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

Chapter 491 Only routines can win people’s hearts.

After hearing this, Mother Ge's expression became even more surprised. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said anxiously,

"Li, your last name is Li, you are the prince's son... Li Mu, Li Mu, you are the second son!"

As he spoke, he actually grabbed Li Mu's wrist, his tone full of joy.

"You, you actually survived. Was it father who cured you?"

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned unconsciously. For the first time, he understood why King Yan was willing to prove it for him.

It does feel bad to be regarded as a beast.

"I'm not... um, I am..." However, this thing is a bit troublesome to explain.

Li Mu didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Seeing this, Ge Peining hurriedly whispered a few words in Ge's mother's ear.

Mother Ge nodded, looked at Li Mu again, and said to herself,

"That's right, the prince can't give birth to a son as handsome as you."

Then his eyes gradually became sharp and his tone became a little aggressive.

"Why are you also called Li Mu? And why don't I know about the brother who saved the prince?"

"Mom, it was your husband who cured you, what are you doing?" Ge Peining on the side suddenly felt unhappy and quickly spoke for Li Mu.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes.

This mother-in-law is truly not an ordinary person. She has been lying in bed for ten years, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to interrogate herself.

However, this interrogation was what Li Mu was most reluctant to mention.

Li Mu immediately lost his temper and said with a half-smile,

"Since my mother-in-law doesn't trust me, well, I'll come to see you again when she's knocked unconscious on this bed again."

At first glance, this statement seems to be correct, but if you think about it carefully, there are problems everywhere.

Mother Ge's face suddenly darkened and she said angrily,

"That's how you talk to your elders!"

Li Mu pretended to be confused and shrugged.

"Mother-in-law, do you mean that you don't need my son-in-law to treat you? Mother-in-law, you are worrying too much. This is not up to you."

Li Mu paused and looked at Ge Peining with a gentle expression.

"Sister Ning'er wants my mother-in-law to be healthy and live a long life, then it will be difficult for you to die."

Hearing this, Ge Peining bit her lower lip, looked at Li Mu, then looked at her mother, hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked to Li Mu, took Li Mu's arm and said,

"Mother, you just woke up so you should rest more. Ning'er and my husband will come to see you later."

Seeing that her daughter's elbow was so bent that it could not be seen, Ge's mother's face became even uglier.

She originally had a good first impression of Li Mu.

He has a handsome appearance and a smart mind.

But since the matter involved Prince Yan and Shan Mei, she asked a few more questions.

I didn't expect this kid to have such a bad temper.

I thought to myself that she has given such a beautiful daughter to you, so why can't I control my mother-in-law's status?

Seeing that the two were really leaving, Mother Ge's face was gloomy and she hurriedly shouted,

"Wait a moment!"

Immediately, Li Mu paused and turned to look at Ge Peining.

I saw her eyes evasive, full of guilt and pleading.

Li Mu couldn't bear it, so he pulled Ge Peining back to the bed and bowed respectfully to Ge's mother.

"I wonder what my mother-in-law wants to tell you?"

Mother Ge was silent, and looked at Li Mu again. After a long moment, an admiring smile appeared on her face, and she patted the bed and said,

"Boy, I like you!"

"Huh?" Li Mu looked up in surprise, his head full of question marks.

Mother Ge pointed at the stool where Li Mu was sitting before and asked him to sit down. Then she said in a serious tone,

"Answer me honestly, do you have a grudge against the prince?"

Li Mu sat on a low stool and shook his head, "No."

"So you have a grudge against the princess?"

"I have never seen the princess, so how can we talk about hatred?" Li Mu knew that the princess that Ge's mother was talking about should be Li Ling'er's biological mother Shan Mei.

Mother Ge nodded slightly, with a puzzled tone in her voice.

"Could it be that you have a grudge against the Second Young Master?"

Li Mu had long felt that his mother-in-law was no ordinary person, but he did not expect that her insight was so sharp.

After thinking about it, I answered honestly,

"I have no connection with the second young master, nor do I have any hatred against him."

Hearing this, Ge's mother's face changed, wondering if she had guessed wrong. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Mu continue,

"It's just that Ling'er and the old man both said that the princess was killed by the second young master, so I don't have a good impression of him."

The matter of Hidden Edge Technique, if you look at it in detail, can be considered an open conspiracy.

It is not impossible for Shan Yuan to deny it completely, after all, that technique is not something that everyone can practice.

He could just say he had no idea and that Li Mu wanted to practice it on his own.

So Li Mu was just telling the truth without mixing in too much subjective emotions.

Unexpectedly, when Mother Ge heard that Shan Mei had passed away, she was stunned. After a long while, she confirmed in disbelief,

"You said the princess is dead?"

Li Mu nodded, and then told Ge's mother everything that Li Ling'er had told him.

By the way, he told how he entered the palace and how Prince Yan and Emperor Hongwen plotted against the Lin family.

However, he was picked up by Li Ling'er and forced to join the game to cooperate with Emperor Hongwen's plan.

As Mother Ge listened, tears began to fall unconsciously. She grabbed Li Mu's hand and sobbed,

"Good boy, thanks to you."

Immediately, a subtle cunning flashed across Li Mu's eyes, and he said to himself,

“Done!”

At the beginning, on the carriage on the way back from Donglai Pass, Mr. Ge mentioned that his father and mother had been practicing medicine in the army of Prince Yan for a long time.

Although Mr. Ge did not say it explicitly, just looking at the proud look on his face, one could tell that the two men's prestige in the army was probably not low.

It is not difficult to understand why he is on good terms with Prince Yan and his wife.

In addition to the dirty talk that comes out of his mouth, I think he is very familiar with the soldiers in the army. People with this kind of personality are mostly passionate.

To deal with a mother-in-law like this, it is most important to be concise and direct. It is inappropriate to beat around the bush.

Li Mu showed his temper appropriately, and then for the sake of Ge Peining, he restrained his temper and gave enough face to Ge's mother.

All I can say is that since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, and only routines can win people's hearts.

Ge Peining saw that the two of them were on the verge of a fight before, and in the blink of an eye, her mother was conquered.

She blinked her bright eyes and said hesitantly, "Mother, actually my husband did a lot of things afterwards..."

Soon after, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he told Ge's mother the story of Li Mu killing Ran Nu's assassin, resisting Ran Nu's army, and even going deep into the tiger's den to rescue Prince Yan single-handedly, with exaggeration.

She had no choice but to add some exaggeration; after all, the version she heard had already been polished by the storyteller.

After a while, when Ge Peining finished telling the whole story, Li Mu felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Mother Ge's eyes became more and more passionate as she looked at Li Mu. She couldn't be more satisfied with her son-in-law.

He is young and promising, loyal and righteous, and most importantly, his martial arts and strategy are first-class.

Any girl would be unable to close her legs when seeing such a young man.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Mu coughed twice, indicating to Ge Peining that it was almost enough.

Mother Ge smiled and teased, "Qingyi, are you shy? Tell me about your marriage. I didn't get to see you get married in person. Xiaoning, tell me about it."

However, this time Ge Peining did not speak immediately. She looked at Li Mu and said hesitantly,

"Husband, can I talk to mother alone?"
