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

Then he looked back happily, only to find that Xiao Zhao had disappeared without him noticing.

Thinking that he must have been absorbed in learning this method, Xiao Zhao did not dare to disturb him and went to rest first. Li Mu did not go to look for him either.

He dressed himself and went back to the bedroom.

There was only one candle burning in the room.

When Li Mu passed by the couch, he deliberately glanced at it through the screen and frowned slightly.

"It's so late, where did this little girl go?"

Soon, he heard light footsteps coming from the direction of his couch and turned to look.

Xiao Zhao was only wearing a light red bellyband with lotus flowers and pink silk pants embroidered with ivy, and a pair of white and tender little feet were stepping on the ground.

Because he was a little nervous, Li Mu clearly saw that Xiao Zhao's toes, which looked like they were carved out of white jade, gently touched the floor, leaving a faint pink mark.

"Sir, are you looking for Xiao Zhao?"

Li Mu raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhao's cheek, and saw that her cheeks were blushing, her eyes were full of spring water, and her pink lips were slightly pursed.

Although he lowered his head slightly, it was different from usual.

Xiao Zhao also looked at Li Mu seriously with a firm look, but the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

"Xiao Zhao, what are you doing? Um, where is Yu Wei?"

Li Mu couldn't stand the little girl's fiery gaze, so he stopped asking halfway and changed the topic.

"Sister Yuwei has gone to the inner courtyard. Can you please not talk about her tonight and only think about Xiaozhao?"

As she spoke, Xiao Zhao had already walked in front of Li Mu and looked up at him.

Li Mu's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself, before he traveled through time, he had seen all kinds of revealing clothing.

The Xiao Zhao in front of me, at most only showed her arms, shoulders, and collarbones, but she was able to arouse me and make me feel excited.

However, Li Mu's hesitation made Xiao Zhao misunderstand, and the thing she was most worried about actually happened.

Tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes, but she still asked boldly with a trembling voice,

"Sir, are you angry with Xiao Zhao for not leaving the palace with you that day?"

Li Mu was slightly stunned. He felt that the little girl was a little strange these days. He didn't expect that she was entangled in this matter.

Just as he was about to explain, Xiao Zhao threw herself into Li Mu's arms, wrapped her arms tightly around Li Mu's waist, and sobbed,

"Xiao Zhao knows she was wrong. Sir, please forgive Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao knows she was wrong. She really knows she was wrong."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Li Mu was suddenly at a loss. He wanted to say something perfunctorily, saying that he was not angry, but when the words came to his lips, he could not say them.

How could Li Mu not be angry at that time?

Perhaps at first Li Mu thought that Xiao Zhao was a spy sent by Li Ling'er to monitor him, and the frivolous words and teasing actions were mostly mixed with a bit of revenge.

But Xiao Zhao used her gentleness and thoughtfulness to make Li Mu, who had just arrived in this strange world, feel warm.

At that time, Li Mu was indeed moved, so when he learned that Xiao Zhao was not here to monitor him, he subconsciously believed this statement and did not have any doubts at all.

Until Li Mu escaped from Prince Yan's Palace.

Perhaps he himself did not realize that his depression and indifference during that period might not only be due to Su Yuwei's death, but Xiao Zhao's "betrayal" also played a decisive role.

Later, Li Mu gradually untied the knot in his heart and thought back.

Only then did he realize that, in fact, there was no deep affection between him and Xiao Zhao. It was just that he was too weak at that time, both in strength and in heart, and that he was just seeking comfort for himself.

So when Li Mu thought about Xiao Zhao's decision at that time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It would be strange if she really left Prince Yan's Mansion with him.

But Xiao Zhao's performance today made Li Mu remember that feeling again, just like the sense of security he felt when he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and saw Xiao Zhao again.

Li Mu took a deep breath, raised his hand and stroked Xiao Zhao's smooth back, and said softly,

"Does Xiao Zhao like the young master?"

Xiao Zhao felt the warmth coming from behind her, her body trembled slightly, and then she said firmly,

"Yes, Xiao Zhao likes you, very much, very much."

"Young Master also likes Xiao Zhao."

Li Mu lowered his head, touched Xiao Zhao's tender lips, and smiled softly.

