Xiao Ziyan, who was not far away, looked back after hearing the sound.
His body was half-covered in the shadow, and the warm golden sun shone through the patio on half of his face. The male face, half bright and half dark, was obscure and unpredictable...
Mu Ci looked into his coldly radiant eyes, her smile still unchanged.
Zhou Sihan and Zhou Yueting were shocked when they heard Mu Ci's words.
It was Zhou Sihan who found her voice first. She shouted angrily: "Miss Qu, you have to speak with conscience. What benefits can you gain by slandering Cousin Xiao like this?"
Cousin Xiao is not such a person.
This woman really thinks she is so good-looking that Cousin Xiao can bother to kidnap her? It’s simply ridiculous!
"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, just ask your cousin Xiao." Mu Ci threw the hydrangea to Xiao Ziyan.
Xiao Ziyan has great martial arts skills. If he enters the palace and takes her away, while avoiding the masters besieging her, it should be easy, right?
Zhou Sihan couldn't bear to hear anyone mention anything bad about Xiao Ziyan. She became anxious and asked Xiao Ziyan: "Cousin Xiao, what she said is not true, right?"
Cousin Xiao has no shortage of women's admiration, so why would he try to rob a woman and bring her home? Although this woman is indeed not bad looking.
Xiao Ziyan squinted at Mu Ci who was not far away. This woman was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"It was indeed me who robbed her." Xiao Ziyan still chose to tell the truth.
Zhou Sihan looked at Xiao Ziyan in disbelief. The rhetoric she had prepared was of no use at this moment.
Even Zhou Yueting was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Xiao Ziyan to admit this.
"Is it true?" Zhou Sihan finally found his voice.
Cousin Xiao must have told such a big lie to protect that woman.
"How can this be false? Your good cousin not only robbed me, but also locked me up in the Zhou Mansion and prohibited me from going out. Even if I wanted to go home, he wouldn't agree." Mu Ci calmly said.
"That's not the case. Cousin Xiao would not do such a thing." Zhou Si said with a lump in his throat: "If you want to leave, you can leave now!"
Mu Ci laughed: "In this family, what you say is effective?"
Zhou Sihan was choked by Mu Ci's words. Of course she couldn't make the decision, but if this woman wanted to leave, who would keep her? Did she really think she was that important?
"Stop messing around and come inside to eat." Xiao Ziyan gave the order in a cold voice, his eyes lingering on Mu Ci's face for a moment.
It seemed like he was warning her to stop playing with fire.
Mu Ci pretended not to notice, and she took the lead in entering the house.
I was going to the dining room, but when I got to the corridor, I smelled the fragrance of ink.
She looked at where Mo Xiang was coming from. There were four treasures of the study over there. This should be the study, right?
"What are you looking at furtively?" Zhou Sihan became angry when he saw Mu Ci's face, and naturally he didn't like anything she did.
When Mu Ci saw Xiao Ziyan looking over, she calmly looked away: "I'm a little hungry. I have to go back and rest after lunch."
She took the lead into the dining room and sat down at the main table.
Zhou Sihan got angry when he saw this: "Miss Qu, you are a guest, how can you sit in the main seat?!"
Zhou Yueting gently pulled her sleeves, signaling her to say less.
But Zhou Sihan brushed her hand away: "She can do it, why can't I say it? This is obviously Cousin Xiao's villa, and she really regards it as her own home."
"I am Master Xiao's distinguished guest. Master Xiao has no objection, so just shut up!" Mu Ci thought Zhou Sihan was noisy, so she ordered Xiao Ziyan: "If she doesn't shut up, throw her out."
A smile flashed in Xiao Ziyan's eyes: "Okay."
Zhou Sihan blushed with anger.
This woman actually had the nerve to give orders to Cousin Xiao. Who in the Zhou family would dare to be disrespectful to Cousin Xiao? Even the old man was very respectful when he saw Cousin Xiao.
It was Xiao Ziyan's attitude that made her sad the most.
When he sat down to eat, Xiao Ziyan naturally laid out the dishes for Mu Ci.
Mu Ci glanced at Xiao Ziyan from time to time. He looked a bit like Dugu Lianyun.
"Concentrate on your meal." Xiao Ziyan almost hit Mu Ci with his chopsticks when he saw that he was distracted.
Mu Ci didn't even bother to eat: "These dishes are not to my liking, they don't taste good."
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to fry it." Xiao Ziyan replied immediately.
Mu Ci's eyes flashed slightly.
She is not a picky eater, she just said that, she was deliberately testing. She still wants to know a result, it is better than making random guesses on her own.
"I just don't like these meals. You can let people prepare them as they please. If possible, prepare more dishes for me to choose from. There will always be one that suits my appetite." Mu Ci didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Appropriate.
Zhou Sihan gasped after hearing this.
Everyone in the Zhou family knew that Cousin Xiao had a bad temper and did not like to interact with others. No one had ever dared to make things difficult for Cousin Xiao, but this woman in front of him took the courage of a leopard.
Does she really think that she can do whatever she wants just because of her beauty?
Zhou Sihan waited with bated breath for Xiao Ziyan's answer, hoping that Xiao Ziyan would have some temper and throw this shameless Qu girl out of the pavilion.
"Your method is feasible." Xiao Ziyan's answer made Zhou Sihan's heart almost break.
She never thought that Xiao Ziyan would manipulate a woman to such an extent.
Not to mention that Zhou Sihan couldn't believe it, even Zhou Yueting found it incredible. She couldn't help but look at Mu Ci a few more times. There must be something about Miss Qu that made Cousin Xiao care about, so Cousin Xiao would behave like this.
Just follow the girl Qu, right?
Xiao Ziyan quickly gave the order.
As for the two young ladies of the Zhou family who were having a meal, they were a little embarrassed. It was not okay to not have a meal, and it was a bit strange to continue eating, so they simply waited.
But they didn't expect that the chef at Gui Ge would cook so quickly.
In just two quarters of an hour, twenty dishes were served. Such speed is astonishing.
Especially the richness and beauty of the dishes are amazing.
Mu Ci was not surprised.
If Xiao Ziyan is Dugu Lianyun, he will definitely have a group of people who can do things, including the cook. Even if Xiao Ziyan is not Dugu Lianyun, he can still raise a group of people who can do things.
And this person must be ambitious and ambitious.
She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment, she just looked at the dishes on the table in a daze.
"Eat it while it's hot and see if it suits your appetite." Xiao Ziyan's warm and soft voice awakened Mu Ci's thoughts.
She grabbed two dishes nearby and ordered them while eating: "It's delicious, it's my favorite taste."
Xiao Wu, who was waiting nearby, breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Mu Ci would not be happy and the kitchen would have to be busy again.
This girl Qu is different. The young master tried every means to please her, which is enough to show how powerful Miss Qu is.
Thanks to Mu Ci, Zhou Yueting and Zhou Sihan both had good tastes.

The update is finished today. Ci Ci will not be outside the palace for too long. As for who Lao Xiao is, the babies should have figured it out, right?
