clean conscience
No inner accusations
A clean conscience is the state of feeling no guilt or moral responsibility for wrongdoing.
Someone with a clean conscience has done nothing they believe to be wrong, or has made amends for past wrongs: I can say with a clean conscience that I never lied to her.
The opposite is a guilty conscience.
