Chapter 2112 He’s an ‘Acquaintance’!

Mu Anxiao knew the man in the bamboo hat would react this way, and she was used to it. "Funny, isn't it?" she said calmly.

"Isn't it funny? Think about it," the man in the bamboo hat replied, his smile fading. He leaned closer, meeting Mu Anxiao's eyes. "If Zhao Xiang and the others knew you were here, what would they think of you?"

"This was opened by Ouyang Ye. I believe he knows this place," Mu Anxiao guessed that the man in the bamboo hat intended to use this place to threaten her, so she decided to tell the truth.

"You really don't hide anything," the man in the bamboo hat said, straightening up.

Mu Anxiao replied, "There's no need to hide. Why should I? Now," she spread out her hands, "can you give me the silver?"

"Send me away," the man in the bamboo hat said.

Mu Anxiao let out a soft hum, "What else? Your disguise is too conspicuous. If Ouyang Ye comes, he'll definitely find you, and then he'll see me," she continued to spread her hands, "What will I do?"

The man in the bamboo hat shrugged.

Mu Anxiao saw this and got angry. "What do you mean by that?"

"It means nothing. Since you want me to change my disguise, I will," the man in the bamboo hat said, directly taking Mu Anxiao's hand. "However, you have to come with me."

"You change yours, why are you dragging me along?" Mu Anxiao looked panicked. Just as she was about to struggle free, the man in the bamboo hat, without a word, pulled her along.

And so, Mu Anxiao lost her chance to break free.

Immediately after, Mu Anxiao was led by the man in the bamboo hat to the kitchen outside the backyard. To Mu Anxiao's surprise, there wasn't a single person in the kitchen, nor were there any cooking utensils. She was puzzled by this. "Why are there no chefs? Where did those dishes come from?" she muttered to herself, forgetting that she was being led by the man in the bamboo hat.

At that moment, the man in the bamboo hat consciously let go of her hand. He looked down at Mu Anxiao's confused expression and smiled. "The kitchen is inside."

Inside?

Mu Anxiao frowned slightly at the man's words and asked, "How do you know?" She turned to look at him.

"I've looked all over this place." As he spoke, the man in the bamboo hat removed his hat.

Mu Anxiao didn't pay attention to his actions and said, "You've been here before."

The man in the bamboo hat nodded.

"Then why did you say you were curious?"

"You've been here too, so why don't you admit it?" the man in the bamboo hat said, handing the hat to Mu Anxiao.

Seeing this, Mu Anxiao deliberately put her hands behind her back. "I'm not holding it for you."

"Mu Anxiao, how arrogant."

Mu Anxiao?

It turned out that besides Feng Qishi, only the Mu family knew her real name, and even they rarely used it. Hearing the man in the bamboo hat suddenly call her name, she was startled. "What did you call me?" She took a step back, deeply suspecting that this man in the bamboo hat might be an assassin sent by Madam Mu.

On the contrary, the man in the bamboo hat still held out his hat and smiled. "You don't even recognize me, you..."

"Are you sent by Madam to kill me?" Mu Anxiao was filled with suspicion.

The man in the bamboo hat looked at Mu Anxiao's cautious expression and sighed. "Mu Anxiao, you've really had enough." With that, he pulled off the black cloth covering his face in front of her.

At the same time, a woman's voice suddenly came from inside, "Who's there?"

Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned around.

The man in the bamboo hat frowned, quickly reached out to pull off the cloth strip from Mu Anxiao's hair, and then grabbed her arm. "Don't hit me." After speaking, he quickly pulled her towards him, bent down, and kissed her.

Everything happened too suddenly, and Mu Anxiao's mind went blank. However, through their close contact, she recognized... that he was Feng Qishi.

Feng Qishi closed his eyes and hugged Mu Anxiao.

The next second, the woman who had just spoken was startled and said, "You guys really are..." She then glanced at Mu Anxiao's long hair draped behind her shoulders with a smile, and turned to leave.

A few seconds later.

Feng Qishi slowly straightened up and looked uncomfortably at Mu Anxiao, who was avoiding his gaze. "There's a well over there," he said, pointing to a nearby well.

Every time something like this happened, Mu Anxiao would go to rinse her mouth. At first, Feng Qishi would feel awkward, but after many times, he got used to it. Moreover, his actions were sudden, and he could understand her reaction.

"..." Mu Anxiao remained still, looked up at Feng Qishi, and said, "Are you alright?" Then she took a deep breath.

Feng Qishi: "Aren't you going to rinse your mouth?"

"Are you alright?" Mu Anxiao retorted.

Feng Qishi smiled as he looked at Mu Anxiao's concerned expression. "If I wasn't alright, I wouldn't have come to find you."

"Then, how is the situation... at the General's mansion?"

"Shen Lü is there," Feng Qishi said, glancing at the well again and asking, "Aren't you going to rinse your mouth?"

Hearing Feng Qishi's repeated question, Mu Anxiao responded helplessly, "This is Ouyang Ye's territory. What if the water in this well is poisoned? Do you want to see me die?" Saying this, she reached out and snatched the bamboo hat from Feng Qishi's hand.

Feng Qishi was startled. "Didn't you say you wouldn't hold it for me?"

"That wasn't you just now," Mu Anxiao said, wiping her nose. "Didn't you want to change your disguise? Go ahead and change." She turned her back.

Feng Qishi looked down at the back of Mu Anxiao's head and thought about his actions. He deliberately asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"..." Mu Anxiao tilted her face. "Hitting you would be a waste of time."

"Still angry," Feng Qishi mumbled, and began to change his disguise with magic.

Soon, Feng Qishi changed into a clean white robe. Then, while tidying his sleeves, he said, "Please keep this bamboo hat for me for now." After speaking, he walked around in front of Mu Anxiao.

"Why? Just keep it yourself," Mu Anxiao said, unconvinced, and handed the hat back to Feng Qishi.

Similarly, Feng Qishi handed the cloth strip he had just pulled from Mu Anxiao's hair back to her. "Tie up your hair."

"You..."

"I am the young master, and you are the servant," Feng Qishi interrupted, pointing to Mu Anxiao's face.

Mu Anxiao's lips curled. "I refuse to."

"What do you mean?" Feng Qishi had a bad premonition.

"What do I mean?" Mu Anxiao repeated, looking up and down at Feng Qishi's clothes, her lips curling. "I'll be the young master, and you'll be the servant."

"You..."

"What 'you'? You are currently being held under house arrest by Ouyang Ye, and this is Ouyang Ye's territory, so you should cover your face." Mu Anxiao said, then took the cloth strip and smiled at Feng Qishi.

Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's arrogant and resourceful expression and sneered, "Silly Mu, aren't you afraid Ouyang Ye will recognize you?"

"I have a way, you don't need to worry," Mu Anxiao said in a low voice.
