If I had only felt that the outline of Nangong Muchi was vaguely familiar through the colorful gauze in the palace of Luozha Kingdom before, then tonight, such a close contact with Nangong Muchi made the memories emerge clearly in my mind again.

But the reappearance of this memory made her secretly surprised.

Originally, she had a vague feeling that her father's arrangement was a little strange, and there were some things that made her feel a little weird. Although finding the Jade Haze Stone was a sure thing, she had a vague feeling that it was not that simple.

Although her father taught all of them the same things from childhood to adulthood, there was one thing that made her different from the other sisters. In the past, she just thought that as the eldest daughter, she had to bear more than her younger sisters, so her father told her some things but didn't tell the other sisters so that they could bear less. But now, everything that happened was strange, reminding her that things didn't seem to be that simple.

Nangong Muxi, who was interrupted, looked at the man in front of him with some disbelief. He said that he trusted him absolutely, but now he looked at him in a daze for a long time without saying a word. His eyes moved slightly as his eyebrows raised. "You actually believe it, but you just now?"

"Zong Zheng Qi Qi, who are you?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting bit his lower lip lightly and asked tentatively.

Who knew that her words would leave Nangong Muxi stunned on the spot.

"Who are you?" The laziness and indifference in Nangong Muxi's eyes had faded away, and now his eyes were full of vigilance.

"It's your mother, right?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not answer Nangong Muxi's words, but gave the answer directly.

As expected, her words made her see Nangong Muxi's body stiffen slightly.

"Who are you?" At this moment, Nangong Muchi's words were full of suspicion, and his eyes were fixed on Zongzheng Xiaoting without blinking.

"My name is Zong Zheng Xiaoting, it's Zong Zheng Xiaoting!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words seemed very normal, but they seemed to imply something. Just when Nangong Muxi was about to ask something, Zong Zheng Xiaoting spoke first again, "If Zong Zheng Qiqi is really your mother, please ask her if she knows someone named Zong Zhengxu. If you ask her, you will naturally know who entrusted me."

Nangong Muxi stared at Zongzheng Xiaoting, and saw that her eyes did not evade at all, and she met his inquiring eyes so openly. Since he mentioned his mother, he no longer called himself "Ben Gong Ben Gong". No one knew who his mother was, and no one knew that his father had not married for many years because he secretly built a place for their family happiness with his mother. No one knew that his mother was more mysterious and elusive than other people who hid in the mountains and forests.

At this moment, how could a princess who knew nothing know her mother's real name and existence? It seemed that there were some things that needed to be confirmed by her mother. Besides, she had just mentioned that she was entrusted by someone, or maybe this was related to her mother's frequent disappearances!

Nangong Muxi pursed his lips tightly, and stared at Zongzheng Xiaoting's face with sharp eyes, trying to see something from it. After a long silence, he finally said something between his teeth, "What do you want to do?"

Yes, even Situ Xunxiao was not very clear about his mother's identity, but how could this princess from Luozha Kingdom, whom he had never met, know all this? In his mind, his first reaction was that only enemies would try every means to get everything about the people he cared about, and the three people he cared about most in the world, whether it was his parents or Situ Xunxiao, he would never allow them to make any mistakes!

Nangong Muxi's hostility gradually filled her eyes. Seeing his hostility towards her, Zongzheng Xiaoting just smiled faintly. If what her father said was true, this person in front of her must be her cousin! But she didn't know if her aunt Zongzheng Qiqi would only tell half of many things like her father. This was different from her living in the 21st century, so maybe her aunt would not tell him many things? Forget it, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's white fingers gently brushed across her wrist, revealing the soul-locking necklace that ordinary people could not see. After some thought, she slowly spoke, "The reason I can speak frankly is because the person who asked me to do this is an old friend of your mother. But he told me in a mysterious way that I must tell you everything only in front of your mother, so I can't tell you what it is. But there is one thing I can guarantee, that person will only do good to you, not bad. Because..."

Zongzheng Xiaoting's hesitation made Nangong Muxi ask anxiously, "Why?"

Unlike Nangong Muxi's eagerness, Zongzheng Xiaoting gently raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Muxi, with sincerity naturally revealed in her eyes. She said softly, "Because that person is the closest person to your mother."

Hearing this, Nangong Muxi was slightly shocked. The closest person?

Listening to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words and seeing the sincerity on her face, he also tried hard to think about some fragments of his memory of the time he spent with his mother.

Yes, in his memory, his mother would occasionally mention her closest relative, her brother! But he remembered that every time he asked about his uncle's whereabouts, his mother would always look bitter. In recent years, his mother would disappear without a trace from time to time, and he once suspected that she was going to look for his uncle.

If everything is really as she said, then it is indeed possible. Only my uncle could know who my mother married and his identity!

Just out of consideration for his mother's safety, Nangong Muxi still asked stubbornly, "Why should I trust you?"

"I said these words without any evidence. If you believe it, then you believe it. If you don't, I can't do anything about it." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled nonchalantly. "Besides, for a multiple-choice question like this, I believe that Brother Nangong has learned the rules of survival over the years. I don't need Xiaoting to tell you how to avoid it? How to be foolproof? Isn't it?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's call of "Nangong Big Brother" was able to bring him a touch of warmth. Nangong Muxi naturally knew that in these conversations, she no longer had the high and mighty attitude of a princess. Just a title, just the word "I", had already brought them closer. Moreover, what she said was indeed so. Even if he didn't know whether it was credible or not, he still had the ability to let his mother meet her and protect her.

"Okay, I believe you!" Nangong Muxi nodded, "If I see my mother, I will bring her here."

The two smiled at each other, but at this moment, Qin Xiao also appeared in the banquet hall, and his expression was a little serious.
