Chapter 629 Who cheated on whom?
"Son."
At this time, the door opened.
Teng Jingjing, dressed in plain clothes, walked in quickly.
When Li Mu saw her that night, she was wearing a very bright dress with a very wide neckline, and one could almost see her delicate collarbone.
This was nothing to Li Mu, but in this world, women usually wore half-high cross-collars that covered half of their necks, so this dress was quite bold.
Her eyebrows were delicately drawn, and her lips were dotted with crystal strawberry red lipstick. Her already rosy face was covered with a beautiful rouge color that Li Mu could not describe.
It adds a bit of mature feminine charm to her originally delicate face.
But since that night, Teng Jingjing returned to the way she was when Li Mu first met her.
The plain dress is fresh and refined, and her unpainted makeup has the delicate and pretty look that is unique to women from the south of the Yangtze River.
She walked to Li Mu's side, glanced at Liu Qiaoqiao who looked a little unhappy, and then spoke,
"Sir, that person..."
Teng Jingjing seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a strange expression on her face.
Li Mu turned his gaze towards her. Although he had seen Teng Jingjing's face a lot in the past two days, Li Mu's expression changed slightly.
It’s not that Teng Jingjing is so beautiful, but that she is clean, the kind of cleanliness that is hard to describe.
This made Li Mu think of another girl with the same clear eyes, Xu Youzhi.
But unlike Xu Youzhi, Teng Jingjing's cleanliness is pure, which may be attributed to her superb acting skills. At least, this appearance has only appeared since that night.
Xu Youzhi is more popular because of her beautiful appearance.
The light blue teardrop mole at the corner of her eye adds a lot of charm to her.
Li Mu retracted his gaze slightly. He knew that even if his eyes were just admiration, it would bring a lot of pressure to the girl. He frowned in a businesslike manner and said,
"Stop hesitating. Just say what you want to say."
Teng Jingjing of course noticed Li Mu's gaze, and felt a little secretly happy in her heart, but she did not show it, and said in the same tone of a subordinate reporting,
"That person became famous..."
"Famous?" Li Mu was stunned. He naturally knew that Teng Jingjing was talking about Shan Yuan, but this famous was puzzling.
Teng Jingjing nodded, raised her eyelids slightly, as if she was organizing her words, and then she paused for a moment before continuing,
"Many people in the outer city and even the surrounding areas are talking about him. Maybe because of the guidance of Xingbao, many people are now comparing him with the young master."
"Compare?" Li Mu immediately became interested. He turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a bit of cynicism. He supported his chin with his right hand and took the opportunity to carefully look at Teng Jingjing again.
"Expand and tell me."
Teng Jingjing felt as if she was electrocuted. Her heart was pounding and her fair face was flushed with two faint blushes.
I was startled and tried to control my emotions, but my voice couldn't remain calm.
"Many people knew his identity and stood up for him, saying that the Prince of Yan was being unfair to his own son for the sake of a fake... fake prince."
"Of course, most of the people in the capital are sensible and praise the King of Yan for keeping his promise. The young master is even more... even more..."
Teng Jingjing had been observing Li Mu's expression, thinking that if Li Mu showed any impatience, she would shut up immediately.
Li Mu waved his hand, apparently not surprised, but just found it a little funny, and asked hesitantly,
“Is there anyone behind this who is fanning the flames?”
Hearing this, Teng Jingjing's expression changed slightly, and she whispered,
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, sir. There is indeed someone behind the scenes deliberately spreading rumors."
"Who?" Li Mu asked.
Teng Jingjing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said,
"Should be, it should be someone from our Zongheng family."
"..."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, with doubt in his eyes, "Wenren Yiqing?"
Teng Jingjing frowned and said uncertainly,
"Probably not. I don't have any information about this."
As she spoke, Teng Jingjing paused for a moment before continuing,
"But if I don't get any information, then the one who gave the order could only be that person."
"Who?" Li Mu looked at Teng Jingjing. He knew that this woman was not deliberately keeping him in suspense, but he still showed a little displeasure.
There was obvious admiration in Teng Jingjing's eyes. Then she noticed Li Mu's expression and said hurriedly,
"Sir, have you heard of the Sword Master Zongheng?"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows. Although he had expected it when Teng Jingjing said that just now, he still confirmed it.
"Are you sure it's her?"
Teng Jingjing nodded vigorously, then shook her head, with a complicated expression.
"The only one who can command so many spies at once is the Sword Master, but if it is really the Sword Master, I shouldn't have guessed it."
Li Mu lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He didn't expect that his stunning aunt would give him such a big "surprise".
Could it be that she, like that girl Li Ling'er, also "rebelled"?
Previously in his dream, Li Mu could see that the relationship between the original owner and Zhang Hanrui was actually very harmonious.
Especially since although the original owner had the appearance of a six-year-old child, the way he spoke, acted, and even the temperament he exuded was enough to tease Zhang Hanrui, who was still a little girl.
Li Mu noticed the way Zhang Hanrui looked at the original owner, or rather, the way she looked at herself in her dream.
Maybe at first I just treated those teasing words as the innocent talk of a child.
But as time went by, Li Mu clearly saw the complex look in Zhang Hanrui's eyes when she looked at "him".
Li Mu is very familiar with the tactic of boiling a frog in warm water.
Even if Zhang Hanrui was as smart as a demon, there was no way she could realize that she would have feelings for a little kid.
There is a kind of liking called habit. One day, Zhang Hanrui discovered that the little boy had grown up and was no longer the boy who knew nothing.
That kind of original feeling can easily deteriorate.
Then use some small tricks that vary according to the person, whether it is being close or distant, or bravely charging forward, no matter how thick the iceberg is, it will melt.
In the world before Li Mu traveled through time, this method had a professional term, "male best friend".
Not all women realize this from the beginning.
But even when she had some doubts, most of the time she didn't dare to believe it, or was unwilling to believe it, and just thought that she was thinking too much.
Until the ultimate self-deception leads to downfall.
Compared to "male best friend", the cover identity of "little nephew" is obviously safer.
After the dream, Li Mu carefully reviewed what happened after he entered Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhang Hanrui actually had many opportunities to kill him directly, but she didn't.
Even the final "killer move" took Li Mu a long time to figure out. With Zhang Hanrui's intelligence, it was impossible for her not to know that Su Yuwei could not kill him at all.
Li Mu once asked the reason, and Zhang Hanrui just said that she was not completely sure of the strength Li Mu showed at that time.
At that time, Li Mu believed it without a doubt, but now...
Dong Laiguan's sudden feelings are inexplicable.
Although Li Mu was unwilling to admit it, it seemed that he had indeed served as a substitute for someone else.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Mu has been irritable in recent days.
I don’t know whether I cheated on the original owner or the original owner cheated on me.
However, Li Mu did not realize that his feelings for Zhang Hanrui were so abrupt.
Of course, even if Li Mu realized it, she would eventually attribute it to lust. After all, she had never seen a woman who was more harmful to the country and the people than Zhang Hanrui.
