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

Chapter 566: The Three Good Things of Jeju.

The flute sounds melodious and the dance moves are graceful.

The girl's dress fluttered as she danced gracefully in this not-so-spacious room.

Speaking of which, it was the first time that Li Mu had such "leisure" in this world.

When the music ended, the girl breathed softly, lowered her head and stood in the middle of the room again.

Li Mu frowned. Although the girl's dance was beautiful, it did not make him feel better.

"Forget it, let her leave. She doesn't seem very willing."

Jun Jiuling was also not interested. She was obviously more knowledgeable than Li Mu and could feel the sadness just from the sound of the girl's flute.

Li Mu nodded. He was just a little nervous before, but he was not really stupid. How could he not see the twists and turns here?

Liu Qiaoqiao's every move after she came in reflected her mood at the moment.

She was obviously forced to come by her father.

Li Mu never thought that there would be a day when he would become a bully.

"Very good, the dance is graceful, the music is beautiful, very good, very good."

Li Mu casually praised it. After all, applauding after a performance is a sign of respect for the fruits of others' labor.

However, Liu Qiaoqiao obviously didn't buy it, and there was even a hint of contempt in her eyes. He was indeed a playboy from a wealthy family who knew nothing.

However, after complaining, Liu Qiaoqiao began to worry about her fate again. Liu Fuhai's instructions when she came here still lingered in her ears.

"Meet all your requests."

As a spy, Liu Fuhai was obviously qualified. Even though she was his own daughter, Liu Fuhai did not reveal Li Mu's identity.

Just when Liu Qiaoqiao was worried about whether Li Mu would make some unreasonable demands next, she heard Li Mu say,

"Okay, we've had our tea, listened to the music, and watched Miss Qiaoqiao dance. Next...if there's nothing else to do, you can leave."

Liu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips tightly, and when she heard Li Mu say "next", her heart rose to her throat.

However, after hearing the next words, he was stunned. What did he mean by letting him go?

Her appearance and figure were among the best in the entire South City.

Is this person blind?

Liu Qiaoqiao looked up in surprise, wanting to see what the blind man looked like before leaving.

Although I was secretly happy, I felt more angry and unwilling.

Human hearts are like this. At first she felt sorry for herself and blamed her father for saying such things and treating her as an object for him to curry favor with the powerful.

But when the moment really came, she felt a little dissatisfied.

Especially her father, who had doted on her since she was a child, showed such an expression for the first time. It was more like a plea than an order.

She knew very well that the noble person her father mentioned was someone who could decide their life or death with just a word.

She was not stupid and knew that although her father was only the manager of a grain store on the surface, he was actually working for a big man with an extremely prominent status.

Because of her beauty, she was often coveted by wealthy merchants and nobles in Jiang City.

But those people, as long as they have the slightest thought, will die suddenly at home within a few days due to various coincidences.

So even though she was extremely reluctant, she still listened to Liu Fuhai and entered the room.

But right now, she seems to have screwed up.

"Sir..."

Liu Qiaoqiao spoke hurriedly, however, when she saw Li Mu's appearance clearly, she was stunned. How could there be such a handsome man in the world?

The legendary Prince of Yan is probably not even one tenth as good as the man in front of him.

For a moment, Liu Qiaoqiao was actually a little dazed.

The originally pale little face turned red.

Sure enough, her father loved her and always left the best things for her.

"I have other songs, and I can also..."

"No need, go tell Liu Fuhai to move faster!"

Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted Liu Qiaoqiao.

Liu Qiaoqiao's face turned pale, and she felt extremely regretful. She looked at the teacup on the table and hurriedly stepped forward and said,

"The tea is cold, I'll go change it for you...ah!"

In a panic, Liu Qiaoqiao slipped and fell forward, about to hit the still steaming tea.

Seeing this, Li Mu raised his eyebrows, reached out his hand, and put his arm around Liu Qiaoqiao's waist, then took the petite body into his arms.

Li Mu could see that Liu Qiaoqiao didn't do it on purpose, and even if she did, he wouldn't care.

