I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 725: Teng Jingjing: "Sir, we found the person."

Li Mu just glanced at Duan Zheng and then looked away.

Seeing how intimate Xiao Zhao was with her just now, I knew that the two of them must be getting along well.

The woman was rude to her and was the first to complain.

Xiao Zhao didn't expect Duan Zheng's reaction to be so big.

Logically speaking, shouldn't covering one's face and running away be the normal reaction?

What's going on with this rush?

Didn't see it clearly, want to taste it up close?

She was about to step forward to stop him, but she paused.

Although Li Mu spoke powerfully, he still covered his key parts with clothes without making a sound.

However, Duan Zheng's actions seemed more like she was helping Li Mu to dress himself.

Every movement seemed designed.

By the time she reacted, her elder sister had already dressed Li Mu neatly.

Xiao Zhao covered her mouth and chuckled, muttering softly, "Young Master still loves to play tricks on me."

Li Mu pretended to be very surprised and looked down at himself, then saluted to Duan Zheng and said,

"Thank you, Patriarch Duan."

"you!"

Duan Zheng was so angry that she jumped up and down, and wanted to attack again.

Xiao Zhao held her slender waist tightly.

"Sister, I told you to wait outside the courtyard. This is Miss Jianjia's courtyard. We were the ones who barged in first."

Duan Zheng is not a child, so how could she not know that she is in the wrong?

Shouting at Li Mu was more to cover up the embarrassment.

He snorted coldly and turned his head away as a compromise.

In the past two days, Xiao Zhao took her to play in the mansion.

She then discovered that the servants in the mansion treated Xiao Zhao as if she were the mistress of the house.

As Xiaozhao's elder sister, her treatment naturally increased.

Just now, when she saw the beautiful apricot blossoms in the yard, she asked Xiao Zhao to bring her in to have a look.

Who knew that I could not only enjoy the flowers, but also watch the birds...

Li Mu was still thinking about what had just happened and did not take the initiative to pay attention to Duan Zheng.

Lu Jianjia's reaction was inconsistent, and it shouldn't be what he had guessed.

But if it is really not, I don’t know how to explain it.

But when he thought of that sad, helpless and somewhat frightened little look, Li Mu felt a little scared.

Of course he liked Lu Jianjia, but their relationship was probably not to the point where they could be naked together.

But ever since the first time I met Lu Jianjia, she has been a proactive and direct girl who doesn't hide her feelings.

Li Mu didn't think so much.

What's more, the girl took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Even if Li Mu thought of it, he would probably forget it temporarily.

Li Mu really couldn't figure it out and thought that he should wait until he met Lu Caiwei before asking her.

If it is really as I guessed, I must teach that girl a lesson.

"Sir?"

Seeing that Li Mu was in a daze, Xiao Zhao thought he was angry, so she pursed her lips and called out to him.

Li Mu came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Zhao, only then he realized that her outfit today was a little special. It looked a bit like the style of the Southern Region, but not entirely.

Xiao Zhao followed Li Mu's gaze, looked down at herself, and immediately began to explain,

"This, this was designed by my sister."

"The ban on the Southern Region has been lifted. In the future, I will have to interact with other states in Xing Dynasty. My clothes cannot be too unique, but I cannot lose the characteristics of the Southern Region either..."

Xiao Zhao chattered away, talking about the future plans for the Southern Region and the concept of clothing design.

Li Mu didn't react at first, but after listening for a while he finally understood.

The little girl is just joking.

Li Mu did not expose the little girl's thoughts. He stretched out his hand and pinched her chubby little face, and asked with a smile,

"Sister? It seems like you two are getting along well."

Xiao Zhao nodded shyly, then seemed to realize something and hurriedly explained,

"Sir, Xiao Zhao is not an unwanted child. Xiao Zhao..."

"I know, as long as Xiao Zhao is happy, none of this matters."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhao nodded vigorously, rubbing her face against Li Mu's palm, and said softly,

"You are so nice, young master."

Li Mu really didn't care. On the one hand, family ties were not so easy to give up, and Li Mu's previous thoughts were a bit too idealistic.

On the other hand, as he said, as long as Xiao Zhao is happy, the Duan family has to act like friendly elders even if they are just pretending.

I don’t know since when, Li Mu’s loser mentality gradually faded.

Gradually began to think about problems from another perspective.

For a few moments, Li Mu seemed to feel that he had been in a high position for a long time...

"Li Mu!"

At this time, Duan Zheng turned around and spoke awkwardly.

Li Mu glanced at her, but his face was not as gloomy as before.

"Sister, is there something wrong?"

Hearing the word "sister", Duan Zheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Mu with a complicated look.

This man...actually compromised because of Xiao Zhao?

In the past two days, Xiao Zhao told her a lot about Li Mu, but she didn't understand anything else.

Just based on the two events of Li Mu's coming to Guandong to pacify the Ran Nu and Jing'an killing the Rongyi in Xicheng, the impression of Li Mu in her mind had a qualitative leap.

She had been unhappy with Li Mu before, firstly because Li Mu had been disrespectful to her, Man Wu, and secondly because of Xiao Zhao.

But Li Mu's deeds really made her feel a little uneasy.

Duan Zheng bit her lip, and her ears felt hot when she thought of the stunning glimpse she had just had.

"Sir, my sister knows that there is a caravan in your house, and she wants to promote these dresses she designed."

When Xiao Zhao saw her carefree elder sister suddenly become shy, she didn't think much about it and spoke up for her to express her request.

Li Mu tilted his head to look at her, and seeing Xiao Zhao's anxious look, he smiled and said,

"From now on, Xiao Zhao can make his own decisions on matters like this."

"Well... go find Mingyan. As I recall, the Lin family's main business in the past was clothing. She has been in charge for so long, so I guess it's not a big deal."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up, and she threw herself into Li Mu's arms, humming softly,

"Sir, tonight, it's time to go back to the courtyard..."

Xiao Zhao's voice was so soft, so soft that it seemed only she could hear it.

Li Mu frowned. He had just decided to stay with Lu Jianjia every night for the next few days.

As far as I can remember, I almost always saw Caiwei at night.

Combined with Xia He's previous report on the three troublemakers, Li Mu roughly estimated the time when the two sisters would appear.

Li Mu remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Zhao seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly hugged Li Mu again, and explained hurriedly,

"That's not what Xiao Zhao meant. My lord has important things to do. Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao..."

Li Mu lowered his head and touched Xiao Zhao's lips, thinking to himself, "Can you please not be so sensible? It makes me feel guilty."

At this time, Xia He and Teng Jingjing walked in one after another.

"Sir, Miss Teng is here."

With the presence of an outsider like Duan Zheng, Xia He looked cold and indifferent, as if she was not someone to be trifled with.

Teng Jingjing glanced at Duan Zheng, then at Xiao Zhao, with surprise flashing in her eyes.

However, since Li Mu didn't say anything, she didn't speak directly.

Li Mu patted Xiao Zhao on the back and said softly,

"Go ahead, go find Mingyan with Sister first."

"Ah."

Xiao Zhao responded and turned to pull Duan Zheng. She knew that Li Mu had something to discuss and it was not convenient for Duan Zheng to be present.

Of course Duan Zheng also understood the meaning. She glanced at Li Mu out of the corner of her eye, snorted, turned around and left.

Teng Jingjing lowered her head until Xia He bumped her with the back of her hand. Then she looked up at Li Mu, asking for credit in her tone.

"Sir, the person has been found."
