's movements just now were exactly the same as those used by Bai Luofu in her "sneak attack".

I thought it was Bai Luofu's instinct after being swallowed by the poisonous miasma, but now it seems that is not the case.

Yuwu clan?

Speaking of which, he had never dealt with anyone from the Yuwu clan.

Li Mu frowned and thought, then he heard Shen Sanniang's long-drawn shout.

“No…speech!”

"You, how did you find this place..."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Mo Wuyan quickly stood up and looked at Han Ye with complicated eyes.

"Wu Yan, it's really you!"

Han Ye rubbed his eyes, as if he was a little bit unbelievable, and let go of Shen Sanniang and ran towards Mo Wuyan.

"Wu Yan, why did you leave without saying a word yesterday? Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?"

"That day I knew you might be in danger, so I fought with the garrison outside the city. Afterwards, I was put in solitary confinement by my eldest brother... You said you would come back to find me."

Han Ye was obviously very excited, and his words were a little incoherent.

Or maybe just a few words were simply not enough to express her feelings at the moment.

"Aye..."

Mo Wuyan was about to speak when he heard Shen Sanniang snort coldly, pull Mo Liuying aside and leave the room.

"Ying'er, let's go. Don't be an eyesore here."

"Sanniang!"

Mo Wuyan raised his foot to chase him, but Han Ye in front of him held back his arms.

"Wu Yan, today I will not let you run away no matter what."

"Aye, you..."

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched. He thought it would be Mu Zhen's Shura field, but he didn't expect it to be this perverted old man.

Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard Murong Jinxiu say,

"Li'er, it's getting late. I should go back too."

"you……"

"You are a good kid, but some things cannot be forced."

Murong Jinxiu turned and left, never looking back at the room from beginning to end.

Li Mu always felt that he seemed to have done something wrong. After thinking about it, he decided to chase after him.

Outside the inn, Murong Jinxiu stood in front of the carriage but did not get on.

Seeing Li Mu coming out of the inn, he smiled gently.

"You have something to say to me?"

Li Mu nodded and looked at the middle-aged woman driving the carriage.

"It's okay. Mrs. Guo has been with me for many years."

Murong Jinxiu obviously saw what Li Mu was thinking and nodded with a smile.

"Are you really not here to see... your uncle?"

Li Mu didn't know how to ask, so he opened his mouth tentatively.

Murong Jinxiu shook her head, as if she had seen Li Mu's worry, and said with a smile,

"What happened in the past... Minglan told you, right? Sanniang is a good person, and everything is my own fault. I have never blamed her... I was just stubborn and ignorant in the past."

Li Mu stared into her eyes, and felt that Murong Jinxiu was a little different today. He hesitated for a moment and said,

"What happened back then..."

“It has nothing to do with that.”

Murong Jinxiu chuckled and shook her head, as if she was mocking herself, with a hint of relief in her tone.

"He didn't accept me at first. I thought he was too busy with blood feud to care about his children's love affairs."

“So I try to catch up with him and hope to give him a helping hand.”

"Later, he got his revenge but still refused to accept me. I just thought he was angry that the Murong family had abandoned him when he needed help the most."

“So, I tried everything I could to make amends.”

"But back then, he said in person that he would come to pick me up. I waited for him for a whole day and a whole night. I waited until I became a joke known to everyone in the capital. I waited until I became the wife of the Grand Marshal."

"I have been waiting all these years. As long as he says, 'Follow me,' I will drop everything and follow him."

"On the day of the summit, he was injured while trying to save me, and you also told me that I should take the initiative to fight for it."

"So that day, I let my hair down and said I wanted to leave with him. I didn't need him to pick me up, I could take the initiative to walk towards him..."

"The teacher refused? Why?" Li Mu was a little puzzled. Looking at the woman in front of him who looked hopeless, he seemed to know that he had done something wrong.

Murong Jinxiu stepped forward, held Li Mu's hand, and patted the back of his hand.

"Qing Yi, I know you mean well, but there are some things that I cannot do alone."

"I've been waiting in the capital for so many years, and I'm tired. I'm going back to the Murong family in a few days."

"If possible, please take good care of Minglan for me. Her life in the Liu family is not as glorious as it seems. You are a good child. She is my only concern now. Please...please."

Li Mu did not hear what Murong Jinxiu said afterwards.

I don't even know when she left.

He just stood there, his eyes empty and his expression dazed.

There seemed to be two villains in my mind, fighting against each other.
