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

Chapter 574 Xiao Xiaozhao.

"Mei, Mei'er! Ouch...don't, don't twist your ears, be careful, be careful with the child!"

Prince Yan had his ear grabbed by Danmei, and his face looked extremely aggrieved.

Seeing such a "heartwarming" scene, Li Mu's heart seemed to calm down a lot.

This situation did make Li Mu panic, but he seemed to have a strong ability to adapt. He could not resist and just treated it as an immersive 3D movie.

Experience other people’s lives.

The time in the picture seemed to pass very quickly. Li Mu's thoughts would fall into chaos from time to time. When he came back to his senses, the scene in front of him had already passed a long time ago.

"Sister, don't worry, there must be another way."

"In two months it will be Mu'er's sixth birthday. Please let me, let me..."

Next to my ears, I could hear the sobbing that Danmei was trying hard to suppress.

Several people should be in a carriage.

Li Mu remembered that the last time he was awake, they arrived in the Southern Region. It seemed that due to the original owner's physical condition, they moved very slowly on this trip to the Southern Region.

I often rest in one place for a long time.

"Mother, Father!"

At this time, the sound of a little girl crying was heard in the carriage.

The little girl huddled in the corner of the carriage, looking dirty and no more than two or three years old.

Her eyelashes were very long and her eyes were tightly closed. She must have been talking in her sleep.

Zhang Hanrui frowned, looked back at her, and whispered,

"Sister, what should we do with this little girl?"

Danmei raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the little girl, and sighed,

"Let's wait and see. The guard who went to get the news should be back soon."

"Princess, I found out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the guard reporting was heard outside the carriage.

"Speak!" Shanmei said lightly.

"Does anyone recognize the axe that was picked up with the girl? The girl was also adopted before. The family that picked her up only knew her last name was Duan. Because the family had no children, they named her Zhaodi."

"But seven days ago, the woman in that family gave birth to a baby boy. I guess the girl was abandoned again."

"Asshole! Sister, wait a minute, I'll go find that family right away!"

Zhang Hanrui's tone was filled with resentment, and there was murderous intent in her eyes.

Shan Mei pressed his hand, signaling her to calm down, and asked,

"Why do you want to come? Haven't you seen that family?"

"My princess, the village was robbed by bandits three days ago. I heard the news from several women who were not in the village at the time. When we went there, the bodies had already been dealt with by the Wu Clan."

Hearing this, the two of them looked at the little girl. This way, although she was abandoned, she also escaped a disaster.

"Sister, what about her?" Zhang Hanrui pursed her lips and asked.

Shanmei thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Go to the village ahead and ask if there is anyone willing to adopt her."

"Mother, take her back home."

At this time, little Li Mu in the carriage sat up with great effort.

Shanmei was a little hesitant. She really wanted to agree, but people from the Southern Region never left the Southern Region. This was an established rule.

"Auntie!"

At this moment, Xiao Xiaozhao, who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes, kicked over the low table in front of him, and crawled towards Zhang Hanrui.

Zhang Hanrui was obviously a little resistant and subconsciously slapped away Xiao Zhao's hand that was reaching out to her.

Then, Xiao Zhao cried out "wow". However, when she saw Zhang Hanrui's cold face with her big eyes, she quickly covered her mouth, as if she was afraid that her crying would annoy others.

Zhang Hanrui also knew that she had overreacted, so she tentatively poked Xiao Zhao's face with her finger and said helplessly,

"I didn't mean it. Don't cry. Look at that brat. He has never cried since he was born."

Xiao Xiaozhao's shoulders twitched, apparently confused. He reached out his little hand tentatively to grab the hem of Zhang Hanrui's skirt, but pulled his hand back halfway through.

"Aunt, she seems to like you very much. She must be hungry."

Young Li Mu in the carriage spoke jokingly, but his tone was clearly not what one would expect from someone of his age.

However, Shan Mei and Zhang Hanrui didn't think there was anything wrong. They were already accustomed to the smart little Li Mu.

Zhang Hanrui's cheeks turned a little red. She naturally understood the meaning of Li Mu's words. She gave him a cold look and then extended her hand to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao was obviously still a little scared and subconsciously shrank back.

Seeing this, Zhang Hanrui withdrew her hand, thought for a moment, then grabbed the hem of her skirt and handed it to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Xiaozhao looked at the corner of the skirt in front of her, then looked up at Zhang Hanrui, then reached out and held the corner of the skirt in her hand, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she curled up beside Zhang Hanrui's legs like a kitten.

She seemed to know her limits. Apart from pulling at the hem of Zhang Hanrui's skirt, she always kept a distance from Zhang Hanrui.

"Auntie..."

She was obviously very tired and fell asleep again in just a moment.

Zhang Hanrui looked at the sleeping Xiao Zhao, with a rare hint of tenderness in her eyes. Then, she frowned and pursed her lips and said,

"What mother? Call me sister!"

Seeing this scene, Shanmei sighed slightly and compromised.

"Okay, Xiao Rui, when we get to Yanshan City, go buy a few girls who are about her age. Pick those who have no parents and choose them as personal maids for Ling'er."

"Choosing a maid? My brother-in-law seems to want Ling'er to go to the capital to study. I'm afraid she won't be able to catch up."

Hearing this, Zhang Hanrui subconsciously started to sabotage.

Danmei narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and poked Zhang Hanrui's forehead, and said unhappily,

"You little girl, how could you not know what I mean? Are you playing dumb in front of me?"

Zhang Hanrui smiled, hugged Shanmei's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly,

"I am just a silly girl in front of my sister."

Seeing this scene, Li Mu immediately took a breath of cold air.

I didn’t expect that my aunt, who always acts like a queen, actually has this side of her.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a cell phone, otherwise I would definitely record it and use it to threaten her next time I challenge her to the “name changing contest”.

At this moment, that feeling of confusion came over me again.

Li Mu cursed secretly, feeling a little angry.

From beginning to end, he never saw what Xiao Zhao looked like as a child.

This picture is from a first-person perspective, and Li Mu can't see whatever he wants.

What made Li Mu angry was that whenever Zhang Hanrui was present, there was almost no trace of anyone else appearing in the picture.

The original owner obviously had a deep obsession with Zhang Hanrui.

This made Li Mu, who was already petty, even more murderous.

"Dog man, dog man!"

Just when Li Mu was about to fall into the quagmire-like chaos again, Jun Jiuling's crisp voice suddenly came to his ears.

Li Mu regained consciousness instantly and then sat up abruptly.

Looking around, I saw the old round table, candlesticks, and wooden barrels that had not been put away. It was the same inn as before.

"Is it a dream?"

Li Mu frowned slightly, and the scene he saw in his dream flashed through his mind.

In front of the bed, Jun Jiuling's shadow floated in the air, looking at him with a worried look on his face.

"What happened, dog man?"

"I seem to have had a dream..." Li Mu rubbed his temple tiredly. Just as he was about to speak, a voice full of surprise came to his ears.

"My lord, you're awake!"

Li Mu was stunned and turned his head to look. He saw Cang Zhi rubbing his sleepy eyes at the innermost side of the bed and looking at him with a happy face.

"Why is she here?"

Li Mu asked this question in his mind, and the target was naturally Jun Jiuling.

Jun Jiuling heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Mu seemed to be fine.

"Not only her, but also the mother and daughter from the farm. They found this place that night. You slept for three days and three nights."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows. He naturally noticed something unusual. Just as he was about to ask again, he heard an extremely coquettish female voice outside the house.

"Everyone, get out of my way! I want to see what kind of distinguished guest is there who would postpone my birthday party!"
