In all the relationships in this world, as long as it didn't harm others and didn't harm the world, Chen Mu wouldn't oppose it.
Thus, even if she was surprised, she had no interest in interfering with brother and sister's forbidden love.
Who would have thought that she would casually ask this question? Bai Li's face darkened as he rolled his eyes at her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I was his sister?"
A Prince Of Ten Thousand Streams and a Wanliu Princess, if not siblings, could there be some connection?
However, Bai Li did not deny that she had ulterior motives towards Murong Yu.
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say before that you were Princess Qingping of Wanliu Kingdom?"
"So that's what you're talking about." Bai Li heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down, "I am indeed the Princess Qing Ping from Wanliu Kingdom, but we are not siblings."
She wouldn't take the title of brother and sister being forbidden from loving each other.
"I'm the daughter of King An Ye. It's just that the empress dowager liked me a lot, so she gave me a title."
So it was sealed. However, she was the daughter of the prince, and was indeed of the imperial clan.
Chen Mu Mu pondered for a bit, and no longer bothered with the White Pear's identity. He only asked curiously, "Since you're from the Myriad Flows Royal Family, why don't you stay in the Myriad Flows?"
Bai Li was speechless. "Didn't you already guess it earlier?"
"So, you really admire the Prince Of Ten Thousand Streams?"
This era had a lot of restrictions on women, so chasing after men was a black spot for women.
Bai Li was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I can't hide it from you anyways, I really do adore him."
"Then, does he feel the same way about you?" Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu asked curiously.
"I don't know... Maybe. " There was some uncertainty on the pear.
Could this even be called unrequited love?
Chen Mu Mu was a little speechless. "Being in love with someone isn't something shameful. Since you admire him, why don't you tell him what you're thinking? It's not good for either of you to hide away. "
Pausing, the corners of his mouth curled up. "You guys aren't young anymore. A man should marry a woman. Parents' words are popular in this world. Don't wait for that day to come before regretting not having confessed earlier."
Bai Li knew what was at stake. She was stunned for a long while before letting out a faint sigh.
"A childhood sweetheart. Of course they have deep feelings for each other. However, they are too familiar with each other. If they are rejected, it would be difficult for them to get along in the future."
So it was too familiar that he couldn't do it?
The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth widened into a smile, "Do you think that your thoughts aren't obvious, or do you think that Murong Yu doesn't know anything?"
To be able to chase after his husband from so far away was something that everyone could see. As the person involved, how could Murong Yu not know about it?
He knew, but he said nothing, neither refused her nor promised her anything.
Chen Mu Mu suddenly understood Bai Li's nervousness. It was difficult for such a person to understand his thoughts.
However …
"You're a woman, you can't afford it."
If an ancient woman hadn't married out by the age of eighteen, she would be the only one left. She would be stung beyond recognition by the gossip of the Third Aunt and the Sixth Nanny.
However, a man was different. Even if he had passed the age of thirty and had yet to get married, no one would dare to speak of him as long as they had the ability to do so.
White pears really can't afford it.
Bai Li's expression was dejected. After hesitating for a long time, she still shook her head.
"I don't want to disrupt this harmony."
"But you are already breaking through. From the day you left the Wanliu Kingdom, the thin film surrounding your relationship has already been torn apart." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu looked at her with a trace of pity in his eyes, "It doesn't matter if you two agree to this, but what if one day, or in other words, this time we are on good terms, he marries the princess of Bai Chuan?"
Bai Li's expression froze, her eyes were filled with confusion: "He will marry Bai Chuan's princess?"
"Isn't the best way for the two countries to get along with each other is to get along with each other?" Chen Mu looked at her as though he was looking at an idiot. "In front of the interests of the country, personal feelings are nothing." Furthermore, since he did not express his feelings for you, he did not have any intentions of accepting you. As for the royal princesses of our Hundred Rivers, each one is as beautiful as a flower, and the other is more gentle and considerate. "
Bai Li: "…"
It was heart-wrenching.
Aren't we still sprinkling salt after we're done?
Seeing that she didn't reply, Chen Mu shrugged. "Anyway, I've already reminded you, if you don't value it, it's still your own doing if you insist on delaying yourself."
Pausing, the smile on his face faded, "Well, that's all. Let's change topics. Come to think of it, how did a dignified Wanliu Princess like yours end up in the hands of a trafficker? Your brain is still normal. It can't be that you didn't bring a single follower when you were away, right? "
Although she had the title of a princess, White Pear did not seem to be pampered. It was impossible for her not to know some common sense of life.
Bai Li choked, her face filled with mixed feelings and slight resentment.
"Indeed, I wasn't going out alone. I was going to walk a long distance, so I brought a servant girl with me."
Hearing this, Chen Mu Mu Mu's mouth twitched, and his gaze swept towards her as though he was looking at a retard.
"Going out to take a servant girl?"
Two pretty girls who had walked so far without even the slightest bit of force was worth it. Wasn't it obvious that they were looking for a beating?
Furthermore, she had already decided to go on a long journey and even brought along a young maid. Was it because she could not take care of herself in her life? Did she have to bring along a burden?
