Mu Xiaocheng came out of the training room, went back to her room and took a shower. It was almost noon.
While Ji Huaishen was still dealing with official business, Mu Xiaocheng wandered around aimlessly by herself.
She had just reached the corner on the second floor when she encountered a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid.
The woman was very thin, with slightly yellow skin and not very tall, but she had an approachable face.
She had thick, straight bangs, and her face was pale.
"Madam, lunch is ready. The master has some matters to attend to, so please eat first."
Mu Xiaocheng still hasn't gotten used to the term "Madam".
She's a young and beautiful fairy, but being called "Madam" makes her sound very old.
She moved her lips slightly, looked down at her, and asked, "What...what's your name?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman lowered her head even further.
“My name is Zhuang Yun, but they all call me Sister-in-law Zhuang.”
Mu Xiaocheng nodded and didn't say anything more, but she felt that the woman in front of her, Aunt Zhuang, seemed quite timid.
She was thin, weak, and timid.
Unconsciously, Mu Xiaocheng stared at her for a few more seconds.
Her gaze casually swept over the woman's forehead, where it seemed to be...
"Your forehead..."
Just as Mu Xiaocheng was about to speak, she saw Aunt Zhuang lower her head even further.
"Madam, please go and have lunch."
She spoke respectfully, interrupting Mu Xiaocheng.
Mu Xiaocheng frowned; she had just noticed that Aunt Zhuang seemed to have an injury on her forehead.
Never mind, after all, it's someone else's business, and it's not appropriate for her to interfere.

When Mu Xiaocheng arrived at the dining room, Chi Yan was already eating.
As soon as Chi Dashao saw Mu Xiaocheng, he raised his voice and greeted her, "Sister-in-law."
Mu Xiaocheng looked around the entire dining room. The decor was very elegant and spacious. Compared to the Meng family's, it was like heaven and earth.
She sighed silently.
Ugh, capitalism is truly evil.
Mu Xiaocheng walked to the seat next to Chi Yan and sat down.
Aunt Zhuang skillfully handed her the tableware and ladled out a bowl of soup for her, placing it aside.
"Madam, please try the taste first. The master said that if you don't like it, we can change to another chef next time."
After hearing what Aunt Zhuang said, Mu Xiaocheng couldn't help but look at the dishes on the table.
Most of them were her favorite dishes, and they looked pretty good.
He's definitely a big shot; it sounds like he changes chefs as easily as he changes clothes.
Mu Xiaocheng took a bite of the dish; it tasted pretty good.
"It tastes good, no need to change it."
Chi Yan took a sip of wine, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her smile was incredibly irritating.
“Sister-in-law, if you don’t like it, just tell my brother. Don’t worry about saving money for him. He has plenty of money.”
Mu Xiaocheng paused in her chopsticks, glancing at Chi Yan with a sly look: "So, this is your excuse for freeloading here?"
"How...how should I speak?"
Young Master Chi was taken advantage of in front of so many servants. Doesn't he have any dignity?
Mu Xiaocheng coughed lightly and then remained silent.
She didn't know Chi Yan personally, but she had heard of his name.
He's a very famous figure in the underworld.
Mu Xiaocheng glanced at Chi Dashao, who looked carefree and nonchalant. This guy seemed heartless, but in reality, he was very meticulous.
She picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed, her cheeks bulging.
Seeing that Mu Xiaocheng was enjoying her meal, Chi Yan moved his chair closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, when are you going to get my brother's tattoos appraised?"
This scene happened to be witnessed by Ji Huaishen, who had just come downstairs.
The two were standing close together, seemingly whispering to each other. They appeared to have a good relationship.
