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

Chapter 630: Clever Xiao Zhao

Li Mu took a deep breath, a hint of loneliness appearing on his face.

The vicissitudes of life at that moment moved the two women beside him.

She wished she could hug Li Mu tightly in her arms and comfort him with her passion.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Qiaoqiao, who was under hypnosis, didn't have so many scheming thoughts. Seeing Li Mu like this, she was afraid but still spoke.

"Also, maybe the Sword Master didn't specifically want to target the Master."

Then, he looked at Teng Jingjing pleadingly.

"Manager Teng, can you talk to Captain Wenren to see if there is any misunderstanding here? Aren't we on the master's side?"

She naturally didn't know the twists and turns here, but when she heard that it might be the "Sword Master" who was fanning the flames and helping others to slander Li Mu's reputation, she spoke unconsciously.

In the past few days, Teng Jingjing was trying to make friends with her, and the two of them called each other sisters in private, so the first thing she thought of was to ask Teng Jingjing for help.

Li Mu looked at her in surprise. The word "master" really made Li Mu feel a little numb.

He knew that it was his unintentional sentimentality that made the girl change her mind.

But now, Li Mu didn't seem to want to correct it.

Liu Qiaoqiao really wanted to get closer to Li Mu, but she didn't dare. She gave herself the psychological hint of inferiority, and what she just said was a breakthrough of her existing personality.

At one side, Jun Jiuling had sat down opposite Li Mu at some point, looking at him with suspicion.

She noticed Li Mu's emotions just now. Although she didn't know why, she also wanted to comfort Li Mu.

I happened to see Li Mu's lonely expression.

She knew Li Mu too well. In fact, the two of them could be considered an old couple who had lived together for more than ten years.

Li Mu might have felt a little uncomfortable just now, but it was definitely not something that would show on the surface.

In other words, Li Mu would not reveal his true emotions casually.

Jun Jiuling glanced at the two distressed little girls and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You don't trust them, you dog man?"

Li Mu showed an obvious forced smile, but in his heart he said to Jun Jiuling calmly,

"No, I just want to practice in advance in case my ancestral skills become rusty."

Jun Jiuling didn't understand what he meant and asked again.

At this time, Teng Jingjing spoke with some entanglement,

"Sir, there is one more thing..."

Li Mu looked at her, hiding the loneliness in his eyes, and asked with a slightly surprised expression,

"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

Teng Jingjing gritted her teeth and spoke directly without knowing why.

"Someone is trying to find out about the young master."

"Someone?"

"Yes, it should be the Sword Master. She is looking for the young master."

Now that the words have been spoken, Teng Jingjing will no longer hide it.

The main information that the spies of the Zongheng family have been trying to find out recently is Li Mu's whereabouts.

"You, sold me out?" Li Mu smiled but was not very excited.

Seeing this, Teng Jingjing hurriedly shook her head, her breathing quickened for a moment.

"No, no! I was planning to tell you, Master."

Li Mu slightly curled his lips, with a somewhat ambiguous smile, and took Teng Jingjing's hand to let her sit next to him, with an ambiguous tone,

"Does this count as betrayal of the Zongheng family?"

Teng Jingjing would indeed blush at Li Mu, who was previously overbearing, condescending and always teasing her.

But fear and anxiety still account for the majority.

But at this moment, seeing Li Mu so gentle and elegant, and someone who made people want to get close to him even though they knew he had bad intentions, really made the girl's heart flutter.

Teng Jingjing pursed her lips tightly, feeling the warmth coming from her palms, nodded first, then shook her head vigorously and said,

"No, it doesn't count. This is the master's order. While in the capital, I am his man, so I have to consider him first in everything."

On the side, Jun Jiuling rolled his eyes.

What's so good about this bastard? It's only been a few days. Do you think you'd betray the Zongheng family and be so sincere to him?

Thinking about the fact that she had been with Li Mu for more than half a year in her dream, she began to feel a little moved. Moreover, her memory was sealed at that time, so she was not the original her.

The pride of being the queen arose spontaneously.

But she forgot that she was the ninth princess at that time, but she was captured by a wild boy who was picked up at random within half a year. There was nothing to brag about.

……

On the other side, there is an exquisite waterside pavilion.

Yin Huanping frowned, and her brows had hardly relaxed at all during this period.

Zhang Hanrui did the same. After reading the intelligence handed over by the spy, she slammed her fist heavily on the table.

"Stinky boy, there's no news at all in such a long time!"

"Han Rui, could he, could he suddenly go insane..."

Yin Huanping bit her red lips hard, trying her best to calm herself, but her nails from her fists hidden under the table had already sunk into her flesh.

"Impossible!" Zhang Hanrui denied it outright, but her face turned slightly pale.

Before, even when Li Mu was in the Southern Region, the spies of the Zongheng Family could occasionally send back news about him.

But this time, there has been no news at all about Li Mu for such a long time since he left Jiangcheng. How can people not be worried?

"Auntie."

At this time, Li Ling'er pushed the door and ran into the house.

She had a bright smile on her face, and was dressed in a red outfit, with her body and face covered in mud.

Zhang Hanrui frowned and looked at her with a somewhat cold tone.

"What's the matter?"

Li Linger was stunned, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, she lowered her head slightly, and said with some grievance,

"He, he is outside the mansion."

"So what?" Zhang Hanrui tilted her head slightly, her tone indifferent, no emotion visible.

Li Linger pulled the corner of her clothes with both hands, pursed her lips, and cautiously asked,

"He, he said he hasn't seen my aunt for many years, and he misses, misses..."

"Li Ling'er!" Zhang Hanrui slammed her jade hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"Have you forgotten how your mother died?"

Li Linger raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with tears, but her expression remained stubborn.

"Aunt, don't you think that what happened back then was just based on the one-sided statement of the nanny..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Hanrui stood up and took two steps closer to Li Linger, her voice icy cold.

"After the Hundred Family Summit tomorrow, you will return to Yanshan, and I will let you get married when your brother-in-law comes back."

"I, I won't marry."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Linger's tears started to flow.

Zhang Hanrui was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to be so mean to Li Ling'er. She originally thought that when she mentioned the marriage, Li Ling'er would happily agree, but she never expected that she would have this attitude.

She thought that Li Linger's refusal two days ago was just out of girlish shyness, but now it seems that she has obviously made up her mind.

"Ling'er...why?" Zhang Hanrui was very puzzled. How could she not see Li Ling'er's thoughts? Was it because of Shanyuan?

Li Ling'er kept silent, tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Hanrui looked in the direction outside the mansion, narrowed his eyes, and walked out of the house.

main hall.

Shanyuan was also covered in mud, his smile was gentle but his eyes were filled with anxiety.

Xiao Zhao stood at the door of the main hall, his brows tightly furrowed and his expression very unfriendly.

She was the one who invited the person in, not for any other reason but because she had heard the recent rumors. Keeping the person out of the house at this time would damage the reputation of her young master.

Of course, she had other thoughts. Li Mu had said more than once that he hated this person.

She doesn't care about the real prince or the fake prince.

Everyone says Xiao Zhao is stupid, but Xiao Zhao is not stupid at all. The open and secret fighting has caused so much trouble.

Three hundred guards, four Tianzong elders, Chuntao's four daughters, Diemeng, Yuanbao, and Lu Jianjia who was forcibly pulled out of her dream.

She asked all the people she could for help, and the entire main hall was surrounded inside and out. With such a situation, even the contemporary Confucian scholar would have to work hard to get out safely.

Later, if Shan Yuan says that she doesn't like to hear it, Duan Zhaodi will take the blame for her master's murder and seizure of the throne.