It might be even more difficult for the young maid to adapt to the outside environment than her.
As she thought of this, Bai Li's face turned slightly pale.
"I have no other choice. If I bring a guard with me, it would be even worse if I travel alone for a long distance."
The guards were powerful and could take care of everything in front of them. However, there was a difference between males and females, and they couldn't guarantee that they would always treat their masters with respect and modesty because of their master-servant relationship …
Perhaps he wanted to kill his master and escape?
It was much safer to bring a servant girl. After all, a servant girl was both obedient and obedient.
However … Something happened to the maidservant.
Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at Bai Li with a smile that wasn't a smile, "You're so persistent, then where is your servant girl now?"
Servants were obviously meant for personal use and were inseparable from their masters.
However, after following Bai Li up the mountain for so long, she hadn't seen any of Bai Li's maids. It was obvious that she had met with some mishaps.
Bai Li's eyes dimmed. She looked depressed and said slowly, "I let her go."
Let her go?
This doesn't seem to follow the plot?
Chen Mu Mu's eyes twitched, "What's going on?"
Bai Li's expression was one that was hard to explain. She was conflicted for a while before sighing, "It's very simple. It's a long and long journey, something will definitely happen. We once met a caravan, and we went together with it. "
As she said this, she glanced at Chen Mu Mu, who was listening to the show, and said in a dejected tone, "But who would have thought that the merchant caravan's personnel were plentiful. The servant girl took a fancy to the merchant caravan's man, and then eloped with him."
What a lousy joke.
He actually eloped!
As expected of a master servant, his master chased after a man for a thousand miles, and the maid ran with the man!
However, he continued, "Since she's your servant, if she didn't have the consent of the owner, she would have been captured and taken back by now, right?"
Bai Li nodded. "That's why after she escaped, she brought her lover with her and came back to beg for my permission."
Needless to say, Bai Li's heart softened.
"You've helped them."
Chen Mu Mu Mu's words were made clear without the slightest hesitation.
Bai Li laughed bitterly, "Since things have gotten to that point, what can I do even if I don't agree? Besides, we've been together for so many years, we have feelings for each other. I can't bear to kill her after all."
Chen Mu clicked her tongue twice. She had seen the living Virgin Mary with her own eyes.
Bai Li had brought her maidservant all the way out of the country, but the maidservant had found a man and ran away, leaving Bai Li alone in a foreign land.
It was difficult for Bai Li to be so considerate of the maidservants.
Chen Mu Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me guess. From your grief-stricken expression, could it be that the matter of the traffickers has something to do with that maid?"
Bai Li fell silent for a moment, then shook her head. "She's not that kind of person."
The uncertainty in her words probably didn't even convince her.
Chen Mu Mu didn't expose him and asked, "Then how were you captured by the traffickers?"
"The servant girl's way of doing things has made my heart tremble. Furthermore, the merchant group has already reached their destination, so I will move forward by myself. After eating on the way, they were drugged, and when they woke up, they were already caught. " White Pear looked at her. "Compared to you, I may be more miserable."
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"I sat in the trafficker's carriage for half a month." Bai Li gritted his teeth and said.
"Awesome." Chen Mu Mu Mu praised.
"Eh?" Bai Li could not react in time.
"Sitting in a free half a month's carriage and stuffing myself with food, I don't even have that much luck."
Bai Li: "…"
Is it easy to sit in a trafficker's carriage?
She had been on tenterhooks the entire way, she was about to lose all hope!
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't pay attention to her expression as he asked, "In that case, what does tonight's assassin have to do with you?"
"Of course it doesn't matter. I've been with you along the way, so I can't hide anything from your eyes, can I?" Bai Li scoffed, "This Ox Head Mountain is a bandit's nest. If you didn't want to come up, I wouldn't be in this sort of damned place."
When it came to bandits, the hairs on her body would stand on end.
"I didn't ask you to follow me." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't take the blame and retorted back. After saying those words, she came to a realization, "I haven't asked you clearly, didn't you always say that you would follow me? Then tell me, why did you follow me?"
"Because you're like an old friend of mine." White Pear said.
Chen Mu pouted. "... Do you think I would believe that? "
"Even if you don't believe me, you're still like an old friend of mine." Bai Li's expression was serious, without the least bit of falsehood. "In a foreign land, if I follow you, it's just because I'm familiar with you."
So if she was going to make things difficult for Bai Li, it would be unkind of her?
Chen Mu chuckled twice.
However, no matter how she interrogated him, Bai Li's reason remained the same.
After holding on for half the night, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was tired and sleepy, so she let Bai Li and herself off and went to sleep.
If you don't get enough sleep at night, getting up early becomes a big deal.
Therefore, when the sounds of knocking on the door rang out one by one, waking up Chen Mu Mu Mu from her good dream, she seemed to suppress her anger.
"Who is it!"
After a simple washing up, he opened the door. When he saw the fresh, handsome, and gentle jade-like man at the door, Chen Mu Mu Mu was instantly stunned.
"Shangguan Bai?"
