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

Chapter 786 The youngest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Duaner.

"This servant cannot leave you, sir."

Cang Zhi's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a very small matter.

"So no matter how you deal with me, I will have no complaints."

Li Mu remained silent, staring at Cang Zhi for a long time before waving,

"come over."

Seeing this, Cangzhi's body trembled slightly, then a look of rejection flashed in his eyes, and he crawled to Li Mu's feet.

Li Mu put Ying Yu down from his legs, bent down and helped Cang Zhi up.

"You go."

Li Mu stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to touch Cang Zhi's cheek, but his hand stopped abruptly halfway.

Cangzhi burst into tears, and tears slid down her cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.

Her beautiful red lips slightly raised, she choked up and spoke,

"Your servant, your servant thanks you, sir."

Li Mu closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Cang Zhi took two steps back, bowed to Li Mu, and disappeared in a flash.

"Sir, just let her go like this..."

After hearing what Cangzhi said, Qiuju was already furious, but before she could finish her words, she was persuaded by Dongmei.

"Okay, I want to be quiet for a while."

Li Mu waved his hand, and prepared to leave with a lonely figure.

"Qing Yi."

At this time, Meng Siyu called him.

Li Mu turned around with a questioning look in his eyes.

"We should discuss the cooperation in detail."

Li Mu looked at her deeply, and after a long silence, he nodded, "Okay."

"Sir, there are also Yayin and Yake."

Qiuju reminded quietly, her tone full of trepidation.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's go back and rest first."

Li Mu waved his hand, then walked towards his own courtyard without looking back.

...

"What did you talk to Xiao Ning today?"

In the room, Meng Siyu kept asking about trivial matters.

Although they clearly said they wanted to discuss cooperation, she took a long time to get to the point, and even got closer and closer to Li Mu.

"Yu...er."

Li Mu looked at her strangely, even with a hint of amusement in the corners of his eyes, completely lacking the dejected look he had shown before.

"Ah."

Meng Siyu seemed to like Li Mu calling her that, and she responded softly, her head resting on Li Mu's shoulder without her noticing.

"Who were you thinking about more when you went to the doctor's house today?"

"Didn't you say we were going to discuss cooperation?"

Li Mu tilted his head to look at her but did not push her away.

"Not happy?"

Meng Siyu raised her eyes and looked at Li Mu's profile, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.

"Or, I'll go find Xiao Ning later, in the evening..."

"Sister Ning'er can't know!"

Li Mu grabbed her hand and spoke in a very harsh tone.

"Why?" Meng Siyu frowned.

"What are you afraid of?"

"What do you think?" Li Mu said in an unhappy tone, then pushed Meng Siyu away and said in a serious tone,

"Let's talk about cooperation."

"Ah."

Meng Siyu raised her eyebrows, glanced at her hand that was a little painful from being held by Li Mu, and sneered,

"You weren't like this that day."

"How come you're bored after just one day?"

"Let's get down to business first."

Li Mu let go of Meng Siyu and turned his head slightly away from her.

Unexpectedly, Meng Siyu suddenly stood up, sat on Li Mu's legs, held Li Mu's face and forced him to look at her.

"You little brat, you looked so distraught just now because of that little girl."

"Why, how am I not as good as that girl? I am not worth your worrying about me?"

"Oh, I never worry about a woman who has deceived me."

Li Mu sneered, his words hinted at something else.

Hearing this, Meng Siyu's eyes flashed with an unnatural look, but she concealed it well. Her lips gently brushed against the tip of Li Mu's nose, and she said softly,

"If you can't bear to part with that girl, why do you need to let her go?"

"Are you comforting me?"

"if not?"

Meng Siyu lowered her head and bit Li Mu's thin lips, trying to make him take the initiative.

"You shouldn't have any concerns about what you want."

"You are troubled only because you are not strong enough."

She wrapped her arms around Li Mu's neck, her breathing gradually became heavier, and her heavy, hoarse voice was full of temptation.

"As long as you ask, I will bring that girl back."

"Do you understand? Why don't you speak?"

Li Mu opened his mouth and bit the tip of her tongue, then held down the restless woman and raised his head and shouted,

"Come in!"

