Chapter 668: Finally took the bait.
Chapter 668: Finally took the bait.
Hearing this voice, the two women stood up at the same time.
Zhang Hanrui glanced at Shan Yuan and Li Ling'er who came in together, hesitated for a moment, and decided to continue to maintain his aloof personality, nodding slightly.
However, Yin Huanping didn't care about that anymore. She rushed directly into Li Mu's arms and punched his chest with her fists.
"You bastard, why did you come back at this critical moment instead of coming back when you should have?"
"What's wrong? Are you inconvenient these days?"
Li Mu pretended not to know and maintained his own persona.
Yin Huanping was so angry at Li Mu's words that she almost passed out. She opened her mouth and bit his chest.
However, the sweetness in her eyes was not concealed at all, as if she was not afraid of anything now that the head of the family was back.
Maybe before, she was too proud to admit her relationship with Li Mu in front of others.
But since she lost contact with Li Mu a few days ago, Yin Huanping suddenly figured it out. She didn't want to waste even a minute with Li Mu.
She has done all kinds of ridiculous things in her life, and this one is not a big deal.
It was rare for Li Mu to see Sister Ping so enthusiastic, and he couldn't let her go. While he was absent-mindedly rubbing her, he listened to Zhang Hanrui talking about the dilemma she was facing now.
To put it bluntly, the summit assassination was just a by-product.
The trump card is the nearly one hundred celebrities summoned by Junshan Ling, who are the real foundation of the Hundred Families.
"So, the royal family controls those people to deal with the Bai family?"
Li Mu shrugged and said indifferently,
"Then let's deal with it. I've said before that Linglong Waterside will not get involved in political affairs."
Immediately, Li Mu looked at Zhang Hanrui with burning eyes and shouted in his heart, "Silly old woman, I'll give you a chance, beg me, beg me for help!"
You know that the palace formation can't stop me!
When Zhang Hanrui saw Li Mu's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head subconsciously and cursed,
"Smelly brother!"
At the door, Shan Yuan keenly caught the glances between the two, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He immediately said,
"Aunt, my senior brother and I can take you and Ling'er away first..."
"Aunt?" Li Mu interrupted with a playful look in his eyes, and put his big hand directly on Zhang Hanrui's hand.
For a moment, Zhang Hanrui felt like she was caught red-handed. She didn't care that Li Mu was holding her hand in front of so many people, and she hesitantly explained,
"Of course, what happened back then still needs to be investigated..."
"I am not interested in your love and hatred." Li Mu shook Zhang Hanrui's hand vigorously and said coldly,
"Since your family is so loving, do you need me to give up my seat?"
"Second brother, we don't mean to chase you away." Li Ling'er was the first to get restless. She seemed to have completely forgotten about Li Mu's behavior of taking advantage of her just now, and said in an anxious tone.
Li Mu waved his hand and pointed at Shan Yuan at the entrance of the hall, "Don't shout, your second brother is there."
Hearing this, Li Linger swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and tears fell again.
The feeling of "I did everything for you but you didn't understand me" made her feel suffocated.
Zhang Hanrui frowned. She had felt that the little man was not normal today. After thinking for a while, she asked,
"What do you mean?"
"It's meaningless. Either you two stay together as a family or I'm leaving."
"Or... you know what I mean."
Li Mu spoke in a teasing tone and gently teased Zhang Hanrui's palm with his fingers.
Zhang Hanrui took a deep look at Li Mu and was certain that her little man was going to cause trouble.
What do you mean by "you know what I mean"? Just two people would shake so many beds apart, why would they have to resort to this?
Li Mu was obviously saying this for someone else to hear, Ling'er or Shanyuan?
"Hmm~"
Zhang Hanrui was thinking, and she uttered a shameful sound unconsciously. She grabbed Li Mu's evil hand, was slightly stunned, and put on the appearance of a humiliated heroine and said,
"I can't decide whether you stay or go, but if you can rescue the people from the hundreds of families in the palace, I will do whatever you say!"
Dear sister, your reaction is much slower than my mother-in-law.
