four

Si Yu lowered her gaze slightly, her ears feeling a bit warm. If he remembered correctly, there was indeed a birthmark on her lower back

But I feel that she is just Mengmeng..." Xuanyuan Chen said softly

To be honest, I have a younger sister named Xuanyuan Meng, who unfortunately went missing when she was six years old. My family has searched high and low without any results. Miss Mu bears a striking resemblance to me, and it is very likely that she is my biological sister. Xuanyuan Chen bowed slightly and spoke with some urgency.

Gongsun Jing stepped forward, patted Xuanyuan Chen on the shoulder, and said: "It's alright, we can just look for it again"

I wondered why the voice was different from Xuanyuan's. It turned out to be a girl! The young man, referred to as Gongsun, also approached and, after sizing Mu Zhi up from head to toe, suddenly seemed to remember something. He slapped his thigh and asked Xuanyuan Chen, "Wait a minute, is your Xuanyuan Meng engaged to my Gongsun Jing?"

"Young Master Xuanyuan? Did you not go in? How come you are out again?" Just as Mu was deep in thought about how to enter, the doorman suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Mu.

In the past, whenever Mu went out, there would always be some rascals surrounding her. At that time, she struggled to maintain her image and could not take action, only able to dodge and evade. Now that she is free from constraints, she immediately slapped the other person on the forehead and glared, saying: "Who is your Xuanyuan brother? Open your eyes wide and see clearly."

Si Yu nodded

Xuan Yuan Chen was momentarily stunned in place upon seeing Mu Zhi's unwavering conviction

It is rumored that there are three prominent families in Yunzhou that are renowned: the Gongsun family, the Xun family, and the Xuanyuan family

Mu Zhi was dazzled by the blooming flowers and beautiful maidens in the garden, and soon a lovely maid approached to lead Mu Zhi and Si Yu.

You are indeed Mengmeng!" Xuan Yuanchen exclaimed, excitedly gripping Mu Zhi's shoulders, joyfully saying

As Mu entered the garden, he was captivated, not only by the abundance of flowers but also by the multitude of beauties within the garden

She has heard everything, she is betrothed to Gongsun Jing, she cannot be bound by this engagement

The flower appreciation event hosted by Master Xun Er is the most lively, and this time there will be the assistance of the thousand-layer flower, how could one possibly miss it

Mu Zhi and Si Yu walked along the winding corridor over the lake, making their way to the pavilion above, and then found a gap in the crowd to look over.

The young master is painting! Please, both of you, go ahead. The beautiful maid said with a smile and then withdrew.

If Mengmeng is found, you naturally must fulfill the marriage contract between the two families

Although Mu Zhi had hit someone, he was also afraid of retaliation from the other party. He quickly shrank behind Si Yu and, after confirming that his position was safe, he finally raised his head to look at that person.

In the middle of the pavilion, a captivating beauty, dressed in a partially undone garment, sits gracefully on a round stool. A man in splendid attire holds a brush in his hand, painting on her exposed shoulder.

Si Yu paused in his steps, but Mu Zhi unwaveringly waved his hand, his crisp voice clearly resonating, "So your sister is definitely not me!"

Let us go, for Xun Er's flower viewing event is about to begin

Half a month later, Mu and his companions finally arrived in Yunzhou

At this sight, Mu's eyes widened in shock.

The young man suddenly widened his eyes, displaying an expression of disbelief, stammering as he spoke, "H-how can there be two Xuanyuan?"

The flower appreciation event is held at Xun Garden, which is a private garden of the Xun family. After Mu followed the crowd to Xun Garden, he, like most people, was stopped outside. To enter, one must have an invitation.

"I won't go," Mu firmly rejected, "I am not your sister, so you might as well give up on that idea."

I heard that Young Master Xun Er has cultivated the Thousand Luo Flower this time! Young Master Gongsun has already gone over, let's hurry and take a look too!" At that moment, a group of hurried young men and women passed by, and a voice reached Mu Zhi's ears, causing her ears to perk up suddenly

The man was dressed in a fine blue brocade robe, with a tall and slender figure, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes, appearing quite handsome; unfortunately, he was a libertine

The man was dressed in blue, with a jade crown binding his hair. Between his brows, there was an air of imposing heroism. He was taller than her, and if one were to only see his back, it would be impossible to imagine that his face would be identical to hers

After following the maid through several winding paths, the two entered a more elegant inner courtyard, which featured flowers, a lake, and pavilions. From a distance, Mu noticed that on the platform of the pavilion in the center of the lake, a group of people had formed a semicircle, eagerly watching something.

The Gongsun clan excels in martial arts and possesses managerial talent, thus holding the esteemed position of a city lord; the Xun clan is endowed with the gift of commerce, their wealth rivaling that of nations; as for the Xuanyuan clan, they are the most mysterious among the noble families, reputed to be well-versed in the Dao and skilled in the art of subduing demons

And that painting is clearly the Thousand-Layer Flower

Dengtuci stared at Mu Zhi for a moment and asked in confusion: "Xuanyuan, why are you hitting me? You are not my brother Xuanyuan, who else could you be? No, why has your voice changed? Also, why have you become shorter?"

Mu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Is that so?"

Seeing the other party in such a manner, Mu Zhi curiously turned around. When she looked up, it was as if she had been frozen in place, unable to move.

