Chapter 284 That Similarity
Hearing Bao Simu's cry, Li Mubai's back stiffened suddenly and he did not look back.

Until the crying could no longer be heard, Li Mubai covered his eyes with his hands and slowly raised his chin.

The sun shone on his face, but he still couldn't feel any warmth.

In my heart, I felt even colder.

An extremely desolate sadness enveloped Li Mubai's body.

Ji Fanyin blinked, and the image of Li Mubai standing under the dragon lantern when they first met suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She was dressed in nobility, her slanted phoenix eyes were full of pride and confidence, and she was so arrogant and beautiful.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly.

weird...

Why did she vaguely remember that there was someone else standing next to Li Mubai at that time.

Ji Fanyin racked her brains and thought for a long time, but she couldn't remember, who was that?
At this moment, Li Mubai's low laughter interrupted Ji Fanyin's thoughts.

She raised her head and looked at Li Mubai.

He kept his head slightly raised, and his whole person showed a very decadent state.

However, no matter how decadent he was, Li Mubai was still the proud young man.

He chuckled a few times like he was self-deprecating, then slowly spoke, saying:

"Baozi and I...were not relatives of any kind."

He paused, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, his low voice sounded again:
"To put it into perspective, she and I have no relationship at all...cousin, cousin? Haha..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ji Fanyin actually tasted a bit of...disgust from his laughter?
Li Mubai didn't look back. He didn't want to see how Ji Fanyin was looking at him.

Perhaps, one has endured it alone for too long and no longer wants to endure it alone.

Or maybe, it was the moment just now that brought him back to his childhood nightmare.Those whispering voices, those talking behind his back, the voices of buns...

Everything made him go crazy and wanted to roar, but he could only clench his gums and endure it with all his strength. If he endured it for a long time, he would forget how to resist and how to relieve himself.

Apart from the sound of wind, only Li Mubai's voice sounded low and hoarse:
"The current queen is not my biological mother."

"Actually, I already knew why my father doted on Concubine Liu without any bottom line. Not only did I know this, but the queen should have known it earlier than me."

Li Mubai's voice was very low, with a hint of coldness:

"After so many years, Concubine Liu is the one who is most like that woman among many people. That... the woman that my father wanted to get at all costs."

"...That's not right. Concubine Liu's eyes are just like hers, but this alone is enough to trap my father, hehe..."

Li Mubai smiled faintly, turned around and looked at Ji Fanyin:

"After so many years, Concubine Liu's hands have been stained with so many people's blood, I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know it. Baozi is too naive to know that the human heart is not sinister, only more sinister."

Before Ji Fanyin could speak, he continued as if venting his anger:
"I don't know whether Mu Chanyi was wrongly accused, but the death of the Seventh Prince is definitely related to Concubine Liu."

The corners of his lips raised, and he smiled coldly:

"Miss Ji, do you believe it? Even if Baozi finds out all the truth and can prove Mu Chanyi's innocence, my father will still kill Mu Chanyi in order to exonerate Concubine Liu."

Ji Fanyin's eyes flickered slightly and asked:

"Is it because of that little similarity?"

Li Mubai shook his head:
"You don't understand how important that little bit of resemblance is to my father. Just for this little bit of resemblance, my father would rather be blind than see the so-called truth. So, no matter how hard Baozi tries, it's useless. "

Ji Fanyin asked:
"Where is that woman now?"