Li Mu licked his lips, revealing the most disgusting look in his memory. He looked at Zhang Hanrui without reservation and said jokingly,
"It's a word."
"Dongmei, quickly take... Auntie to take a bath. I will be back in two hours at most!"
After saying that, Li Mu walked out of the hall, waving his hands like a fly, looking as disgusting as he could be.
"Wait!" Shan Yuan seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it.
He stretched out his hand to block Li Mu's way and shouted at Zhang Hanrui,
"Aunt, the royal family has neither targeted the Zongheng family nor the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Why did you agree to his request?"
He was obviously not a naive person, and he asked about his doubts right away.
Zhang Hanrui's face was filled with grief and indignation, and he sighed softly, "The lips and teeth are interdependent, Qingfeng Temple even dared to refuse the Junshan Order, how can you understand all this."
"Okay, go back to your Qingfeng Temple. Qingyi is right. The Prince of Yan's Mansion cannot have two second sons."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Li Mu, forced a smile on his face, bowed slightly and said,
"I wish you a triumphant return."
The two looked at each other and could see smiles in each other's eyes.
After all, they were old partners who knew what position to change as soon as they slapped each other's buttocks. Zhang Hanrui instantly understood Li Mu's intentions, looked at Li Ling'er, pursed her lips and said,
"Ling'er, whether you agree or not, your brother-in-law has already decided on this matter. You will be engaged to Qingyi next month."
"These, these are what our Yanwang Mansion owes him."
As she spoke, Zhang Hanrui squeezed out two tears. Li Mu felt a little sorry for her.
Shan Yuan clenched his fists. He would never let this happen. He glanced at Li Ling'er who looked like she had lost her soul and shouted angrily,
"Do you really want to force them like this?"
"Force? How can there be any force? You heard it too. This is a fair trade."
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, looking like he deserved a beating.
Shan Yuan frowned, suppressed his anger, and compromised.
"You, your deal with my aunt is your business, but Ling'er will never marry you!"
Hearing this, even Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
He was sure that as long as Zhang Hanrui was in the scene, his gaze would not be directed anywhere else in his dream.
So Li Mu concluded that Shan Yuan must have feelings for Zhang Hanrui.
But now it seems that he cares more about Li Ling'er?
He walked slowly to Li Ling'er and asked tentatively, "You don't want to get married?"
Li Linger raised her head, nodded first, then shook her head, but couldn't utter a word.
Today was a huge blow to her. First, she was misunderstood by Li Mu, and then she couldn't explain it.
Later she found out that the man she loved was actually eyeing her aunt.
Now, the marriage has been brought up again. If I refuse in front of Li Mu, will I never have another chance?
Li Ling'er was about to collapse, but at this moment, she heard Li Mu's gentle voice.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married."
"No, no, no." Li Ling'er shook her head desperately.
Li Mu hugged her gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, no one will force you."
Hearing this, Shan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and did not even stop the intimate behavior between the two at this moment.
Who would have thought that at this time Li Mu would say,
"Don't be sad, go take a bath and relax with your aunt, I'll come find you later."
While speaking, he pinched Li Linger's chubby little face.
After these words came out, even Zhang Hanrui couldn't help but glared at Li Mu fiercely, not to mention Shan Yuan.
"You, you really want to do this!"
"So what? Don't stop me from saving people!"
Li Mu pushed Shan Yuan away.
Shan Yuan frowned and looked at Zhang Hanrui, "Auntie!"
"You can go now. The palace owes him too much. After today's incident, all the philosophers and schools of thought will owe him a lot in the future. Ling'er and I should feel honored... woooo."
Zhang Hanrui pretended to be strong, but when she spoke the last part, she covered her face and cried.
"Hahahaha!" Outside the hall, Li Mu's triumphant laughter was heard.
Shan Yuan gritted his teeth, his joints creaking, as if he had made up his mind, and said,
"Aunt, I, I can also go to the palace to rescue people, you don't have to be coerced by him! As for the favor, I, I will repay it for you!"
Li Mu, who had already walked to the door, paused and showed a relieved expression.
Finally took the bait.