Meng Siyu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she saw Cang Zhi, who was supposed to leave, appear in front of them.

"Son."

Cang Zhi lowered his head and saluted Li Mu without looking away.

Meng Siyu hurriedly got off Li Mu, straightened her messy dress, and looked at Li Mu in confusion.

"What do you mean, little brat?"

Li Mu did not explain, but looked at Cang Zhi.

Cang Zhi raised his head, his eyes full of excitement, and asked,

"I wonder what you need me to do next?"

Li Mu stood up, looked at the woman who was a few centimeters shorter than him, and nodded slightly.

Then he took out the pure white mask from his sleeve and placed it on her face.

"I remember you knew ventriloquism."

"Yes, witch language is not difficult to master. I learned it when I was young."

Cangzhi nodded.

It is said that the Rongyi people practice witchcraft, including ventriloquism, lip reading, concealment, bone shrinking, disguise, and a series of other tricks.

The girls in the Aoi family learn these from a young age.

Originally, Li Mu was very interested when he heard the word witchcraft, but he never thought it would be these.

"How is the practice of Yin Yang family's skills going?"

Li Mu asked again.

"Just, I've just started."

Cangzhi answered honestly.

Li Mu was not surprised, as she had a way to make Cangzhi's strength improve by leaps and bounds.

"Go to the Wenxiang Pavilion outside the East City to find Teng Jingjing. She will tell you what to do next."

"Remember, you only get one chance. Wait for me there tonight."

"Yes!"

Cangzhi disappeared in response.

Before in the front hall, she understood Li Mu’s meaning. She never expected that Li Mu was willing to give her another chance.

However, her excited tears and the uncontrollable smile almost exposed her.

So much so that she didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly disappeared from the front hall.

"You little brat, you want that girl to pretend to be you...Mu Li?"

Meng Siyu frowned and looked at him, feeling that she had been fooled by the man in front of her.

Before, I just thought that Li Mu was pretending to be strong after entering the house.

She tried her best to comfort the wounded little heart.

Now it seems that the clown is actually herself.

Li Mu shrugged, hugged Meng Siyu back to his lap, groped her earlobe with his lips, and said seductively,

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue with the previous topic."

"You told me not to worry. Did you start with that?"

"You little bastard!"

Meng Siyu put her hands on Li Mu's chest, leaned back as hard as she could, and gritted her teeth,

"First, let's talk business!"

"Otherwise, don't touch me!"

Li Mu was just teasing her. He couldn't tell how he felt about the fact that she was willing to spend time and effort to comfort him when he thought she was heartbroken.

I just felt that my dislike for her had decreased a little.

Although he didn't let her go, he didn't tease her anymore.

There was one thing she said that really concerned Li Mu, "You have troubles only because you are not strong enough."

Li Mu held Meng Siyu in his arms, his body swaying slightly, his tone sounding like he was coaxing a child.

"The Queen intends to arrange a marriage for Mu Li. Do you know about this?"

"Nature knows."

Meng Siyu obviously didn't buy into Li Mu's tricks, she chuckled and said,

"A wild girl is worthy of your concern?"

"Wild girl?"

Li Mu was puzzled. He remembered Mu Zhen said that the woman was the sister of a noble concubine in the palace. She was at least a lady from a wealthy and noble family.

Meng Siyu glanced at Li Mu with contempt in her tone.

"When I left yesterday, I sent someone to inquire about Qin Duan'er, the youngest daughter of the Qin family in Jeju."

"The previous incident with the Fangji family caused the Yuqi and Yuqi families in Jeju to disappear one after another. Instead, the Qin family took advantage of the situation and became the only century-old family in Jeju."

"You little brat, there's one thing you may not know. The third daughter of the Qin family is not married to an ordinary person."

"My eldest daughter, Qin Ling, is the imperial concubine in the palace, and my youngest daughter is now going to marry you, the future Prince of Zhennan."

"As for the Third Miss, you probably can't imagine who her husband's family is..."

Li Mu had a strange expression on his face. He answered without waiting for Meng Siyu to finish.

"The second son of King Jiang, Song Yu?"
