Although Li Mu was a prince, he didn't have much power, so who would have thought that he, who was mocked and ridiculed by all the princes, would become the overlord of the entire mountain and river in the future?
The Ninth Prince's lustful eyes fell on Shi Anran, his fingers rubbing his chin, "Which brothel is this girl from, she's so beautiful. Third brother, why don't you give her to me? Ninth brother will return the number of his beauties to Third brother and his wife, what do you say?"
This Ninth Prince really has a pig's head, he really wasn't afraid of offending some powerful young miss that would affect his future.
Shi Anran poured a cup of wine for Li Mu. Without waiting for him to speak, she spat out a sentence in a neutral tone, "The ancient saying goes, 'metal is jade, and it is wasted'. "It seems that what I just said is true!"
At the same time, he heard someone say, "Ninth Prince, this woman is saying that your appearance is gorgeous and inside your head is a bag of grass …"
"Puff …" The man who was sipping wine in the corner spat it out. The woman he had taken a fancy to was truly amazing. With a single sentence, he had reduced the Ninth Prince to nothing.
"You, a prostitute, actually dare to insult this prince. Do you think your life is too long?" At this time, the ninth prince's facial expression changed in an exceptionally wonderful way. In his entire life, no one had the guts to speak to him in such a manner.
Didn't he want to use her to humiliate Third Prince?
Shi Anran smirked, "Oh? "Ninth Prince can tell that this is derogatory, it's rare …"
Li Mu did not say anything, it was one thing for this Ninth Brother to be so mischievous, but he looked down upon others when he spoke.
The ninth prince was burning with anger. The prince beside him pulled him back and said in a low voice, "Ninth Prince, please calm your anger. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
"Halt!" Li Mu coldly snorted.
The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows: "Is there something you need Third Brother for?"
"Apologize to Miss Shi for what you said just now!"
Hearing that, a few of them were stunned, so this was the great miss of Shi Family? But the Ninth Prince was so arrogant, how could he lower his head to her? Shi Anran covered her lips slightly, and casually said, "Forget it, Anran cannot afford the ninth prince's apology!"
This damned woman!
Having his interest was swept away, the ninth prince coldly snorted and strode out of the pavilion. However, he tripped over something and cried out in alarm. His entire body rolled on the ground, and the scene was appalling to behold.
Xiang Rongcheng leaned against the pillar with his arms folded across his chest, his lips curled into a devilish smile. To dare call his woman a prostitute, he must have more guts than his head!
The Ninth Prince's fall was not light. When he walked in, he was carried out; Shi Anran and Li Mu did not even spare him a glance.
Shi Anran's gaze swept across the street outside the window and accidentally saw Xiang Rongcheng's figure. When she wanted to confirm again, she couldn't see him anymore.
Seeing that she looked extremely uncomfortable, and thinking about the guard's report, Li Mu's gaze slightly changed, "Anran, what's wrong?"
Just as Li Mu's fingers touched the back of her hand, he was shocked by the scorching temperature. "It's good as long as you're sick, why do you have to persevere? The plain white weather is really worrisome. "
Shi Anran's face turned a faint scarlet red, she only felt that her eyelids were heavy, she had been holding on to even now was her limit, she smiled sweetly and shook her head, "Third Prince, I'm afraid that today will disturb your mood, Anran will return first, I will apologize to Third Prince when my body is better!"
Li Mu did not know what to say to her, just as he stood up, a wave of dizziness hit him, he did not speak anymore, he carried her by the waist and ordered the servants, "Go and find the nearest infirmary!"
Actually, Shi Anran could not hold on any longer. She was still worried about each other's identities, and had already forgotten about everything else when she was down, so she rested her head on Yun Che's shoulder and slowly closed his eyes.
After the doctor gave her the medicine, Shi Anran fell into a deep sleep, but Li Mu persisted in not letting her go, waiting for her to wake up.
Shi Anran moved but quickly reacted, she looked at him in shock, and after a long while, she finally said softly: "Third Prince, you …."
"Don't say anything else for now. Sleep for a while longer, I'll send you home now!" Li Mu's voice was very serious, but it didn't lose any gentleness, all of the women probably wouldn't be able to resist, right?
However, Shi Anran struggled out from his embrace and pulled away from him, "Anran's body is disappointing, Third Prince is laughing at me!"
Li Mu smiled and picked up the medicine the doctor made for him, "You need to rest now, stay in the residence to rest and take care of your body."
This time, Third Prince directly accompanied her back to the manor, scaring everyone in the manor silly. Third Concubine rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and said in astonishment and resentment, "Is there something wrong with my eyes?"
At this time, Shi Yu was still dealing with things and naturally did not return home.
Shi Anyi immediately ran over when she heard it, but was stopped by his mother, "An Yi, calm down, don't let Third Prince look down on you!"
How could Shi Anyi still calm down? She grinded her teeth in frustration, "Mother, hurry up and advise me, don't let that bitch succeed!" Third Concubine was also in a mess.
Only after seeing Liu Yue and Lian Xing helping her fall asleep did Li Mu finally relax. Her gaze fell on the half of the jade pendant hanging around her neck as a warm and baffling flow flowed out of her heart.
"Take good care of your young miss!" Li Mu left her courtyard after instructing his a few things.
Just as Li Mu walked out, he bumped into Shi Anyi and the Third Madam. The two greeted them, and the Third Madam smiled obsequiously, then said to her daughter: "An Yi, why aren't you sending Third Prince off?"
"There's no need, farewell!" Li Mu slightly nodded his head as a form of greeting.
The third wife gave her daughter a meaningful glance. Shi Anyi smiled, then lifted her skirt to follow along, saying in a sweet voice: "Third Prince, I'll send you off!" With that said, she followed behind Li Mu, one in front and one in back.
"An Yi thanks Third Prince for sending my sister back!" She had nothing to say, so she really didn't know what to say. However, she also wanted to get close to him.
Li Mu's gentle face did not change at all, and he indifferently said, "Second Miss is too polite!"
Seeing that his carriage was getting further and further away, Shi Anyi was so angry that she stomped her feet. She called her big sister Anran, but called her Second Miss. Could it be that Third Prince treats big sister … Impossible, definitely impossible!
This time, Shi Anran was really sick. She was sick for a few days and during this time, Third Prince came over once and took a quick look before leaving.
The afternoon sun shone brightly on the courtyard.
In the courtyard laid a soft blanket, with Shi Anran lying on the side lazily, a snow-white blanket covering her body. With one hand holding his head while the other hand flipping through the book of poems, she couldn't help but think of the night when she had poems with Xiang Rongcheng, why did he think of him again? Shi Anran shook his head in amusement, shaking off the thoughts in his head.
"Miss, look at this bird!" Liu Yue played with the canary in the cage.
Hearing that, Shi Anran raised her head and looked at Xiang Rongcheng who was standing not far away in surprise. Seeing that he was still wearing the armor, he must have been in a hurry and forgot to change.