Mu was no longer calm, tugging at Si Yu's arm, stammering, "Si... Si Yu, have I encountered a ghost?"

"Dream on!" Mu's body shrank down, avoiding Xuan Yuanchen's hand, and once again hid behind Si Yu, snorting, "I was just teasing you, who is your sister? I have no father, no mother, no brothers, and no sisters, so don't go around claiming relatives."

"Si Yu, you really said it right, this Yunzhou is quite peculiar, to actually encounter someone who looks so much like me... If it weren't for the fact that I don't have a birthmark, I would truly think I was Xuan Yuan Chen's sister." On the way back, Mu Zhi couldn't help but say.

This is a city even more bustling than the capital, where people of all shapes and colors pass by on the streets. Tea houses and taverns are everywhere, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares fill the streets. A dazzling array of various goods is on display, overwhelming the senses of those who behold it

Mu Zhi rolled his eyes in exasperation, wondering if these two could stop being so self-indulgent in their feelings

Si Yu was pushed in front by Mu Zhi to act as a shield, and could only speak on her behalf: "I am Si Yu, and this is my friend Mu Zhi, not the Meng Meng mentioned by Young Master Xuanyuan."

Mu Zhi raised an eyebrow and walked in with his head held high and chest out

"Si Yu, let's go." Mu Zhi shook his head.

On the lower back of the younger sister, there is a dark-colored birthmark shaped like a fingerprint. Xuanyuan Chen quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice

Mu Zhi suddenly felt a bit uncertain; she stroked her chin, realizing that she would need to go back and confirm this tonight

Upon seeing Mu's figure, Si Yu could not help but curl her lips into a smile

How could there be someone who looks exactly like her

"Miss Mu, could you please accompany me back to the Xuanyuan family?" Xuanyuan Chen quickly followed up and asked

After Mu Zhi settled down at the restaurant, Dong Bai once again collapsed onto the bed due to the adverse effects of the local environment. Mu Zhi could only go out onto the street with Si Yu.

"Brother Xuanyuan, so you are here." Mu Zhi was stopped in front of a small stall when a clear male voice suddenly sounded from beside her. At the same time, a hand had already rested on Mu Zhi's shoulder, and the newcomer warmly embraced her, saying: "Let's go, let's go, Xun Er's flower appreciation event is about to begin. How can we miss such a lively occasion?"

The doorman, upon hearing this, quickly said: "Please come in at once"

Si Yu did not speak; he lagged behind Mu Zhi by a step, so Mu Zhi did not notice that his gaze was fixed on her lower back

I am Xuanyuan Chen, may I ask for the young lady's esteemed name? From which place do you hail?" The man named Xuanyuan Chen stepped forward first, and the calm expression on his face suddenly revealed a ripple of emotions.

"I heard that the defensive midfielder is a blind spot in vision, perhaps you are unaware of this," Si Yu said softly

Mu tugged at her lips and said, "I said I am your biological sister, do you believe me?"

"Gongsun, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be attending Xun Er's flower appreciation event?" A clear and melodious male voice suddenly rang out, as the young man who had just been glaring at Mu Zhi abruptly shifted his gaze to behind Mu Zhi.

The other party was caught off guard by Mu and took a step back, raising their eyes to look over.

Mu pulled Si Yu to the front of the crowd, and through the open door, all that could be seen was a barrier made of flowers, with not even a shadow in sight

How could this be

Is there something wrong with his mind?" Mu tugged at Si Yu's sleeve and asked

Xun Er holds a flower appreciation event every three months, precisely because his garden is filled with beautiful flowers and charming individuals. He invites the most renowned young men and women from Yunzhou, which invariably attracts countless citizens from Yunzhou whenever the event is held

Um. Si Yushun replied obediently.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhi's eyes flashed as a plan formed in her mind. She cleared her throat twice, trying her best to imitate Xuan Yuan Chen's voice, pointed at Si Yu, and said: "I am here to pick up a friend"

Indeed, let's hurry up and go

On her way, she heard about the deeds of this Young Master Xun Er. It is said that he is infatuated with flowers, and his greatest pleasure in life lies in collecting various fresh blooms. Not only is he skilled at appreciating flowers, but he is also adept at cultivating them. The fresh flowers he personally plants, even a small pot, are worth a fortune.

Mu Zhi grabbed Si Yu's hand and said excitedly, "Did you hear that? They are talking about the Thousand Luo Flower! Hurry, let's follow them!"

"You are my brother, and you want me to marry someone who looks exactly like you? How can I possibly kiss that face?" Gong Sunjing became anxious; just the thought of it made him feel like he would be impotent for life.

His second pleasure lies in collecting various beauties, and his reputation for being charming is well-known far and wide. Wherever he goes, he is accompanied by beautiful women. In Xun Garden, he has kept a group of top-tier beauties year-round, who accompany him in planting flowers, appreciating flowers, and painting flowers, embodying both elegance and charm.

These three prominent families have been stationed in Yunzhou for hundreds of years, enduring through various dynasties. It is precisely because of the protection of these three families that Yunzhou City has remained independent from the court, untouched by the ravages of war for centuries

It is not that Xuan Yuan Chen's younger sister is the best; if it were truly the case, she would not be able to admit it either