However, Xiao Zhao was not ready to let him go. She raised her hands and hugged Li Mu's neck, staring at Li Mu with burning eyes.

The little feet slightly raised, exhaled like orchids and said,

"Young Master, please take Xiao Zhao."

After saying that, he raised his chin and slowly closed his eyes.

Li Mu never expected that this little girl, who usually looked shy, could be so flirtatious at this moment.

The little flame that was already raised by Xiao Zhao suddenly burned to the top of his head. Just as he was about to lower his head and kiss her, his body paused again, frowning and thinking,

"This little girl looks like she's only sixteen or seventeen, but in this world, sixteen or seventeen should be old enough to get married. Should I be a beast, a beast, or a beast?"

Just as Li Mu was struggling with his conscience, his ears moved slightly and he cursed,

"I knew it!"

Xiao Zhao waited for a long time, but saw no movement from Li Mu. Then she heard Li Mu's words and was about to open her eyes when she felt her body lighten and she was picked up by Li Mu.

When Li Mu heard footsteps outside the house, he knew that someone was here to disrupt the situation again, so he simply picked up Xiao Zhao and continued the situation in another place.

However, just as Li Mu was about to pick up Xiao Zhao, he heard the door creak and was caught by Su Yuwei who came in.

Su Yuwei looked at Li Mu who had a smirk on his face, and then looked at Xiao Zhao who, in her eyes, was wearing nothing. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed, and she flashed in front of Li Mu.

"Husband, you can't, hurry up, put Xiao Zhao down."

Su Yuwei's tone was anxious, with a hint of tears in it, and she reached out to snatch Xiao Zhao from Li Mu's arms.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao was extremely embarrassed. She no longer had the courage she had before and buried her head in Li Mu's arms, not moving at all, not daring to make any sound.

Li Mu smiled awkwardly at Su Yuwei. He was caught stealing a maid by his wife. Even though Li Mu had become extremely thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed.

He strode over to Xiao Zhao's couch, put her down gently, pulled the thin quilt beside her and covered her with it. Before getting up, he secretly scratched Xiao Zhao's palm, then turned around and returned to Su Yuwei.

Xiao Zhao, who was lying on the soft couch, had almost fainted from embarrassment. She covered her head with the quilt, but held Li Mu's tickling little hand to her chest with a happy smile on her face.

"I did have some bad intentions towards Xiao Zhao just now, but I didn't do anything and you came."

Li Mu raised his hand and touched his nose, asking him to tell the truth and tell Su Yuwei that it was Xiao Zhao who came barefoot to seduce him. He really couldn't say this.

Su Yuwei burst out laughing, rolled her eyes at Li Mu, and said angrily,

"Really? If I were a little later, where would you take our Xiao Zhao?"

"That's not the case! It was Xiao Zhao who took the initiative to seduce you."

At this time, Xiao Zhao's anxious voice came from behind the screen. Although she was shy, her tone was unquestionable.

Su Yuwei glared at Li Mu again, hesitated for a moment, and said softly,

"How could I not see Xiao Zhao's feelings for her husband? She came alone with a huge axe in the rain to find her master. This is the first time since the Prince of Yan's Mansion."

Only then did Li Mu know what had happened after he escaped from Prince Yan's Mansion.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Zhao behind the screen, his eyes full of tenderness.

Xiao Zhao blushed immediately after hearing what Su Yuwei said. She didn't bother to explain for Li Mu anymore and crawled back into the thin quilt.

At this time, Su Yuwei's serious voice sounded in Li Mu's ears again.

"But, Junior Uncle just said that when my husband is around and we do that, the Qi in my body will circulate uncontrollably."

As he said this, he turned and walked towards Xiao Zhao's couch.

"So, from today on, my husband will live alone in this small courtyard. I originally wanted to leave Xiao Zhao to take care of my husband, but now it seems that Xiao Zhao must move to the inner courtyard with me."

Li Muwei was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke up to assure,

"There's no need for that. You guys live here, and I promise I can control myself and won't do anything rash."

Su Yuwei quickly helped Xiao Zhao put on his clothes and walked out the door with him. Before leaving, she whispered in a mosquito-like voice,

"I was afraid that I couldn't help myself. Now it seems that Xiao Zhao couldn't help himself either."
