If Zhou Jiahui had some brains, she would not be easily plotted by her. With such virtue, he would dare to harm her.
In Mu Ci's view, Zhou Jiahui was really vulnerable.
"That's right, girl." Nan Xing responded obediently.
Mu Ci read for a while and suddenly remembered something: "Who are the other relatives of the Zhou family?"
At present, she only knows that the Zhou family is a wealthy merchant family in the country and is very wealthy. Even if it is not the richest man in the country, it is still close to it, right?
Such a wealthy family does have some weight.
Nan Xing looked confused and looked back at Nan Yue. Nan Yue was also confused about the situation.
"Call Mother Chen to come here." Mu Ci could see that the person who could really speak was Mother Chen.
Nan Xing and Nan Yue were careless girls, but they didn't know anything about it.
Soon Mother Chen came over. She bowed politely and waited for instructions.
Mu Ci looked at Mother Chen up and down.
Mother Chen has a calm face, behaves well, and is well-dressed. The way she stands, the position of her hands, and her demeanor all look like those of a specially trained person.
"Do you know who are the relatives of the Zhou family?" Mu Ci looked at Mother Chen for a moment and asked.
Mother Chen lowered her eyes and was about to reply, but Mu Ci ordered again: "Look at me and answer."
Mother Chen's heart trembled and she hesitated for a moment.
When she hesitated, Mu Ci immediately saw this detail.
It seems that Mother Chen’s words may not be trustworthy, or maybe it’s because her questions make it difficult for Mother Chen to answer. Perhaps, Mother Chen still wants to ask Mrs. Zhou for instructions.
"Girl, I don't know much about the Zhou family." Mother Chen replied respectfully.
Mu Ci looked at her deeply: "Okay, step back."
If there is nothing shameful about the relatives of the Zhou family, why doesn’t Mother Chen want to tell them? Doesn’t it mean that if Mother Chen lies, there is something wrong with the relatives of the Zhou family?
It seems that the water in Zhoujia is very deep. I must check it carefully if I have the opportunity in the future.
Now that she is in the Zhou family, her every move may be watched. No matter how curious she is, she cannot risk her life. There will always be a chance to find out who are the relatives of the Zhou family in the future.
For the next time, Mu Ci stayed in the yard every day.
But the legendary Xiao Ziyan seemed not to be in the Zhou family, she had never seen him.
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye, and Mu Ci's curiosity about Xiao Ziyan also disappeared with the passage of time.
One night she went to bed very early, and the next day she got up very early and went out for a walk in Hengwu Garden.
When she reached the fork leading to the Gui Pavilion, she heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from inside.
She thought in her mind, does this mean that Xiao Ziyan has come to the Zhou family? Should she go and meet this Xiao Ziyan for a while?
In this way, she set foot on the path leading to the return pavilion.
The closer she got, the clearer the sound of the piano became, as if the person was playing the piano right next to her.
When her field of vision widened, she saw a young man in white playing the piano in front of his pavilion.
As if sensing her gaze, the man raised his eyes and met hers.
Mu Ci never thought that she would meet this person again in this situation. She stood in a daze for a long time before she found her voice: "Who are you..."
Is it a human, a ghost, or is there really a man in this world who looks so much like the late emperor?
The man didn't speak, he just looked at her steadily.
Mu Ci walked up to him and looked at him closely: "Who are you?!"
This man looked the same as the late emperor, except that the former emperor had warmer features, while the man in front of him had cold eyes and no trace of warmth in his body.
He looks like the late emperor, but his temperament is completely different from that of the late emperor.
"My surname is Xiao, and my name is Ziyan. Miss Qu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Ziyan is still sitting, but his momentum has not diminished at all.
"Then do you know who I am?" Mu Ci asked calmly.
No matter who this person is, he has appeared in Plum Blossom Pavilion before, so it is an indisputable fact that he has seen her, and he must also know that she is the Queen Mother.
"I met you once in the palace, so of course I know who you are." Xiao Ziyan said, bowing to Mu Cigong: "The common people have met the Queen Mother."
Mu Ci looked at the way he was bending over, and it was so annoying.
"There is no need to salute me in the future." Mu Ci paused and then said, "Look at me and reply."
Xiao Ziyan raised his head as instructed and looked directly at Mu Ci.
"Did you bring me out of the cold palace?" Mu Ci asked with a calm expression.
She is still thinking about a question.
Xiao Ziyan had the same face as the late emperor, and appeared in the Plum Blossom Pavilion that night. One year after she lived in the cold palace, he suddenly took her out of the cold palace and moved into the Zhou family. Is all this a coincidence or something else?
conspiracy?
She never believed that there were so many coincidences in the world, and there was always something strange about this matter.
"Yes." Xiao Ziyan did not avoid Mu Ci's question.
Mu Ci looked at him for a while and then asked, "Why?"
Xiao Ziyan seemed to be thinking about how to answer her question, and after a while he said: "You are still young and should not live in the cold palace, so I took it upon myself to bring you out."
"Why did you put me in Zhou's house?" Mu Ci chased after him.
Xiao Ziyan's posture was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was the same as that of the late emperor, but she still couldn't be sure whether he was the late emperor or not.
"Lin'an City is far away from the capital, and the Zhou family is not involved in politics. I think it is more suitable for you to live in the Zhou family." Xiao Ziyan followed the good advice.
The most important question at the next moment was Mu Ci's question: "Are you brother Lianyun?"
All the questions she asked before were not that important, but they were just introductions to divert his attention. She just wanted to catch him off guard at the critical moment.
And she has been keeping a close eye on Xiao Ziyan, and she can catch him whenever he hesitates a little bit.
"Brother Lianyun?" Xiao Ziyan didn't seem to know who brother Lianyun was.
And his expressions matched very well, without any hesitation during the process.
Mu Ci thought she was very accurate in judging people, but now she was a little unsure. If the person in front of her was really the late emperor, then the late emperor's acting skills would be great.
If it were not the late emperor, and there really was a person who looked exactly like the late emperor in the world, and he happened to appear in the palace, this would not be a good thing.
And she was taken out of the palace by this man.
"Even if you are not Dugu Lianyun, it is impossible that no one will tell you that you look similar to Dugu Lianyun." Mu Ci said calmly.
Therefore, Xiao Ziyan had expected that she would ask such a question and was fully prepared.
There really wasn't anything wrong with his expression, but the acting was so good that it was over the top.
"Although I don't know what your intention is and what the purpose of bringing me into the Zhou family is, but I am patient. Maybe you will figure it out one day and you can tell me." Mu Ci said, before returning.
He looked in front of the pavilion and said, "Can I go in and take a look?"
Although she was asking the owner for his opinion, Xiao Zibo had already stepped into the yard before he could answer.