His "gentlemanly manners" do not allow beautiful girls to fall in front of him, only in his arms.

This has nothing to do with identity or background, it only depends on appearance!

"More, more, sir." Liu Qiaoqiao was still in shock and thanked him in a soft voice, but did not struggle.

"Little fairy!"

Jun Jiuling, who was standing by, saw this scene and spat angrily, glaring at Li Mu fiercely with her beautiful eyes.

She was also very puzzled. How could the girl who looked reluctant just now immediately become so ready to be picked after being hugged by Li Mu?

Is this bastard really poisonous?

"Dong dong dong."

At this time, there was another knock on the door.

Liu Qiaoqiao's body trembled violently, and she subconsciously tried to push Li Mu away. However, her hand stopped abruptly when it was halfway out.

She just lowered her head shyly and pressed her cheek against Li Mu's chest.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and he just felt funny in his heart. He hugged Liu Qiaoqiao's waist and put her aside, saying,

"Come in."

Liu Fuhai pushed the door open and looked at Liu Qiaoqiao. Seeing that her cheeks were red and her clothes were a little messy, he didn't know what happened, so he quickly said,

"Subordinate, I will come back later."

Hearing this, Li Mu's mouth twitched, he raised his hand and slammed the door shut, and said in a slightly angry tone,

"Let's get down to business!"

Liu Fuhai was frightened and hurried into the house. He knelt down in front of Li Mu with a plop.

"I admit my guilt, I..."

"despair!"

Li Mu tapped the table with his finger. Liu Fuhai paused in his begging for mercy. He swallowed hard and continued,

"Qin Chou, the head of the Qin family in Jeju, is the second daughter of Qin Guan. When she was sixteen, she met Song Chun in Fengshan and later married Song Chun as his principal wife."

"When she was 19, she gave birth to a son for Song Chun, who is now Song Chun's eldest son. This woman is quite resourceful. The son and daughter born to Song Chun's concubines were all fostered under her name. All the affairs of Huatang County are also decided by this woman. Song Chun is just a second-generation rich man who only knows how to enjoy himself."

"As for the Qin family, the Qi family, and the Yu family, they are called the Three Good Faiths of Jeju by the people, but in fact they are the local tyrants of Jeju."

"The head of the Qin family, Qin Guan, is a kind and generous person, and is deeply loved by the people. I heard that he knows the art of astrology and divination, but there is no confirmation, it is just a rumor in the countryside."

"His eldest daughter, Qin Luo, is now in the palace and has been canonized as Consort Zhuang by His Majesty."

"The eldest son Qin Lin is the first disciple of the great Confucian scholar Bo Tan, one of the twelve great Confucian scholars, and the youngest daughter of the Qin family..."

"Alright! Talk about the Qi family!"

Li Mu waved his hand, knowing that without special arrangements, these spies would only collect these trivial matters.

"It is said that Qi Zhen, the head of the Qi family, fell ill a few years ago and has rarely appeared in public in recent years..."

"Forget it, what about the Yu family? Are there any connections between these three families?" Li Mu asked again.

"The Yu family... The Yu family is the largest medicinal material merchant in Jeju. The head of the family, Yu Tianci, is a famous local doctor, but he is not from a medical family. It is said that he wanted to become a disciple of a medical family when he was young, but for some unknown reason, the medical family did not accept him."

After saying this, Liu Fuhai looked at Li Mu cautiously, and then continued,

"As for the connection, although the three families are all Jeju's native families and seem to have no connection and have never intermarried, it is precisely because of this that the interests of the three families are intertwined and check and balance each other, so there is no sign of one family dominating."

"Moreover, I have accurate information that the Qi family and the Yu family seem to have the intention to unite and annex the Qin family together."

"Oh, really?" Li Mu smiled, then looked at Liu Fuhai, stood up and said,

"Remember my previous instructions."

Liu Fuhai seemed to be relieved and nodded rapidly.

"Don't worry, sir. I have already sent the message back."

Li Mu strode to the door, thought for a moment, then turned back and said,

"By the way, this tea is good."
